Chapter 581: Chapter 579: You are Yaoyao_1

Hailey’s body suddenly stiffened, and then he forced a dry laugh as he looked at Na Ersi, "Hehehe... Uncle Si..."

"The Third Elder is your grandfather..." Na Ersi looked at him and added.

"Yes, yes..." Hailey couldn’t help but nod incessantly.

"Indeed, you are quite the likeness..."

Upon hearing Na Ersi’s comment, the smile at the corner of Hailey’s mouth suddenly froze. It was the comment he heard most often, and also the one he liked least.

But this time he had to listen, and he even had to pretend to be pleased, "Is that so? Uncle Si, everyone says the same..."

Na Ersi smiled and nodded, then said no more.

Hailey had initially wanted to cozy up to Mu Zisu further, but just as he was about to do so, the music sounded, and he abruptly sat back down in his original spot.

Above the Altar, a person clad in bizarre garments stepped forward.

The scene instantly quieted down, everyone’s gaze fixated on that person without any movement.

Mu Zisu couldn’t help but focus his eyes on that person; it was a woman in her forties with a solemn expression. She didn’t tarry after ascending the stage and turned to face in front of the Altar.

At that moment, all those seated stood up, and Mu Zisu, observing the situation, also rose to his feet.

It was only today that Mu Zisu truly appreciated the grandeur of the foreign tribe’s ceremony.

After the person on the stage turned and chanted two lines, everyone sat down again. As for what was chanted, Mu Zisu didn’t understand.

While he was frowning and searching for that familiar figure, the ancient and ethereal music sounded once again, and several figures appeared on the circular Altar along with the music.

There were six women, dressed in complex and resplendent attire, vibrant and colorful, especially the woman in red leading the group, whose graceful figure danced lightly with the music, floating like a butterfly ready to take flight.

Mu Zisu’s gaze abruptly stilled, his mind instantly captivated by that figure.

His heart began to beat, to tremble, his hands started to slightly clench.

In his heart, he silently chanted: Xiaoxiao...

Though he hadn’t seen her face, he recognized her in a glance; it was Xiaoxiao, the one he longed for...

Finally, as the dance moves changed, the woman in red suddenly turned to the side, showing a smile to those below the stage...

Mu Zisu’s pupils suddenly contracted, his heart trembled—

Bright eyes, white teeth, sculpted eyebrows like a painting, her pure and unsullied face made her seem like an ethereal sprite dropped into the mortal realm.

A breathtaking smile finally formed on the lips of Mu Zisu, she was still alive, she truly was still alive...

On the side, Na Ersi couldn’t help but speak out, "I wasn’t lying to you, she’s fine..."

When Mu Zisu heard Na Ersi’s words, a sudden pain struck his heart; he knew the meaning behind those words...

She’s fine, he lets go...

But letting go was so difficult for him...

"Yaoyao... Xiaoxiao is no longer the Xiaoxiao you knew..." Na Ersi sighed helplessly.

Mu Zisu suddenly turned his face to look at him, his voice trembling: "What do you mean?"

Na Ersi lifted his gaze to the joyfully dancing figure on the stage, then spoke: "Do you think she is happy now?"

Mu Zisu’s heart clenched, and as he watched the figure in red dance away, his throat choked up with emotion.

She was happy...

The clarity in her eyes grew even clearer, without a trace of impurity.

The smile at the corner of her lips shone brighter, dazzling and brilliant.

Her smile was like a blossoming flower as her gaze drifted past him without lingering...

Mu Zisu’s heart plummeted into an abyss...

"She has already restarted her own life..."

Na Ersi’s words rang in Mu Zisu’s ears, but he felt the world lose its color once again, as something slowly drifted away from him...

Hope followed by disappointment is despair...

His mind in a haze, he watched the red figure fade away with the five others. He wanted to call out to her, but the words wouldn’t come.

He didn’t know what activities were resuming around him; he didn’t know how he followed Na Ersi back to the residence, until...

"Father..." Na Ersi, standing beside him, was suddenly embraced. A red figure burst into his field of vision.

His soul snapped back into place, and he stared at the red figure, his heart trembling violently...

"Xiaoxiao... The dance you performed today was beautiful..." Na Ersi chuckled softly.

"Really?"

"Yes, really..."

Na Xiaoxiao suddenly squinted her eyes and burst into joyful laughter, her laughter chiming like a string of delightful silver bells, melodious and pleasant...

Yet at this moment, it only intensified the pain in Mu Zisu’s heart...

Only then did Na Xiaoxiao turn her curious gaze to the stiff Mu Zisu beside her.

Mu Zisu looked into her eyes, clear as water, and felt a sharp pain...

Na Xiaoxiao looked at him and suddenly furrowed her brows in confusion, "Have I... seen you somewhere before?"

Mu Zisu’s heart leaped, his pupils dilating to their fullest...

Before the joy in his eyes could surface, Na Xiaoxiao suddenly slapped her forehead...

Then, with excitement, she pointed at Mu Zisu, "I know now, you’re Yaoyao!"

A burst of ecstasy appeared in Mu Zisu’s eyes.

"You are the Yaoyao who is a twin with Shanshan, right?" Na Xiaoxiao said with a look of certainty.

"Yes... he is Yaoyao, who came with me to take a look..." Na Ersi replied nonchalantly.

"That’s great, I’ve been feeling bored these past few days..." Na Xiaoxiao said, then turned to look at the silent Mu Zisu who had been staring at her.

"What’s... wrong with you?" Na Xiaoxiao asked, sensing something was off with Mu Zisu.

It was then that Mu Zisu realized why only he could come, why he was told in advance that no matter what happened, he must not reveal his emotions...

It turned out... it was all because she had forgotten him...

She remembered everyone else, but had forgotten him...

"Xiaoxiao... go change your clothes first, Father and Yaoyao will wait for you in the garden..." Na Ersi said gently to Na Xiaoxiao.

Frowning, Na Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Zisu, then uttered an "Oh" and turned to leave.

When Na Xiaoxiao’s figure disappeared from sight once more, Mu Zisu finally turned his gaze to Na Ersi.

"Why is it like this?" His voice was faint and light yet full of questioning.

Why had everyone remembered but forgotten only him...

Na Ersi sighed, "Yaoyao... if the price of saving her was her forgetting you, would you agree to save her?"

The words made Mu Zisu catch his breath. Would he agree to save her?

"You should know, at that time she had stopped breathing. To bring her back, the price was not just forgetting you, there were other things..." Na Ersi said helplessly as he looked at the rigid Mu Zisu, continuing, "If it weren’t for Xiaoxiao’s heart being intact, if it weren’t for the Poisonous Insect within her, no matter the cost, it would have been useless..."
