In order to ensure the safety of her lover and child, she had endured the humiliation of marrying someone else.
She had never expected that the day she got married would be the day her lover died.
If it weren't for her lover and child supporting her, she would have died a long time ago.
Now, she only felt that all her hopes had turned to dust.
Her lover had died tragically, and when her son saw her get married, he would definitely hate her to the core.
All of her motivation to live on had collapsed. Rather than letting her stay in this world and suffer, it was better to just die like this and reunite with her lover in the netherworld.
"Huo Lang, I'm sorry. I'm coming to keep you company."
She closed her eyes tightly, and tears slowly fell.
Facing the bottomless cliff, she didn't have any fear. Instead, she smiled in relief and turned to jump down.
"No!"
Her companions screamed at the top of their lungs. The next moment, a black shadow passed through the crowd and grabbed Fang Rao's arm.
"Xiao 'er?"
Fang Rao looked at the person who grabbed her in surprise.
But then, she only revealed a desolate smile.
"Let me go, Huo Xiao. This is the sin I have to atone for. You must live well in the future. Don't be as weak as me. "
Fang Rao's heart was filled with remorse.
If it weren't for her compromise, Huo Lang wouldn't have been harmed, and her child wouldn't have suffered so much.
"If you want to atone for your sins, then you should live well and find the real murderer who killed my father!"
Huo Xiao gritted his teeth and pulled her up forcefully. Only then did he manage to drag her off the cliff.
"Xiao 'er, you don't blame me?"
Fang Rao asked as she cried on the edge of the cliff.
Huo Xiao's expression was a little unnatural, but he still nodded lightly.
"I know you're not the murderer."
Fang Rao couldn't control herself anymore. She held her child in her arms and burst into tears.
"It's all mother's fault. I shouldn't have listened to them and left you."
Huo Xiao's body stiffened instinctively, but he didn't struggle.
Just like Fang Rao, the hatred that had accumulated for more than ten years wasn't that easy to get rid of.
But from the moment he saw her jump off the cliff, he had already forgiven her.
He believed that she never truly betrayed him and his father.
That was enough.
The scene of mother and son reuniting with each other was an encouragement to all of Fang Rao's companions.
There were even two who were so worried about their sons that they stared at the cliff.
He was probably wondering if he should jump this time as well.
Unfortunately, Lin Mengya, who had arrived one step too late, had seen through their thoughts.
She advised in a low voice, "Ahem, this is considered a strong medicine. It's best not to blindly follow it. The risk factor is too high, and accidents can easily happen."
"Oh."
There were a few people who looked disappointed, which gave Lin Mengya a headache.
What would happen if everyone lined up to jump off the cliff?
It seemed that she would have to send someone here to keep an eye on him.
On the other side, Fang Rao cried her heart out in her son's arms.
Although Huo Xiao still had a knot in his heart, he was no longer as cold as before.
He helped Fang Rao down.
After handing the person over to her companion, she had already made a decision in her heart.
"Xiao 'er, you …"
Fang Rao thought that he was just here to comfort her and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
But Huo Xiao
He understood what she meant and spoke after some deliberation.
"I can only speak for myself, but whether the others can accept you or not, I have to go back and ask for their opinions."
As the leader of the fortune-tellers, Huo Xiao knew all too well how unfair they had been treated over the years.
He could be a bridge, but he definitely couldn't use the fortune-tellers' trust in him to force them to do anything.
In the end, whether they could continue to be relatives or not depended on their own luck.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little hopeful. Pairs of eyes stared at Huo Xiao with great longing.
But at this time, Lin Mengya couldn't help but pour a bucket of cold water on them.
"Everyone, I don't think this matter is urgent now."
Everyone looked at her and at the same time, they didn't agree with her words.
God knew how long they had waited for such a good opportunity.
If their children could be reunited with them, they would be willing to exchange their lives for it.
But obviously, they had overlooked an objective fact.
"I would like to ask everyone, after you reunite with your family, how do you plan to settle them? Or are you going to let them continue to wander outside and meet you like thieves who can't see the light? Or do you want to bring them back to your current home? Can your current family, partners, and even children accept this stranger? If they can't accept it, are you going to abandon them again? "
Lin Mengya's words made everyone fall silent.
Seeing this, Huo Xiao also sighed.
He had considered these reasons, which was why he had chosen to refuse them from the beginning.
Reuniting with family was a happy thing.
What about after that? Was he going to continue to bear the pain of separation? Or was he going to be invisible and live secretly in the dark?
