Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1393 - 804: They’ve Been Waiting for You

"Three Best Actress crowns.. Best Actress is akin to the master of arts in your world."

In the Martial Arts World, actors are considered a low-class profession, but martial artists don’t mind it. Wang Qing only says, "Whose clothes was she wearing that day?"

Both of them are holding a cup of drink, Sui Yi with flower tea, Wang Qing with lemon water, she likes this bitter, sweet and sour taste.

"Mine."

What?

Wang Qing is bewildered.

"If I remember correctly, I should be one of the investors."

Sui Yi shakes the drink in his hand, "Important?"

"No."

Suddenly, there’s quite a commotion coming from the street over there.

Seems like...

Sui Yi follows the crowd flow.

It turns out there is a large arena in the center of the plaza, and the electronic screen beside it shows the host’s live introduction.

Undoubtedly, this is a martial arts competition.

Moreover, the title of this competition left Sui Yi quite speechless -- Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference.

For this event that had made him disappear for ten years, Sui Yi felt rather complicated, and this Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference...

"Alright, next is our finals! The cool, handsome, aloof and unparalleled A, along with our boxing champion, Tiger Tailong, are about to present a spectacular contest!"

Upon hearing this name, Sui Yi was taken aback, A?

The tall, bare-chested, remarkably handsome man on the stage continued to maintain his short hair, eyes sharp as an eagle, assuming a fighting stance as the referee whistled, leaping out like a tiger.

The two immediately engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat, of course, Inner Strength also played a role.

Grade B strength.

Great progress.

And certainly matured much as well, he should have been just in his early twenties back then, and now he’s in his thirties, appearance remains young because of martial arts practice, but demeanor inevitably deepens with age.

Each punch and kick was fierce and formidable, carrying the decisiveness of a mature man.

Sui Yi watched for a while, suddenly hearing a vaguely familiar shout.

"Go A! Go!"

"Go, go, go!"

Turning to look... a charming and cute woman dressed in ****** and wearing ultra-high heels was hugging her female companion, screaming their support, of course, there were a few other similarly young people shouting.

Sui Yi was stunned seeing these people, then chuckled.

But her laughter suddenly paused, because A had defeated Tailong, but the fallen Tailong pulled out a dagger from his arms, leaping from behind towards A’s back...

"No!" Lin Chuxiao widened her eyes in terror, while the referee and several security personnel flashed onto the stage.

Will they make it?

No, they won’t.

A seemed to sense the bloody scent.

Then...

Thud.

Tailong collapsed, the dagger pierced into his palm.

Strange.

A instinctively glanced at the crowd below.... it seems he spotted someone.

A person rushed up to embrace him, disregarding everything.

The view swayed.

The person disappeared.

Yet somehow, something seemingly was completed again.

A felt moisture on his chest, making his heart feel soaked too.

Beyond those crowds, two people sauntered away.

"Not reconnecting with your old friends doesn’t really align with your style."

"Those aren’t old friends, but youthful times."

Sui Yi turned her gaze to the arena, always thinking she was mature and rational enough. After ten years apart, seeing those classmates and friends again, she suddenly realized that life experiences always leave something behind, or gain something.

She left them memories, which inevitably fade with time, but what did they leave her?

Life.

Her life once had these people, her years are long enough to remember them forever.

"You didn’t answer my question directly..."

Wang Qing, like Sui Yi, put the emptied glass into the trash bin.

"That person likes you, and that girl likes him."

Sui Yi: "Your observational skills are good, imagination is great too, but you’re considerate enough not to tell me more straightforward observations."

"Just like you not expressing any ridicule toward me for leaving home for unrequited love... you didn’t laugh at me."

Wang Qing’s expression turned serious, "So I won’t laugh at you."

Uhm... Sui Yi felt the atmosphere turned a bit odd.

A breath.

"Well... you weren’t exactly leaving home, Lost Lands is merely a transit, so I’m not really trafficking humans."

"Also,"

Sui Yi pointed to the screen on the building next door.

"Your expression just now looked like his."

Wang Qing turned to look.

CCTV News Broadcast.

Reporting on the two-child policy...

Wang Qing: "...."

So... Sui Yi, are you mocking me?

Wang Qing came to a halt, silently watching Sui Yi.

Sui Yi was initially walking in front and sensed that Wang Qing had stopped, so she turned around to look.

"Sui Yi, how old are you?"

How old are you to be so childish, actually mocking me.

Is this the reaction?

No.

Three meters away, Wang Qing looked at her with that somewhat sorrowful gaze.

"I just feel... the more time I spend with you, the more familiar you seem."

"It’s as if we knew each other... a long, long time ago.."

So, does she suspect that she is the reincarnation of that person?

Sui Yi tilted her head slightly, "So you think I was a man in my past life?"

