After arriving at the stream, Ye Fan pulled out his Snake Shadow Sword and waved it at the stream.
Whoosh! A huge block of ice had formed on the surface of the creek that was several feet wide. Ye Fan broke off a block of ice and wrapped it in a handkerchief. Then, he took out a smooth, oval-shaped rock from the stream and went back the way he came.
Succubus was leaning against a tree. She was in a daze as tears rolled down her cheeks. When she saw Ye Fan return from afar, she immediately wiped her tears with her sleeve.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" Ye Fan asked as he sat across from Succubus.
Succubus nodded. Her eyes were still red.
"That's good." Ye Fan said as he put the block of ice next to him. Then, he used his Snake Shadow Sword to cut the rock.
"What are you doing?" Succubus asked.
"You're too weak right now. I'm going to get you some water." Ye Fan said as the rock in his hand was cut into the shape of a bowl by the Snake Shadow Sword.
"Okay." Ye Fan looked at his work and smiled, "Now I have something to drink water with."
"No need to go through so much trouble. Just the ice will do." Succubus said.
"You're …" Ye Fan frowned and said with a red face, "You can't drink cold water right now." When he took the succubus's pulse just now, he was keenly aware of the succubus's blood. He was already a member of a family, so he knew this common sense.
Succubus heard Ye Fan's words and her face turned red.
"How far are we from the Cuiming Hall?" Ye Fan changed the topic. As he spoke, he used his sword to dig a hole in the ground. Then, he used some broken branches to fill the hole.
"Not far." Succubus lowered her head and said, "About a few dozen miles away."
"Oh." As Ye Fan spoke, he took out a match from his bosom and lit the broken twigs. Then, he placed the stone bowl on top of the fire. Then, he took out the ice from his handkerchief and put it into the bowl. Then, he started fanning the flames with his hands.
The ice in the stone bowl began to melt.
At the same time, Succubus's heart also melted.
"Are … are you okay?" Succubus asked when he saw how cautious Ye Fan was.
"Hmm?" Ye Fan turned to look at Succubus while fanning the flames. He was puzzled. "Me? What business do I have? "
"Were you hurt by that bastard?" Succubus asked.
"Oh, you mean that?" Ye Fan turned his head and continued fanning the fire. "I'm fine. It's no big deal."
"At that time, I thought you were already … already …" Succubus didn't say the word 'dead'.
"You thought I was dead, right?" Ye Fan laughed.
"Okay," Succubus replied.
"If I were dead, who would save you? Idiot … "Ye Fan stopped and didn't finish his sentence. Idiot wasn't a word that could be used on just anyone.
"Why did you save me?" Succubus asked Ye Fan softly. "Because I saved your wife?"
Ye Fan looked back at Succubus and smiled. "That's one of the reasons. But even if you didn't save Chiko, I couldn't just sit back and do nothing."
"Why?" Succubus asked.
"Because you're a good person, and that bastard is a bad person." Ye Fan continued fanning the fire. "Good people should be saved, and bad people should be killed."
"You think I'm a good person?" Succubus continued to ask.
"At first, I thought that the people in Cuiming Hall weren't good people." Ye Fan started to add more firewood to the fire. "Then, I met Master Cui, you, and the Three Guardians. Only then did I realize that I was too naive."
"If I didn't save your wife, you wouldn't know that I'm a good person. Would you not have saved me today?" Succubus asked.
"Then I would still have saved you," Ye Fan said.
"Why?" Succubus didn't expect Ye Fan to say that.
"It's very simple." Ye Fan smiled and turned to look at Succubus. "Because he's a bad person."
Succubus smiled. It was the first time she smiled so happily ever since she started to understand things.
"There's something I don't understand. I just can't figure it out," Ye Fan said as he added more firewood.
"What's the matter?" Succubus asked.
"Of all the names Master Cui could have given his sect, why did he name it Cuiming Hall?" Ye Fan said as he looked at Succubus. "Of all the names the Four Guardians could have given it, why did they have to name it Chi Mei Wang Liang? If it was a cult, it wouldn't be a big deal. But it's clearly not a cult, so why did they give it such an evil name? "
Succubus smiled. "You don't know much about our Hierarch, so naturally, you don't understand the reason behind it."
"I've heard about him," Ye Fan said. "I know that he was wronged."
