Chapter 710 Past Events (Second Update)

More than twenty days have passed since Ying Kui came out of seclusion and learned that Xie Xihe was guarding the palace.

In the past twenty days, whenever Ying Kui had nothing to do, he would find a place where no one would notice and secretly look at Xie Xihe, but he never showed up to acknowledge her.

At first, Ying Shou just thought that he had relapsed into his old habit and deliberately wanted to tease the eldest lady. But more than twenty days passed and Xie Xihe was about to leave, but he still didn't show up.

Only then did Ying Shou realize that things were not as simple as he thought.

But even if he tried hard, he couldn't figure out why he did this.

Although nineteen years have passed, Ying Shou has never forgotten the look on his face when he learned about Xie Xihe's death after he came out of seclusion.

Shocked, painful, unbelievable, unable to accept... In the end, my face was completely gray.

Ying Shou almost thought that his lord couldn't bear the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away, so he wanted to go with the eldest lady.

Although he didn't go, he was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out on the spot. It took more than a year to recover before he slowly came back to his senses.

But it was not that the pain eased, but that for some reason he suddenly firmly believed that the eldest lady was not dead, and began an eighteen-year search.

In the past eighteen years, he had almost never left the Guardian Hall due to his health, but he never gave up looking for Xie Xihe. The first thing he did every time he left the palace was to ask her if there was any news about the eldest lady.

Even if I am disappointed again and again, I never think of giving up.

Such persistence, such persistence, now that everyone is in front of him, Ying Shou can't understand why he suddenly changed his mind and refused to acknowledge the eldest lady.

Not to mention his own thoughts, even Ying Shou, an outsider, felt unwilling to do so.

After enduring it for more than twenty days, and then leaving without asking anyone, Ying Shou finally couldn't help but ask.

Ying Kui looked a little dazed. He didn't want to answer at first, but he felt that he might really need to find someone to talk to, so he simply sat down on a big rock not far away and sighed: "There's no reason, it just happened suddenly. I don’t think it’s necessary anymore.”

Ying Shou frowned: "Why is it unnecessary?"

Ying Kui did not answer immediately, but turned to a topic that was not very relevant and said, "Do you know why I adopted her?"

There was no need for Ying Shou to answer, he had already answered on his own.

"When I accidentally discovered a golden light group full of magical power, I built a guardian palace with the light group as the center. Because of that light group, my body underwent some extraordinary changes."

"Appearance, physique, abilities, etc., etc., have all changed. What has changed the most is life span."

He glanced at Ying Shou: "You should have noticed this a long time ago, right?"

Ying Shou nodded immediately: "Yes."

At this point, apart from the Lord himself, I am afraid no one knows better than him.

Because of these characteristics of him, a lot of changes have taken place.

He is one hundred and eighty years old this year, but judging from his appearance, he is only about fifty.

And he was affected by this just because he stayed with the adults for a long time. The impact on the adults himself can be imagined.

Ying Kui continued: "Although my life span has been greatly extended, when all things come to an end, so will I."

"More than fifty years ago, I vaguely felt that my end was coming, so I left the Guardian Hall and wanted a suitable successor. Then I met her."

At that time, she was still an infant, without a father or a mother. Even Ying Kui, the master of the guardian hall, could not find out her origin.

It was as if she appeared out of thin air.

And the moment he picked her up, Ying Kui found that the sickly and old feeling in his body had subsided a lot, and he felt much more relaxed.

This surprised him, and he vaguely realized that this child might be something special.

Facts have also proved that she is indeed far different from ordinary people.

"So I named her Xihe, which is the same name as the god of the sun and moon in ancient mythology. I hope she will be as dazzling as the sun and can shine and save more people."

"This child has been smart since she was a child. After she woke up when she was ten years old, I knew that she no longer needed my guidance. She has grown to a point where she is better than me."

"But I still didn't leave immediately or take her back to the Guardian Hall. Do you know why?"

Ying Shou asked cooperatively: "Why?"

"Because she is too withdrawn and her heart is too cold." Ying Kui replied, "I can't feel relieved."

"A teenage child only interacts with a large amount of instrument data every day. All year round, as long as you don't take the initiative to talk to her, she will not say a word."

"That is to say, I brought back Xiao Anqing and Xiao Tingqian. Those two children, one talkative and the other arrogant, followed her every day. This made her a little more popular."

Later, Mo Huaizhi and Fu Yunting were added, and the future base became more and more lively.

He then returned to the Guardian Hall with peace of mind.

At that time, nearly twenty years had passed since he left, and his body, which had already improved, became worse again, and every time it happened, it was critical.

He and Lu Tingqian were the only four people she cared about, especially him.

Although the little guy never said it, he knew that she devoted a lot of time and energy to studying medicine and took risks time and time again to find medicine. The little guy seemed to be cold and desolate, but in fact he was extremely affectionate.

He was afraid that his death would have too much impact on her, so he left quietly.

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't die in the end, but learned about her death...

The light in Ying Kui's eyes changed, and he sighed deeply again: "I can only say that everything is fate."

During the years when he was with Xie Xihe, Ying Shou was not with him, so he only knew about people like Xie Xi and Lu Tingqian, but not what happened back then. Now when he heard him talk about it, he felt a little dazed.

But when he came back to his senses, he was even more puzzled: "So, what does this have to do with you not recognizing the eldest lady?"

Ying Kui gave him a slap in the face and said angrily: "You are a pig!"

He started to complain: "I was worried that my death would affect her and chose to leave. Now she must think that I am dead long ago. In this case, why should I go out to meet her?"

"Let her watch me die again?!"

"Besides, she now has a father, a mother, a husband, and relatives and friends. She shouldn't live a comfortable life. What's the big deal if she has more of me and less of me? Wouldn't it be better to just let her think that I was dead long ago?! "

Ying Shou: "..."

Although, don't you think your last sentence was sour?

Ying Kui hummed: "Let's go, let's go, you're already old, why are you sad here? Sad, go back to the palace! Retreat!"

Ying Kui wiped his face to clear away his emotions, and turned around angrily. However, the moment he stood up, he was so frightened that he jumped back a foot away. He pointed at the person who appeared behind him with shaking fingers: "You... …you you you……"

Good night