Wang Qing: "This question of yours...."

Sui Yi suddenly took a step forward, grabbed her arm directly, "Run!"

Screams erupted from behind.

"Ah, it’s her!"

"It’s really her! Pu Qinghan’s friend.."

Several passengers rushed out of the nearby shop, and in the front, Sui Yi was pulling Wang Qing to run across the street...

As they ran, Wang Qing’s first reaction wasn’t why she didn’t use her inner strength, nor did she realize that now wasn’t suitable for inner strength, but instead a scene suddenly flashed in her mind, vaguely..

In that desolate and barren place, flowers also bloomed everywhere, with two people pulling each other, running in that vast place...

Laughter...

Very distant.

----------

The next day, Sui Yi took Wang Qing on a plane back to the Capital City.

Stepping onto the land of the Capital City once again.

Sui Yi looked at the clear, bright sky outside the airport.

In the past, the Capital City often had sandstorms due to certain geographic factors, and the air transparency index wasn’t good.

However, now.

The weather was explosively good!

Ye Chunan had already transferred to an international flight in Jiangnan due to work needs, and Sui Yi didn’t need anyone else to accompany her. Once they arrived at Jingdu Airport, she and Wang Qing saw a woman holding a sign and wearing a large mask....

A moment later, Sui Yi led Wang Qing into the car.

The driver pulled down the mask, revealing a charming and slightly sophisticated face.

"Young boss, for being able to recognize me at a glance like this, I can barely forgive you for leaving a big mess for me to clean up after ten years away."

Lin Yun’s words were a bit playful, her eyebrows smiling, as Sui Yi apologized: "I’m very sorry."

"What the young boss should apologize for is not this, but why after ten years, you haven’t changed at all... or rather, you’ve become more beautiful, but as youthful as ever~~ Gong Jiu and the others too, but I’ve aged."

Sui Yi carefully observed Lin Yun and sincerely comforted her;

"Maybe it’s because you gained weight, which makes you look older."

Goodness!

Beside her, Wang Qing’s mouth twitched, unable to suppress a captivating smile.

Lin Yun caught that laughter, paused, and sighed quietly to herself, then pulled up her mask with a bitter face, "Really wish you could be this bad to Gong Jiu and them, too."

"And, they’re already waiting for you."

--------

In the spring world, the weather was so good, and most people in the courtyard were affluent and leisurely. Planting all kinds of flowers and plants inside or outside the spacious yard was a favorite activity, creating a journey blooming with flowers and quite beautiful. The place for parking had turned into a spiral tower, where cars could go in and be naturally moved to higher levels, thus freeing up land space. Therefore, leaving room for carrots, cabbages, green onions, or sweet potatoes, there was much more extra land.

But... along the way, there were numerous fully blossomed peach trees.

Occasionally interspersed with cherry blossoms.

The colors of the flowers were exquisite.

The scent was delightful...

The three of them, Sui Yi, walked down the easy and graceful path of blue stone slabs, inhaling the fragrance of the flowers, letting their faces and hair graze those delicate petals and gentle breeze.

Su Family.

The living room inside the floor-to-ceiling windows was large, hosting many elegant people, of all ages.

The old man sitting at the head listened to the people below speak, discussing national culture, and weighing in on educational reform..

The woman sitting below him wore a form-fitting, elegant beige long dress, with a makeup that was graceful, her skin delicate and snow-white. Her voice was soft and clear when she spoke, pleasing to the ears.

Everyone present listened.

But the old man suddenly patted his shoulder, pointing outside...

Everyone turned to look.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window, with cherry and peach blossoms dancing, they saw someone walking up, turning their face.. stopping in their tracks.

Their gazes met...

Perhaps seeing this old man again after ten years was what delighted Sui Yi the most.

Sui Yi stepped forward, offering a sincere smile to the old man being supported up by Su Zimu.

Then she bowed.

An etiquette a junior performs for a respected elder.

From an ancient nation, in an ancient era.

A standard and elegant posture.

Old Master Su smiled.

Waved his hand.

The heritage between the old and young was orderly, with no abandonment of respect and rituals, showcasing the elegance of the noble clan.

Inside, the scholars were all moved, and the old man patted Su Zimu’s arm, "Go ahead, my little girl."

Little girl?

Wasn’t Su Zimu, who was already a national top scholar awarded the rank of lieutenant general, the head of the Su Family’s cultural system abroad by her thirties?

And this little girl, with reddened eyes, hugged Old Master Su: "Trust me, I’ll soon bring your favorite junior to visit you.."

The old man’s laughter was hearty, and the beautiful, graceful woman gracefully departed.

They could see through the floor-to-ceiling windows the friends who, after ten years apart, exchanged smiles and left together in sync.
