Chapter 689: Bloodline cannot be changed, but you can decide how to face it.
The sword cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound, as if to cut off all confusion and anxiety.
"The sword moves well, but my mind is not calm."
He Qingtuo put away his sword and turned around, seeing Gu Yanchen standing with his hands behind his back, his figure as straight as a pine tree in the dim light. Ran Qingxuan walked forward slowly with worry on his face.
"Sister Ran...Brother Gu..."
The boy wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked away slightly: "I just... need to do something to distract myself."
Ran Qingxuan walked closer and took the wooden sword from his hand: "Are you worried about your sister?"
He Qingtuo was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "My sister has loved me the most since I was a child. The decision I made now is to force her to do something she doesn't want to do..."
"You didn't force her." Gu Yanchen said in a steady voice, comforting the young man in front of him who was about to bear a heavy burden.
"Everyone needs time to adapt to the great changes. Your sister is not unreasonable. She just needs to figure out how to balance her family and her personal life..."
As he was speaking, footsteps were heard in the distance.
Lu Adong came from the forest path carrying He Qingqing on his back. The woman leaned on her husband's broad back, her eyes red and swollen but no longer crying.
The two of them formed a warm and slightly sad picture under the setting sun.
"It seems that your sister has made a decision." Ran Qingxuan said softly.
He Qingtuo took a deep breath and stepped forward: "Sister, brother-in-law..."
He Qingqing slid down from her husband's back, stood still, and looked directly into her brother's eyes: "Qingtuo, let's go back to Lanyu together."
The boy's eyes lit up instantly, but then dimmed when he saw the complex emotions in his sister's eyes.
"Sister, you don't have to force yourself..."
"It's not forced." He Qingqing shook her head, looked to her side, and reached out to hold her husband's rough big hand.
“Your brother-in-law is right, blood cannot be changed, but we can decide how to face it.
Since your grandfather needs you and the people of Blue Rain need you, how can I, who share the same blood with you, just stand by and watch? ”
"You may face many troubles in the future. I hope that someone can accompany you to face the troubles before you can be alone!"
He Qingtuo's eyes were red, and he leaned on his sister's shoulder like a child.
"Thank you, sis!"
Seeing that the brother and sister had a deep affection for each other, Ran Qingxuan knew that when they went to Blue Rain later, they would not be afraid of the unfamiliar environment.
Turning to look at Lu Adong, Ran Qingxuan asked: "Adong, you will go too, right?"
Lu Adong smiled honestly, his eyes full of determination: "Wherever Qingqing goes, I will go.
Whether she is a princess or a hunter, she will always be my wife. ”
Such sincere words made He Qingqing's eyes red again: "Adong, thank you."
"Hey, don't cry, don't cry..." Lu Adong hurriedly comforted his little wife, and frantically held her in his arms to comfort her.
Leaving the space for the three people, Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen stepped aside and smiled at each other, and the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.
The next morning, all the disciples of the Divine Doctor Sect gathered in front of the mountain gate to see the He siblings off.
Tang Ciyun gave He Qingqing a handwritten medical book and said, "Girl, no matter how your status changes, don't forget the kindness of a doctor."
He Qingqing took it with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes: "Master Uncle's teachings, I will never forget."
Tang Ciyun looked at He Qingqing, who was younger than her daughter, and was about to face disputes that were far beyond her age, and felt deeply moved.
"Ah, if your master comes back and finds out that you and Qingtuo have left, he will be so upset..."
"I have also left a letter for Master. I will trouble you to give it to Master when the time comes."
Tang Ciyun nodded, took the letter and put it in his arms.
On the other side, Lu Adong was saying goodbye to his disciples who often went hunting with him.
A young disciple patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, when you gain a foothold in Blue Rain Country, don't forget us, the brothers in the mountains!"
Lu Adong scratched his head and smiled: "What are you talking about? I am a hunter. I am destined to hunt wherever I go."
He Qingtuo had changed into a plain brocade robe. Although it looked a little childish, there was a sense of nobility in his every move.
He stood beside the carriage, his eyes swept over the miracle doctor where he had lived for half a year, and a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
"Let's go!" Ran Qingxuan said softly.
As the wheels rolled, the gate of the Divine Doctor's Sect gradually disappeared into the distance. He Qingqing leaned on her husband's shoulder, watching the familiar scenery outside the window recede little by little.
He Qingtuo sat opposite with his back straight, holding his grandfather's letter tightly in his hand.
The carriage made a long circle and arrived at the foot of the mountain. In front of them was the official road leading to Blue Rain Country, which was also the starting point of a new life for the brother and sister.
After a day's journey, the sun was setting and everyone stopped to rest in a secluded clearing in the woods.
Although He Qingqing has accepted it, she was constantly thinking about what was going to happen last night and during the day today, and she was completely exhausted.
As her husband, Lu Adong understood her feelings and carefully made a simple bed for her, trying to let He Qingqing have a good sleep.
After dinner, when it was almost time to rest, Ran Qingxuan came into the tent with three cups of brown sugar ginger tea: "This is ginger tea to drive away the cold. We still have to travel tomorrow. Drink it and go to bed early."
"Thank you, Sister Ran..." After watching them drink it, Ran Qingxuan took the cup and left.
Soon, the He siblings and Lu Adong fell into a deep sleep. After Gu Yanchen confirmed that the three of them were asleep, he nodded to Ran Qingxuan.
"We have to drive, otherwise this carriage will almost shake us apart..." Ran Qingxuan looked at the three people in the tent and waved at them.
Then the three people and their tent were all put into the space, and Ran Qingxuan felt at ease to take out the Hummer.
Under the moonlight, the military Hummer glowed with a cold metallic luster. Gu Yanchen skillfully jumped into the car and started the mechanism.
The car made a low humming sound, and Ran Qingxuan was helped to get on the passenger seat. The two of them sped away in the night...
Three days later, before dawn, an inconspicuous carriage drove out on the official road outside the capital of Blue Rain Country.
Inside the car, He Qingtuo slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a very comfortable soft bed. He sat up suddenly, startling He Qingqing and Lu Adong beside him.
"Where is this?" The carriage was still moving, but the scenery outside the window was completely different from yesterday...
The towering city walls and the fluttering Blue Rain flag were clearly visible in the distance. He Qingqing's eyes widened in surprise when she saw them. "We... have already arrived at Blue Rain Country?"
Lu Adong lifted the car curtain and saw Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan driving. He asked in confusion: "Mr. Gu, how long have we slept? How come we are here so soon?"
Ran Qingxuan had already thought of an excuse, and turned back and said with a smile: "People who practice Taoism have some special methods that can shorten the journey, so you don't have to panic."
He Qingtuo frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
When he recalled carefully, he vaguely remembered that there was something strange about the glass of water he drank before going to bed.
But looking at Ran Qingxuan's frank smile, He Qingtuo's doubts gradually dissipated. He knew that everyone had secrets to keep...
