Chapter 407 - 386 Second Update
"Lord Ju, let me escort you," Yu Yuan felt there was something odd about Lord Ju today, who wanted to part ways halfway after leaving Prince Duan’s Mansion. How could this be right? If the Crown Prince learned he had left Lord Ju in the middle of the road, wouldn’t he think that Yu Yuan had been negligent in his care?
"Lord Yu, the members of the Fire Order Squad have been resting for two days, and now is a critical moment to eradicate the Ghost Shadow Sorcery in Zheng Capital. Neither of us should be absent. If you are with the Fire Order Squad, I will feel more at ease even if I am recovering at home. Lord Yu, at this moment, we must prioritize imperial court affairs. Surely the Crown Prince will understand and not hold you to blame," Ju Nanyi said slowly, forcing himself to stand firm to show he had the capability to return on his own.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan’s expression turned serious, acknowledging that Lord Ju had thought things through, and he no longer insisted on accompanying him.
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Ju. I will head back now," Yu Yuan said, his expression solemn, as he felt deep admiration for Lord Ju, who always thought of the Fire Order Squad and was meticulous and selflessly devoted to public affairs.
Yu Yuan felt that walking slowly would be a disservice to the Crown Prince’s trust in their Fire Order Squad. After a hasty farewell, he immediately rushed to the squad.
Ju Nanyi watched Yu Yuan’s retreating figure, then glanced at Prince Duan’s Mansion not far away. For some reason, his heart ached sharply. Ju Nanyi pulled back his thoughts; compared to the panic and cluelessness of the night he awoke, he had now calmed down.
Memories slowly formed a concrete fact in his mind, as if another life was warning him at its dying moments, desperately trying to alert him to something.
But what was it trying to warn him about?
Not to repeat such a life in this lifetime? To have no entanglements with Princess Chao Ren? Ju Nanyi felt that was not it. The memory of her leaving, the pain that pierced his heart—a pain so intense he wished he could have followed her—was not diminished by adopting a new body or by being just a memory.
