Mu Wanqing, on the other hand, followed Meng Xiuyuan and Zhong Ling, saying nothing most of the time, just looking at them silently, always seeming unhappy.

Meng Xiuyuan asked her why she had to go with him, and she said that she had been entrusted by her uncle Gan Baobao to take good care of Zhong Ling until he was sent back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations.

Although he didn't know whether what she said was true, Meng Xiuyuan had no reason to drive her away, so he simply didn't care.

In this way, Meng Xiuyuan, with one "brainless" and the other "unhappy", drove and took a boat all the way to the border of Jiangnan.

However, when they approached Wuxi, Meng Xiuyuan parted ways with the two of them in advance in order not to expose the specific location of the Flower Valley.

It wasn't that Meng Xiuyuan didn't trust the two of them, it was just that if one more person knew the secret, it would be more likely to be exposed.

Meng Xiuyuan was concerned about Qiao Sanhuai and his wife and did not want to take more risks.

Although Zhong Ling didn't want to be separated from Meng Xiuyuan from the bottom of his heart, he was also reasonable and just wanted to stay here and wait for Meng Xiuyuan. After he had visited his elders, they could move together.

Meng Xiuyuan nodded in agreement, then said goodbye to the two girls and rushed straight to the Flower Valley outside Wuxi City.

…

Meng Xiuyuan was actually quite worried about Qiao Sanhuai and his wife after not seeing them for two years. He just wanted to go back to see if they were healthy and have a good meal with them.

With such a mentality, Meng Xiuyuan walked faster and faster, so much so that when he finally used the "Xiaoyaoyou" technique, he floated more than ten feet away with the touch of his toes, and his body seemed to turn into a breeze.

Just as soon as he entered this flower valley, Meng Xiuyuan felt that something was wrong, because unlike before, there was no refreshing and rich fragrance of flowers, and there were no butterflies and bees dancing.

With a shiver in his heart, Meng Xiuyuan hurriedly continued to accelerate and rushed straight into the valley.

A moment later, standing on the familiar hillside and looking around, he couldn't help but shrink back, and his true energy boiled up in an instant.

All that could be seen was that the originally brilliant sea of ​​flowers was now withered and decayed. And the few originally exquisite wooden houses now looked lifeless, dusty and damaged, and it was obvious that no one had repaired them.

What is really eye-catching is that in the open space next to the house, there are actually two small earth mounds, with stone tablets erected on each.

Thunder exploded in his head and his ears buzzed. Meng Xiuyuan didn't believe that things could really be like this. He gritted his teeth and rushed over, insisting on seeing clearly.

When Meng Xiuyuan stepped forward, he took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and carefully read the words on the tablet. He felt relieved at first, but then he frowned and his eyes were slightly red.

Because the two stone tablets are respectively engraved with: "The Tomb of the Second Brother, the Chess Demon Fan Bailing" and "The Tomb of the Sixth Brother, the Craftsman Feng Asan".

Not willing to make random guesses, Meng Xiuyuan immediately stepped into the slightly dilapidated wooden house, intending to search for clues to find out what happened in this and the Flower Valley.

The house was covered with dust and no one had lived in it for a long time. There were many broken tables, chairs and tea bowls. It was obvious that someone had done something here before and they didn't even have time to clean it up.

Meng Xiuyuan designed and styled the layout according to the habits of the Xiaoyao sect. After some exploration, he found a very hidden secret compartment in the corner of his original bedroom, and took out a letter from it.

The handwriting on this letter is soft, obviously written by the nymphomaniac Shi Qinglu. However, the handwriting is quite scattered, and it is obvious that when writing it, he was in a confused mood and was very urgent.

Meng Xiuyuan immediately took a deep breath and quickly read the contents.

According to Shi Qinglu's letter, everything was calm in the first year after Meng Xiuyuan left, and Qiao Sanhuai and his wife lived a very comfortable life under the care of the eight friends of Hangu.

Among them, eight of them even took advantage of Meng Xiuyuan's favor to invite Wu Yazi, master and disciple of Su Xinghe, to enjoy their old age in peace.

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were simple and respectful people, but they got along well with the Master and Disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. They all enjoyed themselves together in the valley and lived a comfortable and unrestrained life.

But at the beginning of the next year, when Qiao Feng brought his newlywed wife A'Zhu home, he was in trouble.

Qiao Feng and his wife lived in the valley for more than ten days, and everything was fine. But on the night they said goodbye and left, an old man who looked very similar to Qiao Feng broke into the valley and started killing without saying a word.

Fortunately, they were discovered in time, and Su Xinghe and Hangu's eight friends joined forces to fight against the enemy, and Wu Yazi attacked with a sneak attack regardless of his old injury, and only then was the man injured and forced to retreat.

The price was that all eight of Hangu's friends were seriously injured. Fan Bailing and Feng Asan failed to survive despite repeated treatment and rescue efforts.

At the end of the letter, Shi Qinglu told Meng Xiuyuan that Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were safe and sound at this time, but they were just afraid that the highly skilled criminal would come again, so everyone quietly moved out of the valley and went to the "old place" to avoid the enemy.

I hope that after Meng Xiuyuan comes back, if he sees this letter, he can go and spend some time with everyone.

After Meng Xiuyuan read the Chinese text in the letter, he knew that Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were probably safe, and his anxious heart was finally relieved.

But a moment later, when he raised his head again, the worry that had filled his heart suddenly turned into anger, which was difficult to calm down.
