A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 275: Continue to pretend to be confused

"Third brother, have you lost your mind? You want to leave Yanjiapo for a woman? Leave us brothers?"

On Yanjiapo, the second in command Xue Gen was so disappointed with his younger brother Zeng Si that he scolded him with a dark and angry face.

"Second brother, just treat me as a madman." Zeng Si smiled bitterly and lowered his eyes guiltily.

Xuanyu has been deliberately avoiding him since she came back from southern Xinjiang, which makes Zeng Si disheartened. He no longer dares to hope that Xuanyu will accept him. He only hopes to see her from time to time and help her solve her problems. But now he doesn't even have this extravagant hope.

Just when Zeng Si was depressed, his subordinates heard from Chaoyun City that Xuanyu was going to Southern Xinjiang again, which cheered him up again. He had heard Xuanyu mention that the Shadow Sect was now secretly controlled by the leader of the Xin Sect, and the leader of the Xin Sect had planned to move the headquarters to Southern Xinjiang in order to get rid of the current emperor of Xiyue Kingdom. So he guessed that Xuanyu must have made arrangements for this purpose before going to Southern Xinjiang.

Xuanyu's trip to southern Xinjiang was not as long as before. If the Shadow Clan succeeded in going south, she would probably stay in the south forever. Thinking of this, Zeng Si's heart began to ache again. Rather than worrying about her every day in Yanjiapo and suffering from lovesickness, it would be better to follow her. Even if they couldn't be together, at least he could arrive in time when she was in danger.

However, it was unknown what would happen on this trip to Southern Xinjiang, and he would definitely help Yan Yu when she wanted to break free from the Shadow Clan in the future. Once the Shadow Clan was offended, it would be hard to get rid of it. It didn't matter if he was alone, but he was afraid of getting in trouble with the brothers in Yanjiapo, so before going to Southern Xinjiang, he had to draw a clear line with Yanjiapo, even if it would offend his eldest and second brothers.

Xue Gen was so angry at his third brother that he had nothing to say. He could only turn his head and look at his eldest brother Yan Song who had been sitting high up in silence, hoping that his eldest brother would speak up to stop him.

Yan Song, the head of Yanjiapo, did not force the third brother to leave because he had known him for three years. He knew the third brother's character and was afraid that the brothers would turn against each other if he tried to stop him because of his stubborn temper. But in the past, he thought the third brother was pure and had no desires, but today he realized that he was actually a lovesick man.

"Since you have made up your mind, go ahead. However, I will always keep the position of the third head of Yanjiapo for you. When you are tired outside, just come back."

"Thank you, big brother." Zeng Si's eyes were filled with tears and he smiled gratefully at his big brother.

"Brother, why would you let him do such a stupid thing and go to Southern Xinjiang for a woman?" Xue Gen, the second in command, was even more furious when he saw that his eldest brother did not stop him.

"Second brother, life is only a few decades long. Third brother has finally met a girl he likes, and you want him to act silly. Do you want him to be a monk in Yanjiaopo for the rest of his life?" Yan Song laughed heartily and advised his second brother Xue Gen.

"Yanjiaopo is not a temple. How can I let him become a monk?" Xue Gen curled his lips and became even more angry and speechless.

"Have you seen him being close to women in the past three years? He is no different from a monk!"

"Ahem... Big brother, second brother... I'm not a monk..." Hearing the words of his two brothers, Zeng Si's mouth twitched slightly, and his fair face turned red. He coughed lightly twice and sighed helplessly.

"Well, forget it, since eldest brother has agreed, why should I stop you? You can go wherever you want, I don't care!" Without waiting for Zeng Si to finish speaking, Xue Gen shook his hands, still with a sullen face, and rushed out of the main room.

"He's always like this, impatient like a monkey." Seeing that Xue Gen still couldn't convince himself and walked away, Yan Song couldn't help but mutter again.

Zeng Si said nothing more, but just looked at the figure disappearing outside the hall with reluctance on his face. He knew that his second brother was also worried about him.

The dog days are coming to an end, the daytime is still scorching hot, only at night do you feel the rare cool breeze.

"I wonder if the shops in Mocheng will be affected by the disaster in Yangjiang?"

At the Li Mansion, the two brothers sat under the garden pavilion to enjoy the cool air as usual. An Yun was also leaning against a stone pillar beside them to watch silently. Li Yunye looked at the fireflies flying around in the garden with flickering lights, and sighed with worry.

Bai Jian learned from Ange about the disaster in Yangjiang and how Xiyue Kingdom took advantage of the situation to snatch the victims. While Jiang Siyao lamented the ruthlessness of natural disasters, he couldn't help but marvel inwardly that Xiyue Kingdom was really generous. However, in this era of pure manual production and cold weapons, population is a considerable fortune for the rulers. This can be said to be a case of not sacrificing the lamb to catch the wolf.

When Jiang Siyao heard about the disaster in Yangjiang, she thought of Mo City, which was located to the west. She was naturally concerned about the shop of the famous Jiangnan businessman Li in Mo City.

"Mo City is close to Yangjiang, so it will be affected to some extent. But don't worry. Manager Feng will send a message back if there is any problem in Mo City." Mu Liang gently waved his folding fan, but most of the wind was directed towards Li Yunye. Although he tried to comfort her, he couldn't help but worry in his heart.

"Meow~"

A gentle cat's meow came from the plum garden. A pure white lion cat was walking gracefully under the plum tree alone. Under the moonlight, its aloofness and coldness were highlighted, making it difficult to get close to it.

