My cell phone vibrated in my pocket as the north wind whistled.

I forced myself not to make any unnecessary movements, not to mess around.

I tried to comfort myself with the thought that the phone's vibrations could be ignored in such a situation. Actually, Qi Xiaoxian's stepmother had not heard any extra sounds, and everything was just a coincidence.

After a long time, I didn't see anyone coming from behind the big rock where I was hiding.

My eyesight was astonishing, but my hearing was mediocre. All I could hear were the sounds of the north wind, and I couldn't hear any other sounds, so I wasn't sure if the stepmother had left or not.

I suppressed my emotions and waited for a while before I went to see if the stepmother had left.

I could not see a single soul as far as I could see. The stepmother of Qi Xiaohan had already left with her people.

I quickly took out my phone and saw that it was already 12: 30 in the afternoon. The missed calls were all from the Aunt Zhang.

I stretched out in the snow and sent a message back to the Aunt Zhang, telling her that I had come back to the kickboxing class after leaving home in the morning.

I used to take a month off to go to the Sanda class to get fit. I know there are three Sanda classes in that area.

Aunt Zhang only knows the general location of the Rogue Class, she doesn't know where I am nor do she have the phone number to contact the Rogue Class.

It was also about half past twelve in the morning, and I wasn't worried that my lie would be exposed.

The Aunt Zhang replied to remind me, that the next time I had the thought of telling her, I would definitely tell her. After stuffing my phone into my pocket, I quickly left the attraction.

On the way, I communicated with Qi Xiaoshan and told him that I was on my way back to ask him about his stepmother's hearing.

Qi Xiaohan said it was fortunate that I was fine, and then after telling me that his stepmother's hearing was mediocre, he asked me why I had such a question.

Qi Xiaoshan's answer reassured me, and I told him of what I had just experienced.

The ringing sound of Bei Feng's mobile phone was truly negligible.

As a precaution, I had been watching for a taxi on the tail all the way, but I hadn't noticed anything else.

After I got off at the school gate, I took a quick bite at the restaurant in front of the school and headed straight for the classroom.

In the afternoon, after school, I communicated with Wei Xiao Han and asked him how he planned to exchange his brother's Life Plate for his Life Plate.

Qi Xiaohan mentioned psychological tactics, so I could just wait quietly for his news.

Because of what happened to Ruan Tianye last night and how he was frightened by the scenery during the day, I stayed at home and didn't go back to the Taekwondo class after dinner.

The Aunt Zhang asked me why I wasn't going to the Taekwondo class. I told her with pen and paper that I had accidentally injured my muscles during the scatterer class in the morning.

Aunt Zhang shook her head. She was too careless and told me that Aunt Tao and Yu Kexin were on the plane tomorrow afternoon.

Just as Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she received a message.

The Aunt Tao told me about her flight tomorrow afternoon and asked me what kind of New Year's gift she wanted her to bring me.

I replied back to Aunt Tao, telling her to pay more attention to rest when her body is free, I don't lack anything.

Aunt Tao replied that I was a caring little cotton-padded jacket, and smiled faintly as she replied that she was actually an army coat.

When Aunt Tao and I were exchanging messages, Aunt Zhang placed a cheque worth four hundred thousand on the table in front of me.

I looked at Aunt Zhang, who thanked me for saving her first, then mentioned what she had promised before, that she would return the money I had borrowed back to me within a week.

Aunt Zhang said with a relieved expression. She was in a hurry to pay back the money that she borrowed from me before Aunt Tao and Yu Kexin returned.

I had promised Aunt Tao that I would not tell her to busy herself with private matters, and naturally, I would not mention the matter of the money in front of Aunt Tao.

I don't really have much use for the money. She doesn't have to take apart the east wall to make up for the west wall's debt.

When I finished speaking to the Aunt Zhang with pen and paper, I shoved the cheque back into her hands.

Aunt Zhang is not Aunt Wang, she is not me! I haven't had much feelings for her since I haven't been with her for too long, so I swore to myself that I still have some enmity towards her.

Even so, when she was in trouble, I wished I could help her.

Aunt Zhang's eyes drifted a little but she was unwilling to take back the cheque no matter what.

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was adamant, I told her with pen and paper, she could come over to my place to get the money anytime.

After Aunt Zhang left my room, I telepathically communicated with Wei Xiao Han and told him that Aunt Tao and Yu Kexin would be back tomorrow afternoon.

If Aunt Tao and Yu Kexin were to stay at home instead of staying in the hotel, I would have to be a good girl for a long time.

