Seeing the solid sandalwood door in front of her, Han Liuyi hesitated and didn't dare to go in.

Lin Yue patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'll accompany you."

Han Liuyi nodded slightly, and the two of them pushed open the door and walked in together.

In the courtyard, there were many people wearing ethnic costumes. Some of them wore masks inlaid with silver ornaments on their faces, while others wore wide-legged bloomers, revealing their strong and muscular waists.

The courtyard is filled with a chilly autumn scene, with golden fallen leaves and the fragrance of tea.

Han Liuyi's father was sitting in the yard with another man, drinking tea and talking.

Han Liuyi stepped forward and said softly, "Daddy."

Old Han looked up at her and said in a gentle tone, "You're back? Is everything okay?"

Han Liuyi glanced at the man next to her. He was looking at her leisurely.

This man should be older than her father, but he is sturdy, has a brown beard, and has deep facial features, especially his eyes, which are green.

Han Liuyi was shocked: Could this man be Miao Xin's father? Although Miao Xin was thin, their facial features were very similar.

"Dad, let's go in and talk alone," she said.

Han Laodao: "What's wrong? We are all family."

Han Liuyi bit her lip and was about to speak when she heard the man next to her say, "Hey, since the girl said to go inside, let's go in." He looked back and exclaimed, "Where's my little son? Did he go out to play again?"

Old Han smiled and said, "Then please come in, Miao tribe leader."

Han Liuyi's heart skipped a beat. This man was the chief of the Xijiang tribe. If he knew that his son was dead...

Lin Yue seemed to sense her fear and held her hand to comfort her.

Han Liuyi glanced at him and tried to think positively. With his father still around, he shouldn't do anything to him, not to mention that Miao Xin was killed by Pei Xuanxi.

Entering the main hall, Han Liuyi fell to her knees. Old Han raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened?"

Han Liuyi cried, "Dad, the plan failed. I intercepted Pei Xuanxi's letter and followed him to wait for him to get the jade slip before attacking him. However, his martial arts were too powerful, and Miao Xin and I couldn't handle it. Miao Xin accidentally touched the trap, and now Pei Xuanxi's wife Xu Zheng has been poisoned."

Old Han's voice sank: "So, he got the jade slip?"

Han Liuyi nodded, her hands supporting the floor trembling slightly: "Not only that, Pei Xuanxi also... also..."

"What else?!"

Han Liuyi closed her eyes: "And killed Miao Xin!"

After these words were spoken, both of them looked grim.

"What?" Old Han stood up and glanced at Miao Zhuo's expression.

He exhaled calmly: "Pei Xuanxi, actually killed my son."

Han Laodao said: "Miao tribe leader, Pei Xuanxi is a very cunning man. He may not be able to defeat him head-on."

Miao Zhuo snorted coldly, stroking his face with his thick hands, and only raised his head after a while.

Seeing him walking towards her, Han Liuyi was ready, and Lin Yue next to her was also nervous, ready to stand in front of her at any time.

But Miao Zhuo just helped Han Liuyi up, his green eyes floating back and forth on her face, with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.

Han Liuyi's heart was beating very fast. She couldn't figure out what the man in front of her was thinking. His son died, but he didn't seem to be sad at all.

Miao Zhuo sighed, "Ah... I guess he was the one who encountered a trap and hurt Pei Xuanxi's wife, so he killed him. This is fate. Repaying a debt with a debt."

Han Liuyi's brows trembled, not understanding who he was trying to comfort.

Miao Zhuo patted her shoulder and said, "Go ahead."

Lin Yue hurriedly stepped forward and took Han Liuyi away. Old Han hurriedly said, "Miao tribe leader, Pei Xuanxi must not be let go!"

Miao Zhuo sat on the chair, propped his forehead with his hands, and looked at the ground: "We can't let him go."

He raised his eyes, and there was no sadness in those green eyes. Instead, they revealed a collecting and greedy look.

"Brother Han, my son is dead and I didn't get the jade slip. I am very sad."

