Yin Huaixi smiled. That way, I can feel more at ease.

Yu Youyao subconsciously asked, Are you leaving? After asking, she seemed to realize something and looked a little fl.u.s.tered. She subconsciously lowered her head and pursed her lips slightly. When she looked up again, other than her face still turning a little pale, she had already regained her composure. Thats true. You still need to manage the overall situation in the North. Youve delayed things a lot in Quanzhou. She lowered her eyes and picked up her teacup. She lowered her head and took a sip to hide it. When do you plan to leave?

Yin Huaixi suddenly stood up.

Yu Youyao was used to seeing Yin Huaixi sitting in a wheelchair, looking graceful and n.o.ble and holding a chess piece in his hand. Only then did Yu Youyao truly realize that the person in front of her was slender and sharp, like a rugged mountain that was majestic and powerful.

There were eight hards.h.i.+ps in life. They are the four sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death, plus the suffering of having to part from those whom one loves, the suffering of having to meet with those whom one hates, the suffering of being unable to obtain what one desires, and the suffering arising from the five senses that const.i.tute ones body and mind.

There were five types of Yin: seasons, organs and body systems, senses, colors and tastes

The five Yin types were hot like flames.

There were many reasons that could affect the five Yin types.

If five Yin types were burning, there would be many barriers in the heart.

If there was a barrier in her heart, she would suffer for a long time and not be free.

There were eight hards.h.i.+ps in life. Yin Huaixi was not old but he would experience it in the future. He had endured the other seven hards.h.i.+ps one by one.

Yin Huaixi had been struck by the fickleness of the world. He had been cut and tortured by all kinds of suffering in life. After being cut and grinded, he looked calm and majestic.

Yin Huaixi squatted in front of Yu Youyao and took out the embroidered fish token. You also have a jade pendant like this.

Yu Youyaos eyes widened. Before her grandmother died, she had given her a similar jade pendant and instructed her to keep it well and not lose it. She had originally thought that this was a memento from her grandmother.

But that did not seem to be the case now.

She was a little stunned!

Yin Huaixi asked her, Do you have the jade pendant with you?

I-I do. Yu Youyao nodded in a daze. As it was a relic of her grandmother, she had to wear items from her family when she was alive to express her sorrow. Therefore, after her grandmother pa.s.sed away, she carried the jade pendant with her.

Yin Huaixi chuckled. Take it out!

Oh, okay, Ill take it out immediately. Yu Youyao acted like she received an order. She answered and moved immediately. She quickly lowered her head and took out an arrogant yellow jade pendant from the pouch at her waist.

The small fish lay in her soft palm like a crescent moon.

Yin Huaixi took the small fish pendant from her hand. Look carefully.

Okay! Yu Youyao blinked and stared at it without blinking. There were two brocade fishes in Yin Huaixis hand, one red and one yellow. They looked obedient, soft, and cute.

Yin Huaixi let out a low laugh and moved the red and yellow jade pendants closer.

Ding Yu Youyao clearly heard a soft, pleasant, clear, and pure sound, like the the waves of river water that flowed gently. With this heavenly sound, in her eyes, the two jade pendants, one red and one yellow, fused into one. The curved two fishes turned into one round pendants with their heads and tails combined.

The pendant was complete and round.

Ah Yu Youyao exclaimed in surprise.

Yin Huaixi held her hand and solemnly placed the round pendant into her palm. Did you see anything?

Yu Youyao picked up the jade pendant and observed it a few times. With a gentle twist, the round pendant that had become one became two curved fish again. The heads and tails of the two small fishes connected, and it became a round pendant.

She seemed to have realized something and pursed her lips. These two jade pendants are Her mouth suddenly felt a little dry, and her voice suddenly became dry and hoa.r.s.e. Theyre a pair?! With that, she quickly lowered her head.

Yin Huaixi nodded. Yes, theyre a pair!

After receiving the affirmation, Yu Youyao looked up at him, wanting to ask him why the other jade pendant was with Yin Huaixi. However, when the words reached her lips, she hesitated.

Actually, the answer was already obvious.

However, she did not dare to think about it.

She did not dare to ask.

She shouldnt ask.

Yin Huaixi knew what she wanted to ask. l asked Matriarch for this jade pendant before she died.

Although at that time, he had promised Matriarch not to tell Yu Youyao about the token for the time being,

However, there was no clear way to determine how much of this was a temporary situation. At the very least, for now, the Xie family had already admitted that the token was effective.

In that case, it meant that he had received the approval from his elders.

He was about to return to Youzhou. He couldnt see her for a few months. If he didnt reveal this to her, he wouldnt be able to address the elephant in the room in the future. There was still a barrier between the two of them, so he couldnt feel at ease.

Previously, he had promised Old Master Xie that he would discuss the marriage three years later, but he had not promised him that he would not let Yu Youyao know his intentions.

He had only taken out the token, but he had not mentioned anything about the marriage.

As for what Yu Youyao would think after seeing the token, that was not something he could control. If Old Master Xie found out, it couldnt be his fault.

There was too much information that was new, making Yu Youyao feel a little dizzy. Why did Grandmother Why did she want to give you the other half of the jade pendant?!

It was clearly a pair of jade pendants, but they were divided into two and given to her and Yin Huaixi for safekeeping?!

In a flash, Yu Youyao thought of Ye Hanyuan and Yin Ruochas vow.

It was also because Ye Hanyuan admired the princess that he had asked King Li of Zhou to give him a token as proof of the alliance between him and the princess in the future.

Was Yin Huaixi the same?!

Was this double fish jade pendant also Yin Huaixis oath to her?

Yu Youyao had too many questions in her heart. In the end, she only asked,

Do Grandfather and the others know about the jade pendant?

If all of this was arranged by her grandmother before she died, she definitely could not surpa.s.s the Xie Residence.

Yin Huaixi nodded. The last time I visited the elders of the Xie family, I mentioned this to Old Master.

With just a simple sentence, Yu Youyao understood everything. As a woman, she shouldnt have mentioned such things in private. Since her elders hadnt asked her about it, she shouldnt have asked too much.

However, there was one thing. Yin Huaixi had taken the initiative to mention this today after gaining the approval from the elders.

Yu Youyao had a strange feeling in her heart. It was different from the past when she had eaten green plum fruit. Instead, it felt like the green plum fruit she had eaten with Eldest Aunt in the restaurant today.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She couldnt help but ask, Youve been in Quanzhou for so long. Have you eaten any green plum fruits?

Werent they talking about a token? Why did they suddenly change the topic? Yin Huaixi was slightly stunned. l heard that its a special type of green fruit. Its one of the specialties of Fujian. Ive never eaten it before.

Yu Youyao knew that he did not like sweet and sour food. It was not surprising that he had never eaten it before. She only pursed her lips and chuckled. l think its delicious. 1 like it very much..
