The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 221: Offering Myself to You (3)_1

Moreover, as her cultivation proceeded, she found that the spiritual energy absorbed by her body was much more than the usual amount. By the time Situ Xin concluded this session of cultivation, her strength had improved by more than just a bit. Situ Xin had a feeling that her advancement wasn’t far off.

Situ Xin never imagined that such an unintentional act would bring her such benefits.

When Situ Xin finished her cultivation and came out of the space, it was already bright outside. And Baibai had miraculously finished escorting Situ Muli and returned. When Situ Xin emerged from the space, Baibai had already shrunk back to the size of a small cat, curled up and sleeping sweetly on the bed.

After the previous cultivation in the space, although Situ Xin hadn’t slept all night, she felt exceptionally energetic. She didn’t wake Baibai, but instead, quietly opened the door and stepped out. She initially thought she’d be the early riser, only to find out, apart from the sleeping Baibai, she was the last to wake.

"Well, our Xiao Xin got up quite early today," Old Deng said. He had learned from Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo that Situ Xin usually wouldn’t get up until the sun was high, of course, aside from school days, as someone always came to wake her up.

"Indeed." Situ Xin could clearly hear Old Deng teasing her. But she pretended not to know. "Grandpa Deng, do we have any plans for today?" Situ Xin took the initiative to change the subject.

"Today, let’s just tour Xiangjiang," Grandpa Deng said somewhat sentimentally. "It has been many years since I last set foot in Xiangjiang. This time, I want to take a good look and feel the atmosphere of Xiangjiang, which has been away from the motherland’s embrace for so long." As he spoke, excitement was unmistakable on his face.

If Old Deng hadn’t stepped down from his position, he really wouldn’t have been able to set foot on the soil of Xiangjiang ahead of time.

Seeing the look of sentiment on Grandpa Deng’s face and thinking back to how Grandpa Deng faced his demise in her previous life filled with regrets, Situ Xin couldn’t help feeling fortunate that she cured his illness, allowing him to fulfill his heart’s desires.

In the following days, Situ Xin followed Old Deng around, touring the entirety of Xiangjiang. Although she had visited Xiangjiang in her previous life, this time, with Old Deng, the experience was completely different.

During these days, whether it was because the previous assassination attempts all failed or for some other reason, there were no more sneak attacks. Accordingly, those accompanying Old Deng to protect him, along with the people sent by Country Y for the same purpose, remained on high alert, cautiously aware of their surroundings, fearing any mishaps.

As a result, after several days, everyone showed signs of exhaustion. In stark contrast, both Situ Xin and Old Deng glowed with health, especially since Situ Che and Loo Jie were looking much better than the rest, thanks to Situ Xin’s care.

Timepassed as Situ Xin and Old Deng enjoyed touring Xiangjiang. Soon, the date for Xiangjiang’s handover was upon them. On June 30, 1997, the current highest leader of Country H, along with the government delegation of Country Y, arrived in Xiangjiang to attend the handover ceremony.

Situ Xin followed Old Deng to meet with the government delegation of Country Y. When she got there with Old Deng, she never expected to see her grandfather, Old Master Situ, and her maternal grandfather, Old Master Loo, among them.

One must know that her grandfather and maternal grandfather had retired many years ago, usually operating behind the scenes, rarely coming to the forefront. For an event like today, they would not have been present ordinarily.

When Situ Xin saw Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, they also saw her. Old Master Situ looked at Situ Xin with a full-faced smile, while Old Master Loo was keeping a straight face, obviously still angry about her leaving home without permission to come to Xiangjiang. However, the smile hidden in Old Master Loo’s eyes betrayed his current mood.

Old Deng looked at the two old men and, feeling rather helpless, turned to Situ Xin and said, "Girl, your grandpa and maternal grandpa really do spoil you rotten. Look, I had asked them several times to come for the handover ceremony, but they flatly refused. Yet, because they were worried about you, they came chasing after you. Ah, had I known, I wouldn’t have wasted so much breath; I should have simply brought you here in the first place." As Old Deng spoke, his face lightened with a smile.

After regrouping with the main delegation, Situ Xin followed Old Deng to the grand hall of the Xiangjiang Convention and Exhibition Center, where the power transfer ceremony was to take place.

On July 1, 1997, as the national flag of Country H and the flag of Country H Xiangjiang Special Administrative Region slowly rose in Xiangjiang, Situ Xin was overwhelmed with emotion. She had not expected to be fortunate enough to witness this heart-stirring moment with her own eyes. freewēbnoveℓ.com

When the highest leader of Country H solemnly declared the recovery of sovereignty over Xiangjiang and the official establishment of the Country H Xiangjiang Special Administrative Region, Situ Xin saw the excitement on the faces of Old Deng, Old Master Situ, and Old Master Loo. She knew this was the moment they had yearned for over many years, and now it had finally come to pass.

How could they not be excited and moved by a wish fulfilled after so many years?

After the formal return of Xiangjiang, Old Deng did not return with the delegation from Country H but took his private jet back instead.

Old Master Situ and Old Master Lu did not move with the delegation of Country H either. After the handover ceremony concluded, both elder gentlemen started to follow Situ Xin’s lead.

In Old Master Situ’s words, "We were here to look for our granddaughter in the first place. Now that we’ve found her, of course, we’ll stick with her."

After the return of Xiangjiang, smiles never ceased on the faces of the three elder men. Old Deng looked particularly relaxed, as if he had laid down all his burdens. They all made it a point to stay in Xiangjiang for a few more days to savor the breath of the motherland.

Sitting on the plane back, Old Deng picked up his cup and savored the tea brewed by Situ Xin. Glancing at Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, who were also enjoying their tea and pastries, he hesitated slightly before saying, "Situ, Old Lu, I have something I’d like to discuss with you."
