After Wen Ziqing led the team back to the military region, he completed his mission and excitedly headed towards the family building.
Wen Ziqing had made plans. While he was free, he would take Zhou Yuanyuan to a restaurant for dinner.
A few days ago, Wen Ziqing had a dinner party and discovered that Zhou Yuanyuan really liked the roasted whole lamb from a certain restaurant. Since there were many people at the dinner party, Wen Ziqing noticed that Zhou Yuanyuan was so busy entertaining the guests that she didn't get to eat much herself.
"Hey~! Captain Wen~! Captain Wen~!" When Wen Ziqing walked past the door of Ma Hongyu's house, Ma Hongyu was preparing to cook. She looked up and saw Wen Ziqing's figure, and hurriedly chased after him.
"Sister Ma." Wen Ziqing stopped and greeted her.
"Captain Wen, my sister-in-law asked me to tell her that something happened at home and she went back to Kyoto." Ma Hongyu remembered Zhou Yuanyuan's instructions.
Yuanyuan returned to Kyoto? Wen Ziqing was stunned.
"Captain Wen, you and your younger brother and sister have such a good relationship. You are indeed childhood sweethearts." Ma Hongyu couldn't help but teasing Wen Ziqing when she saw his dazed look.
This liar, before he left on the mission, had vowed to wait for him to come back, yet he had vanished in the blink of an eye. Wen Ziqing was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Seeing Ma Hongyu still standing in front of him, Wen Ziqing said politely: "Thank you, sister-in-law Ma, my garden has caused you trouble."
"Oh! We are neighbors, it's just a brief message, why be so polite? Captain Wen, I want to thank you and my sister-in-law very much! Before leaving, my sister-in-law gave me a handkerchief, made of silk, so beautiful! I'm so sorry to let my sister-in-law spend money." Ma Hongyu said with a smile on her face.
In the past few days, Ma Hongyu had received a lot of envious glances in the family compound because of that handkerchief. Many military wives had never seen such an exquisite item before. Of course, there were also some people who made sarcastic remarks, such as Wu Xiuhe.
However, ever since she learned that Wu Xiuhe was the one who spread the gossip about Wen Ziqing's family, Ma Hongyu and Wu Xiuhe had broken off their friendship. Ma Hongyu didn't take Wu Xiuhe's sour words to heart at all.
Previously, the military wives in the family compound were spreading gossip about Wen Ziqing's family. Ma Hongyu rushed to the headquarters to speak for Wen Ziqing, but she was just acting on her own conscience and had never thought about getting anything from Zhou Yuanyuan.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuanyuan was such a generous person. Before leaving, she used the excuse to ask Ma Hongyu to convey a message to Wen Ziqing on her behalf. Not only did she send a large bag of candy to Ma Hongyu's children, she also gave Ma Hongyu an embroidered silk handkerchief.
Ma Hongyu refused several times. In her eyes, the handkerchief was too high-end. It was made of silk! The embroidery on it was lifelike. Ma Hongyu didn't want to use it in her life. She had never seen such exquisite things in her life!
"As long as sister-in-law likes it. It was produced by Yuanyuan's mother's factory and it didn't cost any money." Wen Ziqing saw the uneasiness in Ma Hongyu's eyes and explained.
Wen Ziqing knew that after the dinner party incident, he and Zhou Yuanyuan had become the most unsophisticated couple in the compound. They were usually extravagant with their money. Wen Ziqing was afraid that everyone would think Zhou Yuanyuan had spent his hard-earned money, so he would tell everyone whenever he had the chance that Zhou Yuanyuan's family was well-off and well-off.
Wen Ziqing knew that if he told Ma Hongyu that the handkerchief was worth half a month's salary for Li Guodong, she would be shocked. Therefore, Wen Ziqing chose to conceal it. Zhou Yuanyuan gave the gift to Ma Hongyu because she thought Ma Hongyu and her husband were good people and worthy of being friends, not to show off.
"That's good, that's good. I was really worried that my sister-in-law would spend too much money." Ma Hongyu felt relieved after hearing what Wen Ziqing said.
Zhou Yuanyuan also said that the handkerchief was produced in her own factory and she didn't spend any money on it. Ma Hongyu didn't dare to believe it.
In Ma Hongyu's mind, clothing factories only made common goods such as work clothes, and she never thought that they could make such exquisite items as embroidered handkerchiefs.
After Wen Ziqing waved goodbye to Ma Hongyu, his originally brisk steps became heavy because of the news of Zhou Yuanyuan's departure.
After opening the door, Wen Ziqing was filled with coldness and loneliness, feeling as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
Where Zhou Yuanyuan is, that is his home. Without Zhou Yuanyuan, the same house and the same furnishings become cold in Wen Ziqing's heart, without any warmth.
On the table, Zhou Yuanyuan left a note that read:
Brother Ziqing:
My mother asked me to go back to Kyoto for something.
Wen Ziqing counted and found that there were sixteen words in total, including punctuation marks. He finished reading it in one glance.
Wen Ziqing pursed his lips, he was so angry that he almost wanted to rush to Kyoto City to arrest people.
Sixteen words! How lazy is this girl? Sixteen words on a huge piece of paper? Can't you write a few more words? Even if you don't come back anytime soon, you should at least write a few words of love to express your reluctance to leave, right?
When he left, the girl had promised to wait for him at the military area. But what happened? When he returned, all he had was a note.
He was so angry! But he couldn't bear to scold the girl, what should he do?
Wen Ziqing threw himself on the sofa and began to think about this problem seriously.
He had thought that three years in the Northern Military Region would pass quickly. As Zhou Yuanyuan grew more and more beautiful, Wen Ziqing felt that he really wanted to stay by her side, preferably not even leaving her side for a moment.
Recalling his previous conversation with General Zhou, Wen Ziqing gave up the urge to return to Kyoto. General Zhou was right. While Yuanyuan was highly skilled, she had no interest in power. Ying's father-in-law, Zhou Zhixin, had limited qualifications, and his current position had already taken his utmost. His uncle, Zhou Jiasheng, was devoted to scientific research and would need his and Zhou Yuanyuan's care in the future. He must be strong enough to protect the Zhou family until the next generation of Zhou Jiasheng grew up.
In the end, he was simply too weak. If he had Yuanyuan's strength, the distance between the military district and Kyoto City would only take a few steps, allowing him and Zhou Yuanyuan to meet at any time. Currently, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and even a desperate dash on a flying sword would take at least six or seven hours.
When will he be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage?
While Wen Ziqing was deep in thought, the void in his sea of consciousness moved.
I don’t know what happened, but many things appeared in Kong Ming’s mind. After sorting them out, Kong Ming found that these things were all his inherited knowledge.
From the inherited knowledge, Kong Ming knew that their race had always belonged to the divine realm, and when they appeared in a certain world, they all came with a mission.
Three thousand years ago, the King of Hell of this world disappeared, and the Yinming River also disappeared. Without the King of Hell and the Yinming River, the underworld is on the verge of collapse.
Kong Ming's mission in this world is to find a new King of the Underworld and assist him in governing the entire underworld.
But for some reason, Kong Ming lost a lot of memories after coming to this world, and even forgot his mission.
