Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Past Is Like Smoke

Ah Qi helped Yu Yao to the bed, took a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the wine stains on her hands.

"Ah Qi... Go back to sleep......" Yu Yao muttered a few words and fell asleep.

The dream came like a tide, and Yu Yao seemed to resist a little, but she was still wrapped in the dream and couldn't extricate herself.

Ah Qi extinguished the candle and did not leave, and the moonlight outside the window was projected in, bright. He sat softly on the edge of her bed, silently watching her.

...

"Drumming!" the High Priest shouted, and the deafening sound of drums soared into the sky.

"Emperor Wa, please!" a huge stone statue of Nuwa was lifted from the red curtain and appeared in front of the crowd, and all the subjects knelt down in prayer.

"Welcome young master!" the high priest tossed the blue guide totem paper in his hand into the air, and fluttered with the breeze.

Amid the shouts of thousands of people under the altar, twelve-year-old Yu Yao wore a dark blue gold-rimmed gown, the heavy tones and an eight-tailed phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the hem of the dress contrasted sharply with her immature face. But her eyes were unusually firm, and there was no timidity at all.

She slowly walked up to the altar holding a divine seal engraved with the blue emblem symbolizing the supreme power of the blue race, and slowly knelt in front of the high priest. often practiced martial arts, and her limbs were injured, so that her hands holding the heavy divine seal trembled slightly, and it was reasonable to say that she was nervous.

"Liuli Realm, the spring of the four hundred and twenty-seventh year of the Yan Dynasty. Yu Yao, the eldest daughter of the Yu family of the Lan family, adheres to the grace of God, is gifted and intelligent, does not exceed the courtesy, and has a soft temperament. Now by the order of Emperor Yan, he is named the young master of the Lan clan, given the family name, entered into the annals of history, awarded the divine seal, and is bowed by all the subjects!"

The high priest praised loudly word by word, and he grovelled to take down a thick book held in the hand of the statue of Nuwa, and wrote the three words "Lan Yuyao" on the book with a brush dipped in a special potion.

Yu Yao's eyes were solemn, she knew what the name Lan Yuyao meant, and from this moment on, she would carry the burden of the entire family. She watched as tens of thousands of people of the Lan clan bowed down to her, and raised the seal of the young master of the Lan clan in her hand.

"I, Lan Yuyao, am bound to guard the glory of the Lan Clan for a hundred years!"

The father nodded approvingly, and the clansmen cheered excitedly, all affirming everything about Yu Yao. is so outstanding, only she knows how much she has suffered and how many sins she has suffered. But with so many people supporting her, she felt that the thousands of hardships she had paid were worth it!

Dream jumping.

Fifteen years old is the age when love is beginning to open, Yu Yao studies and learns martial arts every day, and follows her father to learn to be in charge of family affairs, so it is inevitable to play a child's temper. At this time, Yan Cang would always come to her on a black horse with a white birthmark on his buttocks, and every time she saw that horse, she would always smile happily.

Yan Cang just looked at her with a faint smile and never spoke.

Yan Cang was canonized as the Young Emperor Ceremony, and she thought about going to the old man of Tianji to ask for a pot of flower field brew to give to Yan Cang, which was regarded as a congratulatory gift. But he found a dying man at the door of the old man's house.

With compassion, Yu Yao saved this strangely dressed man with a delicate face. She took him to the ghost doctor's medical hall, coaxed with good words, and waited for gold, silver and jade, which allowed the old antique ghost doctor to save this mortal.

He said that his name was Ah Guang, and even his name was so strange!

He behaves strangely and has novel ideas, he will pick bouquets of flowers for her, he will tell her bizarre and interesting stories that he has never heard before, and he will sing many novel songs like sugar and honey for her, careful and considerate, tender and watery.

Therefore, in order to prevent others from discovering his identity, Yu Yao built a courtyard for him in Liulize. She suddenly thought that the two of them would always be together, and her face was red and hot. She began to have her own little secrets, she began to think about how to introduce him to her father, she thought about whether Yuxin could be qualified for the position of young master, she thought about the future, the glory of the family or something, almost left behind.

originally thought that the water in the glass world would make him forget the past and forget the person in his heart.

But I didn't expect that obsession to be unforgettable.

"Yuyao, I want to go back. I can't forget, my wife is waiting for me, I can't cheat on your feelings. The seriousness on his face frightened her. She thought that when he looked at himself and smiled, when he hugged himself, he had her in his heart. But he didn't want this feeling to be irrigated by kindness and nurtured into seedlings, he didn't accept it.

"Okay! I'll get ready. He turned around and soaked his clothes with tears. She didn't have the courage to ask why she already had a wife, and why she was so tender and sweet to her, that she almost promised her life, and she was even ready to give up everything.

No wonder he never made an oath, no wonder he was always preoccupied but always refused to say it, no wonder his intimacy with her was limited to embracing her. said that it was envy or jealousy, Yu Yao couldn't say clearly, but she was hurt at the beginning of her love, she stayed awake all night for many nights, crying and her eyes were red.

