Female lead: No, it's me again??

The Bai family's status in Zhongzhou already attracted countless powerful individuals to join them, and the competition for the position of guest elder was fierce and bloody.

Bai Sinian merely smiled slightly at Bai Shuo's doubts, "Third Elder, she has a great secret."

"Oh? Where to start?"

Bai Sinian recalled his subconscious perception when he first approached that room, and a vortex appeared in his snow-white pupils. He said, "Third Elder, have you forgotten the inheritance I received?"

Actually, it wasn't just her; the seemingly spoiled woman beside her was also a secret.

He knew they were special even before he stepped inside.

It was a warning of danger that came from instinct.

However, for some reason, when he thought of those deliberately domineering eyes, he subconsciously didn't want more people to see her.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Shuo said, "It seems we need to investigate this Chu Han thoroughly."

It was nearly evening, about 20 miles from Fanhua Village.

"Isn't it called Flower Village? There isn't a single flower here!"

Xuan Li looked down, somewhat disappointed.

The most accurate description of this place is that it is deserted and uninhabited.

Within a radius of twenty miles, including Fanhua Village, yellow sand filled the sky.

Twenty miles away, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, without a trace of green life.

If it weren't for the information provided by Qiandao Pavilion, they would have thought they had gone to the wrong place.

"It's late August now, and even without flowers, it shouldn't be a scene like this."

Even as the seasons change, the plant will not be barren.

Fifteen minutes later, the two landed.

"Ouch, this ground is so cold!"

As soon as he landed, Xuan Li started hopping and skipping, refusing to put both feet on the ground at the same time.

She didn't understand why this seemingly dry soil gave her a feeling of touching ice.

Feng Siyue asked in confusion, "Ice?"

"Didn't you feel it?"

Feng Siyue shook her head. She bent down and grabbed a handful of yellow mud; the temperature was normal.

Seeing Xuan Li jumping up and down, she felt that Ah Li was not the kind of person who would joke for no reason. Could it only work on ordinary people?

Feng Siyue squatted down in front of Xuan Li. "Come up here first. It's a bit eerie here."

Without saying a word, Xuan Li threw himself onto her back, "My feet are freezing! Why is the ground in Fan Hua Village like a block of ice?"

"I don't know, let's go in and take a look."

Fan Hua Village is actually just an ordinary little village with stone walls, blue tiles, muddy roads, many fences between houses, and many withered flower branches.

"Oh my, you two young ladies are here to see the flowers again, aren't you?"

An elderly woman in hemp clothing, sitting in a rocking chair at the village entrance basking in the sun, greeted them with a smile as they approached.

Feng Siyue laughed and said, "Yes, old man, why can't we see a single flower in this Flower Village?"

"Oh dear, you're too late! The flowers in our Fan Hua Village bloom from February to July every year; they don't bloom at other times."

The old man looked regretful.

"Huh? But I heard from outside that the flowers in Prosperous Flower Village bloom all year round, don't they?"

Xuan Li poked his head out and asked curiously.

"Don't spread rumors. These heartless people always let you run around like this."

The old woman rolled her eyes, finished scolding the person, and looked at Xuan Li on Feng Siyue's back, saying, "Little girl, is your foot injured?"

"Yes, this is my sister. She twisted her ankle on the way here."

The old woman was horrified when she heard this.

She quickly stood up. "Oh dear, you've suffered, haven't you? Come with me, come with me, I have medicine at home!"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare trouble you, sir!"

Feng Siyue quickly shook her head and refused.

"Well, what's so troublesome about it?"

You've come all this way only to miss the blooming season; it's our fault for not taking good care of them. How could I, an old woman, bear it if you didn't come?

As she spoke, she ran over with quick steps, grabbed Feng Siyue's wrist, and pulled her inside.

Unable to refuse such hospitality, Feng Siyue, with Xuan Li on her back, could not very well refuse again. "Then I'll trouble you."

"It's not exactly troublesome."

Despite being over seventy years old, the elderly man in front of me walks with remarkable strength and speed.

Along the way, many people saw her leading two little girls and greeted them warmly.

"Grandma Flower, do we have a guest?"

"Really! You came to see the flowers but missed the blooming season, that's a real pity."

"Yes, please take good care of them. We'll go get back to work now."

"Go ahead!"

The atmosphere of simple and honest folk customs is palpable.

It made Feng Siyue feel very comfortable.

Granny Flower...

Feng Siyue remembered this name.

After passing seven houses in the village, the old man led them to a relatively clean tile-roofed house, pulled out stools for them to sit on, and said, "Wait here for me for a while, I'll go get the medicine."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked into another room that was covered by a cloth.

Seeing this, Xuan Li seized the opportunity to tug at Feng Siyue's sleeve, "Hey, hey, I didn't sprain my ankle. If she puts medicine on it for me later, won't that give me away?"

Feng Siyue gave her a reassuring look.

"It's okay, I'm here."

The next second, the old woman came out with an earthenware pot. "This is a medicine recipe passed down from my grandfather's generation. It's very effective in treating sprained ankles. Quickly take off your shoes and socks and I'll wipe it for you."

Feng Siyue quickly stood up, "Grandma, let me do it. My sister burned her foot when she was little, and she was very ashamed of it for a while, so..."
