Chapter 32: Guidance from an otherworldly master
Yuan Feng's hand that was touching the teacup paused. His brows revealed a little seriousness. After a while, he sighed and raised his head to look at Xiao Qing Ran. He spoke in a different tone: "You've returned, right?"
Xiao Qing was stunned. She looked at him with her bright eyes. After a while, she was sure that he meant what she had understood. She said in a deep voice, "That's right, it's me."
"Sigh ~" After Yuan Feng officially confirmed it, his face revealed an expression that could not be understood by others: "This old man knew that you would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect that this day would arrive so soon. You've known this old man for almost five years."
He paused, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Maybe it's been a little longer for you. How long?"
Although this question seemed irrelevant, Xiao Qingyi was still clear of his question: "Almost two months."
About two months had passed since his rebirth.
"It's been so long." Yuan Feng narrowed his eyes, as if he was recalling something, "At that time, the first time I saw you, you had an aura of death on you, apart from it, there was also a sinister aura that even I could not understand. However, between the sinister aura of death, there was a golden light shining in your eyes."
"This old man knew that you had a death trap ever since then, but I never thought that you would actually use such a method …" Yuan Feng shook his head and sighed to himself.
Xiao Qing Ran pursed her lips and half closed her eyes as she said in a low voice: "Old Yuan, don't blame me. If I were to say that this calamity is a path that I must walk on, then I would also want to go against the heavens. At least I don't want to leave any regrets this time."
"Going against the heavens? "Little girl, do you know how difficult it is to say such simple words? How many people can surpass the Heavens?" Yuan Feng shook his head. There was a complicated expression on his old face, as if there was something big hidden there, "The so-called cycle of karma. Since you obtained this kind of reason, it means that you were hit with such a result.
"I know." Xiao Qingyi clenched her fists tightly. Deep in her eyes, there was an unfathomable amount of hatred and coldness: "But if I don't give it a try, how can I be willing?!"
In her previous life, she had given too much, yet in the end, she had ended up like that. Her dignity, her honor, her principles, her bottom line. Everything that had happened had been treated as a joke and stepped on by others.
Before the three foot yellow soil was buried, no one knew that she had nearly turned into a violent corpse in the wilderness. At that time, her soul had been completely powerless as she stood at the side and watched a wild dog devour her body. That feeling...
"I must let that person have a taste of the same pain as I did back then!"
She could not let her live in hell alone. She had to drag those who had humiliated her into the endless abyss!
Yuan Feng looked at the killing intent on her face, as well as the increasingly sinister killing intent. He wanted to persuade her, but he knew that he simply didn't have the ability to do so.
After all, this wasn't the first time he wanted to change the fate of others. However, in the end, what he obtained was merely …
"Sigh ~" Yuan Feng sighed as he sealed the old matter and said in a deep voice, "Little girl, I can see that you haven't really reached the edge of the cliff yet, so I'll give you a final warning. If you don't stop, I won't be able to do anything."
Xiao Qingran shook her head, the killing intent in her eyes had already faded. However, she did not give up, but rather, settled it in the bottom of her heart: "Junior knows about Elder Yuan's intentions, but I have already chosen not to regret it."
Yuan Feng fiercely frowned and said in a suppressed tone, "Even if I have to suffer the pain of the scorching sun in the future, won't I regret it?!"
His gaze was as sharp as an old eagle at the edge of a cliff, causing Xiao Qing's heart to tremble. She instinctively felt that something big might happen in the future, but she also knew that the heavens could not leak out these words.
It was just one word, but it was powerful and sonorous.
When Yuan Feng saw her burning gaze, he helplessly sighed and said, "Since that's the case, I'll give you some pointers."
Xiao Qing Qing cupped her hands and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Old Yuan."
"Remember this well. Since you've been reborn, you can't mention the past and the past to anyone else. Those things that happened to you are real, and what happens to others in the future. If you reveal them, it will bring about endless future troubles."
Xiao Qing nodded her head and made a note.
Actually, even if Elder Yuan hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have mentioned it. She understood the Butterfly Effect well. Changing her own fate and Su Qianxing's fate was better said than to correct it.
"Second, you have to remember what you need to do now. If you have that mood disorder, you must make a prompt decision. Otherwise, once you change the cause and effect, you will never have the chance to start again."
Xiao Qingyi knitted her brows, unable to understand the elder's second sentence: "What does Elder Yuan mean?"
When his heart was in disorder? What does that mean?
