At this time, apart from the fact that his face was still a little pale, there was nothing else unusual about Murong Xiao.

Jiang Ruoli looked at him worriedly, and he gave her a reassuring look in return.

Mother Jiang came to the dining table with the meal.

"Well...Xiaoxiao, can I call you that?" Mother Jiang said with a smile.

Murong Xiao nodded and walked over.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I made some home-cooked dishes. Don't be disgusted if they don't taste good!"

"You're so polite. I'm not picky about food, Aunt Jiang..."

"Hey." Mother Jiang smiled and asked him to sit down, "Hurry up and eat."

Jiang Ruoli and Murong Xiao sat down at the dining table.

During the meal, Mother Jiang kept picking up food for Murong Xiao.

"Eat more. You celebrities usually have to keep in shape, but you don't have to here today."

Mother Jiang picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in Murong Xiao's bowl.

Murong Xiao paused, looking at the ribs in the bowl, his thoughts surging for a moment.

He lowered his head, picked up the ribs, put them in his mouth and took a bite.

The familiar taste filled his entire mouth, awakening his deeply buried memories.

During the countless days when he practiced to the point of collapse, it was this bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs that soothed his body and mind.

A tear fell from her eye and into the bowl.

No one saw it.

When Mother Jiang saw him with his head down and not saying anything, she thought the ribs were not tasty.

"Xiao Xiao, if the ribs don't taste good, don't eat them."

Jiang Ruoli glanced at Murong Xiao and began to persuade Mother Jiang.

"Mom, just let him eat by himself. It makes me feel embarrassed."

"Okay." Mother Jiang responded repeatedly.

She didn't know why, but she felt particularly close to the child and a little distressed when she saw him.

"I'm fine, Auntie, the ribs are so delicious." Murong Xiao raised his head and smiled widely.

"That's good. It's delicious. Eat more."

"Well, thank you, auntie."

Jiang Ruoli looked at the two people interacting in front of her with emotion.

The wish that was not fulfilled in that life was finally fulfilled in this life.

Fate is really wonderful.

-

Shaw Building.

Xiao Yujing opened his eyes for the fourth time.

"Senior, give up." Xu Qingshi advised.

Xiao Yujing's personal will is too strong, and hypnosis is of no use to him.

Xiao Yujing remained silent.

"Senior, this is just a dream. You shouldn't be affected by it."

Xiao Yujing sat up and lowered his head to support his forehead.

"You go first."

"Senior..."

"Let's go."

Xu Qingshi sighed silently, packed up and left.

Xiao Yujing sat alone for a long time.

That was definitely not an ordinary dream.

He had a feeling that next time he would know the whole story.

Xiao Yujing raised his head and looked at the little bamboo rabbit on the coffee table.

It stands quietly on the table, as if waiting for its owner to remember it.

Xiao Yujing closed his eyes, stood up and walked to the desk, opened the drawer and took out the sleeping pills he had placed there before.

He took a glass of water and swallowed the medicine.

Then I lay back down on the sofa, closed my eyes and waited for sleep...

When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was darkness.

He looked up at the sky and found that it was night.

After walking a little further, a palace appeared in front of me.

It was the Hall of Mental Cultivation where he lived.

He saw Murong Xiao in the pavilion speak softly:

"Your Highness, I hope you are well."

Your Highness?

He looked in the direction of his sight and saw himself in his dream standing at the entrance of the palace in a disheveled state.

He saw himself coming.

"Now you are the only one who still calls me Your Highness."

Murong Xiao chuckled.

"And her."

He was stunned, and suddenly his body began to tremble.

"I...I remember now."

Murong Xiao was startled and said with a bitter smile:

"I didn't expect you to remember it. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing for you..."

"......What's the meaning?"

Murong Xiao was silent.

But he thought of something.

"You mean...she's gone forever, right?"

Murong Xiao nodded, then shook his head.

"It's not accurate to say she disappeared forever. She's just not here anymore. She's returned to her world."

"Her world...why is it like this? What do you know?"

Murong Xiao looked at him steadily.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Xiao Yujing, she has already prepared to leave after doing this. She knows that you will forget her."

"But what about you? You know she will never come back. What can you do if you know the whole story? Maybe it will make you more miserable..."

"What about you? Why did you come to see me?" Xiao Yujing in the dream asked, "Whether I think of her or not, you came tonight to tell me the truth."

"Isn't it?"

Murong Xiao choked.

After a while, he slowly spoke.

"Actually, this isn't the first time she's saved you..."

Murong Xiao told him everything that happened in his previous lives, word by word.

After hearing the last part, Xiao Yujing in the dream collapsed.

As he was watching the entire dream, he was shocked beyond words.

Even if it was just a dream, she was so brave in the dream...

The whole dream became quiet for a moment.

Xiao Yujing looked at himself in his dream with his head lowered, his shoulders shaking constantly.

After a while, his crying voice sounded.

"So, she succeeded in this life?"

"......Um."

This was the first time Murong Xiao saw him collapse like this, and he couldn't help but persuade him:

"Xiao Yujing, although I don't know why you can still remember her, she is no longer here. What she wants most is for you and the Jiang family to live well."

Murong Xiao knew how deep his feelings for her were, and was worried that Xiao Yujing would be unable to get over it.

Xiao Yujing remained silent for a long time.

When he raised his head again, there was determination in his eyes.

"I'm going to find her."

"No." Murong Xiao refused immediately.

It's "no", not "can't".

Xiao Yujing stared at him with his sharp eyes.

"Why not? You were originally planning to go to her world to find her."

Murong Xiao was stunned for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"You figured this out..."

"Yes, I do plan to go find her, but you can't."

"Why?" he asked anxiously.

"If you leave, what will happen to your people in Dacheng?"

Xiao Yujing paused.

Yes, he can't abandon the people of Dacheng.

He hung his head dejectedly.

"But there is a solution..." Murong Xiao suddenly said.

Xiao Yujing raised his head suddenly, "What method?"

"Fifteen years. I can delay the Southern Dynasty's secret technique for fifteen years. This period of time is enough for you to do many things."

"But I can't guarantee what will happen when you go to her world. You might not be able to find her. You might... never remember her for the rest of your life."

"......Why?"

"The secret arts of the Southern Dynasty come at the cost of one's life span in this life. The shorter one's life span, the less effective the secret arts are. You should have been dead, but she tried hard to save your life. Even if you didn't use the secret arts of the Southern Dynasty, you wouldn't have lived past fifty."

Xiao Yujing was silent for a long time.

"how about you?"

"Me?" Murong Xiao chuckled, "I am the Holy Maiden of Lingjia, so the effect of the secret technique naturally has no effect on me..."
