VOLUME 10 CHAPTER 31: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS ADOPTING A DAUGHTER (1)

No POV / POV of G.o.d

After she finished, Xu Shu looked at the girl with a ‘you should know what I mean’ look.

Ah… So she asked this huh? The girl thought.

“That can’t be helped. The present is ever-changing so there will always be some deviations and irregularities.” The girl said as she gave a calm smile, “Besides, you resolved in the end, no?”

“… Alright.” Xu Shu said with some dissatisfaction as she closed her eyes. However, this is the best answer the girl can give as there are some things she absolutely cannot tell Xu Shu.

“Ah, by the way, where is your headband?” The girl asked, finally realising what the discrepancy between the Xu Shu now and the usual Xu Shu she was used to was.

“Ah,” Xu Shu said as she felt her forehead and turned around as she smiled, “I left it behind.”

Left it? The girl did not ask this and merely sat upright as she watched Xu Shu leave.

Xu Shu turned back and waved and so did the girl. As she stared at Xu Shu, the girl remained silent.

“Yuan Zhi!” But soon, the girl could not hold back and yelled out. Xu Shu, who was by now in the distance turned back as the girl yelled out in an even louder voice, “Remember to treat your aged mother well when you get to Xuchang.”

The girl looked at Xu Shu in the distance. It seemed like Xu Shu said something but a wind swept up and she could not hear it. It was even possible that Xu Shu had not heard her words.

“Another old friend has left huh?” A woman said as she appeared beside the girl, “Like this, it is likely that you will both never meet again.”

“… Possibly.” The girl said and sighed as she finally put down her arm, “But the things she said to me at the end… She wants me to help that Liu Bei change history huh.”

The woman raised her arm to cover her smile, “Will you?”

“Of course not.” The girl said resolutely as she placed her hands behind her back and paced around inside the room, “My mission is just to make sure history advances down the path it is supposed to.”

“Then why did you say those things to Xu Shu?”

“…” The girl stopped and remained silent for a while before she continued pacing about again, “I don’t mean anything by that. A good friend is leaving after all so I have to say something to send her off.”

The woman who stood by the stone table merely smiled in response.

*Tatatata*

The sound of horse hooves against the ground reverberated in the mountains before disappearing without a trace before long.

Liu Bei POV

After Yuan Zhi left, Fan city became a lot colder and lonelier.

Of course, it’s not like things died down. In fact, they got more heated up as more and more people came into Fan city. Yun Chang, Feng Xian and the rest were really busy in particular.

“We need to get the housing facilities for the 2 villages that applied to come in over the next few days no matter what.”

“That is true but we have not even cleared out the land required yet.” Feng Xian said tiredly to an enthusiastic Yun Chang. Feng Xian seemed to be so exhausted that even Red Hare was dozing off.

And it was not even noon yet.

Ever since Yuan Zhi left, the plan to move the villages into the city has met with many roadblocks. Without her guidance, we could only bounce ideas off each other as we felt about in the dark.

That is not to say that Yuan Zhi can always find the correct solution but at the very least,

her insights have always been very constructive. Better than Zhou Cang at least, who proposed to expand the walls.

“Alright, let’s get to work.” Yun Chang said as she stretched her back and got up, not forgetting to greet me as she left, “Big brother, we’ll be leaving now.”

“Un, be careful when you’re helping with the construction works.”

“I’m going as well.” Feng Xian said as she got up, “Xuan De, are you leaving today or tomorrow?”

“Un… If I remember correctly, then it should be today.”

Yes, we are leaving Fan city today and returning to Xinye. We have already communicated to Xinye what to do with respect to the task of moving the villages into the city but we have not yet received any update on how it is proceeding.

“Un un. We’ll be especially busy over the next few days so I won’t be sending you off.” Feng Xian nodded as she looked at me before she left, “Come again when you’re free.”
