Qin Xiaoxi let go of her father and nodded.

“I understand.”

“It’s a long way to the Sakura Valley. Father still hopes that you can come back safely. Remember to protect yourself.”

Qin Xiaoxi didn’t say anything. At this time, a carriage slowly drove over from not far away and stopped in front of the three of them.

Qin Mingzhu seemed to have remembered something. She quickly took off the jade pendant from her belt and stuffed it into Qin Xiaoxi’s hands.

“Little sister…. This jade pendant is for you. This means that I will always be by your side. Quickly accept it.”

Qin Xiaoxi took the jade pendant. She knew that this jade pendant had been worn by her sister for seven or eight years. It had been nourished by her sister and was very exquisite.

“Thank you, Sister.” Qin Xiaoxi hugged Qin Mingzhu.

“The carriage is here. Set off on your journey, little sister.”

Qin Mingzhu let go of her and said softly.

“Sister, father, I will definitely be successful in my learning. I want to be the strongest cultivator in the Qin Family.” Qin Xiaoxi put away her luggage and grabbed the handrail of the carriage. One of her legs was already in the carriage.

“Go.” Qin Haisheng waved his hand. At this moment, he didn’t know what to say. The child was grown. In the end, he couldn’t keep her. He just watched Qin Xiaoxi get into the carriage.

Just like that, the coachman made an “oh” sound and then waved his whip down. The carriage began to set off slowly.

At this moment, two servants came to Qin Haisheng’s side. They were both cultivators with a certain amount of spiritual power and cultivation power in the Qin Family.

“Go, secretly escort young miss to the Sakura Valley. Remember not to be discovered. I will reward you handsomely when you return.” Qin Haisheng hurriedly instructed the two of them. He was assured about Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li. They were from the countryside, and they were simple and honest people, moreover, they were also extremely outstanding cultivators of the Qin Family.

“Understood, Master.” The two cultivators immediately cupped their fists upon receiving the order. Then, they went to the backyard to look for horses and prepared to rush all the way to the ferry.

Watching her little sister leave, Qin Mingzhu’s eyes were a little moist.

At this time, a warm voice came from all directions.

“Mingzhu…”

“Mingzhu…”

Everything around her began to disappear, and the unbearable pain came from her abdomen again.

Qin Mingzhu slowly opened her eyes.

So… She only had a dream… She dreamed of the day her little sister left three years ago…

She saw her father, Qin Haisheng, sitting by her bed, holding a bowl of steaming hot soup. Her father seemed to have aged a lot, and the white hair on his temples grew more and more. Only three years had passed, and her father had lost his heroic spirit at that time.

Qin Haisheng slowly helped Qin Mingzhu up, and Qin Mingzhu leaned on the pillow. Then, Qin Haisheng used his rough hands to pick up the spoon. He scooped up a little bit of the decoction, put it by his mouth, and blew on it gently.

“This is the medicine that father ordered people to prescribe. It will help your injury recover. Drink it quickly.” Qin Haisheng put the spoon to Qin Mingzhu’s mouth. At this moment, Qin Mingzhu’s face was pale and her lips were dry. She didn’t look like the eldest young miss of the Qin family anymore.

Qin Mingzhu silently took a sip.

It was so bitter…

Before she could swallow the medicine, Qin Mingzhu spat it out.

“Is it very hot?” Qin Haisheng looked worriedly at Qin Mingzhu who was very weak on the bed.

“It hurts…” Qin Mingzhu used all her strength to say these words. She did not have the strength to continue speaking.

Qin Haisheng quickly put the medicine aside.

“Mingzhu… Hold on for a while more. Everything will be fine.”

At this moment, Qin Mingzhu was already silent. Tears flowed down from the corner of her eyes.

Seeing this, Qin Haisheng’s heart was filled with endless heartache, anger, and regret.

His heartache was from watching his own daughter being tortured, but he was helpless at this moment.

His anger was from the haunting He Zhao who had directly injured his daughter to this state. If he had the chance, he would definitely tear He Zhao into pieces!

However, Qin Haisheng was filled with regret the most.

He regretted that he had used Qin Mingzhu as a marriage tool between the Qin and He families in order to make a living for the Qin Family. If he had not done that back then, perhaps Qin Mingzhu would not have suffered such torture.

Qin Haisheng had always respected the opinions and thoughts of his children.

Not only his eldest son, Qin Yu, but also his second daughter, Qin Xiaoxi. He respected their opinions very much. Letting Xiaoxi go to the Sakura Valley on her own was his compromise.

But only his eldest daughter, Qin Mingzhu.

He didn’t even ask if Qin Mingzhu was willing or not, and had forcefully used her as a marriage tool for hm. There was once a chance for him to reconsider whether to continue the engagement, but he still resolutely decided to give Qin Mingzhu away.

It was all his own fault.

Thinking of this, Qin Haisheng couldn’t help but shed a tear.

Slap!

He swung his hand and gave himself a vicious slap.

That voice sounded exceptionally clear in the room.

“It’s all my fault… Mingzhu… It’s all my fault… Father has let you down…”

Qin Haisheng couldn’t stop his tears anymore.

This was the first time Qin Mingzhu saw her father shed tears.

Slap!

Another loud slap.

“Father really let you down…”

Qin Haisheng silently lowered his head. He had used an unknown amount of strength, and at this moment, two red marks appeared on Qin Haisheng’s face.

“Father…”

Qin Mingzhu, who was on the bed, cried out with difficulty.

Qin Haisheng quickly turned his gaze towards her.

Qin Mingzhu’s tears had already wet her face. She wanted to reach out her hand, but the pain made her pull back again. “Don’t…”

“I… I don’t blame you… Don’t be like this.” Qin Mingzhu’s voice was very weak, and the more he heard it, the more Qin Haisheng couldn’t control his tears.

“You must persevere. Father and mother will be by your side.” Qin Haisheng gently touched Qin Mingzhu’s face, trying his best not to shed tears again.

“Little… little sister, went to the northern region with Sect Master Jiang…”

Qin Haisheng was not angry, but continued to answer in a slightly sobbing voice:

“I already know. Sect Master Jiang had also ordered his disciple to tell me… Xiaoxi… although she acted impulsively, she still loves you very much… I know she will definitely leave.” Qin Haisheng nodded, he continued, “So, we’ll stay with you. You must recuperate well and wait for Xiaoxi and Sect Master Jiang to come back. By then, everything will be better.”

Qin Mingzhu closed her eyes and nodded silently.

“Then, Mingzhu, bear with it. The good medicine is bitter. You’ll feel better after drinking it.”
