Jiu Yan raised a sarcastic smile. "What kind of man prefers these novelties to the battleground? Only women do such things. But you do have a prettier face than most women."

Murong Xue shook her head. "You don't know about literary people."

Feng Ziling walked over and asked, "Mu Tian, you like this stuff?"

Murong Xue nodded and answered, "I'm in love with it." Looking at the little rabbit in her hand, she thought of Huangfu Yi, who would have compared himself with the novelty and asked her to choose him instead of the rabbit if he had been here.

Murong Xue was amused by what she pictured in her mind. With a chuckle, her eyes grew red. She could not stop missing Huangfu Yi the moment she thought of him.

Feng Ziling asked with a worried face, "What's wrong?"

"It reminds me of someone I love." The tears in the corners of her eyes were touching.

Seeing her expression, Feng Ziling and Jiu Yan both changed their faces.

Feng Ziling asked, "You are in love with someone?"

Murong Xue wiped tears off the corners of her eyes. "Yes. Didn't I tell you that? I miss my love."

Feng Ziling clenched his fists and failed to ask more. Seeing Mu Tian's red eyes, Feng Ziling wondered what kind of person the woman Mu Tian loved and cared so much about would be.

Feng Ziling never dared to think about becoming the one for Mu Tian, but he really wanted to stand by Mu Tian's side all the time. It never occurred to him that Mu Tian would meet someone and start a family and thus there would be no proper place for him to stay by Mu Tian's side then.

Jiu Yan stopped smiling and asked, "The woman you love, what kind of person is she?"

"She is aggressive, unapproachable, and a little childish. She is very caring and sweet most of the time. She always knows what I want and I'm happy with her." Murong Xue seemed unable to stop talking when it was about Huangfu Yi. Since they were separated, she had been missing him.

"Enough. Let's find an inn and rest." The more Jiu Yan heard, the more impatient he became. He turned his head and walked away.

Murong Xue had a look of incomprehension on her face and wondered why Jiu Yan reacted like this. She was in the zone and she had more to tell them as people seldom asked her about it and talking about Huangfu Yi could give her some comfort.

Standing aside, Feng Ziling opened his mouth. "Is she really that good?"

Murong Xue nodded. "Maybe she is not the greatest person in the world, but I love her most."

Murong Xue's face was glowing with happiness now. Seeing this, Feng Ziling found it ridiculous that he had mistaken his sister for his rival in love. Now he knew that someone had beaten him a long time ago.

Murong Xue asked worriedly, "You all right? Your face is pale. Is it the injury?"

Feng Ziling recovered from his surprise suddenly and shook his head. "Nothing. Maybe the sun is too strong. Let's go inside the inn."

Feng Ziling and Jiu Yan had been silent since that day. They used to argue a lot, but they stopped talking to each other now.

Sitting in the carriage, Murong Xue looked at the two silent men and she could not bear it finally. "You aren't talking to each other now. Why? Did you bicker again?"

"Nobody would bicker with him."

"Nobody would bicker with him."

Seeing them answer in one voice, Murong Xue knew something had happened between the two. "Tell me what happened. Why don't we talk this through?"

"There is nothing I need to talk about with him." Jiu Yan picked up a book and started reading.

Meanwhile, Feng Ziling revealed the curtain to appreciate the scenery outside. Both of them ignored Mu Tian.

In fact, they just did not know what to say when faced with Mu Tian. They would think of the person Mu Tian loved whatever they wanted to say now.

Murong Xue rolled her eyes and decided to ignore them as well. Walking out of the carriage, she chose to have small talk with the guards. She still wore a wide-brimmed hat to cover her hair because of the high traffic in the city.

After a couple of days, they arrived at Prince Yan's residence. The moment Murong Xue got off the carriage, she was stunned by the beautiful girls standing in front of her.

"Welcome home, my Lord." There were lines of guards and beautiful maids in front of the residence.

The hurrah astounded Murong Xue. As she expected, it was ancient times. The rules of etiquette were different from the ones of the dynasties she was familiar with, but it was not widely different.

Jiu Yan raised his hand and said, "Now rise." He took the lead and walked into his residence.

Murong Xue looked at Jiu Yan contemptuously as he behaved in a domineering way.

