Gao Ran followed Ye around the house where the valley lord was, and walked along a deep and secluded path all the way to the depths of the dense forest in the back mountain.

While walking, Ye Huan seemed to be telling Gao Ran and as if she was telling herself, and said a sentence that seemed to arise spontaneously because of the scene: "This road is still the same as before...... Or is it just the two of them who will come......"

Hearing this, Gao Ran immediately subconsciously lowered his head to take a closer look at the road under her feet, and then he really found out: it turned out that in addition to the new footprints added by the two of them, the new fresh footprints on them were only left by two adult men! Moreover, it was obvious that they had not come here much earlier than them......

Needless to say, those two must be Zhao Yi and Zhao Feng!

"Uncle Shi, this shouldn't be your secret base, right? If so, then isn't it appropriate for me to come with me uninvited?"

"Secret base? Heh, that's a funny description! But you don't have to shy away from it, they won't mind. Besides, you should know that I didn't just want to say goodbye to them......"

Gao Ran listened, and naturally understood what Ye meant. Originally, she just wanted to leave some private time for the three of them first, so that they could catch up and say goodbye well, but she didn't think that Ye didn't seem to have this "leisure and elegance...... In that case, it would be okay for her to follow!

But......

"Uncle and Auntie, can I ask you a question?" After being silent again for a while, Gao Ran inexplicably remembered the curiosity that she deliberately pressed down again.

But this time, when she remembered it again, it was hard to ignore the intense curiosity!

So, she had no choice but to be a little noncommittal, but she still asked, "Uncle Shi, do you hate Uncle Junior? But if you hate, why are you still willing to accept me calling you like that? You can actually ask me to call you 'Second Uncle......' instead."

Being asked by Gao Ran for a sudden and unexplained reason, Ye Xian didn't react, how could she suddenly have such doubts, but then, she remembered how much she had learned from Gao Ran's words and deeds about her sensitivity before, and her doubts were no longer strange. And just sighed earnestly: "Alas, you girl is really delicate! But she is too thoughtful! So, no wonder your illness is so difficult to heal......

Gao Ran was not surprised that Ye Jing could see the rough condition of her condition at a glance, since Ye Lian could deliberately change such a good medical skill with the strange fragrance on her body, it was naturally not surprising that she could see Gao Ran's general condition at a glance without diagnosing her pulse!

"Oh, Uncle Master, why do you tease me so much? It's not that you don't know that my overthinking is not a question of whether I want to or not, but that I have to do this! Otherwise, I am afraid that I would not have lived to this day a long time ago. None of us are much better than anyone, and it's not interesting for anyone to 'joke' anyone, right?"

The implication of Gao Ran's words is clearly to point out: she doesn't accept Ye's sigh, and even thinks that Ye and her are actually just "half a catty" to "eight taels", so she naturally has no qualifications to say that she is like this!

"Oh, you girl is funny! What she says and thinks is not what a 'child' of your age should have......"

"Heh, each other, isn't it the same with my uncle and aunt?

"If you were really as innocent as an ordinary woman of your age back then, then after you suffered such a great change, I am afraid that you would not be able to understand the good intentions of the valley lord for you, let alone care about the survival of the medical valley, so you acted rashly and privately, in a vain attempt to kill the banana emperor by your own strength!

"Of course, if you were really so reckless back then, then even if the valley master could still keep you, then Gao Liwen would definitely not have bothered to protect you so far!

"And the reason why he takes such a fancy to you is that he can not only see that you do have the ability to kill the Banana Emperor at the right time and in a way that is beneficial to him, but also because of that incident, he can see the close connection between you and the two most promising candidates for becoming the next valley master in the Medical Valley!

"Moreover, whether the master or the little uncle will become the next valley master in the future, according to Gao Liwen's original plan...... I think that if I hadn't suddenly intervened in this, I am afraid that only you can really affect them in this world! Just like the discord between the two of them back then was also caused by you!

"However, it is precisely because of this that I am even more curious, how can you not hate Uncle Xiaoshi?

