Su Ning wasn't surprised he refused, so she didn't press the matter further and turned to leave.

As You Xunchun gazed at the other's retreating figure, his long eyelashes were slightly lowered, making it impossible to discern the emotions in his eyes.

He made an exception for her, which is not a good sign.

Peach blossoms are the most unique and common flower that blooms in spring, yet they are also the most indispensable. They are also a flower that you would never pay attention to when you are looking for spring.

It represents the love between a man and a woman.

If you've never paid attention to it, how can you paint the most beautiful peach blossoms?

He used to express his feelings through painting, always simply recounting his past memories. But if you asked him to paint peach blossoms, he probably wouldn't be able to.

But last night, when he picked up his pen, he kept seeing the image of a young girl in love, her beautiful face flushed, her cheeks rosy and delicate, just like the most beautiful peach blossoms on a branch. So he drew the most splendid flowers.

You Xunchun shook his head, trying to stop himself from thinking about these things.

After receiving the painting, Su Ning knocked on each door one by one. The first door was for Pei Yunlian. She had been seriously injured and had been in bed for so many days. When she woke up, none of them were there, and she had to worry about their safety.

If Su Ning didn't call him this time, she would inevitably feel a little guilty, but that would be it.

As for Tangxi and Yuezijin, needless to say, they will definitely go.

It's unclear when it started, but the three of them began to focus on Su Ning. In the past, Yue Zijin's most frequent question was, "Where's Su Su? What is Su Su doing? I'll listen to Su Su."

Of course, Tangxi is no exception.

However, when Tangxi is around, Yuezijin always has to step aside.

Pei Yunlian still needs to rest and should not engage in any physical violence, but going out is fine for him. He has been sleeping in bed for so many days, it's time for him to go out for a walk.

Perhaps the butterfly was captured, because in the few hours since Su Ning returned to the inn, the outside world has completely changed.

The four stood on the street. Yue Zijin looked at the bustling town and exclaimed in astonishment, "Is this still the Fuxian Town we came from? Why are there so many people?"

Tang Xi, unable to bear his foolish appearance, explained to Su Ning, "Although Fuxian Town is just a town, it holds extraordinary significance because it was once the site of the Xuanji Sect. Moreover, the Moon Goddess Ceremony is held every Mid-Autumn Festival, which already attracts many people."

"Over the years, thanks to the protection of the Su Nu Sect and the Xuan Nu Sect, there have been very few cases of murder and arson in Fuxian Town, and ordinary villains dare not commit evil deeds here."

"Something like the 'flower butterfly' (a metaphor for a woman who is exceptionally beautiful and charming) only happens once every few years."

Tangxi explained while looking around at the trinkets.

The local people are simple and honest; it truly is a place resembling a paradise.

The group walked through the bustling streets and arrived at another Peach Blossom Study, where the red-walled and gray-tiled building still stood quietly.

"Is this Peach Blossom Study really that magical? If I weren't incapable of painting, I'd really like to see what I can exchange it for."

Yue Zijin looked at the building in front of her and asked her question.

"Whether it's a donkey or a horse, we'll know once we take it out for a walk."

Ever since Tangxi heard Su Ning explain the reason, she felt that there was something strange about Peach Blossom Academy. Otherwise, why would she have never heard of such a place in the martial arts world?

As Su Ning stepped into the building, the paintings on the walls remained unchanged. If it weren't for the fact that it was autumn, one might mistake it for a peach blossom grove.

A faint fragrance of peach blossoms wafted from the study, showing how much the owner loved peach blossoms.

The other three were visiting for the first time and were also shocked by the furnishings, speechless for a long time, until the woman from yesterday came to greet them.

"Young lady, you are very punctual. I already told the owner about your request yesterday. She is upstairs now. If your painting catches her eye, the owner will invite you upstairs."

"However, if you speak recklessly, no matter how many people you bring, our master will not show any mercy."

The woman glanced at the people around Su Ning.

Actually, she quite liked the girl in front of her. Although they had only exchanged a few words, the girl's eyes were so bright and intelligent that they were likable to look at.

She had been working at Peach Blossom Academy for so many years and had met countless people, but she took a liking to this girl at first sight. It must have been fate. However, the owner was not someone who could be easily fooled.

Seeing the woman's serious expression, Yue Zi couldn't help but tug at Su Ning's sleeve and whispered, "Will Brother You's painting really satisfy the other party?"

He had known Brother You for so long, but he never knew that the other party could actually draw, so he was always a little uneasy.

Even if someone has seen the peach blossom painting, everyone has different tastes, and it's impossible to know if the other person will be satisfied.

Pei Yunlian glanced at Yue Zijin, offering him a reassurance, "Don't worry, the painting is indeed quite good."

Yue Zijin rolled his eyes at the other party. He knew that this guy also had many secrets, such as why he suddenly rushed up Xiaguang Mountain without thinking that day and ended up with a lot of injuries.

But friends don't need to pry. Everyone has secrets. As long as you know their friendship is genuine, that's enough.

Yue Zijin takes this in stride. He won't force the other party to tell him, nor will he use the guise of doing what's best for him to coerce them into revealing secrets.

Su Ning handed the painting to the woman and saw her go upstairs.

While the others were bored, Su Ning remained calm.

Before long, the woman came down, but she wasn't holding the painting in her hand.

"The master said the young lady may go up now."

The woman smiled, genuinely happy for Su Ning, but she raised her hand to stop Yue Zijin's actions. "Young master, the master only said he wanted to see this young lady, please stop here."

Yue Zi was about to retort when he saw Su Ning shake her head at him, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Although Tangxi and Pei Yunlian were also worried about Su Ning's safety, they ultimately held back.

Upon reaching the second floor, I found the room to be exceptionally elegantly decorated.

The room is divided into two sections by a moon-white silk gauze curtain. The curtain hangs lightly, and a corner is lifted with a thin bamboo curtain hook. When the wind blows, the gauze shadows flutter, and the scene inside can be vaguely seen.

Su Ning felt as if she was being marinated in the scent of peach blossoms, not knowing what kind of fragrance it was.

A purple bamboo bookshelf stood in the corner, filled with various peach blossom branches, and various peach blossom paintings hung on the wall.

"Let me see what kind of girl Zhenniang speaks highly of."

A seductive voice drifted from behind the curtain, a voice so alluring it reached the very core of one's being.

Su Ning subconsciously looked into the inner room, only to vaguely see a slender shadow.

But she couldn't see the figure inside; the person inside, however, saw her completely.

"Peach Blossom Boy...it's you back..."

With a muffled "bang," the sound of something falling came from the inner room. The woman's voice suddenly became light and airy, like a wisp of smoke that could not be grasped, filled with sorrow and disbelief.
