The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye...

The wooden kite landed early on Hua Ye's palm. After passing through numerous obstacles and barriers, it actually automatically dispersed and dropped a piece of paper.

The note clearly read: "The two-month deadline has expired. When will you show up?" Li Li's name was clearly written at the end of the note, which made her feel particularly irritated.

An uncontrollable anger surged in Hua Ye's heart. She frowned tightly and crumpled the note into a ball without hesitation.

At the same time, the heat from her palm was like a flame, instantly igniting the crumpled piece of paper and throwing it away.

In the blink of an eye, the note turned to ashes, as if it had never existed.

"Do you want to go or not? If you don't want to go, I can bring your parents over."

Xuzhi stood behind her, asking for her opinion with concern.

Hua Ye did not give an immediate answer, but silently weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

After a long period of deep thought, she finally raised her head and spoke in a firm tone.

"Go, some things must be resolved thoroughly, otherwise there will be widespread repercussions. He is not an ordinary person. After all, he will become the king of a country in the future."

Hearing her calm tone, as if she was just going to solve a trivial problem, Xuzhi couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

(This girl is not easy to offend. No wonder the ancients said that only women and villains are difficult to raise. You must never offend her in the future. This girl's skills are improving rapidly...)

The gradually cooler weather makes people feel refreshed. The summer heat and dryness have long gone, and the rain in Qicheng has gradually become more abundant.

The hundreds of acres of fertile land that were cultivated with hard work, the wheat ears bent the branches, and made a rustling sound when the wind blew, as if telling people that the wheat was about to mature.

Hua Ye stood on Canglang Mountain, overlooking the lush wheat fields through the barrier.

The sweet aroma of wheat carried by the wind made her sigh with emotion: "How hard it was to get all this..."

"Master, do you think that if we eliminate so many invading monsters, we can enjoy a few years of peace and prosperity, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment?"

Xuzhi lowered his head to look at the ground, his eyes restrained, not daring to respond.

He knew in his heart that there were no fewer monsters in this world than humans, and perhaps many places in other unknown places had already been conquered.

"Well... it's hard to say. After all, there are countless demons in this world, and it's almost impossible to kill them all."

Hua Ye sighed and said, "Well, let's not worry about that for now. Let Chen Le, the exorcist, guard Qicheng. With his strength, he should be able to keep the area safe."

She knew that although they could not guarantee that there would never be any monsters invading again, they could at least provide the people with a relatively peaceful living environment.

As for herself, she must continue to work hard to cultivate and improve her strength in order to deal with possible crises in the future.

"Are you planning to take me with you to Kyoto?" Xuzhi couldn't help but ask, unable to suppress his inner doubts.

He thought to himself that if she didn't allow it, then he would have to go to Kyoto with her no matter what.

Hua Ye responded without flinching, "Yes, Master, you may need to accompany me. After all, if the negotiations fail to reach an agreement, I must have a foolproof plan to ensure that my parents can escape safely."

At this time, Hua Ye was no longer as servile and compromising as he was in the past.

She expressed her ideas in a firm and confident tone, communicating with Xuzhi on an equal footing.

She is fully aware of the importance of this trip and the potential risks, but she also firmly believes that she is capable of handling all challenges.

Xuzhi watched her become more and more confident. When she stood beside him, she became a complete individual. She no longer obeyed his orders, but learned to express herself.

He even touched her heart from time to time and completely exposed herself in front of him, although she still called him Master.

But in my heart, I have already considered him as someone who will stick with me in the future...

"Master, I have something to ask of you?"

Hua Ye was out of character. His usual relaxed and happy smile was no longer on his face. Instead, he looked solemn, as if he was about to face a difficult challenge.

She spoke to the master in a very serious tone.

The master saw through her inner thoughts with just one glance. He then teased her, "Looking like you're in this state, I'm afraid you're going to do something quite difficult, right?"

Hearing what his master said, Hua Ye quickly waved his hands and explained eagerly.

