Outside the four-sided city of Dongyang Kingdom, among the clouds, the unknown villa, and the pavilion next to the back mountain waterfall.

Mu Yan, who was disguised as a teenager, was slowly cleaning up the chessboard in front of her, and the old man sitting opposite her took the pot of wine warmed on the small stove next to her, poured two glasses, and placed one of them in front of Mu Yan.

"Master, I won't drink." Mu Yan said with a faint expression.

"Are you afraid that the wine will be poisonous?" The old man asked with deep eyes as he looked at Mu Yan.

"No, it's just that I don't want to drink." Mu Yan shook her head slightly, her expression very calm.

The old man chuckled: "Forget it! This wine was brewed by me personally, and it was the only portion in the world, but the girl didn't want to drink it, so I couldn't force it."

The old man finished speaking, raised his glass and drank it all, and then brought the glass in front of Mu Yan over and drank it himself.

A gust of cold wind blew into the pavilion. Mu Yan felt a little wet on her face. She looked outside and found that snow was beginning to fall.

It is the twelfth lunar month now, and the heavy snow that fell a few days ago has not melted yet, and now another snow has come.

Mu Yan stood up and looked at the old man and said, "Master, I'm tired, so I'm going back and rest first."

"Okay, you go back." The old man nodded slightly, and did not put down the wine glass in his hand.

The wind and snow suddenly became tight. Mu Yan left the pavilion without wearing a cloak, and slowly walked into the wind and snow all over the sky. Her straight back was as proud as pine and cypress.

The old man quietly watched Mu Yan's back disappear from sight, drank the last glass of wine, put down the wine glass, and stood up and left the pavilion.

The name of this villa is Wuming Villa. When Mu Yan woke up the day before yesterday, she was in a quiet living yard on the back of Wuming Villa. An old woman with a strong atmosphere was taking care of her diet and daily life. The old woman was deaf and dumb. Mu Yan knew some sign language, but she did not have any unnecessary communication with the old woman.

Mu Yan returned to her room in Wuming Villa and sat down. The room was elegant but simple, with a bed, a table, a chair and a cabinet. There was a celadon vase on the windowsill, and a bunch of buds of wintersweet was inserted into it. It was picked by Mu Yan from the yard yesterday. Apart from that, there was nothing extra.

When Mu Yan woke up here, her internal energy was suppressed by a drug, and all the weapons and hidden weapons on her body disappeared, including the silver ring on her finger that had been worn for a long time and looked very simple. Mu Yan's clothes were changed, and her shoes were replaced with new ones.

In other words, Mu Yan's internal strength is still there but cannot be used, and her weapons are gone, she does not have any medicines or poisons on hand, and she cannot contact any medicinal materials. The master of Xiao Xinghan who caught her lives next to Mu Yan, and there is an old woman with high martial arts skills next to Mu Yan and stares at her.

Faced with such a passive situation, Mu Yan was not very panicked and uneasy. She was very calm. When Xiao Xinghan's master successfully poisoned her, and quietly broke the formation of the Xiao Wang Mansion, broke into the Xiao Wang Mansion, and kidnapped her without knowing it, Mu Yan knew that whether it was martial arts, poison skills or formations, Xiao Xinghan's master was a master. It was very unwise to fight head-on, and there would be no good results. Mu Yan believed that she was not dead now, which means that she still had value to Xiao Xinghan's master. The first thing she needed to do was to take care of herself, and then to find a way to get out.

Mu Yan still doesn't know who Xiao Xinghan's master's surname is, and she doesn't know exactly where she is. She can't practice martial arts, design weapons, and study drugs now. The only thing she can do is carving that looks useless.

Mu Yan asked Xiao Xinghan’s master for a knife and a few pieces of jade yesterday, and used carvings to pass the time. She was very serious and focused on it. Now she has completed a jade carving. The jade carving is only as big as a child’s fist, but it is an exquisite landscape sculpture. It carved the waterfall and pavilion on the back mountain of the Wuming Villa. After closer inspection, every detail is perfect.

