Both worlds are like dreams

……

one day ago

Wei Yunzhou looked at Xue Huang, whose face was pale as hell. A trace of self-blame flashed across his dark eyes. "It was my fault that I failed to protect her. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would..."

"I didn't expect that you two would actually agree to such a dangerous sword competition." Rong Yu said seriously.

On his way to Beiling, he heard that a disciple of Guigu wanted to challenge the leader of Tianjian Sect, regardless of life or death, so he rushed to Shangyang City without delay. But he was still a step too late. He failed to stop them and witnessed their lives hanging by a thread. He should blame himself.

Wei Yunzhou remained silent.

"It is said that a gentleman will die for his friend. Are you doing this for Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin?" Rong Yu asked.

"It's for them, but not just for them." Wei Yunzhou said.

"I'm not surprised that Snow Phoenix has a warm heart and draws her sword to help the people she cares about. But it's you who is beyond my expectation."

Wei Yunzhou's expression was still indifferent, but if Mo Ruilin heard his words, he would be moved to tears. His brother Wei actually said such warm words. He said, "There are very few people in this world who I care about, and they are one of them."

Rong Yu was quite relieved. He didn't think Wei Yunzhou was cold-hearted, but he didn't expect that he would open his heart, accept the sincerity from others, and respond. He had too much burden in the past, which made him bury all his emotions in his heart, and almost turned himself into a stone. Now he is willing to open his heart and become a normal person. This is the most gratifying thing for him and his master.

"They are indeed gentlemen, worthy of close friendship."

Wei Yunzhou looked at him and said, "Brother, after Xue Huang's injury is healed, you can take her away."

"I'm afraid she doesn't want to go."

"This time, she has no say." Wei Yunzhou said firmly.

"Give her some time."

"I was against her staying from the beginning." Wei Yunzhou clenched his hands into fists. He should have firmly opposed it from the beginning, even if he had knocked her out and thrown her back. It would have been better than now. Since she came to Beiling, she has not had a peaceful day. She has encountered danger again and again, and her injuries have become more serious each time.

Now he almost lost his life. Wei Yunzhou clearly realized that if he continued like this, things would be out of his control.

"I know what you're worried about." Rong Yu said meaningfully.

When their eyes met, they understood each other tacitly.

"It is definitely not the right choice for her to stay here." Wei Yunzhou said. "She has listened to you the most since she was a child. You must take her away no matter what. Moreover, although she has changed her way of calling you Uncle Master over the years, in Master's heart, he has always wanted to entrust Xue Huang to you. It is most appropriate for you to protect her."

Rong Yu did not speak. He had always known that his master treated him as a disciple and a relative. He was also the future master of Guigu Valley and naturally his grandson-in-law. But in his heart, he treated Xuehuang as a relative as well, without any feelings between men and women. However, his master had raised him and taught him. If this was what his master wished, he would obey. But the premise was that Xuehuang was willing.

Wei Yunzhou looked at him seriously, "Brother, she is the only relative I have in the world. I ask you to protect her."

"Okay." Rong Yu nodded solemnly. He knew better than anyone that Xue Huang was not only Wei Yunzhou's only relative, but also the only light in his dark life, warming the last ray of warmth in his heart. It was her existence that gave him more people to care about, and prevented him from becoming a hateful tool for revenge.

"Thank you."

……

"Gu Qinglan seemed to have heard all these words. And you were so kind to Rong Yu, he might have misunderstood."

After listening to his description, Xue Huang felt a little confused and at a loss for a moment, "So, Brother Qinglan thought that I was going to leave Shangyang City and be with uncle, so he was unhappy?"

"Basically correct."

"Correct!" Xue Huang said angrily. "What a mess! When did grandpa say that he wanted uncle to be his grandson-in-law? Is he drunk? I'm going to pluck out all his beard when I get back! I really like uncle, but it's different from the way I like brother Qinglan. In my heart, he is a relative, just like my second uncle, third aunt, and junior master uncle."

"Don't get excited. You're injured."

Xue Huang covered her chest and frowned in pain, "It's all my fault, Second Uncle. If you want to chase me away, just chase me away. What nonsense are you talking about?"

"He's doing this for your own good." The young man sighed. "And he's right. Your grandfather really sees Rong Yu as more than just a disciple. He's been thinking this way since Rong Yu stayed by your side and took care of you when you were a child."

Xue Huang curled up in the quilt, hugged her knees and said, "Then if I explain it to Brother Qinglan, will he be happy?"

"The question is, are you really not going to leave?"

"If I leave, I won't be able to see Brother Qinglan often." Thinking of this, Xuehuang suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"Then are you staying here to fall in love with him and marry him?" the young man asked seriously.

Xue Huang thought about it seriously, "I like him, so naturally I want to be with him forever."

"What if I tell you that one day you will bring disaster to his family, will you still choose to stay?"

Xue Huang was stunned, and after a while she came to her senses, "What did you say?"

The young man sighed, "Have you ever thought about Xu Yao's identity, Wei Yunzhou's identity, and your own identity that you don't want to face? If all of this is exposed to the Beiling royal family one day, what will those who are tied to you face?"

Xue Huang was silent, her fingers tightly grasping the quilt, and after a long while she said, "I don't understand, why did it happen to me?"

"I don't want to be you either, but even if time goes back, some things will change, but some things will never change."

Xue Huang huddled silently in the quilt and closed her eyes. Although she did not quite understand what the boy said, she rarely disbelieved what he said over the years, because he was sometimes like an immortal who could predict the future. He knew a lot and could always make judgments in advance. So would what he said this time really happen?
