The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

At the entrance to Qingshuang Mountain, the ice crystals gradually dissipated.

The white-haired man also vanished into the world.

The plants that had been frozen were reduced to dust.

"Who is this person?"

Such power is comparable to the late-stage Golden Core realm in the Longevity Realm.

“That was my maternal grandfather.” Luo Jingqian’s voice trembled slightly. “My maternal grandfather forcibly used his spiritual power to condense a physical form and saved us.”

Han Cuiyin only knew that his maternal grandfather had gone to the far north to save him, and returned injured.

Unexpectedly, this person was recuperating in Qingshuang Mountain.

In the distance, Qingshan and Qinghe dealt with the twenty masked men and, protecting Granny Chu and the other two, headed straight for Qingshuang Mountain.

"Qinghe, take them to the other courtyard and prepare rooms. I'll deal with those people. Leaving them like this will attract wolves."

These people, without even looking, know who sent them.

The second branch of the Luo family still harbors treacherous intentions.

I only hope that when the Duke returns, he can avenge the young master.

However, it's difficult.

Both sides are equally precious to the old lady, and the second wife is still the apple of her eye.

Qingshan felt increasingly frustrated and thought it best to leave this place and return to Fuguang Mountain for a more carefree life.

They couldn't make decisions about their junior brother's affairs; the only thing they could do was protect him.

Qinghe, along with Granny Chu and the other two, joined Han Cuiyin and the others. "Young Master, are you alright?"

Although Luo Jingqian is his junior brother, he is the hope of Fuguang Mountain.

Because of the Longevity Diagram, many people on Mount Fuguang can draw Qi into their bodies, allowing them to take a different path from others in the Leaf Village.

His safety is of paramount importance.

If the sect were to learn of what happened today, I'm afraid some elders would want to leave the mountain and enter the world.

"It's alright, you'll be fine after a month of rest. Don't tell your master what happened today, just tell Qingshan. If you two don't want to be called back, you'll have to listen to me."

Luo Jingqian knew the nature of his two senior brothers very well.

The two of them may seem unreliable on the surface, but they are actually very obedient to their master.

If there's any disturbance here, his master will surely know.

Qinghe, usually so carefree, became very calm at this moment. "This matter is so serious, how can we not tell Master? These people used people of such high cultivation levels to assassinate you, what if—"

“Those three people weren’t after me.” Luo Jingqian glanced in Han Cuiyin’s direction. “Miss Yang is in more danger than me.”

"Miss Yang?" Qinghe couldn't understand it at all. "Sent by the Xu Prince's Mansion? They used three top experts just because Miss Yang's mother showed up?"

The affair between Han Zhen, Princess Mingxia, and Yan Shunhua had long been known throughout the capital, and had also reached Qinghe.

It's not surprising that Princess Mingxia was tempted to kill Yan Shunhua after she appeared at the Han residence yesterday.

Back then, Princess Mingxia was infatuated with Han Zhen. Despite the fact that he was already married, she used every means to become the matriarch of the Han family.

Now that the original wife has reappeared, it's no wonder that Princess Mingxia has gone mad.

Qinghe glanced at Han Cuiyin, took a few steps forward, and quickly pushed Han Zhen's wooden wheelchair to distance himself from them.

"Junior brother, why did you get involved with her? That person was so powerful today, we were no match for her."

"How about we find a place in Qingshuang Mountain for Miss Yang, somewhere far away from her?"

Luo Jingqian remained silent after hearing this.

Under the green bamboo umbrella, it is cool and refreshing.

Qinghe couldn't help but offer a few more words of advice, "Miss Yang is indeed quite beautiful, but she has a lot of troubles around her, so it's best to avoid getting involved with her."

After he finished speaking, he felt cold all over.

Looking down, I met those eyes, which were as cold as a deep pool.

"Senior Brother Qinghe, this is what I owe her. If I don't repay this debt, I will never be able to advance my cultivation in this lifetime."

When it comes to cultivation level, he certainly has Qinghe firmly under his control.

Everyone in their sect was hoping that Luo Jingqian would be promoted as soon as possible.

Qinghe had no choice but to go along with it, saying, "As long as Junior Brother understands."

Qingshuang Mountain splits into two peaks halfway up the mountain, where the cold pool is located.

Luo Jingqian's villa was also built here, very close to the cold pond.

