Chapter 329 Sunflower Ancestor
The autumn breeze blows, bringing dry and cool feeling.

The setting sun shines obliquely on the ground, making the fallen leaves on the ground appear more orange-red and brightly colored.

The afterglow of sunset brings a strong sense of autumn, and the most beautiful time of the year is autumn.

Yue Lingshan stood beside the carriage, waiting and waiting, and finally saw the familiar figure.

Just as Mu Gaoweng was about to step forward, Yue Lingshan rushed over first. She looked at the slightly embarrassed Ou Zanghua, and her eyes were red with distress: "Brother Ou, are you injured? I saw some medicine on the carriage. Let me help you over!"

"Thank you, Junior Sister Yue, I can do it myself." Ou Zanghua declined with a smile and walked towards the carriage.

As for Yu Huatian, he went to find Taoist Wang Chengwu and asked the other party to withdraw the artillery battalion.

Yue Lingshan followed him into the carriage, and after seeing Ou Zanghua's bloody left arm, she immediately took out the gauze and healing medicine.

"Junior Sister Yue, I can do it myself!"

"Brother Ou"

Yue Lingshan paused, lowered her head, tears glistening in her eyes, like pearls falling from a string, silently falling to the ground: "Why don't you want to look at me more?"

Ou Zanghua looked a little unnatural, and could only say: "I saw you."

Yue Lingshan slowly raised her eyes, and those eyes, which were as clear as a deep pool and as tender as autumn water, were filled with loneliness and sorrow. They were like the most exquisite gemstones in the world, shining faintly in the dim light, but shrouded in a layer of delicate and hazy sadness.

At this moment, Yue Lingshan recalled what Dongfang Bubai said last night when he was disappointed with his friend: In this short life, everything will be lost in the end. You might as well be bolder, love someone, climb a mountain, and chase a dream.

Yue Lingshan was absolutely certain that Ou Zanghua was the person she loved, the mountain she wanted to climb, and the dream she wanted to pursue.

She mustered up her courage and spoke softly but clearly: "Brother Ou, I like you!"

Ou Zanghua was stunned by her sudden confession and was at a loss for a moment.

Then he realized what was going on and asked, "So you protected Qingqing yesterday just to help me?"

"Um"

Yue Lingshan nodded and whispered, "I think if Junior Sister Qingqing was abducted, Senior Brother Ou would be very sad. So, I..."

After hearing this, Ou Zanghua couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.

Just as Yue Lingshan said, if Liu Qing met with an accident and was abducted, given Ou Zanghua's current status and what he would do in the future, some people would not let go of this topic and would definitely make up all kinds of absurd stories.

Ou Zanghua might be able to laugh off these rumors, but for Liu Qing, they might be an unbearable burden.

After all, unofficial history may not be true, but it is definitely unofficial.

Therefore, the weight of this favor cannot be measured in words, nor can it be repaid with ordinary things.

The carriage moved slowly, and the muscular horses' hooves alternately splashed up fine dust, which was then gently blown away by the evening breeze. The wheels made a steady and rhythmic "creaking" sound with each rotation, and the sound echoed on the empty road.

Yue Lingshan only felt that her heartbeat was getting more and more intense like the beat of a drum, and Ou Zanghua's silence was like a touch of ice in winter, which not only made the air around her freeze, but also made her heartbroken.

Ou Zanghua sighed secretly, unbuttoned his clothes, pulled out his injured left arm, and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister Yue, for treating my wound."

Yue Lingshan's expression flashed a trance, and she was gently struck by the sudden joy. After recovering from her trance, her eyes flashed with an irrepressible light of surprise.

With a soft "hmm", her cheeks unconsciously flushed with a light blush, like a peach blossom. Seeing the shocking four-inch long scar on Ou Zanghua's arm, Yue Lingshan's heart suddenly tightened, and her eyes turned slightly red again.

She cleaned the blood from the edge of the wound gently and carefully, being cautious with every move.

Seeing Ou Zanghua trying to endure the pain, she said with a trembling and indignant voice: "How could Dongfang Bubai be so cruel? Will such a long wound affect Brother Ou's writing?"

"It's okay. I can write with both hands, and my dominant hand is my right hand." Ou Zanghua smiled. He didn't feel any pain when he was injured during the fight, but now when he sat down to treat the wound, the pain rushed straight to his forehead. In order not to lose face, he had to grit his teeth and endure it.

After applying the healing medicine, the cool feeling temporarily relieved the burning pain of the wound. Yue Lingshan carefully bandaged the wound with a clean cloth.

Then, under Ou Zanghua's command, she turned around and took out a dark crane cloak from the cabinet beside her and put it on. It not only added a bit of elegant temperament, but also cleverly covered up the bloodstains remaining on the clothes, as if nothing had happened.

After treating the wound, Yue Lingshan hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Brother Ou, what happened to Dongfang Bubai in the end? Did he escape without a trace?"

Ou Zanghua's eyes flashed with regret, and he said slowly: "Although he was better than me, he died with a smile on his face. I have asked Instructor Yu to prepare a coffin for him, intending to bury him beside the Medicine King Temple so that he can rest in peace."

"died?!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, unable to believe that this master who was once hailed as the best in the world had disappeared so suddenly.

She sighed softly, feeling mixed emotions. After pondering for a moment, she said with some regret: "Brother Ou, actually Dongfang Bubai taught me a few martial arts last night. He was kind to me. Can I go and burn some incense for him? I hope he can get what he wants in his next life and become a real woman."

After hearing this, Ou Zanghua nodded and said calmly: "If Junior Sister Yue has this intention, then go ahead and do it!"

Because no one understands Dongfang Bubai better than him!
"Thank you, Brother Ou!"

Yue Lingshan looked at Ou Zanghua with bright eyes. She really liked Brother Ou who supported and understood her like this!

So, she quietly moved her body, and gently and inadvertently, she moved a little closer to Ou Zanghua.

She felt that the current situation was good, sitting with Senior Brother Ou, even if they just exchanged a few words or smiled at each other occasionally, it was a happy time that she cherished.

"By the way, what martial arts did Dongfang Bubai teach you?"

"Sunflower acupuncture point pressing hand, sunflower acupuncture point releasing hand, and Huifeng Wuliu body movement."

After hearing this, Ou Zanghua's expression revealed a hint of subtlety. Could it be that he had accidentally created the Sunflower Pie?
“Senior Brother Ou, is there something wrong?” Yue Lingshan asked when she saw Ou Zanghua had a strange expression on his face.

"Nothing, just practice well."

Ou Zanghua smiled and added: "If there is a child named Bai who comes to you in the future, you should accept him as your disciple!"

"what??"

Yue Lingshan looked a little silly, but thinking of Ou Zanghua's vast knowledge of astronomy and geography, she thought that maybe he had calculated the future through some method!

The noise outside the carriage gradually increased, and Ou Zanghua knew that some things had to be resolved.

He looked at Yue Lingshan and said seriously, "Junior Sister Yue, I am very happy that you like me. But I am already married. I will tell Qingqing about this after I return home. Please wait for me."

Yue Lingshan looked a little nervous and conflicted. She always felt that she was sorry for Liu Qing, but she absolutely could not give up.

She looked up at Senior Brother Ou. She believed that the smart Senior Brother Ou would handle these things.
