Both worlds are like dreams

After Xue Huang was rescued by Rong Yu, she was taken to the thatched hut where Gu Qinglan and the others were recuperating. However, her previous injuries had not healed, and she was injured again in this battle, so her recuperation was in vain.

After Rong Yu healed her, Luo Ning helped her deal with the wounds on her body and changed her into clean clothes, but she didn't wake up.

Mo Ruilin went to the Duke's Mansion to report that Gu Qinglan was safe, and then went into the palace to meet the emperor.

The remaining people were guarding the Snow Phoenix while recovering from their injuries.

She slept for half a day before opening her eyes. After making sure that she was still alive and seeing that Gu Qinglan and Wei Yunzhou were fine, she fell asleep again with peace of mind.

This time, I slept for a whole day and night before waking up.

Gu Qinglan had been standing by her side the whole time, so he noticed that she had woken up the first time. "You're awake!" He helped her up, "Are you feeling any worse?"

Xue Huang looked at him with worried eyes, her nose ached, and she almost cried, "I'm fine, how about you? Does the wound still hurt?"

"It's just a superficial wound, it's nothing serious." Gu Qinglan said with a smile.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so willful, you wouldn't have been hurt so badly."

"How can I blame you?" Gu Qinglan consoled. "If you hadn't gone deep into the tiger's den, we wouldn't have known that the Second Prince of Tianqi came here and colluded with Shen Congfeng and Mo Yunchen, and Tianqi's secret agents buried in Shangyang City wouldn't have been eliminated."

"Really? You don't have to comfort me."

"It's true," Gu Qinglan said with a smile, "Thanks to the glowing powder you sprinkled along the way, we were able to focus our attention on the southeast shore of Bi Bo Lake, and Brother Wei was able to find out where the Apocalypse spies and the Dark Moon Pavilion were hiding. We were also able to make arrangements in time to rescue you and Princess Xingyue."

"Where is Xingyue? Why can't I see her?" Xuehuang asked.

"She is still in Xuyao's hands."

"He won't let me go?"

Gu Qinglan shook his head, "This is a deal."

"What conditions did you promise him?"

"It's Brother Wei." Gu Qinglan said.

"What about Xingyue?" Xuehuang asked.

"The news of her kidnapping can no longer be concealed. Compared to Tianqi taking her away, it is the best outcome for Bei Ling for her to be taken away by Xuyao. And Brother Wei promised that Xuyao would never harm Princess Xingyue."

Xue Huang understood what he meant. Marrying with Tianqi would offend Xiyue, and marrying with Xiyue would offend Tianqi. And letting Beiling's enemies take the princess away would maintain this balance.

"So what conditions did my second uncle promise them?"

Gu Qinglan hesitated, "This..."

"You tell me!" Xue Huang came closer to him, "Don't lie to me."

Gu Qinglan looked at her face so close to him, feeling a little uncomfortable. "You should go ask Brother Wei. I'll find you something to eat." After saying that, he hurriedly got up and went out.

Xue Huang pinched her chin thoughtfully, then got out of bed and ran out the door.

Wei Yunzhou and Rong Yu were talking in the woods at this time.

"Actually, you don't need to use the power of Shanhe Gate. I can save her by myself." Rong Yu said.

Wei Yunzhou looked indifferent, but his words were filled with a hint of self-blame, "If I had sent them out earlier, she wouldn't have been hurt again."

"This matter has come to an end. When her injuries are healed, I will take her away. But," Rong Yu paused, "you will need to walk the road ahead alone."

Wei Yunzhou didn't say anything. He had already made up his mind. If the girl changed her mind, he would send her out of Shangyang City even if he had to tie her up. He would never indulge her to act recklessly. As for him, it didn't matter if he was alone or with someone else.

Xue Huang watched them talking, but couldn't hear them clearly, so she approached them lightly. However, before she got far, the next moment Wei Yunzhou's sword flew over and brushed her hair and pierced into a tree nearby. She immediately closed her eyes and shouted, "Second Uncle, it's me!"

Wei Yunzhou frowned slightly, walked over, drew his sword and put it back into the scabbard, looked at her running around just after waking up, and said coldly: "What are you doing here?"

Xue Huang jumped behind Rong Yu, looked at Wei Yunzhou's cold face, and shrank her neck, "Second Uncle, can you not be so fierce?"

Rong Yu said helplessly: "You just woke up and ran around."

"I'm here to find you."

Rong Yu pulled her from behind to the front, "Then why did you sneak over here?"

Xue Huang smiled and said, "I want to know if you are hiding something from me."

"Then you should ask Yunzhou." Rong Yu passed the buck in time.

Wei Yunzhou twitched his lips and said, "No."

"I don't believe it!" Xue Huang laughed. "It was Xu Yao who stopped Chu Yi and rescued Mo Xingyue, right? You guys are so brave to actually look for him. So Chu Yi didn't die, did he?"

"The purpose is to save people, so we naturally won't kill him." Wei Yunzhou said.

"Xu Yao actually agreed. What conditions did you promise him?" Xue Huang asked.

Wei Yunzhou's face turned cold, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Ouch!" Xue Huang covered her chest with her hands, her face wrinkled, "It hurts so much!"

Wei Yunzhou twitched his lips and said coldly, "Don't try that on me."

Xue Huang frowned, "It really hurts, it's all your fault."

"If it's okay, tell her." Rong Yu smiled helplessly.

Wei Yunzhou also felt helpless, "Brother, it was you who indulged her in her mischief."

Rong Yu smiled slightly and said nothing.

Wei Yunzhou sighed, "What I promised him was the truth about Beiyuan's destruction and the secret he had been pursuing."

"It's the same as if you didn't say anything."

"Then don't listen." Wei Yunzhou said, and walked away with a cold face.

Xue Huang choked, this time she was so angry that her wound hurt. "Uncle, if you continue to be so mean, you won't be able to find a wife in the future."

Wei Yunzhou walked away without looking back.

"Okay, go back and rest." Rong Yu said.

"Uncle, do you know what he talked about with Xuyao?"

Rong Yu shook his head.

"Is there any secret that is more important to Xu Yao than revenge?" Xue Huang asked puzzledly.

When Wei Yunzhou walked back to the hut, he happened to meet Gu Qinglan.

"Brother Wei." Gu Qinglan greeted him.

Wei Yunzhou nodded and looked at the food he brought to Xue Huang, all of which were Xue Huang’s favorites.

When Gu Qinglan saw Xuehuang talking to Rongyu, he put the food in his hand on the table and waited there silently.

Wei Yunzhou walked a few steps, then stopped and said, "She's leaving."

"I know." Gu Qinglan said lightly.

Wei Yunzhou looked at him with a hint of surprise between his brows.

Gu Qinglan smiled and said, "Sorry, I heard your conversation that day."

"You're fine." Wei Yunzhou said.

In fact, he saw how much Gu Qinglan cared about Xue Huang, otherwise he wouldn't have said that Xue Huang should stay away from them but didn't interfere with them hanging out together all day.

Gu Qinglan is a gentleman with noble character, and he is indeed very good to Xuehuang.

He had no objection to them being together, but no one could have predicted the consequences of Xue Huang's departure.

So from a practical point of view, he still prefers Rong Yu.

It's just that with his personality, he wouldn't say these words in a long-winded way. But looking at Gu Qinglan's expression, as a friend, he felt a little sorry for him.

He explained for the first time, "It's just that I don't want her to stay."

"I understand." Gu Qinglan said. "Because I don't want her to get hurt again."

Wei Yunzhou didn't say anything else, turned around and left.
