A long white figure stood at the bow of the boat. He was dressed in a different kind of Hua Xia’s national costume. His clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look like an immortal.

  Although her facial features were not drawn yet, Qin Shu thought of her master. Both his temperament and clothes were compatible with her master.

  The ship was not far from the shore. There was a fence about half a meter high with a young girl standing next to it. Why was she called a young girl? It was because she was wearing clothes that only Miao Xin would wear. Judging from the patterns on the hem of her skirt, one could tell that she was the daughter of a noble family too.

  She knew a little about her master’s personality after spending more than three years with him. Unless there was an urgent matter, he would not stop halfway through the painting.

  Similarly, it was because there was an urgent matter that he did not finish the painting too.

  If she was not wrong, her master was in a hurry to take her mother away, which was why he did not continue painting.

  From this, it could be inferred that when she took her mother’s portrait to look for the master, the master knew that she was there, so he put down the unfinished painting and came to the mountainside to see her.

  After sending her away, he took her mother and ran away. Naturally, the painting didn’t continue.

  Qin Shu stared at the young girl on the shore. Her facial features were not painted, and her clothes were only painted with the hem of her skirt. Could this young girl be her mother?

  The two people in the painting, one standing at the bow of the boat and the other standing on the shore, looked at each other and fell in love at first sight?

  Could it be the scene where her mother and master first met?

  Qin Shu realized that her imagination was too rich, but from many details, she could see that her deduction was not unreasonable.

  Therefore, she had previously deduced that her mother had been with the master for more than two years. With her mother’s strong denial, it was very likely that her father was the master too.

  After seeing where her master lived, she walked out with doubt. She followed the Blonde Road and came to the back of the mountain owing.

  She saw the crooked-necked tree in front of her growing out from the crack in the mountain. After so many years, this crooked-necked tree had grown thicker and stronger. Its branches and leaves were luxuriant. It could be seen that it was living well without her.

  She jumped onto the crooked-necked tree, but the tree did not move at all. It was not like when she was a child. When she jumped up, it was shaking non-stop.

  She bent down and looked down at the sturdy tree. The rope lock that she tied was still there, but the one that she used to tie at the root was now several meters long.

  The rope lock that had been through wind and rain seemed to have been destroyed on the surface, but only she knew that the rope lock was still functional and strong.

  Back then, she had used this rope to sneak down to play with Chao Yan.

  She had stolen this rope lock from her master. She had accidentally overheard him talking about its material and strength. For the sake of her safety, she had stolen it.

  She took off the scarf around her neck and wrapped it around her hand. Then, she grabbed the rope lock and jumped down, her body falling rapidly.

  Even though she had not used it for many years, she still remembered how deep the cliff was. When she was about twenty meters away from the lake, she suddenly tightened her grip on the rope and began to slow down.

  Seeing the Long Bridge on the water not far away, she kicked hard at the wall of the mountain with the tip of her feet and flew quickly toward the long bridge. When she was close enough, she released the rope and landed accurately on the Long Bridge.

  There was a hexagonal pavilion by the side of the Long Bridge. The last time she and Chao Yan met was in that pavilion.

  She walked around Chao Yan Manor. Initially, there was no one in Chao Yan Manor. However, when she came last time, she could feel that someone was living there. Now, she could no longer have that feeling.

  She walked for a while and came to the door of Chao Yan’s room. After hesitating for a while, she pushed the door open and walked in. The room was no different from the outside. It was very quiet.

  The floor of the room was almost the same. She looked at the phone on the bedside table and walked over. She picked up the phone and found that it was covered in dust.

  The phone was turned off because it was out of battery.

  Did the dream that day happen, or was it just a dream?

  On the Qi Mountain, she didn’t find any information about her master, especially information that proved his identity.

  So, she planned to stay on the mountain for one night.

  She didn’t have to worry about food. The two men guarding the Qi Mountain said that they would prepare it for her.

  They were the ones who sent her lunch.

  Qin Shu looked at their backs as they left. They must be in contact with her master. It should be right to start with them.

  Bright Garden.

  Afternoon, five o’clock.

  Fu Tingyu rushed back from outside. As soon as he stepped into the living room, he saw Fu Beichen and Mu Shengwan sitting on the sofa in the living room, sipping tea as if they were waiting for him to come back.

  Xiao Jiu was playing with his sister-in-law, Nan Nan.

  Last night, he heard Xiao Jiu mention Fu Beichen. He couldn’t help but suspect that Fu Beichen’s sudden return was brought back by this br*t.

  “Father, mother, why didn’t you inform me beforehand that you were coming back so that I could pick you up?”


  Fu Beichen asked coldly, “I heard that you attacked Little Shu? Because of other women, you don’t want your wives anymore?”


  “That’s because……” Fu Tingyu wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by Fu Beichen. “I’m only asking you if there’s such a thing?”


  Fu Tingyu glanced at his son. Xiao Jiu was looking at him too. He understood that his son went to his grandfather to complain about his father. He could only answer, “Yes.”


  Mu Shengwan didn’t believe that her son would do such a thing. Now that she heard her son admit it himself, she was really angry.

  “How could you treat Xiao Shu like this? I thought you would be like your father. I didn’t expect you to make such a mistake. Xiao Shu must have suffered a great grievance to think of running away from home.”


  “No, mother. She didn’t run away.” Fu Tingyu turned his head to look at his son. In front of his parents, he still controlled his tone. “What did you tell Grandpa and Grandmother?”


  Xiao Jiu expressed his innocence. He said that his mother had left the house alone.

  If Fu Beichen hadn’t scared the two children, he would have been furious. “You even questioned Xiao Jiu. If you hadn’t done something wrong, would Xiao Shu have run away from home alone?”


  “Father, let me explain……”


  Before Fu Tingyu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fu Beichen coldly again. “Go face the wall and find out what you did wrong. Then go get Xiao Shu back and admit your mistake.”


  Mu Shengwan shrugged. ‘You’ve gone too far this time. I can’t help you.’.

  Fu Tingyu wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. “Yes, Father.”


  After saying that, he turned around and left the living room.

  He stood upright in the empty martial arts room. How many years had it been since he had faced the wall?

  It was probably because he could take charge of his affairs. When his father became the boss and brought his mother out to play, he did not care about him anymore.

  In a flash, his son was five years old. Time flew by.

  Nan Nan poked her head out from the side. Her palm-sized face was pink and tender. She called out in a childish voice, “Big Brother, I’m here to bring you food.”
