"Xue Bao, you're too moved, aren't you?" Lan Ning held her face in his hands, looked down at the tears on her face, and then used his finger to gently wipe them away.

Xue Bao was startled by his sudden action and hastily pulled his hand away. He casually wiped away the tears on his face and embarrassedly smiled. "I'm sorry. I just saw that he looked like a relative of mine, so …"

She suddenly turned towards the staff member at the side and seriously asked, "May I ask if this painting can be sold? I want it. "

The staff member lowered his head apologetically. "I'm sorry, the things here are not for sale. No matter how much it costs!"

"Oh …" Xue Bao was greatly disappointed, reluctantly looking at Yue Ye's portrait. She really wanted this painting. Was it because he had some resemblance to Yan Junyi? She smiled wryly to herself.

At this moment, the staff member's voice sounded out from behind him, "My friends, please come over here."

Lan Ning pulled Xue Bao's hand and laughed: "Let's go."

The staff led everyone to another palace. It was smaller than the main hall, and also grand and bizarre. What was different was that there was a circular pool of water in the middle of the pond. It was actually red, like blood!

Ever since he had met Yan Junyi, Xue Bao was especially sensitive to blood. When he saw this pool, his heart suddenly throbbed.

The staff member smiled and said, "Did you see that? The water in the pool is red. Legend has it that you can see the bottom clearly. However, on the 15th of the month, the full moon, the water will strangely turn red and reflect the moonlight. Of course … "This is only a legend." The staff member chuckled. "Everyone, you can look up at the ceiling. The ceiling is blocked by a stone wall, so it's impossible for moonlight to shine in, right?"

Xue Bao looked up along with the others. Yes, it was impossible for the moon to shine in! Legends, everything was just legends!

"Legend has it that the color of the water would turn blood-red. It was the ancestor of Yueyue who warned her how much blood had flowed from her body. When Yueyue was killed, it just so happened to be the 15th, and the water in the pool would never return to its original color. It's still red even now." The staff member deliberately emphasized the words' legendary '. It was obvious that she did not believe these things were true!

When Xue Bao saw that the water flowing out from the channel in the corner was really red, she couldn't help but cry out in alarm. Seeing her shocked expression, Lin Jian laughed: "Little girl, you really believe me? It's just a matter of lighting. If you don't believe me, you can go out and take a look in a jar. "

"Is that really possible? Isn't this too disrespectful to Yue Ye? " Xue Bao really wanted to give it a try, but in the end, he resisted. Staring at the pool of blood, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Had Yue Ye really been killed on the 15th? Yan Junyi had the illness on the fifteenth, how could there be such a coincidence in the world!

Under the guidance of the staff members, the students had toured the entire underground palace. However, there was one area where the staff members said that there were too many treasures to tour, and that was the Empress' temporary sleeping quarters.

Xue Bao felt very regretful, but she couldn't do anything about it even if she had to die. By the time she finished visiting, it was already 8 pm. The students were walking outside the underground palace as they discussed whether to barbeque or play games.

A girl looked at the disk-like moon in the sky and said excitedly, "Look at the full moon today, how about we barbecue in the garden and dance all night?"

"Alright, alright!" A large number of male students and female students applauded the girls' advances! Laughing, he walked back to the vacation house.

The girl's words made Xue Bao's steps suddenly slow as he abruptly raised his head. Far In the Sky... The disk-shaped moon emitted a gentle and beautiful light that illuminated the entire mountain forest.

Panic instantly surged within his heart, and his face turned pale from shame.

Lin Jian who was walking in front suddenly realized that there was nothing around him. He turned his head around and saw Xue Bao staring intently at the full moon while smiling merrily, "Xue Bao, what happened to you? Haven't you seen the moon in the suburbs? "

That round moon seemed to have been chanted, as it tightly attracted Xue Bao's attention. After sobbing for a bit, she asked in a daze. "Lin Jian, what day is it today?" She never paid attention to the date!

"It's the 15th today. Are you stupid?" Lin Jian smiled and knocked on her head.

15th! Full moon night! Xue Bao's brain rumbled. That was the day Yan Junyi was going to suffer! Suddenly, he had the desire to immediately rush to his side and stay by his side, guarding him!

He thought back to three days ago when she had asked him to come visit the Moon God Hall. He looked at her sad and helpless expression. At that time, she should have thought about what day it was today!

Xue Bao suddenly turned around, stared at Lin Jian and said earnestly: "Lin Jian! I want to go home! "Go back immediately!" Then, he turned around and dashed back toward his home.

Even though she knew that she didn't have a car to go back to, she still stubbornly wanted to go home. She didn't have the mood to think about whether she could rely on her two legs to run back to the Ning City. He only had one thought in his heart, and that was to return to his side!

