Shi Mingyue felt like she had seen a savior. He Jun was standing at the door, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. He stared at the hooligans in the house with bloodshot eyes, "You..."
Those gangsters recognized him. This was the recently famous Master Yishang, the fourth son of the current emperor. How could they afford to offend him? They quickly apologized with a smile and admitted their mistakes, preparing to escape.
He Jun grabbed the Buddhist beads with both hands and exerted force. The string that strung the beads broke and the beads flew out, bouncing on the ground and rolling around.
He Jun clenched a few beads in his hand and stepped aside to leave: "Get out."
Seeing this, the gangsters immediately ran away.
He just let them go like that? Shi Mingyue couldn't believe it. Given He Jun's character, would he let these people go so easily?
Mingwei was so ashamed and angry that her former best friend saw her in such a miserable state.
He Jun only said one sentence to him, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
The scene changes to show Mingwei accompanying He Jun, who is reading scriptures under the lamp, while Mingwei is also reading beside him. However, Mingwei's eyes always steal a glance at He Jun from time to time. He Jun seems to notice this, and his expression changes slightly, but he doesn't say or do anything.
The scene was extremely peaceful, and Shi Mingyue's heart was also very calm.
The scene she could see changed again. She saw many ferocious big dogs being locked up in an open place. Someone was carrying a dead body to the door and throwing it in.
The vicious dogs pounced on him as if they had not eaten for days.
Shi Mingyue had already guessed who the corpse belonged to: Ming Wei. The dead couldn't feel pain, but the living could. She felt firsthand the pain Ming Wei was enduring.
Someone came, and Shi Mingyue felt like she saw a savior. It was He Jun.
He Jun climbed over the wall. Several vicious dogs stopped eating and stared at him fiercely. But He Jun's eyes didn't show any sign of retreat, and his steps didn't move either. Instead, he walked forward resolutely.
The vicious dogs pounced on him one after another. He Jun and the dogs trembled. He punched them again and again. The dogs were knocked away, but when they didn't die, they became even more violent and attacked He Jun again.
The whole process was thrilling. In the end, He Jun subdued all the vicious dogs. His clothes were tattered and covered in blood.
All he saw on the ground was a badly gnawed thumb and a few strands of hair. He bent down to pick them up and treasured them as if they were treasures.
The next moment, Shi Mingyue woke up.
He Jun sat beside her bed, his expression indifferent. Without any extra words, he asked directly: "Now, are you willing to stay?"
"I don't want to, He Jun. We used to be very good friends. Can we just maintain this friendship?" Shi Mingyue sincerely hoped so.
He Jun seemed to have guessed her answer long ago. He said, "I always owe you, so I want to make it up to you, but since you don't want to, why should I force you? Go back, Ming... Yue."
He was about to call out Mingwei's name, but Shi Mingyue gave him a tender smile: "It's all in the past. The body is the vessel that carries the spirit. Mingwei's spirit was not injured. He became me. He never blamed you, and neither did I. Thank you for everything you did for him."
If she remembered correctly, the cloth bag should be on her. She did take out the black cloth bag, which contained Ming Wei's finger bone. "Take it."
She wanted to return it to him because it was the only memory Mingwei left him. The cloth bag was sewn by Mingwei herself. He was not good at needlework, so the stitching of the bag was crooked and not very delicate. But He Jun still accepted it because it was a gift from Mingwei to him.
He Jun took back the black cloth bag. He looked at Shi Mingyue with a pleading look in his eyes: "Are you still willing to treat me as your friend?"
"Yes." Shi Mingyue answered without hesitation.
He Jun smiled with relief: "That's good."
Later, he kept his promise and sent her back to Fu Yueli.
Shi Mingyue wrapped herself tightly and walked to the door of Qingzhou Post Station. He Jun personally sent her back and he also left.
She soon met Fu Yueli, who looked at her in disbelief. She had never expected that she would come back so easily, especially after Helian Yizhuo announced the marriage news of He Jun and Shi Mingyue.
"I'm really back." Shi Mingyue said in a deep voice.
Fu Yueli hugged her tightly, just like he had done many times before when she was lost and found again. "I'm glad you're back."
"I'll tell you the reason this time." Shi Mingyue whispered against his chest.
Next, Shi Mingyue told Fu Yueli that she was once Mingwei and was a close friend of He Jun.
Fu Yueli said in disbelief: "Could it be that there really is reincarnation of the soul in this world?"
"No." Shi Mingyue told Fu Yueli about He Jun's spirit theory.
The soul, also known as the spirit body, is composed of energy. The human body undergoes birth, aging, illness, and death. Upon death, it can no longer support the soul. Thus, the soul's energy disperses, wandering the world. One day, this energy reorganizes and finds a new body, one not already occupied by the soul. The soul then attaches itself to the body, and a new life begins. As for time and space, the universe contains countless parallel universes, connected by black holes. Those with a predestined connection can be reborn, just as she did.
Fu Yueli was silent. Such a mysterious thing could happen in the world. Mingyue had changed from a man to a woman. Two hundred years ago, He Jun considered him a friend. Two hundred years later, He Jun once again faced a woman named Mingyue. He probably thought the best way to make amends to her was to marry her.
"When he sent me here, I asked him if he would still insist on destroying Zhao State. He said no." Although Shi Mingyue believed what He Jun said, Helian Yizhuo could not stop.
Fu Yueli said: "The biggest problem now is not him, but Helian Yizhuo and Xu Ziling. Their giant army is now our biggest enemy."
The two were right to worry. When the Wutan army occupying Xinzhou learned that He Jun had disappeared, they were surprised but not panicked, because as long as Xu Ziling was still there, they could create more invincible giant armies.
The Zhao army stationed in Qingzhou was racking their brains for ways to defeat the giant army. Shi Mingyue also learned the news that Tang Nuan had been executed. According to Zhao law, she had treasoned and should be sentenced to death.
Shi Mingyue went to see her and saw her head and body separated. Instead of the expected comfort, she felt only sorrow. Her body had vanished, but her spirit would be reassembled in the future and take on a new life.
Fu Yueli was also at the execution ground, staying by her side. "She is dead and will not be resurrected."
