  Wouldn’t she have come in vain if he wasn’t on the mountain?

  It would be a waste of time and energy.

  She hadn’t stopped walking since the morning. She didn’t know how many steps she had taken, but she felt that her legs were almost not hers. They were sore and swollen.

  It was the result of a lack of exercise after giving birth.

  She panted a few more times. Not only was she tired, but she was also hungry and thirsty.

  When she was climbing up the mountain, she met a few monkeys, and they took her backpack away. As it was already dark, they disappeared in the blink of an eye. She couldn’t catch up to them even if she wanted to.

  On the way up the mountain, she had challenged roughly four formations. Each one was harder than the last, and she almost lost her footing and died!

  When she found her Master, she would ask him why he had set up so many formations. It felt like he was tricking his disciple.

  While she was resting on the stone tablet, she looked ahead. There was a mountain gate less than five meters away. A marble staircase was beyond the mountain gate. After the entrance was a vast square that was several times larger than the area halfway up the mountain.

  Although it was not dawn yet, she could still see the general outline.

  Qin Shu rested for a while. She dragged her tired legs into the mountain gate and stepped on the marble staircase.

  The staircase was not long, only about twenty steps.

  When she reached the top of the mountain and stood at the highest point of Fengyue’s ancient city, she realized how big and majestic Qi Mountain was.

  Qin Shu stepped on the last step. The scene in front of her was roughly the same as imagined. In front of her was a vast square with two-meter-high walls.

  At the very front was an ancient-style house. The door was open, and red lanterns on both sides with a faint red glow.

  Looking at the front door, one could guess that this house was huge.

  “The door is open. Then, Master should still be living here, right?”


  She walked forward with confusion. It took her about five minutes to walk through the square. Just as she was about to reach the door, she caught sight of a white figure sitting on the right from the corner of her eye.

  She was afraid that the sky was dark and couldn’t see clearly. She deliberately stopped and turned to look. She saw an extended platform on the right side of the wall. There was a big table made of stone on the platform. A few stone benches surrounded the stone table.

  The white figure that she saw was not an illusion. Someone was sitting on the stone bench, not moving at all. Moreover, he was wearing white clothes that were a little long. When the night breeze blew, the sleeves of his clothes fluttered.

  On this silent night, it was inexplicably terrifying.

  Under the moonlight in the night sky, she could see that the person sitting there was a man. He was tall and slender, and his face was pale.

  Because of the distance, She could not see his facial features clearly.

  She glanced around. Other than the man sitting there, there was no one else.

  Was this a person or a ghost?

  One could not blame Qin Shu for thinking this way. She was reincarnated after death, so maybe ghosts really existed?

  After hesitating for a while, she walked over with her stiff legs.

  The closer she was, the clearer she could see.

  Under the moonlight, the man’s side profile was even fairer and more angular. With just one look, one could tell that he was handsome. In addition to his white clothes, his temperament was out of this world, giving him an otherworldly charm.

  She got closer and closer and was less than two meters away.

  Qin Shu’s footsteps slowed down again. Her gaze never left the man, wanting to see his face more clearly.

  “You’re here. You’re an hour late.”


  The man’s voice was clear and cold, just like him, clear and otherworldly.

  The man suddenly opened his mouth to speak. Before the silent dawn, he looked exceptionally cold.

  He was also a bit scary. Such was Qin Shu’s impression.

  She stopped and stared at the man in surprise. “You knew I would come? What do you mean by being an hour late?”


  The man did not answer her question. Instead, he said, “Sit down and eat something.”


  “Ah?” Qin Shu heard about the food and turned to look at the stone table in front of the man. She then realized that there were a few plates of food on it. Her attention was on the man earlier, so she automatically ignored the other things.

  When she saw the food, Qin Shu’s stomach growled unexpectedly.

  She looked at the man awkwardly, then looked at the stone bench opposite the man. After thinking for a while, she sat down on the stone bench opposite him.

  She raised her eyes and looked at the man’s face again. This time, she could see the man’s face more clearly than the side profile.

  When she saw the man’s face, she was momentarily stunned.

  She had thought that Fu Tingyu’s appearance was already handsome beyond compare.

  She had not expected the man in front of her to be even more exquisite than Fu Tingyu.

  He did not look old either. At most, he looked like a man in his thirties.

  She thought to herself, could he be their old Master?

  The man raised his eyes and looked at Qin Shu. His voice was clear and cold. “Aren’t you hungry?”


  Yes!

  She had been hungry for a long time.

  She was so hungry that her chest almost pressed against her back!

  She secretly swallowed her saliva and glanced at the food in front of her. She asked, “Did you cook all this?”


  The man replied, “Yes.”


  She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. The handsome man had a good temperament and good cooking skills.

  Suddenly, she thought of Fu Tingyu.

  He was also handsome and had a good temperament. His cooking skills were also superb.

  Qin Shu was really hungry. When she saw the tempting dishes in front of her, she still asked him uncertainly, “Really? Are these for me?”


  The man replied with a soft “Uh-huh.”


  After confirming that it was for her to eat, she picked up the chopsticks by the side and got a crystal dumpling. It was one of her favorite dishes.

  Perhaps she was hungry. She ate two crystal dumplings, a piece of sweet cake, and two soup dumplings in a row.

  The man stared at the way Qin Shu ate for a while. There was not much change in how she ate when she was young. She would not take it in two bites as long as she could swallow the whole thing.

  After looking at her for a while, he took the water beside him and hand to her. “Drink some water.”


  “Thank you.” Qin Shu thanked him. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she picked up the glass of water, brought it to her mouth, and drank a mouthful of water. It moistened her dry throat.

  With food in her stomach, she was not as hungry as before. She no longer eats in a hurry. She looked up at the man opposite her and asked, “Have you always lived here?”


  The man replied, “Yes.”


  Seeing him nod, Qin Shu hurriedly asked, “Then do you know my Master? Does he still live here? I’m looking for him. Not only me, but my junior brothers are also looking for him. Moreover, Fu Tingyu and Han Xiao were still trapped at the foot of the mountain for two days and nights. I wonder how they are doing now.”


  She was the first to enter the Sect. They came in later than her. It was true that they were her junior brothers.

  It was also what they had said!

  However, when she thought of Fu Tingyu and Han Xiao, she could not eat anymore, even if the food was delicious.

  She put down her chopsticks, picked up the cup, and drank two more mouthfuls of water.

  The man stared at Qin Shu for a while and only replied with three words, “I am.”
