Zuixian Tower.

As Jiang Wantang got off the carriage, he looked up and saw a huge plaque hanging high in the center of the five-story restaurant. On it were three large gilded characters "Zuixianlou" engraved with powerful strokes, which sparkled brightly in the sunlight.

The restaurant has a magnificent exterior, with flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings. There are also two majestic stone lions in front of the door. Every detail reveals grandeur and luxury.

As soon as Jiang Wantang and Xiuzhu walked in, a waiter came over to greet them warmly.

At this time, Xiao Jingheng, who was sitting by the window in the private room on the fourth floor, recognized Jiang Wantang at a glance. She was wearing a veil hat and a light purple soft gauze skirt.

The usually calm and indifferent man was actually a little nervous at this moment.

He specially booked this private room today so that he could see her the first time she appeared.

As Jiang Wantang went up the stairs step by step, and was about to reach the third floor, Xiao Jingheng's nervousness became more and more obvious. He drank a large cup of herbal tea in one breath.

I was both excited and nervous.

Time passed little by little, but Jiang Wantang's pace turned on the third floor...

Seeing this, Xiao Jingheng suddenly stood up and walked out of the private room.

Then he watched Jiang Wantang, led by the waiter, walk to an ordinary private room on the third floor.

Obviously, she was not here to keep his appointment.

A beating heart gradually sinks.

In the private room on the third floor, Master Xingyun was wearing a moon-white robe with wide sleeves and his face was pale. He looked much thinner after not seeing him for a few days.

Seeing Jiang Wantang walk in, Xingyun immediately stood up to greet her.

After the two of them sat down, he personally poured a cup of tea for Jiang Wantang.

The latter smiled faintly: "Thank you!"

Xingyun paused while pouring tea, a smile forming on his lips: "I should be the one thanking Second Miss Jiang."

"If it weren't for you, my sister..."

As he spoke, Xingyun lowered his eyes to look at the black square box on the table beside him, his eyes lonely and gloomy.

He paused and said seriously: "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Jiang Wantang took a sip of tea and said softly, "I didn't help you."

"The deceased is gone, I hope Mr. Shen will mourn for him."

Jiang Wantang knew very well that in the face of life and death, no matter what words were spoken, they would seem pale and powerless.

And apart from saying a few words of comfort, she was powerless to do anything.

Xingyun said nothing, his expression gloomy with regret.

After a long while, he said, "I stole Qi Gui's body."

Jiang Wantang nodded, his expression calm.

She had guessed it as early as the moment Xie Zhiyan said that Qi Gui's body had disappeared.

"What are your plans next?" Jiang Wantang asked.

Xingyun raised his head and smiled at her, saying, "I invited Second Miss Jiang here today, firstly to express my gratitude, and secondly to say goodbye."

"I plan to take my sister's ashes back to my hometown and bury her with my parents."

"Then I'll apologize to them..."

"This is not your fault." Jiang Wantang consoled.

Ultimately, it's fate that plays tricks on us.

Xingyun smiled sadly: "I understand what you mean, Miss, but I just can't forgive myself."

Jiang Wantang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Sir, are you going to change back to Shen Changan's identity and start over?"

Xingyun shook his head: "No, there is no Shen Changan in this world anymore..."

"The former Shen Changan has passed away along with his sister Shen Changning."

"The only one alive now is Xunhuan Tower's top performer, Master Xingyun."

Jiang Wantang was stunned for a moment, then understood: "So, Master Xingyun will return to the capital and continue to be the top performer at Xunhuanlou?"

"Yes."

Xingyun spoke firmly, emphasizing each word.

"As long as the Qi family survives, this blood feud will remain unrevenged."

"I want to witness the day when the Qi family is completely defeated right here in the capital."

Xingyun's tone was cold and frosty, and his eyes were filled with deep hatred.

When loved ones are brutally murdered, no one can easily escape from the shadow of such a situation.

Jiang Wantang understood his mood and didn't say much.

She raised her teacup, her expression gentle and her words sincere: "The road ahead may be long and arduous, but if you keep walking you will reach your destination."

"Then I will serve tea instead of wine. I wish Master Xingyun a safe journey, and may you avenge your great hatred and have a bright future!"

Xingyun also raised his glass and said thank you, his tone was sincere and heartfelt.

When Jiang Wantang came out of the private room, she saw Xiao Jingheng standing at the third staircase.

The latter also looked up at her, his eyes slightly red, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes that was difficult to understand.

However, after just one glance, Jiang Wantang looked away.

She wore a veil and passed by him pretending to be a stranger.

"Tang'er..."

Xiao Jingheng stretched out his arm to block her way, his dark pupils were deep and bottomless.

Seeing that Jiang Wantang didn't respond, he called out softly, "Tang'er..."

His tone was extremely gentle, with a barely noticeable tremor and caution.

Jiang Wantang chuckled softly and said indifferently, "Young Master, I'm afraid you've recognized the wrong person. I have never seen you before."

"Please don't get entangled with me, sir."

How could I have recognized the wrong person?

Even if her figure turned into ash, he could recognize it.

Not to mention her voice.

Xiao Jingheng was slightly stunned, with a dark look in his eyes.

She really didn't remember him...

Xiao Jingheng opened his lips, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

He wanted to say, I am the big brother who gave you candy when you were a child.

He also wanted to say, I will be your future husband, the one who will spend the rest of my life with you...

But all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat when he saw the cold look in her eyes.

After Jiang Wantang said this, she found that Xiao Jingheng was still standing there motionless.

She looked over unhappily and met his misty eyes.

Xiao Jingheng's eyes were staring at him without blinking, with indescribable tenderness and a hint of sadness.

He looked at Jiang Wantang's face, which was so close yet so far away. His eyes were reddened, and a thousand words finally turned into one sentence: "Sorry!"

Then he lowered his arms and could only watch her leave.

He waited for her with great difficulty, but he didn't dare to say or do much, and could only watch from afar.

I was afraid that it would scare her.

At this moment, he just felt that they had a long time to go together and everything could be done slowly.

But what he didn't know was that no one in this world would wait for someone else forever.

Once you miss some people, they are gone forever.

In the carriage, Xiuzhu glanced at Jiang Wantang again and again, and finally couldn't help but say, "Miss, that strange young man has been secretly following us all the way."

Jiang Wantang kept her eyes closed, not even lifting them, and said in a calm tone, "It's okay."

"Let him be."

Even after they returned home, they could still feel the burning gaze hidden in the darkness.
