A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 505: A new order is always better than a chaotic world full of panic

"Xiaolu, do you know about Shadow Gate?"

Si Yao left the courtyard and went straight back to the clinic. Although it was almost noon, no patients came for treatment yet. In his spare time, he thought of Hong Hua's words, so he turned to ask at the small path on the side.

"The Shadow Gate is an extremely mysterious assassination organization that is spread across many countries. They are like ghosts in the dark. No one knows where they are hiding. The rumors about them among the people are all bloody. Once someone is targeted by the Shadow Gate, they will never have peace in their life until they die." Xiaolu did not ask any more questions, but answered truthfully.

"The leader of the Shadow Clan promised in front of the King that he would not embarrass Yan Yu anymore. He shouldn't go back on his word, right?" Si Yao frowned and thought for a moment before continuing to ask.

"Once you enter the Shadow Sect, it's hard to get out. The Shadow Sect has always valued profit over trust. I'm afraid that only Master took the promise seriously." Xiaolu shook his head and smiled disapprovingly.

“Don’t they even take the prince seriously?” Si Yao took another breath when he heard this. How could such a terrifying assassination organization be so rampant in so many countries?

"Master, didn't you say that you would have nothing to do with the two sisters after they left Sanxiu Pharmacy? Even if Yingmen goes back on their word, it is still a personal grudge between them. Master, please don't interfere." Xiaolu didn't dare to say much about the relationship between His Highness and Yingmen. He also didn't want his master to be dragged into the vortex of grievances by the two sisters, so he had to advise them earnestly.

"After all, Xuanyu is a patient that I have spent so much effort to treat at Sanxiu Pharmacy for such a long time. Now I have a certain sympathy with her. No matter as a doctor or a friend, I can't ignore her. The Shadow Sect is so terrible, it is hard to imagine what will happen to Xuanyu if she falls into their hands again?" Having said this, Si Yao closed her eyes in pain. Just a pill with the poison of Hua Bite had tortured Xuanyu into this state. She didn't dare to think about what vicious tricks the Shadow Sect would use in the future to deal with such a powerless person. Not to mention that she already regarded Xuanyu as a friend, even if she was just a chance acquaintance, she would not watch her die in this situation.

After Si Yao finished speaking, Xiao Lu did not say anything else. Even though he tried to persuade her, he knew that his master was a very affectionate person. If she was determined to help, she would not give up easily.

The spring was bright and beautiful all day, and Si Yao didn't get up until the evening when the pharmacy closed. She went to the front yard alone and looked at the sunset in the west. Missing him again surged in her heart. It was also on the Lantern Festival that she learned about the sudden death of King Han in the capital. Although she understood the reason why King Zong had not returned to the south for a long time, she was still worried about him.

"Miss Si Yao."

"Xin girl?"

Si Yao turned around and was surprised to see Xin Nu, who immediately stepped forward with full of expectation and asked, "Is the Zong Wang back?"

"Your Highness has sent someone to deliver a message as fast as possible, saying that they will arrive tonight. I know that the girl has been worried about Your Highness, so I came here to tell you." Xin Nu bowed and replied.

Hearing that the person she missed every day was finally coming back, Si Yao was ecstatic, and her longing for him was like a raging wave that could not be resisted. She couldn't wait to see him, so she hurriedly said a few words to Xiaolu and went to the villa with Xinnu.

"It's almost dark. Where are Sister Si Yao and that Xin girl going?" Guo Ying ran to the front yard and happened to see Si Yao walking out of the pharmacy. She couldn't help but ask Xiaolu curiously.

"Where else can we go with Xin Nu?" Xiaolu said with a meaningful smile.

"You mean the prince is back?" Guo Ying immediately understood and said in surprise.

"The little medicine boy has become smarter." Xiaolu raised his hand and touched her head and continued to smile lovingly.

"Here we go again! You're so proud of yourself now that you're the master's disciple!" Guo Ying rolled her eyes and yelled as the two of them started chasing each other in the front yard again.

Their nonchalant playfulness had already become commonplace to other people in the pharmacy.

Night fell, it was already the hour of Xu, the lights were on in the prince's villa outside Mucheng, Si Yao wandered in the courtyard, waiting quietly.

"Miss Si Yao, it's getting late, and we don't know when His Highness will arrive. Why don't you eat something first?" At this time, Xin Nu came over with a bowl of hot noodle soup and advised.

"I'm not hungry yet, you eat." Si Yao shook her head and smiled at her. She was anxiously waiting and had no appetite.

Ms. Xin said nothing, but silently took the noodle soup back to the kitchen.

Time flies, but Si Yao feels that tonight is particularly long. She wanders outside the courtyard and comes to the hall. Because of the cold night, Xin Nu invites her to the study upstairs. The warm fragrance in the room calms her mind, and Si Yao falls asleep unconsciously. In her dream, she finally sees Yan Zong who has returned safely. She is so happy that she realizes that she is being picked up by someone, so she suddenly opens her eyes and sees the handsome face of her lover enlarged in front of her.

"Did I wake you up?" Seeing her wake up in his arms, Yan Zong's face was full of tenderness.

Si Yao was stunned for a moment, then raised her hands and hugged him tightly. Only when she smelled the scent of cypress on his body did she truly feel that she was not in a dream.

"Among the three hundred and sixty diseases, only lovesickness causes pain. Si Yao, I suffer from lovesickness every day I stay in Shangjing City." After Yan Zong put Si Yao on the bed, he immediately held her in his arms, kissed her ear and whispered.

After a day's journey, Yan Zong came back here and learned that she was waiting for him. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic and all his fatigue disappeared.

"When did you arrive? Did you have a smooth journey?" Si Yao leaned on his shoulder, listening to his whispers, her heart was moved. However, she couldn't say any sweet words, so she was silent for a long time before asking with concern.

"I just came back. I was delayed for a few days because the roads were difficult to travel during the snow melting season." Yan Zong still hugged her tightly and continued to reply gently.

"I'm glad you're back safely." Si Yao sat up and gently stroked his tired face, unable to help but feel distressed.

"Ayao... I want to call you like this?" Yan Zong's heart was filled with affection, and he leaned closer, whispering softly while his thin lips couldn't help but touch her cheek.

"Okay." Si Yao responded softly and leaned forward to respond to his affection.

The passionate kiss eased the pain of missing each other that they had been experiencing for some time.

"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"

The sound of the night watchman outside woke Si Yao up, and she pushed Yan Zong away abruptly: "It's midnight, I should go back."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and tried to leave, but Yan Zongzi hugged her from behind:

"Ayao, why don't you stay here tonight? After tomorrow, I have to go north again..."

"Going north? Why in such a hurry? Is Xiyue going to start a war again?" Si Yao felt panicked when she heard this. She turned around and asked him nervously.

"Western Moon is not trying to start a war. We just want to put an end to this chaotic situation as soon as possible. Only when the world is united can the people live and work in peace and contentment for a long time."

The unification of the world will be achieved at the cost of countless lives and rivers of blood. Can the Xiyue Dynasty really allow the people of the world to live and work in peace?

Si Yao looked at the determination in Yan Zong's eyes. Although she had doubts in her heart, she knew that she was not qualified to judge his ambitions. She did not want war to break out in this world, but she also thought that a new order would always be better than a chaotic world where people were in panic. In a stable environment, there would no longer be a breeding ground for cruel assassination organizations like Yingmen.
