Vol 7 Chapter 24 (2/2)

“Un,” Huang Gai thought for a moment, and seemed to be reluctant to say what she was about to say but she eventually closed her eyes as though she made a resolve as she said–

“Bo Fu is leaving.”

“Leaving? Where to?” I wasn’t able to immediately understand what Huang Gai meant.

“I don’t know, but she has pa.s.sed over all authority to my lord Sun Quan.” Huang Gai shook her head, her braided ponytail floating in the wind. Looking at her, it seems like she really doesn’t know where Bo Fu is headed to but she’s been through a lot so she’s probably finding it easier to accept than most people.

But what is Bo Fu thinking? Why is she leaving Jiangdong all of a sudden?

Huang Gai and the rest don’t know, and there’s no way I would know.

But one thing I can be sure about is that Bo Fu’s decision must have been related to the incident with Yu Ji, and her conversation with me.

Perhaps to Bo Fu, she thinks of herself as someone who’s living on borrowed time so she doesn’t want to get too involved with things.

Of course, this is just my hypothesis.

“Perhaps my lord merely wishes to go out and have fun for a while. She’s been fighting for a long time after all.” Huang Gai said with a relieved and satisfied smile. Seems like this is a reason which Huang Gai is happy with.

If that’s really the case, then that’s good.

I was still a little worried about Bo Fu but I know that there wasn’t anything to be worried about. She’s Bo Fu so she’ll be fine no matter what. Moreover, her fate is something that is undecided after all.

“My lord, it’s cold outside. You should come in.” Just then, a familiar voice came from behind. When I turned, it was Yi De as expected.

“Ah, un.”

Every time I meet with Yi De, I have a lot of words to say to her. But every time I’m met with those clear, blank eyes of hers, I find those words stuck in my mouth. I was afraid that what I say would only agitate and trouble her to no end. To her now, I was just her lord after all.

“I’ll be heading back in then.”

“Un, that’s good.”

I said to Huang Gai, and headed to where Yi De was. When Yi De saw me come over, she even took 2 steps back, which hurt me deep down, and even made tears fill my eyes.

When we get to Jing state, Zhuge Liang will be there.

And everything will finally come to an end there.

I thought as I suppressed the desire to look at Yi De, and felt the torn feather fan behind me.
