Both worlds are like dreams

Nowadays, the wine sales of Fengchun Tavern are getting better and better, and many branches have been opened.

Luo Ning was good at business and opened a restaurant in the city without her having to show up.

The delicacies created by Xuehuang, such as hot pot and barbecue, are becoming more and more popular nowadays.

Everything is going in the right direction.

"If you need money, tell me. I don't have any use for the 100,000 taels of gold that Junior Master gave me. Just do whatever you want."

"If I give it to you, it's yours." Wei Yunzhou said lightly.

"I really don't need it, but you will definitely need it. Moreover, these 100,000 taels of gold are just a drop in the bucket for building a peaceful and prosperous world. You need sufficient silver and money to support you, and a continuous supply of silver and money."

"This money is your dowry. It can only be spent by you. You need to be careful about how you use it."

Xue Huang understood what he meant. From her perspective as the Princess of Dong Chu, this money could not be used casually to support Mo Ruilin in becoming the Crown Prince. Otherwise, it would be no different from forming a clique for personal gain.

But she was not in a hurry. In addition to the 100,000 taels of gold, she also had dozens of rare treasures piled up in the warehouse, which she could sell at will.

"By the way, has Second Uncle met the Murong Sect Master?"

"He likes you."

Xue Huang choked on her tea, "Ahem...Uncle, could you please not be so direct with your words?"

"He's too obvious."

"Anyway, he helped us a lot on our way back to Shangyang City. Second Uncle, please thank him for me."

Wei Yunzhou nodded, stood up and left.

These days, whenever he has time, he would come to Xuehuang's house to play chess with Mr. Guigu. When he is not around, Xuehuang and Rongyu have to take turns playing.

Occasionally, Xue Huang would practice martial arts with Rong Yu, and Mr. Guigu would give guidance.

He was very satisfied with Xue Huang's current level in the Mysterious Ice Curse, but he was also worried that Xue Huang would retaliate, so he tried every way to improve her martial arts so that she wouldn't have to fight desperately all the time.

"Very good. Now your left-hand sword has also reached its peak. One hand can kill seven enemies, the other can injure seven enemies. Combined with your Mysterious Ice Curse, your strength is now far superior to what it was before."

"It was my grandfather's advice."

"That requires you to have talent. Practice hard. Your achievements will definitely surpass everyone in Guigu."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I will try my best."

"Grandpa is getting old, and this Guigu will be handed over to you sooner or later. If there are children with good talents, you can consider taking them as disciples."

"Grandpa, you know that I am not interested in this. Only you can inherit the position of Guigu Valley Master."

"Rong Yu's character is indeed suitable for becoming the next Ghost Valley Master. But I also hope that one day you can go back. That is your home."

"Of course." Xue Huang smiled. "No matter what happens, Guigu is my home, and you will always be my grandfather, the best person in the world who treats me the best."

"You just know how to make me happy."

"Grandpa, when everything here is over, I will definitely go back. I promise."

"I see that you are in a much better mood recently. I hope you have really let it go."

Xue Huang didn't say anything.

"I won't bore you with big principles. After all, everyone living in this world has his own story. The ending is all in your hands."

"Grandpa, I understand what you mean, but what I want is perhaps just the end of cause and effect."

"The cycle of cause and effect is just the way it is in this world."

Xue Huang handed the brewed wine to Mr. Guigu, "Grandpa, try the newly brewed wine."

"After a few days, grandpa passed away."

Xue Huang was stunned, "Grandpa, why don't you stay a few more days?"

No one has disturbed them these days, and there are only people from Guigu in this mansion.

It’s just like the time they spent together among the mountains and rivers.

She really missed and was greedy for this short-lived warmth.

"I have to go eventually." Mr. Guigu said calmly. "Guigu's entry into the world will attract the attention of all countries. You guys can just let it go. I am an old man and I really don't want to bother with it anymore."

"Grandpa, I can't bear to leave you."

Mr. Guigu was naturally reluctant, but he did not show it. "Then finish what you need to do and go back early."

"Okay." Xue Huang agreed obediently.

"Rong Yu insisted on staying to help you, so you guys should support him well in the future."

