Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 922: Chapter 48: The Final Battlefield (Part 2)

Two elderly people who appeared like they were in the twilight of their years looked at Xiao Xian, the most direct victim in the whole affair, right before them.

"There’s no need anymore; a simple confession is useless now. What my grandfather has been waiting for cannot be undone by a simple purge. I will use my own way to make everything start over," Xiao Xian felt little hatred towards Zhang Lvxiao, as the root of the affair did not lie with the Wang Family. The Wang Family was merely a part of it.

"What’s your plan?" Wang Fenglei understood the intent behind Xiao Xian’s words, "You intend to use this opportunity at Cangqiong Palace."

"Yes, I’m curious about what wish you made back then when you entered Cangqiong Palace." All participants of Cangqiong Palace were informed that if they successfully completed the trial, they could receive one wish.

"My wish," Wang Fenglei appeared somewhat bewildered, after a long pause, he finally sighed and said, "My wish was to ensure the Wang Family’s prestige would last for a hundred generations."

Zhang Lvxiao was taken aback, all along she thought that deep down, Wang Fenglei’s true wish was to bring her, to bring that person, back to life.

His heart still carried the Wang Family.

"My wish is similar to Senior Wang’s," Xiao Xian saw them off, standing by the window, staring at the gray sky.

She only wanted to know, what exactly awaited her above the firmament.

The selection locations for Cangqiong Palace were soon delivered in the form of letters to each contestant.

"Huh, why can’t I see what’s written on the letter?" Yiyi ultimately did not participate in the trial; Wang Shuai, Xiao Xian, and Li Ye participated this time as representatives of Huake Institute.

"Only the participant themselves can see the contents of the letter," Xiao Xian closed the letter, silently.

"I’ll go ask Wang Shuai and Li Ye where their trial locations are?" Yiyi contacted Wang Shuai, his trial location was in Beijing. As for Li Ye, Yiyi made several calls but couldn’t reach Yezi.

"What’s going on, at the crucial moment, that kid dropped the ball," Yiyi glanced at Xiao Xian, "Xiao Xian, isn’t your trial location in Beijing too?"

"My trial location is..." Xiao Xian already knew where Yezi had gone. He must have gone to Guizhou.

Xiao Xian was not mistaken, when Yezi received the notification letter, he originally wanted to discuss it with Xiao Xian. But after seeing the location on the letter clearly, he decided to go to Guizhou first.

By the time Yezi found Xiao Xian, it was three days later.

He looked very fatigued.

"I returned to Guizhou," Xiao Xian thought Yezi went home to see Mama, father, and Niuniu.

Niuniu was Yezi’s sister.

Before Yezi could finish speaking, he unexpectedly hugged Xiao Xian, "Xiao Xian, do you know, I really like you."

Something was in Xiao Xian’s eyes, whirling around, she bit her lip.

Yezi’s embrace was warm, strong, he was no longer the mischievous ten-year-old boy.

"Yezi, I can’t, I really can’t." Xiao Xian gently placed her hand on Yezi’s back, took a deep breath; that warmth during the most difficult, helpless times from a boy, he had grown into a good man.

"Without him, could it be..." Yezi already knew this answer, he kissed Xiao Xian’s forehead before letting her go.

The Xiao Xian before him now, her eyes were only filled with tranquility.

She was as beautiful as the night sky.

Yezi always knew that Xiao Xian had a secret she was guarding, one she never opened up to him about, and he also had his secret to keep, one he couldn’t tell her.

"I know the answer now, where is your trial location this time?" Yezi switched to a lively tone, turning back into the playful Yezi.

"It’s a strange trial location, it’s in Cherry Valley," Xiao Xian shrugged, she always thought the trial at Cangqiong Palace would be in the same place.

Unexpectedly, each person’s trial location was different.

"Cherry Valley? When do you plan to leave," Yezi gripped the envelope in his pocket tightly; inside was the location of his trial.

"Tomorrow, I want to visit my aunt and uncle one more time, after all, no one knows what the result of this trial will be," Xiao Xian prepared for the worst.

"Alright, I won’t go with you then, I need to head home to see my parents," Yezi ruffled Xiao Xian’s hair.

"Didn’t you go back to see them? I thought you returned to Guizhou to meet them," Xiao Xian wondered where Yezi had been these past three days.

"Old Man Fei isn’t doing well, so I went back to see him one last time," Yezi forced a smile.

"You went to see him?" Xiao Xian still remembered the last time she saw Fiji, his condition was not good, his heart and veins nearly entirely petrified, Fiji said he wanted to see Yezi again.

"Yes, he instructed some things," Yezi didn’t want to elaborate, he and Xiao Xian exchanged a few more words, then hailed a taxi for her to go see Zhuo Feng and the others in Yanqing.

After watching the taxi go far, Little Pig appeared.

"Why didn’t you tell Xiao Xian, about the place you’re going, damn, that’s a place of no return," Little Pig was puzzled, Yezi always seemed clever, why didn’t he make things clear.

Yezi remained silent, he took out that letter from his pocket, on the paper were only the words: "Beast Star." (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, welcome to visit Qidian () to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
