From her eyes, he could read the hope and anxiety that she had hidden for many years, as well as the question that she could never ask.
"Is Yuan'er still alive?"
Wei Jie knew that Shangguan Qingxi had not had a good time in recent years, and she didn't even dare to appear in front of him.
I'm afraid that seeing her will remind me of Ling Yuan and that heartbreaking memory.
Although that incident could not be entirely blamed on her, after all, it was he, not her, who forced Ling Yuan.
But no matter what the truth is, the result is already determined, and both mother and son cannot escape blame.
No matter how great Wei Jie was, he could not forget the tragedy caused by her.
He may not say it, but over the years he has unknowingly proved through his actions that his heart has long since shifted to Ling Yuan's side.
Unless Shangguan Qingxi contacts him, he will not take the initiative to meet her.
He knew how unfair it was for him to do so, but the fact was indeed as Shangguan Qingxi had thought. Ling Yuan's death, whether true or false, had long become an indelible nightmare in Wei Jie's mind.
And Shangguan Qingxi just happened to be the one who could remind him of the beginning of this terrible nightmare.
Therefore, not only Shangguan herself was reluctant to see him, but he also tried every means to avoid her.
Three years may be just a blink of an eye for others, but for him, it was more torment and pain than imprisonment.
In order to prevent himself from thinking too much, he spent almost all his time practicing and killing these zombies.
Because of special channels, he was able to practice within the Dragon Empire.
Three years is neither long nor short, but it is enough for a man who has only waiting in his life to make the most of all his time.
It's not that he wasn't afraid and hesitant in his heart. He didn't even know if his waiting would be in vain, let alone what would be waiting for him three years later.
The only thing he can do is to practice continuously. Only when he becomes strong can he protect the people he wants to protect.
For three years, he tried every possible way to find out Ling Yuan's whereabouts, and even moved the low-key Mingyu to the Dragon Empire just to find out her whereabouts.
But the result undoubtedly disappointed him.
Despite the full support of Zi He, the eldest senior brother, the second senior brother and others, and Ming Yu's willingness to turn darkness into light, Ling Yuan seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
He couldn't even guess who had kidnapped Ling Yuan that night.
Until the zombie poison breaks out again, until the Dragon Empire fully supports the Four Continents, until...
The eldest and second eldest brothers found the two young men who appeared in his Youyue Lake that year.
Using the Ling family as a clue and the dark spots on Ling Yuan's body as a breakthrough, they finally found the Goddess Clan.
Although they found the Goddess Clan, they still couldn't find any clues about Ling Yuan, and this even exposed them.
After being discovered by the other party, they became even more sensitive and vigilant, and even the Ling family and the Lin family were cut off from all contact.
Wei Jie had no choice but to think of this method, because the other party had promised to visit him in three years.
Over the years, they have sought help from the Dragon Empire many times, but to the end, they have never found the person he was looking for.
This time, he didn't even have any hope. Even though the other party was from the goddess clan, he had never been so bold to think that the person who came was the one he had been thinking about.
However, when she appeared in the sky above their Siyou Kingdom riding a white dragon, Wei Jie found that his heart was inexplicably panicked and beating, and even his eyes became inexplicably sore.
What is he feeling moved by? What is he excited about?
The uncontrollable emotions that burst out affected his intuitive judgment. Especially when he saw the black-clothed girl on the back of the silver dragon, he inexplicably made the boldest guess in his life.
He still remembers the silver dragon, the huge silver dragon that appeared in the dark forest that year.
He found it strange that the dragon did not hurt them, especially when there was such a good opportunity.
There was also the girl in black clothes and black skirt, about fifteen or sixteen years old. Even though she was wearing a black veil, her familiar eyes instantly pulled him into his memory. Almost in that instant, he confirmed her identity.
It's her, it must be her.
She likes black, she likes to wear black dresses, and her clear eyes that can cleanse people's hearts, even though they are now placed on a body that is almost completely different from hers, he was able to confirm her identity almost in a second.
She has changed. Three years later, she has become thinner, her skin color has become more normal, and her appearance has become more refined. Even through a hazy veil, one can still see her perfect contours and lines.
He became more beautiful and stronger, but it was as if I didn't recognize him anymore.
Wei Jie became anxious and tried his best to surround her and make his presence felt, but she deliberately ignored him and avoided him.
Not even giving him a chance to make direct eye contact with her.
