According to the guards, Feng Qingtan no longer teaches students.

The guard said that ever since the eldest daughter passed away, Mr. Feng had been very depressed for a while. He drank to drown his sorrows almost every day and spent more time drunk than sober. The little old man who was full of vigor and vitality in the past seemed to have aged many years in just a few months.

After saying this, the guard realized that the man in front of him also had a close relationship with the young lady, so he fell silent again and sighed for a long time, "Master Nanyin, you say, you say... How could such a good person just disappear like that..."

Nan Yin glanced at Yuan Ge and said nothing.

He didn't respond, so the guard didn't continue the topic. He just quietly led the way and sent people to the gate of Feng Qingtan's courtyard in the back mountain. Then he stopped and said, "Master Nanyin, you know the rules of Master Feng. I won't go in. The maids and followers you brought can wait here... If Master Feng is not inside, then he must be in the eldest lady's courtyard. You can go directly there."

"Okay." Xu Chengjin nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Xu Chengjin watched the guard leave, then turned to ask Yuan Ge, "Do you want to... go in directly or wait for me to give him some preparation before going in?" He was afraid that the old man couldn't bear the sudden change of joy and sorrow.

Yuan Ge looked at the familiar courtyard and the moon-shaped door. The furnishings were the same as before, but there was nothing in the medicine plaque. There was no more medicine fragrance in the air, but a faint smell of alcohol... In just a moment, Yuan Ge's eyes were red. Along the way, although Zhixuan Mountain was still the same, the green mountains and clear waters had not changed, but she didn't feel like "going home" at all. Only when she arrived here, when everything familiar was slowly unfolding in front of her with another kind of almost unfamiliar desolation and desolation, she realized belatedly that she was a little sad and uneasy.

"I..." She staggered forward, but suddenly stopped. The girl who used to be carefree now truly felt the difficulty of taking a step. She was looking forward to seeing her mentor soon, but she was also afraid to see him. She didn't know if this explanation of resurrection would be accepted, and whether she would be thrown out as a demon... Blowing her out would be better. If they just hung her up and burned her...

"I...or else, I, I..."

"Nan Yin?!" A familiar voice sounded behind him, "Why are you here?"

Yuan Ge was startled and turned around almost in slow motion. A few steps away stood her mentor Feng Qingtan. The old man seemed to have aged many years in an instant. His well-maintained black hair was now full of white hair. He hunched his back slightly, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, staring at Xu Chengjin with an incredible look on his face. Suddenly, he walked up to Xu Chengjin and hugged him, "It's really you... You didn't come back to see me for so many years, and I said you were heartless! Now... Did you come here because you heard about her? Nan Yin, that child, that child is gone... My little Ge'er, she's gone! Gone!"

With a trembling voice, the hands that were wrapped around Xu Chengjin beat his back, repeating every word with a tearful tone, "It's gone, it's gone..."

The tears in Yuan Ge's eyes suddenly burst out.

There is only one person in this world who always calls her "Xiao Ge'er".

He always said, "My little Ge'er is the smartest child in the world, a genius."

He always said, "My little Ge'er is the kindest child in the world. God will bless him with a long life. Those gossiping women are just jealous and have bad intentions. Little Ge'er must not believe their words and fall into their trap."

He has never married and has no children. His aunts always want to introduce the women of the clan to him, but he has never looked at any of them. He only said that he already has a beloved disciple and has nothing else to ask for in this life. He only hopes that he can pass on all his life's learning to his little Ge'er. As for having no one to rely on in his old age? His little Ge'er will naturally see him off to the end of his life.

But now...his beloved disciple, his most beloved little Ge'er...is gone!

"Teacher..." Xu Chengjin hugged Feng Qingtan back, unable to utter any words of comfort. He just patted her on the back gently and looked at Yuan Ge for help. He saw the little girl squatting down and hugging her knees, burying her head in her arms, her shoulders shaking, obviously crying.

Xu Chengjin stood there in shock, at a loss for a moment, his whole body stiff.

Feng Qingtan then noticed that there were other people present, a man and a woman standing side by side. The man was wearing a thin long gown. Although he was dressed like a scholar and had an elegant temperament, he was carrying a huge sword on his back. The woman was younger, with a high ponytail. She looked very heroic, and looked to be less than 20 years old. She stood there quietly, her eyes fixed on the other woman.

The woman squatted on the ground with her head buried. Somehow, Feng Qingtan's heart skipped a beat.

He stared at the girl closely, his slightly hunched body stiffened, and he kept twisting his neck to look back. He asked Xu Chengjin hesitantly, "Nan Yin, who is this..."

Xu Chengjin was also frightened by the sudden scene. He kept saying "she, she" for a long time and didn't know which identity of Yuan Ge he should introduce...

It was obvious that he was in a dilemma. Feng Qingtan looked at the two people suspiciously, frowning slightly. He had been misled. "Is this... your wife? Well, you have been gone for several years without any news. It seems that you are old enough to get married. I thought you would..."

Seeing that the topic was about to develop in an uncontrollable direction, Xu Chengjin hurriedly said to stop it, "No, no! Teacher, you misunderstood, she is..."

Xu Chengjin was in a state of panic, "You little bitch, just tell me!"

The girl was crying sadly, but he was still fierce. Feng Qingtan frowned and was about to scold her when he saw the girl slowly looking up at him.

The face was the size of a palm, and the eyes were very big. The pupils were as black as ink, and the eye sockets were red. It was obvious that he had been crying. The corners of his mouth were pouting, which made him look a little stubborn and aggrieved. Feng Qingtan was startled, "You..." Ge'er had been stubborn since he was a child, but he had a soft heart. In front of the sick Yuan Qi, he always tried his best to make him laugh, and then secretly found a corner to shed tears. He hid in the corner with his knees hugged, and even his pouting mouth was exactly the same.

Feng Qingtan trembled as he walked up to Yuan Ge. He bent over and grasped the hand Yuan Ge extended to him, staring closely at her face that somewhat resembled her beloved disciple. A sharp light shone through his slightly cloudy eyes, as if he wanted to pierce through the skin in front of him to see the true face behind... If I remember correctly, that child, that child's disguise skills were also amazing...

Feng Qingtan's hands were shaking. He lowered his voice and asked carefully, "Who... are you?"