"Even though he cast a spell on you at the beginning and stood by afterwards, he just gave the Banana Emperor a 'suitable' excuse and helped him successfully eradicate your parents, not that he killed your parents directly...... But after all, if it wasn't for Uncle Xiaoshi, the doomed disaster would not have come so early...... And even if you don't get Master's consent, at least, you won't be separated from each other and never seen each other again......"

Hearing this, Ye Bujue stopped, as if she was thinking about Gao Ran's question, and as if she was sorting out her emotions that Gao Ran didn't know at the moment.

But she didn't stop for long, and before Gao Ran could catch up with her and parallel her, she continued to walk again, so that the distance between the two of them returned to the previous one, about two or three steps away, so that Gao Ran could only continue to look at her, and could not see the emotions she might have, but did not show obviously......

After Gao Ran finished speaking, the two were silent again for a long time, and Ye Cai spoke: "Ran'er, when you have nothing to love and only want revenge, will you have the extra energy to think about these children's love...... Those feelings will only be forgotten with the passage of time. Those memories, even if they are remembered by chance, will only make you ashamed of how ignorant and naïve you were in the first place, and ridiculous! But at the same time, they will make you feel how precious it is that you used to be the self-deceived and blind to the truth......

"Self-deception? So, at the beginning, Uncle Shi actually knew that the Jiaohuang had murderous intentions against your parents and clans?

"Well, though, you can't be blamed for that...... If I were your age, and I had never experienced any real 'undercurrent fighting' like you, then I would probably be like you, naively thinking that my ominous premonition was just my own unfounded worries, and most likely I would have deceived myself into thinking that 'that day' would never come! As long as 'our side' does not take the initiative to provoke ......."

Hearing Gao Ran say this, Ye fell silent again, and after a long while, she half-jokingly said, "Heh, you said earlier that you think we are actually the same kind of people...... Now it seems that what you said is really true!"

"Oh, that's it! The so-called things gather like and people gather in groups...... You see, even though you and I were originally separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and even decades apart, but now, aren't we still coming together? This is fate!"

"Fate?"

Ye thought about it, especially when she thought of what happened back then, who among them, Zhao Yi, Zhao Feng, and Gao Liwen would have thought that today, when she really wanted to launch a revenge operation, a little girl who was born many years after the events of that year would come here and help her?

Such a weirdness, such a complex entanglement of relationships between them that could not be foreseen, is not "fate", what is it?

"Yes, this is fate!" After thinking about it, Ye Ying also agreed with Gao Ran's statement, and he didn't realize that he had repeated it to himself. Then she stopped talking.

The two fell silent again.

However, although Ye never answered Gao Ran's question positively, Gao Ran had already experienced her general state of mind over the years from what she said, and naturally understood why she didn't hate Zhao Feng It's not that she doesn't hate, but that she no longer has the extra mental strength to hate.

And Zhao Feng's temperament, how could Ye, who grew up with him, not understand?

Therefore, when Zhao Feng really went to her after many years and asked her to fulfill her promise back then, Ye Ye could only agree to him in order to avoid extraneous branches. After all, he is really difficult to deal with, and she can't easily be his enemy! Moreover, she can't die yet! She can't die just because she broke the covenant of curse!

But obviously, Ye didn't seem to be aware of Zhao Feng's "abnormality" in his unusual attachment to her......

"Well, should we say that they are fans of the authorities? Or should we say that they really take all the 'weirdness' of the little uncle for granted?

"Tsk, what a sin...... And the evil fruit can only be tasted by themselves...... It's just that I don't know the consequences of such self-inflicted evil...... Is it really good?"

After Gao Ran secretly pondered in her heart, she had her own answer: "No! It doesn't matter to others, I can do it! I don't want to jump into it even though I know it's an 'abyss'! Anyway, if Uncle Xiao can't be 'tamed' by me in the end, then I'd rather die than become another 'substitute' for him! I don't want to repeat their old ways!"