Yuan Feng didn't answer her. Instead, he shook his head and sighed, "Child, it's better if you follow your own heart in everything you do. Don't be too concerned about the secular world and the past, or else you won't be able to repeat what you missed."
What he said confused Xiao Qing Qing even more. When she wanted to ask more about it, Yuan Feng had already finished the rest of the tea in the teacup.
Xiao Qing pursed her lips. She knew his actions meant that he was chasing people away. When Elder Yuan ordered people, it was only in a cup of tea.
As expected, Elder Yuan spread out the hand he had been holding since coming out. Inside was a lady's bracelet. It looked simple, but it was actually very exquisite.
He placed the bracelet on the table and pushed it over. "You sent someone to tell this old man that this was made and it is now complete."
Xiao Qing pursed her lips and glanced at the bangle. Its simple shape had been inlaid with a plum blossom pattern. She reached out and held it in her hand. When she felt its weight, her eyes suddenly lit up.
It was exactly as she had requested.
Old Man Yuan was silent. The teacup remained in its original position.
Although Xiao Qing still had a stomach full of doubts, she still lowered her eyes before standing up and respectfully leaving.
Yuan Feng looked at the woman that bid farewell to Yuan Li with a slightly absent-minded gaze. It was unknown whether he was talking about himself or talking about her, "Surviving is meaningful, and this is only the beginning. The result is already decided, what can you change?"
Xiao Qingran came out from Elder Yuan's place. She was still a little dazed and felt that her brain was in a mess. Everything was piled up in her heart, but she could not think of the reason.
It was as if that thread had been cut off and was now tangled in his heart.
Elder Yuan's words seemed to make a lot of sense, it was true that he had used them on her, but she felt that they were missing something.
She couldn't find the exact thread right now.
"Tsk … this is really …" Xiao Qing Ran sighed to herself.
The reason why he came over to decrypt the information was to decrypt the information. However, the information that he wanted to unravel became even more confusing instead.
As Xiao Qing organized her messy thoughts, she walked around the two alleys in the direction of the General's Estate. The bracelet on her hand wasn't very heavy, but for some reason, it made her feel as if she couldn't lift her wrist.
"Maybe it's because I'm too tired recently?" She tried to persuade herself like this, but she didn't care about her body at all. She only wanted to forget what had happened today and go back to sleep.
But when he returned to the general's estate, he discovered that there were two chests in his tattered little courtyard.
"Miss, you're back?" Riko came out of the house and immediately went to welcome her young mistress.
"What is this?" Xiao Junyan walked to the side of the box and stretched his leg. Although he could not feel the contents of the box through the wood, he could guess its weight. He asked, "Who gave it to you?"
She was sure that it was a gift because she really didn't have any status in the mansion. Usually, other than a few pieces of flowing clothes and a simple hairpin, there was nothing else.
"Miss, please come in first. Li Er was just about to tell you, but this fact is worrying us ~" Riko spread her hands as she led the way inside the house with a helpless look on her face.
Xiao Qingyi laughed and asked curiously: "There is also something that makes you worry?"
"Miss shouldn't be in such a hurry to laugh at Riko. You'll know once you see her." As Riko spoke, the two of them entered the room.
Xiao Qing was stunned when she saw the two clothes on the tray on the table: "What do you mean?"
"This was delivered by the Crown Prince's Palace this morning. The people the Crown Prince sent specially informed us that the young lady is attending the Jun Chen Banquet, and that she doesn't like such complicated and complicated things. She definitely doesn't have many suitable clothes on hand, so the Crown Prince's t-shirt is ready for you, young lady."
Xiao Qingyi raised her eyebrows. Although that piece of clothing looked exquisite, it was simple in design. It did not lose its grandeur and was indeed suitable for her current status. She nodded and shifted her gaze: "Then what about the other one?"
The other item was a jade-blue dress. Although it looked like the clothing worn by the noblewomen, upon closer inspection, one could see that it was specially made for the waist. It was accompanied by a dark blue headband.
Riko was rather surprised this time. "How does Miss know that these two were not sent by the same person?"
He didn't reveal anything previously, right?
"Although the two pieces of clothing are very light in color, the style and the aura they give off are vastly different. From a glance, it doesn't seem to be made by a single person. The one in front is indeed Su Qianxing's style, the other one …"
Xiao Qing frowned and used a strange tone to guess: "Why does it look like it was Su Qianhan's handiwork?"
