Mo Ran pushed Bai Xuanzhi into the pavilion in the pond. The water level in the pond rose and the koi in the water floated on the surface and swam slowly.

The pavilion was completely surrounded by white gauze curtains, which fluttered gently in the breeze. Bai Xuanzhi's guqin had been placed in the pavilion.

Lu Suixin walked over and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Bai Xuanzhi smiled faintly and said, "If I hadn't gotten better, I wouldn't have been able to come out."

The air after the rain was mixed with the smell of soil. Occasionally, one or two chubby little birds landed on the branches not far from the pavilion in the pond, shook off the rain on the slender branches, and then flapped their wings, chirping a few times and flew away.

Bai Xuanzhi plucked the strings of the zither and said with a smile, "I haven't played the zither for a long time, so I'm a little rusty."

Lu Suixin was a little worried that Bai Xuanzhi couldn't see the music score. Bai Xuanzhi played a few times and found that the melody was from the score they had filled in. "A Sui, I have memorized the score a long time ago, so you don't have to worry."

"Mo Ran, I want to eat some cakes." Bai Xuanzhi ordered: "Go and get me some."

Mo Ran responded and left.

Only Bai Xuanzhi and Lu Suixin knew what this sentence meant. Lu Suixin took out the jade flute and sat next to Bai Xuanzhi.

Neither of them said anything, but they started playing together. The melodious sound of the piano mixed with the sound of the flute was so beautiful. Bai Xuanzhi, who had never made a mistake before, played a few wrong notes in the middle, but soon regained his composure.

Tick-tock, something seemed to fall along with the sound of the piano. The sound of the jade flute stopped, and Lu Suixin supported Bai Xuanzhi's shaky body, "Let's go back and rest first, and we'll play the rest next time."

Bai Xuanzhi held Lu Suixin's hand tightly this time. He smiled weakly, "A Sui, I'm fine. I want to finish playing this song. It will be my last wish."

Lu Suixin sighed, eyes full of heartache, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I'll accompany you."

Bai Xuanzhi no longer had the strength to pluck the zither. The sound of the zither became weaker and weaker, and in the end, only the sound of the flute completed the entire piece.

Bai Xuanzhi fell forward, and Lu Suixin quickly supported Bai Xuanzhi and let him lie in his arms so that he could feel more comfortable.

The blood from Bai Xuanzhi's mouth couldn't be stopped. With tears in his eyes, he said with a frown, "A Sui, I'm dying."

"You won't die." Lu Sui Xin comforted softly, "No, don't talk nonsense."

Bai Xuanzhi shook his head weakly: "Don't lie to me, I know everything. Ah Sui..."

Bai Xuanzhi coughed a few times, and the blood in his mouth splashed out, staining Bai Xuanzhi's favorite guqin. "If I don't say something now, I will never have the chance to say it again."

Bai Xuanzhi suddenly looked up, he opened his eyes wide, trying to see Lu Suixin clearly, but he could only see a vague outline, tears formed lines along the corners of his eyes, "Ah Sui, thank you for all the things you have done for me during this period of time... Ever since I fell off the horse, everyone has been holding me, as if I had no soul of my own, they were afraid that I would be broken. But Ah Sui, you are different..."

Bai Xuanzhi's voice was trembling: "You took me on horseback rides, and took me to the rooftop to drink and admire the moon. Only with you, I am a normal person. Ah Sui, thank you."

"You don't need to thank me." Lu Sui Xin's eyes gradually turned red: "You are my only friend in Yangzhou City, I will definitely treat you well."

"A Sui." Bai Xuanzhi's voice was full of attachment and reluctance. His hand gradually caressed Lu Suixin's cheek. "I want to remember what you look like, but I can't see it. I can only draw it with my fingers. A Sui, I like you... Can you... not reject me...?"

