Chapter 1525: Thought
Editor: Henyee Translations
Xie Miao diligently traced the signs left by Qiao Xuan and soon located the group on their way back.
With skills surpassing theirs, he expertly concealed himself and caught them off guard. Swiftly deploying poisonous hidden weapons, he killed two instantly and left two injured before they could recover from their initial shock. By the ti the last one attempted to flee, Xie Miao swiftly caught up and dispatched him with a single strike.
Glancing at the fallen six, Xie Miao nonchalantly sheathed his sword. In the desolate mountains with few inhabitants and scant decent paths, the remains would be swiftly claid by the voracious beasts. There was no need for him to trouble himself with cleaning up the aftermath.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Qiao Xuan’s account to Xie Jingrong was truthful, and there was no reason to doubt her words.
Worried about his Young Master, Xie Miao hastened his return. To his surprise, he found Madam Shao unconscious, lying on the soft grass beneath a tree’s shade. Xie Jingrong, along with Xie Dong and Xie Xi, appeared visibly concerned.
...
Shocked, Xie Miao approached and exclaid, “Young Master…”
Xie Jingrong diverted his attention from Qiao Xuan, casting a glance at Xie Miao. “She might have fainted from shock and exhaustion. I fear she won’t be fit to travel tonight. Find a suitable spot, and we’ll spend the night in the forest.”
Given her current state, it was uncertain when she would regain consciousness, and her tired body warranted rest.
Considering this, Xie Miao agreed and instructed Xie Dong and Xie Xi to locate a suitable spot for the night.
Observing Qiao Xuan, Xie Jingrong felt not concern about the night ahead but a subtle sense of happiness.
She was unlike any other woman he had encountered. Initially driven by curiosity, he unwittingly delved deeper into her world. The more attention he paid, the more intriguing she beca, imprinting herself in his heart, an indelible mark that refused to fade.
He acknowledged the wrongness of these sentints, understanding that he shouldn’t feel this way. But attempts to uproot these feelings only intensified them. Though outwardly composed, concealing his thoughts from others, he grappled with an internal turmoil.
During that period, his heart churned with pain, fearing that one day he’d be unable to conceal his emotions from her, leading to an awkward confrontation. Seeking solace, he left the province, wandering in an attempt to forget.
Unexpectedly, fate intervened, and their reunion unfolded dramatically under unforeseen circumstances. Only her presence, and no one else.
In Xie Jingrong’s heart, a whirlwind of emotions stirred. Joy, surprise, disappointnt, and loneliness intertwined, creating a complex tapestry of feelings. Yet, joy predominated. This unexpected journey presented a unique opportunity to be alone with her, to observe her without any pretense.
About two hours later, Qiao Xuan stirred, awakening to the unfolding chapter of their shared journey.