If that was the case, it would be better to never reunite with them in the first place. The harm would be less.
At this moment, Fang Rao's companions had also calmed down.
Indeed, they had neglected this most basic problem because they wanted to see their family so much.
Each of them had parents and relatives, and they had even gotten married and had children.
Indeed, the most important thing in their hearts were these children that they hadn't seen for a long time.
But what about after reuniting with them?
Were they really prepared to give up everything they had and cut off all ties with their other family members?
They were still hesitant about this.
Huo Xiao had already seen their behavior. He didn't blame anyone, nor did he appear to be particularly anxious.
"I thank all of you for your kindness in advance, but this matter needs to be considered at length. I hope that it won't be too late to talk about it after you've thought it over."
His attitude was already quite gentle.
No matter what, protecting his companions had always been his first responsibility.
Those people fell silent.
It was just that no one felt good in their hearts.
Fang Rao understood these people's concerns the most.
At the same time, she was also the kind of person who was the most burdensome.
After being rescued from the cliff by her son just now, she gradually regained her senses.
"I understand Huo Xiao's meaning, and I also know that everyone has their own responsibilities. They are right, this matter can't be rushed. "
After Fang Rao comforted her companions, she turned her head and looked at Huo Xiao cautiously.
"Although it's difficult for us to make a decision in a short time, can we beg you not to reject our help?"
"Yes, we just want to help."
"Huo Xiao, I'm begging you, let us help you."
Facing the
Looking at everyone's eager eyes, Huo Xiao couldn't refuse.
"All right."
He finally agreed, but on the condition that Lin Mengya must be the one to deliver it, just like before.
No one objected to this.
After all, she knew the missing things in the campsite the best, and it was easier for everyone to accept her words.
Lin Mengya naturally accepted this task without hesitation.
In the end, Fang Rao left with her companions.
Huo Xiao stood where he was and followed them until he could no longer see anyone.
Lin Mengya didn't disturb him.
She didn't speak until Huo Xiao looked away.
"Brother Huo, I'm really sorry for what happened today. I just don't want you to have a lifetime of regret."
In fact, she didn't want to set Huo Xiao up.
However, it was Wang Yan's request.
He had been with Huo Xiao for the longest time, so he naturally knew what the knot in his boss's heart was.
In Wang Yan's words, he couldn't bear to see his boss have a lifetime of regret.
If Fang Rao really had something to do with the massacre of the Huo family, then Huo Xiao could hate her with a clear conscience.
Not like now, where love and hate intertwined and pain intertwined.
Lin Mengya also realized that Huo Xiao was hiding such a thing in his heart.
It was no wonder that he was so emotional.
Huo Xiao shook his head.
"I have to thank you. In fact, I haven't let go of her at all. All these years, I thought I hated her. In fact, I've been trying to absolve her. Now, I'm just more obedient to my own heart. "
Lin Mengya was a little surprised by Huo Xiao's clarity.
That was true.
He had lived with monstrous hatred since he was young. If he didn't have an open mind, he would have lost himself long ago.
"Are you still going to leave?"
"Yes."
This time, Huo Xiao's answer was without hesitation.
"We've suffered heavy losses. If we don't leave in time, I'm afraid we'll be completely trapped here."
He expressed his apologies to her again.
"I thought I could help you, but I didn't expect to trouble you to help us."
"Don't say that. Since we're all friends, it's only right for us to help each other."
Lin Mengya thought about it and agreed with Huo Xiao.
"Indeed, it's not too late to leave now. I don't know if those people from the Elders Council have gone mad. They're actually so brazenly targeting all of you. "
Hearing this, Huo Xiao's face tightened.
"They've always treated us like this. They just hid it in the past. Now, they're completely shameless."
Huo Xiao never had any expectations for the Elders Council.
Now, it was just a fact that they weren't worth trusting.
Therefore, he didn't plan to stay in the aboriginals.
After all, he was free and unfettered outside. Why would he let his companions suffer in the aboriginals?
Looking at Huo Xiao, Lin Mengya finally understood why Wang Yan, Wu Ying, and the other fortune-tellers trusted him so much.
"What are you smiling at?" Huo Xiao looked at her smiling face and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Lin Mengya simply said, "I just feel that you're very similar to the one in my family. No wonder he doesn't like you. It turns out that the same sex repels each other. "
Huo Xiao's eyes lit up, but he didn't show it on his face. "Oh? Since I'm very similar to His Highness, then you … "
"Madam, His Highness is looking for you urgently."