"Send this to the master." Mu Yan handed the jade carving to the old woman who served her, and did not use sign language to gesture, because the old woman knew lips and could see what she was saying. The reason why Mu Yan called that person a master was not a compromise, but just dealing with it, and she had no other way to call that person.

The old woman held it in her hand and glanced at it, with a slightly surprised look. She glanced at Mu Yan again, then nodded, and left with the jade carving.

Soon, the old woman returned and brought back a gift to Mu Yan, which was a very rare piece of black jade and was quite large.

Mu Yan smiled slightly and said, "I like it very much."

The entire unnamed villa was covered with wind and snow. In the evening, lights were lit everywhere in the villa, the door slowly opened, and a large carriage drove in.

The carriage walked for a while before stopping. The curtain was lifted, and Leng Lie reached out to Nangong Wan: "Wan'er, come down."

Jin Liancheng, who was seriously injured in Leiyang City and had another arm broken by Xiao Xinghan, was lying in the carriage to recuperate. At this moment, he had opened his eyes and was helped by Nangong Wan. With Leng Lie's help, he got off the carriage.

There was a courtyard in front of me, with lights on in the room. Two maids with beautiful eyes and decent expressions stood in the corridor, saluting Nangong Wan, calling Nangong Wan the "Three Miss".

Nangong Wan frowned slightly. She was the eldest lady in the former genius doctor's sect. This place should be the Leng family. However, her biological father's family became the third lady.

"You can stay here, take care of each other, and give them any necessary instructions." Leng Lie said to Nangong Wan and Jin Liancheng, "It's too late today, and I'll take you to meet the rest of the family tomorrow."

Nangong Wan didn't say anything, Leng Lie left quickly. Nangong Wan supported Jin Liancheng and entered the best room in the yard, let Jin Liancheng stay, and then put her own luggage in the next room.

"You have a rest first. If you have any questions, I'll be next door." Nangong Wan said to Jin Liancheng.

"You have a backer now, why should you be so polite to me?" Jin Liancheng sat on the bed, looking at Nangong Wan with a faint expression. He knew that he was not good to Nangong Wan, very bad. It was him who made Nangong Wan have nothing, and deceived Nangong Wan's feelings, and was domineering to Nangong Wan, making her do a lot of things that servants did.

"This is my business, I do." Nangong Wan's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he turned around and left after speaking.

Jin Liancheng looked at Nangong Wan's back with deep eyes, without a trace of affection in his eyes, and with a cold heart. He didn't like Nangong Wan, so no matter how much Nangong Wan did for him, he would not be moved at all, and he would not fall in love with Nangong Wan because of this. Since Nangong Wan was willing, he would naturally not have any psychological burden when he took advantage of Nangong Wanlai.

Jin Liancheng turned his head and glanced at his empty left arm sleeve, his eyes darkened. His body had actually recovered almost. Leng Lie also understood medical skills and was taking care of him all the way. However, whenever Jin Liancheng fell asleep, when he dreamed at midnight, there was a person in the dream holding a scimitar of cold light and chopping his arm. He tried hard to see the man's face clearly, but he woke up every time he was about to see clearly, because he subconsciously thought that Mu Yan cut off one of his arms, and he didn't want to accept such facts.

As for the Leng family, Jin Liancheng didn't know what Leng Lie was trying to come to him suddenly, but he was not worried, because it was obvious that Leng Lie found him for some benefit. As long as there was a deal to do, he didn't have to worry about his own safety.

Early the next morning, the snow had not stopped, but it was getting heavier and heavier.

After serving Nangong Wan and Jin Liancheng for breakfast, the servant said that they would go to the main hall to pay homage to the head of the family. Nangong Wan silently supported Jin Liancheng, and the servants held an umbrella next to them and went out together.

The nameless villa where the Leng family is located is built in the middle of the villa, and it looks like a palace, which is quite grand and grand. In the wind and snow, there are eight masters with great breath standing there guarding the gate with expressionless faces. When they see Nangong Wan and Jin Liancheng coming, they don’t even blink.

