When Yang Xuan saw that Xiao Ziyi was unharmed, his eyes turned red with excitement, and he quickly rushed over and hugged Xiao Ziyi tightly in his arms.
"I'm sorry Ziyi, I'm late!"
At this moment, Yang Xuan realized how important Xiao Ziyi was to him.
Only he himself understood how nervous he felt deep inside when he saw the corpses all over the yard just now.
If he saw Xiao Ziyi's body, he would probably feel like the sky was about to fall.
"Yang Xuan......"
Xiao Ziyi's eyes were red, but he didn't show much excitement after seeing Yang Xuan, and there was even guilt in his eyes.
The body did not respond to Yang Xuan's hug like before.
Yang Xuan felt a little confused and saw Xiao Ziyi's eyes looking to the side. He quickly turned his head and saw a trembling man squatting in the corner.
The man was dressed very cleanly, squatting in the corner with his head lowered, and his shocking white hair was very eye-catching.
"Brother Zhongzhi?"
Yang Xuan tried to shout softly.
The other party slowly raised his head and saw that it was Yang Xuan. His eyes were filled with relief, but mixed with endless sadness. He forced a smile and said, "I feel relieved now that you are here."
"What the hell happened!"
Yang Xuan looked at the hair on Shangguan's middle finger, "What's wrong with your hair..."
"He became like this for me and the Xiao family."
Xiao Ziyi choked up and said, "When the Black Cavalry Battalion attacked us, Shangguan blocked them with his own benefit."
"But there are too many of them, and the Xiao family is useless in front of them. In order to protect me, Shangguan consumed all the energy in his body in advance."
"So he suddenly becomes old, and the skills he has worked hard for disappear, and he will become frail and sickly in the future."
Shangguan looked at Xiao Ziyi with his middle finger and showed a soft smile, "Zi Yi, I'm sorry, it's because I didn't have the ability to protect Uncle Xiao and the others..."
"No, sir!"
Xiao Ziyi said with red eyes, "You have done a lot for me, I...I owe you, I will never be able to repay you in this life!"
Yang Xuan was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and then slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Ziyi.
Xiao Ziyi also looked at Yang Xuan. Neither of them spoke, but the guilt in Xiao Ziyi's eyes seemed to explain everything.
"Shangguan, you rest here for a while, I'll go outside to talk to Yang Xuan alone for a while."
With that said, Xiao Ziyi slowly walked out the door. Yang Xuan glanced at Shangguan Zhongzhi who was squatting in the corner, and quickly followed Xiao Ziyi out.
"I'm sorry, my home is gone and I can't even serve you a glass of water."
Xiao Ziyi forced a smile at Yang Xuan. Even though the family had become like this, Xiao Ziyi still maintained that unique gentleness and tranquility.
But for Yang Xuan, this sentence felt like countless knives digging into his heart!
He seemed to have roughly guessed what Xiao Ziyi was going to say next.
"Yang Xuan, thank you for everything you have done for me and the Xiao family for so long. I am very, very grateful to you."
"I have never felt wronged by being your concubine. It is the most glorious thing in my life to have a man like you."
"But now, Shangguan Zhongzhi has ruined his life for me."
"He is a very clean and clear person. At first he said he liked me, but I just thought it was a joke."
"But when you were away, he was always with me. No matter what I did, he would always stand by my side."
"I can express my ease in front of him and feel particularly relaxed. No matter what I look like, every time he sees me, he always has a sunny and happy smile on his face."
"I slowly felt Shangguan's deep-seated love for me. I am a commoner, and if I am liked by such a boy, I will melt in unknowingly."
"But I still stick to the bottom line deep in my heart. I have told Shangguan Zhongzhi countless times that it is impossible for me and him."
"But Shangguan always answers that it is impossible for me and him to be unimportant. It's fine that he likes me. As long as I am good, he is willing to do anything for me."
"This time, the Black Cavalry Battalion came to our door. Shangguan Zhongzhi could have escaped easily with his own cultivation and his identity as having nothing to do with the Xiao family."
"But he still chose to stand in front of me without hesitation. Although he is very capable, he is always outnumbered."
"In the end, he chose to exhaust all the energy in his body, preparing to die together with the other party."
"But luckily, because he had a very good foundation, he didn't die after the energy was exhausted. It just made him old and sickly."
"Yang Xuan, I really can't bear to hurt him anymore, a young, clean and clear boy who loves me to the core."
"Now that I'm like this, I really don't want to hurt him at all anymore."
"So, Yang Xuan, I want to say sorry to you. You can scold me or blame me, but I really don't want to..."
"Okay, stop talking."
Yang Xuan looked at Xiao Ziyi, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and showed a particularly soft smile, "I have always said before that if you find your own happiness one day, you must take advantage of it."
"So to hear you say this today, I'm really happy for you."
"What are your plans next?"
Yang Xuan asked with a smile.
Xiao Ziyi sighed softly, "After settling the matter here, Shangguan and I plan to go to a place where no one knows us."
"For the rest of my life, I will stay with him and live a stable and peaceful life without being disturbed by others or knowing about my past life with him."
"Well, that's fine too."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Someone will help you here later, and then... I have something else to do, so I will go back first. I wish you happiness."
With that said, Yang Xuan walked straight towards the stairs.
"etc."
Xiao Ziyi suddenly shouted from behind.
Yang Xuan turned around suddenly, "I...is there anything else?"
Xiao Ziyi slowly took off the purple tooth necklace from her neck and said softly, "I'll give this back to you, thank you."
Yang Xuan was stunned, stretched out his hand to connect the purple tooth necklace, then smiled at Xiao Ziyi and walked out of Xiao's house without saying a word.
Yang Xuan whistled, hummed a tune, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked very relaxed and at ease.
"It seems that I will never be sorry to Su Nan again. Alas, Ziyi has finally found her own happiness, and I can finally relax."
Yang Xuan smiled as he walked.
He walked from day to night, not knowing where he was going. He just felt that such a good thing must be released.
In the evening, he originally planned to go to a bar and open a few bottles of wine to celebrate, but as soon as he arrived at the door of the bar, he suddenly thought of something and hurried straight to the airport and caught a flight back to Nanjiang.
After getting off the plane, Yang Xuan quickly drove towards the back mountain of Nanjiang, and then arrived at the top of the back mountain alone in the middle of the night.
This is the place where he and Xiao Ziyi climbed the mountain for the first time.
"This is the starting point and the end. I am finally free."
Yang Xuan walked to the raised rock, then gently opened his palms, looked at the purple tooth necklace, and said with a smile, "Maybe she and I will never meet again in this life."
