It was a pity, he didn’t keep that beauty and chose a path completely opposite of what Master wanted for him.
Collecting his thoughts, Jun Xin walked back and asked, “How do you know?”
Yuner showed him the rock he had rubbed till smooth and smiled innocently. “I divined it!”
Divined it?
Jun Xin nodded with an unclear expression. “Then tell , what did you find out?”
However, Yuner didn’t obediently answer him this ti and instead opened his clear eyes wide and threatened him while looking very scared. “As long as Big Brother Jun Xin agrees to one thing for , I’ll tell Big Brother Jun Xin where they went and news about the person you’re looking for.”
This kid actually dared to pressure him?
He looked at those fawn-like eyes. He could easily ask his subordinates and get the information he wanted but… Jun Xin smiled seamlessly and said, “Speak, what is it?”
When Yuner saw that he seed inclined to agree, he blurted out excitedly, “Help save Big Sister San Yu!”
As expected, this was it. “Is San Yu really that important to you?”
For the sake of that girl, not only had he been driven out of the Pri Minister Residence by his own father, his father even severed their father-son ties. He even had to live on the streets for more than a month as a beggar, yet he didn’t seem to care about any of this. The only thing he cared about was San Yu. Every ti he saw soone he had t before, he would say this sa sentence, ‘help save Big Sister San Yu.’
It was just a sha that when he was in the Pri Minister Residence, he was treated as a fool and often jeered at. Now that he had fallen to this level, even fewer people were willing to help him.
There was no one willing to send coal into the snow, but there were plenty of people who would throw stones at soone who fell down a well.
Despite having encountered so many people like that, he didn’t complain or show any anger at all, and still only thought about saving San Yu.
Could it be that he had feelings towards that girl?
“Big Sister San Yu is the most important person to Yuner. Yuner swore before that Yuner would protect Big Sister San Yu for an entire lifeti, but Yuner is very useless. Yuner can’t do a single thing, Yuner can’t do a single thing…”
All of this, from the solemn vow to the helpless sobs were all so pure and sincere. It caused Jun Xin to be moved. He looked towards Yuner and said, “I’ll help you get San Yu out, but you also have to promise one thing.”
“As long as you save Big Sister San Yu, even if it’s ten things, a hundred, Yuner would still agree!” Jun Xin’s words gave Yuner a lot of hope. Originally he wanted to ask Tang Doudou to help, but after Tang Doudou ca back, if she wasn’t busy to the point that she was barely around, she was missing due to so reason or another. She was simply too busy to pay attention to his matters.
Now that he saw Jun Xin intended to help, he imdiately shifted his hopes to Jun Xin.
“Alright. However, once you’ve promised sothing, you’re not allowed to go back on your word. Otherwise…” Jun Xin allowed his cold aura to spread and pressured Yuner to the point he could barely breathe. “I can help you get San Yu out, but I can also send her right back in.”
Yuner nodded fearfully. Currently, he couldn’t guess Jun Xin’s intentions at all. He didn’t know what Jun Xin wanted to know, but he had always been good at sensing things. As of now, he had a premonition that once San Yu was saved, they’d have to bid each other farewell, perhaps forever.
Jun Xin’s efficiency didn’t require much explanation. He went directly to Xi Qiulin and demanded for the person. San Yu was the princess of the previous dynasty so Xi Qiulin naturally refused to release her. However, once Jun Xin said he’d guaranteed that San Yu wouldn’t return to Huai City nor ever sche to overthrow the current reign, he finally agreed to allow Jun Xin to find a substitute.
With that, he only needed to execute the substitute and the world would no longer have a princess from the previous dynasty. This would safeguard his hold on imperial power.
As for Jun Xin, he didn’t care as long as he could get San Yu out.
San Yu reunited in Bai Courtyard with Yuner. They talked for a while, then soone ca to take San Yu out of Huai City.
“Yuner, I’m leaving, you have to take care of yourself, alright?” San Yu had found out from Jun Xin how hard Yuner had worked to save her and the prices he had paid. She blad herself a lot, especially because she had approached Yuner with impure motives from the start. She had intended to use this child to achieve her goal of revenge.
It was just a sha that she had been too naive. It was impossible to kill Xi Qiulin with the strength she had.
“Big Sister San Yu, you have to take care of yourself too and fulfill your dream of opening a big restaurant. At that ti, Yuner will definitely go there to freeload for food!”
Yuner smiled very sweetly, his eyes were so pure you could see the bottom. At this mont, he had no idea that these words would actually co true in the future. It was just that although things had remained the sa, people had changed. By the ti the two t again, they had long since beco strangers.
San Yu took a last look at him. It was ti to leave.
After San Yu left, Yuner headed with Jun Xin to Cloud City.
This information wasn’t sothing that Yuner had told him. When Jun Xin went to Xi Qiulin to ask for San Yu, he heard from Xi Qiulin that Tang Doudou had returned to Cloud City and Baili Yu had also rushed over due to a sentence from the Lord of Cloud City.
Another thing that was worth ntioning was that at this ti, the Lord of Cloud City had released more earth-shattering news.
That was, the child he had raised to adulthood, Li Xueyi, was actually a girl.
This news practically exploded the country to the point it flipped upside-down! Everyone forgot about the things that happened earlier and started discussing whether this news was true or not.
Although Cloud City had a lot of prestige, Su Yi had an extrely humorous personality and often liked to release these kinds of jokes to amuse the populace.
It was likely that it was the sa situation this ti.
However, very soon they got another piece of news that had been secretly spread through the underground channels.
The Lord of Cloud City was currently looking for a husband for Li Xueyi. As long as the proposer ca to his door and took out sothing that satisfied him, regardless of whether it was money or an item, he would betroth Li Xueyi to that person. The even more explosive news was what followed. The day Li Xueyi got married was the day he would yield his seat.
The mont this news was spread, it confird the past rumors.
It was said that all of Cloud City’s main influential powers had vehently opposed this decision, but Su Yi had done sothing and caused the voices that opposed it to gradually beco silent. As for this matter, it was simply intensifying. Quite a lot of people had started rushing towards Cloud City.
In the past, Cloud City wasn’t a place that anyone could go to, nor could anyone enter as freely as they wished. However, for the sake of getting a husband for Li Xueyi, Su Yi actually broke the rule that had been in place for a hundred years and opened the doors of Cloud City wide. He even made several paths that led to Cloud City.
No one could figure out what exactly Su Yi wanted.
Could it actually be that he simply wanted to find a husband for Li Xueyi?
However, this didn’t seem logical? Wasn’t Li Xueyi and Baili Yu already engaged? Was Su Yi trying to provoke Baili Yu with this move? Or was it that he was angry at Baili Yu for having snatched away his favorite and wanted to vent his anger through this?
However, regardless of the reason, the Cloud City that had withdrawn from worldly affairs for several hundred years had finally reappeared in front of everyone. If this opportunity was missed, no one knew if they’d live till a second opportunity ca around.
However, even though it was like this, there weren’t many people that could go. Who asked Su Yi to set a sky-high price on the map…
