Chapter 89: Sister, Please Don’t Forget Me
Chu Ye let her hands fall to her sides, faintly frowning . Then she once again walked towards the two girls . “Stop, stop! Chu Ye, you actually still won’t stop for me…”
The head teacher’s entire body was trembling with fury . Although Lanxi Liuhua had just stated An Fen’er and Bu Moli’s crimes, Chu Ye acted too arrogantly when she beat the two girls so cruelly in public . It was like she held no regard for them teachers .
Moreover, at this time, it was unknown whether they’re still alive .
Turning a deaf ear to his words, Chu Ye didn’t stop until she stood in front of the two . She then crouched to probe the girls’ necks, before standing up again . She lightly said, “Teacher need not be scared . I can confirm that they’re not dead . ”
“You…” The head teacher’s complexion turned ashen . “If they die, you would be a murderer who maliciously killed someone in public . By then, even Vice-Principal Caroline wouldn’t be able to protect you . ”
“Really?” Chu Ye was indifferent . “Unfortunately, they aren’t dead yet . However, if Teacher doesn’t call for a doctor, that may not necessarily be the case anymore . ”
After speaking, she went back to Lanxi Liuhua and the others . “Let’s go . We can leave now . ”
The crowd had had their complete attention on Chu Ye all this time, so it was only after Chu Ye spoke that they realized the East Gate of the Nine-Layer Heavenly Pagoda was already two-thirds open . It would be fully open very soon .
“The gate has opened, the gate has opened . We can go out…” Everyone broke into cheers upon seeing the gate opening .
They chaotically dispersed, all scrambling to be at the front of the line so that they could exit earlier .
Once the East Gate was completely wide open, numerous people flowed out of the pagoda as another group was preparing to come in .
Immediately after exiting the Nine-Layer Heavenly Pagoda, the headteacher requested for a physician for An Fen’er and Bu Moli . And while waiting for the physician’s arrival, he cast a few high-level healing magic on the two girls to soothe their injuries .
The 40+ people from Carles could only wait together .
Meanwhile, the other adventurers have already entered the garrison area and into the Space Transmission Array, which can send people to any part of the Eastern Nation .
“Hey, Woman! I’m leaving now . Come and give me a farewell hug!”
The bewitching man, who stayed with Wan Wan and the hundreds of imperial guards, walked over to Chu Ye with his arms spread wide and with a radiant smile on his face . This increased his demonic charm, making him look more alluring .
“Sure!” Chu Ye followed along with him this time, which was quite rare, and really gave him a proper hug . A hug between friends and nothing else .
From the very start, she already had the feeling that the bewitching man’s identity wasn’t simple, and that it may be difficult to meet him again in the future . Although they initially schemed against each other, they later became friends . Despite the fact that he was secretive and vague with his responses . Despite the fact that she was always vicious to him .
When Chu Ye’s warm and tender figure suddenly got closer, the bewitching man stiffened . His heart pounded, and his eyes were full of disbelief . He didn’t expect that Chu Ye would actually hug him, and his hands froze mid-air . He didn’t know where to place them .
Just when he came to his senses and was about to return a more ambiguous hug, Chu Ye patted his shoulder and stepped back .
She faintly smiled and waved at him . “Goodbye . ”
After pulling back his hand in embarrassment, the bewitching man winked and returned a light smile . “We’ll see each other again soon . ”
Chu Ye’s face twisted in suspicion . Why did she feel like the bewitching man was implying something?
“Bye-bye, everyone . ” Finally, the bewitching man waved at Lanxi Liuhua and the others . He then tried to pull Wan Wan along with him, intending on leaving in advance .
Unexpectedly, Wan Wan swatted his hand and trotted over to Huan Cheng, who stood behind Chu Ye with his sword still in hand .
Her big black eyes held a peculiar light as she looked up at Huan Cheng’s aloof face . “I know that your name is Huan Cheng . I will call you Brother Cheng in the future, okay?”
Huan Cheng didn’t respond . The only reaction that could be seen from him was a slight downturn of his lips .
Wan Wan momentarily fell silent from the awkwardness . However, she was still able to smile afterward, causing her dimples to appear . “My name is Wan Wan, and this is my address . Once you get back to Bian City, come and play with me . I… I’ll be waiting for you,” she said sweetly .