From his certainty at the beginning to his nervousness and uneasiness at this moment, Wei Jie never doubted his own guess. In fact, because of Ling Yuan's various actions, his anxious heart gradually calmed down.
She didn't want to acknowledge him? Was she still angry with herself?
However, she still came back to support Siyouguo, to support him, and to protect the people of Siyouguo.
Ling Yuan is still the same Ling Yuan. She has not changed at all. Even though her appearance has changed, her simple and kind heart seems to have never changed.
Wei Jie was excited, and when he was excited, he would do things that he himself could not have expected. For example, he found that he had learned how to pester, how to pester, how to please, and how to curry favor with others...
Although he was beaten and scolded by her until his head was bleeding, he did not feel sad in his heart. Instead, he became more and more courageous.
The fact that his Yuan'er was willing to be angry and waste time on him meant that she still had him in her heart and was still thinking about him.
Fortunately, her ambiguous words have indirectly acknowledged her identity.
In fact, even if she didn't admit it, he wouldn't admit his mistake.
The scent on her body, her every frown and smile, all carry the unique traces of Ling Yuan.
This is an indisputable fact, and it is also a special memory that he has always been reluctant to forget.
All these years, he had been afraid that when he saw her again, she would forget him and regard him as a stranger.
However, a person's real amnesia and pretending to have amnesia are two completely different reactions. With the naked eye and your familiarity with the person, you can definitely feel it and there are traces to follow.
Especially in recent years, Wei Jie has no other hobbies but to indulge in terrible nostalgia. He even engraved all the memories of Ling Yuan on the portrait. She in his mind will only be deeper and more unforgettable than before.
When he saw her again, familiar memories came flooding back. The familiar body language would unconsciously exude a unique charm. Even if he wanted to ignore it, the alarm bell of memory would subconsciously ring.
This is his Yuaner, his genuine, one-of-a-kind Yuaner!
As long as she was still alive, and she was still standing in front of him, he wouldn't mind even if she left his sight again.
Because he knew that in the future, if he wanted to catch up with the love he had lost, he would have to pay much more than Ling Yuan did back then...
It was enough for him to know that she was still alive.
As for the rest, he will use himself to prove that Yuan'er is his, no matter in the past, present or future, she belongs to him, Wei Jie alone.
Therefore, although Ling Yuan left, she also took away someone's worried heart. Fortunately, it is comforting that the heart that was always hanging in the air can finally be put down now.
Because, his Yuan'er, really came back.
With Ling Yuan's return, Wei Jie's attitude towards Shangguan Qingxi no longer became as stiff as before, and he even nodded in cooperation.
"Yes, it's her. She's back. My Yuan'er is finally back."
Despite his confirmation, Shangguan still felt that the reality was a little unreal, especially the rumors she heard about two completely different people. She couldn't understand how Wei Jie could connect this person to Yuan'er?
Could it be that Wei Jie fell into a terrible fantasy because he missed his wife so much?
Thinking of this, Shangguan couldn't help but ask, "But what does Yuan'er look like? Many people know her. That girl, Mingming..."
"Yuan'er grew up the way she did before because she was poisoned. Don't you know?"
Wei Li and Shangguan exchanged glances at the same time. "I know, but Jie'er, the Yuan'er back then, she has already rotted away. How could it be possible..."
Being alive is already unbelievable, and if something else happens to be completely changed, how can people believe it?
This is simply incredible!
Shangguan Qingxi was not unwilling to believe. On the contrary, she was very willing to believe it and even wanted to explain to Ling Yuan in person the regrets she had left behind.
But the prerequisite is that she has to believe that the person is indeed Ling Yuan!
Although she was a reborn person and was already an alien in this world, it was really hard for her to believe that a person with a rotten body could stand alive in front of her.
"Whether you believe it or not, in my eyes, that's her."
Wei Jie saw the expressions of the two people, but did not take it to heart.
He was able to recognize her only because of bits of memory from the past and the hope given by a third party.
And after witnessing Ling Yuan's body rotting with their own eyes, can they still believe that people are alive?
If you put yourself in his shoes, he might not believe it, right?
So, he understood their feelings at the moment, and he didn't expect others to believe it. He just wanted to know that she was still alive, and that was enough.
But Shangguan refused to give up. She had finally gotten news about Ling Yuan. How could she be dismissed by Wei Jie with just a few words?
"What's going on? Tell me clearly, how can you be sure that it was Yuan'er?"
She hated herself so much. She hated herself for being in the city at the critical moment and not appearing on the battlefield.
