"Forget it, there's no need to say anymore. Go back, there are still many beauties waiting for your favor in the palace." When Cen Xue thought of the woman he had recruited into the palace, her heart began to ache.

He really shouldn't have brought those girls into the palace, but he really didn't do anything that would let Cen Xue down. He quickly pulled her up and explained, "During the day, I was only playing with them, and the man I slept with at night, of course he wouldn't be alone. In this world, only you can make me react, do you understand what I mean?"

When Cen Xue heard his words, she calmed down a little. However, thinking back to her, it didn't matter if he had done it or not, she no longer had the qualifications to ask him about it.

She retreated from his embrace, and as if she had made some sort of decision, she immediately turned around and left. Helian Lie's heart skipped a beat, and he ran up to her and held her hand, saying sternly, "Gu Jue will not break your promise!"

"It's getting late, I really need to leave …" In response to his words, Cen Xue shook off his hand and after speaking a few words, she quickly got into the carriage.

"Let's go …" Cen Xue didn't want to hear anything from him, so she sat down and immediately urged the coachman to leave.

The horse carriage slowly moved forward. Cen Xue hid within the carriage and did not dare to look out of the window. Her heart was already dead, and she had forgotten their vow …

"Xue'er …" One cry after another, but could not call back the dead heart.

Helian Lie watched as the carriage gradually moved further and further away. He saw her leave him with his own eyes. Suddenly, he felt an excruciating pain in his chest. It was as if he was once familiar with this feeling, but it was also very strange.

Cen Xue sat alone in the carriage. Her eyes were filled with tears and her heart ached as if thousands of silver needles had pierced into her heart. It was so painful … So painful …

Tears moistened the veil covering her face, and crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks. If she could, she really wished that she could leave him like this. At least in his heart, he would forever remember that there was a beautiful girl called Lin Cen Xue living in his heart.

The carriage drove out of the Black Turtle Sect and stopped in front of a garden on the east side of the city. A middle-aged woman around the age of thirty stood in front of the gate, leading a few servants who had been waiting here for a long time.

Just as Cen Xue got off the carriage, Lan Qi'er could not help but call out, "Mistress …"

So it was Lan Qi'er. He hadn't been thinking about other things and had almost forgotten about her in the palace.

"Why did you run out as well?" Cen Xue thought that she should be in the palace.

"This servant has been pestering Eunuch Zhao everyday, begging him to let this servant come to your side. Yesterday, he came to find this servant and had her pack up before following Aunt Lan out of the palace to wait for you here." Lan Qi'er was determined to follow beside Cen Xue.

"Silly girl, you ate well and stayed well in the palace, why did you come out with me?" Cen Xue looked at her with a pained expression.

"No matter how good the palace is, there's no master here." As Lan Qi'er spoke, tears began to fall from the corners of her eyes.

Aunt Lan, who was standing to one side, saw the deep affection on their faces. She finally understood why Lan Qi'er was willing to follow Empress Snow to the end of his life.

"Empress, the wind is very strong outside. Let's go inside and talk." Aunt Blue stepped forward and helped her in.

Although it was not very large or luxurious, it gave her a very elegant feeling, and from the bottom of her heart, she liked it here. Lan Qi'er brought her around the garden, and in front was the pavilion, and behind was the inner hall, and the courtyard wasn't big, and Lan Qi'er looked inside it and saw a total of nine rooms, one of which had the best room by the window, which should be the master's bedroom, the other four rooms, and the other four were the servants' rooms.

After passing through the inner hall, they would arrive at the private courtyard at the back. There was a small bridge and flowing water here, as well as a fake mountain. There were a few plum trees planted in the garden, and they would blossom in a month or two.

"Mistress, are you tired? Why don't you take a break?" Lan Qi'er helped her sit on a stool under the Plum Blossom Tree, quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Cen Xue looked at the scene silently. It was a good life. This was the life she wanted now …

Helian Lie looked at her departing back, unable to find his original self. Ever since Cen Xue's accident, he had been clueless about what he was doing every day. What was he supposed to do? In his mind, in his heart, all that was on his mind was Cen Xue's shadow.

So as not to irritate her, he thought of a way to appease her for the time being, but as soon as she left, his soul seemed to have left with her.

Yuwen Tuo had never seen him like this before. When he came to the imperial study, he saw him sitting blankly on the dragon throne. Even when he was about to arrive in front of him, he didn't have a single reaction.

"Yuwen Tuo greets your majesty." Ever since the ruckus in Xiao Boyi's study, everyone seemed to have become unfamiliar with each other.

Hearing an unfamiliar voice, Helian Shi finally recovered from Cen Xue's world. Seeing Yuwen Tuo arrive, he sighed and said, "Tuo, sit down. Are you interested in having a drink with me?"

"Alright …" Yuwen Tuo knew that Ye Xiu definitely wanted to drink to his heart's content.