Han Laodao: "Miao tribe leader, as long as you avenge your son, I believe he will rest in peace."

Miao Zhuo shook his head and smiled, making it hard to tell what he was thinking: "No, no, when a person dies, they turn into a wisp of smoke. It's useless to worry about them for a long time."

He stood up and raised his hand. Suddenly, a pearl flower appeared in his empty hand. It was the one he had just taken from Han Liuyi's head.

"I will avenge myself, but now I am deeply saddened. Only one person can help me."

Han Lao realized his thoughts and asked, "Who?"

"I like Liu Yi very much." He said with a smile, "Brother Han, don't be impatient, let's sit down and talk slowly."

After leaving the yard, Han Liuyi was still a little unsettled.

"Brother, has the Xijiang tribe leader always been like this?"

Lin Yue said, "It's true on weekdays." Seeing Han Liuyi still frowning, he comforted her, "Don't worry, Liuyi. You've been on the road all the time. Are you hungry?"

Han Liuyi nodded: "Yes, a little bit. I'll go get a makeover. Brother, please go shopping with me tomorrow."

Lin Yue felt sorry for her needing to be so cautious now, so he couldn't help but touch her face and said, "Okay, my Liu Yi looks good no matter what she looks like."

Han Liuyi finally smiled. She took the initiative to hold Lin Yue's hand, and the two of them entered Lin Yue's room.

After changing his appearance, Lin Yue took her out for dinner. It was already evening when they came back. Lin Yue talked to her about recent events, and Han Liuyi suddenly felt dazed.

Lin Yue was clearly right next to her, but why did she feel like he was getting further and further away?

"Senior brother, slow down." Han Liuyi said.

Lin Yue was stunned and touched her finger with his finger, "Am I not walking next to you?"

Han Liuyi was stunned and looked down. The two people's steps were almost the same.

"Oh, I just misread it."

Lin Yue smiled gently and touched her head: "What are you thinking about? Did you get drunk and confused?"

Han Liuyi didn't say anything. She looked at Lin Yue's profile and remembered that he was not like this before.

He used to be very high-spirited, talkative, and often joked with her. But after that incident, she used the Ecstasy Fragrance on Lin Yue, and Lin Yue was deeply affected by it, and his personality changed drastically.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that he has always liked himself.

A layer of mist appeared in Han Liuyi's eyes, and Lin Yue became more and more blurred in her eyes, and finally disappeared completely.

She was startled and shouted, "Brother!"

Lin Yue turned around and looked at her worriedly: "Liu Yi, are you feeling unwell?"

Han Liuyi hurriedly wiped away her tears. The person in front of her was indeed right in front of her, and she reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, it seemed as if the senior brother was about to disappear in front of her. He couldn't hear her call, and didn't even look at her.

-

When they returned to the yard, it was already 12:00. Lin Yue helped Han Liuyi tidy up the house and then sat down to play chess.

Under the bright candlelight, Han Liuyi's eyes flickered, and she frowned slightly as she observed the chess game carefully.

Lin Yue was absent-minded, looking at her curly eyelashes and her rosy cheeks.

Han Liuyi noticed that he was not concentrating and tapped the chessboard: "Brother, it's your turn, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Yue touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, can't I see my junior sister?"

He said this with such enthusiasm that Han Liuyi forgot to blink. Looking at his handsome face, it seemed as if her senior brother had returned to the time before he was poisoned by the love potion.

Lin Yue snapped his fingers at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Han Liuyi came back to her senses and shook her head silently.

Lin Yue smiled, stretched out his finger and made a move, and the door suddenly opened.

Old Han stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking uneasy.

Han Liuyi hurried forward and asked, "Dad, it's so late, why don't you rest?"

Old Han glanced at Lin Yue behind him and said, "It's getting late, Ah Yue, go back first. I have something to say to Liu Yi."

Lin Yue stood up, but he did not leave. Instead, he turned to the window and leaned over to eavesdrop.
