Chapter 358: 359

Bid You Farewell Today

The two were so sweet and happy that it made the people around highly envious. They suddenly felt it was really great to have a wife who could fight side by side. No matter where they went, there was no need to separate.

The following event, thanks to Lin Zhizhao’s “betrayal”, Mo Linyuan easily knew that this time, Zhao Country had dispatched no less than five thousand people.

Besides the people who conspired against him two days ago, and also the earlier two groups that were eliminated, there should be three thousand people left.

Their ranks were only five hundred, so eliminating them in a short time would be quite difficult.

Ye Mu said, “I think it’s better to act quickly. How about this, we find a squadron to disguise as us two and lead Zhao Country’s people away, and the rest will quickly find the treasure, lest a long night fright with dreams*. How about it?”

*a long night fright with dreams – trouble comes after a delay

This indeed was the fastest and the simplest way, so after everyone discussed for a while, they decided as such!

Their troops divided into three roads: one to find the people of Zhao Country, and then lure them to a fixed location; another was in charge of fleeing and leading those people away; and the rest naturally followed Ye Mu to find the City Boundary Map.

Seeing them still discussing, Lin Zhizhao stood up. Facing everyone, he said, “I’ll find a place to bury my mother.”

Mo Linyuan and the others frowned. After all, Lin Zhizhao’s status among them was very awkward, so it was Ye Mu who stood and said, “I’ll go with him, all of you continue discussing.”

Seeing Ye Mu stood up, everyone became at ease. After all, Ye Mu was His Majesty’s quasi-empress. With her around, Lin Zhizhao wouldn’t play some wicked trick.

Then, Ye Mu followed Lin Zhizhao out.

“Why bury your mother here? It won’t be convenient for you to see her in the future!” Ye Mu said, feeling odd.

Lin Zhizhao smiled. Although he just ate an antidote, his face was still pale, though his vigor was a little better. He said, “No need, I plan to wander around the world in the future, I don’t know when I’ll be back. The scenery here is enchanting*, it’s suitable for my mother to sleep eternally in and be secluded from the rest of the world.”

*lit. tl of raw is “this place has green hills and clean waters (idiom))

Ye Mu looked around. It was all primeval forest here with no human trace. It was indeed a good place for a peaceful sleep.

“You plan to leave?” Ye Mu only got along with him for a few days, yet she genuinely was reluctant to part with this friend, just like with Zhao Mingyu. “Why do you want to leave? It’s exhausting to wander everywhere. Is it not good to stay in Mo Country?”

Lin Zhizhao then suddenly smiled, revealing his two dimples. He looked at her with sparkling eyes. “You must not be hating to lose me right now, right? Mo Linyuan must not hear these words, or else I won’t leave alive.”

Seeing him still cheeky at this time, Ye Mu gave a smile, diminishing her sad thoughts. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Look at you, you’re already twenty-something and look like someone who can’t truss a chicken*. You didn’t study feng shui until quintessence, and the only eyes of heaven disappeared, too. You didn’t succeed in anything. You won’t die from hunger out there, will you?”

*can’t truss a chicken – physically very weak

The moment Lin Zhizhao listened, he put up a scared expression. “Then until then, I’ll come back. Will you give me food? I don’t eat a lot, really!”

He was merely joking, but Ye Mu unexpectedly said in earnest, “Any time you’re tired from gallivanting, Mo Country will definitely have food for you.”

He was stupefied. He didn’t know how to respond for a while, but heard Ye Mu sigh. Looking ahead, she said, “I don’t like this era. Between people, communication is so little, the distance is too far, disasters are too many. There is always a farewell, never seeing each other again.” Her small face was solemn. She thought of a certain person and felt more melancholic.

“I don’t like to bid farewell, but there are so many people whom I think are interesting leaving me in the end.”

Lin Zhizhao stared at her, those sweet dimples indescribably catching a little bitterness.

Then, he took out the sole mirror left by his mother and handed it to Ye Mu.

“Can you help me split it into two?”

Right now, Ye Mu had regained some internal energy, but she was puzzled. “Isn’t this the only thing left of your mother?”

Lin Zhizhao pressed on, “Hurry, split it into two.”

Ye Mu weirdly walked over, and extremely carefully, used force to split the beautiful colored glaze mirror into two.

Lin Zhizhao took half of it, and gave the other half to Ye Mu. “I’m letting you hold onto this!”

Ye Mu smiled. “Are you for real, you damaged the only mirror left by your mother for me to keep as a keepsake?”

Lin Zhizhao mysteriously said, “This is not an ordinary keepsake. If I don’t have anything to eat in the future, I’ll hold this and find you to request a meal.”

Ye Mu listened and looked at him genuinely. The young man in front of her eyes still looked as pale as before, looking very distracted with a smile that formed two dimples. He looked very small.

But there was something filling his eyes that wasn’t there before. Ye Mu thought, maybe it was the belief in redeeming hope!

So she simply accepted it, and said with a smile, “Let’s go, let’s find a suitable burial ground.”

In the end, they decided on a small hillside that seemed decent, and buried the remains under the foot of the hill.

While doing all this, Lin Zhizhao’s heart was especially calm.

For so many years, he had often come to this place, well aware that his mother had died, well aware that he would not find an answer. But because of his obsession, he repeatedly came.

Today, his mother was found. He first thought at this point, he would lose all his life’s hope. Unexpectedly, in the span of a few days, he had gained his hope in Ye Mu.

Life belonged to himself, he didn’t want to take revenge on his father anymore. To come and go for a period of time for the two maps, he had wasted more than twenty years of his life. Later, it was time to live for himself.

Ye Mu saw Lin Zhizhao knock his head three times in a loud kowtow. He neither left a tombstone nor left a mark. Even if he wanted to come next time, he would not be able to find his mother. Or maybe, this was his proof of letting go.

After everything was done, they started heading back. Before long, Lin Zhizhao suddenly said, “Uh, I want to relieve myself.”

Ye Mu waved her hand. “Go. There might be people from Zhao Country here, be careful by yourself.”

Lin Zhizhao listened, deeply staring at her.

“Okay, I’m leaving.”

After saying this, he turned his head, and walked away without looking back.

Ye Mu waited in the same place, but after waiting for a long time, she didn’t see Lin Zhizhao coming back. Feeling odd, she went over to check, but found a few lines of neat writing on the exposed ground.

“I’m going. I don’t know if I’ll come back. No need to look for me, I’ll be careful, avoid Zhao Country’s people, begin my new life travelling the world.

“I also won’t look for the treasure anymore. I used to be set on that thing, but now, I think it’s alright, so cherish it! May I bid you farewell today, and have a reunion someday.”

The name of the sender was the two characters: Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao—it must be his real name. Ye Mu gazed at it, and lightly smiled. She erased the writings after a good while.

She sincerely hoped they could see each other again, too.
