The wind, with its unique freshness and coolness of the mountains and forests, could not blow away the anxiety in her heart, leaving behind only the sound of horse hooves echoing in the valley and an unresolved heart.

Yunyun...Husband...please don't let anything happen to you...

No matter what happens to you, hold on.

I'm on my way to Liuyun Valley now. You must hold on and wait for me to rescue you!

Wang Xiyan's eyes were already bloodshot at this time. She had prepared for the worst, but as long as she didn't see her daughter and husband, she firmly believed that they must still be alive.

What's more, the Seventh Young Master is here.

Yes, she must believe them, she must believe them!

They will be fine, definitely.

The wind blew the fallen leaves wildly on the desolate ancient road.

Wang Xiyan gripped the reins tightly; the sound of horse hooves echoed in the silence, striking at her tense heartstrings.

Ahead, the outline of Liuyun Valley was faintly visible in the light of the setting sun. She was delighted, "Great! Liuyun Valley is ahead!"

After Wang Xiyan arrived at Liuyun Valley, when Xiao Yue heard that it was Wang Xiyan who came, he didn't care about the things at hand and hurried out to meet Wang Xiyan.

Xiao Yue strode towards Wang Xiyan. When Wang Xiyan saw Xiao Yue, she felt like she had seen a life-saving straw.

She stepped forward and held Xiao Yue's hand tightly, "Master Xiao! Please save my husband and my daughter!"

"I beg you."

Seeing Wang Xiyan's expression, Xiao Yue frowned slightly, "Madam Luo, don't be anxious. Tell me what happened first."

"What happened to them?"

Wang Xiyan clenched her hands, her eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness, "They went to Mishan."

"I heard that there are evil spirits lurking on the Mysterious Mountain, and now the fog on the Mysterious Mountain is spreading towards the villa below."

"If it spreads to the villa, those villagers will die."

"Mishan is a demon mountain. People from your Liuyun Valley have also gone to see it before."

"My husband, my daughter, and the Seventh Young Master are all in the Lost Mountain now."

"They went there yesterday and agreed with me that if they didn't come home in the afternoon, they would ask me to come and ask you for help."

"So I came."

"They didn't come home at the agreed time. They must have run into some trouble."

"Please, Sect Master Xiao, save them."

As she spoke, her voice began to sob and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would burst at any moment.

Xiao Yue frowned slightly, "Your husband, daughter, and the Seventh Young Master are also there?"

"Yunyun is there too?"

Wang Xiyan nodded, "Yes, the talismans on Yunyun and the Seventh Young Master can prevent them from being harmed by other evil spirits in the lost mountains and keep them from getting lost."

"But only Yunyun and the Seventh Young Master had the talisman, so Yunyun went with them."

When Xiao Yue knew that Luo Xueyun had also gone, he instantly felt relieved.

Since Luo Xueyun has gone, there is nothing to worry about.

They must be fine, they were probably delayed by something.

After all, Luo Xueyun didn't want to expose her true strength, so the reason they didn't come out for such a long time was probably because she was assisting them and allowing them to kill the ghost general without anyone knowing.

So it will take longer.

Bai Menghua, who was beside Xiao Yue, heard what Wang Xiyan said. She sighed softly and looked at Wang Xiyan with eyes full of heartache, "Madam Luo, there are ghost generals on the monster mountain of Mishan."

"They didn't come back at the agreed time... I'm afraid they are in danger."

"Besides, we don't have enough manpower in Liuyun Valley right now, and we can't deal with the Lost Mountain issue for the time being."

"To deal with the ghost general, we need at least forty high-level demon hunters."

"But right now, we don't have enough manpower."

"Even if we force ourselves to gather together, we can only gather about ten people at most."

"If we don't have enough people to fight against the ghost general, we can't deploy the formation. We will die if we go."

"Our demon exorcists will basically come back in three days."

"Until then..." Bai Menghua couldn't help but say the rest of the words. She sighed again, "You should just accept my condolences..."

Liu Qianyu also slowly said: "Yes, Madam Luo, please accept my condolences."

"I know this is a huge blow to you, but it has happened."

“You still have to look forward.”

"Alas, I didn't expect that the Seventh Young Master was also among them..."

"Such a powerful person is actually in Mishan..."

