Chapter 425 - 425 A Trace Of Evil Seed
425 A Trace Of Evil Seed
In this world, there were many people who used mystic techniques to extend their lives. The aura that flashed and disappeared on Xiaowu’s body was a trace of evil seed.
This evil seed did not come from Xiaowu.
If Xiaowu missed her grandmother, would her grandmother miss Xiaowu too?
Her grandmother’s lifespan was coming to an end, and she still had unfulfilled wishes. How would she extend her life?
Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng. “If you don’t mind, I want to go with you.”
Li Guanfeng frowned slightly. He realized that Liu Sanniang must have seen something. Li Guanfeng was deep in thought. Between justice and love, he would never choose justice.
Li Guanfeng said calmly, “I have something I want to protect, and Miss Liu has something you want to protect. If the two things we want to protect are in a conflict, please forgive me for having to become enemies with you.”
Life was too short. Everyone had their own pursuits. He was grateful to Liu Sanniang, but he would not choose to side with Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng and said calmly, “No matter what you do, I won’t change my mind.”
Li Guanfeng cupped his hands. “The last thing I want to do in my life is probably to be your enemy. If that day really comes, I will not hold back.”
Li Guanfeng lowered his eyes and looked at the sleeping little girl in his arms. His expression softened. This was his Xiaowu. She had risked everything for him. How could he let her down?
He was the same. No matter when or where, he would stand by Xiaowu’s side and live and die with her. He did not want to experience the pain of separation again in this life.
Liu Sanniang’s expression did not change as she asked calmly. “Lord Li, when do you plan to set off?”
Li Guanfeng also replied calmly. “Tomorrow, if we hurry to Chuzhou from here, we can arrive in a day.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Ok.”
She turned around and left. Her eldest brother was going to get married on the sixth of June. She had to return before that.
Li Guanfeng looked at Liu Sanniang’s departing figure and frowned. He carried Su Xiaowu back to the house and put her down. Then, he went out and instructed Ligui. “Go and get everything ready. We’ll set off for Chuzhou immediately.”
Ligui and Liming were confused. “Your Lordship, why are we going to Chuzhou?”
The cases in Chuzhou were not for them to interfere.
Moreover, Chuzhou was a big city. Any government official could easily surpass Li Guanfeng in terms of status.
Li Guanfeng said calmly, “I’m going there to settle some personal matters.”
Upon hearing that it was a personal matter, Ligui and Liming thought of the girl called Xiaowu.
As expected, when they were ready, they saw Li Guanfeng carrying a girl into the carriage…
Since it was a personal matter, Li Guanfeng did not even bring anyone along. He only brought Ligui and Liming with him.
Su Xiaowu woke up in the carriage and was scared. When she realized that Li Guanfeng was beside her, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Brother, where are we going?”
Li Guanfeng hugged her. “Xiaowu, don’t you want to find your grandmother? I’m taking you to find her.”
Su Xiaowu’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “Really? Will I be able to see her soon?”
Li Guanfeng nodded. “Xiaowu, be good. You’ll be able to see your grandmother soon.”
Su Xiaowu obediently nestled in Li Guanfeng’s arms. She felt completely at ease leaning against her brother like this.
Li Guanfeng’s lips curled up slightly. Looking at the little girl nestled in his arms like a kitten, his heart softened. He said, “Xiaowu, tell me about your grandmother.”
Su Xiaowu smiled. “Sure.”
Her voice was soft and sweet. “Grandmother is the best person in the world. She’s the best to me. She will tell me many things. I don’t remember them, but I remember Grandmother. Grandmother’s arms are as warm and safe as yours.”
Su Xiaowu could not recall many things. Even if the missing soul had returned, she was still not as smart as an ordinary child. Her memories of the past were not clear, but when she thought of her grandmother, she had endless things to say.
Li Guanfeng’s eyes were gentle. He thought that she must be an excellent old lady. He had to thank her.
Regardless of whether she had done something bad or not, he had to thank her for protecting Xiaowu for so many years. If it weren’t for the fact Xiaowu was deceived and abandoned by some naughty children, she wouldn’t have been homeless for so long.
A dark look flashed across Li Guanfeng’s eyes. No matter what happened, he was willing to go against the entire world for Xiaowu. However, he was not strong enough. This was why he rushed over so quickly.
He only hoped that Liu Sanniang would be a little slower. At least, he had to let Xiaowu reunite with her grandmother.
Li Guanfeng couldn’t help but urge Ligui and Liming to go faster.
——
When Liu Sanniang returned from the county office, she saw Chu Yan at her door.
When she approached him, Chu Yan handed the paper bag to her.
When Liu Sanniang smelled the fragrance, she asked. “What is this?”
What kind of delicious food was it?
Chu Yan smiled warmly. “It’s the rabbit’s favorite food.”
Her face immediately turned red. Liu Sanniang knew that the rabbit Chu Yan was talking about was her.
Just as Liu Sanniang was about to tell Chu Yan about going to Chuzhou, he held her hand and squeezed her palm. “When are we leaving?”
Liu Sanniang was stunned. “How do you know everything?”
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes. “Yes.”
Liu Sanniang glared at Chu Yan. What kind of an answer was yes?
Chu Yan smiled and leaned over to kiss her lips.
Liu Sanniang was caught off guard.
Chu Yan released her and turned to leave.
Liu Sanniang clenched the paper bag tightly with a blush on her cheeks.
When she entered the house, she opened the paper bag and took a look. It was the crispy snack that she liked to eat.
At night, Liu Sanniang told Madam Wei and Mr. Liu that she was going to Chuzhou. Madam Wei and Mr. Liu did not object and only asked her to take good care of herself.
As long as Chu Yan went with her, Madam Wei would not be worried.
However, remembering that Liu Dalang was about to get married, Madam Wei asked. “Are you coming back for Dalang’s wedding?”
Liu Dalang also looked at Liu Sanniang. He knew that Liu Sanniang had a lot to do, but he still hoped that she would come back in time to witness his wedding.
Liu Sanniang nodded. “I’ll be back.”
Her brother was getting married, so she naturally couldn’t miss it.
Liu Dalang smiled. “Take good care of yourself outside.”
Liu Erlang asked her happily. “Are you taking General Black?”
Liu Sanniang shook her head. “I won’t take it along this time.”
Liu Erlang’s eyes lit up. “Then don’t worry. I like General Black the most. I’ll definitely take good care of it for you.”
He really liked General Black. Who wouldn’t like such a big dog that was handsome and obedient?
