Past Life Chapter
Mu Xiyao and Lu Yichen truly never intended to hurt Mo Yi.
Although the two of them looked like they were trying to scare people.
...Mu Xiyao, the legitimate daughter of a prominent family, enjoyed a high reputation within her clan for her noble and elegant demeanor and kind heart. Her every gesture exuded an innate elegance, as if she were a born leader. Mo Yi, a wandering youth, unexpectedly received Mu Xiyao's protection, thus ending his life of wandering and dependence.
However, despite Mu Xiyao's tender care for him, Mo Yi still harbored an unspeakable fear. This fear didn't stem from Mu Xiyao herself, but rather from his long-standing loneliness and unfamiliarity with the unknown environment. He was used to facing the storms alone, and the sudden warmth made him feel somewhat uncomfortable, even wondering if it was just a fleeting illusion.
Mu Xiyao noticed Mo Yi's unease, but instead of directly confronting him, she chose to soothe his heart through her actions. She arranged for Mo Yi to stay in the quietest and most comfortable guest room in the mansion, personally overseeing his daily life to ensure he could adapt to his new environment as quickly as possible. She also invited Mo Yi to participate in some lighthearted family activities, allowing him to experience the warmth and joy of family.
Under Mu Xiyao's patient guidance, Mo Yi gradually lowered his guard. He began to try to communicate with others, learn the etiquette and culture of aristocratic families, and even, encouraged by Mu Xiyao, displayed his special talents in certain areas. Mu Xiyao's praise and recognition gave him confidence and filled him with gratitude towards this gentle young lady.
As time went by, Mo Yi's fear gradually dissipated, replaced by a deep respect and reliance on Mu Xiyao. He realized that Mu Xiyao was not only his benefactor, but also his friend, even family. By Mu Xiyao's side, he found a sense of belonging, as well as the courage and strength to move forward.
Mu Xiyao's kindness and wisdom not only changed Mo Yi's fate but also subtly elevated her status within the family. Her conduct was regarded as the proper demeanor of a scion of a noble family, and her name became a celebrated tale both within and outside the family. For Mo Yi, this experience was a precious asset in his life; he would forever remember Mu Xiyao's kindness and repay her goodwill in his own way.
Mo Yi's fate was like a willow catkin blown by the wind, drifting aimlessly, until he met two people who changed the course of his life—Lu Yichen and Mu Xiyao.
Lu Yichen, a chivalrous swordsman, is renowned for his profound martial arts skills and chivalrous heart. By chance, he rescued Mo Yi, who was imprisoned in a treacherous place. At that time, Mo Yi had been caught up in a conflict in the martial arts world due to a misunderstanding, and if Lu Yichen had not intervened in time, he would probably have already lost his life.
Lu Yichen took Mo Yi back to his secluded retreat, treating his wounds and providing him with food and lodging. During this time, Mo Yi felt a care and warmth he had never experienced before. However, Lu Yichen knew that his own nomadic lifestyle was not suitable for a young man like Mo Yi. Therefore, he decided to find Mo Yi a more secure place to stay.
Just then, Lu Yichen learned of Mu Xiyao's deeds. Mu Xiyao, the daughter of a prominent family, had repeatedly extended a helping hand to homeless people with her magnanimous heart and compassionate nature. Lu Yichen believed that if Mo Yi could live under Mu Xiyao's protection, he would definitely receive better care and development.
So, Lu Yichen brought Mo Yi to Mu Xiyao's residence. Upon seeing Mo Yi, Mu Xiyao was immediately moved by his clear and resolute eyes. After learning about Mo Yi's past, she decided without hesitation to take him in. Mu Xiyao promised Lu Yichen that she would treat Mo Yi like family, giving him the best education and care.
Under Mu Xiyao's meticulous arrangements, Mo Yi began a completely new life. He not only achieved material satisfaction but also made tremendous progress in his studies and personal growth. Mu Xiyao's kindness and wisdom deeply influenced Mo Yi, gradually transforming him from a withdrawn boy into a responsible and dependable young man.
Although Lu Yichen had left Mo Yi's life, his kindness and chivalrous spirit remained forever in Mo Yi's heart. Mo Yi knew that Lu Yichen had given him a second life, while Mu Xiyao had given him a home. These two benefactors became the most precious memories and the strongest support in Mo Yi's life.
Lu Yichen's name flashed across the martial arts world like a shooting star, brief yet dazzling. Born into a prominent family, just as illustrious as Mu Xiyao's, he should have lived a life of luxury and carefree ease. However, he chose a different path, a path of chivalry fraught with thorns and challenges.