After saying her part, she shoved a slip of paper into Huan Cheng’s hands before running away with a flushed face .
It wasn’t only the bewitching man who was stunned . Even Chu Ye and the others received a big shock too .
It turned out that Wan Wan likes Huan Cheng!
However, after some thought, Chu Ye also felt that there was nothing to make a fuss about . Huan Cheng was an unfettered youth and had a tall and upright figure . Moreover, he always wore black, and paired with his standoffish handsomeness, he was exactly the type that girls like Wan Wan, who only just began exploring their feelings, liked .
The bewitching man’s eyebrows furrowed, and he sent a deep analyzing look towards Huan Cheng . In the end, he said nothing and signaled to the hundreds of imperial guards behind him to keep up with Wan Wan’s pace .
However, as soon as the bewitching man turned around, the slip of paper that was forcibly pushed into Huan Cheng’s hands fluttered to the ground .
Chu Ye saw this and called attention to it with kind intentions . “Huan Cheng, you dropped something . ” At the same time, she glanced at the address on the note out of the corners of her eyes . And seeing the words “Bian City Imperial Palace”, Chu Ye was alarmed . Could the bewitching man and Wan Wan be members of the imperial household?
“That’s not mine . ” Huan Cheng didn’t even look at the note . Then with a cold expression on his face, he added, “I don’t like her . ”
Chu Ye suddenly saw the light . Turned out that Huan Cheng dropping the paper wasn’t accidental but deliberate .
Huan Cheng might always seem aloof and even resembled a frozen stone sculpture at times, but he could be quite perceptive when it came to emotions .
With one glance, he saw through Wan Wan’s thoughts .
“Wan Wan is rather pretty . If she isn’t your type, then what type of girl do you like?” Chu Ye leaned closer to him, wanting to get a bit of gossip .
“Girls like you,” Huan Cheng subconsciously blurted out .
As soon as the words left his lips, even he himself was startled . He awkwardly coughed . “That… I’m leaving now . See you in Bian City . ”
Immediately after speaking, he disappeared from Chu Ye’s sight at lightning speed .

As Chu Ye stared at Huan Cheng’s rapidly fading back, her lips twitched . This child seemed so cool, but in fact… he had rather weak nerves .
Chu Ye didn’t feel any surprise at Huan Cheng’s unintentional divulging of his thoughts .
Because she was aware of just how charming she was!
You might say that she was being narcissistic, but this was a fact .
Therefore, even if all men were to fall in love with her, she wouldn’t find it weird or discomforting .
Lanxi Liuhua scrunched his face into a frown . More and more men seemed concerned for his fiancee . It looked like he had to find a way to… get married as soon as possible .
“Sister . ” At this time, Xiao Dong, who had been keeping his head down, shifted slowly to Chu Ye’s side . “Sister, I… I should also go,” he muttered .
Chu Ye nodded . “En, you… take care of yourself . ” She was no longer angry about Xiao Dong concealing his strength from her because she didn’t feel any malicious intentions from him . But facing Xiao Dong at this time who was about to leave, she didn’t know what to say .
Counting the days since they left the underground cave, Xiao Dong only had 10 days left to live . This parting was likely to be for a lifetime .
“Sister…” Xiao Dong’s eyes were hot and teary, and his voice was wracked with sobs .
How could he not hear the tremble in Chu Ye’s words? Thinking about how he only had 10 more days, he felt miserable . He didn’t hate to part with his unclean life, but… he didn’t want to part with Sister . He really didn’t want to . He wanted to stay by her side day and night for the rest of his life .
But he couldn’t .
There was still Mother, who was treated coldly in their family home . She probably went through a lot of suffering .
As a son, he should let his mother see him for the last time .

After summoning all his courage, he finally managed to say, “Sister, can you hug me too?”
“Okay . ” Chu Ye reached out to wipe his tears . Then he leaned forward and gently hugged Xiao Dong .
“Sister…” Xiao Dong’s arms tightly wrapped around Chu Ye’s waist, and his tears flowed even more fiercely . He would never forget this hug forever . “Sister, please don’t forget me . ”
“I will remember you . ” Chu Ye’s nose slightly stung and her eyes felt hot . These were Xiao Dong’s dying words to her .
“Thank you, Sister . ” Xiao Dong reluctantly let go, wiping the tears on his face and trying to calm himself down . He then stroked the purple belt on his waist, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand .
His belt was a storage spirit tool, much to her surprise . There seemed to be a lot of good things on Xiao Dong’s body .
“Sister, this is for you . ” Xiao Dong handed Chu Ye the jade bottle . Although his eyes held some reluctance, he was resolute . “Sister will need this . ”
“What is it?” Seeing Xiao Dong this serious, Chu Ye had the urge to open it right then and there out of curiosity .
Xiao Dong stopped her . “Sister, wait for me to leave before opening it . ”
“OK,” Chu Ye agreed .
After exhaling a long sigh of relief, Xiao Dong said goodbye to Lanxi Liuhua and the others one by one, before unwillingly turning and walking away .
“Xiao Dong…” Chu Ye clenched the jade bottle in her hand, feeling like her heart was crushed by a ten-tonne boulder . She was so gloomy that she found it hard to breathe . This was the first time she felt this powerless . She had to watch a beloved friend die bit by bit and day by day, unable to help even a little bit .
“Open it and see what Xiao Dong gave you . ” Lanxi Liuhua stared at Xiao Dong’s lonely back and also deeply sighed . In spite of the jealousy in his heart due to the bewitching man and Huan Cheng, he couldn’t muster the slightest bit of jealousy when it came to Xiao Dong .
Chu Ye softly grunted, and unhurriedly removed the cover of the jade bottle . However, after one casual glance, Chu Ye trembled and quickly covered the bottle again . Lanxi Liuhua couldn’t tell whether the emotion that crossed her face was joy or grief .
No one knew Chu Ye better than him . There weren’t many things in this world that could emotionally move Chu Ye .
