Although Xu Yuyu could not remember the events of her previous life, the pain and sadness in her heart seemed to come from the depths of her soul.
She lowered her head and did not dare to meet Xiao Haozi's eyes.
"After he found you, he has been protecting you silently, and it has not changed for so many years!"
"Do you know his feeling of being unable to love!?"
Xiao Haozi smiled sadly.
Xu Yuyu pursed her lips, remembering the way Li Linxi looked at her when she first met her.
That nostalgic look in her eyes made her heart beat a beat slower and her soul tremble.
Thinking about it now, she actually felt like she fell in love at first sight with those eyes...
Xiao Haozi smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "That's right, he is a fool, and so am I! I have been with him for thousands of years, and I have loved him humbly for thousands of years. I thought it would be a long time in the future."
"But I never thought it would end up like this..."
Xiao Haozi shook his head with a wry smile. She raised her hand close to the transparent fingertips and slowly placed it between her eyebrows. An almost emerald green gem appeared in her hand.
She looked at the gem in her hand and looked up at Xu Yuyu: "This is the last thing I can do for you!"
After saying that, I saw the green gem flying towards Xu Yuyu's eyebrows.
Xu Yuyu's aura of extreme yin fate was restrained for an instant, and then disappeared. Xu Yuyu's aura directly changed back to an ordinary person.
Before Xu Yuyu could react, she quickly touched her eyebrows. She just saw a green gem flying towards her eyebrows, but why was it gone?
Xiao Haozi glanced at Li Yanxiao for the last time, closed his eyes and turned into green light spots scattered in the sky and the earth, and at the same time a seed fell to the ground.
Li Yanxiao raised his hand to collect the seed, and then sighed: "Some love is over before it even begins!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Yuyu, who was still in a dazed state: "You are like this with him, and so are he and her!"
Xu Yuyu saw that Li Yanxiao definitely knew something, and she asked curiously: "What are they talking about in the past life, and why did Xiao Haozi become a woman?"
Facing Xu Yuyu's questioning, Li Yanxiao was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth to confirm her thoughts and said, "Do you really want to know?"
Xu Yuyu hesitated for a moment, but nodded out of curiosity, because the behavior of Li Linxi and Xiao Haozi was inexplicable in her eyes.
Li Yanxiao confirmed again: "If you know, it will not only change your life, but also make you no longer yourself!"
Xu Yuyu gave him a strange look and said firmly: "I am who I am!"
Li Yanxiao hesitated for a moment, raised his fingertips and touched Xu Yuyu's eyebrows.
Xu Yuyu subconsciously took a step back, but Li Yanxiao's fingers had already landed on her eyebrows.
At that moment, Xu Yuyu's pupils dilated, and she stood there blankly.
After about ten seconds, Xu Yuyu's pupils returned to normal.
A line of clear tears began to slide down unconsciously from the corners of her eyes.
She raised her hands and covered her chest tightly. Even the pain of heartbreak at this moment was incomparable to the pain in her heart.
She just recalled everything about her past life.
At this moment, she felt nothing but heartache, as if her whole heart was about to break.
Xu Yuyu covered her chest and wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry out and could only shed tears.
The real pain and sadness is nothing more than this!
"ah!"
The weak roar seemed to vent the pain in Xu Yuyu's heart.
Seeing such a change in Xu Yuyu, Li Yanxiao sighed and shook his head with the same words: "Some love is over before it even begins!"
Xu Yuyu raised her head, tears already filling her eyes.
She looked at Li Yanxiao and begged: "Save, save, save him!"
Li Yanxiao looked at her but said nothing.
The sadness and pain in Xu Yuyu's eyes at this moment is heartbreaking to watch.
She suddenly knelt down in front of Li Yanxiao and begged: "I know you must have a way to save him, right!?"
Li Yanxiao shook his head, but nodded again.
This confusing behavior made her stunned for a moment, but she didn't ask why Li Yanxiao shook his head and nodded again.
As if he believed he could save Li Linxi: "Please tell me how to save him!?"
Li Yanxiao said calmly: "Let's tell you and his story first!"
He was not in any hurry, holding Mu Mengzi who was still unconscious and leaning against the rusty iron pipe nearby.
Xu Yuyu bit her lips when she heard these words, and the pain and remorse in her eyes became more intense: "If you want to hear it, I can tell you, but please save him first!"
Li Yanxiao shook his head and refused: "First, I'm telling you how to save him!"
Xu Yuyu frowned slightly when she saw Li Yanxiao, but because she wanted something from him now, he could only lower his head: "Okay..."
"In my previous life, I was a promiscuous woman. I had no one to rely on except my own face to make ends meet..."
…………
Thousands of years ago, the Song Dynasty was the dynasty that succeeded the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in Chinese history and led to the Yuan Dynasty. At this time, the Song Dynasty was a very prosperous era in terms of economy, culture, education, and science.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the popularity of the imperial examination system gave many students from poor families the opportunity to stand out.
