Chapter 1099: Chapter 1085: Contradiction Chapter 1099: Chapter 1085: Contradiction “Haven’t you finished your business yet?” Guo Yuyun asked.
Song Xizhi caught the underlying aning, scratched his head, and said, “I’m disturbing you here.”
“That’s not true, but I’m afraid I’m taking up your ti.”
“Not at all, I’d like to rest a bit too.”
Guo Yuyun smiled. This young man seed genuinely a bit foolish. She added, “As for my situation, I’m sure you know I’m completely unable to accept another person right now.” It was better to be forthright.
“I can give you ti,” Song Xizhi said, seeing the other party so blunt. There was nothing to hide, so he spoke candidly.
“I’m afraid you’ll get hurt.” Guo Yuyun stood up, walked out of the room to the yard, where a tray of flowers had blood, probably earlier that morning; she had only just found out.
“It’s okay, I’m not afraid of getting hurt,” Song Xizhi said.
“You really are a fool.” Guo Yuyun continued, “I heard that my mother talked to you. Is that true?”
Song Xizhi was sowhat surprised to hear this. He didn’t deny it and said, “She did seek out.”
“It must have been about , right?”
“Yes, your mother said you were feeling down and asked to spend more ti with you, to talk to you more.”
Guo Yuyun figured as much and replied, “That’s just like my mother, always that way. Don’t worry about , I’m really okay now. I’ve gotten past that hurdle, truly!”
Song Xizhi walked beside Guo Yuyun and said, “I can give you ti.” He didn’t believe she would always be this way; she had to co out of it eventually, she just had to.
“Right now, I truly don’t want to think about these things, and I don’t know how long it will take for to get over them. It could be a year or two, who knows.”
“That’s alright, we can start by being friends.”
Guo Yuyun looked at the naive young man, thinking she should have said eight or nine years, and laughed, “Aren’t we friends already?”
“Yes, we’re friends now.”
“You’ve kept company these days, and I’ve been very happy, honestly. I’m very grateful to you. I’m completely fine now; you should go back,” Guo Yuyun said.
Song Xizhi had considered this too. He couldn’t stay in Demon Palace City forever. He said, “Can I send you carrier pigeon ssages then?”
She couldn’t refuse, that would be too rude. She laughed and said, “Of course, if you wish to.” As long as he left, anything was fine. She knew that during this ti, many people were already gossiping, and if this continued, others would surely think the two of them were a couple. She didn’t want those misunderstandings, and more importantly, she was worried about hurting him.
Song Xizhi laughed and said, “Can I co visit you when I have ti?”
“Naturally, didn’t we agree that as friends, I can co to see you?” Guo Yuyun laughed.
“Yes, you seem to like flowers a lot,” Song Xizhi was already overjoyed.
“Nothing else to do, just a bit of casual research.”
“Your sister seems to be very interested in flowers too.”
Guo Yuyun said, “Yes, she’s definitely more knowledgeable about flowers than I am. I learned from her, but I only know half as much as she does.”
Song Xizhi did have so knowledge of flowers and comnted, “This tray of orchids is blooming nicely, they’re quite large for orchids.”
“You’ve researched them too?” Guo Yuyun looked at the tray of orchids that had blood that morning.
“I’m only half-knowledgeable as well.”
Guo Yuyun chuckled and said, “I’ve been waiting for this tray of orchids to bloom for a long ti. I didn’t expect them to flower when I was least paying attention. It’s just a sha they’re all on their own, it would look much nicer if there were a few more blossoms.”
“I’ll send you a tray, it will definitely be better than this one.”
“You don’t need to go to the expense.”
Song Xizhi hurriedly said, “It’s okay, I like orchids too and have grown several kinds myself.”
He Xibai ca in with tea and snacks, saying, “You two are having a good chat, aren’t you!”
Guo Yuyun knew exactly what that mischievous girl was thinking and smirked coldly.
It wasn’t long before Wu Jingge ca in, actually bringing fishing hooks with him.
Because Song Xizhi had agreed to leave, Guo Yuyun was quite pleased and suggested, “Let’s go fishing.”
Aiyo, He Xibai still found it sowhat unbelievable, she actually agreed to go fishing without making excuses, which felt quite unexpected. She nudged Guo Yuyun and said, “Hey, you didn’t hesitate at all.”
Guo Yuyun just gave a cold laugh, considering that they’ve already agreed to leave, how could he be so heartless? At the very least, he should leave them with a good farewell.
Being sullen for so many days, you can’t leave that kind of impression, right?
Song Xizhi was even more delighted. Although what Guo Yuyun had just said suggested a rejection, she could understand. Just as Wu Jingge said, soone who just went through a relationship couldn’t accept another one so quickly—it’s not realistic; these things need ti.