Hongnu sat in the pavilion, gazing at the moonlight above her head, and couldn't help feeling sad. She had never seen the girl again since she was sent to the Li Mansion. Did the girl really intend to abandon her in the Li family for the rest of her life?

"What are you thinking about?" Ange appeared behind Hongnu at some point, and heard her sighing and asked hurriedly with concern.

"I miss my girl." Hong Nu continued to look at Ming Yue and sighed after knowing it was An Ge. After a while, seeing that An Ge was just standing behind her silently without saying anything, she turned back and asked him, "Why are you looking for me?"

"The young master just distributed some fruits to you. I...this is for you." Hong Nu turned around suddenly. Ange quickly looked away and placed a plate of fruits on the stone table in the pavilion. After speaking nervously, he left in a hurry.

"Why do you act like you've seen a ghost every time you see me? You weren't like this before?" Hong Nu stood up and looked at Ange's hurriedly leaving back. She pouted helplessly, then picked up a piece of melon from the plate and brought it to her mouth.

"Meow!"

At this moment, the lion cat suddenly let out a shrill scream, and then quickly jumped into Hong Nu's arms. After Hong Nu reacted, he also became alert.

"Girl!" But when she saw the slender black shadow in front of Merlin in the moonlight, her eyes lit up instantly.

The two hadn't seen each other for half a year, so Hongnu was very excited. She put the cat down and ran out, throwing herself into Xuanyu's arms and crying softly, "I thought the girl was going to abandon Hongnu."

"Silly girl, I haven't found a good husband for you yet, and I haven't seen you have a son or a daughter. How can I feel at ease to abandon you?" Tears welled up in Huan Yu's cold eyes. She raised her hand and gently stroked the head of Hong Nu in her arms, saying with a faint smile.

"girl…."

"Yueyu!"

After a moment's silence, Hong Nu was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Li Yunye who came in holding a lion cat.

It turned out that the lion cat was afraid of the black-dressed Yanyu. When Hongnu let him go, he turned and ran out of the plum garden, and happened to run into Li Yunye and Mu Liang who were returning to Qingyun Garden. Perhaps because of fear, even though he saw the two people who were usually not liked by him, he ran to their feet without hesitation.

Li Yunye was surprised and happy. He quickly squatted down and picked it up. He finally got the cat, which made him very happy. He was so happy that he kept showing off to Mu Liang beside him.

Mu Liang had a doting smile in his eyes but he could see the lion cat's fear. He also noticed that the cat had been out for so long and Hong Nu had not come out to look for it, so he pulled Li Yunye to go to the plum garden.

"I said Hongnu usually keeps a close eye on the cat, but tonight the cat ran away and no one came out to look for it. It turned out that you, Yu, came, and she was so happy that she forgot everything else."

Hongnu carried the cat back into the house and went to pour tea. Li Yunye also led Yanyu to sit in the pavilion, and greeted them warmly with fruits on the table while smiling.

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Li Yunye found that Xuanyu had not changed at all, and was still as elegant and cool as before.

"I haven't seen you for several months. How have you been, Mr. Li?" At this moment, Xuanyu's heart and eyes were filled with Li Yunye. His appearance also added a bit of warmth to her cold eyes.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s under a lot of pressure as the manager of Jiangnan Mingli or because of the hot summer, but his face has become much thinner.

"I'm fine, how about you?" Li Yunye nodded with a smile and asked.

As he shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Li family, Li Yunye is no longer as carefree as before. However, such pressure is something that he must bear as Li Yunye, so there is naturally no need for him to mention it to Yanyu.

"I'm fine too." Yan Yu hesitated to speak, and after a moment, she smiled faintly.

"Miss Xuanyu is here. My name is Mu Liang, and I'm Yunye's sworn brother. Miss Xuanyu is the savior of my Li family. Mu Liang is grateful again." While the two were talking, Mu Liang also walked into the pavilion, saluted to Xuanyu and said with a smile.

"I have heard of Manager Mu's name for a long time. Today I meet him and he is indeed extraordinary." Yan Yu also stood up and returned the greeting with a faint smile.

"Miss Xuanyu, you are too kind." Mu Liang smiled modestly again, asked Xuanyu to sit back down, and then sat down next to Li Yunye.

"Why did you suddenly come to visit me this time?" Li Yunye asked Xiang Yanyu again.

"I'm still passing by and come to see you." With Mu Liang around, Huan Yu's tender gaze was restrained and she just smiled faintly.

Mu Liang smiled and did not interrupt their conversation. Although his brother-in-law said that they were just friends before, he noticed tonight that the look in Xuanyu's eyes when she looked at Yunye was not as innocent as that of a friend. Seeing that his brother-in-law looked normal, he couldn't help but wonder: He wondered if his brother-in-law understood the undisguised affection in Xuanyu's eyes?

After a long separation, Jiang Siyao also felt the tenderness in Xuanyu's eyes. She realized that Xuanyu had developed feelings for Li Yunye. But she didn't understand. Li Yunye had been pestering her before, but she ignored him. Why did she like him now?

Originally, she just wanted to be friends with Yanyu, but she actually fell in love with her. This made Jiang Siyao depressed again. No matter in modern times or here, why did fate make her experience the same thing? Previously, another personality protected her, but now she can only deal with it by herself.

After all, Xuanyu was his savior, and Li Yunye was in a difficult situation. Fortunately, she had not expressed her feelings to him, so he could continue to pretend to be ignorant.