The kind-hearted Yu Yao even thought about continuing to pay for him, she couldn't watch him suffer every day, it was just fulfillment, she believed that she could do it.

The ancient parchment book had a way to record how to go back to another world, so she deceived Yan Cang and sneaked into the treasury to check it. But her crying red eyes couldn't hide it.

She swam across the Peach Blossom River, climbed over the Dragon Cutting Stream, crossed the vast West Sea, jumped down the thousand-year-old cold pool in the polar glacier to obtain the Yin Stone, and then passed through the Sword Forest, climbed the Dao Warrior Mountain, and obtained the Yang Stone in the lava cave.

Scarred and full of thorns, he just wanted to send the man back to his wife.

When she saw him lying covered in blood at the feet of the same blood-stained Yan Cang, her heart was filled with anger.

That was the first time she had faced Yan Cang's sword.

She swung her long sword with brute force, and slashed at Yan Cang with a fatal move. And Yan Cang just defended repeatedly, his eyes were cold, and this woman's behavior seemed to him to be crazy. She was covered in scars, her steps were staggering, Yan Cang couldn't bear it, turned behind her, and slashed Yu Yao unconscious with a hand knife.

The dream turns again.

Yan Cang sat on the edge of her bed and waited for her to wake up. "You've finally woken up, how are you feeling, is there anything wrong? I'm going to call the doctor!"

"Is he dead or alive?" Yu Yao grabbed Yan Cang's arm fiercely, her cold eyes without any emotion.

Yan Cang looked at Yu Yao in a daze, not thinking that the first thing she thought of when she woke up was that person. Her eyes were so cold, of course, she regarded herself as an enemy with a deep hatred of blood.

"Look at what you look like now?" Yan Cang couldn't help but yell.

"Is he dead or alive?" asked Yu Yao again, the tears in her eyes kept rolling, and her tone was still stubborn.

Yan Cang heard his voice trembling, but he still said unwillingly, word by word: "Have you seen me?

Yu Yao found Yan Cang's bloodstained appearance at this time, she thought that every time this young man appeared when she was unhappy, he silently accompanied her, his horse was called Xiaobai, he said, "You like, how about I give it to you?"

"I don't want it!, it's more fun for you to ride it!" Yu Yao always replied to him like before.

And Yan Cang in front of him shouted angrily at himself, and there seemed to be a crystal falling in his red eyes. The blood on his body was bright red, indicating that he was still bleeding from wounds. He had the noblest bloodline in the entire Yan Dynasty, but he stood in front of him in such an embarrassed manner, and that voice with a complaining question made Yu Yao's heart tremble.

There was a trace of reluctance in Yu Yao's eyes, but she still asked the question: "Please, is he still alive?"

As long as he is alive, it doesn't matter where he is, it doesn't matter who he's with, the important thing is that he's alive and can smile and breathe, sing and run.

Yan Cang was completely furious, he shook off Yu Yao's hand suddenly, and his voice was as cold as ice. "Treat him as if he were dead! Your father is about to fall ill with anger, and the people are angry with you, and the other Lan clan members are waiting for you to show their feet so that they can replace you. You can ignore your own life or death, do you want thousands of lives of the Yu family to be slaughtered for you?" he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Her father's accusations and the contempt of her relatives were all borne by her.

Or he is unwilling, or he just wants to know the life and death of his person. She has overcome obstacles many times, wanting to open the door to another world, one glance is enough, just one look.

Yan Cang gave a death order, and sent his Eagle Guard and the 501st Iron Cavalry Shadow Guard to guard the Heavenly Machine Day and Night.

Sometimes, Yu Yao will also be alone in a daze, she looks at the orderly things around her, and she even wonders if that person's things are all big dreams. After the first taste of love, she turned out to be like an old man who saw through the red dust, and her feelings were barren. She knew that she had no interest in it.

Before the flower, Yu Yao often drank alone and burst into tears.

Feeling someone caressing her face, Yu Yao woke up, she quickly sat up and asked, "Who?"

After his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw Ah Qi sitting on the edge of her bed, his hands still stained with her tears.

"Why are you here?" Yu Yao was a little flustered and hurriedly wiped away her tears.

"I was passing by and heard your voice come in and take a look. Is it a nightmare?" Ah Qi looked at her, his words full of concern. He watched her brow furrowed, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't help but wipe it away for her, but it woke her up.

Yu Yao was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "I'm fine." Looking out the window, the sky was already slightly white. There are two or three clouds that have gradually become red, and the colors are vivid.

Ah Qi stood up straight, "Ah Qu is already preparing breakfast, I'll help her." You drank so much wine last night, I'll go cook you some porridge. After saying that, he walked out of the room, his back slightly lonely.

Yu Yao looked at Ah Qi's departing back, and a strange feeling rose in her heart. This Ah Qi, when did his personality start to become so stuffy?

There was no rain today, but the wind was very strong and the weather was getting colder. Yu Yao thought, it is already the beginning of October, if this trip is unimpeded, I think I can go home for a good year.