Even if you stand on the city wall, you can still catch a glimpse of Yuan'er's elegance!
"Yes, yes. No, no, no. Why are you asking why? Take Wei Yuchen for example. He has become that kind of person, but you can still recognize him?"
Being blocked by Wei Jie, Shangguan Qingxi quickly glanced at Wei Li next to her, and then glared at him deeply.
"How can he be compared with Yuan'er? A person who wants to harm others even when he is dying is no longer worthy of being called a human being!"
Wei Yuchen's end was undoubtedly extremely miserable, but no one present would pity him.
Even if those toxins were not his subjective consciousness, the tragedy had already happened and people would only blame him instead of blaming Long Kun.
When Wei Yuchen was mentioned at this moment, the atmosphere obviously became a little different. Fortunately, the mother and son were now able to treat this person calmly.
Just think about it, if a person who should be hated by others gradually fades out of people's sight, it really means that this person is not important.

Who would remember a person who doesn't even have hatred?
Undoubtedly, Wei Yuchen is the emperor in the history of Siyou Kingdom whose death was most hated and unwillingly accepted by the people, right?
He died, and that was the end of everything. However, the danger he brought caused the people of Siyou Kingdom to live under the erosion of the virus for a year or two.
He is no longer a person of admiration in people's hearts, but a traitor to the country who is more hated and loathed than a rat crossing the street.
Compared to others, Wei Yuchen can still be mentioned with disgust by people, but Qiu Zhen doesn't even have the chance to become infamous.
Wei Yuchen was not qualified to be buried in the imperial tomb. Qiu Zhen, a mere concubine, was rolled up by a torn straw mat and turned into ashes along with those zombies. Not even a speck of dust was left.
Naturally, it is impossible for it to appear in the genealogy of the royal family of Siyou Kingdom.
Shangguan Qingxi was very satisfied with this result. Especially after the new emperor ascended the throne, the Du family's case was overturned, allowing those families that were implicated in the past to truly stand in the sunshine.
Even though they had been accumulating this hatred for many years and had never erupted, this result has already comforted the souls of those who have passed away.
In addition, the new emperor personally wrote a nearly ten-thousand-word letter of repentance to the world, and personally visited every household, burning incense and kowtowed.
Compared with the instigator Wei Yuchen, this series of actions can be said to be wise, kind-hearted, and able to let go.
The zombie poison has broken out in full force, and the entire continent is about to face the crisis of extinction.
However, the new emperor not only did not seek any privileges, he even lived and ate with the common people and used the years of grain stored in the national treasury to take care of the common people. Such great benevolence and righteousness had already touched the hearts of people from top to bottom in the Siyou Kingdom.
Even though Wei Mo only did what he should do, the status of the new emperor in people's hearts had already far surpassed that of Wei Yuchen, who had worked hard for more than ten years.
Compared with Wei Yuchen's ruthlessness and ruthlessness, the new emperor can be said to be the most considerate and selfless emperor in history.
Perhaps it was because the country was in crisis, or perhaps it was because there were so many lives lost, that the living people gradually began to come together and unite as one.
This made the process of fighting against zombies smoother and more united.
But ever since the riots, no one has been growing food, and to feed so many mouths, donations from various cities and families is far from enough.
Fortunately, the Dragon Empire donated food, vegetables, fruits and other supplies to every city in a timely manner, otherwise even if they were not bitten to death by zombies, they would be trapped to death.
Just like this time, it was also because of the support of the Dragon Empire that they were able to turn danger into safety.
But when mentioning the people who came to support, Shangguan Qingxi fell into deep thought again.
The example Wei Jie just gave was to tell her that when you are really familiar with someone, you will be able to recognize him or her no matter what he or she looks like.
In other words, Wei Jie's intuition is accurate and reliable.
Ling Yuan has been poisoned for more than ten years, so, can it be understood that the reason why she has become what she is now is because the poison has been cured?
But if the poison is cured, wouldn’t the changes it brings be a bit too exaggerated?
You know, her body was already rotten at that time, how could she still be alive?
Shangguan Qingxi was undoubtedly going crazy and devastated at this moment.
She slapped the table in front of Wei Jie, supported herself with both palms, and looked at him with gritted teeth: "Can't you give me a reason to completely let go of my worries?"
Wei Jie pursed his lips and looked up at her: "I rely entirely on my feelings, and feelings are something that cannot be explained clearly. So I'm sorry, I'm afraid you won't be able to take this reassurance pill."