Liu Qianyu's face is full of disappointment now. When he met Shen Yelin and the others before, they were all fine.

It hasn't been long since...how did it turn out like this?

She walked tremblingly to Xiao Yue, stretched out her hand, and wanted to beg Xiao Yue to help him.

But now, she was so frightened that she didn't even have the strength to use it.

It began to drizzle, and the raindrops slid down her fingertips like beads that had broken off the string in her heart, dripping and beating out endless sorrow.

Xiao Yuegang hurriedly pulled them into the room.

"Go inside and tell them it's raining."

The flickering candlelight in the room illuminated Wang Xiyan's haggard and sad face.

Bai Menghua: "Madam Luo, if you feel depressed or bitter, just cry."

"It will feel better if you cry."

Liu Qianyu: "Madam Luo, I promise you that when we enter Liuyun Valley, as long as we can find their relics, I will definitely bring them out for you."

Xiao Yue frowned and turned to look at Liu Qianyu and Bai Menghua in disbelief.

Xiao Yue: “???” His eyes were now wide open.

When Wang Xiyan heard the time for mourning, she almost collapsed to the ground.

The whole person's mind went blank.

She stepped back repeatedly, and the luster in her eyes disappeared instantly.

Wang Xiyan clutched her clothes tightly with both hands, and because she was holding on too tightly, her fingertips turned white.

Holding her own collar was her only support at the moment.

Wang Xiyan's eyes turned red instantly, tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Her lips trembled slightly and her face was as pale as paper. The sounds around her seemed to fade away, leaving only her heavy and rapid breathing echoing in her ears.

The air around seemed to freeze, time became unusually slow at this moment, and every second was as painful as a knife.

No...no...they will be fine.

Certainly not.

When Wang Xiyan was about to reach out to Xiao Yue for help again, Xiao Yue suddenly said to Bai Menghua and Liu Qianyu: "What are you talking about?"

"What's the matter with condolences?"

"If you can't speak, don't speak!"

"No one thinks you are dumb!"

Bai Menghua and Liu Qianyu looked at each other in bewilderment.

They didn't know why their leader suddenly got so angry.

Bai Menghua looked at Liu Qianyu; she lowered her voice and whispered: "Did we...did we say something wrong just now?"

Liu Qianyu shook his head and lowered his voice: "I don't know."

"I was thinking, did we both say the right thing just now?"

Bai Menghua and Liu Qianyu looked at each other, both confused, and the atmosphere was frozen for a moment.

Inside the room, the candlelight flickered, making Xiao Yue's iron-blue face even gloomier, like the sky before a storm, depressing people to the point of feeling stuffy.

Bai Menghua swallowed his saliva, looked at him cautiously, and muttered to himself: Could it be that the leader thinks that we are too direct and impolite to Madam Luo?

Bai Menghua reached out and gently touched Liu Qianyu's arm, motioning him to come over. The next second, Xiao Yue slammed the table, shocking the two men. "What do I usually teach you?"

"Don't make decisions without confirmation!"

"What do you mean by condolences?"

"You really don't understand the Seventh Young Master at all!"

"I swear they're fine."

"They haven't returned home yet. I'm afraid they were delayed on the way."

"But he's definitely not dead!"

"Liu Qianyu, Bai Menghua, the two of you apologize to Madam Luo now!"

Bai Menghua and Liu Qianyu nodded, "Oh..."

But Liu Qianyu thought about it and felt something was wrong, "But Master, no matter how powerful the Seventh Young Master is, the opponent is a ghost general."

"If they go this time, they will surely die!"

"I don't want to go against my conscience and say these things."

Bai Menghua laughed: "Master, I don't want to go against my conscience and comfort people like this."

"That's the truth. You'd better not give her hope."

"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

Xiao Yue was almost pissed off by these two weirdos.

With Luo Xueyun in Mishan, who can hurt them?

Who in this world has greater power than Luo Xueyun?

Forget it, forget it. Xiao Yuenian didn’t want to bother with Bai Menghua and Liu Qianyu anymore since they didn’t know Luo Xueyun’s true strength.

Xiao Yue turned to look at Wang Xiyan, "Madam Luo..."

Wang Xiyan sighed lightly and interrupted Xiao Yue.

