Luo Jiuyan held Xiao Qingran's hand and looked at her energetic, radiant face and smiling eyes. At this moment, he felt that the efforts he made in his previous life were really worth it.
Then he told everything that happened in his previous life.
"After you left, I was planning to find Ji Yuan to avenge you. Unexpectedly, he found me and gave me a location, asking me to lead people to find the Ancient Soul Clan. He said that the only people in this world who could save you and free you from the pain of illness were the Ancient Soul Clan.
He said he didn't mean to poison you, but your mother forced him to. From the moment he came to live with you, your mother had been trying to get him to do something to you. He'd been with you for seven years. During those seven years, he consistently resisted your mother's pressure and didn't do anything to you. It wasn't until your mother threatened his father, mother, and several of his siblings that he was forced to do it.
He chose that day to strike because he saw you suffering from illness and heard the imperial physician say you were dying. Before he struck, he had met with members of the Ancient Soul Clan. He had confirmed, over and over again, that they could bring you back to life, and only then did he strike.
After I found the Ancient Soul Clan, I quietly brought them to the palace. To prevent your early burial, Ji Yuan has been secretly fighting against your mother.
Your mother wanted to kill him. If I hadn't rushed back in time, he might have been killed by your mother."
Luo Jiuyan said this, looked at Xiao Qingran, and sighed heavily: "Your rebirth has a price to pay, it's not as simple as Ji Yuan said. Someone needs to use their soul to block the secrets of heaven, so that you can reincarnate with your memories. Ji Yuan actually knew it a long time ago. He wanted to use his own life in exchange for your rebirth."
"He knows he has wronged me and wants to atone for his sin with his own life?"
There were tears in Xiao Qingran's eyes.
That silly boy.
In fact, when she first discovered that she had been poisoned, she really hated Xiao Jiyuan.
After rebirth, although I still have resentment towards him, the hatred towards him is much less.
Later, after she met Luo Jiuyan, she was no longer so bothered by the events of her past life.
Now that she knew the truth, she felt only infinite heartache.
Luo Jiuyan sighed: "He really wanted to atone for his sins. Unfortunately, he was unable to do so in the end."
Xiao Qingran was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Really?
"If you sacrifice his soul, it will be shattered and there will be no possibility of reincarnation."
When Luo Jiuyan said this, he held Xiao Qingran's hand tightly, and a soft light filled his eyes.
"I'm different. I can use half of my soul to help you be reborn. Besides, you are mine. How could I let that kid have this opportunity? I want him to live and atone for what he did."
"Bang!"
The tears in Xiao Qingran's eyes fell without warning.
"So, my rebirth was achieved by you sacrificing half of your soul."
Xiao Qingran suppressed the pain in her heart and hugged Luo Jiuyan tightly: "Why are you so stupid? What if it doesn't work?"
She could fully imagine how the situation would develop at that time and how much mental torture she had to endure in order to make that decision.
Luo Jiuyan said it lightly, but in reality, who would dare to risk their own soul?
"If you're gone, what's the point of leaving me alone? Since there's still hope, even if it means nothing, I'll give it a try. Besides, my soul is strong, and only half needs to be sacrificed. I'm more suitable than anyone else."
Looking back now, everything he did in his previous life was worth it.
"So, after you were reincarnated, you were haunted by evil spirits. It's because your soul was incomplete that those evil spirits wanted to take over your body."
At this point, Xiao Qingran burst into tears: "You big idiot."
She recalled the day she was reborn and met Luo Jiuyan in the cave. He was wrapped in black mist from head to toe. She couldn't help but tremble with heartache.
"Everything is over. I have also recovered some of my memories from my past life. Everything in my past life is yesterday. From now on, we will live happily in this era."
Xiao Qingran took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Luo Jiuyan affectionately: "Then let's get married when we get back!"
Luo Jiuyan chuckled: "Not waiting for graduation?"
It's not easy to fool the old lady and Mr. Lu.
"I'll convince grandma."
Xiao Qingran smiled. As long as the old lady agreed, nothing Mr. Lu said would matter.
Luo Jiuyan lowered his head and kissed Xiao Qingran's lips.
The two were in a state of ecstasy when they suddenly heard a light cough.
The two were so frightened that they separated immediately.
Xiao Qingran blushed as she spotted the middle-aged man jokingly watching them from a distance. However, she feigned composure as she straightened her clothes. As if nothing had happened, she curiously gazed at the short man before her.
This middle-aged man, with a resolute gaze and an air of righteousness, was completely at odds with his appearance.
"Teng Yuanjiu, won't you explain?"
Luo Jiuyan blocked Teng Yuanjiu's gaze from looking at Xiao Qingran, and glanced at him lightly.
He really dares to come back. Isn’t he afraid that they will expose his identity?
"I'm from Kyushu, just like you. Don't ask me anything else. If one day the Tengyuan family is destroyed and I'm still alive, perhaps we'll meet again one day. Also, although you're safe for now, don't be careless. Be careful of Tengyuan Mari. This old man is no ordinary person."
Teng Yuanjiu briefly explained his identity.
Just the words "he was from Jiuzhou" moved Luo Jiuyan and Xiao Qingran slightly.
This person has been able to hide in Sang Country for so many years, I believe his determination must be indestructible.
Since he was unwilling to say more, the two of them were not very curious about his identity.
As long as they are not enemies.
"I have something to ask you, Senior. Can I come in and talk?"
Luo Jiuyan pointed at Teng Yuanjiu's room and felt excited.
If he could get news about his father from this person, that would be great. If not, he could ask Teng Yuanjiu for help and investigate privately.
After all, Teng Yuanjiu has been lurking in Sang Country for so many years, he must have his own connections.
"Come with me."
Teng Yuanjiu opened the door and invited the two into his room.
Xiao Qingran was still not used to sitting cross-legged on the ground. However, in order not to delay Luo Jiuyan, she sat sideways on the mat.
Teng Yuanjiu turned on the heating and poured hot water for the two of them.
The light in the room was not bright, but the hearts of the three people were extremely warm at this moment.
After a long drought, it rains; like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
Luo Jiuyan looked at Teng Yuanjiu and asked directly what was on his mind.
"Senior, among those brought from Jiuzhou to Sang Country thirty years ago, was there anyone named Luo Qianqiu?"
Teng Yuanjiu shook his head: "Everyone who is brought here will not use their original names. Just like you two. No one knows what our real names are. This is something that everyone knows tacitly."