No one came out to greet them. Nangong Wan supported Jinliancheng and stepped over the high threshold of the main hall and walked in.

An old man with a white hair and majestic face sat upright in the main seat, holding a handful of ink-handled silver silk whisk in his hand, which looked quite fairy-like. Leng Lie sat at the top of the left, and there was a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face sitting beside him. When the middle-aged woman saw Nangong Wan, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

There were two young men sitting on the right, one man and one woman, whose appearance was far less outstanding than Nangong Wan, but their eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Nangong Wan because they both looked like Leng Lie. This is why Nangong Wan was the third lady of the Leng family in the nameless villa.

The old man in charge was the head of the Leng family, named Leng Ze. He looked at Nangong Wan with his scrutiny, and Leng Lie looked at Nangong Wan and said, "Wan'er, kneel down and pay homage to your grandfather."

Nangong Wan lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at a cushion on the ground in front of him, slowly knelt down, lowered his head and said, "Greetings to Grandfather."

"Get up and go to see your mother." Leng Ze said with a faint expression as if he looked at Nangong Wan.

Nangong Wan stood up slowly, lowered her head and said, "My mother is dead."

"I don't understand the rules!" The middle-aged woman beside Leng Lie's side looked dark, "Listen, I'm the real wife, your biological mother, Nangong Li, is the side room!"

The matter is already very obvious. Leng Lie and this woman have two children older than Nangong Night, which has already explained everything.

Nangong Wan did not speak, Leng Lie made a statement to smooth things over: "Madam, Wan'er just returned home, I guess she has many discomforts. Don't be as familiar with her."

"Dad, the third sister is not unacceptable, she is not polite and uneducated!" Another girl in the room snorted. Her face was arrogant, and her eyes fell on Jin Liancheng's face from time to time, with an unknown light flashing in her eyes. And when she looked at Nangong Wan's beautiful face, the jealousy and badness in her eyes could not be concealed.

"Okay!" Leng Ze said, "There are still guests here, don't have unnecessary disputes, you're just making jokes! King Jin, please sit down!"

Jin Liancheng nodded slightly and sat in the empty seat on the left, while Nangong Wan sat opposite him.

"I Leng Ze is the head of the Leng family." Leng Ze said to Jin Liancheng, "Welcome the King of Jin to visit the Leng family."

"Thank you for the hospitality of the Leng family." Jin Liancheng said with a smile.

"Please stay at the Leng family with peace of mind. If you have any questions, just speak up." Leng Ze looked at Jin Liancheng and said.

"It's easy to say." Jin Liancheng nodded.

"The King of Jin can walk around the Leng family at will, but there is a forbidden area in the back mountain. I hope the King of Jin will not step on foot." Leng Ze said with a serious expression.

Jin Liancheng felt very strange in his heart. Before Leng Lie brought him here, he said that there was a deal to do with him and asked him to marry Nangong Wan. However, when he arrived at the Leng family and met the head of the Leng family, no one asked him to marry Nangong Wan again. The Leng family was very polite to him, and relatively speaking, Nangong Wan seemed to have been ignored.

The strangest thing is that Leng Ze does not need to mention that the forbidden area in the back mountain cannot be stepped on. Leng Lie can just tell Jin Liancheng this kind of thing, and even let his servants tell Jin Liancheng. Leng Ze's words are as if he wants to deliberately arouse Jin Liancheng's curiosity about the forbidden area in the back mountain.

Jin Liancheng nodded as usual: "Please rest assured, head of the Leng family, you won't walk around."

"Feng'er treats King Jin well, and Ling'er takes good care of Wan'er." Leng Ze looked at Leng Yufeng and Leng Yuling, who were sitting on the right.

"Yes, grandfather." Leng Yufeng nodded seriously, but Leng Yuling looked at Nangong Wan with a bad expression, and did not speak.

