Chapter 70: Breath of Death (5)
"Mr. Wen, Miss Luo, you——"
"Princess, as their master, I couldn't save them, but you risked your life to save them. I really have no way to repay you for this great kindness. Also, because of you, the prince granted me and Yan'er a marriage. We are already very grateful. Now -"
In terms of the result, Wen Shao did receive great favors from Yin Yin, but who can actually know the real reason? Ma Feng's death was not what people wanted, but there was nothing they could do. Wen Shao knew very well in his heart that no matter how many reasons there were, it could not change that he and Luo Yan could be together because of Yin Yin. Ma Feng's death was definitely not related to Yin Yin, and he was executed without her knowing. How could a person who could use his life as a bargaining chip to save a few civilians be executed for Ma Feng's offense? In a way, Wen Shao is different from ordinary people, because he has been with Luo Yan, who cannot speak, for a long time, and he sees more than ordinary people. He will not be blinded by worldly things. This is why he will not be confused by Feng Qinghan and Yin Yin's beauty. He can see the pain in Yin Yin's heart. Even if he doesn't know the reason, he knows that Yin Yin will never do such a cruel thing. Yin Yin's kindness and benevolence deeply attracted him. His feelings for Yin Yin are not out of love, but admiration for her from the bottom of his heart...
"...You don't need to thank me, just get up."
Yin Yin, who seemed to want to say something, suppressed her inner thoughts and helped Luo Yan up. Wen Shao saw this and stood up himself, and so did the others.
"Master Wen, Miss Luo, and you all, please remember that I was not the one who saved you—"
"Princess?"
After being with the mute Luo Yan for a long time, Wen Shao seems to be able to see what Yin Yin is thinking to some extent, but this guess makes him feel too depressed to say it out loud. Luo Yan seems to have noticed it as well. These two seemingly ordinary but extraordinary people have seen the pain in Yin Yin's heart. Even when they first met, they discovered that Yin Yin, with a kind face, was full of scars in her heart. From then on, they no longer had any doubts about Yin Yin.
"Okay, Master Wen, Miss Luo, wait till dawn and leave here as soon as possible. It may be too late if you leave later. Please understand your father-in-law and his men's thoughts. They want you to survive, so they don't want to go with you, right? If you insist on staying here, you may get infected, which is not what they want to see."
"...Princess, what about you?"
Wen Shao already knew what Yin Yin said, but the reality cannot be changed just by knowing, and the grief will not disappear. On the contrary, Wen Shao felt that Yin Yin seemed to have some ideas, since Yin Yin appeared in front of them again.
"I...have something else to confirm, so I have to go."
"Weicheng?"
"Um."
Yin Yin turned her gaze towards Weicheng. Wen Shao knew that there was a firm belief in Yin Yin's eyes as she looked at Weicheng, as if she was determined to do something, which of course was not something he could see through.
"So, can you guys just get out of here right away?"
After looking in the direction of Weicheng, Yinyin shifted her gaze back to the people in front of her, especially staring at Luoyan who was holding her hands. If Luoyan was not too sad and unwilling to leave, they would have left long ago, so Yinyin paid special attention to Luoyan. When she saw Yinyin's eyes, Luoyan seemed to understand a little, and tears welled up in her eyes as she nodded slightly.
"Okay, let's part ways now."
"Uh? Is the princess leaving now?"
"Well, didn't you say that? Prince Jing has ordered a blockade. It will be difficult to get in unless it's dark, right?"
Wen Shao did say so, but he didn't expect Yin Yin to make the decision so quickly, not to mention that she was injured...
"But your injury—"
"Don't worry, he's here."
As she spoke, Yin Yin looked towards the ghost who was sitting on a big rock away from the crowd and was staring at them. The way they were looking at each other seemed to have a tacit understanding?
"Who is he?"
Wen Shao had seen many people, but he had never seen someone who lived in darkness like Guisha. He could tell that Feng Qinghan was not an ordinary person, but at least he could see that he lived in the light. Compared with Guisha, the two of them could be said to be completely different people who lived in two different worlds. Wen Shao felt a little fear of Guisha.
"It should be said that he is my savior and my companion."
When introducing Guisha, Yinyin's heart was filled with mixed feelings of joy and worry. Even so, it was only now. Yinyin began to have some good feelings towards Guisha, perhaps because Guisha kept their promise and saved those three people.
"Then, please take care."
"Well, take care."
After saying "take care", Yin Yin glanced at everyone present before leaving. Then she smiled faintly, let go of Luo Yan's hand, and walked away from Gui Sha without looking back. Luo Yan walked to Wen Shao and leaned on his arms. She stared at Yin Yin's departing back with eyes that were so reluctant to leave. Wen Shao gently embraced Luo Yan in his arms, and looked at Yin Yin with the same reluctant eyes. For some reason, they felt turbulent and uneasy in their hearts...
