So he was the legendary childhood sweetheart of our mother, Feng Xibai. This one’s a lovestruck fool too, stubbornly hanging on for Xi Yue all these years, never marrying.
And his background isn’t simple either—he’s even from the Shura Sect... Wait, speaking of the Shura Sect, doesn’t that an my brother has actually known Feng Xibai for a long ti?
Murong Xue subconsciously looked at Murong Han, only to find him very calm. At least she couldn’t see any change in his expression. Was Brother just that good at pretending, or did the two of them really not know each other’s identities? No way. How was it written in the original again?
Oh, right, it said Feng Xibai ca back to help her and her brother keep an eye on Xi Yue’s health, then let them return to Lanyue to look for the Host of the Mother Poisonous Insect. It’s just that in this life, she’d forgotten to give him that chance.
Running into him here now could be considered fate for their family, right?
Feng Xibai was two years younger than Xi Yang, and eight years older than Xi Yue.
Counting it up, he was already forty‑six this year.
He was the abandoned baby Grandfather found in nearby waters when he was out wandering all those years ago. Back then he’d been poisoned and on the verge of death. Grandfather couldn’t bear to leave him, so he brought him back to the island. After Detoxification, he raised him to adulthood.
The reason he was called Feng Xibai was because he had a Jade Pendant on him with that na carved into it. To show respect for his original surna, Grandfather didn’t change his na.
Although he was an outsider by surna on the island, he played best with the siblings Xi Yang and Xi Yue. He was especially smart, loved learning, and was extrely gifted—an outstanding talent.
Everyone on the island knew Feng Xibai liked Xi Yue, but Xi Yue had only ever treated him as an older brother and had never felt any romantic feelings. On top of that, at the ti Grandparents were only his adoptive parents and had no right to decide his marriage, so they never agreed to a marriage between him and their little sister.
After being heartbroken for a while, Feng Xibai left Xiran Island on the pretext of searching for his family. At first he would still occasionally co back to visit, but after Xi Yue got married, he didn’t return for many years. It wasn’t until twelve years ago, when she fell gravely ill, that he ca back to guard her for a whole year, then began wandering the world to look for ways to Detoxify her.
In the original story, Uncle personally admitted that Feng Xibai’s talent was even higher than his, and that his true identity was the legitimate second son of the Feng Family, one of the four great families of Xichu. That status was more than worthy of Mom.
From Murong Xue’s modern perspective, the fact that Feng Xibai could wait twenty years for Xi Yue, and even initially planned to remain single his whole life, already made him seem more reliable than that guy Murong Yi. Honestly, whichever angle you looked from, Murong Yi couldn’t compare to Feng Xibai. She really had no idea what part of him her mother had liked back then. It just showed how easily won could be blinded by appearances sotis. Maybe Murong Yi did sothing at the ti that made Xi Yue set her heart on him, but after what happened this ti, she should be able to truly wake up, right?
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xi Yang said, "Since it’s rare for us all to gather together today, and mainly because of Xi Yue’s matter, Xibai, why don’t you explain it to the children?"
At the ntion of Xi Yue, a hint of gentleness swept across Feng Xibai’s handso face. He nodded.
"Xiao Xue, I only returned after you all left. Although we didn’t et, I more or less understand the situation. I’m very happy to et you, and very happy for Xi Yue. Her pair of children are living well, and I’m genuinely happy for her. Being able to wait for her to wake up together with you is a miracle in itself. After you left, I kept feeding her so replenishing and regulating dicine. This kind of dicine is mild and just right for soone as weak as her, and there was no rejection. After repeated rounds of regulating dicine, her body has now adapted to its properties."
"After you sent the pigeon letter that Consort Hua was dead, we haven’t slept at all. We watched over her day and night. Finally, on the night seven days ago, just as we expected, she started vomiting blood nonstop, with stabbing pain in her chest. Most of the blood she vomited at first was black. Then she vomited more and more. Just when we were all worried she’d keep vomiting like that, the blood she brought up gradually went from black to fresh red. But because she lost too much blood, she’s remained in a coma ever since."
"Over the next few days, the vomiting of blood eased up, but the chest pains still ca and went. Often she’d be in so much pain that her consciousness started to blur. Even though she tried hard to wake up, she just couldn’t open her eyes or make a sound. Aside from groans forced out by the pain, she would also struggle to turn over by herself. But every ti she used up all her strength and still couldn’t turn, ending up drenched in sweat. We hurried to comfort her, telling her not to rush and to take it slowly. Her reactions were rather slow—only after we repeated it many tis did she seem to understand, and gradually she stopped tornting herself..."
"Judging from today’s condition, she’s clearly improved a lot. Waking up is just a matter of ti. As for how she’ll recover after waking, we still don’t know. We’ll need to conduct further examinations to find out."
