Chapter 216: The Dongfang Family’s Call for Help (6)
Wei Yiyi was staring dazedly at one side. She had followed Shifu for three years, but she had never seen her let out such a dazzling smile. Her smile was so beautiful, it could touch people’s hearts.
“Heaven City, the Xia Family.” The young girl’s face held a subtle glow as her eyes seemed to be looking into faraway memories. A hint of guilt flashed across her countenance.
Yu’er, it’s been three years. I can finally go looking for you. You have to wait for me. In this life, I won’t let you suffer the pain you did in your previous life.
“Heaven City?” Dongfang Shaoze frowned, “Heaven City’s power is on par with the Dongfang Family. Yun’er, I don’t know how you’re related to the Xia Family, but if someone tries to make things difficult for you, then send Elder Yu to notify me. The Xia Family still has to show some respect to the Dongfang Family, no matter what.”
“I understand.”
Gu Ruoyun nodded her head. The most important thing was to find a way to get the entry token for Heaven City. So she had to travel to Black Tortoise Country first…
……
After Dongfang Shaoze bid his goodbyes and left, Gu Ruoyun returned to the inner courtyard. Just as she entered, an arm reached out and pulled her into an embrace. The man’s head of silver hair fell like a waterfall around them, as his bewitching red clothes fluttered in the wind. His arms were locked tightly around the girl, as if afraid that she would suddenly leave.
Gu Ruoyun didn’t resist and allowed the man to keep her in his embrace. After a long while, a low voice resounded by her ear: “You’re leaving?”
“Yes.”
Gu Ruoyun nodded and replied him with a single syllable.
“I can’t go with you?” The man’s voice carried grievance and resentment.
“Xiao Ye, I’m going there to look for someone very important to me. I’ll be back really soon. Wait for me here, okay?”
Someone very important to her?
The man’s arms slowly loosened as he looked at her with hidden bitterness. His posture was every bit the abandoned wife, his handsome visage filled with grief. For some reason, when he had heard the girl speak of that important person, his heart had started hurting. That pain… was something he had seemingly experienced before…
“Xiao Ye,” Gu Ruoyun smiled, “I’m not very certain of what I’m going to do this time. I don’t know if he’s the one I’m looking for either. However, no matter what, I have to make this trip. In my heart, you, Zixie, my older brother, and Yu’er, are all equally important to me. If I lose a single one of you, I would walk the edges of this earth and back to find you again. I’m not letting you come with me this time because the entry token for Heaven City is hard to get. Unless I’m with one of the great families of Heaven City, an entry token only admits a single person. If I had to get a single token, I might still be able to find a way to get one. Two tokens would be a stretch.”
Qianbei Ye’s aggrieved expression turned into a blinding smile after hearing her words. What she meant was that, he was very important to her?
“Alright, Xiao Yun, I’ll wait for you to come back. Ten years, twenty years or even a hundred years, I’ll be here waiting for you.”
Even if he had to spend the rest of his life, he would wait here for her…
“Shifu, when are you leaving?”
Wei Yiyi rubbed her nose. It was probably only in front of Gu Ruoyun that Qianbei Ye, who made all enemies tremble in fear, would act this innocent.
“Right now.”
Gu Ruoyun mumbled to herself for a bit before raising her head: “Wei Yiyi, after I go, bring Uncle Luo and Luo Yin to the headquarters of the Devil Sect. Give them a position as well.”
After saying so, she looked up at the sky absentmindedly. She could almost see that young boy’s bashful smile…
“Yu’er, wait for me. Jiejie will be able to find you soon. From then on, we’ll never have to part.”
TL Note: Jiejie = older sister.
