322. Obey the Mandate of Heaven (5)
Although before this, Gao Ran didn't realize that after she and Ji Muqing both took the Tongxin Gu, she took it for granted that the trust relationship between them should be established immediately, in fact, before that, Ji Muqing didn't think so.
But after he went through this this time, when he once again regained his usual attitude towards her as before, and even more presumptuous than in the past - his attitude changed, Gao Ran saw it all, and only then did he really realize that there had always been such a big misunderstanding between them, and she was unaware of it!
It wasn't until she realized this that Gao Ran really understood why she had never been able to see through Ji Muqing's true thoughts: just because she had set a wrong premise from the beginning, and wishful thinking that they both understood their current relationship equally. But it turned out that this was the biggest misunderstanding between them.
However, now that this misunderstanding has been resolved, Gao Ran's doubts and Ji Muqing's mustard have lifted the biggest misunderstanding deviation from the root at the same time, and each other's knots can be regarded as basically untied.
It's just that although this is also a good thing, because of the unexpected interference of this unexpected situation, Gao Ran missed the best opportunity to tell Ji Muqing what she was still hesitating about before.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings between each other due to doing inappropriate things at an inappropriate time, Gao Ran decided to find another suitable time another day, and then inform him of the fact that he was still hesitant to remind him. - If that's necessary. - After all, even if it was said, it was only to prepare for the worst-case scenario, but the probability of that happening seems to be very low at the moment. But that's just for now......
But this does not prevent Gao Ran from still having a trace of luck, which makes her still think: Let's wait for a suitable time in the future.
And now, she only plans to leave for Yunxiang immediately after she completely finishes Ye Yu's matter.
ββ
At that meeting, Zhao Feng reversed his attitude of not being present at the last meeting from the beginning, and never showed up. It seems that since he handed over Ye Yu's body to Gao Ran, he no longer cared about this matter, and even disappeared quickly after that.
But after missing for two days and two nights for no reason, on the third day, he suddenly appeared in front of a small flower garden specially reclaimed for Ye Yu in the depths of an inaccessible mountain forest near the Ye family's former residence.
At that time, Gao Ran had just finished it. And when she felt that someone suddenly appeared behind her and immediately turned to look, she realized that it was Zhao Feng. I couldn't help but be a little amazed that he pinched the hour so accurately.
However, since he was able to come so calmly, presumably Ji Muqing's disposal of Ye Yu's body after leaving should be quite satisfactory to him, and he would come back obediently at this time, instead of going behind her back to cause trouble for her.
"I'm leaving for Yunxiang tomorrow, what are your plans for the future?"
Zhao Feng first walked to the flower garden in silence, looked at the seedlings planted in the small piece of freshly renovated soil that were originally unique to the Medicine Valley, and then was silent for a while before he said meaningfully to Gao Ran:
"The name 'Ziyou' is said to have been taken by the ancestors of the founding school, which means the near-sound 'Ziyou' - 'Comfortable and Leisurely', but I think that the use of 'Ziyou' can better set off the unique beauty of this flower, and it happens to be a purple ......."
Speaking of this, Zhao Feng smiled unconsciously and began to immerse himself in his memories......
He continued: "She said that she liked the appearance of this flower, the fragrance of this flower, the meaning of this flower, and she felt that this flower was her kind, but in this life she was born as a 'person' and they became 'flowers'. But the first time she saw them, she recognized them, and they recognized her. She used to say that she could communicate with them because they were of the same kind......"
"I understand. β
Gao Ran's soft response, but instead inadvertently interrupted the continuation of the past memories that Zhao Feng was immersed in. But he still heard her words, and he listened to them in his heart. He believed that she did understand Ye Jue's mood, otherwise she would not have planted this flower seedling for her.
Zhao Feng looked at the flower seedlings, thought about it, and finally responded positively to Gao Ran: "These flower seedlings have never left the Medicine Valley before, and since you moved them here, you have never allowed them to really leave the soil from the Medicine Valley that you brought with them, and now, you transplanted them here, if you don't take good care of them for a year or two before someone who is familiar with their habits, then they will die soon, and they will not be able to really take root and grow here......
"So you mean, you decided to stay?"
"Go first, and I'll look for you in two years' time." β
"Hmm. Good. If I'm still alive in two years' time, come to me. β
"Oh, don't worry, you can't die. I won't let you die either. In the future, in addition to the people of the Heavenly Pavilion who will protect you, the forces under my command will also help you. But they will only save your life in times of crisis, and will not meddle in your grievances. β
"What? You, you still have your own power?"
Although Gao Ran was indeed surprised by this for a moment, but then she thought that Gao Liwen had always coveted Zhao Feng's power - at first, she thought that Gao Liwen valued Zhao Feng and was very likely to become the next Valley Master of the Medical Valley, so she would be so obsessed with him, but now even if the Valley Master has been succeeded by Zhao Yi, she can still sense that there is still a force that she can't find out the details and is always secretly tracking and monitoring Zhao Feng- It wasn't until this moment that Gao Ran really understood the reason: it turned out that what Gao Liwen really coveted was the power in Zhao Feng's hands. And that force may not necessarily be the key force that supports the Medical Valley, but it is definitely the kind of power that Gao Liwen needs most, otherwise he would not be so persistent.