Lu Suixin tightly grasped Bai Xuanzhi's hand, his heart aching. He was powerless to stop the passing of life, and tried to make his tone sound normal, "How could I deserve to be liked by the most talented young man in Yangzhou City? Xuanzhi, I'm sorry I lied to you, my real name is Lu Suixin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Did you cry?" A drop of warm raindrops fell on Bai Xuanzhi's cheek, mixed with Bai Xuanzhi's own tears and flowed into his hair. "Don't cry, you have nothing to apologize for."

Bai Xuanzhi reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Lu Suixin's eyes. His fingertips were so warm and careful, as if he was afraid of hurting Lu Suixin.

"Lu Suixin." Bai Xuanzhi called out in a low voice, and then smiled: "A Sui, your name is so nice. A Sui, thank you... Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express the feelings hidden in my heart before I die..."

Bai Xuanzhi only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. He really wanted to see Lu Suixin again, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open his eyes.

"Xuanzhi!" Lu Suixin was stunned for a moment, then shouted to the person in his arms in panic, "Bai Xuanzhi, wake up!"

"Sir, there are only honey powder cakes in the kitchen." Mo Ran walked over with the freshly baked cakes.

Mo Ran opened the white gauze curtain and was immediately stunned by what he saw. The honey powder cake fell directly from his hand and broke into pieces on the ground. "Young Master, Young Master, what's wrong with you!" Mo Ran staggered over. He shook Bai Xuanzhi a few times, but seeing that Bai Xuanzhi didn't move at all, he said, "I'll go find a doctor!" After saying that, Mo Ran got up from the ground. As his legs were too weak, he repeated it several times before he stood up.

"Don't go." Lu Suixin's voice was extremely calm, "Xuanzhi is gone."

"Impossible!" Mo Ran roared, "How could the young master be gone! He is clearly in much better shape today, and he even said he wanted to come out and play the piano, how could he be gone! You lied to me, didn't you? Lu Sui, you must be lying to me."

"I didn't lie to you." Lu Suixin glanced at Bai Xuanzhi, who was in his arms, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can try to smell Bai Xuanzhi's breath."

The "woooo" sound spread in the pavilion, and Mo Ran couldn't stop crying.

Bai Xuanzhi never liked crowds, so his funeral was not grand, and only a few of his closest relatives attended. The lantern that Lu Suixin gave him was placed in Bai Xuanzhi's coffin along with the music score.

Lu Sui Xin had found all the second half of the Qiankun Shifting Technique. Lu Sui Xin did not disturb Madam Bai and Mr. Bai, but went to find Bai Xuan'an and told him that he was leaving.

Bai Xuanan was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said, "My brother likes you very much."

"I will come back to see him." Lu Sui Xin said.

Bai Xuanan: "Mr. Lu, please be careful on the road."

Lu Suixin nodded and said, "Yes, I will."

When Lu Sui Xin left, she did not tell Yu Shao Qing and the others. When Yu Shao Qing went to Lu Sui Xin's bedroom to look for Lu Sui Xin, he found that there was no trace of her in the room.

Yu Shaoqing quickly went to find Mo Ran and asked anxiously, "Where's Lu Sui?"

Mo Ran's eyes were still swollen. He sniffed and said, "Mr. Lu told the Second Young Master this morning that he was leaving."

"Lu Sui left?" Yu Shaoqing couldn't believe that Lu Suixin left without telling him. Why did she leave without telling him? Did she really think he was not important?

Yu Shaoqing returned to his courtyard in a state of despair. Chu Xian had recovered now. When he saw Yu Shaoqing coming back, he stepped forward and said, "Brother, Mr. Bai's funeral is over. It's time for us to set off back to Aoxue Villa."

Yu Shaoqing had completely forgotten that he had promised Chu Xian that he would return to Aoxue Villa when Chu Xian recovered. Yu Shaoqing stood there in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses, "Okay, let's go too."

Yu Shaoqing took Chu Xian out of Bai Mansion and headed towards Aoxue Villa.

"Young Master!"

