Chapter 843: Han Yunxi, yousre still not leaving? (2/2)

“But there’s no need for Ning An to lie to me,” Han Yunxi said seriously.

“It’s not impossible that the Di Clan was tricked!” Long Feiye said coldly. At this, both of them gave a start.

“The Wind Clan!” Han Yunxi exclaimed.

“The Wind Clan…” Long Feiye narrowed his eyes.

West Qin had left all the responsibility of fighting the flood in the Wind Clan’s hands. Whether or not the Black Clan was protecting the dam or destroying it all came from their accounts! Judging from how the Wind Clan had betrayed West Qin today, and Bai Yanqing’s own ambitions, it was possible the Wind Clan had tricked both imperial courts in the past!

Neither one of them needed an explanation for the suspicion shining in their eyes. Long Feiye thought it over before he said coldly, “Looks like we’ll need to have a good talk with Bai Yanqing!”

Between keeping Han Yunxi as a nameless nobody or make her his enemy for life, Long Feiye’s only choice was to pick the former. He couldn’t accept the thought of the latter. But if a third option was available, then even the smallest possibility could convince him to let go of his enmity to find a solution.

Bai Yanqing was the key!

Although she knew this was only a suspicion, Han Yunxi couldn’t help but feel happy. Finally, she could see hope. She even harbored a little selfish thought that if this wasn’t the truth, she’d rather it was real anyways! How many generations had the hatred lasted? How long were they supposed to be wrapped up in the conflict and keep hurting each other?

Why not give East and West Qin a chance to get rid of all this and have them be perfectly justified together?

“Ye, how about making a decision after we clarify the details?” Han Yunxi asked.

“Alright,” Long Feiye agreed without hesitation.

He, like Han Yunxi, had a sense of responsibility and a conscience. What she struggled with, he’d experienced himself. Because he understood everything, he had decided to hoodwink her in the past.

Bai Yanqing, since you exposed this crown prince’s lies, then you’ll have to take responsibility. Long Feiye silently vowed to make him pay!

With hope in the air, the aura between the two relaxed considerably. Han Yunxi personally poured Long Feiye a cup of tea and smiled at him. He saw her sweet expression and suddenly had the selfish desire to give them a backdoor out. That would be his greatest retreat for Han Yunxi’s sake.

No matter what I get from Bai Yanqing or what the truth could be, even if there was no misunderstanding at all and just hate, I’m willing to turn that hatred into a misunderstanding and dissolve all this enmity.

So whatever it took, he needed to capture Bai Yanqing before Ning Cheng first. At that, Long Feiye thought of Gu Beiyue!

Han Yunxi noticed him pull a long face and went to scratch him. “Smile a bit, won’t you? We have a solution now!”

Long Feiye couldn’t help but laugh as he stroked her hair. “Mm, I know.”

Very soon, Han Yunxi and Long Feiye began to discuss the particulars of the battlefield, including their reasons for a ceasefire. There were times and restrictions for both sides, as well as discussions on how they could cooperate to deal with Bai Yanqing.

As soon as they finished, a shadow guard came to report, “Your Highness, Ning Cheng has brought a few bodyguards to kill his way in.”

“Have Xu Donglin meet them,” Long Feiye said coldly.

Han Yunxi paused before she held him back. “Ye, let’s just meet again next time.” She had already dawdled far too long. If this dragged on, how was she supposed to convince Ning Cheng that Long Feiye had saved her to talk negotiations? Before they captured the Wind Clan and kept Jun Yixie’s battle horses in check, they had to maintain the status quo. Of course, Han Yunxi would never tell Ning Cheng that she had resolved all the details with one meeting. If that was the case, where would her reason to see Long Feiye again come from?

Naturally, Long Feiye understood what was at stake, but he was reluctant to let her go. In the end, it was Han Yunxi who broke free first and jumped off the carriage. As soon as she landed, Long Feiye pulled her back again. “Climb on, I’ll send you back.

“Don’t!” Han Yunxi rejected instantly. She was afraid that when the time came, she’d hesitate and reveal too much with her reluctance. “Ye, until next time.”

She marched resolutely forward, but it wasn’t a few steps before her pace grew slower and slower. In the end, she stopped and looked back. Long Feiye was standing right by the carriage as he stared at her. Their eyes met, both reluctant to part. After a long period of silence, it was him who spoke first.

“Han Yunxi, you’re still not leaving?”

Han Yunxi could hold herself back, but hearing this familiar line sent all of her strength falling apart. In the past, it was always him who left first before turning back to ask her this question. No matter how far he went, he would always stop and wait for her to run over and catch up to his side.

And now things were like this.

Looking at Long Feiye’s cold and chilly face, Han Yunxi’s eyes turned red. She suddenly ran right back towards him. A helpless Long Feiye embraced her in his arms.

“How about I just escort you back,”he said.
