A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 218 Compromise

"Miss Xuanyu."

Seeing the face under the veil, An Yun and An Ge were surprised again, but they had their own doubts in their hearts.

An Ge has not seen Xuanyu since he was punished to the farm, and his impression of Xuanyu only remains that she was the former courtesan of Hongxiang Pavilion. But now he sees that Xuanyu has superb martial arts and swordsmanship, and he can't help but doubt her identity. And after An Yun learned that Xuanyu was from southern Xinjiang, he also doubted Xuanyu's purpose of approaching the young master. But today, at the critical moment, she showed up to save the young master, and An Yun didn't know whether to doubt her or believe her.

"Mr. Li?" Xuanyu squatted beside Li Yunye, tightly held his frozen hand, frowned, and called softly.

At this time, Li Yunye had already stiffened with Li Xingyuan's body, almost unconscious, but Xuanyu's voice awakened his remaining consciousness. He struggled twice before slowly raising his head, and in a trance he saw the familiar face clearly. At this time, Xuanyu's appearance was like a ray of light shining into Li Yunye's dark world, and he couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Master, it's okay. Miss Huanyu saved us." Ange, who was squatting on the other side, had already put her thick coat on the master, and she was shaking and sobbing.

"Xuanyu...you are here...but my father is gone...Uncle Fang also died for me...Why...why didn't you come earlier? If you had come earlier, my father and Uncle Fang wouldn't have died..." Ange's words made Li Yunye completely sober. Li Xingyuan was still in his arms, but his stiff and cold hands gradually regained some consciousness under Xuanyu's tight grip. He looked at her, his red and swollen eyes full of regret.

Li Yunye was not blaming Huanyu, after all, she saved his life once again, and he was grateful. But just now, he witnessed the tragic death of his father and Uncle Fang. If Huanyu had been one step earlier or his father had delayed the bandits for a little longer, their fates could have been changed. But the world is so unpredictable, and his words to Huanyu were just a complaint of fate in his grief.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm late, but now that things have come to this, I hope you can accept my condolences." Xuanyu still held Li Yunye's hand tightly, and her eyes showed not only heartache but also a bit of self-blame.

Xuanyu could naturally understand what Li Yunye said in grief, and she also felt guilty for being a step late.

And Xuanyu's words made Li Yunye even more sad. His already fragile body was overwhelmed by grief. In addition, he had been frozen in the snow for too long. His pale lips trembled slightly, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted in Xuanyu's arms.

After Zeng Si dealt with most of the fleeing bandits, he returned just in time to see Xuan Yu hugging the unconscious Li Yunye. Seeing her face showing unprecedented tenderness and care, Zeng Si felt as if a knife was stabbing his heart, making him feel like he was dying.

It turned out that the young man named Li from Jiangnan was her selfish desire, it turned out that he had always been wishful thinking, it turned out that she was not heartless, but she gave all her tenderness to this man.

But looking at Li Yunye's frail appearance, he really couldn't accept it. If Yanyu was attracted to a man who was stronger than him and capable of protecting her, Zeng Si would accept it. But what was Li Yunye's reason for being so? Apart from his family background, how was he inferior to him?

Huanyu is now in Yingmen, and she lives on the edge of a knife almost every day. Now Yingmen has to deal with Jiangnan Mingli. If it weren't for Huanyu's secret help, Jiangnan Mingli would have been gone long ago. With Li Yunye's identity as the young master of Jiangnan Mingli, not only can he not give Huanyu any help, but he will most likely drag her down in the future.

An Yun drove a carriage and brought the unconscious young man to an inn in a nearby town, accompanied by Xuan Yu. At this time, Li Yunye and An Yun had both changed their blood-stained clothes. An Yun carried Li Yunye on his back, and Xuan Yu, wearing a veil, followed closely behind him into the inn.

On the other hand, Ange went to the coffin shop to buy four coffins and hired four horse-drawn carriages. At first, the drivers were reluctant to take the dead to Qile City, but after Ange offered several times the price, four people took the business. They made more money from this trip than they usually made in half a year. It was the end of the year, so naturally some people wanted to earn more to go home for the New Year.

An Ge went to hire a car alone, so someone had to stay behind to guard the bodies of Mr. Li, Butler Fang and others, so Xuanyu asked Zeng Si to stay. Zeng Si was not happy, but he could not refuse Xuanyu's request. He watched Xuanyu leave with Li Yunye, and he was jealous, but he could do nothing about it.

"Thank you for your help today, Master Zeng."

After Ange temporarily placed the coffin in the charity cemetery outside the town, he bowed solemnly to Zeng Si and expressed his gratitude.

"No need to thank me, I'm just helping Yanyu." Zeng Si was jealous of Li Yunye, so naturally he didn't have a good face towards the people of the Li family. He just said it lightly and left.

After settling down in the inn, Xuanyu sat by the bed and looked at the still unconscious Li Yunye, with reluctance in her eyes. Li Yunye was devastated by this, and she should have stayed by his side, but now she was the left guard of the Shadow Clan and could not leave the branch for too long, and this time she was in a hurry, so she had to rush back to Chaoyun City tonight.

"Miss Xuanyu, Mr. Zeng is here." At this time, An Yun walked into the room and replied to Xuanyu.

Upon hearing this, Xuanyu stood up and handed a bottle of medicine to An Yun: "Your injuries need to heal as soon as possible. It's still a long way to go to Qile City. Take good care of your son."

"Thank you, Miss Xuanyu." An Yun took the medicine bottle and bowed gratefully.

Without saying anything else, Yu turned and left.

"Xuan Yu." Outside the inn, Zeng Si saw the veiled Xuan Yu. He, who was originally full of jealousy, instantly revealed a gentle smile.

Xuanyu nodded lightly, motioning him to follow her, as this was not the place to talk.

"What? You want me to escort Li Yunye back to Qile City?" Under the quiet bridge, when Zeng Si heard the arrangement made by Yan Yu, he was immediately furious again.

"I came out in a hurry this time. Although Hongnu is temporarily covering for me, I still have to rush back to Chaoyun City as soon as possible. It's still several days away from Qile City. I really don't trust Mr. Li. Even if it's Yanyu, I'm asking the Third Master to help me again."

"You begged me for him?" The arrogant Yan Yu actually spoke to him in a pleading tone for Li Yunye. Zeng Si felt heartbroken again. He turned around, closed his eyes, clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. After a long sigh, he seriously advised: "You are from the Shadow Sect, and he will soon be the leader of the Jiangnan Mingli. It is impossible for you two to be together."

"Don't worry about what happens between him and me, Third In Command. If you're unwilling to help, then Xuanyu won't force you." Xuanyu's eyes immediately turned cold, and her tone turned icy again. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Although Zeng Si's words were realistic, Xuanyu didn't want to look too far for the time being. She just wanted to accompany Master Li step by step.

"Okay, I promise you." Without waiting for Yan Yu to walk away, Zeng Si finally chose to compromise. After all, she was the woman he loved so much that he would go through fire and water for her. So what was the big deal about escorting a love rival?
