Chapter 332 There's Something More Important
"Brother, Buyu, how did you get here..."
"New brother! Sister Yan, I want to see the new brother!"
Xie Xuanji jumped in front of them, her big, round eyes staring straight at Xin Moling.
Her handsome face made her exclaim "Wow!" in an exaggerated way, her eyes sparkling, completely captivated by the looks of this exotic man.
"What a handsome brother, just as handsome as the Emperor."
"Holy crap! Is that white hair dyed or natural? It's so cool!" Hua Buyu casually picked up a small, snow-white braid and couldn't help but marvel.
"Little girl, is your hair natural?"
"Hello, brother! I'm Xing'er. Sister Yan and I are the best of friends."
"Yan'er, who is this young lady?" Xin Moling was startled by Xie Xuanji's sudden approach and hurriedly shook off her hand.
"Brother, she's Little Star, I met her here..."
"Little Star? Oh my! This little girl is not only cute, but her name is also so cute. Hello Little Star, my name is Hua Buyu."
"Hello, Sister Hua!"
"Oh~ Little Star, you're so cute and well-behaved, I love adorable kids!"
"Brother Xin, Sister Yan has missed you a lot lately!"
"Yan'er, tell your brother first, have the people from the Ancient Cang Kingdom bullied you?"
"Brother, I'm fine, how come I didn't see you..."
The scene was quite chaotic at one point, with the four of them asking their own questions, all unable to hide their joy, and they didn't even bother to communicate with the others present.
Watching their retreating figures, Xie Cangming simply sat by the stone table, smiling without saying a word. The smile that he had grown accustomed to over the years, which never reached his eyes, quietly dissipated in that instant, turning into a gentle expression.
"By the way, Yan Yan, let me tell you, your cousin, the Emperor, is a bad person. You must not trust him."
"The Emperor is a good person!"
"Yan'er, did they bully you?"
Xin Moyan shook her head. She calmed down a bit and looked around carefully again, her unease growing stronger in her heart.
"Brother, where's Xuanyuan? Didn't he come with you?"
Her tone was tinged with disbelief; she couldn't believe Xuan Yuan hadn't come, yet she didn't see that familiar figure here.
"I get so angry just thinking about it! Yan Yan, let me tell you, Xuan Yuan did come, but it was your cousin Baili who framed Xuan Yuan."
Hua Buyu's eyes were blazing with anger as she grabbed Xin Moyan's wrist and began to complain.
"What do you mean? What do you mean by being set up by your cousin? Xuan Yuan came here with you, so where is he now?"
She unconsciously raised her voice, her face instantly drained of color, and her heart pounded.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a black-robed figure walking gracefully behind her. Hua Buyu no longer cared about anyone and pointed into the distance.
"Look! It's him! Yan Yan, it's your cousin Baili Juebi who tricked Xuan Yuan away last night, and we don't know what he's been up to behind the scenes. Xuan Yuan's fate is still unknown, and his whereabouts are still unknown."
Upon hearing this news, Xin Moyan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her mind seemed to be buzzing incessantly.
She stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded as the sheer cliff stretched for miles and drew ever closer to her.
Bai Lijuan remained in his black robes and white hair, one hand behind his back, his expression indifferent. His tall figure loomed over him, making him appear even more noble and unapproachable.
"Yan'er".
"Big...Big Brother, is what Bu Yu said true? You plotted against...Xuan Yuan?"
She stared intently into those grey eyes, her voice trembling uncontrollably. She had waited so long, hoped so long, but in the end, it was Xuan Yuan…
Before they could even meet, Xuan Yuan was framed by his elder brother...
When Xin Moling heard his sister blurt out "Big Brother," his heart skipped a beat, and he felt a mix of emotions.
Strangely, Baili Juebi was not moved at all by his sister's pitiful and confused expression. Instead, he raised his hand and waved in Xie Xuanji's direction.
"Xing'er, come here."
"Oh!"
Xie Xuanji obediently walked to his side. Even if she didn't understand, she still had to listen to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, are you really bullying Sister Yan's husband and preventing them from seeing each other?"
She tilted her head back and fearlessly uttered the words "husband," which secretly made Baili Juebi feel introverted.
Seeing that Xin Moyan was not in a good mood, he slowly comforted her, "Yan'er, let's talk about Xuanyuan later. There are other important things to do right now."
"I don't care what you're up to, brother. If you still want me to acknowledge you, then tell me where Xuan Yuan is first."
Hearing this threat, Baili Juebi sighed silently again, but he didn't explain further and turned to look at the little girl beside him.
"Xing'er."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Xie Xuanji scratched her head, finding the gentle tone incomprehensible; after all, the Emperor hadn't looked at her like that in a long time.
"Xing'er, there is someone I would like you to meet."
"Who is it?"
She brought her face closer and blinked curiously, but her new brother didn't seem as cold as the Emperor.
Baili Juebi turned slightly to the side, and the tenderness in his eyes suddenly turned cold and ruthless when he caught sight of the figure sitting alone in the corner. Even his tone of voice carried a hint of irritation.
"Did I really need to invite you over?"
Following his gaze, everyone looked into the distance and saw half of his handsome profile, his hair and entire body completely white and flawless.
Then, Xie Cangming calmly stood up, lifted his leg and walked gracefully towards the bustling crowd, his face expressionless, his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness all hidden in his eyes.
"Uncle! Brother, Uncle Xie is here too?"
Xin Moyan excitedly covered her mouth, and Feng Qingyang and Fei E were there too, everyone had come...
The snow-white figure approached from afar, and when the cold, aloof face was clearly seen, a thunderous boom resounded in broad daylight, which was both eerie and frightening.
Xie Xuanji's entire body stiffened, her eyes remaining fixed as she stared intently at the man who had walked up to her.
His tall figure cast a shadow over Xie Xuanji. Xie Cangming lowered his head slightly, looking at the little girl who barely reached his shoulder, a gentle glint flashing in his blue eyes.
Xie Xuanji bit her lip, her chest heaving, her breathing becoming more and more rapid. Some distant and ancient fragments of memories flashed through her mind. At first, they were just vague, but in the end, it felt like a thin needle had suddenly pierced her temples.
"thump!"
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Xie Xuanji's legs went weak, and she knelt heavily on the ground before Xie Cangming. Tears streamed down her face like a broken kite string, unstoppable, but unlike her usual loud sobbing.
"Xing'er?"
"Little Star, what's wrong?"
Xie Xuanji did not answer, but just kept crying uncontrollably, tilting her head back with blurred vision, the connection between her blood and veins becoming clearer and stronger.
"Little Xuanji".
