When Liu Yingying returned home, she found that Xue Ye had already come back and was standing under the bare persimmon tree in the yard.
He turned around and looked at her with a serious expression.
Liu Yingying paused as she stepped across the threshold, sensing that something was off about today…
"Xiaoye, it's so windy, why are you standing outside?"
"I..." Xue Ye opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start, looking quite helpless.
Liu Yingying naturally noticed that there was something wrong with him. She walked up to him, reached out and touched his forehead, and muttered something.
"No fever, and her mind is normal!"
"So what's been going on with you lately?"
"Be honest, don't try to fool me. I've known for a long time that something's wrong with you!"
A complex look flashed across Xue Ye's eyes. "I might have to leave!"
"What's the rush? Didn't we already agree to go back to Furong County in a few days? You..."
Liu Yingying stopped speaking abruptly, staring at him with wide, surprised eyes.
"What did you say?"
Before Xue Ye could speak, a charming female voice came from the roof.
"Because he wants to go back to the Yiyue tribe with us!"
Liu Yingying looked up and saw two familiar figures, a man and a woman, standing on the roof.
It was Wufeng and Huayue.
Upon seeing Liu Yingying again, Hua Yue's charming face still couldn't hide the hatred in her heart. If she hadn't agreed to Xue Ye and Wu Feng's conditions, she would have wanted to kill this bitch with a knife long ago!
She tried her best to act nonchalant, but Liu Yingying's sudden remark still broke her defenses...
"Oh, we meet again, Miss Huayue. I'm so glad you're still alive!"
"You bitch! You're despicable!"
A beam of white light shot out from Hua Yue's sleeve, heading straight for Liu Yingying's face.
Wufeng, who was beside him, tried to stop him, but it was too late.
However, Liu Yingying did not dodge. Just as the hidden weapon was about to hit her, Xue Ye flashed in front of her at the critical moment.
call out!
The sharp weapon pierced his shoulder blade, and blood spurted out.
"You're crazy!" the three of them blurted out almost simultaneously.
Liu Yingying immediately stepped forward to check on his injuries with concern, and complained, "She couldn't have hurt me, why were you so foolish?"
Xue Ye smiled calmly at her, "This little injury is nothing!"
On the rooftop, Wufeng breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Xue Ye had not been seriously injured, and immediately turned to scold Hua Yue.
"You're becoming more and more reckless!"
Hua Yue retorted defiantly, "Who told that fool to take the knife for her? He deserved it!"
"Hua Yue!" Wu Feng was genuinely angry.
He didn't care whether Liu Yingying lived or died, but now that Xue Ye had agreed to return to the Yiyue tribe with them, he didn't want anything to go wrong because of a woman!
Xue Ye clutched his wound, looking at them with a warning that was clear and distinct: "You haven't forgotten what I said, have you?"
"If Liu Yingying is harmed in the slightest, I would rather die than go with you!"
Wu Feng helplessly raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose; this was exactly what he was worried about!
He could only explain, "Young Master, what happened just now was purely a misunderstanding. You know Hua Yue has a quick temper, so I hope Madam Liu won't hold it against her!"
Liu Yingying snorted coldly; "You stood on my roof and threw knives at me, injuring my nephew, and you won't even let me retaliate? What, do you think you're above the law?"
No wind;...
He could only continue apologizing, "I'm so sorry, Madam Liu!"
Xue Ye glanced at him. "You guys go back first. I'll say it again: as long as you don't hurt the people around me, our previous agreement still stands!"
"Very well! Your subordinate hopes that Young Master will keep his promise!"
Before the words were finished, the rooftop was already empty.
Liu Yingying ran into the room to get the first-aid kit and came out to treat Xue Ye's wounds.
"Why don't you take care of your body?"
"Although this wound doesn't look serious, it was still caused by a knife. What if it gets tetanus?"
Xue Ye looked at her with a wronged expression.
Liu Yingying's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time she had ever looked at her like that, like a wounded little animal in the jungle.
"Alright, alright, I won't scold you anymore. Now tell me why you agreed to leave with them?"
"Does it mean you think I don't earn enough to support you?"
Xue Ye said with a sigh, "Wu Feng and Hua Yue are both people of the Third Elder. He used to be on good terms with my maternal grandfather. Now that the Yi Yue tribe is in turmoil, the Third Elder hopes that I can go back and inherit the duties of the High Priest."
Liu Yingying was puzzled; "But why did they choose you of all people?"
Xue Ye gave a helpless bitter smile; "Because if it weren't for the accident, my mother should have been the new high priest of the Yiyue tribe, but after giving birth to me, she lost her prophetic powers!"
"So, you mean..." Liu Yingying looked at him in disbelief, but she already knew the answer in her heart.
Xue Ye nodded in agreement; "That's right, all the prophetic power in my mother's body was transferred to me through my bloodline, and I inherited the most powerful prophetic power of the Yiyue Clan in the past five hundred years, so they won't let me go!"
"If I don't leave, both you and your mother will be in constant danger, and I hope you can live a peaceful life!"
Liu Yingying grabbed his well-defined hands and advised, "The Yiyue tribe is no ordinary place. You're just a naive young man who grew up in the mountains. You're not as shrewd as they are. They'll play you to death!"
She still wanted to persuade him not to go back rashly.
But Xue Ye suddenly asked out of the blue, "Is Aunt worried about me?"
"Of course I'm worried about you!" Liu Yingying replied without hesitation, not thinking there was anything wrong with her words.
But a blush crept onto Xue Ye's cheeks...
But his attitude was firm, and this time no one could persuade him!
"I will leave after I take you back to Furong County..."
“You…” Liu Yingying stared at his resolute face, a word stuck in her throat but she couldn’t utter it…
Now the shop's business is completely on track, and even though Liu Yingying has left the capital, Zhang Hui is able to manage the business very well.
Before leaving, Liu Yingying even hosted a lavish banquet at her home.
Ah Huang's children sat at one table, and the adults sat at another. Amidst the heavy snowfall, everyone enjoyed a steaming hot pot.
My heart felt both warm and bittersweet.
"Sister Liu, I really can't bear to part with you. If it weren't for the fact that we haven't found Gou'er yet, I would want to go back with you!"
Zhang Hui held Liu Yingying's hand, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Li Niangzi, Jiang Niangzi, and others also expressed their reluctance to see her leave.
Madam Wan then pulled her son to his feet and knelt down before Liu Yingying.
"What are you doing?" Liu Yingying asked in surprise, and went to help the person.
But he was rejected.
"Qing'er, quickly kowtow to the county magistrate!"
"If it weren't for Lady Ning'an, I'm afraid I would never have been able to find you before I died!"
These were the same words that Madam Wan had said when she found Qing'er, and she brought them up again today.
