Prince An's Mansion
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Qi Yu and Meng Zhelan slept until almost dark before getting up.
Just as the two were about to have their meal, Li Xi arrived.
Meng Zhelan immediately beamed with joy and rushed forward, taking Li Xi's hand and saying, "Xi'er, you're here? Come in, come in!"
As he spoke, he pulled Li Xi into the house and made her sit next to him.
Qi Yu greeted Li Xi with a broad smile, for she was his princess's savior and close friend. He smiled and nodded to Li Xi, then gestured for the servants to bring a new set of bowls and chopsticks.
"General Li, you've come at the right time. Let's have a meal together," Qi Yu said, his tone sincere.
The three sat around the table, creating a warm atmosphere.
Li Xi felt deeply gratified to see the two people in front of her so affectionately together.
She thought of her previous life, when Lan'er gave everything for Liang Wang Qi Shen, only to end up falling off a cliff and dying tragically.
Perhaps I was transported to another world by accident in this life.
After her sudden death, she miraculously returned to this place, unexpectedly changing the entire situation.
Although those thirty years were uneventful, perhaps it was precisely this experience that led to a dramatic change in the overall situation.
Li Xi picked up a piece of meat, put it in her mouth, and chewed slowly, her heart filled with emotion. "After Ling'er's wedding, I'll be going out for a while, and my return date is uncertain. If you need anything, go to Chen Quan."
Meng Zhelan was about to serve Li Xi soup when she heard this news. She was stunned for a moment, and the spoon in her hand almost slipped from her hand due to her surprise.
After a long while, she came to her senses and stammered, "Where...where are we going? Why so suddenly?"
His voice was filled with astonishment and unease, and his once skillful movements now seemed clumsy, making him appear somewhat at a loss.
Li Xi put down his chopsticks and looked at her: "His Majesty sent me to inspect various places, and I also want to see more of the world."
Meng Zhelan's eyes reddened: "But I can't bear to see you leave. What if you encounter danger?"
"Alright, alright, most people can't beat me." Li Xi grinned, revealing a confident expression, trying to reassure Meng Zhelan.
Then, she happily picked up her chopsticks, took a chicken leg from the plate, and began to eat with gusto.
Although the chicken leg didn't taste as good as the one Ling'er made, she still ate it with great relish.
Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of Qi Yu placing the deboned fish meat into Lan'er's bowl. Seeing this, the weight that had been hanging over her finally lifted.
In his previous life, Prince An, Qi Yu, was frail and sickly, but he was an upright and kind man. It is unknown what became of him later.
In this life, under Lan'er's medical care, he recovered his health. After extensive investigation, it was confirmed that he truly loved Lan'er.
With that, she felt relieved and left.
After dinner, Meng Zhelan took Li Xi to the guest room, leaving Qi Yu alone in the empty room.
Seeing the two leave, he sighed softly, turned and went into his study, where he lit the candle on the table.
There was no way around it; this was his queen's best friend, so there was no need to be jealous.
Besides, Li Xi will leave in a few days, and they will have plenty of time then, so one night won't matter.
On the other side, as soon as Meng Zhelan pulled Li Xi back to the guest room, she couldn't wait to make her sit down and began to carefully examine her body.
Looking at her back, he exclaimed in surprise, "Xi'er, the pattern on your back has disappeared!"
The crane pattern that was once clearly visible is now gone, as if it had never existed.
She quickly took Li Xi's pulse and carefully felt the pulse beat.
A moment later, she let go.
Xi'er's pulse was calm and stable, with no abnormalities, and she looked strong, healthy, and full of energy.
However, for some reason, Meng Zhelan felt a vague unease. Perhaps it was because too many things had happened recently, and she was exhausted.
She sighed softly, her gaze falling on Li Xi again, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
While tidying her slightly disheveled clothes, Li Xi calmly said, "Perhaps it's because that ghost has completely dissipated."
Without Wujiang, she was no longer restrained.
After hesitating for a long time, Meng Zhelan finally decided to be honest with Li Xi. "Xi'er, that day I was kidnapped, and unexpectedly, I developed a high fever. In my dazed state, some strange memories appeared in my mind. It turns out that I, like you, am also from the future..."
Meng Zhelan's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in Li Xi's heart once more. She stared at the person in front of her in disbelief, her eyes flashing with complex emotions—shock, doubt, relief, and an indescribable sense of familiarity.
"You...you mean, you also came from another time?" Li Xi's voice trembled slightly, as if confirming an unbelievable dream.
Meng Zhelan nodded slightly, a hint of emotion in her expression: "That's right, I..."
The two spent a sleepless night, recounting their experiences in the afterlife.
After daybreak, Li Xi left the palace.
Before leaving Beijing, she had many tedious matters to attend to and needed to make the most of her time.
Upon returning to the mansion, he unexpectedly saw Li Yang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Third Brother, is everything settled?" Li Xi asked, her voice tinged with urgency.
Earlier, the brother and sister decided to rebuild the Xuanming Sect and moved the remains of all their family members and disciples to the back mountain of the Xuanming Sect so that they could rest in peace.
Li Yang: "Don't worry, everything is going smoothly. Besides, the money you gave me is enough to rebuild several Xuanming Sects."
Hearing this, she finally felt relieved and said, "That's good. Thank you for your hard work, Third Brother. I'll go with you in a few days."
Li Yang nodded and replied, "Great! It just so happens that Brother Song is over there supervising the construction right now. He mentioned you to me earlier."
It turned out that after the Red Lotus Sect was completely wiped out, Song Yuan returned to the Xuanming Sect with Li Yang.
Now that his revenge was complete, he was in exceptionally high spirits and naturally wanted to find an opportunity to have a good chat with his brothers...
"good."
For the next few days, Qin Xiaolin did not appear. Li Xi assumed he was busy and did not look for him.
She went to Baichuan Academy.
Upon seeing Li Xi arrive, Headmaster Xu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a cold tone, "What is it? What do you want with me?"
Headmaster Xu, also known as Chi Yan. Now that his disguise has been exposed, he no longer needs to pretend to be approachable.
Li Xi rolled her eyes at him, snorted disdainfully, and said, "Can't I come if there's nothing wrong? Besides, I haven't settled the score with you for stabbing me in the back yet!"
After saying that, she crossed her arms and stared straight at Headmaster Xu, looking like she was there to interrogate him.
Xu Shanzhang, also known as Chi Yan, sneered upon hearing this and said, "Just tell me what you want."
