The atmosphere in the small teahouse became tense. There were no loud chatters. Everyone was drinking tea. Under the guidance of the waiter, the Sect Leader Su found a table and sat down.

From time to time, the sounds of horses galloping could be heard incessantly. The group of people rushed towards the teahouse, but they did not stop. They directly went to Wu Shan, with Liu Feng in the lead wearing a grey robe. When Ni Fei saw all of this, he turned his head around to look at the green lotus that was still looking outside. At this time, the sun had already hung high in the sky for half a day and the amount of people who came gradually decreased. The people who drank tea in the teahouse had also left slowly towards Wu Mountain.

On the evening of the second day, most of the Witch Mountain guests had already rested because of the fatigue from traveling. Liu Feng's room was still lit up, so he lowered his head and sat at the table, writing something on a small piece of paper. After he had finished writing, he put the small slip of paper in his sleeve and then opened the door. He quietly stood at the entrance and looked at the crescent moon in the sky, the crescent moon's radiance filling the entire courtyard and also slightly illuminating Liu Feng's face. As he looked at the moon in the night sky, he would occasionally glance at his surroundings, it was obvious that he was waiting for someone. Immediately after that, a person walked over. Liu Feng took out the slip of paper from her sleeve and handed it to him. The two of them did not say anything. They only exchanged a glance before that person left.

Yueyue hung high in the sky in the dark sky, and the moonlight seeped through the leaves on the treetops and sprinkled on the ground. The night was as cool as water, and it was a beautiful scene to behold. Under the moonlight, the courtyard was very quiet. Occasionally, there would be the sound of fish flopping about in the pond.

"Mother." The voice of a panicking woman came from the room. At this moment, someone from the room next door, still lit up by the lamp, quickly came out and entered the room. The person holding the lamp was none other than Madam Shen.

"Bi Ru, Bi Ru, you had a nightmare again?" When the light came closer to the bed, Shen Bi Ru sat on the bed, her hands wrapped around her knees. Madam Shen placed the oil lamp on the lampstand. Shen Bi Ru immediately wrapped her arms around her mother's neck and hugged her tightly. She looked extremely frightened as she sobbed, "Mother, I dreamt of that great flood again. It has turned my heart upside down. and the pain that's churning up in my heart. "

"Don't worry, don't worry. The Heavenly Master said that you were short of water, so it's not strange that you dream of flooding." Lady Shen gently patted Shen Bi Ru's back, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"Yes." Mother, why aren't you asleep yet? " Shen Bi Ru asked when she saw that Madam Shen was still wearing the same pajamas as before.

"Your father is still worrying about tomorrow's selection. How can I sleep?" Madam Shen released her daughter's arms from her neck and said, "Quickly, go to sleep."

Lady Shen asked her daughter to lie down and cover her with a blanket before turning around with an oil lamp. Just as she was about to leave, Shen Bi Ru suddenly cried out, "Mother, I'll still dream about it."

"Quickly go to sleep, it's good that you've fallen asleep, Mother is right next door." Madam Shen comforted her very carefully. Within the bright yellow light, her eyes were filled with tears.

After saying that, Madam Shen closed the door and returned to her room. She blew out the oil lamp and walked over to Shen Yi, who was still busy working under the lamp.

"Bi Ru has nightmares again." While Shen Yi was reviewing the documents in his hands, he was also writing something down on a piece of paper.

"Yeah." Madam Shen added some snacks onto the plate. "Bi Ru really has a tough life." He couldn't help but let out a sigh, and the expression on his face became slightly sad.

"Yeah, I still can't get out of that nightmare." Then, Shen Yi sighed as well.

"How about I take her to the temple to burn some incense after the selection? I haven't been there for a long time."

"Mm, ask Guangren to accompany you two." "That's good too. Don't poke holes in this lie."

"Guangren can even hold his tongue. As a mother, do I have to be afraid of being unable to control it?" Madam Shen walked behind Shen Yi and placed her hands on his shoulders. "Do you think Bi Ru will blame us if she finds out one day?"

Shen Yi's hand that was holding the pen froze in midair for a moment. However, he did not say anything. His eyes were filled with an indescribable helplessness and heartache.

Madam Shen rubbed her eyes and said slowly, "Stop looking. It's already late at night. Look at your hair, it's getting whiter and whiter every month. You have worried a lot about this family. I'm really tired of you." She stroked his hair with her hand, and the sight of her husband and wife loving each other filled her mind.

"Everything will be fine at home and in peace!" I'll be ready soon, you go to bed first. " Shen Yi Quan gently patted the back of his hand that was resting on his wife's shoulder.
