"Brother Xu, if you want it, just take it. It's just a place. I can afford it." Xuedie also got used to the shaking of the rattan chair, and her tone became a little more lazy.
However, he directly avoided the topic of going to the capital. Although he really wanted Xu Tianze to go back, given Xu Tianze's physical condition, he still needed to rest for some time.
What's more, if Xu Tianze knew about the movements of those two people in Shangjing City, he would probably not be able to recuperate well and would have to rush back to Shangjing City.
Xu Tianze smiled when he heard Xuedie say that, then lay down on the rattan chair again. He always liked to waste time lazily on the rattan chair, but the deep blood feud had always been spurring him on. Even though he was nominally recuperating in the Valley of Divine Doctors, he was actually spending his energy on various calculations and arrangements.
During this period when he could do nothing and could only passively rest, he was surprisingly relaxed and had a sense of peace emanating from deep within his heart.
"When I get what I want one day, I will stay here with Brother Xue. You are welcome to visit me then." Xu Tianze squinted his eyes again, letting the breeze carrying sunshine and flower petals fall on his body.
Xu Tianze was lying beside Xuedie, the breeze gently lifted the hair on his forehead, with the flower field as the background, and the blue sky, white clouds and bamboo forest as embellishments. Xu Tianze suddenly became like an elf sleeping in a secret wonderland.
Perhaps, at this moment, Xuedie wanted to keep Xu Tianze forever, and it would be nice for the two of them to live a peaceful life here with three meals a day and four seasons.
Unfortunately, Xuedie understood what Xu Tianze shouldered, and always remembered her original intention. It was impossible for both of them to abandon their mission and responsibilities, so how could they talk about three meals a day and four seasons?
He couldn't even appear in front of Xu Tianze with his real identity.
Xuedie suddenly felt a little funny. She never expected that one day she would envy Long Musi, the person she had always looked down upon.
Xuedie really envied him for being able to stay by Xu Tianze's side without hesitation, and envied him for being able to stand in front of Xu Tianze with dignity without any reason.
The warm and gentle sunlight, carrying petals and a hint of fragrance, drifted towards Xuedie as it passed Xu Tianze. However, with the help of the breeze, Xuedie's outstretched hand did not succeed in stopping them. Their departure made Xuedie look at her empty palms in a daze.
It was unknown how long it took for Xuedie to come back to her senses. When she looked at Xu Tianze again, he was already snoring softly.
"Forget it, if it is destined to happen, why bother asking for it? If it is not destined to happen, how can I get it just by asking for it?" Xuedie took a deep breath, then got up and left.
With his back to Xu Tianze, he didn't see Xu Tianze's slightly trembling eyelashes and his fists that had been clenched at some point.
From then on, Xu Tianze and Xuedie never talked about anything related to the capital. They still lay lazily on the rattan chairs together to bask in the sun, and occasionally picked some flower petals to make flower cakes to satisfy their hunger.
But both of them knew that something had changed a long time ago, and that changed thing could not be touched, let alone mentioned.
Time passed by like flowing water. Xu Tianze and Xuedie had stayed here for more than a month. It seemed that it was time to return to Shangjing City. After all, those old friends in Shangjing City needed more communication.
Especially Jiang Xue, I don’t know what she will look like when she sees Xu Tianze.
"Brother Xu, your injury hasn't healed yet. Do you really want to go back to the capital now?" There was a hint of worry in Xuedie's eyes, and her words were filled with the intention of retaining him.
A person can never forget something just because he wants to. The more he wants to forget, the more unforgettable it becomes. The more he suppresses it, the more it will grow wildly inside him.
Xuedie has always simply used Xu Tianze. There was a trace of affection between them, but the distance between the two of them has become infinitely closer during this period, and Xuedie's feelings have long since deteriorated.
Even though he knew that he could not persuade Xu Tianze at all, he could not swallow the words that came to his lips and said them directly.
Xu Tianze shook his head. He knew the worry behind Xuedie's words, and could even sense a hint of unspeakable emotion in them, but he had rested long enough.
"Brother Xue, you should have understood from the first time we met. The only purpose of my, Xu Tianze's, existence is to redress the injustice for the Xu family." Xu Tianze stood in front of the carriage and looked back at Xuedie, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination.
He looked at Xuedie in front of him. Since he woke up, Xuedie had been wearing this silver butterfly mask that half covered her face and had never taken it off.
Although Xu Tianze was extremely curious, he also understood that Xuedie concealed her appearance so much because she probably had her own concerns. Even though he was curious, he would not take off Xuedie's mask casually.
What's more, he was actually afraid that the moment Xuedie's mask was taken off, he might not be able to get along with Xuedie as freely as he did now.
Xu Tianze sighed, but still said what he hadn't finished: "Brother Xue, I never knew what your purpose was, but as long as it doesn't conflict with my purpose, I am willing to be a knife in your hand."
As for the rest, he had nothing to give him.
Xuedie understood the implication of Xu Tianze's words, and it was as if a sharp fragment was forced into her heart, causing her heart to be broken and unbearable.
Xuedie sighed. He knew that the hatred in Xu Tianze's heart had long been the only motivation supporting him, and he was willing to pay any price for it.
Xuedie hid her complex emotions deep in her heart and waved the folding fan she always wore during the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter seasons. "Well, since Brother Xu has said this, Xuedie wishes you all the best."
If possible, I hope you and I will never stand on the side of hostility, otherwise I really have no way to do it.
"Then Brother Xue, I will go back before you. We will meet again if there is a chance in the future." Xu Tianze chuckled and got on the carriage.
Xuedie nodded and watched Xu Tianze's carriage leave this place where she could forget her worries and continue to set foot on the place of blood and chaos.
If Xu Tianze, sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked back, he would see Xuedie standing in front of the flower field, quietly looking at him. The wind chimes on the eaves of the small house behind the flower field were blown up by the wind, making tinkling sounds. Behind the small house was a lush green bamboo forest, and the sky was dotted with blue sky and white clouds.
It is a place where one can let go of all entanglements, but it is also a place where one cannot truly retain the obsessions in one's heart.
When the carriage completely disappeared into the forest, a figure suddenly appeared behind Xuedie and knelt on one knee.
Xuedie didn't look back, but simply ordered: "Send someone to inform Long Musi and tell him that Xu Tianze is on his way back to Shangjing City. Remember not to reveal your identity."
After the figure bowed and left, Xuedie turned around and got on the carriage hidden behind the wooden house. Now that the person was no longer here, there was naturally no need for him to stay here any longer.
