Jun Ye’an suddenly spoke, his expression subtly showing a hint of joy, as if he had momentarily forgotten the poison coursing through his veins. “I don’t want to discuss this with you,” she said, slowly sitting down and rubbing her temples with evident exhaustion. The surroundings fell silent, only the heavy breathing of the white leopard, the subtle chirping of spring insects, and the blooming flowers covering the valley could be heard. Jun Ye’an squinted his eyes, looking out the window, suddenly recalling their first visit here at this very time, an early spring outing. His expression softened, and he sat down beside Bai Wei, gently asking, “Chu Xia… what have you been doing these past two years?”
Bai Wei didn’t respond, but a voice from outside the house laughed aloud, “What has she been doing? She’s been very busy… busy seeking revenge, busy looking for you, busy searching for evidence to prove whether you two are siblings. On the other hand, young master, you’ve been quite leisurely!”

Bai Wei suddenly stood up, looking outside. There, Su Feng Hua was approaching, fanning himself, and nodded at Bai Wei, sighing, “Ever since the old sect leader passed away, you’ve truly stopped heeding the sect’s rules.”
Bai Wei gritted her teeth slightly, “Su Feng Hua, where is Bai Xue?”
“You would never have guessed that Bai Xue has a sister, would you?” Su Feng Hua chuckled, his eyes glancing at Jun Ye’an, “Did the young master think of this?”
“I see now, you used Bai Xue to coerce Chu Xue, making her a sacrificial pawn, which is why I was harmed,” Jun Ye’an suddenly understood, realizing some past events, “Two years ago at Jun Mountain, it wasn’t so much that I let you go, but you let me go — back then, you feared my martial arts, and this girl was unwilling to harm me, so you could only hope I would retire from the martial world, right?”
“Indeed,” Su Feng Hua clapped his hands in approval, “That way, it wouldn’t be in vain for Ah Wei’s unwavering loyalty to you.”
Bai Wei had been silent until now when she suddenly looked at Jun Ye’an and asked, “Do you believe… I didn’t want to harm you?”
