Ye Wuchen stretched out his hand and the Divine Sword Ring flashed. Two fingernail-sized fruits appeared in his palm. The fruits were bright red and emitted a faint fiery glow. At the same time, a slight heat was emitted from them. Naturally, these were not the Heaven Destruction Dragon Fruits. Instead, they were similar fruits that he had picked along the way. Using Wuchen's power as a medium, he injected a small amount of fire element into them, allowing them to release fire and heat for a short period of time. This was what he had planned from the very beginning.
There were only two, just enough to "save the lives of two people". He believed that even if Long Yin suspected it, he would not dare to risk his life to have someone cut them open to check their contents.
"These are the Heaven Destruction Dragon Fruits?" Long Yin asked in surprise.
"That's right. There are two of them in the center of the Heaven Destruction Volcano. They can cure the poison in the Emperor and Empress. I heard Master say that the Heaven Destruction Dragon Fruit is the hottest item in the world. Although it is not hot on the outside, it contains an extremely dense fire element. If a normal person eats it, their internal organs will be burned to death. However, after the Emperor and Empress eat it, it will counteract the cold poison of the Yin element and completely eliminate the soul-killing cold poison. The idea of it increasing the power of the fire element is completely unfounded. " Ye Wuchen explained and placed the two "Heaven Destruction Dragon Fruits" in Long Yin's hands. Then, he said solemnly, "Your Majesty, when you eat it, you must not bite it into pieces, much less cut it into pieces."
Long Yin had a look of understanding. He chuckled and said, "After you cut it open, the fire element will leak out. It might even burn our imperial study. It has already been a month and a half. The cold poison can act up at any time. We will not stay any longer. General Ye, remember to bring Wuchen to receive the reward tomorrow. We will reward the Yeh family in front of all the civil and military officials. "
"Yes." Ye Wei agreed.
"Oh, that's right." Long Yin, who was about to leave, turned around and said with a smile, "Wuchen, our Phoenix misses you so much that she can't eat or drink. When you have nothing to do, you should accompany her for a few more days. Hahahaha."
When he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became dark and uncertain. Long Huang 'er was overly attached to him. This was not a good thing.
Behind him, Ye Wuchen knew the change in his expression from the slight movement of his ear muscles and snorted in disdain.
As Long Yin walked over, Wang Wenshu said with concern, "Chen 'er, you must be tired after running around for so long. Go back and rest for a while. Mother will prepare some snacks for you right away."
Ye Wuchen shook his head and said, "No, I'm not tired." He paused and stared at her face. "How have you been recently, Big Sister?"
"Ye Wuchen" Wang Wenshu's expression and said, "Ye Wuchen's Huang". "Ye Wuchen" Ye Wu "Ye Ye Xiao Out. and" Ye "
Ye Wuchen's heart sank. He stood up and frowned, "Did something happen to my sister?"
Ye Shuiyao had been gone for five days. She must have arrived at the Great Wind Nation by now. For the past few days, Wang Wenshu had not been able to sleep well. Now that Ye Wuchen mentioned it, she felt a lump in her throat and could not help but cry again.
"What's going on? Tell me!" Their expressions made Ye Wuchen more and more uneasy. He knew that the feeling he had along the way had come true. Something must have happened to Ye Shuiyao … But it did not feel like she was injured or her life was in danger. What was it?
"Your sister … She's married." Ye Wei let out a long sigh.
"Marry …" Ye Wuchen repeated these two words. His mind was in a whirl. He turned his face stiffly and asked in a daze, "Who did you marry?"
The tearing pain in his heart told him that he could not accept this fact.
"Feng Ling, the crown prince of Great Wind Nation," Ye Wei answered. Ye Wuchen's expression did not surprise him. Before leaving home, Ye Wuchen would go to Ye Shuiyao's place every day. Anyone could see that the relationship between the siblings was really good.
Great Wind …
Ye Wuchen's chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear. He sat down heavily. Great Wind. These two words made him completely understand.
"Sunflower Nation sided with Great Wind. Not long after the new emperor ascended to the throne, Great Wind Nation launched a surprise attack that caught everyone off guard, cutting off the path of retreat at the western border. Then, they sent Feng Ling, the crown prince, to issue a letter of challenge … Feng Ling fell in love with Yao 'er at first sight. He used her as a condition in exchange for a retreat and a five-year truce. With no other choice … Sigh." Ye Wei gave a brief explanation. However, he saw Ye Wuchen sitting there motionlessly. Even if Ye Wei did not explain, he had already guessed the gist of it.
He regretted leaving Celestial Dragon City during this period of time. Otherwise, he would never have allowed this to happen. The three-year deal between him and Nanhuangzong was not just to protect the Yeh family. If Great Wind Nation really wanted to go to war, Nanhuangzong would definitely intervene to protect the Yeh family. The best thing for Great Wind Nation to do after receiving the news was to hide for three years. Therefore, even without Ye Shuiyao as a bargaining chip, Great Wind Nation would not attack Tenryū Province within three years.
However, no one else knew about it except him. Moreover, he was not in Celestial Dragon City at that time. Even he did not expect Great Wind Nation to be so impatient to launch an attack at this time.
"How long has sister been married?" A pain spread in his chest. He half-closed his eyes and asked in a low voice.
"She's been gone for five days. She should be in Great Wind Nation by now." Ye Wei looked at Ye Wuchen for a while and said, "Chen 'er, we're just as sad as you are. But … fortunately, Feng Ling is sincere to Yao 'er. He won't mistreat her. Besides, this is Yao 'er's own choice. She used her own happiness as a bargaining chip in exchange for the peace of Tenryū Province. The Yeh family is proud of her. She will also be proud of her choice. "
"Sister's own choice … Sister's own choice …"
'Sister, is this really what you want …'
Ye Wuchen stood up and left in a daze. Looking at his lonely back, Ye Wei and Ye Nu sighed at the same time. However, they did not know why Ye Wuchen was in pain.