Yu Kexin can't stay idle, even if I can use the Taekwondo class as an excuse to leave home at night, Yu Kexin might come along with me.

Yu Kexin's ability in the way of the ghosts, had obtained the direct disciple of the Aunt Tao, and was ranked second in the arena of the sect's gathering.

If he wants me to participate in the Life Plate exchange, then he has to do it as soon as possible.

Qi Xiaohan made it clear that if he were to say something like that, he wouldn't do anything for his stepmother. He would give me a reply tomorrow morning.

At this point, Qi Xiaohan asked me if I had already accepted Ah Yin.

After I said that I was, Qi Xiaoxian said that it was no wonder he acknowledged me as his master, and I knew that I was the one who took the initiative to communicate with him.

When I was preparing to rest at night, I casually lifted a corner of the curtain to see if the snow outside had stopped falling, but I actually saw Ruan Tianye.

Ruan Tianye floated in the air and looked at my window, his eyes filled with an unquenchable grief.

The moment I lifted the curtain, Ruan Tianye's gaze fell on me and he immediately covered his eyes with grief and sorrow, a smile appearing on his face.

Seeing Ruan Tianye's reaction, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. After a moment of hesitation, I pulled open the curtains, and wrote to tell him to stop staying in the snow.

The smile on Ruan Tianye's face widened as he nodded at me before disappearing into the darkness.

As I watched Ruan Tianye leave, I sighed in my heart. There was no sleepiness left at all, so I just went back to meditating and cultivating my inner pill.

When I was training till the morning, Qi Xiaoxian communicated with me and told me to put on a red hat and take his brother's Life Plate and go there to exchange it for his Life Plate.

His stepmother insisted on exchanging Life Plate during the day, and she also said that she would exchange Life Plate with me alone.

Yesterday, he thought that I had obtained his Life Plate, and he wanted to reveal himself from the shadows at that time, but ended up suffering a heavy injury. Even if his Life Plate had already left the Sunland, he still wouldn't be able to appear and accompany me today.

I alone have to be extra careful. If his stepmother were to use trickery, I will just destroy the Life Plate.

That Life Plate did not fall, but if I throw it hard, it will crumble to pieces.

After having breakfast at home, I found an excuse to leave home and called the place mentioned by Qi Xiaohan.

I wrapped myself up tightly in the snow, so as to avoid the trouble of using makeup to cover my appearance.

The place that Qi Xiaoxian mentioned was the lakeside of a park. Even though it was snowing heavily, there were still quite a few morning practitioners passing by.

The lake was covered in ice, and a child was sitting on it, chopping at the ice around him.

A woman who looked like the mother of a child was sitting on a bench by the lake, smiling at the child.

After arriving at our destination, I communicated with Qi Xiaoxian and told him what time it was before asking him when his stepmother would be coming over.

Qi told me not to be impatient, that his stepmother was already on her way here.

While I was waiting by the lake, Wei Xiaowan told me that he had been reluctant to contact his father.

Because of the Life Plate, he thought that if he could get his father to act, he could save me a lot of trouble.

When he came home last night, he found that there was a new array in his house. He couldn't enter the house, and his father seemed to have been drugged by his stepmother and had fallen asleep early.

His father did not wake up until his stepmother came out of her house to negotiate with him, and he left.

Hearing that Qi Xiaoxian's mood was slightly low, I comforted her and her parents. His stepmother probably wouldn't really hurt his father.

Qi Xiaohan was delighted as he asked, "How many days have we had?"

When I asked about Qi Xiaoxian's condition, I saw Qi Xiaoxian's stepmother coming to the lakeside alone.

Qi Xiaohan's stepmother squinted her eyes when she saw me, then glared at me with indignant eyes as she walked towards me.

I stayed where I was, and when my stepmother arrived at my side, I extended my right hand to her.

Qi Xiaoxian's stepmother lowered her head and started searching the room. The child who was digging out the ice on the lake's surface had actually managed to slip through the ice and fall into the lake.

The woman sitting on the bench screamed as she rushed towards the lakeside. She ran to my side helplessly and grabbed my hand, which was extended towards the stepmother of Qi Xiaohan, to ask for my help.

The woman's powerful hands immediately alerted me, but before I could react, she grabbed my hand and threw me accurately to the spot where the child had been sitting on the surface of the lake.

I couldn't avoid it and fell into the freezing water of the lake.

I could clearly feel that as my body entered the lake water, my soul began to unsteady, as if it wanted to break away from my body.
