Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 928: Chapter 48: Yezi’s Farewell (2)

Two old men who seemed to be in their twilight years looked towards Xiao Xian; the direct victim of the entire incident was right in front of them.

"There’s no need. A simple accusation doesn’t serve any purpose. My grandfather was waiting not for a simple purification that can be undone easily. I will use my own way to make everything start over," Xiao Xian did not harbor much hatred towards Zhang Lvxiao. The origin of the entire incident did not lie with the Wang Family. The Wang Family was merely a part of it.

"What do you intend?" Wang Fenglei understood the meaning behind Xiao Xian’s words. "You intend to use this opportunity of the Cangqiong Palace."

"Yes, I’m very curious. What was the wish you made when you joined the Cangqiong Palace all those years ago?" All who participated in the Cangqiong Palace were told that if they successfully completed the trials, they could be granted a wish.

"My wish," Wang Fenglei seemed somewhat dazed and after a while, he sighed and said, "My wish was to ensure the Wang Family’s reputation would not fall for a hundred generations."

Zhang Lvxiao was stunned; she always thought the deepest wish in Wang Fenglei’s heart was to bring back that person, to revive her.

In his heart, the Wang Family always remained.

"My wish is similar to Senior Wang’s. Can I ask Senior Wang to help me with one more small favor?" Then, Xiao Xian sent the two away and stood in front of the window, staring at the gray sky.

She just wanted to know what awaited her above the skies.

The selection location for the Cangqiong Palace was quickly sent in the form of a letter to each participant.

"Eh, why can’t I see what is written on the letter?" In the end, Yiyi did not participate in the trials. Wang Shuai, Xiao Xian, and Li Ye represented the Huake Institute in this trial.

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

"I’ll go ask Wang Shuai and Li Ye, see where their trial locations are?" Yiyi contacted Wang Shuai; his trial location was in Beijing. As for Li Ye, Yiyi tried to reach him with a few calls but couldn’t get hold of Yezi.

"What’s going on, at this critical moment, that guy has dropped the ball," Yiyi glanced at Xiao Xian, "Xiao Xian, your trial location isn’t in Beijing, is it?"

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

Sure enough, Yezi, upon receiving the notification letter, initially wanted to discuss with Xiao Xian first. However, after seeing the location on the letter, he decided to return to Guizhou first.

When Yezi found Xiao Xian again, it was already three days later.

He looked very tired.

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

Niuniu was Yezi’s younger sister.

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

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

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

"Yezi, I can’t, there’s no way anymore." Xiao Xian gently placed her hand on Yezi’s back, took a deep breath. That warmth, which appeared in the most difficult and helpless times, the young boy, had grown into a good man.

"If it wasn’t for him, would things have been..." Yezi already knew the answer. He kissed Xiao Xian’s forehead before releasing her.

In front of Xiao Xian, there was only a calmness in her eyes.

Just as beautiful as the night sky.

Yezi had always known that Xiao Xian harbored secrets she was guarding, secrets she never opened up to him, and he had his own secrets he needed to keep, which he couldn’t tell her.

"I already know the answer. What’s the location of your trial this time?" Yezi turned to a lively tone, back to the playful Yezi.

"A very strange trial location, surprisingly, it’s in Cherry Valley," Xiao Xian shrugged. She had always thought the trials of the Cangqiong Palace would take place in the same location.

Unexpectedly, each person’s trial location was different.

"Cherry Valley? When are you planning to start?" Yezi clenched the envelope in his pocket, which contained the location for his trial.

"Tomorrow, I want to visit Aunt and Uncle again, after all, no one knows the outcome of this trial," Xiao Xian prepared for the worst.

"It’s good, I won’t accompany you there; I need to go home and see my parents," Yezi ruffled Xiao Xian’s hair.

"Didn’t you go back to see them? I thought you went to Guizhou to meet them," Xiao Xian was puzzled about where Yezi had been these three days.

"Old Man Fei’s not 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 poor, his heart vessels almost completely petrified. Fiji had mentioned wanting to see Yezi one more time.

"Yeah, he gave a few instructions," Yezi didn’t want to say more; he chatted with Xiao Xian for a bit, then hailed a taxi for her to visit Zhuo Feng and the others in Yanqing.

Before the car drove off, the window slid down, Xiao Xian’s smiling face was just as beautiful as when they first met as children.

As the taxi pulled away, Little Pig flew out.

"Why didn’t you tell Xiao Xian the place you’re going could very well be a point of no return," Little Pig was puzzled. Yezi was usually quite sharp; why didn’t he make things clear?

Yezi didn’t utter a word as he took out that letter from his pocket, with a blurred line of text on the paper. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welcome to visit Qidian () to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