At this moment, a new round of imperial examinations is about to be held, so students from all over the country are going to the capital to take the exams, just for the sake of becoming famous.
At the entrance to the capital, a thin disciple from a poor family was staring intensely at the word "Kyoto" above his head. He was also one of those rushing to take the exam, but it might not be easy to stand out.
But the heat in his eyes was not inferior to that of any disciple from a humble family.
He took a deep breath and walked into Kyoto in his best condition. He was amazed by the prosperity that he saw.
He followed the flow of people along the way, wandering around Kyoto like a lonely soul.
Although Kyoto is prosperous, it seems unusually cold to outsiders like him!
Those poor students who were rushing to take exams walked around in circles and came to the famous canal in Kyoto.
At this time, the setting sun on the horizon was slowly falling.
However, there were many scholars surrounding the shore, all looking expectantly at the darkening canal.
The excitement and impatience in their eyes was difficult to conceal.
The thin disciple from a poor family also came behind the crowd at this moment. He looked at this group of 'literati' and felt doubtful.
He saluted a polite man holding a folding fan and said, "This young man is so polite!"
The man holding the folding fan reluctantly looked away from the canal and returned the greeting: "My name is Gu Zide!"
The man named Gu De saluted, but his eyes drifted back to the canal unconsciously.
The boy from a poor family quickly gave his name: "My surname is Yu, my first name is Xun!"
A young man from a humble family named Yu Xun looked towards the canal and asked, "Master Gu, I wonder what kind of grand gathering this is? Why are everyone gathering here?"
Gu De gave Yu Xun a strange look, looked up and down, and suddenly he seemed to understand something: "Brother Yu, this must be his first time in Kyoto!"
Yu Xun nodded quickly: "As Mr. Gu said, Xun came to Kyoto this time to take the exam!"
Gu De seemed to have guessed it, and was not surprised. There was disdain in his eyes: "Brother Yu, there will be a grand party on this canal soon!"
Yu Xun was puzzled: "Master Gu, please make it clear!"
Gu De closed his fan and pointed at the place where the water and the sky connect, with a look of obsession in his eyes: "Soon, there will be a painting boat coming from the water and the sky. Only talented people can board the painting boat. On the painting boat...
…”
Before Gu De finished speaking, there was noise.
"Look! It's coming!"
"Finally here! I must see the oiran today!"
"I am the prince's son! If you fight with me today, I will make him look good!"
…………
Gu De didn't say much to Yu Xun. He followed the crowd and pushed forward crazily, as if trying to compete for the position in front.
Some people were so crowded that the person at the front actually fell directly into the canal.
Such a crazy scene made Yu Xun take a breath. Although he didn't know what kind of event it was, but from what Gu De said, he guessed that it should be a talent competition feast for talented people!
He took a deep breath as he looked at the young masters and 'literati' who were vying for the first place.
As expected, Kyoto is a land of outstanding people, and the scholars here competed so fiercely for the grand event.
For a moment, he was also infected, and he gathered around to join in the grand event.
The boat was traveling very slowly, and it took a long time to reach the bank of the canal. At this time, many scholars who had fallen into the water had climbed ashore, but all of them were like drowned rats. They completely lost the temperament of the literati, but still had a bit of
Comedy.
The boat docked on the shore and a staircase was set up.
The originally restless crowd suddenly became quiet, but they were still competing secretly.
Yu Xun, who was standing outside, followed everyone's gaze and looked towards the door where Huafang lowered the stairs.
I saw a well-dressed woman with her graceful figure wrapped in red rose gauze. She slowly walked to the edge of the boat and looked at the dark group of people.
With a charming look in his eyes, a soft voice came: "Dear gentlemen, those who are lucky enough to board the boat today may have a chance to win Miss Qin's love!"
The soldiers in the darkness below all went crazy when they heard Miss Qin's words. They raised their hands and hammered their chests, wishing they could board the boat right now.
When Yu Xun saw these scholars suddenly becoming agitated, he became confused and thought: Could it be that this Qin girl is a great Confucian?
Thinking of this, he took in a breath of cold air.
Sure enough, Kyoto is a place where talents come out in large numbers, and even women can become great scholars!
If the scholars and young masters nearby knew that Yu Xun was thinking about this, I'm afraid they would look at him strangely and even laugh out loud.
Yu Xun grew up in a private school in a remote place. He only studied and studied, and had no chance to be exposed to these things.
Yu Xun also tried his best to squeeze in, but compared with these purposeful young masters, he was still inferior.
In the blink of an eye, many people had boarded the boat one after another, and Xun had also approached the stairs to board the boat.
But before he could climb up, a burly man stopped him and the scholar behind him: "Okay, we have enough people today!"
After saying this, the burly man asked people to put away the steps to go up to the boat.
