Chapter 2347: Chapter 2351: Dream
Thinking of how he and Ye Xingbei stood with Xiao Shumiao’s hands in theirs, one on each side, in front of everyone, his heart felt tender as if it had melted into water. He kissed Ye Xingbei’s lips again lightly, "Good night, my dear..."
Ye Xingbei suddenly opened her eyes again, "Are we going to the small town where I used to stay when I was little tomorrow afternoon?"
"Yes," Gu Junzhu pulled her into his arms, closing his eyes, "Brother Ting and Brother Chuan will head back tomorrow morning, and in the afternoon, we’ll set off for your beloved hometown."
"Mm," Ye Xingbei also closed her eyes, nestling into his embrace, "I’m really looking forward to it."
Gu Junzhu smiled with his eyes closed and kissed her, "Actually, that can’t really be considered your hometown, right? Your hometown is Jiang City."
"To me, that small town is my hometown," Ye Xingbei said, "Although I’m not from there, I’ve been there since I can remember." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"As you wish," Gu Junzhu said indifferently, "Tomorrow afternoon’s flight requires two layovers, and we’ll arrive at that small town the morning after."
"Mm," Ye Xingbei kissed him, "Let’s sleep, we’ll talk about it tomorrow..."
After saying this, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, she woke up in Gu Junzhu’s arms, her eyes gazing blankly at the ceiling.
"Good morning, dear..." Gu Junzhu pinched her nose tip, "What’s wrong? Still not fully awake?"
Ye Xingbei blinked, returning from her dream, "I just had a very fantastical dream, a very beautiful dream, like experiencing another life, it felt amazing."
"Oh?" Gu Junzhu asked with great interest, "What kind of beautiful dream left you so enchanted?"
Ye Xingbei was indeed deeply enchanted.
Though she was awake, her spirit was still immersed in the world of her dreams.
"It was a fantastical world," Ye Xingbei asked Gu Junzhu, "Have you ever watched fantasy films? The ones beautifully dreamy and ethereal."
Gu Junzhu nodded, "Of course."
"What I dreamed of was just such a world," Ye Xingbei said, "I dreamed of a cultivation sect, with scenery so beautiful, white clouds drifting, an ethereal atmosphere."
"In this sect I dreamed of, there was a Sect Leader and a Vice Sect Leader, the two were brothers."
"The Sect Leader had six disciples and a daughter."
"The Sect Leader cherished his daughter deeply, and his purpose in adopting the six disciples was to protect her."
"Those six disciples were all orphans, all of whom, at their most desperate moments, had the Sect Leader appear before them, asking if they were willing to sell their souls."
"If those orphans agreed, he would save them, take them back to the sect, and accept them as disciples."
"The Sect Leader had only one condition for accepting them as disciples, and that was to pledge their loyalty to his daughter, to protect her."
"The Sect Leader and the Vice Sect Leader were both characters of mixed good and evil, possessed great abilities, and cared for nothing in the world but their daughter and niece."
"They expanded the sect, taking in six disciples, countless Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples, just so their daughter could grow up carefree like a princess."
"Later, the Sect Leader’s six disciples and his daughter all grew up."
"One day, as he and his brother were about to break through their cultivation level and retreated to cultivate, enemies arrived."
"Although the little princess grew up pampered, she was the most skilled in the sect aside from the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader. She had an astounding talent, learning everything faster than ordinary people, her six senior brothers couldn’t match her cultivation level."
