"Son..." The aunt supported Beta, unable to bear her son's grief. In this period of time, she could tell that Beta truly liked Xue Ruyun from the bottom of his heart. It was the first time she saw him like this in so many years.
"Mother will tell you."
"Don't."
The aunt ignored Beta's words and walked up to Xue Luoyun. "Miss Xue, do you know the meaning behind this bracelet?"
"Auntie, you recognize this bracelet?" Xue Luoyun was astonished.
"Yes, I left this for my daughter-in-law." The aunt said bluntly.
"Could it be Liu Ye's?" Xue Ruyun still didn't understand the meaning behind this.
"No, this is..." The aunt wanted to say more.
"So it was lost by sister-in-law. What a coincidence …" Mom, why haven't I seen it before? " Beta stood in front of the aunt and said. He turned his back to Xue Luoyun, and painfully shook his head at his aunt, begging her not to speak of this matter.
Seeing him like this, the aunt could only remain silent.
"So it's such a coincidence. Then, quickly take it and return it to Liu Ye." Xue Ruyun took off the bracelet and placed it in Beta's hand.
Beta looked at the bracelet. The only thing that he wanted to leave behind for her to think about was returned by her in the end. In the end, there was no such thing as fate or separation.
Beta gripped the bracelet tightly, maintaining a calm expression on his face. "Alright, you guys continue chatting, I'll head back to my room."
Beta turned, tears streaming down her face.
"Let me help you." Kima went after him.
Just like Beta liked Xue Ruyun, Kima also loved Beta deeply, disregarding everything, even if it was someone else he loved.
This was love, nine out of ten. Who else could he tell about the flavor?
"Is he okay?" Mu Ying asked in concern.
"It should be fine." When Xue Ruyun thought of his calm expression just now, he felt reassured.
"Oh yeah, auntie, thank you for entertaining us during this period of time. We've disturbed you for too long, so it's about time for us to leave."
"What? They're leaving?" Even though she was extremely sad inside, Beta still felt reluctant to leave when she heard that she was leaving. He sat up, clenched his fists, and slowly released them without any other choice.
"Why don't you explain to her how much you like her? Even if she has a fiance, you still have to let her know your feelings for her. "
"She shouldn't have appeared in my world in the first place. Meeting her is already an additional gift from the heavens. What more do I need?" Beta smiled bitterly and shook her head at herself.
"Since the bracelet hasn't been given out yet, you can give her another item. This way, if she sees this item in the future, she'll have to think about it." Kima tried everything to comfort Beta.
"I don't have anything else to do. She'll be leaving tomorrow."
"I have it. Let me prepare it for you." Kima leaves without a word.
Since ancient times, it had always been a gathering of the few. Xue Ruoyun and the others were on their way again.
"Have a safe trip." Beta stood at the intersection and said goodbye to Xue Luoyun. After thinking for an entire night, Lin Yemao could only say this.
"Beautiful big sister, wait." Kima came running in, panting, her face tired and her hair uncombed.
"What happened to you?" Xue Ruyun saw that her clothes were dirty, and there were leaves on her head.
"Nothing, by the way, this is a gift from brother Beta. I hope you remember him, and all of us." He took out a bamboo shell from behind his. It would fit like a real one, with a pearl in the middle.
When she saw the shell, she would think of Beta.
"It's so exquisite. Thank you, I will keep it." Xue Ruyun gratefully looked at Beta.
Xue Ruyun left, and Beta watched as their figures disappeared into the distance.
"Why is your hand so swollen?" Beta took Kima's hand and saw only that it was scarred with bamboo.
"No," Kayma said, withdrawing her hand.
"Sigh. "Why do you have to go through so much trouble?" Beta carefully bandaged her fingers and sighed. Fate makes a fool of people.
Xue Ruyun and Mu Ying were riding their horses on the road.
"This Beta … …" Mu Ying paused for a moment. Even he could tell that Beta's thoughts towards Xue Ruoyun were as simple as that of a friend.
He had never treated Xue Luoyun differently, but he had always been so slow with regards to matters of the heart. Forget it, just don't say anything to avoid adding to her worries.
"What's wrong?" Xue Ruyun looked at him.
"It's nothing. After we board the boat, we will arrive at Qing Shui County very soon." Mu Ying changed the topic.
"Yeah." Xue Ruyun's feelings were complex. He would soon find his own father. However, this also meant that he would have to see those two loathsome little sisters and stepmothers again. Xue Ruoyun's heart began to sink.
"Don't worry. Once we get there, we'll move out of our residence. We'll be able to see your father, and we won't have to spend any time with those people." With a single sentence from Mu Ying, he had solved Xue Ruyun's worries. Along the way, he had already thought of a way to deal with the situation.
"Okay, thank you."
"Oh right, you guys got caught this time, so you gave us a warning. I think it's necessary to train the dark guards around us." Xue Luoyun earnestly said.
Mu Sheng nodded, he had already thought of this question, "How about I let you train it?" Mu Sheng suggested.
In the past, when he was in the small courtyard, he had sparred with Xue Ruoyun many times. He still had a lot of trust in her security capabilities. Xue Ruyun's ideas were strange, innovative, and many of the knowledge he didn't even know about.
"Alright, I'll make a good plan tonight. From tomorrow onwards, we will begin our training. " Xue Luoyun said.
He intended to use his modern knowledge to train the strength of Mu Ying's dark guards.
In the following days, they trained nonstop as they travelled. Apart from martial arts, there was also detection and anti-detection abilities. Xue Ruoyun even more so had a special set of mental training, weather observation, simulated sneak attacks, and so on.
The training was so unique that even Mu Sheng could not help but join in.
Time flew by quickly as they trained. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at Qing Shui County.
"I heard that this Xue Luoyun is going to come find us soon." In the small courtyard of Qing Shui county, Xue Shaoli said as she was sipping her tea gracefully. The third prince had sent someone to deliver the tea.
Not long after they arrived at Qing Shui County, Xue Shaoli contacted Mu Lingfeng. She wasn't willing to spend the rest of her life in this backwater, so she flipped through all kinds of books and tried to find a way to write out one plan after another for Mu Lingfeng.
Finally, after Xue Ruyun decided to come to Qing Shui county to search for Xue Duan Sheng, Mu Lingfeng started using the chess piece, Xue Shaoli, to reply to her.
It turned out that Mu Lingfeng's wings were spread all over the place. In Qing Shui County, a place far away from the Emperor, there was even a cult that he had groomed for many years.