"Since you know about it, then you should understand how much our Hierarch hates those evil people," Succubus said. "The Hierarch once swore that he would kill all the evil people in the world. These names are to warn those evil people to do more good and not do evil. Otherwise, they will attract the wrath of the Ghost God, and they will reap what they sow. "
"So that's how it is." Ye Fan was enlightened after hearing what the succubus said.
"Do you understand now?" Succubus asked.
"There's one more thing that I don't understand." Ye Fan continued to ask. "I heard that Master Cui once made three gold coins. If anyone can get one of them, they can ask Cuiming Hall to help them fulfill a wish."
"That's true," Succubus said, nodding.
"Isn't Master Cui afraid that the gold coins will fall into the wrong hands?" Ye Fan asked. "If that's the case, will Cuiming Hall help the evildoers?"
"Haha," Succubus laughed. "Master has already thought about your question. To tell you the truth, only two of the three gold coins are circulating in Jianghu."
"Two?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled. "What about the other one?"
"It's in the hands of the Master," Succubus said meaningfully.
"It's in the hands of the Master?" Ye Fan seemed to understand the mystery. "Could it be …"
The succubus nodded with a smile. "The headmaster was afraid that the situation you described would happen, so he specially kept one in his hand. If a gold coin fell into the hands of an evil person, then the headmaster could use his gold coin to offset the gold coin in the hands of the evil person."
"Offset?" Ye Fan asked, "How is it offset?"
"Isn't it simple?" Succubus said. "If an evil person comes to Cuiming Hall with the gold coin to help kill someone, then the Master can say that he has also received the other person's gold coin. They'll cancel each other out and they won't owe each other anything."
"I understand." Ye Fan laughed. "That's a really good idea."
Succubus smiled. "Actually, the Master's intention in making these three gold coins is to give the good people in the world a chance, or rather, a hope."
"I heard that on one side of the gold coin, it's written 'Urge Death' and on the other side, it's written 'Ease and Happiness'," Ye Fan continued to ask. What does that mean? "
"Urge Death is Ease and Happiness," Succubus said calmly. "If the evil person is urged to Urge Death, the good person will naturally be Ease and Happiness."
"Well said." Ye Fan said as he took the boiling water from the fire. "After hearing what you said, I think the name Cuiming Hall is really good."
Succubus smiled and didn't say anything.
"Drink some water." Ye Fan picked up the stone bowl and blew on it. Then, he handed it to Succubus. "Be careful, it's hot."
Succubus took the water and gently took a sip.
"You rest for a while. I'll carry you back to Cuiming Hall in a while," Ye Fan said.
Succubus nodded. At this point, it was the only way.
While the two of them were talking, they suddenly saw a huge auspicious cloud rushing towards them at lightning speed. Its speed was so fast that even Ye Fan felt it was inconceivable.
"Stay here and don't move." Ye Fan frowned and stood up. "I'll go take a look." As he spoke, he prepared to fly into the sky.
"You don't have to go." Succubus struggled to stand up by holding onto a tree. "The Hierarch is here."
The Auspicious Clouds arrived in the blink of an eye and quickly descended. After the clouds dissipated, a familiar figure wearing a black robe with golden threads appeared in front of the two.
It really was Cui Ziwen!
"Your subordinate greets the Hierarch!" After seeing Cui Ziwen, Succubus knelt down on one knee and saluted. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look up at Cui Ziwen.
"Master Cui." Ye Fan saluted Cui Ziwen.
Cui Ziwen waved at Ye Fan and walked straight to Succubus, who was kneeling on one knee. He frowned and looked unhappy.
"What happened?" Cui Ziwen frowned and asked Succubus, "Where's your spiritual power?"
"Your subordinate is useless." Succubus said and lowered his head even more.
"Who did this?" Cui Ziwen asked.
"Reporting to Headmaster, it's …" The succubus hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's a demon chi."
"Your cultivation level is not below his. How did this happen?" Cui Ziwen asked coldly.
"Your subordinate is useless. I'm willing to accept any punishment." Succubus said in a low voice.
Cui Ziwen looked down at Succubus, who was kneeling in front of him, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Cui Ziwen didn't say anything, and Succubus didn't dare to say anything either. He lowered his head and continued to kneel there.
Ye Fan wanted to speak up for Succubus, but when he saw Cui Ziwen's expression, he gave up on the idea. After all, this was a matter of the Hierarch, and he couldn't interfere. Therefore, he could only stand to the side and remain silent.
Succubus, who had lost all of his spiritual power, was already very weak. After kneeling, large droplets of sweat continuously seeped out of his pale face.
