Chapter 410: Chapter 411 The Answer Lies Within _1
The sorceress asked her with a smile, “What did I promise you?”
Purple Sumrs was taken aback, then slightly widened her eyes, “You’re quite old, you wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?”
The sorceress laughed, “I’m old, and my mory isn’t as good. Perhaps you could remind , what exactly did I promise you?”
“You said that as long as I helped you and allowed you to stay in Peachwater Village, you would tell who that person is!”
Purple Sumrs watched the sorceress intently, suspecting that the old woman was preparing to renege on her promise.
Who knew the sorceress would ponder for a mont and then slowly said,
“Hmm, it seems there was such an affair…”
Purple Sumrs asked, “Can you tell now? Who is the person I’m looking for, and where is he now?”
But the sorceress countered with a question, “You clearly know the answer in your heart, why co to and ask?”
Purple Sumrs was stunned, her face changing subtly, “…What do you an by that?”
“Why would you repeatedly question others about sothing you already know the answer to? Is it because you lack confidence? Or perhaps… you hope to find a different answer to deny what you know?” The sorceress gazed at Purple Sumrs with a benign smile, “I only serve guests who don’t have the answers in their hearts. Young lady, please leave.”
“You…” Purple Sumrs was frustrated, “Isn’t that deceiving people?!”
It was clearly empty talk!
It’s like a shy girl who cos to ask if the person she has feelings for likes her in return.
And the reply is: The answer is in your heart.
Such an answer was as good as giving none, it was a typical brush-off!
Purple Sumrs, not satisfied, pressed on, “Who is he really? Is he the person I have in my heart?!”
But no matter how she asked, the sorceress wouldn’t pay her any more attention, simply lowering her head and holding an ox horn comb, rhythmically combing her granddaughter’s long hair.
Purple Sumrs was out of options.
With a helpless sigh, she reluctantly left.
Stepping outside the gate, she looked up at the cloudless azure sky and felt foolish.
Because of a vague statent from the sorceress, she had eagerly pursued a case, thinking that she was finally about to see everything fall into place, but in the end…
She did indeed have a guess in her mind.
However, precisely because her guess and doubts remained unconfird, she was in urgent need of an external force to help her see the truth.
Even if it were baseless nonsense from a wandering sorcerer…
Purple Sumrs walked back feeling a sense of loss, not knowing what exactly she was lanting or, perhaps, looking forward to.
Her phone rang, and she answered the call without thinking.
Alexander Sumrs’ displeased voice sounded in her ear, “Why did you run off to Peachwater Village again? I think you’re asking for it, always running around.”
Purple Sumrs pouted and said, “I’ll be right back, I’m heading to the train station now.”
“Just find a place to stay put, I’m already here and coming to pick you up,” Alexander replied.
“Oh, got it,” Purple Sumrs agreed very obediently.
She hung up the phone, took a look around, and seeing a pavilion nearby, walked over to sit and rest.
Today, there was no wind, and the sunlight of winter could be considered precious, warming her cozily.
Purple Sumrs basked in the sun for a while until she vaguely felt soone watching her. She turned her head and saw the sorceress’s granddaughter standing not far away, still looking about eight or nine years old.
She watched Purple Sumrs quietly, not speaking nor showing any expression.
Purple Sumrs couldn’t figure out her intentions.
After soaking in the sun for a bit longer, Alexander’s car arrived.
Purple Sumrs saw the little girl make a gesture toward her—first pointing at Purple Sumrs, then at Alexander getting out of the car and walking closer.
At first, Purple Sumrs couldn’t understand, clouded with doubt; but after a mont of bewildernt, she suddenly realized.
