The atmosphere inside Dali Temple was solemn.Li Mengjue stood next to Yuan Ji's body, frowning.The blood stains on Yuan Ji's body were obviously not his own.Xie Jingshu, the leader of Dali Temple, also discovered that the body had been dead for more than a day.The mystery seems to be far more complicated than it appears.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a clue surfaced: one day ago, someone from Southwest Pingzhou came to visit Yuan Ji.This makes people think, is Yuan Ji's death related to the legendary wormwood on the snow?A branch of Artemisia on the Snow, this mysterious medicine spread in the Pingzhou area, is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, but it also comes with great risks.
Xie Jingshu decided to go to Pingzhou in person, thinking that all the answers might be found there.Everyone went on the road and took a break on the way.Li Mengjue noticed that Xie Jingshu seemed to be unspeakably sad about Yuan Ji's death.She tried to comfort him, but found that words seemed so weak at this time.
Xie Jingshu began to talk about his past with Yuan Ji. The relationship between the two was as deep as a father and son.Li Mengjue had never seen Xie Jingshu like this before, and for the first time, she felt empathy and concern for him.However, this warm atmosphere did not last long.Xie Jingshu suddenly took out a piece of evidence of fragrant powder and pointed out that everyone's whereabouts had been exposed, and the target of suspicion was actually Lu Xi'er.
In the dead of night, Li Mengjue's meeting with Yun Shanjun was accidentally discovered by Xie Jingshu.It turned out that the person who leaked his whereabouts turned out to be Li Mengjue himself.This discovery made Xie Jingshu deeply suspicious of her.Li Mengjue decided to return to Bai Rui's room, hoping to find more clues.However, after she left Huachaolou, she encountered Xie Jingshu, who was walking in black at night.
The confrontation between the two was tense and fierce.Li Mengjue confessed that he was Bai Wugu of the Suo Ming Sect, but Xie Jingshu seemed to have already understood everything.During the entanglement, another assassin appeared, and the two of them worked together to deal with it, and finally managed to escape.However, in the darkness, a figure quietly appeared, it was Bai Rui - she had just faked her death before, and she was the real mastermind behind the scenes. She ordered the pursuit of Xie Jingshu and Li Mengjue.
The two people who hid in the ruined temple began to question each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.During the bickering, Li Mengjue suddenly vomited blood, which made Xie Jingshu worried.He hugged Li Mengjue tightly, while Li Mengjue, when he was weak, recalled the scene when the two first met many years ago - at that time, Xie Jingshu had rescued her from a gangster.Taking this opportunity, Li Mengjue also confessed her feelings to Xie Jingshu. She said that after joining the Life-Saving Sect, she never thought about the love between her children, but Xie Jingshu was an exception to her.
Soon after, Li Mengjue followed the footprints all the way to Huachaolou, and accidentally ran into Liu Yuan teasing Bai Rui.She came to the rescue, but she didn't forget to take the opportunity to blackmail% and got some money from Bai Rui.After returning to the bedroom, while she was checking her wounds, she was bumped into by Xie Jingshu who suddenly broke in.Faced with Xie Jingshu's questions, Li Mengjue had no choice but to make up a sad drama, using the excuse that his injury was caused by a high-ranking official in Gyeonggi Province.Xie Jingshu mistakenly believed that it was the Liu Mansion in the east of the city. Li Mengjue followed suit and pretended to be asleep to avoid the topic.
Xie Jingshu looked at Li Mengjue's back and couldn't help but recall the scene when the two met for the first time.At that time, Li Mengjue almost died at the hands of the bad guys, but it was he who appeared in time and saved her.