After Jiu Yan was out of sight, the people on their knees stood up slowly. Murong Xue had nothing to say about the rules of etiquette as she knew different dynasties had different rules. She was not naive enough to judge this with modern values.

However, if she was asked to kneel down, she did not think she could do it.

Jiu Yan went straight to his study and the butler followed him. Feng Ziling and Murong Xue did the same.

"Fu, make proper accommodations for the two. Let them live in Snow Garden." Jiu Yan began to go through the papers on the desk and he ordered the butler without looking up.

"Yes, my Lord." Fu bowed reverently and he felt stunned. Prince Yan never let anyone live in Snow Garden, so Fu wondered who the two guests were and why they deserved such an honor.

Fu turned around and asked respectfully, "This way, please."

Murong Xue nodded and followed Fu.

The residence had a fantastic view and occupied a wide area, which seemed boundless. Numerous picturesque pavilions and tasteful rockeries with waterfalls provided a relaxing atmosphere. After a while, they arrived at a courtyard.

A plaque read: "Snow Garden", and the two words were very calligraphic. Inside the courtyard, there was a wood full of white flowers on shiny branches. With a breeze, the petals were floating down as if it had been snowing in the winter. Now why this place was called Snow Garden was self-evident.

Murong Xue did not know the trees planted here. Coming from another world, she was used to seeing peculiar things. Moreover, she had seen many stranger species on the Fengyun Continent.

Fu guided them into the courtyard and introduced everything about Snow Garden. There were five compounds in total and each compound had its own main house and other rooms.

After finishing the introduction, Fu made a bow to them and said, "Please inform me if you need anything. I'll leave you in peace now."

Murong Xue nodded and answered out of habit, "Thank you, Fu." She heard how Jiu Yan called him just now.

Surprise flashed in Fu's eyes, but he managed to suppress it very quickly. "You are kind to say so, sir."

After Fu left, Murong Xue and Feng Ziling entered one room immediately.

Murong Xue said, "Ziling, keep watch. I'm going to enter the Space and ask Xiaobai about the situation." Since they were living in someone else's house, it was better for them to stay alert in case others came in and interrupted them.

Feng Ziling answered with a nod. "Okay. You do it. Don't worry. I won't let anyone come in."

They knew each other so well that they were like family. Murong Xue spared him courtesies and entered the Space.

Murong Xue went straight to the fruit grove, the place Xiaobai often visited. When she arrived, Xiaobai was gorging. It was hard to look at its chubby body.

"What else do you like except eating?" Murong Xue picked up Xiaobai with a helpless face.

Taking a bite of the fruit, Xiaobai asked, "What's wrong with you? Keep on like this, and you'll end up being a crazy person."

Murong Xue hit Xiaobai on the head. "It's an emergency on top of an emergency. Why do you still feel at ease? You must be a pig in your previous life."

"What emergency? You look fine."

"We don't know where we are now, and my spiritual power is gone. Do you know what's going on?"

Hearing this, Xiaobai finally put down the fruit. "What? Try to gather your spiritual power now. Let me have a look."

Murong Xue tried to gather her spiritual power, but she had lost faith in it. However, her spiritual power was successfully gathered in her palms this time. She waved her palm towards the distant place and the rocks burst asunder. She could not believe what she saw. "Eh, my spiritual power is back?"

Xiaobai looked at her and said, "Everything seems fine."

"But I failed again and again before." Since her spiritual power was back, she got out of the Space.

Feng Ziling was surprised when Murong Xue came back in a few seconds. "Why are you so quick?"

Murong Xue cheered, "Ziling, I regain my spiritual power." She tried to gather her spiritual power, but she changed her face the next second. She failed, but she had done it in the Space just now.

Feng Ziling asked happily, "What? Your spiritual power is back?"

Murong Xue shook her head and answered, "I must be mistaken. Keep watch." She disappeared.

The moment Murong Xue entered the Space, her spiritual power was back. She grabbed Xiaobai. "What's going on, Xiaobai? Why my spiritual power works here but disappears outside the Space?"

Xiaobai stopped eating. "Where are you now? It's not the Fengyun Continent outside?"

Murong Xue shook her head. "No. Things have been a little hectic. I told you we passed out on the way down when we tried to survey the bottom of the cliff. When we woke up, we were in a different time and our spiritual power was gone."
