"When two armies clash, there will always be casualties. This is a vicious cycle that no one can escape. The three of them were also trying to fulfill their promise to me, so..."
Hong Yu sighed helplessly as he stood aside, then helped Tang Chen to sit down. "Ah Chen, let's deal with these things later. I know the hatred in your heart. If Li Xinzhai could still be alive and talk to you at this moment, I think he would definitely not ask you to help him get revenge. Do you remember what I told you at the beginning? Although he had regrets when he left, he had no remorse. Those were not words of comfort to you, but what I saw as a bystander."
Tang Chen looked up at Hong Yu and suddenly laughed: "...Haha, actually, the real murderer is me, right? If he hadn't met me, he could still be his assassin, traveling around in his free time, and buying Uncle Li a lot of interesting little things. Well, sir, please."
"......" After looking at Hong Yu, Ou Yezi put Huangfu Bin back into the sack, and left without saying anything else.
Hong Yu, like Yue Sheng in the past, gently wiped the tears from Tang Chen's face and comforted her softly: "I know you are sad, but I didn't expect that he has been gone for so long, and that incident would still have such a profound impact on you."
Tang Chen hugged Hong Yu tightly and buried his face in her chest: "Hong Yu, I really don't have many friends left!"
Hong Yu patted Tang Chen's back and soothed him, "I know, I know everything. It's getting late. My grandfather always told me that if you have any important decisions to make, unless you're in a hurry or something, don't think about them at night. Even the brightest night can't compare to the darkest day. Sometimes it can make people's minds irrational."
After Tang Chen gradually calmed down, she looked at the pitch-black night outside the abandoned house, as if looking into an endless abyss: "At first I thought this night was too short, and there seemed to be too much time to do. Now I know that this night is still too long."
Seeing that it was already late, Hong Yu was concerned about Tang Chen's health. Secondly, if Tang Chen went to see Su Zhirou with those panda eyes tomorrow, people might even suspect him. So, he said, "Let's go. If you have anything you want to vent, let's go to the couch and talk it over. The night is still long. As long as you want to talk, I'm willing to listen."
...After carefully avoiding patrolling soldiers in the small town, Ou Yezi arrived at the granary, sweating profusely. Before he could knock on the door, the granary door gently opened a crack.
After Ou Yezi entered, Prajna took a look at the large sack behind him and immediately realized that it contained a person. However, she couldn't help but tease him, "What are you doing in the middle of the night? And you brought a 'gift' with you? Do you have something to ask of me?"
After carefully placing the sack on the ground, Ou Yezi looked at the empty granary and asked, "Where are Tanhua and Jialuo? Why aren't they here?"
Prajna replied, "Tanhua has gone to rest, and as for Jialuo, she is a night owl and has gone out for a stroll."
"I'd like you to take care of this man for a few days. Don't let anyone else find him," Ou Yezi said as he carefully opened the sack, revealing Huangfu Bin's face. The three men had agreed not to meddle in matters that didn't interest them, but nothing in this small town escaped their watchful eyes. Prajna must have understood his intentions without further explanation.
Prajna continued to tease, "Hey, isn't this the missing Huangfu Bin? What? Did you kidnap him? If Shi Zairong knew that I helped you, I would be in trouble. No, no."
Looking at the child throwing a tantrum before him, Ou Yezi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. It was hard to accept that someone of his age was acting this way. "Look at what you're saying. If one of you hadn't told Tang Chen that there was something wrong with Miss Su, why would she ask me to help her pretend to be dead in the middle of the night?"
After receiving the letter and token from Ou Yezi, Prajna unapologetically opened them to take a peek, and Ou Yezi didn't try to stop her. After reading the contents of the letter, Prajna nodded and said, "I can't believe you've prepared so well. So, when do you plan to pick him up? You know about Tanhua's situation, and we've already fulfilled our agreement. I guess it won't be long before we leave."
Ou Yezi said with certainty, "Don't worry, it's only a few days. I won't keep you waiting too long."
In the candlelight, Prajna looked at the acne scars on Ou Yezi's face from wearing a human skin mask for so long, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's been a long time since I've seen your disguise skills. I think Wang Ruo will never believe until her death that what she sees as a disguise mask is actually your true appearance."
Ou Yezi subconsciously tried to cover her face with a scarf when she realized she wasn't wearing her usual clothes. In the end, her raised hand could only hover over her chin. "I used to think she only liked Jiang Ling's appearance. Now that there's really no chance, I think I was wrong. Even if Jiang Ling is just an ordinary person, as long as he's still himself, Wang Ruo won't despise him. But, as she often says, she's obsessed with looks. I guess in her heart, I'll always be that perfect look."
Prajna smiled and said, "Jiang Ling used to have a very good temper and was very humorous. If I were a few decades younger and a little girl, I would also admire such a young man. Wang Ruo is gone now. When do you plan to get out of this matter?"
Ou Yezi shook his head slightly. When he decided to help Nanyue, he hadn't thought about how easy it would be to escape. Moreover, he had already made plans for the worst. "I don't know yet. It won't be at this moment. Besides, Wang Ruo is gone, but Xihe's revenge has not yet been avenged. Her only disciple is in danger. I have to deal with all these things clearly."
Prajna nodded and said, "That's right, Huangfu Bin, I will take good care of you, don't worry."
"Well, thank you for your help. If Tanhua has any objections, I'll have to trouble you to calm her down." What Ou Yezi said was not unreasonable. When Tanhua was in a good mood, she was simply a fairy. When she got in a bad mood, she didn't care about the consequences. This could be seen from the incident of Jiang Ling and his son.
