The last time he said it: When Jiang Feng fell down onto the Linyuan Valley, he was originally not allowed to live, but luckily, he was saved by the valley doctor, Xiao Muyu. He could not move despite being injured internally and externally, so he could only rest in peace.

On the morning of the third day, Xiao Muyu walked in carrying a bowl of piping hot porridge. Jiang Feng had already woken up and smelled the aroma from afar. Staring at the door, he said: "Lady Xiao, your culinary skills are superb, and I am truly impressed. Even such ordinary porridge would have such flavor on your hands!" Xiao Muyu smiled slightly, placed the bowl on the small table, and walked over to help Jiang Feng up. Leaning him against the headboard, he said: "You must be hungry, right? In the morning, I went to pick some herbs and took up some time. " Jiang Feng shook his head slightly, his face still a little pale, and said: "It's fine, I'll be troubling you instead." Xiao Muyu brought the bowl over and used a spoon to scoop up some rice porridge. She first tested the temperature of the porridge, then handed it over to Jiang Feng and said: "Come, open your mouth." Jiang Feng stretched out his hands, wanting to take it, but awkwardly said: "Lady Xiao, it's better if I take it myself." Xiao Muyu used his left hand to suppress both his hands, and said: "Stop trying to be brave. If you don't want to trouble me like this all the time, then cooperate obediently. " Jiang Feng took a deep breath and laughed bitterly: "Yes, I will remember this!" Xiao Muyu said helplessly: "You, if there's nothing else, don't be so serious." After he finished speaking, he threw a mouthful of porridge into Jiang Feng's mouth.

Ever since Jiang Feng was young, besides his mother, Madame Bai, and Huang Yue's mother, Wang Clan, no one else had ever carefully fed him with food before. At this moment, he felt a warmth that he hadn't felt in a long time. He suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Lady Xiao, please forgive this humble one for speaking too much. How did you end up living alone in this desolate valley?" Xiao Muyu's right hand which had just reached out paused for a moment. His expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal. She hesitated for a moment, then sighed. "There's nothing bad about living alone in this place. It's far from the muddy world, so please clean yourself." After hearing these words, Jiang Feng felt an additional amount of respect for her, and praised: "Even though Lady Xiao is young, she has an otherworldly expert's realm, and this humble one is impressed." Xiao Muyu seemed to be disdainful of Jiang Feng's praise, and said: "To let Solitary Love Lotus come out untainted, Zhouqing, but not Demoness, what a pity …" Jiang Feng asked curiously: "What's a pity?" Xiao Muyu laughed bitterly and said, "It's a pity that at the bottom of this Linyuan Valley, the water lotus that does not live in a holy state, the biggest wish of my life is that my dwelling be surrounded by the white lotus." Jiang Feng thought: This Lady Xiao is skilled in medicine, if she is allowed to join our Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall of Capital, it is a good thing that can only be encountered by chance but not sought for. He regained her senses and said: "Lady Xiao, since you have such a thought, why don't you leave this place and find another place to settle down?" Xiao Muyu wiped the corner of her mouth and said: "Hehe, I am just an ordinary woman. I have lived here with Master since I was very young. Master once said that the martial arts world outside is too complicated, and the hearts of the people are too dangerous. Jiang Feng asked with doubt: "Oh? May I ask where is your master? " A trace of sadness appeared in Xiao Muyu's eyes, and she slowly said: "The Master is now like a star in the sky, gazing at me every night." Jiang Feng was slightly shocked, but immediately understood and comforted: "Lady Xiao, life and death have different destinies, I believe that old senior does not wish to see you become too sad, and still has to see it happen." Xiao Muyu bit her lower lip and said faintly: "That's only natural, it's just that sometimes I miss him." Jiang Feng naturally understood her sadness, and wasn't he the same as well. When he was young, he missed his parents, and had cried on the sly countless times. He then asked, "Lady Xiao, what about your parents? Are they still alive? " Xiao Muyu turned his face away, stood up and said: "Since you want to know this much, there's nothing to hide, I'll tell you then. Eighteen years ago, my parents brought me, who was just born, to visit the matter that my grandfather had told me about. However, because of some small matters, he clashed with the Heavenly Sect disciples, and offended them. Afterwards, when we passed by the vicinity of the Heavenly Mirror Divine Lake, we were ambushed by Heavenly Sect. Both his parents were unable to fight on all fours, and were severely injured. His mother died on the spot after being set up by someone. Father did his best, but he still could not break out of the encirclement. Fortunately, my master, who was also Immortal Doctor Linyuan, was nearby to gather herbs. He had helped them, and the Heavenly Sect disciples were afraid of my master using poison, hence they did not dare to go forward. However, since his father's injuries were too severe and his mother was already dead, he no longer had any thoughts of surviving. On the second night, he passed away. However, before he died, Father told Master about my background, and even gave a letter that Grandfather personally wrote to Master. When I grew up, Master told me everything. He not only saved me and raised me, but he also taught me all the medical skills he had studied all his life, teaching me self-defense skills. However, before I am able to repay his great kindness, he … " After saying her piece, Jiang Feng saw a teardrop fall into Xiao Muyu's hands. She was crying sorrowfully and sobbing. Jiang Feng also felt a burst of pain, he immediately comforted: "Lady Xiao, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I mentioned your sad past. You have to live well, and only then will you be worthy of your parents and master's divine souls. " Xiao Muyu covered his face with her hands and ran out of the house.

