"Gui Ya, where's Bing Yao? Is she not with you? " After speaking with Gui Ya for a while, he still hadn't heard Mu Bing Yao's voice. Thinking back to that night, his heart tightened.
"She's not with us, but Master doesn't need to worry. We've already contacted her … or rather, she contacted us. That night, she was attacked and heavily injured, but was rescued by the Xiao family. She woke up two days ago and is currently recovering at the Xiao family's residence. It's very safe there, so there's no need to worry, "Gui Ya said.
Ling Chen nodded and relaxed. He then said, "Tell me about the situation in Beijing these past few days."
"Mm," Gui Ya replied. After thinking for a while, he said, "The Long family can't confirm whether master is dead or alive, but they are clearly extremely afraid of master. Although they believe that master is likely dead, they have still issued a national warrant for master, and have set up an inescapable net around the capital and surrounding areas. By now, everyone in Hua Xia should know Master's name and appearance. Master needs to change his identity, and when you go out, you need to change your appearance. Also, before your strength fully recovers, it's best if you don't return to Beijing. "
Ling Chen nodded. This was all within his expectations. When he arrived at Zhong Zhou, he had used a method of jumping onto the roof of a train. After arriving at Zhong Zhou, his disguise covered half of his face. His injuries had not recovered, and his stamina had been greatly depleted. Right now, he couldn't move as he pleased.
"By the way, why did Master return to Zhong Zhou?" Gui Ya asked.
"… Back then, I left to go to Beijing to cure Ruo Ruo. When Ruo Ruo was alive, she always wanted to come back. At that time, I wasn't able to do it. Now that Ruo Ruo is gone, I have no reason to stay in Beijing and no reason not to come back. "
At the mention of "Ruoruo", anyone would be able to hear the heart-wrenching pain contained within. Gui Ya immediately felt that he had asked a question he shouldn't have and hurriedly said, "Master, this matter … this matter is just as painful as you are. Please … please restrain your grief. Sister Shui Ruo loves you more than anything. Although her body has left, her heart will definitely stay to accompany you. She definitely doesn't want to see master sad, so … "
A slight smile appeared on Ling Chen's face, "Haha, Gui Ya, I didn't think you'd be able to say such words. Don't worry, I've already made a huge mistake that night. If it wasn't for me, Ying Ya, Gui Dao, and Buggy wouldn't be in trouble, and you guys wouldn't be injured. I won't do the same thing again. I won't seek death. I'll live well. "
Gui Ya's voice once again became excited, "Master, we're very happy that you think this way … master, are you planning on staying in the Central Region in the future?"
Stay in the Central Plains?
He wanted to stay here because this was his and Shui Ruo's first home. This was the place where they knew each other and had so many beautiful memories. However, he couldn't stay here. Every day, he had to face every inch of this place. His soul would be touched by the scenery, and he would never be able to smile in his heart. How could he take care of Tian Tian like this? In addition, if he stayed here, he would quickly be noticed by others, and the people from the Long family would quickly discover him.
"I'll stay in the Central Region, but I won't stay in the Central Region. Tomorrow, I'll bring Tian Tian to 'Heaven City', Su Hang. In the future, we'll stay there," Ling Chen slowly said.
Tian Tian looked up at Ling Chen. Su Hang City was a place she had heard her big brother and big sister talk about. It was like spring all year round, and the scenery was picturesque. It was the most beautiful city in Hua Xia, and it was called 'Hua Xia's Heaven' … it was most likely a beautiful place.
Su Hang City was to the south of the Central Region, and they were on the north and south sides. Gui Ya knew that Shui Ruo's death was a massive blow to Ling Chen. Although he looked calm, everyone knew that he had buried his pain deep within his heart. This sort of pain couldn't be forgotten in a year or two … perhaps the scenery of Su Hang City would make him forget some of his pain.
"There are 3 people stationed in Su Hang City, and I'll immediately contact them. Everything will be settled by today. Has master decided on a new identity, as well as a place to live? "
Ling Chen fell silent for a while before slowly replying, "I'll still be surnamed Ling … Ling Tian Ya. His parents are overseas, and they don't return. He has 2 little sisters. One is called Ling Shui Xin, and she's with his parents overseas. The other is Ling Yiruo, and she's with him in the house his parents left behind. Their house can be at the foot of the mountain, or by a lake. It doesn't need to be too big, as long as it's quiet and fresh. "
Hearing Ling Chen's words, Gui Ya felt a stabbing pain in his heart … he knew that deep in Ling Chen's heart, he still couldn't accept the fact that Shui Ruo had died. He could only nod, "Tomorrow, when master and Tian Tian arrive in Su Hang City, everything will be prepared. After we recover, we'll head there as soon as possible. In Beijing, we'll leave about 10 people behind to keep an eye on the Long family. If there's a chance, we'll go and save Buggy. "
"That's right, master, there's one more thing," Gui Ya said, "We all felt that this was quite strange. In actuality, the person who saved master that night wasn't us, but a person dressed entirely in black. If it wasn't for that person, master might have … might have been killed. "
"A person dressed entirely in black?" Ling Chen stared in shock.
