Return of the Phoenix Lady

Liu Hexian looked at the two pieces of paper with a complicated expression. After a while, he picked up the pen and signed his name with two strokes.

Seeing this, Huo Aoxuan's smile deepened. He pulled out a contract, chuckled, and put it away before saying, "Now everyone can rest assured. Uncle, do whatever you want! My father will definitely help you!"

"Okay! With the help of Aoxuan and you, I believe uncle will succeed! By the way, the snacks made by your aunt should be ready soon! Let's go over together!" Liu Hexian laughed loudly and put the contract in his arms.

"Well, uncle, please!" Huo Aoxuan stood up politely.

Then, there was a sound of footsteps and the two left the study.

Han Xing, who was hiding in the darkness, came out with a sneer on her pretty face. "Contract?" Humph~

Time passed quickly and we spent the afternoon leisurely. After dinner, everyone went back to their work and rested.

Han Xing avoided everyone's attention and quietly came to Lanxiangyuan, which had been abandoned for many years.

Standing at the gate of Lanxiang Courtyard, Han Xing looked at the locked door, feeling a surge of emotion. This was once her warm home, a paradise filled with laughter and joy, and the place where she, her mother, and Xiaojing had lived together. But now, the place was deserted, and everything had changed...

After easily climbing over the wall, I saw a desolate and deserted yard overgrown with weeds.

Looking at the weed-covered grass, my vision began to become blurry...

"Mommy! Mommy! Come and play with us!" The little baby smiled tenderly at the beauty who was smiling at her, with happiness shining in her eyes.

"Isn't it enough to have your Auntie Xiaojing accompany you?" The beauty looked at the cute little baby lovingly and said softly.

"Yes! Young master, you can't be too greedy!" The woman who was playing with the baby on the side smiled softly.

The little doll pouted in distress, lowering its head, wondering what was going on. After a while, it suddenly raised its delicate face, stretched out its legs, and ran towards the beauty. Seeing this, the beauty quickly squatted down, matching the doll's height, and gently hugged the rushing little body in her arms, whispering, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

The little baby took a deep breath in the loving embrace, then said seriously: "Xing'er will stay with mother forever!"

Upon hearing this, the beauty was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Silly child, what are you talking about? You must be hungry after playing for so long. Let me take you to eat some freshly made osmanthus cake!"

"Okay!" The little baby nodded obediently.

The beauty stood up, took the little baby's hand, and walked in with the woman beside her. As they walked, the little baby's tender voice was heard: "Mother and Aunt Jing will also stay with Xing'er forever!" "Okay!" "Okay!" The beauty and the woman said in unison.

The sound of laughter still lingered in my ears, and my hazy eyes gradually regained clarity. How long ago was that? I looked up at the starry sky. People say that when people die, they turn into stars in the sky. So, are my mother and Aunt Xiaojing also in heaven? After the haze in my eyes dissipated, I blinked lightly and then walked towards the familiar courtyard.

I went to my mother's room first. The thick dust and spider webs everywhere told me it had been years since anyone had been there. I couldn't help but feel a little angry. Looking at the familiar furnishings, I realized that now that the person was gone, everything was gone. Then I went to Xiaojing's room, which was also in a mess.

Finally, Han Xing came to his room. Unexpectedly, his room was very clean, spotless. It was obvious that the person who cleaned his room was very attentive.

Han Xing stroked the furnishings here gently, feeling nostalgic. He came to his bed and sat down. Suddenly, he felt a strange touch on his hand. When he took a look, Han Xing was shocked. He saw that the edge of the bed and the bedposts were full of words engraved, and the content contained only two words, "Xing'er!" Looking at the rather childish handwriting, could it be... Liu Hanyun?

Han Xing gently caressed these "stars." He wondered what kind of mood Liu Hanyun was in at the time, carving so many... despair? Sorrow? Yes! How could he, at such a young age, bear the loss of loved ones one after another?

"Brother Yun..." Han Xing couldn't help but murmur softly. At this moment, the tiles on the eaves made a slight sound. Han Xing immediately stood up alertly and chased after him. If it was Liu Hanyang, he would not be hiding outside and not coming in, so it must be someone else. However, he was really careless tonight. He didn't even notice someone approaching and was just immersed in his own thoughts.

Looking at the unfamiliar figure in front of him, Han Xing didn't want to hurt him for some reason, so he could only say coldly from behind: "Who are you? How dare you break into the Liu Mansion?" When did the Liu family's defense become so lax?

The shadow in front suddenly stopped and turned around. The masked man in black replied coldly, "When did the Liu Mansion produce a maid with superb skills?!"

Han Xing looked at those eyes and felt somewhat familiar, but his breath was strange.

"What is your purpose in coming here?" This person's cultivation level was not low, slightly lower than his own, and on par with Brother Yang. Judging from his voice, he seemed to be quite young, perhaps also a hidden genius.

"What is your purpose in entering that room?" the man asked instead of answering. Looking at the girl in front of him who was ordinary except for her cultivation, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"You speak first!"

"Just passing by." The man said suddenly.

“…What?” Han Xing widened his eyes and said in disbelief.

The man snorted coldly and asked, "What were you doing in the room just now?" Then he asked the question he wanted to ask most.

"What's it to you!" Han Xing replied coldly. Just as he was about to say something, the man suddenly said hurriedly, "We'll meet again!" Before Xinghan could react, he turned around and flew away.

Han Xing reacted immediately. Looking at the receding figure, a strange feeling came over her. She didn't rush to chase him. After all, he said they would meet again in the future! So she might as well wait. Hearing the familiar footsteps getting closer, Han Xing returned to her room and waited for Liu Hanyang.

Soon, Liu Hanyang appeared. As soon as he saw Han Xing, he asked about her well-being. Han Xing couldn't help but interrupt him and said, "Brother Yang, let's talk about business first!"

"Okay!" Liu Hanyang had no objection. Anyway, whatever Han Xing said was the final word.

"Today I discovered two secrets in Liu Hexian's study. One is that he hid an ancient book. The book said that the Mu Kingdom originally belonged to the Liu family, but the Mu family used a conspiracy to seize the Liu family's world. Therefore, Liu Hexian is secretly preparing to take back the world!"

"What? Is this true?! It's unbelievable!" Liu Hanyang said in disbelief.

"If Liu Hexian succeeds in usurping the throne, then Brother Yang will be the crown prince! And he will become the emperor in the future!" Han Xing couldn't help but teasing Liu Hanyang.

"No! I don't want it! It's enough for me to just be with Xing'er!" Unexpectedly, Liu Hanyang replied seriously.

Han Xing smiled softly: "Just kidding! Let's get back to the topic. The second secret is that Liu Hexian and Huo Aoxuan signed a contract today. The content is roughly that the Fire Nation will help Liu Hexian seize the throne, but I don't know what the conditions are."

"So what does Xing'er want me to do?"

"You go and find out which officials support him, and by the way, find out where he recruits soldiers, and then tell Ying Rui and the others, they will do the rest. As for stealing the contract, I'll do it!" Han Xing raised an evil smile, and a plan slowly formed in his mind.