Wang Xiyan's gaze passed through the window lattice and fell on the lonely pear tree in the yard. The petals trembled in the wind, as if telling of endless sorrow.

She whispered in a low voice: "Master Xiao, look at the pear blossoms. They know that spring is short, but they still bloom with all their might, not for the result, but just for the splendor of that moment."

"Perhaps, giving people a glimmer of hope, even if the flowers eventually turn into mud, the warmth and courage they once had,

“It’s worth it.”

"I have already thought about the worst possible outcome."

"But until I saw their bodies, I would not have believed they were dead."

"My husband and daughter, they're going to be fine."

Xiao Yue, "Madam Luo, it doesn't mean they will be fine. They won't be in any trouble at all."

"With the Seventh Young Master here, the ghost generals are no problem."

"My two apprentices don't know the situation, so don't listen to their nonsense."

"If you don't believe me, I'll make a bet with you that you stay in Liuyun Valley."

"In less than half an hour, your daughter and her husband will come to Liuyun Valley to look for you."

Wang Xiyan knew that Xiao Yue would not lie, but she was also a little confused as to why Xiao Yue was so sure.

"Master Xiao, what is the strength of the Seventh Young Master?"

"Why are you so sure?"

Wang Xiyan could tell from Xiao Yue's expression that he was not comforting her but stating the facts.

Xiao Yue: "In short, as long as the Seventh Young Master is here, they will be fine."

In fact, the real situation should be that as long as Luo Xueyun is there, they will be safe.

But what can I do? I can’t tell you about Luo Xueyun’s affairs.

Fortunately, the Seventh Young Master is here and can be pulled out to serve as a shield.

Wang Xiyan nodded slightly, "I understand. I believe in you, Sect Master Xiao."

Xiao Yue: "Well, just trust me, and wait here."

"Don't worry, they will come to you soon."

Wang Xiyan: “Yeah.”

Then, Xiao Yue turned to look at Liu Qianyu and Bai Menghua, his eyes darkened, "You two, come out with me."

Liu Qianyu and Bai Menghua looked at each other again.

Bai Menghua: "Why do I have a bad feeling?"

Liu Qianyu: "Me too."

Bai Menghua: "Are we going to be scolded?"

Liu Qianyu nodded, "I think so."

Liu Qianyu and Bai Menghua followed Xiao Yue happily, and both of them walked with trepidation along the way.

They didn't dare to ask Xiao Yue where she was taking them.

Xiao Yue led Liu Qianyu and Bai Menghua to a quiet little house at the end of the corridor. They pushed open the door and the atmosphere in the house was particularly solemn under the dim light.

Bai Menghua whispered to Liu Qianyu: "Help, I feel like I'm about to suffocate because of the pressure on my breathing."

Liu Qianyu: "Me too..."

"I wouldn't have come to see you if I had known..."

Xiao Yue stood by the door, her back looked particularly tall, and her tone was filled with unquestionable majesty: "Come in and close the door."

Bai Menghua: "Yes..."

Liu Qianyu: "Yes..."

The way the two of them entered the room looked like they were going to die.

Liu Qianyu and Bai Menghua walked in nervously. The moment the door closed gently, it seemed to magnify the uneasiness in their hearts infinitely. The room was silent and they could only hear each other's rapid breathing.

Xiao Yue sat on a chair in the room, glancing at Bai Menghua and Liu Qianyu with sharp eyes.

Bai Menghua and Liu Qianyu were horrified by his look.

Liu Qianyu: "Master, Master...what can I do for you?"

Bai Menghua said: "Master, you know you are wrong. You won't say that next time."

Xiao Yue snorted coldly, "I've taught you before, don't speak carelessly without confirming the truth."

"You can easily provoke people into having problems like this!"

Bai Menghua: "But...but this is the situation in Mishan."

"Liu Qianyu and I are not talking nonsense..."

Xiao Yue: "As long as the Seventh Young Master is here, they will be fine."

"The power of the Seventh Young Master is very strong."

"It's a power you can't imagine."

Bai Menghua: "Master, you have always said that the Seventh Young Master is very powerful. What exactly is his strength?"

Liu Qianyu: "Master, I also want to ask."

Xiao Yue sighed, "The Seventh Young Master's power is far superior to mine. I can't say more about the rest."

"You will know the answers to your questions when the Seventh Young Master and his men arrive."