"The royal study is not a place to drink. Let's move somewhere else." Helian Zhang stood up and took the lead to walk out.

Yuwen Tuo followed behind him and arrived at Xing Qing Palace. Helian Lie drank large mouthfuls of wine, as if he wanted to use the alcohol to numb his yearning heart.

"Tuo, what methods do you think can help Cen Xue recover from her injuries?" Helian Shan asked as he drank his wine cup by cup.

"What did Dr. Kerser say?" Yuwen Tuo believed that there must be a way.

Helian Lie put down his wine cup and replied drunkenly, "Doctor Keser is very capable of dealing with complicated diseases, but this aspect is relatively weak. He has no idea how to deal with them, and says that Cen Xue's injury is so deep that one can see the bone.

"Let's go up the Everlasting Mountain. Perhaps Elder Mu Yue and Old mister Gui Gu Zi have a way?" Yuwen Tuo didn't know much. It was just the three of them.

"Sigh …" Tomorrow, the Azure Dragon and Black Turtle will set off and go up the Everlasting Mountain to invite Elder Mu Yue and Old mister Gui Gu to the palace to discuss it. " Helian Shan held onto his last glimmer of hope. If even they were helpless, he could only follow Cen Xue and cut his own face.

During the conversation, Helian Lie drank one cup after another. Even if Yuwen Tuo wanted to advise him, he couldn't.

Yuwen Tuo had Zhao Changde take good care of him. He left the palace during the night and returned to the general's mansion, calculating the date, the carrier pigeon should have flown to Red Mountain City by now. One of them had already fallen drunk due to guilt and regret, but he did not know how Helian Jue would react after seeing his letter.

Cen Xue, who was wearing the shawl that Ling'Er had personally sewn for her, laid on the windowsill. She no longer dared to look at herself in the mirror. There wasn't even a single copper mirror in the room because she didn't need it anymore.

The weather was getting colder and colder. Lan Qier said that it would snow in a month or so, but even if it did snow, Lou Lan's country would not be as cold as the eastern regions and the chances of snowing were very low.

Ye Zichen reached out his hand to caress his face under the veil, hoping that the nightmare would stay away from him …

It was already late in the night when Cen Xue closed the window. Just as she turned around and walked a few steps away from the window, she heard a thumping sound outside the window.

"Who is it? "Who's out there?" Cen Xue turned around and returned to the window. When she opened it, there was a man in black standing outside, using his eagle-like black eyes to stare at her.

"Ah …" Cen Xue was so scared that she retreated back, staring fearfully at the man outside the window.

The man nimbly jumped into the room. The candlelight in the room allowed Cen Xue to clearly see who it was. It was him? The man who had stopped her on the street that day?

"It's you. Why are you here? And why would he appear in my home? " Cen Xue looked at him in astonishment. Normally, she would be very scared, but now she was no longer the same person. Who would be interested in a woman who was so similar to a yaksha?

When the man approached her, Cen Xue retreated to the side of the table and watched him approach her step by step. She gritted her teeth and pulled down the veil covering her face, revealing her hideous face.

"Leave. The current me is no longer the me of the past. Look carefully at his face …" As Cen Xue spoke, her heart tightened and tears fell from her eyes.

The man looked at her face that was covered with interlaced wounds. Although her wounds had already healed, it was not difficult to see that the wounds were very deep. It could be seen how much pain she had suffered!

Cen Xue's eyes were red with tears. Seeing that he didn't show any signs of being scared, and even wanted to approach her, Cen Xue was confused. What did he want to do with this man? Wasn't he here to molest me?

"Right now, my face is covered with wounds. I am no longer that confident me from the past. Why haven't you left?" Cen Xue looked at him suspiciously. She couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.

The man carefully looked at her injured face without showing any signs of fear or disgust. Instead, he turned around and closed the window before returning to sit by her side and poured himself a cup of tea.

"You …" Cen Xue was still hesitating whether she should chase him away or not.

After the man drank a mouthful of hot tea, he raised his head to look at Cen Xue before answering, "I already knew about your accident. It was because of your injury that I came to find you and take you away."

His words stunned Cen Xue. How did he know that she was injured? Why did he specially come here to take her away? What did that mean?

The man looked at Cen Xue's shocked expression, smiled, and said, "My name is Teng Ge, I am the leader of a tribe." "The wounds on your face might be able to help you, but I dare not say that I can guarantee that you will recover 100% of your power, but if you can recover 70% or 80% of your power, you might have some hope. That depends on whether you're willing to leave with me."

Cen Xue quietly listened to his words. She, who had originally lost her confidence, now seemed to have found a spark of hope. Regardless if what he said was true or not, she was willing to give it a try.

"Big Brother Teng Ge, are you really willing to bring me out of here?" Cen Xue started to look at him nervously as she asked.