What’s important is that Ye Chen left, aning that as long as there’s enough ti, and they take things slowly, there will surely be a chance.
“Do you want to call your sister over to join us?” Song Xizhi asked.
He Xibai said, “I’ll have soone call her; you guys eat sothing first.”
Song Xizhi’s appetite suddenly surged.
Guo Yuyun asked, “By the way, I heard Ren Xiongbei is dead, is that really true?”
Wu Jingge summarized the situation.
Guo Yuyun originally didn’t want to know, but he had heard it from a few maids in the yard. Hearing Wu Jingge say that Ren Xiongbei was killed by soone with an unknown identity, he suddenly beca a bit more interested and puzzled, “You’re saying they still haven’t found the killer who murdered Ren Xiongbei?”
Wu Jingge replied, “That person was too fast, he killed him in an instant, and before anyone could react, he had already fled.”
“This person’s martial arts must be very formidable, otherwise how could he kill Ren Xiongbei in front of everyone?” Song Xizhi said.
Guo Yuyun said, “What’s his actual reason for killing Ren Xiongbei though, what’s the motive?”
Wu Jingge said, “That’s the most bizarre part, the eeriest part of it all.”
“Killing to silence him?” Guo Yuyun asked casually.
“Don’t know, the most important thing is, people like Fan Fei were also in the forest, got killed by an unidentified person.”
“Fan Fei?”
“Yes, at that ti, Ren Xiongbei led away the people from Qingxuan Sect and Heavenly City Sect, and his son, together with Fan Fei, escaped. But nobody expected that they would be killed on the way, except for the missing Ren Haotian.”
Guo Yuyun was astonished, “It wasn’t done by soone from Qingxuan Sect or Heavenly City Sect?”
Wu Jingge shook his head and said, “No, aside from Fan Fei, the rest of them were killed in one move, without any chance to fight back. Neither Wan Shajiang nor Xiong Shuobo had such an ability.”
Guo Yuqing had instructed Li Mo, but now, more than a month had passed without any news about Ye Chen. Instead, she heard that chaos had erupted across the Thirty-six Islands, which worried her.
Rumors said the Thirty-six Islands were undergoing a massacre for the Sacred Spirit Stone, and many had died, but it was unknown if this was true or not. Divine Doctor Zhu’s words still echoed in her mind, if Ye Chen couldn’t control the magic power within his body, it could act up at any mont.
Luo Rui walked in, glanced at the daydreaming Guo Yuqing, and said, “I think that young man nad Song Xizhi is interested in Guo Yuyun.”
Guo Yuqing had noticed that long ago.
Luo Rui added, “I heard that your stepmother likes this young man quite a bit. It’s been over a month since Ye Chen’s death, she should move on, start a new life.”
Guo Yuqing looked over but didn’t speak, unsure of what to say. Luo Rui didn’t know that Ye Chen was still alive, and Wan Danrong had left a few days ago to go back to the Wastelands. Now, she didn’t know if Ye Chen could really get better; she hadn’t told Luo Rui about Ye Chen’s situation.
“What do you think of that young man?” Luo Rui asked.
“I haven’t thought about it.”
“Today, I saw your sister going out to fish, and it was Song Xizhi who accompanied her. He’s the son of the Sect Leader of the Nine Leaves Sect and seems to like your sister a lot. I think he’s very suitable for Yun’er.”
Guo Yuqing smiled faintly and said, “Do you really think so?”
“Of course, your sister can’t remain single forever. She has to start a new life at so point. I consider Song Xizhi to be a very good match. Importantly, your stepmother approves and seems intent on bringing them together.
After listening, Guo Yuqing smiled faintly but wasn’t too excited. She wondered if this was wrong, now that she didn’t know Ye Chen’s condition. She couldn’t tell her sister that Ye Chen was still alive, yet for so reason, she felt a sense of guilt.
“What’s the matter? You seem burdened by heavy thoughts. Is there sothing on your mind?”
“That young man, does he truly like my sister?” She couldn’t possibly not know. Today, He Xibai ca over and asked her to join them fishing, but she said she had sothing to do and didn’t go.
“Of course, there’s no doubt about it! He’s definitely into your sister, and not just a little—it’s the very serious type. Otherwise, why would he stay here for more than ten days after hearing your stepmother, and go looking for Guo Yuyun every day? I’m actually a bit embarrassed for him; there’s no prior relationship, but the fact that he’s doing this clearly shows his sincere interest in your sister.”
“Do you think there’s a chance for them?”
Luo Rui laughed and said, “Why not? Ye Chen has already died, your sister did like Ye Chen, but eventually, she has to move on. Your mom certainly won’t let her stay single forever; she’ll have to find soone. Song Xizhi, I see, is a determined person; staying in Demon Palace City for so many days, seeking out your sister every day, not fearing other people’s ridicule—if that’s not determination, what is it?”
