The scene of Yu Sheng and Yunian’s tragic death flashed through Yu Bai’s mind, bringing a sharp pain.
Yu Bai wiped away the tears that were surging in his eyes and took a deep breath.
She forced herself to suppress the sob in her throat and turned to Yu Sheng and said, "Brother, I'm going to the bathroom."
Yu Sheng just pretended not to see anything: "Hurry up and come back, it's almost time to check in."
The restroom in the high-speed rail station is bright and clean, and the cold white tiles reflect the light, which is a bit dazzling.
Yu Bai walked to the washbasin and looked at the tear-stained face in the mirror, feeling a strong sense of self-loathing.
twice!
Just by hearing the news about Zhao Jia through the crowd or from the phone, she broke down twice!
The hopeless ending of her previous life, those... images, grew like cancer cells deep in her soul.
The resentment is real, and so is the fear that runs deep in the bones.
She thought that after being reborn and having her own space, she could plan calmly and act cautiously.
But every time she faced Zhao Jia directly—even if only indirectly—the extreme pain and mental torture would come back, tearing the psychological defenses she had worked so hard to build to the point of collapse.
How can this go on?
Yu Bai suddenly turned on the faucet, splashing—
The cold tap water splashed on my face, and the biting chill instantly dispelled the chaos in my mind and the remaining tears.
She closed her eyes and let the cold water wash over her, as if to wash away her cowardice and fear.
When he raised his head again, the eyes in the mirror no longer had any fragility, leaving only the coldness of ice and an almost cruel determination.
He couldn't even look his enemy in the face, and fear of him and Zhou An'an still lingered in his heart. How could he talk about revenge? How could he talk about victory?
She can't be so weak anymore!
After sorting out his turbulent emotions, Yu Bai was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly felt a familiar burning sensation in his earlobe.
Space, someone is coming!
Her heart trembled, and she quickly glanced around to confirm that no one was paying attention, then quickly slipped into a nearby empty compartment.
With a "click", it was locked neatly.
The next second, her figure disappeared in the narrow compartment and entered the personal space.
In the space, Prince Fusu, dressed in dark Qin clothes, was waiting quietly.
Yu Bai stepped forward in surprise: "Master Fusu? Why are you here? I remember you said before..."
She remembered Fusu mentioned that he wanted to return to the capital Xianyang as soon as possible.
Before he could finish his words, he saw a rare hint of unnaturalness flash across the other person's usually calm and indifferent face.
He slightly turned sideways, bowed politely to Yu Bai, and said in a clear voice, "Miss Yu."
This slightly formal and even cautious address made Yu Bai raise his eyebrows.
Fusu then cleared his throat briefly before explaining his purpose: "I'm sorry to have come here... to exchange some food with Miss Yu."
"Food?"
Yu Bai was really surprised this time, and his clear eyes widened slightly.
You know, ever since Master Fusu established contact with her through this mysterious space channel, almost every transaction has revolved around the crystal core.
Food, this is the first time that this has been clearly mentioned.
Could it be...that something unexpected happened in Xianyang?
As if seeing through her doubts, Fusu stepped aside, revealing two large open wooden boxes behind him.
The box was filled with a dazzling array of small yet exquisite items.
Jade bi rings and pendants with warm colors and delicate carvings;
Pottery music figurines with simple shapes and smooth lines;
There are even a few small bronze vessels with a quiet and cold light and intricate patterns, such as jue and ding.
Yu Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.
These small objects are imbued with a unique, ancient charm and a profound sense of history that has been accumulated over thousands of years...
It was exactly the same as the national treasures she had seen through the thick glass in major museums!
what does that mean?
This means that any one of these inconspicuous little gadgets is worth a fortune!
Can be exchanged for astronomical wealth!
"These are all found according to Miss Yu's previous preferences."
There was a subtle hint of temptation in Fusu's voice.
"I wonder if I could exchange it for some...bread and sweets?"
"Change! Of course!"
Yu Bai's brows almost immediately lit up with joy, his voice filled with uncontrollable joy, and even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were stained with a bright smile.
"How much do you need, sir? Just ask!"
Her unconcealed joy and excitement were clearly seen by Fusu.
He felt a little relieved, knowing that his efforts were not in vain and that he had taken the right approach by catering to the other party's interests.
This mysterious girl Yu indeed has an extraordinary love for these exquisite objects that embody craftsmanship and time.
It seems that I will have to put more effort into this aspect in future transactions.
Fusu secretly made up his mind: after returning to Xianyang and stabilizing the situation, he would summon skilled craftsmen from all over the world to make more exquisite things like this for Miss Yu.
Not only should there be quantity, but also excellence, preferably a one-of-a-kind, exquisitely crafted piece!
In this way, he could continuously exchange from her the magical "food" and "crystal cores" that could fill the stomachs of the Qin soldiers and improve the strength of the elite soldiers.
In the long run, this deal is of vital importance to Daqin and Fusu!
