Chapter 242 It Must Be Done
Unbeknownst to Qi Ye, beneath his seemingly serene and innocent smile, a dark, gloating thought was about to burst forth like a flood.
Wei Ying and the others were so engrossed in their conversation and laughter that they lost track of time.
After about the time it takes to drink three cups of tea, it was nearly dawn, and Qi Ye quickly reminded the group who were engrossed in their conversation.
After receiving the reminder, Wei Ying and Wei Chaoyan exchanged a reluctant glance before dejectedly returning to their respective rooms on the right.
Because Liu the Butcher had limited empty rooms, Wei Ying, Qi Ye, Lan Zhan, and Qing Yan squeezed into the large side room in the middle on the right, while Wei Chaoyan had a small side room against the wall all to himself.
Exhausted from the day, the group quickly washed up and collapsed onto their beds, falling asleep instantly. The night passed without incident.
As the silver moon faded and the first hint of dawn appeared, a rooster with a bright comb strutted out of its burrow, full of energy. Just as it was about to crow with its head held high, the sound of a wooden door being pushed open shattered the silence of the entire courtyard.
The two people who stepped out of the door exchanged a smile, then tacitly gathered their strength and leaped swiftly from the small courtyard where they had spent the night, heading straight for the nearest deserted spot in the suburbs to begin their daily morning exercise.
In an instant, in this desolate place, figures flickered and shifted, swords flashed and crisscrossed, and the aura of blades was chilling and unstoppable...
Even Wei Chaoyan, whose cultivation talent was the lowest among them, wielded a short sword skillfully, displaying great power and imposing presence. It was clear that he had a solid foundation and was not just putting on a show.
And so it went, until the golden crow, impatient to break free from the thick shackles of eternal night, boldly swallowed all the darkness, and unrestrainedly and generously scattered its warm, golden-orange light across the entire earth.
The four people who had started the activity stopped what they were doing in an orderly manner, put away their weapons at the same time, and returned to the Liu family courtyard before the sleeping Doctor Wen and others got up in the morning. They quickly prepared everything, and then each of them carried several bowls of hot water to open the door, so that the people who had just woken up inside could come out and take the hot water to wash up, and then go out to eat.
What follows is nothing more than the heartwarming daily life of Doctor Wen and Granny Yang taking Wei Ying and the others to visit other old friends, as well as the ordinary but warm and sweet married life of Butcher Liu and his new wife, so I won't go into too much detail here.
Time flies by, and seven warm and cozy days pass in the blink of an eye.
On the 18th of this month, at mealtime, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was clear and cloudless.
At the entrance to the mountain path a hundred miles from Yiling Town toward the mass grave, Wei Chaoyan frowned, her brows furrowing into eighteen bun-like wrinkles. She held onto Wei Ying's waist belt tightly, her face filled with worry as she earnestly delayed, saying, "A-Ying, A-Zhan, let's not go! I feel it's too dangerous. How about we prepare for a few more days before coming back?"
Wei Ying placed his hand on Wei Chaoyan's hand, trying to pry her delicate hand away, but her hand was held tightly. Wei Ying was reluctant to hurt his sister's hand, so he could only lower his head and sigh dejectedly, "Sister, stop fooling around (ー_ー)!! You know that Lan Zhan and I absolutely have to go on this trip!"
Wei Ying spoke earnestly, but Wei Chaoyan, adhering to the spirit of burying her head in the sand, lowered her head and pretended not to hear, remaining silent and not letting go of his grip.
The main message is "I know, but I just don't want to let go!"
After several unsuccessful attempts to pull him away, Wei Ying sighed and blinked his watery peach blossom eyes, frantically sending out distress signals to Lan Zhan, who was all ready to go, and Qi Ye and Qing Yan, who were watching the show with their arms crossed.
After a brief standoff, Qi Ye, having had his fill of entertainment, stepped forward and approached Wei Chaoyan's side. While solemnly explaining the dire consequences of Lan and Wei's failed trip, he seized the opportunity when Wei Chaoyan's grip loosened and swiftly and skillfully tapped her clenched knuckles.
Stimulated by this series of blows, Wei Chaoyan reflexively loosened her grip, and at this moment, Qi Ye successfully freed Wei Ying's pitiful black waist sash with dark patterns.
"Sister, don't worry so much!" Seeing that his poor waist belt had finally escaped Wei Chaoyan's clutches, Wei Ying was overjoyed, but he couldn't bear to see Wei Chaoyan's disappointed and worried face.
He then offered words of comfort: "Lan Zhan and I are frequent visitors to this mass grave; we know it very well! Moreover, we previously rehearsed this entire trip dozens of times with Zhao Yumin and the others in the space, ensuring the safety of every step!"
"Therefore, I can guarantee that Lan Zhan and I will emerge from the Burial Mound of Yiling safely, if not without obstacles!"