Yu Shaoqing and Chu Xian were sitting at a wonton stall on the street, waiting for wontons, when they heard someone calling him.

"Dad!" Yu Shaoqing was a little surprised when he saw the person who called him. He didn't expect to meet Yu Yanhong here. "Why are you here?"

Yu Yanhong's injuries had not yet fully healed. He came over and sat on the bench, his face full of worry: "Shaoqing, I'm so glad that you and Xian are okay."

Yu Shaoqing asked someone to add another bowl of wontons and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Yanhong sighed heavily, "The reason why I came to Yangzhou City is that I know that the person who has been following you is actually the leader of the Ghost Shadow Sect, Lu Suixin."

Chu Xian listened and glanced at Yu Yanhong. Yu Yanhong actually knew that Lu Sui was the leader of the Ghost Shadow Sect.

"Lu Suixin?" Yu Shaoqing's eyes flashed with doubt, "I have never seen anyone named Lu Suixin around me in this period of time. Dad, did you remember it wrongly?"

“No doubt about it!” Yu Yanhong said anxiously, “Lu Sui is Lu Suixin.”

“How is this possible!” Yu Shaoqing’s eyebrows were almost twisted together, “Impossible dad, you must have made a mistake, how could Lu Sui be the Ghost Shadow Sect’s leader Lu Suixin.”

"If you don't believe me, come with me." Yu Yanhong stood up and found a nearby inn and booked a room. Yu Shaoqing and Chu Xian followed him in.

Yu Yanhong closed the doors and windows tightly, then took off his shirt. The mark of the Soul-Severing Palm on his chest was still vivid. Yu Yanhong placed the Seven-Star Life-Taking Needle on the table and said, "These were all caused by Lu Suixin. You are still young and may not understand, but I know that the devil has a red birthmark at the corner of his eye. I will not mistake him for someone else."

"Dad, could there be some misunderstanding?" Yu Shaoqing's heart trembled. He could not connect Lu Sui with the big devil. Or he subconsciously refused and resisted this fact.

Seeing that Yu Shaoqing still didn't believe it, Yu Yanhong said, "At the beginning, I knew that Lu Sui beside you was the leader of the Ghost Shadow Sect, Lu Suixin. I wanted to go to Bai Mansion to warn you, but Lu Suixin found me. I immediately escaped from Bai Mansion, but I didn't expect Lu Suixin to chase me all the way and treat me cruelly. Although he didn't take my life, he tortured me in every way. He used the Soul-Breaking Palm on me, and when he saw that I was not dead, he used the Seven-Star Life-Taking Needle on me. I have been hiding in Yangzhou City just to have a chance to meet you and tell you the truth."

Yu Shaoqing's clenched fists were shaking and he was on the verge of losing control.

Seeing Yu Shaoqing's struggling expression, Chu Xian whispered, "In fact, I already knew that Lu Sui is the leader of the Ghost Shadow Sect."

Hearing this, Yu Shaoqing immediately looked up at Chu Xian. Chu Xian shrank his neck and continued, "Brother, the night you went out with Lu Suixin, Lu Suixin came back and met a man in the woodshed. That man was called Si Dian."

Si Dian is the left guardian of the Ghost Shadow Sect, Yu Shaoqing knows this very well. Yu Shaoqing's chest rose and fell violently, "Go on."

Chu Xian seemed to have mustered up his courage and said, "I was really scared, so I didn't hear clearly what they said. I guess Lu Suixin kicked the thief towards me to silence me, but I survived."

"Why didn't you tell me at that time?!" Yu Shaoqing's expression was extremely serious, the most serious Chu Xian had ever seen. His brows were deep, revealing an even colder look.

Chu Xian was a little frightened by Yu Shaoqing's gloomy expression. He swallowed nervously and said, "I wanted to tell my senior brother at that time, but Lu Suixin said that if I told anyone, he would kill me. Senior brother, I don't know martial arts at all. If he really wants to do something to me, I will not be able to resist at all, so I didn't say it."