"It's not that difficult, is it? This matter requires the help of your fifth brother and sister Wutong, but I'm worried that your fifth brother won't help easily..."

Before Hua Ye could finish her words, Xu Zhi already understood what she meant.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and then he interrupted Hua Ye with a smile.

"Do you want me to come forward and tell my fifth brother, so that he won't have any excuse to shirk responsibility?"

Xu Zhi looked at her wishful thinking and couldn't help but feel amused...

At the same time, he secretly sighed that this little girl was really smart! But now that she had already spoken, he couldn't seem to find a suitable reason to refuse.

So, Xuzhi nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had anticipated this decision.

His eyes flashed with confidence and determination, as if he had seen some possibility in the future. And all of this was keenly captured by Hua Ye.

Seeing this, Hua Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of ecstasy. She stared at Xu Zhi with wide eyes, her excitement evident in her words. Then, without hesitation, she bowed deeply to Xu Zhi, expressing her deep gratitude. At the same time, she vowed that if the matter succeeded, she would do her utmost to repay Xu Zhi's great kindness.

In the days that followed, Hua Ye began to devote herself to the preparations for hiring someone to help her. She kept an eye on Wu Tong Yuan's every move, looking for the right opportunity to approach him. Finally, during a chance encounter, she spotted Wu Tong Yuan.

So, she followed Wutongyuan carefully, keeping a proper distance, so as not to alert him but also to ensure that she would not lose him. In this way, they passed through the busy streets, passed the bustling crowds, and came to a quiet forest.

However, Wutongyuan seemed to sense that someone was following her, and she suddenly quickened her pace, trying to get rid of Huaye. But Huaye did not give up easily, and she followed closely behind, showing amazing perseverance and determination.

Throughout the entire process, Hua Ye was like a stubborn follower, following Wutong Yuan wherever he went. Despite this, she could never muster the courage to tell him her purpose, and could only follow him silently, feeling anxious in her heart.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Wutongyuan finally couldn't stand it anymore. She stopped abruptly, turned around and glared at Hua Ye, her eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion.

"Hua Ye, you have been following me for so long. What's the matter?" Wutong Yuan's voice was a little majestic, which made Hua Ye's heart tighten.

Faced with Wutongyuan's questioning, Hua Ye seemed a little flustered.

She stammered, "I...my situation is a bit difficult...it's hard to start...I thought about it for a long time, but I don't know how to say it..."

As he spoke, Wutongyuan dodged Hua Ye cleverly by moving sideways.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Hua Ye had no time to react, lost his balance and fell forward.

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, she swiftly turned 180 degrees, quickly condensed a ball of sword light in her hand, and pushed herself against the ground with force, using this force to prop up her body and stand steadily.

“Ouch! That was close!”

Hua Ye patted his chest with lingering fear, and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

At this time, Wutongyuan stood quietly aside, looking at Hua Ye with sharp eyes.

She seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment, she slowly said, "Just say what you want to say. There's no need to be so shy."

"Just tell me! When you were fighting with me for the title of Highness, I never saw you so embarrassed!"

"This is different. Today I need your help. Fighting for him is fair competition..."

"What's the matter?"

Wutong interrupted her impatiently.

"Sister Wutong, can you and Xufu go to my house and bring my parents and family out?"

Hua Ye spoke a series of words in a compact manner...

"can!"

It seemed that before she finished speaking, she got Wutong's affirmative answer.

This made Hua Ye confused and at a loss as to what to do...

"Actually, you could just ask His Highness to come find me. Why go through so much trouble?" Wutong asked in confusion.

"This cannot be compared. You are you and he is him. Thank you Sister Wutong for your help. We will leave tomorrow morning and I will inform you two then."

Hua Ye clasped his hands together, saluted Wutong solemnly, and turned to leave...

On the other side, Xu Zhi found his fifth brother and conveyed Hua Ye's request to him.

"Xu Fu, I need you to do Hua Ye a favor,"

Although he was a little hesitant at first, he finally agreed under the pressure of Xu Zhi.