Lu Yichen's family has a long history and profound heritage, producing many talented individuals throughout the generations. They hold a pivotal position both in the imperial court and in the martial arts world. As a direct descendant, Lu Yichen received rigorous education and training from a young age, demonstrating extraordinary talent in both literary and martial arts, as well as in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
However, a wild flame always burned within Lu Yichen's heart. He was weary of the constraints of his family and yearned for the vast world outside. In his view, a true hero should roam the world with a sword, upholding justice, rather than being trapped in a glittering cage.
So, on a stormy night, Lu Yichen made a decision that shocked his family—he relinquished his status as heir, left the bustling city, and embarked on a journey of wandering. He dedicated his talent and passion to those who needed help more, becoming known as a "wandering knight-errant."
Although Lu Yichen chose a life contrary to his family traditions, he always maintained respect and remembrance for his family. Deep in his heart, he knew that he carried the blood of a noble family, a bloodline that endowed him with responsibility and mission. Therefore, when he encountered Mo Yi in distress, he did not hesitate to lend a helping hand, just as his ancestors had done.
Mu Xiyao, as the direct descendant of another aristocratic family, followed a completely different life trajectory from Lu Yichen. She chose to stay in her family, using her wisdom and abilities to promote its development. Her attitude towards Mo Yi also reflected her sense of responsibility and compassion as a scion of a noble family.
Although Lu Yichen and Mu Xiyao chose different paths in life, they both inherited the fine traditions of their aristocratic families—to uphold justice, help the weak, and carry on the family's glory and honor, no matter when or where. Their story has become a celebrated tale for future generations, inspiring generations of young people to pursue their dreams and bravely forge their own paths.
Yes, like Mu Xiyao, Lu Yichen also comes from a prominent family. In this setting, Lu Yichen's background is similar to Mu Xiyao's; both are core members of their respective families, carrying the honor and expectations of their clans.
Lu Yichen's family also boasts a long history and profound cultural heritage, wielding considerable influence in politics, economics, and even the martial arts world. As a direct descendant, Lu Yichen was expected to achieve great things from a young age, receiving the most rigorous training and education. His words and actions represent the family's image, and every decision he makes can potentially impact the family's future.
However, despite bearing such heavy family responsibilities, Lu Yichen possessed unique ideals and pursuits. He was unwilling to be confined to the family's framework, but rather yearned to realize his ambitions in a wider world. He chose to leave his family and embark on a path full of unknowns and adventures, becoming a wandering knight-errant.
While Lu Yichen's choices set him apart from the traditional image of aristocratic scions, his actions did not deviate from his family's core values. His chivalrous spirit and sense of justice are, in fact, another manifestation of the family's spirit. His deeds in the martial arts world have also earned the family more respect and praise.
Therefore, although Lu Yichen and Mu Xiyao differ in their lifestyles, they are both outstanding representatives of the direct descendants of aristocratic families, inheriting and carrying forward their family traditions and glory in their own ways. Their story not only showcases the multifaceted nature of scions of noble families but also reflects the balance and conflict between personal pursuits and family responsibilities.
Lu Yichen and Mu Xiyao's relationship goes beyond a deep childhood friendship; it carries an even closer bond—they are betrothed by their families, their marriage arranged since childhood. This betrothal is not only a strategy for both families to consolidate their power and strengthen their alliance, but also part of the foundation of their emotional connection.
As a direct descendant of a prominent family, Lu Yichen shoulders heavy responsibilities, yet his feelings for Mu Xiyao are sincere and profound. He admires Mu Xiyao's intelligence, kindness, and ability to handle family affairs; these qualities strengthen his resolve to spend his life with her. Although he yearns for the freedom and adventure of the martial world, a corner in his heart is always reserved for Mu Xiyao—a place of anticipation for their future together and a promise of love.
Mu Xiyao also has deep feelings for Lu Yichen. She respects his choices, understands his inner struggles, and hopes that he can find his own path and return to her side. She knows that Lu Yichen's chivalry and dedication to justice are the qualities she admires. She is willing to wait until he fulfills his wishes and then they can create a future together.
Based on this emotional foundation, Lu Yichen and Mu Xiyao's relationship becomes even more complex and profound. Their marriage contract is not merely a piece of paper, but a mutual attraction and promise between two hearts. In their hearts, each other's existence transcends family boundaries, becoming an indispensable part of their lives.
When Lu Yichen was out adventuring, he would often think of Mu Xiyao's smile and her gentle words. These memories gave him strength and enabled him to persevere through difficult times. Meanwhile, Mu Xiyao would silently support Lu Yichen at home, her longing for him like a gentle stream, silently nourishing their love.
Ultimately, regardless of the path Lu Yichen chooses in life, his love with Mu Xiyao will be a legend. Their story will be passed down through generations, becoming a celebrated tale among noble families, proving that even amidst the games of power and the vicissitudes of the martial world, true love remains the most precious thing.
