Lu Cijian remained silent for a long time before recalling the scene he saw before losing consciousness.
He saw his blood return with his own eyes, but some red blood streaks were still floating in mid-air. They were neither evaporated by the light spots nor flew towards him.
He only glanced at it then, and before he could see clearly, he completely lost consciousness. Now that he thinks about it, it must have been Mianmian's blood.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Before I lost consciousness, I saw your blood turn into red lines and float in mid-air. Did you feel like your blood was being drawn out of your body?"
Jiang Yimian shook her head, but then nodded.
She not only felt blood being drawn from her body, but also felt blood flowing into her body.
If she had previously thought it was just her imagination, now she was almost certain that the feeling was real.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Do you think it's possible that our blood has mixed?"
This idea wasn't outrageous; after all, Lu Cijian's blood would definitely evaporate in that spot of light.
She will be swallowed up by the light spots.
In the end, Lu Cijian's blood was not evaporated, nor was she swallowed.
Considering her feelings when she was in a daze, her idea is very likely true.
Lu Cijian hesitated for a long time before saying, "I can't rule out that possibility."
If this idea holds true, then Lingxu's words should mean that Mianmian is now considered a person of this world.
Jiang Yimian had obviously thought of this as well, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as she said, "It seems we really don't need to worry."
Lu Cijian smiled and agreed.
His Mianmian will never disappear again.
They all survived.

Half a month later, the shops and buildings in Xiliang City that had been burned down were almost completely repaired. Although it was not as good as before, it was still a bustling city.
Apart from the occasional Tuyuhun and Jin armies passing through the streets, the lives of the people of Xiliang remained largely unchanged.
The once-closed city of Xiliang has now opened its gates, no longer limiting entry to underground passages, and is beginning to make use of the surrounding environment.
Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian's injuries also healed during the past two weeks of rest.
On the day of his departure, Ultai and some Xia people who had returned to normal came to see him off.
Tuwen, holding his sister's hand, also arrived at the city gate.
Upon seeing Jiang Yimian, he immediately went to greet her, "Princess."
Tuwen quickly greeted her, while the little girl beside him glanced at her timidly and hid behind Tuwen.
Jiang Yimian saw the young boy, smiled and responded, then asked, "How are you? Are you adapting well?"
Currently, many of these Xia people are mentally unstable and live together temporarily.
But since things hadn't returned to normal yet, someone needed to take care of them, so Tuwen became the de facto leader among these Xia people.
Although he was young, he performed well in the battle against the Xiliang people. In addition, he was young and full of vigor and hope.
The Xia people needed this kind of person most right now, so the few who had recovered elected Tuwen as their new leader.
She had heard a lot about Tuwen lately and was quite curious about what this young boy wanted to do.
As expected, upon hearing this, Tuwen immediately straightened his back and said earnestly, "I will lead the Xia people to rebuild their homeland."
"We Xia people will one day be one country, just like the Great Jin and Tuyuhun."
He will always remember what General Ue said.
They were the Xia people.
Jiang Yimian looked at his determined expression and nodded earnestly, "Do a good job, I look forward to seeing that day."
Tuwen simply smiled and responded. Just as he was about to ask if they would come to Xiliang City again, he saw Ultai walking over and quickly moved aside.
"Princess, I have something I want to tell you."
As he spoke, Ultai hurriedly chased after them. Seeing that Tuwen was also there, he simply waved to him, signaling the two of them to step back first.
Although Tu Wen found it strange, he didn't linger. He bowed to Jiang Yimian again before leaving with his sister.
Jiang Yimian was somewhat puzzled. Seeing that Jiang Qingyuan and Lu Cijian were still talking about something not far away, she looked at Wuertai and asked curiously, "What did you want to talk to me about?"
All told, she had only met this person once, on the day she regained consciousness, when he came to visit her.
Although the relationship between Tuyuhun and Jin is still relatively harmonious, that is a relationship between two countries, and she really has nothing to say to the person in front of her.
Ultai hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lu Cijian, and only after confirming that the person would not come over for a while did he grit his teeth and lower his voice to say, "Princess, the Khan asked me to pass on a few words to you."
Aguzan?
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, and asked curiously, "What does that guy have to say that he can't write a letter and needs you to do it for him?"
When Ultai met Jiang Yimian's gaze, he felt a little guilty for a moment.
He felt that Aguzan was giving him a difficult problem. Why didn't he just say it himself? Even if it was a joke, he wouldn't dare to joke with the princess.
He shouldn't have sent the message back so quickly; now he felt he was in for a beating.
After hesitating for a while, he quickly said, "The Khan said that if the princess changes her mind, she can go to him at any time."
Jiang Yimian was taken aback. Before she could speak, she heard a dissatisfied voice behind her, "If that guy Aguzan is really too free, why don't he come to the capital to attend my and Mianmian's wedding banquet?"
I welcome you, and you welcome me too.
Upon hearing this, Ultai chuckled dryly twice and dared not say anything more. Especially when he met Lu Cijian's cold eyes, he swallowed hard, secretly lamenting what was going on.
