Chapter 970: Chapter 299: Letter! Relay Station! Small Town! Xiangxiang!

"I definitely can’t endure this."

"After all, we’re neither husband and wife, nor do we have a marriage contract, and you’re not by my side. Yet you still want to forbid me from being with someone else; isn’t there something wrong with your mindset? But my refusal didn’t deter him; instead, he had major conflicts with Cao Qingyu."

"Then Cao Qingyu could do nothing, so he gave him some silver to get him to leave me, which he took as an insult. After that, their relationship seemed to be quite bad."

"Afterward, I wasn’t very clear about things. It seems he joined some sect and never returned, and later on, Cao Qingyu also found me, apologized, and before I had even asked anything, he had already left my side and soon married another woman."

"Thus, my relationship with Cao Qingyu has ended, and now I’ve become Xiangxiang Miss. But I don’t feel bad about it; having such a title is already a good outcome for someone like me, especially since I’m not lacking silver now and rather happy."

Xiangxiang Miss spoke slowly, but her tone was extremely relaxed, as if she were narrating something insignificant, just reminiscing. Her calmness was comparable to a student reciting a timetable, detached and indifferent.

After finishing, she cheerfully stood beside Yuchi, playfully punching his shoulder, and curiously asked: "So why are you asking about these things, young master? Are you hoping for this young lady to cry in your arms? Do you want to see my vulnerable side?"

"If that’s the case, then young master might be overthinking."

"I’m quite strong; at first, I couldn’t accept it, but then suddenly I came to terms with it. These are typical twists of fate, and we as mere mortals can’t really defy fate, can we? So if things can’t be changed, then just let them be."

Yuchi was silent.

Is this how things are? For Xiang Shaoyuan, he just wanted to cultivate properly and provide a good life for Xi Jiayu. Yet for Xi Jiayu, she couldn’t endure continuous waiting. And for Cao Qingyu, he and Xi Jiayu were fine at first, but perhaps after killing Xiang Shaoyuan, he felt ashamed facing Xi Jiayu, hence disappeared.

These three are truly lamentable; these similar stories have been heard many times, but when they happen around you, especially involving someone like Xiangxiang Miss, it still makes Yuchi feel a bit uncomfortable.

What should he do now? After pondering for a while, Yuchi temporarily seated Xiangxiang Miss down, said he needed to step out and would return shortly. Before Xiangxiang Miss realized, he had already returned with a wooden box at the door.

Whoa, that was fast! Was that even a breath?! Brother, did you use flash?

Xiangxiang Miss looked at Yuchi in disbelief, while Yuchi first placed the wooden box on the table and earnestly said to Xiangxiang Miss’s puzzled expression:

"Actually, I came to this city by chance because of the matter concerning the three of you, and I happen to have a letter left by Xiang Shaoyuan, interested in seeing it, Xiangxiang Miss?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Looking at the wooden box on the table, Xiangxiang Miss was even more puzzled: "A letter left by Xiang Shaoyuan?"

"Yes, do you want to see it?" Yuchi asked.

"I do."

Xiangxiang Miss nodded.

The envelope was handed over, and Yuchi drank tea while observing her expression. Her calm demeanor was astonishing, maintaining her signature smile and composure as she read through each page, finally burning the letters once finished.

Yuchi: "..."

Today he realized how his big brother got neatly arranged by Xiangxiang Miss; without so many pretty female disciples by his side, he couldn’t resist Xiangxiang Miss’s charms.

Xiangxiang Miss grinned at Yuchi and said: "So-called destiny without fate is just like this; such things can’t be predicted, so young master, don’t dwell on these matters. Not every love story ends well; what’s gone is gone."

"Shedding tears for the past is not worthwhile."

Sigh!

Xiangxiang Miss is truly professional.

Yuchi was moved, thinking Xiangxiang Miss was truly professional. Despite this, there’s no abnormality? So what could he do? He was just passing by and thus had no substantial connection to the matter; he couldn’t say anything was wrong with the three of them.

It wouldn’t be right.

Xiangxiang Miss lightly laughed and asked: "So is young master planning to trouble Cao Qingyu later?"

Yuchi thought for a while and said leisurely: "I wouldn’t say trouble; it’s more of sitting down and having a chat, it’s better to know more about the hidden details of the past. Also, Xiang Shaoyuan left you thirty thousand silver coins, and I’ll bring them to you later."

Xiangxiang Miss shook her head: "The thirty thousand silver coins were given to the young master; what do I need them for? As a woman, I love the lively atmosphere, and it’s pretty peaceful in this pavilion now; seriously, do you want to ransom me? In this vast world, where could I go alone?"

"So I won’t take the silver; I’m quite satisfied with my current life, relying on myself, which is perfectly fine."

"I understand life better than these two men."

Yuchi’s old heart twinged; is it possible she’s so detached now? He moved behind Xiangxiang Miss and respectfully massaged her shoulders:

"This isn’t about money; it’s just that I’m doing nothing and came over to do a good deed. If Xiang Shaoyuan indeed left me thirty thousand silver coins, I’d just take it, just like I’d accept his Storage Ring without hesitation, but donating the silver is the best choice."

"I’ll give it to you; if you don’t like it, you can give it to someone in town whom you fancy. That’s just fine."

"Otherwise, you could secretly place these thirty thousand silver coins in my path when I’m unaware, so I end up picking them up for no reason; this works too. How else could I justify it? If people ask how I got thirty thousand silver coins, should I say I took a man’s dowry?"

Yuchi laughed wryly.

Xiangxiang Miss was amused by Yuchi.

She had no choice but to nod and say to Yuchi: "Alright, then I’ll handle the silver. Since you’re planning to visit Cao Qingyu, I’ll accompany you tomorrow morning, saving you the trouble of finding your way since you’re new in town."

"I also owe him an apology."

"After all, when he married that woman, I made a straw doll to curse him."

"Hehe."
