I stopped beside Lu Zhaoyuan and sized up the woman in blue before asking Gu Mianmian,"How is he?"
" The poison isn't a big problem." Gu Mianmian paused and said," The injury is serious enough that I can't save him."”
I didn't answer. Instead, I asked,"Is everyone clean?"”
" Yes." Gu Mianmian smiled." Luo Hong Villa only has one lunatic in this generation. The others are all idiots."”
I kept staring at the blue-robed woman. As expected, I saw her expression freeze, so I pulled the thin drop of water in my hand and pointed it in front of her."Isn't there another one?"
The woman was startled, but she didn't show much fear. She just calmly looked at me and didn't say anything.
Lu Zhaoyuan was the one who was anxious. He could not even breathe properly and still managed to speak."Luoying! Don't-"
"Don't what?" I turned my head." How did Du Hong sneak into the Reverse Water Hall? His identity as Young Master Luo Hong isn't that difficult to investigate, right? How did you get poisoned? Who stole the fine water for Du Hong? Your life is on the line because of this woman. What else do you want?”
"What do you have to say?" I asked the woman in blue.”
" You're right." She met my gaze." If I die, no one will tell anyone about what happened today. Will you save Brother Lu?"”
" What are you talking about?" I raised an eyebrow." What right do you have to negotiate with him?"”
She glanced at Lu Zhaoyuan and smiled."Because I am the only person left in the Liu family. You destroyed Luo Hong Manor. If you don't kill me today, I will find you for revenge sooner or later.”
At this moment, I was slightly surprised. How was this a negotiation? He was clearly asking for death.
"Falling Shadow!" Lu Zhaoyuan grabbed the woman's arm and said to me intermittently," Don't touch her... She... is very far from you. In her lifetime... she won't be able to reach you."”
I frowned and didn't say anything, but Gu Mianmian interrupted,"At this point, how can the Reverse Water Hall show their face in the martial world if we leave them alive?”
Lu Zhaoyuan became even more anxious." As the hall master…I was biased…first and then I lost my sword. I should…die to atone for my sins…"
Coughing twice, his voice became weaker."Willing…to die under the fine water…to be known as all against the water. Just…don't touch her. She definitely…doesn't have the ability to seek revenge.”
For some reason, I suddenly thought of what Jing Yi said.
You already have such a big weakness, how can I dare to use you?
I think I understand a little.
After a moment of silence, I said," Zhaoyuan, you were biased first, and then you lost your sword. Although it can be salvaged, your reputation and prestige have been lost. It is not suitable for you to take charge of this hall. So from now on, I will temporarily take over the reverse water. Do you have any objections?”
"That's…that's how it should be."”
" Then, you've lost the right to give orders," I said calmly." How I deal with them, who I kill and who I let go, is my business.”
" If you use more strength, you will die even faster." I glanced at the woman in blue and looked at him, who was still in a hurry to say something." If you die, I will immediately send her to accompany you."”
After saying that, I turned around and said to Gong Huaiming and Gu Mianmian,"Please bear witness to the destruction of Luo Hong Manor against the current. If anyone outside can't stand it, you can come and seek revenge on me.”
This sentence made Lu Zhaoyuan no longer move. I sheathed the Xishui Hujian and set off to return to Qingcheng.
With such a big incident happening, I had to go back no matter what. On the way, Gu Mianmian kept asking me where I had been for the past six months. She said that Tang Jie, Lanshan, and Li Yuan were all very anxious. They had all been instructed to look for them, but there was no news at all. She sighed and admired how well I hid them.
I didn't say anything when I heard that. I just smiled and kept silent.
"Luoying, you've met someone you like, haven't you?" Gu Mianmian sighed.”
I finally tilted my head to look at her, which gave her some confidence.
" I always thought that you would get together with Li Yuan sooner or later." She sighed and continued," Although I don't like him very much, it seems that it's difficult to find someone who's worthy of you."”
I was slightly surprised and smiled bitterly. Little did I know that in another person's heart, I was not worthy of him.
He shook his head lightly." Everyone sees things like matching differently. Those who want to be together think that it doesn't matter. Those who don't want to be together will draw a gap between matching and not matching.”
Shen Lin had received the letter long ago. He was obviously a little excited when he saw me."Luoying, where have you been for so long?”
" Everyone asks me this question." I smiled." It's embarrassing that you can't find me, isn't it?”
"Luo Ying!" he frowned.
" Jingyi doesn't need me anymore, and Qingcheng doesn't need me much." I lowered my eyes and smiled." So I went to try another life, a life where I could calm down and think.”
After a pause, I placed the water in front of him."Zhaoyuan will step down. I'll leave the matter of choosing a new hall master to you.”
He ignored me and looked down at my hand.""Did the injury on your hand leave anything behind?”
" Yes." I showed him the back of my hand." Tang Jie's medicine is very good. It didn't even leave a scar."”
He nodded and was silent for a while." Actually, he didn't mean what happened that time."”
My calm eyes didn't even move."I know."
"You know about it?" He was very surprised.
"I just wanted to lure him here and see his reaction."”
"So what?" Shen Lin didn't mind that I kept it from him. Instead, he stared at me for a while and said," He wants to see you."”
Even after such a long time had passed, my heart still shrank when I heard these words. I took a deep breath and smiled."Didn't I say that Luo Ying won't appear in front of him again?”
"Why are you doing this?" He sighed." It was his idea to mobilize so many people to find you.”
"Are you trying to say that this is another compromise?”My smile faded." Shen Lin, you've seen what happened between us for many years. I thought that as long as I waited for him and worked hard, I would be able to win a position by his side sooner or later. I admit that I was wrong. He used his status to create a boundary. I couldn't cross it. No matter how many years I worked hard, I couldn't cross it. This isn't something that can disappear just because someone compromised."”
" Besides, this isn't a compromise. He wants to see me just to relieve some of his uneasiness." I forced a smile." Otherwise, he wouldn't even want me to look at him.”
Perhaps my words expressed too much sadness, but Shen Lin looked at me with heartache.""Luoying, you can't be destroyed like this.”
I lowered my head." Even if it's destroyed, it's my own choice. I can't blame anyone.”
"Sometimes, I think that if one day I really have an identity worthy of him and can stand by his side, will he find another excuse to push me away?”
I looked up at him. I still had a faint smile on my face." If possible, I'd like to give it a try.”

Capital City, Rong Cheng Residence.
It was a huge mansion that occupied a corner of the west side of the inner city where the officials and nobles lived, spanning two streets. In this mansion that had obviously exceeded the rules, there were two cabinet ministers who held great power, as well as the younger sister of the previous emperor, the eldest princess and the son-in-law of the previous dynasty. In front of these people, the rules were not worth mentioning.
Under the night sky, the lights were low, but the carved beams and painted buildings were not dim at all. It was like a heavy and fierce beast that kept a trace of its gaze on the dark red palace walls not far away.
It was an almost completely independent mansion that occupied more than half of the west side of the mansion. There was a gilded plaque at the door with the words "Imperial Edict". Usually, even the people of the Rong family were not allowed to enter. This was the residence of the Eldest Princess Jing Tang and the Prince Consort, Rong Chenghong.
It was almost dawn. Rong Chenghong had not slept all night in the study. He paced around until I stood silently behind him."Dad." Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 12PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
