Her face was covered with a white veil, and the breeze blew, revealing a stunning face beneath it.
“Have you heard about the old master of the Nan family... He’s not in good health...”
When the woman heard that, the hand holding the teacup paused as she lowered her eyes slightly to hide the emotions in them.
“The old master of the Nan family seems to have been paralyzed and bedridden since a long time ago,” the man continued. “But lately, he seems to be getting worse, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to live much longer...
“Tsk, I do not know where the young lady of the Nan family ran away to. Someone said that she had spent a long time outside the city, and when she came back to the Nan family, she was like someone who had lost her lover and could not live without him... The old master was furious with his disobedient and ungrateful daughter, causing him to fall sick and go paralyzed...
“The old master’s biggest tragedy in his life is to get his long-lost daughter back, and in the end... Bad things still happened to him.
“All these years, the new head of the Nan family has provided some herbs to the old master to help him. Otherwise, the old master would have been dead a long time ago. But the old master is still angry with his unfilial daughter, and this time, it seems like he doesn’t want to live anymore...”
The old master’s life was full of glory, but his daughter had ruined him. All his dignity was destroyed, leaving him with no more faith to live.
The woman stood up, clenched her fists tightly, and walked out of the teahouse.

On the mountain outside the town, a white phoenix looked at the water’s reflection and saw a white dress figure approaching it.
Its eyes lit up, and it flew over with its wings flapping.
“Suyi... Suyi, you’re back?”
Suyi’s dress was as white as snow; her eyes were full of determination. “White Phoenix, let’s go down the mountain and go to the Nan family!”
‘The Nan family?’
The white phoenix tilted its head and looked at Suyi blankly. “Why are we going to the Nan family? Shouldn’t we be looking for Xiao Qing? I haven’t even seen Xiao Qing’s child yet, and I want that little girl to call me Grandfather White Phoenix.”
It raised its head proudly as it said this, its wings fluttering arrogantly.
“No... I still have few things to settle with the Nan family.” Suyi slowly turned around and turned her back to the white phoenix. “I have avoided Mu Ling my whole life, and I haven’t gone down the mountain for more than ten years. I can’t protect Nan Xian... I don’t want to bring any harm to him.”
If Nan Xian and Qing’er knew about her past with the Nan family, with their character, they would not have let those things go.
However, the Nan family was too powerful...
She could not let them endure such a violent storm.
Even though she had been here for two years, she had never taken a step off the mountain.
She was afraid that the people of the Nan family would find out about her existence, and even more afraid that... They would find out about Nan Xian and Qing’er...
“But... Didn’t we agree that we would go to the Nan family when we are strong enough?” The white phoenix looked confused.
Suyi pursed her lips. “I’m afraid that... We can’t wait until then.”
She was afraid that when she went back, she would not see her father again...
She could not wait any longer without knowing how anxious her father had been during the years of her disappearance.
She had to go to the Nan family now!
“Alright...” The white phoenix smiled. “Suyi, I’ll accompany you to the ends of the earth, to heaven and hell.”