Ningxue and Oculum were playing in the courtyard. Ye Wuchen walked over and held their hands. He walked to his own courtyard in a daze. The two girls noticed his abnormality, and their moods also became very gloomy. Ningxue asked worriedly, "Brother, what's wrong? Is there something you're unhappy about? "
Ye Wuchen's face was gloomy. He shook his head when he heard this. He suddenly stopped at the entrance of his own courtyard. He changed his direction and walked towards Ye Shuiyao's courtyard.
The courtyard was still so quiet, but the difference was that there was a sense of desolation in the quietness, because there was something missing. When he opened the door, the familiar layout came into view. Everything here had not changed. It was spotless. Someone would probably come here to clean it every day. On the desk, there was a thick layer of paper. When she was here, she spent most of her time drawing. Only Ye Wuchen knew that she did not draw for the sake of drawing, but for the sake of her heart.
On top of the paper, there was still the lotus flower that she had drawn the most recently. However, this lotus flower, which should have bloomed together, only had one lonely flower. It was sad and lonely. Ye Wuchen put his hand on this painting. He could not calm down for a long time.
When he opened the bedroom door, there was a very light fragrance. It was Ye Shuiyao's body fragrance that had not completely dispersed. It was very light, but very familiar. Ningxue looked at the same empty bedroom and finally asked, "Brother, where is sister?"
"She left." Ye Wuchen answered.
"Left? Where did she go? "Ningxue grabbed his hand. His expression made her feel as if there was a heavy burden on her heart.
"She went to the Dafeng Nation." Ye Wuchen said absentmindedly. Marrying there meant that she was already a member of the Feng Family. She would never return to the Yeh family in this life.
"The Dafeng Nation?"
Ye Wuchen's eyes carefully scanned every corner of the room. On the bed that Ye Shuiyao had slept on for more than ten years, there were two rolled-up paintings. His heart trembled. He walked over and held the two paintings in his hand.
He unrolled the two paintings. These two paintings were the "Peerless Beauty" and "Alluring Smile" that Ye Wuchen had made for Ye Shuiyao. Facing this painting, Ye Shuiyao's figure appeared in front of him as if she was by his side.
"Sister … Is this your choice?" Looking at the peerless beauty in the painting, Ye Wuchen softly murmured.
That glimpse completely touched Feng Ling. When he saw Ye Shuiyao for the first time, how could Ye Wuchen not be deeply shocked by her? That was why he said so many things to her the first time they met. After that, he tried his best to get close to her and opened the door of her closed heart in all kinds of ways. From the way she looked at him, he knew that her heart had already been touched by him without her even knowing it.
Now, these two paintings meant that she had chosen to forget about him.
How could there be such a change in the short span of one and a half months? She chose to go to Dafeng Country and chose to forget him … The only thing she did not choose was to wait for him to return.
Ye Wuchen dejectedly closed the two paintings and tasted the bitterness in his heart. He already knew Ye Shuiyao well enough. If she was not willing, she would not care even if the sky fell down. This was her choice and he had no right to interfere.
"Brother …" Ningxue's heart became sour and her eyes became misty. She leaned against his body and gave him her own comfort.
Beside his hand was a light red pillow that exuded a faint fragrance. The front of the pillow was embroidered with a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water. It was not well done and the stitches were obviously rusty and messy. Moreover, it looked like it was embroidered not long ago. Ye Wuchen could not help but hold the pillow in his hand. He remembered that when he left Celestial Dragon City, Ye Shuiyao had only embroidered the beginning. That day, when she was embroidering, she had hurriedly hid it when she saw him come in.
He carefully turned the pillow over. The back was also embroidered. In the middle, there was a twin lotus flower that bloomed together. Next to the lotus flower, there were two words embroidered. When he saw the two words clearly, Ye Wuchen's whole body shook as if he was suddenly awakened by a bolt of lightning.
Two words, one for Yao, the other for Chen.
Ye Wuchen's heart trembled … Yes, she was running away. She was not running away from her heart, not from him, but from their "blood relationship". Because in her heart, he was her biological brother. She would feel that the kind of feelings she had for him was an unforgivable sin that would destroy her and the person who had opened the door to her heart. She must have sensed his feelings for her from his constant teasing and hints … So, she chose to leave, forcing the two of them to abandon their feelings for each other. She could not care less about him, but she could not destroy her "brother".
How could he have forgotten such a simple reason when his heart was in a mess! Was this what they meant by being too concerned …
His heart was filled with a strong emotion. He stood up from the bed and immediately hugged Ningxue in his arms. He held Oculum's hand and shouted with determination, "Let's go!"
He impatiently walked out of the courtyard and rushed in the direction of the main gate.
"Chen 'er, where are you going? Why don't you take a good rest first?" Wang Wenshu, who was in the courtyard, saw him running out with a heavy expression. She pulled him back and asked with concern.
"To Dafeng Nation!" He stopped in his tracks and said stiffly.
"… Ah? Why are you going to Dafeng Nation? "Wang Wenshu's eyes widened and she wondered if she had heard wrongly.
Ye Wuchen turned around and swept his dark and deep gaze across Wang Wenshu, Ye Wei, and Ye Nu who was looking in his direction. He said with a voice as firm as steel, "I'm going to snatch my sister back … No one has the right to decide her happiness!!"
