Chapter 256 The Person Who Will Never Come

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

As soon as he wanted to leave, Jianjia’s master heard Bai Aoxue’s voice.

“Although I am a little offensive, I still want to seek confirmation. I heard Jianjia said that you are waiting for someone; besides, Jianjia learns spears. So… are you Qi Tiance who has disappeared for a long time?” Bai Aoxue said softly.

The big figure of the man shocked unconsciously, but it was perceived by Bai Aoxue who was looking at him.

Originally, Bai Aoxue was a little uncertain. After seeing the man’s slightly stunned body, Bai Aoxue was more and more firm.

“Hey… Sister Aoxue, how do you know the name of my master? I have not told you yet.” The man was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Jianjia’s puzzled voice.

Hearing that, Bai Aoxue smiled unsurprisingly, “Jianjia, you are unknown that your master is very famous in all corners of the country. It’s impossible that I don’t know him.”

Upon hearing this, Jianjia said happily, “Really?! I thought my master is an unknown junior! Sister Aoxue, tell me about my master’s deeds!”

Bai Aoxue looked at the happy Jianjia, thinking that no wonder she would be so happy. Because Qi Tiance never told her that.

“Jianjia, you go out to collect the herbs first. There is something for me and this sister to say.” Qi Tiance said slowly, looking at Jianjia.

But judging from the corners of his eyes, he was also a bit wary of Bai Aoxue.

When Jianjia heard Qi Tiance’s words, she was somewhat angry and said, “Master, you never tell me anything about the outside. Now Sister Aoxue tells me that, but you won’t let me listen to!”

After saying, she turned around madly without looking at Qi Tiance.

“Jianjia, if you want to know, you could wait for a while and let this sister tell you. Now, I and this sister have something to talk about.” Qi Tiance looked at Jianjia, saying somewhat helplessly.

When Jianjia heard Qi Tiance’s words, her eyes lightened slightly. And she turned to Qi Tiance said, “Well then, Master, you must keep your word!”

Her petty figure showed a little reluctant.

Qi Tiance nodded and waved to Jianjia as a hint to leave.

And Jianjia was happy and went out to pack herbs for Qi Tiance.

After Jianjia left, Qi Tiance turned and looked at Bai Aoxue with a bit of concealed killing in his eyes.

“Who are you?” Indifferent tone was less soft than when he was talking with Jianjia.

Looking at Qi Tiance like this, Bai Aoxue was not afraid at all, saying with a smile, “Who am I? You do not need to care. Honestly, I haven’t expected I will meet you here.”

“What do you mean?” Qi Tiance said confusedly while watching Bai Aoxue.

But he didn’t relax for a moment.

“But now think about it, it is not surprising to see you here, along Yanjiang of the Nanyue Dynasty, in the Peach Blossom Mountain. Is the courtyard full of peach trees outside?” Bai Aoxue said at leisure, not answering Qi Tiance’s questions.

When Qi Tiance heard Bai Aoxue say that, his heart skipped a beat.

Tiance, if we dispersed in the future, we would return to Yanjiang of the Nanyue Dynasty and meet each other in the Peach Blossom Mountain.

If I came here first, I would wait for you.

If you arrived here first, you would wait for me.

If you didn’t come, I wouldn’t go.

If I didn’t come, you would wait peacefully.

There was a quiet and tender female voice lingering at this moment, but the female had long disappeared.

And he came back here, and he had been waiting for years.

Seeing Qi Tiance in the trance, Bai Aoxue guessed what he was thinking about. But there was something difficult to say. How could she tell him that his waiting was in vain?

“You… How do you know? Who are you?!” Qi Tiance looked at Bai Aoxue surprisingly, saying with a trembling voice.

Did he felt something, or did he already have the answer?

Not even himself was clear.

“You have disappeared for so many years. It is normal that you are not informed. As for how I know, of course, it’s the person you are thinking about who told me. I do not expect that I haven’t found you anywhere, but I am so lucky to be rescued by you when I was about to die.” Bai Aoxue frowned and said gently.

The words were full of ridicule for the fate of people, which was controlled by God.

“She… Where is she now? Why don’t she come back?” Qi Tiance said with some difficulty, staring at Bai Aoxue momentarily. He was afraid to miss any expression of Bai Aoxue.

“If you want to see her, I can take you there.” Bai Aoxue opened her red lips and looked at Qi Tiance with some darkness in her eyes.

“She misses you so much that even at the last minute, she asks me to find you and tell you that she can’t go back and you should not wait.” Bai Aoxue looked at Qi Tiance’s urgent appearance and said gently.

With each word, Qi Tiance’s face got paler and paler.

