Chapter 79: Chapter 79: We Will Meet Again

Shang Ruyi was stunned—What, is there a problem?

Facing her slightly puzzled gaze, Xiao Yuansui’s eyes appeared much deeper.

Ever since he participated in the rebellion, faced military defeat and loss of power, and was cast adrift, he was confronted daily with the court’s pursuit and endless fear. Even those who were once close to him now avoid him like the plague, let alone those instances where he tried to take refuge with old acquaintances, only to be betrayed.

For a long, long time, he almost lost all sense of trust between people, or even some basic emotions.

Yet, this Young Madam Yu Wen, when speaking with him, although she wasn’t particularly polite, still managed to express herself with simple, direct emotions, even saying "please" to him!

Her clear eyes seemed to know nothing about anything.

Xiao Yuansui let out a light laugh and shook his head gently, indicating no issue.

He solemnly accepted the package of dry food Shang Ruyi handed over and said, "Thank you."

Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and then said softly, "Young Master Xiao, the entire land under heaven belongs to the king. There’s naturally no place for you to stay—so, take care of yourself."

"...!"

Xiao Yuansui’s eyes lit up.

He said, "I understand, Young Madam, please take care as well."

After speaking, he added another sentence, "We will meet again."

Then, he turned and walked away.

Soon, that tall figure disappeared into the deep night, and Shang Ruyi stood in place, watching his silhouette disappear before turning around.

Upon turning around, she met Yu Wenye’s deep-set eyes, watching her intensely through the flames.

Shang Ruyi was surprised, "What’s wrong?"

Although Yu Wenye had said they had no "kindness of assistance" with Xiao Yuansui, it was just a pack of dry food, it seemed unlikely to cause any trouble.

Yu Wenye did not speak, only lowering his head, using a stick to poke the campfire.

Shang Ruyi walked over, sat next to him, and decided to seriously explain, "I know you don’t want to have too much contact to avoid trouble. The pack of dry food is nameless and faceless, it won’t bring any issues to us once it’s eaten."

"..."

"I’m just thinking that in today’s world, forming good karma is always a good thing."

"..."

"This Xiao Yuansui, his journey may not end here."

She babbled on, but Yu Wenye remained silent, without uttering a word. After a long while, he suddenly said, "Where’s your earring?"

"Ah?"

The sudden question made Shang Ruyi dazed, unconsciously reaching to touch her earlobe.

The earring on her left ear had vanished without her realizing it.

"Oh no!"

She exclaimed lightly, "How did it disappear? It must have fallen off when I moved too much while fighting... Dropped inside the carriage or outside? If it was inside, I would have seen it just now, but if outside, we’ve already walked so far, it might be hard to find."

At this point, she felt both regret and relief, "Luckily, the ones that my mother gave me, I couldn’t bear to wear and kept them safe. If it was one of them missing, I would’ve insisted on going back to find it today."

"..."

Yu Wenye watched her rambling, somehow feeling speechless.

After a while, he sighed and lowered his head.

Shang Ruyi looked at him and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Yu Wenye, with a wooden expression, replied, "Nothing."

As he said this, he suddenly looked sharply towards the carriage in front and his face darkened, "What are you doing?!"