From the outside, Qingshuang Mountain doesn't look very big, but inside it's a hidden paradise.

The two peaks almost encircle the area, and the situation inside cannot be clearly seen from the outside unless one goes inside.

Han Cuiyin insisted on staying here, not just because she suspected there was spiritual energy here.

In his previous life, Luo Jingqian settled in Qingshuang Mountain and rarely returned to his residence.

The women in the backyard gossiped behind his back, saying he was keeping a mistress in his villa on Qingshuang Mountain.

The concubines subtly urged her to come to Qingshuang Mountain and see what the situation was like there.

She was still somewhat naive back then, and she actually came.

However, she was invited back by Princess Changyun as soon as she entered the mountain.

Princess Changyun, with her straightforward temper, scolded her on the spot, saying that she was brainless and would become a scapegoat after being egged on by others.

She was confined to her home for a month because of this.

From the mountainside to the summit, Qingshuang Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.

Without entering this place, one cannot appreciate the wonders of the mountains.

"There's a natural formation here. Looks like I've gotten a great deal."

Han Cuiyin has always been frank.

Just now, Luo Jingqian's maternal grandfather saved her life, and last night Luo Jingqian also risked his life to save her.

So, in a way, she ended up being rescued more often.

"No! Miss Yang's jade pot is a treasure; I actually got a good deal."

The two of them started making excuses, and their relationship was much more harmonious than the day before.

Qinghe followed behind, slowing down. "Young Master, you take Miss Yang up the mountain first! I'll take care of Granny Chu and the others here, in case they get lost."

The two carriages they had been traveling in were now broken apart and scattered in the woods.

The horses were also startled and ran off somewhere.

As Grandma Chu was getting on in years, her knees ached a bit as she climbed the mountain, so she slowed down.

It was she who suggested that Qinghe protect them.

The two people in front of them were walking very fast.

The villa halfway up the mountain is already partially visible.

Han Cuiyin was very curious about Qingshuang Mountain, regardless of her past or present life.

"Young Master Luo, there are no houses built on the summit?"

Looking towards the summit, only the outline of the large tree on the left peak is clearly visible.

There don't seem to be any buildings up there.

"Qingshuang Mountain is cold and desolate. I only recuperate here in the villa. I only go up to the summit occasionally to enjoy the sunset and starlight. I don't go there often."

His maternal grandmother, Princess Jinghe, often came here for short stays. She once wanted to build him a residence on the two peaks, but he refused.

If I had known this would happen, I would have listened to my grandmother.

"I'd like to visit and express my gratitude to your maternal grandfather. Is that convenient for me?"

As they approached the halfway point of the mountain, Han Cuiyin asked a question.

That white-haired, icy man from earlier looked somewhat familiar.

She wanted to go and investigate.

"Of course! But the pool is icy cold, you—"

"No problem, I have a plan. Shall we go now?"

Luo Jingqian readily agreed, "I was just about to go see how my maternal grandfather is doing, so let's go together."

The two sped up considerably, leaving the people behind them far behind.

When we arrived at the cold pool, the surrounding area became cool.

Qingshuang Mountain doesn't look very big from the outside, but in reality, it is surrounded by two peaks that enclose the cold pool halfway up the mountain.

Luo Jingqian took off his mask; the pustules on his face had only subsided somewhat.

"Miss Yang, can you... withstand this icy cold?"

Han Cuiyin first touched the water surface with her hand, then slowly immersed one hand in the water. "It is indeed very cold, but I have a way to deal with it."

She took the small yellow ball hanging from her waist, grabbed Luo Jingqian's sleeve, and said, "Let's go!"

The little yellow ball transforms into a wooden fish upon entering the water, forming a barrier that can only accommodate two people.

Their sleeves touched, and Luo Jingqian's face grew increasingly red.

"Young Master Luo, is it because I isolated you from the pool water that the stains on your face are harder to remove? Your face is getting redder and redder, perhaps—"

"It's alright. I was just worried about my grandfather. Let's continue diving."

Luo Jingqian pointed out the direction, and they descended about 100 meters before reaching their destination.

"I didn't realize how deep it was halfway up the mountain. I didn't know it was so deep."

Han Cuiyin couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

This place is really nice.

The scenery will be even better after those ancient lotus seeds are scattered.

"That is where my maternal grandfather recuperated."

An ice coffin stood ten meters ahead; even before we got close, we could feel the chill.
