"You don't have to worry about that. Fei Yi will also go with you.”Leng Cangming turned around leisurely and looked at the painting of the welcoming pine hanging on the wall of the main hall of the Bamboo Pine Court. He sighed and said,""This painting was painted by your mother. Ah Wan…did your mother suffer when she passed away?”
Su Su smiled faintly and said in a voice as cold as ice,""Of course there is. Mother's greatest pain is that she didn't drag the manor lord down to the Heaven Underworld with her before she died.”After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left. His fiery red figure carried an arrogant and cold aura. Leng Cangming slowly turned around and looked at the beautiful figure who was about to step out of the Bamboo Pine Court. A sigh that was either sentimental or emotional overflowed from his throat. Before it could reach Su Su's ears, it was blown away by the hot summer wind.
"You never treated me as your father, just like your mother…never treated me as her husband.”
Su Su strolled along the winding path of the Shiying Villa. On both sides of the road were the roses that were in full bloom. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers. The scorching sun of early summer shone on her fiery red dress, making her look desolate.
She didn't know how long she had been walking until she reached a high wall. She stopped and looked at the pink peach blossoms that occasionally stuck out. Her lips curled into a smile. With a leap, Su Su stood on the high wall with her hands behind her back, looking down at the peach blossom garden that was still filled with spring. He vaguely remembered that a few months ago, she was sitting outside the pavilion in white and arrogantly saying stupid things that had nothing to do with her.
"Ah Wan, the peach blossoms are blooming just right this year. Why don't you chat with me for a while?”
Madam Ye's voice passed through the sea of flowers like waves and reached Su Su's ears. She looked at the four-sided pavilion hidden in the depths of the peach blossoms and smiled faintly."Master, you should know that I am too ashamed to see you.”
Accompanied by waves of gentle laughter, Madam Ye was dressed in a dark purple dress. Her long hair was tied up into a woman's sideburns, and her face was also smeared with some rouge. She looked up at Su Su, who was standing on the high wall, and smiled gently.""It's just that you acknowledged Fifth Sister as your master. She and I are both your aunts, so why care about those principles?”
Su Su had taken Leng Xiaxia as his master three days after Su Rouying's death. She knew very well that in terms of martial arts attainments, Leng Yunxue might not be as good as Leng Cangming, but she was still a top-notch master in the manor, a woman who even Leng Yunru, who was as ruthless as she was, could not defeat. Su Su felt that even if she let Madam Ye down, she had to give it a try for the future.
"Master, the manor lord has agreed to let me leave the manor.”
Madam Ye was stunned for a moment before she nodded and said,"In the end, he couldn't hold it in any longer. Knowing Rou Ying's personality, he guessed that she wouldn't tell you about the treasure. Fortunately, he made use of her thoroughly and directly included you in the Flowing Sword Technique…This really made Rou Ying unable to rest in peace even in the netherworld.”
Su Su smiled faintly and landed on the ground. Her dark red cloth boots bent a lot of green grass."Since Master has seen through it so thoroughly, then please help Ah Wan find a way out.”
"Since we're here, let's take it as it is. Ah Wan, your mother saw everything too clearly, so she couldn't let it go until she died. I only hope that you won't follow in her footsteps.”
She looked at the young girl in red. She was clearly only seventeen years old, but her eyes were filled with years of ups and downs. There was no unruly youth, only the usual calmness and indifference.
Turning around, Su Su looked at the demonic peach blossoms falling like rain and said,""Master, you should know that Ah Wan, like Mother, doesn't want to live a muddled life. So, dying with grievances is probably Ah Wan's final outcome.”
Ye Furen didn't say anything more. It would be meaningless to talk to such a young lady. This kind of person who was clear about love and hate was the most tiring. He was also the stupidest.
Su Su stayed in the Peach Crossing Garden for half a day. The master and disciple did not talk much. They wanted to chat about their daily life, but they could not find a place to do so. When Su Su left, Madam Ye took the sword from her waist and handed it to Su Su,""This sword is called the Heart of Execution. Although it is not a peerless treasure, it drinks blood as its power, and its sharpness is immeasurable. Your swordsmanship has long surpassed your master's, but unfortunately, you don't have a suitable weapon in your hand. This Executioner has followed me for decades and looks quite impressive. It will be yours in the future.”
Executioner…this name was very heartless. Su Su took it with a smile, took a step back, and bowed.""Master, if Ah Wan can come back alive in the future, she will definitely take Master away from the Dark Village and live a carefree life.”
Looking at the figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Madam Ye's gaze was filled with disappointment. After a while, she softly muttered,"I hope so…"
Su Su held the silver scabbard in front of her chest and examined it carefully. The silver scabbard was exquisitely crafted, and there were complicated totem patterns winding around the scabbard. It was lifelike. The sword hilt was very simple and did not have many decorations. When he pulled out the sword body that was as thin as a cicada's wing, he found that there was an ice-blue colored glaze embedded in the lower half of the sword hilt. It merged with the sword body and shone with a dazzling light of ice-blue and silver light under the scorching sun!
"What a good sword."
The unruly and wild woman that she had not seen for many days appeared in front of her. Su Su sheathed her sword and nodded slightly at the woman in red who had her arms crossed across her chest.""It's a good sword."
Hua Yin smiled and raised his eyebrows. He walked quickly to Su Su and circled around her.""Third Miss is really a beauty, but a cold beauty. Wearing such a warm red dress on you really doesn't make you happy at all.”
