Even if she didn't see him, Chu Qingyao could clearly feel his gaze. After observing for a while, he realized that the other party was hiding something from him. She took one last sip of the soup, "Ximen Mo, the food has been finished. If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it."

Hua Ximo's predicament must be related to him. But when she thought about it, she wondered if there was anything else in the world that had to do with her.

The Chu Clan had dispersed, and there was no one there for her to care about. Suddenly, she was shocked. She tried her best to calm down and laughed at herself. She wasn't that important in that man's heart. She had been gone for some time and he had not done anything.

"It's really nothing." Hua Ximo moved his eyes away and pretended that he was fine. He wanted to wait for her martial arts to reach large success. When that time came, no matter what she did, he would support her without hesitation.

Chu Qingyao stood up, and her gaze turned cold, "The only one who has anything to do with me is the Han Family. Tell me, what happened to the Han Family?"

"The Han Family is gone." Hua Ximo struggled to say these four words, as if his throat had been choked by someone.

Ever since Chu Qingyao had arrived, he had known that the Tianyu Capital City's Han Family was her kin. Therefore, when he passed by the Tian Qiong this time, he took a detour to the Han family to help her see if the old lady was safe.

When he arrived at the Han Residence, all he saw was a charred pile of broken wood and ruins. In order to find out what happened to the Han family, he specifically stayed there for three more days.

The information he had gathered was that the roasting king was blaming the Han Family for the disappearance of the Prince Zhi's Concubine. That very night, the Han Residence turned into ashes and completely disappeared into thin air.

Chu Qingyao felt as if she was struck by lightning, the color of her face instantly drained away. She tried her best to stand up straight, but she still miserably swayed a few times. She bit down on her lower lip and blood dripped down drop by drop.

The Han Family... Xuanyuan Zhi, how dare you...

"Elder sister, what's wrong?" Yan Er did not know about the relationship between the Han family and his elder sister.

"Qing Yao, I'm sorry, I was late." Hua Ximo looked at the woman's silent appearance in extreme pain and felt his heart clench. If he had gone a few days earlier, he might have been able to save the Han Family. Even if she couldn't save the entire manor, even if she could, she would still feel better.

I heard that the roasting king went out for a period of time and only returned to the capital a few days ago. However, he immediately attacked the Han Family upon his return, ordering them to hand over their wangfei within three days.

Chu Qingyao raised her head. Her face was ice-cold, but she forced out a smile, "Thank you for telling me this news." The Guwu Men was very far from the Han Family. If not for Hua Ximo, how would she have known about the Han Family's mishap?

She let go of Yan Er, "Yan Er, elder sister wants to sleep on her own tonight."

Yan Er wanted to say something, but when he saw his brother giving him a meaningful glance, he opened his mouth and sent his sister back to her room. When she heard about the relationship between the Han Family and her elder sister, she gritted her teeth in hatred. That roasting king was really too terrible.

Elder sister clearly didn't like him, but he still wanted to kill someone to make her stay!

Chu Qingyao leaned against the wall, her body powerlessly sliding down. She covered her face with her hands, suppressing her sorrow. Tears silently flowed down her face, unable to be stopped.

Xuanyuan Zhi, how can you be so heartless?

The Han family was the only warmth she had in this world, but it was ruthlessly destroyed by him. The scene of the two of them playing with the phoenix on the bed flashed before her eyes, and even her heart was bleeding. That night, how did she end up like that?

Xuanyuan Zhi, the Han Shang Shu is full of righteousness, how can you do that? Why are you so cruel?

She had already thought about it long ago. Once she had the martial arts to protect herself, she would leave Guwu Men and find a place to start a medical clinic. She would live her life peacefully. However, even this small wish of hers couldn't be fulfilled. Xuanyuan Zhi, I hate you.

Her tears flowed like a river that had burst its banks, the stifled crying sounds made Yan Er, who was outside, cry as well.

Hua Ximo looked at the door with pain in his heart, and helped Yan Er wipe away her tears, giving her a look so that she could go back. Yan Er was worried about her sister. She did not want to leave, but seeing her brother's sullen face, she could only leave obediently.

The worry in Hua Ximo's eyes was so obvious that he almost wanted to push open the door and enter the room to comfort the woman several times over. He pursed his lips, fury filling his eyes.

Chu Qingyao sat on the ground and cried until her throat was hoarse. In the end, not a single tear was left. She just sat there like a soulless doll.

When the light of the morning sun shone through the gap in the door, Hua Ximo's heart involuntarily ached as he pushed open the door. In a short night, the woman on the ground was drained of color. His face was as pale as snow, his eyes were as red and swollen as peaches, and his lips were cracked. This made him feel as if he was protecting his father.

This woman, he wanted to protect her under his own wings, and he would never let her cry again.

He reached out to help her up, "Qingyao, let me help you get to bed."

She pursed her lips, letting out a hoarse and unpleasant sound, "I want to return to Tian Qiong." She had to personally pay a visit to the Han Residence. Maybe Hua Ximo was just mistaken, the old lady was still standing there, waiting for her to visit. As for his aunt, uncle and cousin, they were definitely still alive. Hua Ximo must have seen wrongly.

