After walking for a while towards Huaiyue, he felt a chill on his back.

She hesitated for a moment and looked back.

Didn't see anything unusual.

There was no one behind.

Maybe she was overthinking it?

Just as Xiang Huaiyue turned back, Xie Wenzhou, who was hiding behind a tree, had a slight smile on his lips.

Night falls and the moon appears.

The courtyard nestled in the valley is different from the bustling and lively Shangjing. Apart from the occasional pink petals blown down by the breeze, there is no other movement.

After Xiang Huaiyue watered the camellia, she was placed in the most remote courtyard.

She stayed in the courtyard for two days and still hadn't waited for He Chaoye to come back.

Her master and Xie Wenzhou had no business looking for her, so she lived a relatively comfortable life.

On the third day, Xiang Huaiyue had just finished dinner and was not yet sleepy. He lay on the windowsill and looked up at the night sky.

The breeze blew gently, lifting a few strands of her black hair, outlining a perfect curve.

This scene is like a beautiful painting that makes people unforgettable at first sight.

Even Xie Wenzhou, who was not interested in women, was attracted by the scene before him and stopped.

He came to find her for something, but as soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw her looking up at the stars by the window.

The moonlight tonight is beautiful, shining lightly on her, as if coated with a layer of soft light, adding a touch of softness.

Xiang Huaiyue suddenly glanced over.

Their eyes met and the air was stagnant.

Xie Wenzhou picked up his pace and walked towards her again.

Xiang Huaiyue frowned calmly and put on a faint smile, "What's the matter with Master Xie that brings you here at this moment?"

Xie Wenzhou's expression was hard to discern, but his voice was as cold as winter. "If it weren't for something important, I wouldn't have come to see you."

Xiang Huaiyue lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a distant yet polite voice, "Thank you, Valley Master. I am already someone else's wife, and it is really inappropriate for me to be alone in a room with you."

"I'm standing outside the window right now, how can I be alone in a room?" Xie Wenzhou let out a chuckle. "Are you overthinking it, little princess?"

Why call her little princess again?

She really didn't like this name. If someone heard it, they would think they were flirting.

"I'm a little tired, so I won't chat with Valley Master Xie anymore." Xiang Huaiyue turned around, put away the support pole, and the window suddenly closed.

Xie Wenzhou didn't go into the house. He stood in the courtyard and said angrily, "I did come here to find you for something important. How much water did you give the camellias the past two days? They've all withered."

Xiang Huaiyue paused after hearing this, then put on his cloak and walked out of the house. "Why did they all wither? I only gave them a few spoonfuls of water."

Xie Wenzhou led Xiang Huaiyue to the front yard.

There was not a single complete camellia flower on the branch. The camellia flowers that were blooming brightly on the branches a few days ago withered and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye. The scene was somewhat tragic.

Seeing this scene and thinking about Xie Wenzhou's words, Xiang Huaiyue once suspected that it was his own fault that caused the camellia to wither.

Her heart was filled with bitter emotions, tears flashed in her eyes, and her voice choked, "How...how could it be like this?"

Xie Wenzhou stood under the bare branches, his eyes dark, "Looks like we can only replant them."

His eyes turned and fell on her, "When the camellia blooms, it will be the day you leave the Valley of Life and Death."

Xiang Huaiyue was still immersed in sadness and ignored his words.

Camellia also has another nickname, the broken-head flower.

Although she loved camellias before, she didn't dare to plant them.

Because she couldn't bear to watch the entire camellia wither, it was a shocking way to die.

Xie Wenzhou's voice came faintly, "Why? Little Princess, don't you want to replant the camellia?"

Xiang Huaiyue bit her lip and asked softly, "How long will it take to grow?"

For some reason, seeing her soft and tender appearance, he felt a little softer in his heart.

But Xie Wenzhou finally hardened his heart and said coldly, "Of course it will be three to five years."

Xiang Huaiyue's heart trembled, and she suddenly raised her eyes, "Why did it take so long?"

"It naturally takes that long from sowing to flowering." Xie Wenzhou raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you think it's easy for camellias all over the mountain to bloom?"

"Why do we need to replant? This camellia tree is still here. As long as we take good care of it, it will bloom next year." Xiang Huaiyue asked in confusion.

Xie Wenzhou said, "You've poured too much water on the tree. The roots have died. How will it bloom next year?"

Xiang Huaiyue walked forward without giving up, squatted down and looked at the tree roots.

The tree roots were black and even rotten, and the pungent and unpleasant smell went straight to Huaiyue's nose.

Her eyes went dark, her body went limp, and she fell backwards.

Just when she thought she was going to fall to the ground, her waist was suddenly grasped by a brute force.

Xie Wenzhou slightly retracted his strength, and Xiang Huaiyue was caught off guard and crashed into his arms.

The two of them were so close that there wasn't even a sliver of space between them.

Xiang Huaiyue's head suddenly exploded, the corners of her lips trembled slightly, and she put her hands on his chest and pushed him hard.

The old man saw this scene as soon as he arrived. His body trembled and his eyes almost fell to the ground.

This...what's going on?

How did Yueyatou get together with Azhou?

It's really immoral!

Xuan Mo, who followed closely behind, stood behind the old man, lowered his eyes and did not dare to peek.

The old man finally lost his patience and coughed lightly.

Xiang Huaiyue's face suddenly changed, and she struggled hard again, finally getting out of his arms.

"Why don't you say hello before coming?" Xie Wenzhou looked up at the old man with an indifferent expression, as if nothing had happened.

The old man's beard stood up in anger. "Are you blaming the master for disturbing you? Why are you learning something else instead of stealing someone else's bride? That's what I usually teach you."

"Isn't this what Master taught us by example?" Xie Wenzhou said in a sly tone.

The old man's face was gloomy. He pointed at Xie Wenzhou and was furious. "You..."

Xiang Huaiyue patted the old man's back and said with lowered eyes:

"Master, please don't get yourself hurt by being angry. Valley Master Xie and I have no personal feelings for each other. I almost fell just now, and he helped me up..."

The old man snorted coldly, "How can this be called support? He's already holding you in his arms!"

His anger was not directed at Xiang Huaiyue, but at Xie Wenzhou.

He even wanted to beat Xie Wenzhou up.

Xiang Huaiyue responded calmly, "It really was a misunderstanding just now."

The old man's expression didn't improve at all, and a hint of anger was visible between his brows. "You are not allowed to have any ideas about Yue girl again, otherwise I will no longer have you as my disciple!"

"How can a matter of love be decided by Master's few words?" Xie Wenzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and added, "Besides, nothing happened between me and the little princess. How can I allow you to accuse me for no reason?"

This was not the first time the old man had met Xie Wenzhou.

Even though he had seen Xie Wenzhou's eloquence before, he still got angry.

The old man frowned, his eyes becoming fierce and frightening, "It's best if nothing happens between you and her in the future!"

Xie Wenzhou raised his eyelids slightly and said coldly: "I am talking about the present, why are you talking about the future, Master?"

Xiang Huaiyue watched the master and disciple arguing, his head buzzing.

Why are they arguing more and more fiercely?

Seeing this, Xiang Huaiyue hurriedly said, "Master, didn't you tell us a few days ago to handle it ourselves?"

She just didn't want them to continue arguing, so she said this in a hurry without thinking much about it.

But in the old man's eyes, he thought she thought he was meddling in her affairs, or that she had no feelings for He Chaoye at all, and that she was showing signs of being with Xie Wenzhou.

But in Xie Wenzhou's eyes, she cared about him.

The anger between Xie Wenzhou's brows faded a lot, and his brows relaxed, "Little Princess, what you said makes sense."
