Chapter 1301: Chapter 1123 Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

But the gloom would eventually pass, and life had to go on; these were other people’s family matters and he couldn’t possibly take care of them.

Having confirmed that Nan Feng wouldn’t return to Daping Village, Ye Ge finally returned to Dragon Tooth Gang.

This was probably the first time Long San had not completed a task entrusted to him by Ye Ge. He expressed deep apologies, for Nan Feng was still nowhere to be found.

Ye Ge had nothing much to say anymore, he could only continue the search alone.

Later, Ye Ge made a trip up north.

Although Nan Feng had mentioned places with mountains and waters, which definitely were not in the north, he still wanted to try his luck, and took the opportunity to visit Song Cheng.

After occupying Dashun, Song Cheng had taken charge of a prefecture there and was naturally very busy. Ye Ge didn’t want to disturb him too much, so they just had a pot of tea together at the Tea House.

Song Cheng told Ye Ge that he had heard the news of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s crown prince’s death due to a recurrence of his old illness, and thought that Ye Ge had truly left, which had saddened him deeply for a while.

The death of the Great Zhou crown prince was news released by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

One could imagine how disappointed he was in Ye Ge, wishing he had never had this son in the first place.

Ye Ge gave a bitter smile, "Perhaps, I really have broken their hearts after all, but that was not the life I wanted. Moreover, they couldn’t accept Nan Feng. In that environment, I could only marry the person they hoped I would marry, and this, I simply couldn’t do."

Song Cheng couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Then, if you had never met Nan Feng, would you have followed your father’s and mother’s wishes and become an emperor above ten thousand people?"

Sipping his tea, Ye Ge took a long while before saying, "Life originally has no ’what ifs’. I still hope I could have met Nan Feng, especially after experiencing so much, a return to simplicity is the life I desire."

...

From the north all the way south to Fu Prefecture, Ye Ge returned to the Dragon Tooth Gang, where he took a few carrier pigeons from the gang, saying that if he found Nan Feng, he would contact him immediately.

However, on his way out from the Dragon Tooth Gang, Ye Ge was unexpectedly stopped by someone.

It was a young man, and it took Ye Ge a while to recognize him as Sima Guang.

"Guangguang? You’ve grown so tall after more than two years?" Ye Ge remarked.

Sima Guangguang had completed his studies at the Academy and was planning to study in the Capital City for a period before facing the upcoming imperial examination. He had not expected to meet Ye Ge the day before his departure.

Sima Guangguang had now become a graceful and talented young man with a distinguished air.

He first greeted Ye Ge with a bow, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then began to ask about Nan Feng, "Is Nan Feng still doing well with you? It’s been a long time since I heard from her. I miss her very much."

Ye Ge gave a bitter smile: "I have done some things that let her down, and she has gone away from me. To this day, I still haven’t found her."

"Gone away?" Sima Guangguang was surprised too: "Did she not say where she was going?"

"She only said she wanted to retire to a scenic place with mountains and waters, as to where she went, I am ashamed to say, I do not know," Ye Ge said, his eyes revealing a sense of sorrow after months of searching.

Sima Guangguang sadly shook his head: "Nan Feng is a person of strong feelings, and she is resolute and decisive in her actions. Once she says she will go, she will definitely leave. However, where exactly did she go?"

Ye Ge simply said, "No matter where she has gone, I will find her, even if it takes the rest of my life."
