Chapter 1214: 1158 Reality [End] _4
In a not-so-distant meeting room, the super-velocity electromagnetic cannon lay uncamouflaged— with just the flip of a switch, everyone would be reduced to fragments in the ensuing resonance destruction.
Clearly, Falcon and his people had been waiting here for some time.
"I know Lady Shaohua advised us to take this path, but... what if Lady Shaohua is also mistaken?" The Butler gazed at Mu Xingzhi, then knelt down resolutely, "Young Master! Today is your oath-signing day with Amos, and many people are watching you. Please... please listen to us!"
Mu Xingzhi regarded him indifferently with a glance and remained silent, directly heading towards the meeting room.
The Butler frantically picked up his cell phone and tried to dial Ye Shaohua’s number, but it was unreachable.
He held immense respect for Ye Shaohua, but at that moment, for an instant, he also doubted her. He wanted to ask whether she shared the same fear of Mu Xingzhi’s position as the others...
"They’ve all said their piece, why aren’t you leaving?"
A familiar voice rang out beside his ear.
The Butler was momentarily stunned, then turned his head to see Ye Shaohua standing behind him, her gaze calmly passing over him and falling on Mu Xingzhi’s face.
Her delicate features slightly shadowed by her eyelashes, her eyes betrayed a touch of coldness.
Mu Xingzhi’s eyes lingered on the piece of paper in her hand. After a moment of surprise, he finally spoke, "You told me not to go, so naturally I trust you."
His tone was matter-of-fact.
Ye Shaohua stiffened. Looking at Mu Xingzhi, her lips twitched slightly, "You..."
Five years ago, her acquaintance with Mu Xingzhi was not extensive, and she wanted to know why he was so certain...
Mu Xingzhi glanced at her and spoke softly, "Do you remember the items arranged in your room when you woke up in Charmes Garden?"
Ye Shaohua choked up, then clenched her fists again, "The one I handed you that day?"
Mu Xingzhi nodded.
Five years ago.
The punishment from Ye Shaohua’s master marked the beginning of her realization that something was amiss. Previously, her master would only scold her for taking on tasks beyond her capabilities, but that time, he nearly took her life, and no one on South Island could persuade him otherwise.
Later, while convalescing on West Island, she knew her master had visited her in secret.
She wasn’t too surprised when her master died, as she had anticipated it. He feared her strength was too fragile, toughening her up, and in his final moments, advised her not to reveal her full potential. Yet, in the end, she was still envied by the likes of the Rong family and other influential clans.
After being rescued by Mu Xingzhi, fully aware of Nie Jinyu’s jealousy, she volunteered for exile from the island.
South Island, always closed off, could barely maintain its daily expenses.
Ye Shaohua stood alone. Before leaving, everyone was deeply reluctant to let her go, so she gave away her commonly used belongings.
On that day, Mu Xingzhi also received news of her departure, his mood heavy.
When Ye Shaohua casually tossed a gun at Mu Qiu in front of him and prepared to leave, Mu Xingzhi finally couldn’t help but look at her.
Seventeen-year-old Ye Shaohua seemed to understand his look, put her hands in her pockets, raised her eyebrows, and yawned wearily, "As part of the Mu Family, do you lack anything?"
Mu Xingzhi subtly tilted his head, his expression cool and detached.
"Go train," he said indifferently with a glance at Mu Qiu.
Ye Shaohua carelessly plucked a plum blossom and tossed it to him, nonchalantly adding, "Fine, take it, I have to go. If I leave the island any later, I won’t find a place to stay!"
"I thought you truly picked it at random." Mu Xingzhi watched her quietly.
Although proud and arrogant, Mu Xingzhi knew that Ye Shaohua couldn’t be trapped by either island. At that time, he was in no position or had the right to ask her to stay. He knew he was extraordinary, moving between two worlds.
When the time came, he would return to his family.
Even if it felt like Ye Shaohua had picked the flower casually, he had it carefully preserved.
Upon hearing his words, Ye Shaohua closed her eyes, "You saw it?"
"On July 27th, while West Island was being refurbished, I was preparing to leave for Dongling," Mu Xingzhi’s fingers trembled slightly, "They... they returned all the items I commonly used in class to me."
At that time, Mu Xingzhi originally didn’t want to take them but, after some thought, had them shipped to Dongling.
When they were being taken away, he spotted secret inscriptions under his desk.
Five wildly written cursive characters—
Folding plums to send to the north.
"Those inscriptions are mine; I remember very clearly whether I carved them," Mu Xingzhi stated firmly, looking at Ye Shaohua, "Only you... your cursive writing was learned from me, the first poem I taught you."
Folding plums to send to the north.
The southern wind knows my intentions.
It was then that he realized if he hadn’t seen it by chance, he might never have known.
In her youth, Ye Shaohua bore many burdens. Despite being wary of others’ jealousies, her pride wouldn’t let her bow down. She was determined to fight for South Island for life. She had almost no place among those above who doubted her.
"When you left the island, did you feel like you had no way out, so you kept everything to yourself, indifferent to everything?" Mu Xingzhi’s eyes reddened, "But Ye Shaohua, what right did you have... what right did you have not to tell me?!"
When Mu Xingzhi saw the words she carved, he finally understood, but he hadn’t yet gotten the chance to do anything.
Nor had the opportunity to confirm it with her.
"Just..." Mu Xingzhi bit his lip, staring intently at Ye Shaohua, "then I heard the news of your death in the ME building."
Ye Shaohua finally came to terms with it.
The tears finally fell.
Mu Xingzhi took a step forward and embraced her.
"Both of you," Falcon’s voice came from not too far, speaking in fluent English, "Are you done talking? Ready to die together here?"
His men around him were holding the super-sonic electromagnetic cannon.
"I was prepared to take only Mu Xingzhi’s life, but both of you are thorns in my side..." freēwēbnovel.com
At that time, the Butler finally came to his senses, urgently raising his head, "Young Master, Lady Shaohua, retreat!"
Ye Shaohua lifted her head and took two steps forward.
She handed the potion she had prepared in the lab to the Butler and Mu Xingzhi.
Falcon hastily pressed the switch, but nothing changed.
He looked up in shock at Ye Shaohua, who stood there serenely, "Didn’t they tell you, I am ’Chang’?"
Mu Xingzhi’s men finally arrived by another route, capturing Falcon and sending him to international imprisonment.
Dawn broke through.
Guang Ya says: Chang, means to pass through.
