Chapter 870: Calm Before the Storm

s long fingers. Though one couldn't see what he looked like, the focused look on his face was undeniably charming, as if he had reached a state of perfect harmony with the instrument.Everyone's mood s...Several days later.

"Miss, Sister Wan'er, oh no, it is that real Miss Ye outside, she says she wants to see you."

"It's her!" Xiao Yuge frowned slightly, after thinking for a moment, she still decided to go out and meet her. After all, she had been by her side as Lu Xiangwan for so long, to say there was no feeling was a lie, but the one who betrayed her was not worth lingering on.

"Thank you for still coming to see me," Ye Lin remained silent for a long time before finally speaking. Facing Xiao Yuge, she felt both remorse and hatred in her heart.

"No need to thank me, it's just a casual meeting. We can't be friends, but we're not enemies either." Xiao Yuge's expression was calm with little emotion: "What brings you to see me today"

A trace of sadness flashed in Ye Lin's eyes, but she carefully concealed it: "I came today to thank you for pleading with His Royal Highness Xian Wang on my behalf and sparing me from further punishment."

"No need to be polite. Judging by how you spared those children at Miao Ling, it shows that your nature isn't entirely bad. Many things are beyond your control, but a mistake is still a mistake. You saved me once, and I will plead for you with His Royal Highness. We're even now."

"No, I still owe you... I'm sorry..."

Xiao Yuge pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Will you, will you hate me" Ye Lin asked timidly.

Xiao Yu's song shook her head without a hint of hesitation: "No, I said, we are not friends, nor enemies. Why should I hate you"

"Thank you!" Ye Lin said gratefully, holding back tears. She knew she had betrayed Ge'er, and with Ge'er's temper, not to hold a grudge against her or kill her was already the biggest concession: "I have to leave here, and I will never come back."

Xiao Yu's lips moved, unable to help but ask, "Where are you going" The Grand Master was dead, the Grand Master's mansion was sealed off, and her parents had been killed by the Grand Master. Where else could she go

Ye Lin lowered her head and smiled. "Go to where I should go, or rather, I'm going to atone." She already knew where she was going.

"Take care!" Xiao Yuge seemed to have an idea of where she was going, and his heart felt relieved.

"Ge'er!" Just as Xiao Yu Ge turned to leave, Ye Lin called out to her again: "There is a mysterious black-clothed woman, no, it should be two. I don't know which sect they belong to. I investigated them, but they are very mysterious, every time making them escape. However, I am certain that their target is you, so you must be careful!"

"There are many people who have a grudge against me, and many who want me dead. It doesn't matter." Xiao Yu Ge smiled at her, then turned and strode away from there. Today's parting, from now on, no longer see each other in the rivers and lakes.

Ye Lin stared blankly at her departing figure, letting out a long sigh: Yes, a woman as dazzling and radiant as she is must be able to adapt to any situation!

The national teacher is dead, and the entire imperial city seems to have fallen into an unusual tranquility. But under this scorching sky, there's a strange restlessness, like the stillness before a storm.

"County Princess!"

Xiao Yu Ge had just arrived at the door when someone called out to her.

“Leaves… oh no, I should call you Land Lady Lu, right Is there something you need from me” Seeing the one before her was truly Lu Xiangwan, Xiao Yuge’s mood felt somewhat complicated. Back when she was treating her, she had clearly recovered her memory, yet still chose to hide it. Thankfully, she did reveal the Grand Tutor's scheme, so she could forgive her momentary deception.

"I came here for two reasons: to thank you for saving my life, and to apologize for my previous deception." Although she had recovered her memory and martial arts skills, Lu Xiangwan still looked as delicate as before, making it hard to connect her with the powerful high priest.

"It's alright, it's all in the past anyway. What are your plans You and His Highness..." Back then, the fake Lu Xiangwan had told her a lot of things about Miao Ling, mixing truth with falsehoods. Later on, she found out that everyone in Miao Ling had died except for the real Lu Xiangwan, who was spared because the National Master still had use for her. The man they met who hadn't breathed his last, along with everyone else, was just part of a play orchestrated by the National Master.

However, the Grand Tutor hadn't foreseen that those children were still alive. Perhaps this was also why Heaven wouldn't allow the Miao Lineage to perish just like that.

"I... and Your Highness... we can't be together anymore..." Lu Xiangwan's heart ached. Even though she fell in love with Qian Yi'an while suffering from amnesia, and even now, she still loved him, she couldn't stay because she had responsibilities of her own.

"Are you leaving, Your Highness" Xiao Yuge was also puzzled. Now that everything was clear, shouldn't they be together as lovers destined for each other

Luzhaowan nodded lightly, lowering her eyes to conceal the bitterness in her heart: "I... I want to go back and bring those children back to Miaoling. After all, that's my home..."

"Have you talked to him about it I can tell he wants to marry you." Xiao Yuge thought that Qian Yi'an liked Lu Xiangwan.

Lu Xiangwan smiled wryly and shook her head: "The person he wants to marry has never been me..."

"What are you talking about He told me himself, he's going to marry you and take care of you for life."

"Your Grace, have you never doubted the Lord's words" Lu Xiangwan's eyes were a bit strange. She didn't expect Qian Yi'an to hide his feelings for Xiao Yuge so well, so well that even Xiao Yuge, who was so intelligent, had not noticed it.

"Doubt him Why" Xiao Yuge was puzzled: "When I knew Your Highness, he was still a powerless and disabled prince. I saw with my own eyes how he struggled step by step to where he is today. Therefore, I think you should be by his side. He deserves a good girl like you to love him, and you deserve him to protect you. You two have finally made it this far, do you really want to give up"

“I......” Lü Xiangwan was also conflicted in her heart. She loved Qian Yi'an, but she also knew that the person he loved was Xiao Yuge right before him. However, Xiao Yuge had already married the prince. She believed that one day, the prince's gaze would fall on her, but when she thought of her responsibilities, she was torn in two. If the clan leader and her father were alive, knowing that she was obsessed with love and gave up the entire Miaoling, they would probably blame her.

"Lu girl, I know what you're thinking. You want to go back and rebuild Miaoling, raise those children to adulthood, right"

"Yes."

Xiao Yu Ge heard her answer and couldn't help but laugh: "If it's because of this, then rest assured, someone has already gone back for you..." Then she told her about what Ye Lin had come to look for her earlier.

"Her, she really said that" Lu Xiangwan was a little disbelieving.ichin grabbed him and flung him aside, then dashed out as if possessed. He had finally found a clue related to Lei Ting Ge, after spending countless days and resources to bring that man back from the...
