Chapter 106 Peach Tree and Handsome Man

"Assassination? Then how come only Jingyang and Xiyao came back? What about Li'an and Yaoyao?"

Ye Mian genuinely cared about their safety, especially these two.

"The Fourth Miss lured away the assassins, and the Eldest Young Master gave chase. Lord Liu has already sent people to search for them."

"What?" Liu Yunshu felt dizzy after hearing the news and bit her tongue to keep herself from fainting.

"Mother, don't worry, my older brother and younger sister will be alright."

Ye Xiyao quickly helped her up and comforted her, which was also a way of comforting herself.

"Then their fate is unknown? What should we do?" Ye Mian paced back and forth, his face grave.

"Father, don't worry about it. My eldest uncle is looking for them. My eldest brother and younger sister will definitely be found safe and sound by him." Ye Xiyao gave him a cold look.

"That's good, that's good! I'd better go out and find out some information!" Ye Mian said, about to leave.

"God, my children are obedient and filial. Please bless them and keep them safe. Also, may those with ill intentions be struck by lightning."

Liu Yunshu's eyes welled up with tears, and she clasped her hands together, looking up at the sky in prayer.

"Boom! Boom..."

Ye Mian, who had just descended two steps, was struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Everyone stared in astonishment at this amazing scene, speechless.

"This...this is retribution!" Ye Xiyao said softly.

Xin Chuli overheard everything, so could the person who wanted to kill the Ye siblings be Ye Mian? She looked at Ye Mian, who had been struck unconscious by lightning, in disbelief.

"It's going to rain, Ah Li. You've been frightened today. Go home quickly! Your mother is very worried about you."

Liu Yunshu ignored Ye Mian and said while holding Xin Chuli's hand.

"Okay, Aunt Liu, don't be too sad. Brother Ye and Yaoyao will definitely be alright." Xin Chuli said goodbye to them and went home.

After Ye Yaoyao finished eating and drinking inside the cave, she began to wonder why Qin Jingyu was there.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"

"I came to find you," Qin Jingyu replied succinctly.

Ye Yaoyao was surprised; he really had come specifically to find her! Her peach blossom eyes were full of smiles.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

[Ah! I owe this handsome man a life-saving favor again, what should I do? Treating him to a meal is too stingy, System, is this handsome man facing some kind of calamity?]

[No information found. What kind of calamity could the chosen one face? Host, you might as well repay him with your body.]

[Offering herself in return! That seems like a good idea, wouldn't I be getting a great deal?]

Ye Yaoyao secretly glanced at Qin Jingyu and saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

[This handsome man is so good-looking; it feels like only a fairy-like person could be worthy of him.]

[Host, you are the Rain God, you are a fairy.]

[System, do you really think I'm the Rain God?!]

Haha! The rain god of the human world!

Ye Yaoyao naturally didn't believe she could be a fairy, and thought of Liu Yunshu and the triplets.

I didn't go back. My mother and older brother must be terribly worried. They're probably looking for me outside right now.

Ye Yaoyao stared blankly at the firelight.

Are you worried about your family?

Qin Jingyu's voice was gentle, as if it could soothe her inner anxiety.

"Ok!"

"We can't get out now, so if you're tired, just lie down and sleep! You can go back when it's light."

There was a bed of dry grass on the side, and Hanming, who was opposite, was already asleep leaning against the stone wall.

Ye Yaoyao nodded and lay down, with Qin Jingyu sitting cross-legged beside her.

[System, who sent Han Ming?]

I don't know, but you can trust him; he's been protecting you secretly.

[Secretly protecting me? He wouldn't reveal who his master was, so it shouldn't be someone sent by my maternal grandfather. Strange, who else could it be?]

[Host, use your brain a little and try to connect the dots between what you can't figure out.] The system reminded you.

[System, you know that, right?]

The system knows nothing!

Ye Yaoyao stopped asking questions. What she couldn't understand the most was the person at the palace banquet who said that she looked like her.

Someone who looks like me... has someone secretly protecting me...

Ye Yaoyao was lost in her own thoughts and did not feel Qin Jingyu patting her back, trying to help her fall asleep quickly.

Ye Yaoyao was already sleepy, her breathing gradually became steady, and she soon drifted off into a sweet dream.

"Don't think too much about it. He's going back to the city soon. You'll understand when you see him."

Qin Jingyu's voice was so low it was almost inaudible. He watched her fall asleep and then closed his eyes.

Ye Yaoyao had a dream. In her dream, she came to a very beautiful place, surrounded by mist, like a dream, and the fragrance of peach blossoms filled the air.

Beneath a peach tree in full bloom, a man dressed in a silver robe stood with his back to her.

"Handsome man, is that you?" Ye Yaoyao called softly.

The man didn't turn around, and Ye Yaoyao wanted to get closer, but her feet were rooted to the spot and she couldn't move.

The peach tree petals fell, a beautiful pink, and there was a slender silver figure behind her. The scene was extremely beautiful, and for some reason, Ye Yaoyao felt very happy.

Later, all the petals on the peach tree fell off, leaving the entire tree bare.

Ye Yaoyao heard the man sigh with a doting smile:

"Tao Tao, you're being naughty again!"

The voice seemed to come from a distant place, making her feel both familiar and strange.

Ye Yaoyao wanted to go over and see the man's face clearly, and tried hard to break free from the restraints, but she couldn't move.

"Who are you? Turn around and let me see you."

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in, making it impossible for her to open her eyes.

When the wind stopped, the man had vanished, leaving her alone standing under the bare peach tree.

When Ye Yaoyao woke up, she heard a melodious bird song. She glanced at the cave entrance and saw that it was already dawn, and the fire beside her was still burning.

She was the only one in the cave, and she was covered with Qin Jingyu's outer garment.

Lost in thought, gazing at the silver coat, the man in her dream was also dressed in silver.

"Was the person I dreamed of a handsome man?" Ye Yaoyao muttered softly.

[Host, are you dreaming?]

Yes! A silhouette and a peach tree.

System, how long have they been gone?

[It's been a while; everyone else got up as soon as it was getting light, but you're sleeping like a log, host.]

You're the pig! I was so tired yesterday!

As soon as Qin Jingyu entered, he heard Ye Yaoyao and the system arguing, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Wake up and eat something so we can go back."

A roasted pigeon was stuck in the ground next to her. Ye Yaoyao glanced at the extinguished fire opposite her.

Has Hanming left?

[Host, he is a bodyguard and will not reveal himself again.]

Ye Yaoyao handed the clothes to Qin Jingyu, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Is this handsome man the one I've been dreaming of?

Qin Jingyu took the clothes, glanced at her, and thought, "The little thing dreamed about me? Yes, I'm in a good mood."

After eating something, the two headed out the door.

"master!"

"Little sister!"

Ye Lian'an's voice came from not far away, full of surprise and excitement.

They met Lian Jin early in the morning and learned that King Jing was also here. The two groups searched for him together.