Had her feelings for Yan Junyi reached such a depth? No! She was only moved by Yue Ye, moved by the Moon God! Yan Junyi and Yue Ye, these two were different, but their godlike faces intertwined in her mind, entangled with each other.

"Xue Bao!" Lin Jian was shocked, he immediately chased after her, and shouted at the same time: "Are you crazy? No car back now! What's wrong with you, stop right now! "

The students, who had been laughing and laughing, were completely stunned by the two figures that frantically ran past them. They stared at them in astonishment as they ran further and further away.

Xue Bao seemed to be unable to hear Lin Jian's shouts as he crazily ran about. The bright moonlight illuminated the path beneath her feet. In her entire life, she had never hated this bright moon so much!

"Baby …" Lin Jian finally caught up and grabbed her arm to force her to stop. He said anxiously: "Baby, what happened to you? What are you getting so crazy about? "

"I want to go back, I want to go back now!" Xue Bao looked up at Lin Jian who was one head taller than her, and cried loudly. Under the moonlight, the teardrops on her face shone with a sparkling and translucent brilliance, illuminating the resolute look on her face!

"Tell me why?" Lin Jian panicked and worriedly wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes as he continued to ask.

Xue Bao was only tearing, and did not want to answer his question. He twisted his arm, broke away from his palm, and turned around to leave. Lin Jian held her back quickly, and stared at her: "Alright, I will walk with you, and accompany you!"

No matter what she wanted to do, he would accompany her. Since she didn't want to tell him the reason, then he would not ask her anymore!

Xue Bao bit on his lips, staring at Lin Jian with his teary eyes, then turned and walked away. No matter what, Lin Jian would always be good to her, and indulge her willfulness like a blood brother!

The two of them had only walked a few steps when that silver white car that Xue Bao seemed familiar with squeaked and stopped beside Xue Bao. Lan Ning rolled down the window and said to Xue Bao: "Xue Bao, get on, I'll send you back."

Xue Bao and Lin Jian were stunned at the same time. If this was in the past, Xue Bao would definitely not trouble others this much. He opened the door and entered the car, the car drove away, leaving Lin Jian standing in his original position!

From time to time, Lan Ning would look at Xue Bao in the rear-view mirror. Seeing her anxious and restless, he could not help but ask: "Xue Bao, what's wrong?" Why did she suddenly have to go back? Wasn't she fine just now?

Xue Bao had already calmed down a little. He looked at Lan Ning and said apologetically: "Senior, can you not ask me this question? "Thank you for being willing to send me back. I am truly grateful. In the future, I will definitely repay all the trouble I have brought you with me."

Lan Ning laughed, glanced at her and said: "There's no need to repay her, just wipe the tears on your face and rest up." Since she wouldn't say, he wouldn't ask. Returning to the Ning City from here would take at least five hours, and he was afraid that she would lose her sanity!

"Yes, thank you." Xue Bao thanked her once again as he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. If she was told to face such a thoughtful Lan Ning, she didn't know what to say anymore.

The figure of Yan Junyi appeared in his mind once again. Where was he now? What are you doing...?

After flying for four to five hours, the car finally stopped safely outside of the Yan Residence's iron gates. The two people inside the car looked around at the majestic and large Yan Family Residence in the darkness.

Xue Bao turned around. She had already completely calmed down and said gratefully to Lan Ning, "Senior, thank you for sending me back. I'll be going in first.

Lan Ning sized up the huge house in front of him, and felt a great sense of pressure in his heart. He opened his mouth a little and said in a daze: "Xue Bao, do you live here everyday? Have you ever been afraid? "

Xue Bao looked at him in surprise. Could it be that he also felt that this mansion looked very terrifying? Afraid? Of course she was. Almost every day she passed it in a state of tension. One day, she would really go crazy!

However, she still shook her head, "I'm not afraid. If I don't do something shameful, wouldn't I be afraid of knocking on the door?" After saying that, Xue Bao smiled at him and pushed open the door to get out. Then he waved goodbye and the car drove away.

Standing outside the Yan Residence's gates, Xue Bao's figure seemed so tiny as he quietly sized up the huge house that exuded a mysterious aura. Under the moonlight, it was as though he was in an illusory world.

The mansion was very quiet. It was almost one o'clock, so shouldn't the servants be sleeping? Old Master Yan and Mr. Yan also went to sleep? Were they sleeping on this full moon night?

"Young Madam, you're back?" The doorman greeted him politely.

"Yes." Xue Bao responded, then stared at them and asked, "Where is Eldest Young Master now?"

A trace of fear flashed across the guard's face as he replied respectfully, "Eldest Young Master is in the north courtyard." Then, he paused for a moment before pouting, "It's best not to go to Young Madam. Eldest Young Master he …" The following words transformed into a soft sigh.