“Last minute? What are you talking about?! What does the last minute mean?!” Qi Tiance withdrew a few steps back and said stunned with a little emptiness in his eyes.

“Helian Cangyue passed away in March when peach flowers were in blossom! I met her in Chengxi Dynasty when she had the last breath to live. But until then she still missed you; and now, I have successfully found you.” Bai Aoxue remembered the beautiful woman who was with some stubborn expression in eyes similar to her. But she had more feelings of the vicissitude of the earth.

“Oh… I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! I came back and waited for her. I never leave here, just waiting for her to come back! I need nothing but her. Well, as for fame and ambitions, I don’t want any of them! I just wait for her to come back! I don’t believe what you said!” Qi Tiance smiled bitterly with inexplicable pain in his eyes.

“You know that, don’t you? She stood behind you, watching you leave her. But you never looked back, didn’t you? She couldn’t wait for you, so she came to find you. But you still couldn’t see her, could you? She is gone now. You are waiting for someone who can never come back, aren’t you?” Bai Aoxue looked at Qi Tiance and said coldly.

“Master, she… she said that she would wait for me!” Qi Tiance said slowly, raising his head slightly and closing his eyes in pain.

Each word seemed to have exhausted his full strength.

Bai Aoxue did not fail to know Qi Tiance’s pain. She could feel his pain at this moment.

She heard a lot about Qi Tiance’s legend. Because she asked Jun Yeyan to probe a lot about him for the sake of Helian Cangyue. Every rumor made her admire Helian Cangyue even more.

She was happy for Helian Cangyue, because… such a person was an apprentice of Helian Cangyue!

However, the so-called powerful Qi Tiance in countless rumors was in tears now.

His sad whimper made Bai Aoxue feel a little depressed.

Tears spilled from the seams of his palms covering the eyes.

Bai Aoxue never thought that the man who created countless legends was crying now!

He was crying for the one who could never return…

“If you want, I can take you to see her.” Bai Aoxue said gently after careful consideration.

Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Qi Tiance shivered a bit and then turned around and left quickly.

Bai Aoxue could see how awkward he was when he left, staggering at every step.

Why people couldn’t cherish each other when alive.

Were fame and ambitions really important?

Looking out through the window, Bai Aoxue was stunned for a while.

“Sister Aoxue! What happened to my master?!” Jianjia stumbled into the room and said anxiously to Bai Aoxue.

There were tears in her eyes.

She had never seen such a master whose scarlet eyes were like those of a beast that terrified people.

Moreover, the master picked up the arrows that were not touched for a long time and got away from here. No matter how she shouted, he did not seem to hear it.

After living with her master for so many years, she had never seen him like that.

That desperate feeling made her sad.

Bai Aoxue gently stroked Jianjia’s hair and said gently, “Jianjia, your master is okay. He just needs a vent because he has some pain in his heart that he can’t tell. And it will be fine tomorrow.”

Jianjia didn’t fully understand Bai Aoxue’s words and said, “Sister Aoxue, is the person whom my master is waiting for will not come back? I just… heard your conversation.”

Looking at Jianjia’s shining eyes, Bai Aoxue said with a bitter smile, “Yes, the person whom your master is waiting for can’t come back. Sorry, Jianjia.”

Jianjia didn’t understand why Bai Aoxue said sorry, but she still shook her head and said, “Sister Aoxue , it is not your fault. The master will know about it one day or later. The master told me that the person cherishes him most in the world. The master has waited for her for so many years, but she has never returned. Maybe she has difficulties that are hard to tell, otherwise, she will certainly not leave the master alone.”

Jianjia’s ignorant words made things clear.

“Yes, she said that she would find her Tiance until she was about to die. See, how much she cares about your master.” Bai Aoxue said gently.

The flowers swaying outside the window were fragile but strong.

“When Sister Aoxue recovers, let’s go and see the one who cares most about the master,” Jianjia said, looking up at Bai Aoxue with hope.

Bai Aoxue nodded gently and said, “Well, wait for a few days. Let’s go to see her.”

Bai Aoxue and Jianjia were talking, but Qi Tiance had come to the periphery of the Peach Blossom Mountain at this moment. He was standing on a high cliff and looking at the rushing river.

When he was young, he thought he must be successful when he was alive, and he must make a great reputation in all corners of the country.

But when he looked back suddenly, he realized that fame and gain were all empty, and he lost more than he got.

He thought that his master would always wait for him, but he never thought that one day he would even lose her.

The woman told him to go and return together. She said she would always follow him.

She had a clear smile and bright eyes. Sometimes, she was as gentle as a woman walking out of the rain of Jiangnan towns.

She was always behind him, waiting for him, following him, protecting him.

But he always found out how precious all that was after losing it.