"That's right! It was that person who brought out the unconscious master and gave him to us. He even helped us block the injured Xuanyuan Dao, who was still the most troublesome to deal with. Afterwards, we found out that that person was called Feng Xie Yu, the 'Sword Emperor'! That night, she left after us, and we don't know where she went. Right now, both the Long family and Xuanyuan family are doing their best to find her. We just can't understand why she would help us. "
Ling Chen remained silent for a while, and his heart, which had finally calmed down, once again began to pound.
Dia Wu … was it you … was it really you … were you really Dia Wu …
You didn't die … that Sword Emperor … was it really you …
You saved me. Was that when you recognized me? Did you recognise the person who had lost you for so many years …
So where are you now? How can I find you …
"Master? Master? "After not hearing Ling Chen's response for a while, Gui Ya tried to ask.
Ling Chen came back to his senses, and replied in a daze, "It's nothing. You guys should keep an eye on her. Let me know if there's any news. Also, Ruo Ruo's body disappeared that night, so you guys should keep an eye on this … the most important thing is to recover. Everything else can be put aside. "
"… I understand."
After hanging up, Ling Chen took a while to calm himself down. He said to Gui Ci, "Prepare some money for me, and also some clothes for me and Tian Tian … as well as some food … enough food for five people."
Gui Ci noted this down, then immediately left. Very soon, the gold card, clothes and food were all delivered. Tian Tian, who hadn't had much to eat over the past few days with Ling Chen, couldn't help but drool as she looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table. She leapt onto the table and started to wolf down the food without a care for her image. These dishes weren't as delicious as Ling Chen and Shui Ruo's, but after suffering for so many days, they were like heavenly delicacies. Ling Chen sat by her side, and as he watched her crazily eat, he felt both heartache and amusement. As he told her to eat slowly, he picked up a chicken wing and slowly chewed on it. He had also been starving for many days, but he didn't feel hungry at all. His movements were slow and stiff …
This was because this was the first time in all these years that he didn't have Shui Ruo by his side when he ate. He stared in front of him, his movements stiff as he ate, completely oblivious to the taste. His mind had long since drifted away.
Not long after, Gui Ci's food for five people was completely devoured, causing Gui Ci to stare in shock. He looked at Tian Tian as if she was a monster. He finally understood why Ling Chen had asked him to bring food for five people. It wasn't because he was hungry, but because of this girl, who looked like she was the reincarnation of a hungry ghost. After eating her fill, Tian Tian leaned against Ling Chen and closed her eyes, "Big brother, are we going to Su Hang tomorrow? Isn't that place beautiful? Will we stay there forever? "
Ling Chen hugged Tian Tian and said softly, "Mm, it's too dangerous to stay here. We'll leave tomorrow and go to Su Hang. That's the most beautiful city in Hua Xia. Ruoruo really likes it there, and Tian Tian will definitely like it there too. As long as Tian Tian is willing, we can stay there for the rest of our lives. "
"Mm." Tian Tian replied softly, and leaned even closer against Ling Chen.
Ling Chen didn't allow anyone to touch Shui Ruo's room, so Gui Ci tidied up Ling Chen's room. He cleaned up the dust and changed the bedding. He didn't even need to go through the front door, and he wouldn't allow anyone to discover him. He came and went like a ghost. There were two people stationed in Zhongzhou City, and they were in charge of intelligence in Zhongzhou City. At the same time, they also looked after his and Shui Ruo's home. The other person had rushed to Beijing after hearing that something had happened to Ling Chen. He should be on his way back now, so Gui Ci was the only one left here.
Tian Tian leaned against him, and soon fell asleep. She had suffered too much over the past few days. Even after he woke up, she hadn't been able to rest properly. Ling Chen picked her up and placed her on his bed. He covered her with the blanket, "Tian Tian, rest well. I'll be right here, and I won't leave."
Lying on the soft bed and listening to his soothing voice, Tian Tian felt drowsy, and soon, she fell into a deep sleep.
After waiting for Tian Tian's breathing to stabilize, Ling Chen got up and walked out silently. In the bathroom, he turned on the tap to the maximum and let the cold water pour down from the top of his head, drenching his whole body. He closed his eyes, and pressed his hands against his chest. Very quickly, red marks appeared on his chest. It was only when he was alone that he could silently release the pain of losing Shui Ruo. However, he would no longer choose death for relief.
Ruo Ruo, without you, how can I continue on in the future …