Shangguan lowered his eyes in disappointment, "It doesn't matter, I can wait, as long as she is still alive, I don't mind waiting forever."
Wei Li on the side wanted to say something, but was slapped away by Shangguan, who glared at him.
"You must agree as well, otherwise our marriage will be cancelled."
Wei Li opened his mouth, then suddenly closed it tightly without saying another word.
Wei Jie looked at them, somewhat helplessly, "Why are you doing this? Even if I find her, she may not come back with me. This process is long, you don't need to do this at all."
"You are wrong. Yuan'er saved my life. If I abandon her and only care about my own happiness, I will not be happy even if I marry him."
Shangguan Qingxi refused resolutely, and then she looked solemnly at Wei Li who was silent beside her.
"I don't want to delay you, if you..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We have already decided on the marriage, can we go back on our word? I will never marry anyone except you in this life."
After saying that, he seemed to feel that it was not strong enough, so he said to her directly: "You don't have to worry about me. No matter how long it takes, I will wait. This is what we should do and we should face it."
Shangguan looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, Li."
Wei Li walked up to her and gently pinched her face, "Silly girl, I've waited for more than ten years, what else is missing?"
Wei Jie looked at the two of them from the side, his face gloomy enough to drip water: "If there is nothing else, you should leave!"
Who are you showing off your love here for?
Did you do it on purpose to embarrass him?
"Why are you leaving? I haven't asked you yet. Since you already know Yuan'er's whereabouts, why don't you chase her? What are you doing here?"
Wei Jie glanced at her calmly and said, "I can't leave yet. Chasing my wife is important, but the Siyou Kingdom is in a critical moment. I can't leave so many people behind and go alone."
Men have their own principles, especially when it comes to national justice, personal interests are nothing.
"You can't just stay here until the corpse poison is cured, right?"
Wei Jie frowned instantly, "I don't know how the doctors of the Dragon Empire are doing with their research. It's been a year and eight months, and there is still no progress. If this continues, it will sooner or later bring disaster to the Dragon Empire."
All living things on the four continents were in trouble. Not only humans, but animals were also affected by the disaster.
In order to protect the Dragon Empire from infection, even the birds and beasts are now strictly controlled. But is this a long-term solution?
They are right. If the corpse poison is not cured one day, will he have to stay here for the rest of his life?
"Just go and do your thing. We have people here too, so you can leave without any worries!"
Wei Li walked over and patted Wei Jie on the shoulder, "Don't let time waste you. We men can't afford to waste a woman's youth."
Wei Jie's eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the two people opposite him.
"In this case, the safety of Siyou Country will be left to you for the time being."
After Wei Jie left the Regent's Palace and went to the palace to report to Wei Mo, he returned to the palace to issue various orders.
The next morning, Wei Jie left Siyou Kingdom riding on a fire phoenix.
"Do you think he can find Yuan'er?"
Shangguan Qingxi stood on the city wall, looking in the direction Wei Jie left, her eyes full of worry.
"Of course, didn't you notice? Ever since he said it was Yuan'er, he didn't seem to worry about this problem."
"This is enough to prove that he knows where she is. Moreover, with his current strength, what does the Dragon Empire mean to him? Can't he come and go as he pleases?"
Shangguan Qingxi clasped her hands together with a worried look in her eyes, "May God bless them and not let them suffer any more."
Wei Li stood beside her and shook his head involuntarily. He didn't know whether Ling Yuan would suffer, but it was inevitable that Wei Jie would suffer.
Considering Ling Yuan's current confusing identity, I'm afraid Wei Jie's journey to find his wife will not be as simple as he imagined!
What bothered him most was that now it involved not only the misunderstandings between him and his wife, but also the various disputes in the Dragon Empire. Wei Jie might not be able to return for ten days or half a month.
He lowered his eyes to look at the zombie hordes outside the city that were raging despite being stopped. For the first time, he felt that the future was so far away.
I don't know when these days will end.
Today, the Four Continents rely entirely on the support of the Dragon Empire. If one day they cut off the supply to the Four Continents, will the Four Continents still have a chance to exist?
Moreover, based on the current national strength, let alone the four countries, even if the surrounding ethnic groups that are not worthy of being considered countries are included, the total population is not as many as that of one country in the past.
The Four Continents are no longer the four-powerful world they were more than a year ago. Under these circumstances, they seem to have only this one choice left -
That is to combine the scattered parts into a whole, to gather the four countries and the remaining small races together and unite them into one.
