Chapter 438 Goodbye
The scholar left without saying goodbye!
The matter of seven lifetimes of resentment involved the safety of the three realms. Even if he was a thousand times reluctant, he had to give in, give up his insignificant little love, and consider the overall situation of saving the people. Besides, he was simply powerless to object.

However, even though he kept using this reason to numb himself, he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart!
He couldn't bear to see his beloved marrying someone else!
So, he left.

He left quietly without disturbing anyone!

Although all this could not be hidden from Yan Chixia and others, they did not stop him, but secretly told Zhuge Liuyun to follow him to prevent him from getting upset!

When Xiaoqian, who had been sad all night, heard the news, she burst into tears on the spot and was so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe!

The scholar's initiative to help her was like a knife that stabbed deeply into her heart. But it was not resentment, but heartache, only heartache!

Everyone in Fenglin Courtyard is gloomy, but the gears of fate will not stop!
To make matters worse!

An imperial edict arrived, breaking the depressing atmosphere.

The emperor seems to know everything!

The old eunuch announced the decree again, with only one sentence, but this time it was no longer lukewarm, but with an irresistible will: "Qi Ye and Xiao Qian must marry as soon as possible, without any mistakes, I decree!"

After the imperial eunuch was announced, he put on his good-natured look again, and politely apologized, "It is my duty, please forgive me!" Then he left indifferently!
Qiye held the imperial edict as if he was carrying a mountain of knives on his back. His expression was heavy and complicated, revealing deep guilt and powerlessness.

"This is unfair fate, it's not your fault!" Ning's mother comforted with tears in her eyes.

As a mother, the pain in her heart was no less than anyone else present. Her heart was broken at this moment. Fate was too cruel to her. The day before, she was still fantasizing about the beauty of a happy family, but today she had to face the tragedy of her twins' separation. She hated, she resented, she was in pain, she was sad, but she had to look forward!

"mother……"

Qiye had thousands of words in his heart, but when he spoke, only this one word remained, full of sadness and bitterness. This was the first time he showed his weakness in public, and he didn't know that he was crying!
Mother Ning didn't say a word, she just went forward and hugged him tightly, tears flowing like a spring...

……

The next day, Qiye and his group left the palace and set out to return to their hometown, the Ning family’s real hometown, Honghe Town, where everything began!

Perhaps the emperor felt that too much was as bad as too little, so he did not object this time and agreed to the request very readily. He only sent Jin Guang to accompany him and let him act as a witness to complete the agreement!
Jin Guang did not make a big fuss this time, and only brought the Four Generals of Xuanxin and some elite disciples.

……

Red River Town.

Time is like the ocean; eighteen years is enough to destroy everything.

This place is located in Jinling. Although it is remote and far away from the hustle and bustle, it is still prosperous.

The bluestone road winds its way, connecting one household after another. The houses on the street are arranged in an orderly manner, and the white walls and black tiles look particularly peaceful under the caress of the sun!

Children were laughing and chasing each other in the alleys, with kites flying high in the blue sky. Their laughter was as clear as bells, without the pressure of schoolwork or the worries of growing up, but only endless joy.

The original Ning family was destroyed in the war, and now it has been rebuilt, exactly the same as it was eighteen years ago. Everything has remained the same, yet it has also changed.

The yard and the house are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the whole house is filled with the word "happiness"!
Everything is ready, just waiting for the newcomers to arrive!
This was the emperor's careful consideration and a display of benevolence, but no one appreciated it! Although Qiye and his party arrived in the afternoon, the Ning family lived in seclusion at the foot of a mountain outside the town, so it did not cause much commotion!
Have a good night's rest.

The bright sunshine shines on the earth, the town becomes bustling, and the people repeat their unchanging and comfortable lives!
Qiye and Xiaoqian walked one after the other in the bustling market, looking at each other in silence, both full of thoughts.

Originally, today was their wedding day, but after Zhuge Liuyun received the news, he sent a reply on behalf of the scholar, saying that he seemed to have thought it through and wanted to come and witness it with his own eyes, so the wedding date was postponed.

Jin Guang had no objection to this. Now they were all birds in a cage, unable to escape. There was really no need for him to add new disputes and create unnecessary trouble over such a small matter!

Qiye and Xiaoqian came here to develop their relationship!
If they want to break up the seven lifetimes of hatred between lovers, they must be in love with each other and love each other for their whole lives. Regardless of whether they have this intention or not, they must accept it and must do so!

……

The scholar and his two companions arrived very quickly, arriving in just three days.

In addition to him and Zhuge Liuyun, Yan Hongye was also traveling with them!
It was already dusk when they arrived, but the weather was very bad. It had started raining in the morning, and the initial drizzle turned into heavy rain with no sign of stopping!
The cold raindrops hit the eaves, making a crisp sound, like the sound of a broken heart, as if the heavens were feeling sorry for the ill-fated pair of mandarin ducks and crying for their misfortune!
Yan Chixia and others went out to greet them.

Xiaoqian stood in front of the house, hesitating to move forward!
The scholar was holding an oil-paper umbrella, looking at the Yan family of three through the layers of rain. When his eyes met Xiaoqian's, time seemed to freeze, and everything around them became blurred. Only a faint sadness permeated the air, making people feel that endless sorrow was rising!

The once passionate love has now been washed away by the torrent of fate, leaving only endless helplessness and sorrow. In their eyes, there is the surprise of reunion, deep attachment, but more of it is the unspeakable pain.

At this moment, the others seemed to have sensed their sadness as well. They all fell silent and retreated quietly!
In this way, the only thing that separated them was the heavy rain and the insurmountable gap of fate!
The scholar's lips trembled slightly. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Xiaoqian's tears were welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard to hold them back.

"Long time no see." The scholar finally broke the silence, his voice hoarse and low.

The umbrella in her hand tilted at some point, and heavy rain fell, soaking her whole body, but she seemed not to notice!
He stood in the rain, his lips turned pale and his body trembled slightly. At this moment, he couldn't help shivering, but all he could feel was the sadness in his heart!

"Well, long time no see." Xiaoqian responded softly, with a slight tremor in her voice.

A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but want to pounce on him, but in the end, her body just shook slightly, and it was over!

She understood that what stood between them was not just the heavy rain!

At this moment, they all had thousands of words in their hearts, but they couldn't say them, and they dared not say them!

They knew deeply that they loved each other, but they could never go back!
Now, even though they are unwilling and miss each other so much, they can only bow to the unfair fate!

That was all. As if they had a telepathic connection, the two turned around and parted ways.

Those who are supposed to come will come, and those who haven’t come are destined not to come!

The wedding date was immediately put on the agenda, tomorrow!
This night, many people felt like they were living a year in a row!

Including Jin Guang, because he had to face the person he least wanted to face in this life, Yan Hongye!

Yan Hongye hated him deeply, and would not bear it. Whenever she got the chance, she would ridicule him and humiliate him. But he could only bear it, even though Yan Hongye was just an ordinary person now, because Yan Chixia and others were beside him, and were eager to try!
