Chapter 470 The Return of the Heart

Rumble!

After a spring thunder.

It began to drizzle again in Chang'an.

Ye Hongjian walked through the ancient corridor of the Tian Ce Mansion to the entrance of the manor.

The spring rain fell on the eaves and flowed down the cracks in the rubble, forming a rain curtain in front of Ye Hongjian.

The pedestrians on the streets were in a hurry, their shoes stepping on the bluestone floor, stepping on the stagnant water, splashing everywhere.

The spring rain was endless and annoying.

At the very least, Ye Hongjian was very tired of this. This rain made her mood especially heavy.

However, the pedestrians on the streets weren't like this. At least some of them still had smiles on their faces even though they were walking in the rain.

"Senior Sister." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

Ye Hongjian was stunned. She followed the sound and saw a figure wearing a purple robe standing in the drizzle looking at her with a smile.

Ye Hongjian couldn't help but be stunned.

She had probably never expected him to come here.

As she thought about this, the figure walked through the layers of rain curtains and arrived in front of her.

"Why don't you bring your Little Xu here at home? Why are you free to come to my place?" Ye Hongjian glanced at the man's wet clothes and asked.

"My son has Zi Chuan to take care of him. Don't bother me." The man did not seem to feel Ye Hongjian's attitude of rejecting people from thousands of miles away and replied with a smile.

"Oh." Ye Hongjian replied and put away her temper to continue talking with the man.

Actually, she didn't have much dislike for him.

She was simply unable to arouse any interest.

Her father said that only by killing Xu Han could Great Zhou calm down.

Mr. Lu also said that only by supporting Yuwen Nanjing to ascend to the throne could the Li people live and work in peace and contentment.

Naturally, she did not approve of such a move, but she did not doubt the result.

But in fact? The Tian Ce Mansion had done everything he wanted, but the temporary calm was just an illusion before the next wave of riots. A new storm was brewing. She could smell it, and she was tired of it.

But she couldn't stop it. All she could do was stay out of it.

The man seemed to have seen through her thoughts, but he did not break them. He only walked to her side and stood beside her. He looked at the drizzling spring rain on the street and the pedestrians running in the rain.

"What? If you don't accompany your precious son, why don't you come here to watch the rain with me?" After a few breaths, Ye Hongjian's voice sounded again. Her tone was somewhat cold, and it carried a sense of expulsion.

However, the man still smiled faintly as if he did not understand what she said.

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at the pedestrians who were running in the rain.

"Senior Sister, don't you find it strange? Why is it that people who are clearly drenched in the rain are smiling and those who are not drenched in the rain are not frowning?"

Hearing this, Ye Hongjian turned her head. She did not like the way men spoke. She frowned and looked at the man and asked, "What do you want to say?"

The man smiled again. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's nothing. It's just touching the scenery. I can't help but sigh."

"What exclamation?" At that time, Ye Hongjian's brows furrowed even deeper.

"People who have a place to go have flowers everywhere they go. People who don't have a place to go are like ice and snow everywhere they go. Senior Sister, do you still not know what you want?" The man looked at Ye Hongjian's cold gaze and said softly.

Hearing this, Ye Hongjian's body trembled slightly. Her eyebrows sank. She repeated the previous question again, but her tone was much colder. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Nothing." The man's answer was the same as before, even more relaxed than before.

"It's just that I met an old friend yesterday. He came from Great Xia and brought me some news. I think Senior Sister Ye might be interested in this news, so he sent it over to Senior Sister."

The man smiled confidently as he said this. He was sure of some of his judgments.

And Ye Hongjian's next reaction also proved this point very well.

Ye Hongjian's cold expression suddenly melted at that moment. She stared at the man and asked anxiously, "Is that him?"

"Yes." The man nodded, but he did not intend to sell the matter. Then, he said, "Brother Xu is currently in the Royal City. It seems that there is still a big problem."

A simple sentence and a few numbers caused the ice-cold girl's expression to change drastically.

She did not say anything, but her eyebrows had already been piled up into a mountain, revealing her heart completely at this moment.

Men, or teenagers.

Looking at Ye Hongjian in front of him, he suddenly smiled.

"Go and find him," he said.

It was a very light number, but it made Ye Hongjian feel as if she had been heavily hammered.

She looked at the man, her eyes flickering, as if she was hesitating or struggling.

"After the spring rain in Chang'an is the thunderstorm and torrential rain in summer. Those who have a place to go can still live peacefully here. Even if it is dangerous, at least there is life force. Those who have no place to go can only drift along with the waves. Life and death are not up to them." The man's voice sounded again, much deeper and more sincere.

After the man finished speaking, he took a deep look at Ye Hongjian and turned around to leave.

Only when his back stepped into the rain did Ye Hongjian regain her senses.

"What about you? Are you still going to do that? What about Zi Chuan and Xiao Xu?" She looked at the figure and thought about the youth who had fought with everyone for trivial matters. She was somewhat dazed, but she couldn't help but ask.

The man paused for a moment, seemingly about to turn around, but he did not turn around in the end.

He thought about the head that he had personally cut off on that rainy night, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Senior Sister is very lucky that you can still live for yourself, because your life is your own."

"I can't. I got my life in exchange for someone else's. I have to help him finish what he hasn't done."

After saying that, the man took another step and walked into the rain curtain.

The rain became heavier at that time. Ye Hongjian looked at the leaving figure. She suddenly clenched her fists and said in a voice that only she could hear clearly, "Thank you."

…

At the end of March, spring rain continued.

After the last spring rain, a memorial was passed from the Tian Ce Mansion to the Pu Tian Palace.

Yuwen Nan Jing held the memorial in his hand for a long time before finally agreeing to it.

Thus, a piece of news spread throughout Chang'an City.

Tian Ce Mansion 's Manor Master Ye Hongjian resigned as Manor Master, assisting the four emperors, Mr. Lu, to take over the position of Tian Ce Mansion 's Manor Master.

On that night, Ye Hongjian, who had left the position of Manor Master, bid farewell to her parents and led the youth named Su Mu'an all the way north, her whereabouts unknown.