But listening to Zhao Feng's meaning, it was obvious that he didn't want her to know what was so strange about that force, and he also made it clear to her that he would only save her life, and he didn't plan to meddle in anything else about her. In other words, as long as it is not life-threatening, then for Gao Ran, it makes no difference whether that mysterious force exists or not. - because she can't move, and she may not even see her face......
"Well, in that case, then I can go on the road with peace of mind, and then I'll wait for you to find me in two years. Uncle Junior, then we will have a meeting later. Take care. β
After speaking, Gao Ran left without any nostalgia.
ββ
Early the next morning, Gao Ran rode alone to the town where he had been separated from Gao Xi, intending to reunite with him there, and then return to Yunxiang with the forces he had cultivated.
Of course, this time they can no longer act together as before, but must be high in the light and high in the dark. If necessary, Gao Xi will also cooperate with the forces on the side of the Heavenly Pavilion that came with her this time, who are also secretly protecting her. This is not difficult for Gao Xi, and the Heavenly Pavilion has already acquiesced to his power to temporarily mobilize the power of any branch in the Pavilion at will, even if he did not specifically show the "black jade" that Gao Ran gave him.
I thought that she set off so early and didn't tell anyone other than Zhao Feng the specific date of her departure, and although she was still dressed as a man, she no longer covered up the strange fragrance on her body. In this way, even if she encounters an accident in the future that Gao Xi and Tiange can't help in time, she can also make the fellow disciples of the Medical Valley, especially the mysterious force that Zhao Feng promised to save her from danger (Gao Ran has a hunch that the force mentioned by Zhao Feng should be the disciples of the Medical Valley.) It's just that unlike the other disciples, although they are not Zhao Feng's apprentices, at most they are just his fellow disciples, but they will listen to himβalthough she doesn't know the real reason for this, it can be imagined that most of it is related to the secret of the Medicine Valley itself)βby identifying the strange fragrance on her body, she was able to accurately find her by following the smell.
Moreover, although her internal strength cannot be used casually unless it is absolutely necessary, if it is really in danger, if she still has the strength to spare, then she can also use her messenger to instantly send her distress signal to the nearest fellow door to her, and Zhao Feng and Zhao Yi, whom she will definitely designate at that time, at the same time, and let them know her exact location in an instant according to this sense. In this way, it is only a question of which side of the same door arrives in less time than the medical valley is concerned.
No matter how bad it is, she still has this last choice. Therefore, as long as she can carry it to the same door to rescue, then even if she encounters great danger, she will eventually be able to save the day and survive in the end.
- Thinking like this, Gao Ran naturally thought that her journey should be smooth on the whole.
But she didn't want to just go out of the city gate, she first encountered Dong Tianyi's sudden appearance, which directly blocked her way.
"Well, after all, you've seen my man's appearance, so I can understand you if you recognize me at a glance......" When thinking like this, Gao Ran didn't think about anything else, purely to smooth out the frustration caused by the fact that her disguise could be seen through so easily.
"How did you know I was here?"
Seeing that Dong Tianyi in front of him was so calm and relaxed, instead of blushing and angry, he knew that he obviously didn't just happen to be here and happened to see her, so he temporarily decided to hurry up and stop her, but he had been waiting for her around for a long time, so as soon as he saw her out of the city, he immediately stepped forward to block her way. - He clearly came prepared.
"Forget it, if you really want to know my whereabouts, then you will naturally have your own way, and your Dong family's intelligence network can't be underestimated...... Then you can just say it, what is the matter with me? I think, I shouldn't have anything to do with your Dong family, right? Or is it that I have inadvertently hindered you in something, and I don't know it?" Before Dong Tianyi could answer, Gao Ran took a step ahead of him to show that he was not interested in how he learned about her whereabouts, but in his intention to come here to intercept her.
"Ran'er!" Dong Tianyi was obviously a little displeased, "You know the purpose of my coming here, why do you have to say these words to hurt me?"
"Huh?"
In fact, Gao Ran really didn't expect Dong Tianyi to react like this. If he hadn't appeared so suddenly, she felt that after this period of busy aftermath, she really had almost forgotten the relationship between him and herself that had not really been cleared.
"Uh...... I'm sorry, but I'm not a roundworm in your belly and don't know you as well as you think...... Why don't you tell me directly, since you didn't come to me for the Dong family's business, then why did you come?"
At this moment, not to mention taking into account Dong Tianyi's feelings, Gao Ran didn't even bother to think about what he might think - since it was just a private matter, he would say it if he wanted to, and he wouldn't bother to guess if he didn't say it. She was still in a hurry, and she didn't have the heart to deal with him.
"Ran'er, you hate me so much?"
"Ahh I have important things to do, and I don't want to delay for a moment, and I can't delay!"
Dong Tian looked at Gao Ran's eyes intently, and when he was sure that what she said just now was really the truth and that she really had no other thoughts about him, he had planned to make an oath with her before she left, but at this moment he no longer had any courage and confidence to speak.
But he forced himself to take a deep breath, and then he said with great restraint: "You have to come back alive." If you don't come back, I'll look for you at the ends of the earth. β
After speaking, he didn't wait for Gao Ran to express his position, passed by her directly, and went back to the city.
"Inexplicable...... Who do you think you are?"
Having said that, looking at Dong Tianyi's back that had already gone away, Gao Ran's heart was inexplicably panicked, and he always felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell where it was uncomfortable?
