Elder Sun seed calm, but in fact, he was just good at concealing it. Inside, he was already anxious, but perhaps over the years he had co to terms with it.
For him, Dong Huiying was a beacon of hope. Yet this hope, he wanted to believe it, but dared not believe it.
His strange deanor was actually because... he was too apprehensive, too afraid of disappointnt.
If Lady Xiao Dong couldn’t heal Xiuxiu, he could also pretend not to know, pretend never to have t this person, pretend none of this had ever happened, and continue his past life, guarding soone who couldn’t wake up.
However, he had always been secretly watching Dong Huiying.
After seeing Dong Huiying walk into the inner room, he subtly let out a sigh of relief.
At this mont, Zhi Chen had already walked slowly towards Elder Sun. "Elder Sun, could I have a word with you in private?"
Sun Changmao’s graying eyebrows rose a bit before he suddenly pulled Yi Ran over, making him sit in his place: "Play well, if I lose because of you, watch how I’ll deal with you later!"
Yi Ran: "..." Wah, the Elder’s elbow is turning outward again!
He gave Elder Sun a wronged look, then took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a handful of chess pieces, and prepared for a great match with Shu Yu.

Liang Zhichen deliberately walked a bit farther away, adopting this manner out of fear his main wife would overhear. He and Elder Sun left the courtyard, standing under an old Yang tree.
Zhi Chen cupped his hands in salute and slowly bowed to Elder Sun. "Elder, you are soone from the Witch Gu Clan. Zhi Chen has a concern in his heart and hopes the elder can kindly advise ."
Next, Zhi Chen lowered his voice, his thin lips moving subtly. Even soone proficient in lip-reading would find it hard to discern what he was saying. Only Elder Sun, who was close, could hear him clearly.
Elder Sun was mildly surprised: "This situation is sowhat special. When you were under the Gu, you removed the Child Gu, but as long as it’s a Gu, it carries so poison. The residual toxicity of the Child Gu mixed with the Thorny Fruit forms a new poison. But you’ve already recalled so things, and after spitting out a mouthful of poison blood yesterday, you’ve rembered more. It’s actually quite easy to recall everything now."
Elder Sun pointed out a clear path for him, and Zhi Chen seed enlightened. Afterwards, Elder Sun gave a sowhat aningful smile to Zhi Chen and said, "That girl is indeed outstanding, her Poison Gu Art far surpasses this old man. I once refined Gu, and later learned dical skills for love. But at her age, possessing such skills is truly exceptional. Across the Witch Gu Clan, perhaps only Yi Ran and his senior and junior sisters can barely compare with her."
Elder Sun seed to be complinting Dong Huiying, but was actually hinting at Liang Zhichen as to why he was looking afar when the answer was close by?
Zhi Chen slowly extended his hand, watching the sunlight filter through the branches and fall onto his palm: "I think, if I rember everything, she might be happy? But she always worries, afraid of pressuring , afraid of going against my true intentions. But I want to return the most complete version of myself to her before returning to my hotown. Not like now, incomplete, even if close, but always having so sense of barrier in the soul."
Elder Sun glanced at Liang Zhichen and then laughed with a sigh, "Ah, love!!"
This is life; this is death. Since ancient tis, love has been a great ordeal, whether hero or bear, there are always tis of bowing to it.