Tears fell from the corner of his eyes and slid down her cheeks into the corner of her mouth. In a salty manner, Hua Ximo reached out his hand, wanting to help her wipe it. Feeling that it was unreasonable, he could only take it back.

"Pack up, I'll go with you." He let go of her and went out.

Chu Qingyao looked at herself in the mirror, feeling her heart bleeding. The fingernail in his hand fiercely pierced into the palm of his hand, where it had long since turned a dark red.

After quickly washing up, she casually brought along two sets of clothes and went outside.

Seeing her come out, Hua Ximo took out a mask as thin as a cicada's wing from his chest, "Put this on, then we'll go down the mountain." She took it and followed him into the house, afraid that she wouldn't be able to wear it on her own. "Let me help you. If you don't stick it well, it will be easy for others to find out."

Chu Qingyao sat down and closed her eyes at his reminder. She felt as if he had smeared something on her face, then something as thin as a weight stuck to her. Not long later, he said, "Alright, open your eyes and take a look."

Inside the copper field was a completely unfamiliar face, fair skin and a round face. She studied it for a long time before turning around and following Hua Ximo down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, two horses were already waiting. Her heart ached as she thought back to the time when she rode on the same horse as Xuanyuan Zhi. Taking a deep breath, he mounted his horse and said, "Let's go!"

As the two travelled, they couldn't help but wish that they could grow wings and fly directly to Tian Qiong. One evening, the two finally entered Tianyu Capital City.

The capital was no different from when she left, because the sky was about to turn dark soon. The vendors picked up their things and joked around as they went back. The smoke from the smoke rose up into the night sky, and as the sun set, nothing could be seen in the end.

The two chose an inn closer to the Han estate and stayed there until the moon rose.

Facing the scorched earth in front of her, Chu Qingyao kneeled down. She could no longer control her tears. The Han family had been destroyed because of her. She was a sinner, and she had let down her mother and even more so, had let down the madame. Closing his eyes, he could almost hear the old man's laughter.

She kowtowed three times in the direction of the main house. She had a lot of things she wanted to say to her ancestor, but she was too ashamed to. She even wanted to apologize with her death, but she couldn't. She had yet to avenge the Han Clan, so she had no right to die.

She knelt for an entire night, and when the people in the houses around started to clamor, Hua Ximo pulled her up. If she kneeled down again, her legs would be crippled. Chu Qingyao's legs had long since passed away, Hua Ximo carried her and left the Han Residence.

They stayed in the capital for another two days. No matter how they asked, the results were the same, everyone said that because of Prince Zhi's Concubine's disappearance, Xuanyuan Zhi was once angry at the Han Family. It was said that the fire burned for three days and three nights. The Han Residence, from its master to its servants, had all died in the fire.

"Xuanyuan Zhi, there will be a day when I will make you pay with your blood."

"I have already arranged for the manpower to attack as soon as roasting king leaves the capital." Hua Ximo's eyes were filled with worry. He didn't want her to live out her hatred, and he would take revenge for her.

What he had experienced, he had endured even if he didn't want her to.

Back then, when his mother was killed, not only did it cause Yan Er unerasable pain, it was also the same for him. He hated him for not being able to protect his mother.

Chu Qingyao's eyes gradually turned warm. His words moved her, but she still shook her head, "I must personally take revenge."

Originally, she had no grudges with Prince Zhi's Mansion. She had already harmed the Han Family and could not implicate him anymore. He was not alone, he still had Yan Er, and the young and old of Paleo-Wushan.

Hua Ximo was startled, "Why?"

The roasting king had a lot of power, but he, Hua Ximo, was not afraid. Even though it was a bit difficult to kill him, it was not impossible. Moreover, for a weak girl like her to want to kill roasting king, how long would it take for her to do so?

"Because only then can Grandmother rest in peace."

She walked forward a few blocks and stared at the Prince Zhi's Mansion from afar. From her pale lips, she spat out a few words, "Xuanyuan Zhi, don't die.

It was a soft mutter that sounded like the whispers of love, and also a confession between lovers. Only Hua Ximo, who was beside her, knew that she truly hated Xuanyuan Zhi to the bones.

She just wanted to kill him.

"Let's go to the Atractylodes chinensis Schneid, I'm afraid Qing Yi might be impulsive and throw his life away." After a long time, she finally spoke. Some grudges only needed to be etched into one's heart.

When they arrived at Atractylodes chinensis Schneid, the shop assistant brought them to the backyard using the excuse that they were going to buy accessories.

"Young Master Hua?" Qing Yi recognized Hua Ximo at first glance.

"Miss Qing Yi, who do you think is here?" Hua Ximo pointed to Chu Qingyao.

Qing Yi looked at Chu Qingyao, he did not recognize her, "Young Master Hua, I do not know her."

"Qing Yi." When Chu Qingyao shouted out these two words, her eyes had already turned red.

Qing Yi was stunned, this voice... This was the voice of his master. She quickly walked forward and asked uncertainly, "Are you the master?"