Leng Ze left quickly, Leng Lie and his wife also left. Leng Lie did not explain to Nangong Wan why Nangong Li became his side room. In fact, there is no need to explain it. As long as you are not stupid, you can guess what happened back then. It is just that Leng Lie already has a wife and has both children, he deceived Nangong Li and became the son-in-law of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the

As for whether Leng Li really liked Nangong Li back then, or had ulterior motives to get close to Nangong Li, the latter is more likely. After more than ten years, Leng Li suddenly found Nangong Wan back, saying that it was out of father-daughter relationship, and Nangong Wan didn't believe it.

In the pavilion next to the waterfall behind the Wuming Villa, there is snow all around, and a pot of wine is warming inside the pavilion. The kind-hearted old man is playing chess with him.

Leng Ze appeared in the pavilion, knelt on one knee, and shouted respectfully: "Lord!"

"Aze, I have said it many times, there is no need to be polite." The old man smiled and looked at Leng Ze, "Sit down and accompany me in the next game."

"Yes." Leng Ze completely lost the majesty he had in the main hall. He sat down opposite the old man with a respectful expression and played chess with the old man.

The game of chess ended soon, Leng Ze lost. He lowered his eyes slightly and said, "No one can match the chess skills of lord."

"No, I have lost once." The old man cleaned up the chess game with a faint expression, "I lost to one of my disciples."

Leng Ze didn't say anything, the old man looked at him and asked, "Is he here?"

"Yes, the person the lord is looking for has arrived last night and is now in the villa." Leng Ze said respectfully, "Do you want to invite him to pay homage to your lord?"

"No need." The old man shook his head slightly, "I will see him when he should."

"As the lord's instructions, the subordinates have already raised the forbidden area in the back mountain in front of him." Leng Ze said.

"Okay." The old man nodded, "Is there still no news in the Beimo Kingdom?"

Leng Ze sighed deeply: "Lord, all the people in all directions are missing. It is probably a lot of danger. But this just shows that the Cang clan of the Divine Soldier Sect really exists, and its strength cannot be underestimated. However, that treasure place may have been destroyed, and the treasure may have fallen into the hands of descendants of the Cang clan. It is not easy for us to find it."

"The Cang clan is indeed not simple, but if they really get shocking wealth, they won't be able to hide for long." The old man said calmly, "Those wealth will amplify their desires, encourage their courage, and make them unwilling to hide in the dark again."

"What the lord said is that his subordinates will closely monitor all clues about the Divine Soldier Sect." Leng Ze said respectfully.

"You go and find a box of good jade to bring it over." The old man said to Leng Ze.

"Yes." Leng Ze left after he finished speaking.

The old man glanced at the wind and snow outside the pavilion, then withdrew his gaze, took the wine cooked on the stove next to him, and began to drink alone.

On that day, Mu Yan received a large box of various jades, and then she told the old woman that she needed a new knife, and the old woman also brought it to her according to her request.

After a few days, Mu Yan was as usual, and she carved a new thing every day, and all of them were sent to Xiao Xinghan's master through the old woman.

Mu Yan learned his carving skills from Qi Ying, and she was better than her. She was very careful about this. Everything she carved was not ordinary, but she never carved portraits. What she carved was either landscape or birds or animals.

Mu Yan has no women's clothing to wear, and her disguise is not made by herself, so she is not allowed to wash it off. She is very calm about this. She no longer plays chess with Xiao Xinghan's master, goes to bed early and gets up early, and is addicted to carving in her spare time.

Jin Liancheng, who was visiting Wuming Villa, was already in good health, and he was indeed treated as a distinguished guest, especially Leng Yuling, the second lady of Wuming Villa, who was very enthusiastic about Jin Liancheng.

Jin Liancheng could tell at a glance that Leng Yuling fell in love with him, but his disgust for Leng Yuling was even more serious than Nangong Wan. At least Nangong Wan was a bit beautiful. Leng Yuling did not inherit Leng Lie's beauty. She looked more like her mother. In Jin Liancheng's eyes, she was simply an ugly woman.
