Chapter 636 Reminder
Sheng Yunjiao wanted to give it a try.
She didn't want to be powerless to change her own life forever.
She may never become a great hero, but at least she should improve a little bit, and then a little bit more.
In this way, when unexpected events occur, she won't just be passively waiting for fate to take its course.
Yan Yue stared at her blankly, feeling that the girl he liked was shining brightly.
Lu Yangyang waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Wow, you're mesmerized!"
Yan Yue snapped out of his daze and scratched his head sheepishly.
Lu Yangyang tilted her head thoughtfully, "I suddenly remembered, did you get my permission before you kidnapped my sister?"
Yan Yue immediately cried out that he was wronged: "She's practically clinging to you, how could I possibly sway her? She'd rather choose you than me!"
Sheng Yun snorted: "You know that's good. In my heart, of course Yangyang is number one!"
"And what about me?" Yan Yue asked expectantly.
Sheng Yunjiao blinked: "Let's see how you do!"
Then she took Lu Yangyang's arm and swayed it: "Let's go!"
"Huh?" Yan Yue chased after him unwillingly: "Then when you marry me in the future, I will take you all over the Great Zhao, let you hear the best stories, and let you eat all the delicacies in the world!"
Sheng Yunjiao blushed again and turned to glare at him: "Can you keep your voice down!"
Yan Yue chuckled: "I need you to hear me!"
Sheng Yunjiao blushed even more, glared at him, and quickened her pace, pulling Lu Yangyang along with her.
Laughter filled the surroundings, and even passersby couldn't help but look over. Watching the lively and spirited teenagers, they couldn't help but relax their brows and eyes.
Yuechuan may still seem like the same Yuechuan, but she is no longer the same Yuechuan she once was.
……
A few days later, Zong Que and Yan Yue led their men to evacuate Yuechuan. Unexpectedly, Ming Ruo stayed behind.
He found Lu Yangyang, handed her a letter, and asked her to pass it on to the Salt Gang and deliver it to Lin Wuji.
Lu Yangyang really hadn't expected him to choose to stay, but she still asked, "When are you going back?"
"One or two years, maybe three or five years, we'll always go back." Mingruo even spoke to Lu Yangyang with a hint of joking.
Lu Yangyang looked at him curiously, feeling that Mingruo seemed different in some way.
He was a very gentle-looking person, but he always seemed to be surrounded by an inexplicable loneliness and sadness, a sense of death that was forever hopeless about life.
No matter how well he disguised himself in the past, that feeling never lies; he always seemed to maintain a faint distance from others.
But at this moment, Lu Yangyang felt that he seemed to be much more cheerful and warmer.
She was somewhat curious about how this change came about, but didn't ask any further questions.
Everyone has their own secrets.
She put the letter away and said to him, "I will ask someone from Tiancheng Trading Company to deliver it, but I don't know when it will reach Lin Wuji."
Mingruo nodded: "Aren't you going to ask me why I want to stay?"
Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "I respect your choice. You must have your reasons."
Ming Ruo laughed.
"Yangyang, there are some things I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I think I'll never have the right to say them, nor will I ever be able to. That's fine. In any case, I'm grateful." Mingruo looked at her quietly, his fingers slowly clenching in his sleeve, afraid that if he wasn't careful, his unconcealed longing would come out and reveal his feelings.
I've liked her since I met her.
But ironically, he never had the right to like her.
It was even more impossible to say.
If I say it out loud, I'm afraid I'll never be able to say goodbye in this lifetime.
But I still hope to see you again sometime in the future, just like today, or even just once more.
Even if it's just for a few moments, he will be grateful.
Lu Yangyang felt that these words sounded a little strange, but before she could think about it, Mingruo changed the subject: "I lived with Wuji for a period of time when we were young. He is not the biological son of the former leader of the Salt Gang. You knew this before."
Lu Yangyang nodded: "Why are you bringing this up?"
She's not interested in Lin Wuji either!
“When Wuji went south, he mentioned something. Someone was looking for him, saying it was related to his background,” Mingruo said. “Originally, this was his private matter, and I shouldn’t have said anything. But I have an uncertain guess in my heart, and I feel I should tell you.”
Lu Yangyang looked at him curiously.
"Perhaps it is related to the Northern Yan."
"What?" Lu Yangyang was genuinely shocked this time.
“I have known him for many years and trust his character. But things are ever-changing in this world and people’s hearts are unpredictable. Even if he has no ulterior motives, it is hard to guarantee that someone will not take advantage of this matter.” Mingruo looked into the distance and told Lu Yangyang the reason: “When I brought my father back to Dazhao, I used his connections. My father saw him from afar and then asked me a question: Is he of Northern Yan blood? At the time, I did not take it to heart and just told my father that he was overthinking it. It was not until he realized that his background was different and went south that I felt that this matter might not be so simple.”
Lu Yangyang was increasingly surprised as she listened.
Mingruo's father, Bo Zi'an, the former consort of the eldest princess, was a hostage in Northern Yan with Crown Prince Chongwen. Over the years, the Northern Yan people they had met who left a deep impression on him were at least Northern Yan nobles.
If Lin Wuji's identity is truly questionable, then his background must be anything but ordinary.
But why would someone like that end up in the Salt Gang?
Was this an accident, or was it a premeditated scheme?
However, Lu Yangyang knew nothing about Northern Yan. If she had known about this two days earlier, she could have asked Zong Que and perhaps found some clues.
But now Zong Que has already left Yuechuan.
However, she could understand why Mingruo didn't tell Zongque about this, but instead told her. It was just a baseless guess, and telling her would be a reminder to her. But if she told Zongque, it would raise a different issue altogether.
Seeing that she seemed troubled, Mingruo apologized to her softly, "If these things make you uneasy, just pretend you didn't hear them."
Lu Yangyang shook her head: "That's not the case. I should thank you for your reminder. If that were the case, I'm afraid the person behind it had been planning this for a long time and just happened to expose it at this time. They must have something big on their mind."
Mingruo was slightly taken aback. "Aque always praises you for being smart, and now I've seen it for myself."
He merely mentioned the possibility to her, and she pinpointed the perfect timing. Indeed, the reason he ultimately decided to bring it up with Lu Yangyang was precisely because of the timing. Lin Wuji had been in the Salt Gang for so many years, and his background had never been questioned. Why was it only after the Salt Gang's major reorganization, or perhaps precisely after the events at the Jiangnan Salt Mine, that it was brought up? What were the people behind this plotting?
Based on his understanding of Lin Wuji and Lin Wuji's feelings for Lu Yangyang, he knew they would inevitably meet again and have further interactions, which was why he felt compelled to remind Lu Yangyang.