"Let the uncle go back. He is a person as gentle as the wind and the moon. It is really not suitable for him to be involved in this."

"He did it for you." Mr. Guigu looked at her with a look of disappointment. "Sometimes I really doubt whether you have poor eyesight. The elder brothers and younger sisters in other sects are all good stories, but you are an exception."

Xue Huang was speechless, "Grandpa, I've told you many times that uncle is my uncle-in-law. Are you drunk again?"

"What uncle?" Mr. Guigu glared at her. "When you were little, you always called him brother. If he didn't want to make a difference between you and your second uncle, he wouldn't have been older."

"Grandpa, stop talking nonsense. Even if you're not my uncle, I still treat you as my brother. If you keep saying these nonsense, I won't pay attention to you."

"Okay, okay, take care of your own business. I don't care." Mr. Guigu waved his hand.

After confirming the day that Mr. Guigu would leave, Xue Huang wanted to buy some things for him.

But Mr. Guigu has always been free to come and go and never carries anything with him on the road, except for money of course.

Xue Huang had no choice but to write some wine-making recipes for him, and then agreed with Wei Yunzhou to send some of his grandfather's favorite things to Guigu regularly.

Because for a long time afterwards, Guiguzi was alone.

Mr. Guigu let her do what she wanted and went to the lake at the back door to drink and fish.

But in fact, he put the fishing rod there and just focused on drinking.

There was a chessboard on the table next to him, as if they were waiting for someone.

After a long time, a figure in red came from the lake on a bamboo raft.

"I've met senior."

The person who came was Mo Yunchen.

"You scared away my fish." said Mr. Guigu.

Mo Yunchen didn't say anything.

"Play chess with me."

"it is good."

The two sat down in front of the chessboard and began to play chess.

After placing dozens of pieces, Mr. Guigu said, "Your chess skills are not bad, but you are distracted."

"The seniors are very good at chess, and I am ashamed of myself for not being as good as them."

Mr. Guigu snorted coldly, "Are you thinking about the people in this yard?"

Mo Yunchen remained silent.

"I said, I, Guigu, do not recognize this marriage."

"But she admits it."

"Whether she really agrees to this marriage, you know better than anyone else."

Mo Yunchen paused while holding the chess piece. "Senior, you have been hostile to me from the beginning. Why is that?"

Mr. Guigu smiled calmly, "You are not qualified enough for me to be hostile to you."

"Senior, you are here because you guessed that I would come. So your purpose is not as simple as playing chess, right?"

"You are wrong." Mr. Guigu's moves were merciless and murderous. "It's just a game of chess. But you will definitely lose."

Mo Yunchen frowned slightly and clenched the chess piece in his hand. "Not necessarily."

"It's too late to be serious now." Mr. Guigu said meaningfully.

Mo Yunchen suddenly looked behind him and saw Xue Huang walking slowly towards him. His eyes deepened slightly, "How can you know how this game will turn out before the end, Senior?"

Xue Huang walked to the chessboard and said, "Grandpa, stop playing."

"Don't cause trouble."

"It's just a game of chess. What does it matter if you win or lose? Even if you win, you may not regret it. You are too persistent."

Mr. Guigu was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Girl, you are right. In this world, good and bad things are interdependent, it's just a matter of winning or losing. Being too obsessed is not a good thing."

"Then don't go down. Uncle has made fish soup. Let's go eat."

"No." Mr. Guigu said, "I must win this game."

Xue Huang was helpless, but fortunately Mo Yunchen’s chess skills were too poor and the winner was quickly decided.

"Are you happy? Can we eat now?"

Mr. Guigu stood up and asked, "Anything else besides fish soup?"

"Just go and take a look and you'll find out." Xue Huang said.

Seeing him leave, Xue Huang turned to look at Mo Yunchen, "I didn't bring any for you."

"Is it nice living here?"

"of course."

Mo Yunchen smiled and said, "You turned your back on me after getting the antidote from me. Only you dare to do that."

"I dare not. If you have any instructions, just tell me. But I guess you don't want to do something that will only make you bored."

"No orders, I just want to inform you of something."

"What's the matter?"
