Chapter 53: Reunion and Separation at the Third Watch

  When Chen Xing woke up, the sky was already bright. Luosi and Han Yue had been guarding his bedside all night without closing their eyes. Tang Xiaoxia sat at the door with her sword in her arms, dozing off for a night. Han Yue hadn't said a word to him all along.

  According to the doctor on Lin Yuefeng and Chen Xing's own judgment, Chen Xing needs at least a month of rest to recover his health. As for regaining his original powerful abilities, it will probably take about three months to fully recover.

  Han Yue's original plan was to go to Chu Du with Luo Siqi, and have Da Jisi and Tang Xiaoxia guard Lin Yuefeng together. However, the sudden enemy attack caused Chen Xing to suddenly lose his original powerful ability, and now he not only can't protect Lin Yuefeng, but also needs to send someone to protect his safety.

  Tang Xiaxia's performance last night was extremely disappointing to Han Yue, and this disappointment can be easily felt from her attitude towards Tang Xiaxia.

  However, when Tang Xiaxia proposed to accompany Luosiqi to Chu Du, she was strongly opposed by Han Yue.

  Han Yue's reason was simple, she had to stay by Chen Xing's side to ensure his safety, so in order to prevent the enemy from easily breaking into Lin Yue Peak like last night, someone outside had to be responsible for all the defensive deployment tasks.

  The Moon God Sect now has only four people in the high-level who can command the Moon Maidens and the followers below, whether it is Chen Xing Han Yue or Luo Si Qi, they all have things that cannot be put down, so the defense work of Lin Yue Peak can only be undertaken by Tang Xiao Xia as the protector of the Moon God Sect.

  Tang Xiaoxia's true abilities are now known only to Luosi Qi and Qing Yuansu, but because of Chen Xing's long-standing concern for Luosi Qi, she is deeply moved. Moreover, his injury this time may be related to the Lingxian grass he obtained from Potala, so although she also feels that making Tang Xiaoxia fully responsible for the defense of Lin Yuefeng is a heavy burden for him, she now doesn't want Chen Xing to get into trouble without Han Yue's protection. When Tang Xiaoxia looked at her, she lowered her head and didn't speak. Tang Xiaoxia was very surprised by Luosi Qi's behavior, but ultimately did not ask any questions.

  And so such an arrangement went through irresistibly.

  Tang Xiaxia took over the command of all the guards on Lin Yuefeng except for Chen Xing's residence, while Luosi Qi was about to get on a horse-drawn carriage to go to Chu Du to "treat the illness" of the King of Chu.

  Luosiqi wanted to talk to Tang Xiaoxia before she left, but Tang Xiaoxia was sulking with a wooden face and didn't look at her. Luosiqi knew he was angry because she hadn't spoken up for him earlier. She was about to leave for Chudu soon, and if it were up to her usual temper, she wouldn't have bothered with Tang Xiaoxia either, especially since they wouldn't have gotten the Lingxian grass without Chenxing. It was also impossible for Tang Xiaoxia to recover so quickly, so Luosiqi thought it was only right that Tang Xiaoxia did something for Chenxing.

  Of course, she didn't have time to explain her thoughts to Tang Xiaoxia. She just looked at Tang Xiaoxia, who was lowering his head and gently grinding the ground with his right foot, thinking that the only person from the same world as herself was about to leave her, and her heart suddenly softened for no reason.

  They were both high school students in modern society, and their age should not bear more pressure except for reading books. Strictly speaking, the two of them had only been together for one day of class and had been classmates for just one day, but whether it was one day or two days, in the world they are currently living in, they should be the closest people to each other!

  They are one of a kind for each other and irreplaceable by anyone!

  These have nothing to do with love yet.

  At this time, on the top of Lin Yuefeng, it was already a bit cool in the morning. Luosiqi subconsciously tightened her robe and walked to Tang Xiaoxia's front, placing her right hand on his shoulder, and softly said in a voice that only the two could hear: "I'm sorry, wait for me to come back."

  She felt that Tang Xiaoxia's originally stiff shoulders had softened, and his right foot, which had been lightly tapping on the ground, also stopped. Tang Xiaoxia gently shook off her hand, and with a bitter smile, said to her: "I'm a man, after all, why say such things to me?"

  His smile relaxed, he leaned his body face to face towards Rosalie, stopping at a distance where the two were slightly in contact. He leaned over and whispered in Rosalie's ear: "If there weren't people around, I'd really like to give you a gentle hug!"

  Luosi felt as if her heart had stopped beating, she reached out to touch Tang Xiaoxia's hair, but he suddenly dodged away. He stood one meter in front of himself and said loudly: "Goddess, please rest assured, the guardian of Lin Yuefeng will be left to me, you take care!"

  Luosi's hand was placed on her chest, and she felt her heart beating rapidly again. She had an urge to rush up and hug Tang Xiaoxia tightly, but Tang Xiaoxia's words pulled her back from that reckless thought. She knew he was reminding her that they didn't have the freedom to express their emotions openly at this time.

  Han Yue was worried about Chen Xing, so she obviously showed her intention to end this farewell as soon as possible.

  Luosiqi could only nod at Tang Xiaoxia and led the four Moon Maidens and a dozen or so disciples down the mountain.

  The carriage at the foot of the mountain had been arranged, she sat in the carriage heading to Chudu and couldn't stop crying. She kept thinking about what happened after she and Tang Xiaoxiao came to this world. She remembered Tang Xiaoxiao's soft words just whispered in her ear, and she remembered the heartache when she left the mountain without looking back.

  Luosi worked hard to hold back her tears, she made up her mind to kill the King of Chu as soon as possible, thoroughly activate all the seven-colored Linglong stones, and let Tang Xiaoxia and herself return to their original world together.

  This was not Luosi's first time out, although it was different from the last time with Chen Xing. Now all matters of the caravan had to be decided by her, but because the envoy sent by the King of Chu brought guards and guides, after some days of travel, they arrived at the capital of Chu State relatively smoothly.

  As the capital of Chu State, a major power in the Spring and Autumn period, whether it is the height of the city wall or the area of the city surrounded by it, it is not comparable to ordinary small cities. The Flowing Gold City may be considered extremely wealthy, but compared with this giant city built with the strength of the whole country, it can only reluctantly admit defeat.

  Luosi didn't find it strange that she received unprecedented hospitality in Chudu. She wore a hat with a white veil hanging down, as instructed by Hanshuo before he left. Her hat and clothes were both purple-blue, only the veil was white. This white veil slightly affected her vision, but also helped her avoid many unnecessary troubles.

  When the news of the Moon Goddess's arrival spread, many citizens who had already heard rumors about Rosy in the alleys, which had been exaggerated to be incredibly mysterious, rushed to the streets, eager to catch a glimpse of the Moon Goddess's demeanor.

  Because Rosalie entered the city by carriage, at first the citizens couldn't even see her figure, so they all chased after her carriage to the front of the palace. Wearing a veil, Rosalie got off the carriage and caused a huge commotion, but because of this veil, everyone couldn't see her face clearly, so everyone was somewhat disappointed, yet it also increased the mysterious feeling of Rosalie in their hearts.
