Nothing more was said that night!

As dawn broke, a faint, pale white light, like the belly of a fish, appeared on the horizon.

The cool morning breeze gently swept through the fallen leaves in the courtyard, making a soft rustling sound.

A figure in blue stood quietly in the corner, broom in hand.

Zuo Shu had long been accustomed to waking up early, and even more accustomed to the daily routine of cleaning the yard.

Because deep in her heart, this was her senior brother's home, even if he might never come back.

She would do everything in her power to keep the house spotless, not allowing even the slightest speck of dust to exist.

Every time she swung the broom, her movements were exceptionally earnest and focused, as if she were holding not an ordinary broom, but a weapon to protect precious memories and deep affection.

With a soft creak, a slight yet remarkably clear sound suddenly rang out in the quiet courtyard, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, breaking the tranquility of the morning.

The sound also startled Zuo Shu, who was concentrating on cleaning.

She slowly raised her clear, autumn-water-like eyes to look at him, and gently parted her cherry-red lips, saying in a soft, weary voice, "Fox Whitey has already left."

Fox White left in a hurry last night, only saying a brief goodbye to her before leaving.

Zuo Shu knew in her heart that the main reason she was in such a hurry to leave was the girl who was still unconscious.

Zuo Shu didn't know what their relationship was, but she figured it must be pretty close.

She didn't ask any more questions, because none of this concerned her.

Yu Linghuan walked lightly, like a cat, to the spot where Zuo Shu had just cleaned, where the rocking chair was placed.

Zuo Shu frowned slightly, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the broom. She continued, "If you're hungry, go inside and sit for a while. Please don't bother me."

There was a hint of helplessness and a touch of dissatisfaction in his tone.

At this moment, Zuo Shu was dressed in a coarse blue cloth dress. A few strands of her hair were blown into disarray by the morning breeze, which only added to her charming and touching appearance.

Yu Linghuan, on the other hand, had a graceful figure, and her brightly colored dress looked particularly dazzling in the morning light. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her eyes revealed a hint of playfulness.

"I'm not here to see her, I'm here to see you."

Yu Linghuan leaned back like a blooming flower and lay down on the rocking chair.

Zuo Shu paused slightly, her clear eyes filled with confusion, not understanding what she wanted to do.

But seeing her sitting in the rocking chair that originally belonged to his senior brother, his brows furrowed even deeper.

But she still said, "What do you want to say? Please wait until I'm done with my work."

As she spoke, Zuo Shu began sweeping on her own, the broom in her hand moving rhythmically, as if in her heart, nothing Yu Linghuan said was as important as cleaning this courtyard full of memories.

But Yu Linghuan's next words made Zuo Shu pause slightly as she was waving her arm.

"Don't you miss your senior brother?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Shu's gaze instantly shifted, her eyes like sharp arrows, fixed on Yu Linghuan's pretty face, which held a half-smile.

For some reason, Zuo Shu felt as if a boulder had been thrown into a calm lake, and a sense of disgust arose in her heart.

She couldn't win against Hu Baibai, and Zuo Shu accepted that. After all, Hu Baibai had been by her senior brother's side since childhood, and their bond was no less than hers.

However, Yu Linghuan was merely a demoness from the evil cultivator's palace. She later used some means to obtain her senior brother's body and give birth to Yu Shuiwei.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Zuo Shu frowned, her voice carrying a hint of suppressed anger.

Yu Linghuan seemed oblivious to the anger in Zuo Shu's eyes, remaining calm and composed, as if nothing in the world could affect her mood. She slowly said, "Are you content to stay here forever, only able to silently think of your senior brother in your heart?"

"This is my business, it's none of your concern."

Zuo Shu's voice was cold, like the morning breeze, devoid of any warmth.

"What if I could let you see your senior brother?" Yu Linghuan narrowed her long, narrow eyes, and smiled in a half-smile.

Zuo Shu was about to say something more, but the words that were about to come out instantly turned into shock.

"What did you say?!"

Zuo Shu's body trembled slightly, and she almost dropped the broom in her hand.

"I mean, what do you think if I had the chance to let you meet your senior brother in person?"

Yu Linghuan continued speaking slowly and deliberately, her voice soft yet possessing a captivating power.

Zuo Shu tried her best to hide the shock on her face, her bright eyes fixed on Yu Linghuan's charming yet repulsive face.

But after a long while, Zuo Shu did not see any sign of joking on her face.

At this moment, Zuo Shu was in a state of utter confusion, and her breathing became rapid.

But after only a moment, Zuo Shu managed to suppress the excitement in her heart.

Her fair face was tense as she tried to remain calm, but her slightly trembling lips betrayed the turmoil in her heart. She slowly said, "Senior brother is Hu Baibai. Protecting this place is also protecting the senior brother in my heart."

Upon hearing this, Yu Linghuan's smile deepened.

Her narrow, almond-shaped eyes held a hint of cunning, and her rosy lips were slightly upturned. She slowly stood up, her figure swaying gently like a willow in the breeze.

She approached Zuo Shu step by step, a slender, jade-like finger gently touching Zuo Shu's chest. A charming voice drifted from Yu Linghuan's cherry-like lips: "You're clearly moved, but you're afraid of losing. You're really silly."

Zuo Shu's face instantly turned cold, her clear eyes filled with anger. Without hesitation, she coldly pushed her hand away and said sharply, "I told you, this is my business, and it has nothing to do with you."

"You're afraid of losing, but I'm not. If the fox can find it for free, why can't I find it too?"

Yu Linghuan raised her eyes and looked at the rising sun breaking through the darkness, murmuring to herself.

At this moment, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyes revealed determination and persistence.

"You're delusional."

Zuo Shu's lips curled up into a cold, mocking smile as she mercilessly sneered.

"Yes, me."

next second!

An imperial might suddenly surged forth, like a raging storm on a calm sea.

The imperial aura was controlled perfectly, only resonating within this quiet courtyard in the woods.

Even though Zuo Shu had lost her cultivation, she could still clearly feel this supreme power.

Because she had experienced the same aura on Hu Baibai, which was undoubtedly the powerful aura unique to a Great Emperor Realm Venerable.

"you...."

Zuo Shu's eyes widened, her mouth agape, her face filled with disbelief, as if she were frozen in place.

"In terms of talent, I am no less than Hu Baibai; in terms of love for Shen Shuchou, I am no less than you. So why can't I find her?"

Yu Linghuan remained calm, a hint of stubbornness showing on her beautiful face, and said softly.

"The reason I came to find you is simply because I don't want to see you, silly girl, spend your whole life waiting in this little courtyard. What Fox Bai Bai is unwilling to share, I will share."

Yu Linghuan tilted her head slightly, her gaze firm, and continued speaking. Her cascading black hair fluttered in the wind, adding to her carefree air.

Zuo Shu didn't speak, her eyes lowered, her heart pounding as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

Her pretty face looked a little confused, and she gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth.

"I've disappeared for so many years, all for him, haven't I? Once you've made up your mind, I'll come back to you again."

After Yu Linghuan finished speaking, she vanished without a trace.

Only Zuo Shu was left standing there, disheveled in the wind, her hair somehow covering her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water.

But Zuo Shu didn't drive them away; she just muttered to herself, "Afraid of losing?"
