While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

All the servants were fetching water to put out the fire. Qiu Tianming glanced around and called out loudly, "Ling'er? Where is Ling'er?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a servant replied, "Reporting to Master, we did not see Miss."

"Didn't you see it? Is it in the room?"

"nor!"

Autumn's voice sank into my heart.

Nangong Ling has disappeared at this time. Could she also be in the fire?

Thinking that his two children might be trapped in the fire, Qiu Tianming could no longer sit still.

He asked someone to bring him a wet cotton quilt, which Qiu Tianming draped over himself before rushing in to save people.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The raging flames, which were fierce and invincible just moments before, suddenly went out as if a mouse's head had been pressed back into its hole by a cat's paw, or as if the source of water had been cut off.

A raging fire was extinguished just like that!

This bizarre scene left everyone speechless with astonishment.

Qiu Ming was the first to react and rushed straight to Qiu Fengwu's residence.

The moment Qiu Tianming entered the courtyard, he was stunned.

Qiu Fengwu stood amidst the ruins, not only unharmed but also entering a wondrous state of ethereal enlightenment.

His hands were enveloped in two golden flames, yet he remained unharmed. With each swing and movement, it resembled the rudimentary form of a palm technique.

246 Nangong Ling burned the autumn phoenix tree, and the mighty axe cleaved through the golden armor.

"Success! Is this the 'Power of Zhurong' and the 'Dragon Saliva Palm'?"

In a hidden tunnel, Nangong Ling, dragging a wet quilt, saw this scene and immediately beamed with joy, her expression filled with indescribable smugness.

This fire was undoubtedly her doing.

Otherwise, with the defenses of Peacock Manor, even if a fire broke out accidentally, it wouldn't have been able to spread so fiercely all at once.

Her purpose was, as the diary had stated, to set Qiu Fengwu on fire to see if it would stimulate him to awaken the "power of Zhurong".

Of course, this move also comes with great risks. What if Qiu Fengwu doesn't awaken and is actually burned to death?

Therefore, Nangong Ling had to keep an eye on him the whole time.

This tunnel was dug by Qiu Fengwu when he was a child, so he could sneak out to play.

Nangong Ling was his childhood playmate, so he naturally knew.

It came in handy today.

So Nangong Ling prepared the rescue supplies and hid them in the tunnel, waiting to see if Qiu Fengwu could be reborn through the fire.

If she succeeds, great; if she fails, she can still rush out to save people in time.

Having witnessed Qiu Fengwu press down with both hands and immediately extinguish the fire, Nangong Ling knew that she had succeeded.

Moreover, Qiu Fengwu seems to have also mastered the "Dragon Saliva Palm" that Jiang Sishui mentioned!

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Nangong Ling did not go out to meet Qiu Tianming, but quietly retreated.

Doing good deeds anonymously will save you from getting scolded.

……

Jiang Sishui left Gao Li a jade pendant. With this, he could easily locate Gao Li's position using the "object-finding compass".

At the end of the grove of trees by the river, there is a small farmhouse.

A plaque hangs above the door, which reads:

Gao Zhai.

Jiang Sishui and Hou Jian arrived at the house and gently knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

A sweet female voice came from inside the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, a series of footsteps approached from afar.

The gate opened, and what came into view was a one-armed man who looked to be in his forties.

A one-armed giant blocked the doorway, like a small mountain, with a calm and indifferent demeanor, his cold eyes staring straight at the two people outside.

"Elephant, is there a guest? Please come in quickly."

The sweet female voice came from behind the one-armed giant. The giant remained silent but did not move aside. He looked at Jiang Sishui and Hou Jian with a questioning gaze.

Jiang Sishui wasn't in a hurry to enter the courtyard, but instead sized up the big man in front of her.

Because this man named "Elephant" is his target on this trip—Jin Kaijia!

Just then, a swordsman rushed out of the courtyard.

Upon seeing Jiang Sishui and Hou Jian, his pupils contracted: "It's you!"

The person who came was Gao Li.

Gao Li was in the backyard and didn't hear the knocking, but he clearly heard his girlfriend Shuangshuang say "Guest."

guest?

He had no friends or acquaintances, and none of the people who knew him knew that he lived here, so where would the guests come from?

Gao Li immediately thought of the Azure Dragon Society, so he grabbed his sword and rushed out.

Seeing Jiang Sishui and Hou Jian, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't the worst-case scenario.

But then his body tensed up again, and he looked at Jiang Sishui warily: "You came to see me?"

Jiang Sishui inexplicably gave him a jade pendant that day and then let him go. Gao Li had always had a knot in his heart, feeling that things were not so simple.

Sure enough, the other party somehow found their way to us!

So what are they here for?

Surely you're not just coming in as a guest for a cup of tea, are you?

Jiang Sishui smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to cause you trouble."

Are you looking for trouble?

Upon hearing this, Gao Li felt relieved.

I suppose such a person would not stoop to lying over such a trivial matter.

Gao Li immediately pulled the elephant aside and said respectfully, "Please come in, both of you."

Jiang Sishui didn't stand on ceremony and led Hou Jian into the courtyard.

As soon as they entered, the two saw a woman in white leaning against a doorpost, her head slightly tilted, as if listening to what was happening.

Her eyes were unfocused, her pupils were unfocused and lifeless; she was clearly blind.

She was fairly pretty, but a large, very noticeable red birthmark on the left side of her face greatly detracted from her beauty.

This blind girl, who wasn't particularly pretty, and could even be described as somewhat ugly, was none other than Shuangshuang, the girlfriend Gao Li was willing to do anything to protect...

Shuangshuang was kind-hearted, but she was blind and disfigured. Fortunately, God was not cruel to her and gave her Gao Li, who did not despise her and treated her like a treasure.

If Gao Li dies, her world will collapse.

On that day, Gao Li witnessed Jiang Sishui attack Ximen Yu and learned some secrets about the Rain Clan. However, Jiang Sishui did not kill him, partly because she felt compassion for him.

"Gao Li, is a guest here?" He stretched out his arms and groped his way forward.

Gao Li quickly stepped forward to help her up, hesitated for a moment, and said, "She is a guest."

Shuangshuang's face lit up with joy: "This is the first time we've had guests at our house! Gao Li, please invite them in and have a seat. I'll go cook some dishes for you."

Gao Li hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, as he did not want to leave Shuangshuang's side at this time.

Jiang Sishui said at the right moment, "No need to trouble Miss Shuangshuang. We are here to find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Shuangshuang asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"

Jiang Sishui glanced at the elephant chopping wood with an axe beside her, and instead of answering, asked, "Miss Shuangshuang, since you have poor eyesight, this brother must have taken care of you when Gao Li wasn't around, right?"

"Is the guest talking about elephants? Yes, Gao Li is often away on business, and elephants have helped me a lot."

"In that case, he's really good to you, even better than Gao Li."

"Uh..." Both of their smiles froze, unsure how to respond.

Gao Li's face also darkened.

Crackle!

The elephant chopped down on the wooden stake with an axe, then looked up at Jiang Sishui with a hostile gaze.

Jiang Sishui, also looking at the elephant, asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Gao Li is nice to you because you are his girlfriend. He is only doing what he should do."