Su Su patted Hua Yin's hand on her shoulder and tilted her head to look at her, her eyes cold.""If you want to poison me, you should choose a better method. Are you looking down on me for such a small trick?”
Seeing that her trick had been seen through, Hua Yin did not get angry. His eyes, which were much more beautiful than those of the Central Plainsmen, were filled with wildness. He slightly raised his chin and narrowed his phoenix-like eyes, projecting a sense of madness."You're Zichen's biggest worry. Even if Hua Yin likes a girl like Third Miss, Zichen is Hua Yin's husband. Therefore, it's necessary to get rid of you.”
Su Su looked at Hua Yin, her eyes as still as water. She took a step forward and shortened the distance between her and Hua Yin. The two women in red were so close that they could feel each other's gentle breathing. If one of them messed up their internal breathing first, they would lose a lot of momentum. Su Su curled her lips into a smile, and her gentle voice rang in Hua Yin's ears,""If you really wanted to get rid of me, you definitely wouldn't have used such a despicable method. With your personality, you should have directly brought me to the Deliberation Platform and killed me with force.”
Hua Yin turned his head to avoid Su Su's voice and said in a contemptuous tone,""What is the Third Thought Platform? I've never paid any attention to that place that you all revere.”
Su Su sneered, and a look of abandonment flashed across her face.""That place is just to scare people. In my life, I will not kneel to heaven and earth, my parents, the righteous path, or the evil sect. I will not kneel to that broken platform that can trap people but not their hearts.”
"Third Sister!"
Leng Feiyu, who had suddenly appeared, scolded Su Su. She pulled Su Su over and sized her up with a dissatisfied expression,""It's fine if you think about it in your heart. If those people from the Dark Manor hear it, they will inevitably suffer!”
When Leng Feiyu said this, he glanced at Hua Yin unintentionally. Hua Yin snorted coldly and turned to leave, not looking at him again. To be fair, Su Su did not hate Leng Feiyu. Although she was Leng Feiyi's sister from the same mother, she did not inherit Leng Cangming's wickedness, Zhao Yizhu's jealousy, or Leng Feiyi's squeamishness. On the contrary, he was carefree and easy-going. He was the only person in the Shadow Villa who was pure in nature.
"It was my slip of the tongue just now that made Second Sister worry.”Su Su lowered her head slightly, her voice indifferent as if she did not realize her mistake at all.
Leng Feiyu didn't care about these things. She waved her hand, and her eyes, which were more heroic than ordinary women, carried a carefree smile."Actually, I don't like that Deliberation Platform either. I only said that because of that demoness.”
Su Su pursed her lips and smiled, her cold eyes filled with warmth.""Did Second Sister ever blame me for kidnapping Madam that night?”
Leng Feiyu did not expect Su Su to bring up the past. After a moment of shock, she smiled bitterly and said,""Anyone with a discerning eye can see which is right and which is wrong. If Mother and Father didn't force you to be so tight, with your indifferent personality, why would you do such an extreme move? In the end, they were too greedy.”
Pursing her lips slightly, Su Su lowered her eyes and looked at the blooming roses beside the winding path."Humans can't avoid greed. However, their biggest mistake was to use Ran to satisfy their greed. You know, even a dog would jump over a wall when it's anxious, let alone a human…"
Leng Feiyu was speechless as she looked at Su Su, who had walked past her. She actually wanted to get close to her sister, but she was helpless because she was Zhao Yizhu's daughter. Su Su would not acknowledge her as his sister just because of this. However, thinking about it, Su Su would usually answer her questions when she saw her. At least she had said something to her today, so she was more familiar with her. Thinking of the bitterness on Leng Feiyu's lips, she sighed and laughed self-deprecatingly.""We are sisters who grew up together, and it is only now that we have a familiar conversation. This is really…a cold manor raising a cold person.
The weather was good the day they left Shiying Mountain Villa. Su Su was sitting on a date red horse in white, and Pei Siyuan and Leng Feiyi were sitting in a carriage beside her. Because of the light, her expression could not be seen clearly. Lu Nong rode on a white horse and asked worriedly when she arrived in front of Su Su,""Young Lady, is it really safe to leave Fifth Young Lady alone in the manor?”
Glancing at the carriage behind him, Su Su said lightly,""Ran is in the Misty Forest. Although Fifth Aunt is sometimes abnormal, I have not completed what I promised her, so I will definitely not make things difficult for Ran. Moreover, Master is here, so I will definitely not let Ran suffer.”
Lu Nong nodded, but there was still some confusion in her eyes."Young Lady, why don't you directly send Fifth Young Lady to the Peach Crossing Garden where Madam Ye is? Wouldn't it be safer? After all, if a madman was in a state of confusion, why would he care so much?”
Shaking her head, Su Su smiled and glanced at Lu Nong,""Do you think Fifth Aunt is really crazy? Moreover, she asked me to do something related to Zhong Yuan's death back then. For Zhong Yuan's sake, she definitely won't touch Ran at all. Although the Peach Crossing Garden was his master's territory, it was still within Ming Village's boundaries. If Zhao Yizhu and Leng Ru wanted to enter, it would be very easy. The Misty Forest was the death guard of the Green Water Courtyard. The dark manor outside of the Ming Manor only listened to the people of the Green Water Courtyard. Now that there was no one else living in Green Water Courtyard, the Misty Forest was naturally under Fifth Aunt's command.”
