"Foreknowledge?"
Tushere, who feared supernatural matters the most, widened her eyes upon hearing this and instinctively lowered her voice: "Who, who can foresee the future?"
"..."
A glint of cold light flashed in the depths of Shang Ruyi’s eyes.
Foreknowledge—
These four words were rely an ambiguous term; more precisely, soone knew more than she did.
There was soone who knew more than she did, an idea that pricked at her mind like a needle, which is why she had been quietly planning, trying to extract that na from Song Yu’s lips. Unexpectedly, Song Yu died just before speaking.
As for Ma Xu, though he survived, he was clearly now a useless pawn.
Thus, this visit to Fufeng was not just about facing off against Xue Xian, but also a confrontation with another person.
This round involved the enemy collecting dicinal herbs in Daxing City and various counties, the start of the battles in Fufeng, ending with narrowly defeating Xue Xian, and Yu Wenye obtaining the crucial dicine.
The opponent did not win, nor did they lose.
Shang Ruyi had a vague feeling that the person remained hidden behind layers of mist, not intending to reveal themselves easily. But this person seed ever-ready to reach out from the mist, and when he did, it might be when she and Yu Wenye again faced an absolute adversity.
She must find this person quickly!
However, she should not let too many people know about this, especially not Tushere. Though loyal, the girl was timid and couldn’t keep secrets. Talking to her would probably scare her silly, or worse, make her think she’s beco a fool due to illness.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi rely gave a faint smile and said, "It’s nothing, maybe I’m just overthinking it."
Only then did Tushere let out a long breath and said, "Miss, don’t say such frightening things."
"..."
"Today I ca here, rely hearing that Miss almost got burned to death scared out of my mind. If anything happens to Miss again, I really won’t be able to live."
Shang Ruyi laughed and said, "Alright, don’t worry."
Tushere stood up, holding a copper basin, ready to go out and wash clothes. Then, Shang Ruyi suddenly seed to rember sothing, "Hey—"
Tushere turned to look at her, "What is it, Miss?"
Shang Ruyi also paused, unsure of the sudden mont of hesitation that flashed through her mind, and upon reflection, could not recall it at all.
After a while, she lightly shook her head and said, "It’s nothing."
Tushere gave her a puzzled look but said no more, turned, and left.
After she left, Shang Ruyi felt inexplicably lost, sighed, and slowly walked to the bedside, gazing down at Yu Wenye’s still pale face, whose shadows between the brows had lightened considerably, and was breathing much more steadily, not as feverish as before.
Inadvertantly, a slight smile erged on her face.
It was only then she realized this mont was one of rare peace these days.
Reflecting on this, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a sense of lethargy, and upon just realizing it, the weariness and weakness ca over her like a tide, almost engulfing her whole being—she knew all too well that these days, not only had Wo Xue been sleepless, she too had barely had a good night’s rest, even in sleep guarded against unknown daggers and arrows, and ruthless elents of water and fire.
By this point, she truly understood she was too exhausted.
Thinking this, she leaned down onto the bed, and after a while, slowly curled up into Yu Wenye’s embrace.
The resoluteness and tenacity of last night, the aggression that wouldn’t retreat even facing defeated soldiers, the sharp acun dealing with Song Yu, and the cautious suspicion facing Yu Wenqian—all the good and bad emotions that had drained her were suddenly gone in this mont.
What was left was a certain bitterness in the heart.
She gently buried her face in his chest, felt the strong, steady rise and fall, and a wave of warm wetness filled her eyes, spilling over and soaking his clothes.
Shang Ruyi softly said, "You, wake up soon."
The room was still, with rare tranquility, accompanied by the sound of even breathing at the ear, Shang Ruyi slowly closed her eyes.
At this mont, as if soone hurriedly ca, pushed open the door, but the next second, quietly retreated out.