Jiang Feng tried to clench his fist, and leaned his head against the wall, sighing continuously, and muttered to himself. "I really didn't think that Lady Xiao and I would actually have the same experience. No, she's even more pitiful than me. I still have Uncle Lei, Aunt Wang to take care of me when I was young, and Xiao Yue to play with me. "No, I can't let her stay in this place any longer. When my injuries are healed, I must take her away from this sadness."

After a while, Xiao Muyu returned. She seemed to have calmed down, but her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Jiang Feng did not dare to bring up those sorrowful thoughts of his again, and changed the topic, saying: "Lady Xiao, this bowl of porridge is really nice, I wonder how you made it?" Xiao Muyu looked at Jiang Feng's satisfied expression, and couldn't help but laugh through his tears: "If you dare say that it's not good, I'll poison you to death right now. I put in a lot of effort into this bowl of porridge. I first used a warm fire to simmer it down for two incense sticks to burn before I put in some herbs that would be beneficial to your wound. Thus, not only is the congee sweet and moist, it will also greatly benefit your recovery. " Jiang Feng smiled, "No wonder, but why do I not taste any medicinal herbs?" Xiao Muyu shook her finger, and smiled mysteriously: "Mountain people have their own miraculous formula, they cannot leak it out!" Jiang Feng did not question further, and suddenly asked: "Oh yes, I remember you saying that you came from the capital, I want to ask, do you know the Qing Xu Sect of the Central Plains?" Jiang Feng asked in shock: "Of course I know, Lady Xiao. You have lived here for so many years, how do you know about Qing Xu Sect of Henan?" Xiao Muyu's face revealed a smile, and said: Really? In fact, my grandfather is one of the Sect Leader's people — — Taoist Mo Feng. Three years ago, after Master passed away, I always wanted to go to the Central Plains to find Grandfather. However, Master said that the people on the outside are sinister, and that I'm a swindler. Moreover, I don't know the way, so I gave up later on. " Jiang Feng's expression immediately darkened. He wanted to say something, but hesitated before finally opening his mouth: "Lady Xiao, there's something I need to tell you … Actually, your grandfather passed away many years ago. " Hearing this, Xiao Muyu's face turned ugly, but she did not cry again. She only lowered her head in grief and said faintly: "Hehe, it's alright, I had already guessed it, it's just that I did not want to admit it, and did not dare face it!" She first helped Jiang Feng lie down, then carried away the bowl and chopsticks filled with porridge. Jiang Feng looked at Xiao Muyu's desolate back, and could not help but sigh: "The heavens are like this, they like to fool good people. Brother Shaoyang, if you were here, what words would you use to comfort your fellow sect members? "

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
