Chapter 243: Making Plan
Chi Xinru was silent for a few seconds after hearing his answer and said, "Even Li Junwang is afraid of his father. It seems that both ordinary family children and imperial family children are afraid of their fathers."
Hearing what she said, the other couldn’t help but laugh. After the gloomy atmosphere dissipated a little bit, Duan Yixin looked at Xuan Ruiquan and said, "General Xuan, we should do something before everything becomes uncontrollable."
Looking into her eyes, Xuan Ruiquan’s fear returned. He remembered that around this time in their previous lives, she was accused of being a witch and burned at the stake for developing a cure for the plague. However, in the previous life, the plague only happened later, and Duan Yixin never left Yunshan Village.
Recalling the despair, anxiety, and fear he felt when he rushed to Yunshan Village to save her but failed, Xuan Ruiquan clenched his hands tightly.
He lowered his eyes, recalling the heat that surged through his body as he searched frantically among a pile of charred wood and ashes, only to find a small piece of black bone she had left behind. He wouldn’t let the same thing happen to her again. This time, he couldn’t let her show her skills in public.
Sensing something wrong with his expression, Duan Yixin held Xuan Ruiquan’s clenched hands and asked, "What’s wrong? Don’t you want me to help the victim?"
Xuan Ruiquan looked at her, then at the Chi siblings, who were staring at him curiously. Since he couldn’t tell them about his rebirth or their past lives, Xuan Ruiquan could only find excuses to delay the matter until he found a way to ensure Duan Yixin’s safety.
After making the decision, Xuan Ruiquan calmed down and said, "No. We can help them, but not now."
"Why? Just like Xin Xin said, if this matter continues to be delayed, things will be out of control." Chi Xinru said doubtfully.
