Fairy, dreams shouldn't be taken seriously.

To confirm whether this was a dream, Fan Zui looked around and kicked a stone on the ground.

It hit the old gatekeeper Wang right on the buttocks, instantly waking him up.

"Who! Who! Who!"

Upon seeing who it was, Old Man Wang yawned, seemingly exhausted from the previous night and extremely sleepy.

"Young Master Fan, it's you! How were you? Did you get tired last night at the Nine Phoenix Pavilion?"

As he spoke, his breath reeked of alcohol, which made Fan Zui quickly take a step back.

"Old Wang, you drank too much again last night, didn't you? Things have changed in Yangzhou, don't you know?"

"Change of weather? What change of weather? It didn't rain last night!"

The drunken old man looked around at the ground, which was all dry.

Then, while pulling up his pants, he said nonchalantly.

Seeing this, Fan Zui was speechless and really didn't know why the old lady would let such a person guard the gate.

Moreover, he was never shortchanged on his share of money during holidays and festivals.

The old lady had her reasons for doing things, so Fan Zui didn't press her for details.

Besides, to be honest, I'm the one who's just sitting around doing nothing and losing money.

After waking Old Wang and confirming that it wasn't a dream, Fan Zui headed towards the mansion.

However, I was even more confused.

It is truly strange that the Fan family mansion remained unscathed amidst such great turmoil.

Logically speaking, the Fan family is now gradually weakening and has too many enemies. Given the current turmoil, there should be many people who want to stab them in the back.

Why is it so calm?

Not right.

It's not right.

As soon as I entered the mansion, Ju Zi came running towards me, as if she had something urgent to attend to.

Actually, Fan Zui never quite understood Ju Zi's personality. She was clearly the pure and innocent type, without a trace of taint.

However, her clothing is mostly in a mature style.

For example, the neckline is very low.

Fan Zui stood atop the mountain more than once, overlooking the vast landscape and appreciating the beautiful scenery, lingering there, reluctant to leave.

What's even stranger is that Ju Zi wasn't completely unaware of his actions all along.

However, it seemed that while she was shy, she didn't intend to expose him.

Could this be the maid that the old lady prepared for herself to be a concubine in the future?

Sometimes, Fan Zui would think like this.

Ju Zi's face was fair and delicate, like the tender jade of a spring flower in full bloom, and every gesture she made exuded a gentle quality.

Today, she wore a light and elegant long dress with loose sleeves that exuded a faint fragrance of orchids, and her dress subtly revealed a girlish innocence.

Her bright eyes were as clear as water, and her pupils held a light that was a blend of gentleness and wisdom.

On ordinary days, Fan Zui had observed this girl from afar. She looked like a maid, but was actually more like the old lady's granddaughter. Her slightly upturned lips indicated that she had a simple and pure joy in her heart.

She walks with a light and graceful gait, like a deer dancing in the forest, possessing her own unique style and temperament.

She is always polite, giving people a gentle and innocent feeling.

The woman before me was both beautiful and charming, leaving a lovely and pure impression.

Her hair was long and smooth, reaching down to her waist.

Wait, long hair?

Fan Zui's eyes lit up.

Could she be the one who saved me?

Almost identical long, flowing hair, and equally shy.

Is it really her?

It seems that Ju Zi doesn't know how to cultivate herself, a fact that Fan Zui has always known.

However, it is not necessarily impossible to fake it.

Judging from his appearance, his cultivation level doesn't seem to be very high.

Also, the scent on her body was somewhat similar.

These three points alone match three of the characteristics of the orange.

After all, Fan Zui knew that although Ju Zi could not cultivate, she possessed many magical treasures bestowed upon her by the old lady.

A self-defense tool that ordinary people can also use.

Is it really her?

Fan Zui narrowed his eyes slightly. Should he find an opportunity to test her?

As she was leaving, a strand of hair from the mysterious, fragrant woman drifted down and landed on his face.

In a little while, I'll find an opportunity to pluck a handful from the top of the orange and take it back to compare.

"Young master, the old lady has returned. She brought back the Phoenix Rebirth Golden Pill for you, but she was seriously injured and is on the verge of death. She wants to see you."

Many people from the government have been sent out, but they haven't been able to find you, and they are all very anxious.

The old lady is in her room, you should go quickly.

As she spoke, Ju Zi's voice seemed to carry a hint of a sob.

That feeling of being suppressed to the extreme, reminding myself not to cry, but almost unable to hold back.

The orange is in its current state.

Upon hearing this, Fan Zui's expression suddenly changed, and he turned and ran.

At this point, nothing else matters.

What you were thinking about a second ago is now completely forgotten.

The old lady was seriously injured, hanging by a thread, on the verge of death. These simple words were like sharp flying swords, piercing his heart.

Running too fast, I tripped and fell, but I didn't care. I got up and continued running towards the backyard.

The old lady's courtyard was rather quiet.

Tranquil and beautiful, surrounded by all kinds of plants, from petals, green leaves, branches to roots, all appearing exceptionally graceful.

In fact, these are all kinds of elixirs.

It's simply because they might be beneficial to Fan Zui's meridians.

So the old lady planted it.

The path that encircles the flower bed connects every corner of the yard.

The rocks in the still pond are covered with green moss, the water is calm, and lotus flowers float in it.

Leisurely fish frolic in the water, and the colorful underwater world is like a dream.

Sunlight streamed through the lush green trees, like a light veil, gently falling on the lawn, creating a serene and beautiful scene.

This quiet courtyard gives people a pleasant and relaxing feeling, like a paradise, giving people a chance to unwind.

However, at this moment, Fan Zui was clearly not paying attention to any of this.

They ran all the way to the backyard and headed straight for the old lady's room.

He saw everything else, except for the people who came out of the old lady's room, whose faces seemed to be gloomy and sad.

This made his heart sink to the bottom instantly.

Chapter 24 [The Undying Phoenix's Rebirth and Golden Elixir]

In Fan Zui's memory, the old lady had a full head of silver hair and deep wrinkles, but the smile in her eyes always made people feel warm, as if they were basking in the warm sunshine.

Whenever she saw Fan Zui, the old lady always had a kind smile on her face, making people want to get close to her.

Although her eyes have been weathered by time, they remain clear and bright, as if they hold a hint of wisdom and intelligence.

Whenever Fan Zui spoke with her, her tone was always gentle and full of care, which remained fresh in his memory long afterward, like the love of a loving mother, inspiring gratitude and respect.

Several days later, when they saw the old lady again, she was lying in bed, on her deathbed.

The bright red blood gradually soaked through the bandages, emitting a strong, pungent smell.
