"Huo Cheng, why aren't you saying anything?"
After Yingyue finished speaking, she waited for Huo Cheng's reply.
Seeing him holding the jade pendant without saying a word, she urged him out of curiosity.
Huo Cheng snapped out of his daze, looked up at her, and gave her a faint smile.
"fine."
"Keep it safe."
He returned the jade pendant to Yingyue.
Ask Yingyue what her life is like on the mountain.
"Hmm, let me think about it."
Yingyue thought about it seriously, and to others, she was summarizing.
Life on the mountain was very difficult.
The original master was very kind to his fellow disciples, but the Taoist temple was not like other places. Their crops didn't bring in much income, and they would go hungry.
The female disciples often went hungry, and Yingyue was no exception.
Later, the Taoist temple could no longer be maintained, and having grown up there, they had no choice but to descend the mountain and step into this world they had never experienced before…
Do you know where your master went?
Huo Cheng asked.
Yingyue answered without hesitation, "Master stayed on the mountain."
Huo Cheng's eyelids twitched.
Huo Yan, who was standing to the side, also hissed, "Didn't they say we couldn't stay on the mountain?"
"Can't even corpses stay on the mountain?"
Yingyue asked in return.
When her master's temple was destroyed, he chose to go with it.
In this way, the master remained on the mountain forever.
Huo Yan...
I won't ask anymore.
Otherwise, no one knows what other jaw-dropping things this little fool might say.
The group took their seats and ate.
After the meal, Huo Cheng and the others were about to return to the city.
Liu Qiuyue suggested that Yingyue go with them.
She glanced at Huo Cheng as she spoke.
Seek the boss's opinion.
Huo Cheng gave a slight twitch of his lips. "We have no choice but to leave together now."
After saying that, he raised his head, looked at Yingyue who was holding her grandmother's hand, and whispered to his mother, "Mom, she is the betrothal that Grandpa arranged for Huo Yan."
"What?"
Liu Qiuyue exclaimed in surprise.
She immediately covered her mouth as soon as she spoke, lowering her voice to a volume that only the two of them could hear.
"Ah Cheng, is what you're saying true?"
"You'll know when you get back and ask Grandpa."
Huo Cheng's voice was calm.
My emotions didn't fluctuate much.
Liu Qiuyue felt extremely distressed.
She could tell that the eldest son didn't dislike Yingyue, and Yingyue also enjoyed being with the eldest son, but it just so happened that it was a marriage arranged by the old man for the second son...
What on earth is going on?
For a moment, Liu Qiuyue didn't even know what to say.
It wasn't that she disliked her second son, but rather that her eldest son had injured his leg and was getting on in years, plus the young girl was clearly closer to him...
Liu Qiuyue's mind was in a mess.
After giving her blessings to Grandma Liu, Yingyue happily walked over to Huo Cheng.
She took over Huo Yan's job, pushing Huo Cheng's wheelchair.
At the dinner table, Huo Cheng said he would take Yingyue to the city to find her childhood betrothal.
Yingyue was very happy and naturally followed Huo Cheng.
Huo Yan had some opinions to share.
"You have to be careful not to let my brother fall."
“He won’t fall,” Yingyue replied earnestly. “With me here, good luck will always be with him.”
"Tch, you make it sound like you can bring good luck," Huo Yan retorted.
Yingyue blinked. "But I'm just lucky..."
"You're bragging..." Huo Yan wanted to retort, but Huo Cheng glanced at him and he immediately shut his mouth.
Liu Qiuyue, who was standing to the side, had something on her mind and felt very complicated as she watched the interaction between the three children.
They left the Liu family's house and headed towards the village entrance.
The village roads weren't very smooth, but Huo Cheng didn't feel any bumps as Yingyue pushed him.
He thought of what Yingyue had said about her being good luck, and lowered his eyes to smile.
"Aunt Liu."
Shen Hui's voice came from the side. She was standing at the corner of the street, looking at the Huo family with some grievance.
Liu Qiuyue's mind wasn't on Shen Hui, so she nodded reluctantly and looked away, with no intention of speaking.
Huo Yan saw Shen Hui and remembered that they had been reported. He couldn't help but go up to her and confront her.
"They're gone."
Huo Cheng spoke up, interrupting Huo Yan's actions.
Huo Yan was very unhappy. "Brother, are we just going to let it go like this?"
Huo Cheng did not answer.
Huo Yan was unconvinced and went to ask Ying Yue again, hoping to get this little fool to stand on his side.
He realized that his brother seemed to favor the little fool.
So if the little fool is on his side, it means his brother is on his side too.
"You said she reported you, isn't it too easy for her to just let her off like this?"
Shouldn't we confront her and settle the score?
Huo Yan asked.
Yingyue shook her head blankly.
"Need not."
"ah?"
Huo Yan was dumbfounded.
"No, she schemed against you, and you almost got arrested by the committee. And you're saying you don't need to settle scores with her?"
"Are you really that timid?"
That's such a weak personality.
Huo Yan kept complaining to himself.
Yingyue replied calmly, "She'll get her comeuppance soon."
"ah?"
Huo Yan glanced blankly at Shen Hui, who was standing at the corner. Why was she standing there unharmed? What kind of retribution was she going to suffer?
Huo Yan, who hadn't figured it out, naturally ignored Yingyue's words.
But Huo Cheng wouldn't let Huo Yan cause any trouble, so he could only hold his breath and continue walking towards the village entrance.
They drove here and parked their car at the entrance of the village.
