Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Brushing Past Each Other (5)
Ah Mi carefully examined the plaque handed to her by her grandmother-in-law, unaware that when Xiao Yu heard the words "dicine Sect" and "Master Ye," she froze as if struck by lightning.
dicine Sect... Master Ye... Xuandu City...
Suddenly, her mind was flooded with blurry images including the man who had been haunting her dreams, causing her heartache, and the people who made her feel safe and happy. Her mind flashed through many things - dicine Sect, Master Ye, Xuandu City, so family, a cat and a dog, until all the images finally froze on the figure of a tall, imposing man with a cold aura.
Xiao Yu so wanted to touch his lonely figure and embrace him tightly in his arms. But every ti she tried to touch him, the figure would dissolve into nothingness. She desperately wanted to see what the man really looked like, feeling that if she did not return to his side soon, this man would certainly be overwheld with hysterical pain and despair.
"Xiao Yu? Xiao Yu! Did you rember sothing again?"
Ah Mi and the grandmother brought her back from her thoughts, looking at her worriedly.
"No, it’s just that the na dicine Sect sounds sowhat familiar, I always feel like it was ntioned a lot before."
Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, the old lady’s eyebrows knit slightly, lost in thought.
"Oh, stop thinking, get so good rest, we’re going to Xuandu City tomorrow. You can choose where to go, you’ll rember eventually."
Ah Mi took Xiao Yu back to the bedroom, unaware that behind them, the grandmother’s puzzled gaze lingered on Xiao Yu’s departing figure.
anwhile, in Xuanjin Xuandu.
An Yiqing had been missing for over half a month, and many people had already begun to despair. There were even so malicious rumors in Xuandu City saying that An Yiqing had died outside and couldn’t return.
Gu Yelin, who had been busy searching for her, flew into a rage upon hearing this, tearing apart several gossipers despite everyone’s attempts to stop him, scaring everyone into not daring to speak ill of An Yiqing’s demise again.
Inside the An Family Mansion, the mood was as gloomy as it had been half a month ago.
Old Lady An sat on the sofa holding a photo of An Yiqing, incessantly crying. Her hair, once darkened by the Cultivation of Ancient Martial Arts, had now turned completely white, making her appear decades older.
By her side, Kong Shi silently wiped all of An Yiqing’s picture fras, as if by cleaning them more, she could see her daughter sooner.
At that mont, Aunt Li quietly approached with a tray of food.
"Madam, ma’am, please have so lunch."
Aunt Li watched the mother and daughter-in-law lay down their tasks and obediently start eating. Rather than feeling reassured, her heart sank even deeper.
Since Miss Qing’s disappearance, the two had been functioning like robots, eating normally and sleeping normally, but their spirits were utterly lacking. Aunt Li was certain that if they received definite news of Miss Qing’s death, both would collapse on the spot.
With a deep sigh, Aunt Li quietly withdrew. Since the day An Yiqing disappeared, she had been praying fervently, burning incense and praying for An Yiqing’s safe return.
Due to An Yiqing’s disappearance, the An family mobilized everyone to search in Pulo Ocean; An Zisheng and his sons took turns guarding near Snake Island, personally overseeing the search.
Yet, even so, half a month had passed, and there was still no sign of An Yiqing.
During this ti, no one had seen Gu Yelin again. After comforting Kong Shi half a month ago, he seed to have vanished off the face of the earth.
