Sun Peiying, this elderly person, is considered a legend on Flower Island and even in Xuanjin.
An Yiqing naturally didn’t recognize him, but Ye Chenghong did.
Back when An Yiqing was about to co to Flower Island to develop Xuanjin Yulong, Ye Chenghong gave An Yiqing a photo, advising her that if she encountered sothing she couldn’t resolve, to take the photo and seek out Sun Peiying.
In the photo, three spirited and dashing young n stood side by side. An Yiqing recognized one of them, it was her master in his thirties. The other two were Sun Peiying and another of Ye Chenghong’s friends, who had unfortunately died in a car accident.
Ye Chenghong and Sun Peiying were best friends in their youth. They didn’t know each other initially, but later beca acquainted when Ye Chenghong spent a whole night rescuing Sun Peiying from the brink after he was shot. At that ti, Sun Peiying had a powerful family background but hadn’t yet reached the coveted position that everyone dread of.
Later, when dicine Sect faced upheaval, Ye Chenghong went into seclusion. Sun Peiying sent people to dicine Sect many tis to inquire about him but always returned disappointed.
Upon learning of this, An Yiqing was startled by Ye Chenghong’s connections. Truly, Ye Chenghong of decades past was a force to be reckoned with, his influence incomparable to hers of the younger generation.
Knowing Ye Chenghong was concerned about her being mistreated on Flower Island, An Yiqing didn’t refuse and kept the photo. She hadn’t expected to need it so soon, but unexpectedly, Jiang Zirong was causing trouble behind the scenes.
Well, she thought, perhaps she could see old friends on behalf of her master. If they helped, she wouldn’t take their kindness for granted. If not, it was still within expectations. After all, decades can change many things.
"Investigate this old man’s residence, and let’s find ti to visit."
Zhang Yufeng went out to take care of business, so today, with nothing to do, An Yiqing went out with Xiao Hei.
Not far from the Vidoria Grand Hotel was a bustling comrcial district, and instead of choosing a transport, An Yiqing walked with Xiao Hei, the two of them strolling along leisurely.
The afternoon sun was scorching, and the cicadas in the trees were wilted by the heat. The streets bustled with Flower Island’s unique fast-paced rhythm, countless vehicles rushing by, carrying people hurriedly to work.
Amidst this busy crowd, a young girl looked sowhat unique. She wore a white knee-length dress, her long black hair softly draped over her shoulders, and the curve of her mouth gave a sense of warmth and beauty. Her clear glasslike eyes shimred with a gentle and calm luster, and even under the scorching conditions, she appeared refreshing and pleasant.
Beside her stood a little boy in a dark silk short outfit. He looked about five or six years old, with fine bangs on his forehead and a long braid hanging over his shoulder, his chubby white face was exquisitely sculpted, and his round amber eyes were utterly endearing.
At this mont, this pair, each holding an ice cream, sat leisurely on a long bench in the square next to the avenue in the comrcial area. Under the shade of the trees, they chatted and laughed, the girl occasionally letting out a pleasant laugh, and the little boy following with a cute smile. Such a lovely scene attracted passersby, even those seated far in the square turned their heads for a glance now and then.
No one noticed that on the square, a little girl wearing a pale blue princess dress, holding an ice cream, stood alone. Her complexion was sowhat pale, fear tinged her eyes.
In just a blink, where did her mom go?
With short strides, she wobbled back and forth, trying to retrace her steps to find her lost mom. However, focused solely on looking around, she unknowingly ran into the main road.
A large truck ca speeding, its sharp horn catching the little girl’s attention. She stared blankly at the oncoming big vehicle, dropping the ice cream from her hand.
Everyone around saw this unfold, but with the truck coming too fast, the driver couldn’t brake in ti. So won squeezed their eyes shut, not daring to watch the impending scene.
At that mont, a white silhouette quickly dashed off the road, rushing forward. She grabbed the stunned little girl and rolled them over to the side.
