Chapter 251 Although I don't mind you holding me all the time
"What's the matter?"
Without even a hint of doubt, the Valley Master asked calmly, without raising his head.
Ross took a deep breath and told everything about Ling Yutong.
"Bata."
It was the sound of the lake pen in the Valley Master's hand falling to the ground.
"What did you say?"
In extreme shock, the Valley Master suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, and he even forgot to control his expression.
Rose suppressed the sudden smile and nodded heavily: "Valley Master, what I said is true. The girl is really back."
"That's her."
"Qingzhu's attitude has told us that it can't be wrong."
The Valley Master's pupils shrank violently, and his expression seemed to be out of control. His lips curled up and became serious, and he stood frozen for a while before quickly waving his hand.
"Let's go, let me meet the girl, let me meet her..."
"Eh?"
Ross's eyes twitched and he quickly blocked the valley owner's path.
"What do you want to do to stop me!"
"Get out of the way!"
The Valley Master's face turned into a tiger's face for a second, looking particularly unhappy.
Ross was helpless, but his steps in the way were unwavering.
"Valley Master! The girl doesn't know yet. If you rush over like this, you might scare people."
The owner of the valley paused.
"hiss……"
"Go and keep the girl, let me think carefully about how to explain everything to the girl and where to start."
Seeing that the Valley Master had regained his former composure, Ross lowered his head: "Yes, Valley Master."
When he exited, he still had a smile on his lips.
The owner of the valley was serious and steady, but in those eyes, it was clear that he had found the girl... he was filled with uncontrollable joy.
…
"No, no, it's too rich, we can't eat it."
Ling Yutong waved her hand to refuse, but the group of maids in the valley who were serving the meals seemed not to hear her. They were still serving the dishes, and all of them were smiling and very enthusiastic.
She blinked and looked in Ruan Fu's direction, unable to resist.
Ruan Fu shrugged at her: "It's hard to refuse kindness."
She paused.
That's what he said, but the people in Yaogu were also too kind, even to the point of being a bit scary.
Qi Yan's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Even if they were destined to be together again, they wouldn't be Yaogu's great benefactors, right? On the contrary, they accepted their love, but the actual situation seemed to be reversed.
There must be a reason.
Maybe, they will soon be able to spy on it.
That's when Ross came.
He glanced at the sumptuous dishes on the table and twitched the corner of his mouth. He thought the Valley Master was really calm, but who knew...it was so obvious!
He looks like he wants to take away all his family's wealth. Who wouldn't be suspicious after seeing this!?
"..."
He forced himself to smile as usual and said the opening remarks that the Valley Master had given him thousands of times.
"The owner of the valley said that in recent years, it is rare to meet people who are destined to meet you. It is a lucky thing to meet one. Who would have thought that I met two this time. Therefore, to celebrate this fate, the owner of the valley held a special banquet and invited three people.
Sit down together and celebrate together!”
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
Ling Yutong & Qi Yan & Ruan Fu: "???"
...No, when you are talking, don’t you listen to what you are saying!?
Ling Yutong silently glanced at the sumptuous meal on the table that had not yet been touched, and then looked at Ross.
This really can’t be described as being warm and welcoming, right?
Stifling silence...
Rose's face froze with laughter.
Ruan Fu had a question in his mind, but he never asked it.
Is your valley owner a new type of dedicated personality?
In the end, Ling Yutong responded with a complicated expression: "Okay, thank the Valley Master for us."
Ross was granted amnesty.
Qi Yan was thoughtful.
It seems that the true intentions of the people in Yaogu will be known soon.
And it was also the attitude of these people that never made him alert.
They really don't have any ill intentions at all, and everyone treats them as honored guests.
The banquet agreed upon was held the next day.
As soon as Ling Yutong entered the lobby, he was shocked by the level of luxury.
The person sitting at the top, who looked like the owner of the valley, actually walked down in person after seeing her arrival, and even came to her in a hurry.
"Miss Ling."
Ling Yutong nodded and looked at the Valley Master with an expression that would not offend anyone.
Like, so similar.
It was like a combined version of Ling Zhonghuai and Fang Yu standing in front of him.
The Valley Master couldn't help but his eyes became astringent, and he couldn't hold back his emotions.
Ling Yutong looked inexplicably at the Valley Master who seemed to be about to cry in the next second. After hesitating for a moment, she still asked: "What's wrong with you?"
The Valley Master blinked quickly and returned to smiling.
"It's nothing, you'll know later."
Although she was confused, she didn't ask any more questions and sat down.
The food served at today's banquet was no less than yesterday's. Fortunately, there were many people attending, so she didn't think it was too exaggerated.
It's just... there's always someone looking at her from nowhere, looking at her frequently.
Her emotions were all positive, which made her feel uncomfortable.
And the reason why it's a gaze from "who knows where" is because...it seems like every gaze in every direction is looking at her.
Um……
Qi Yan blocked her without leaving any trace.
Ling Yutong immediately looked at him gratefully.
"What's going on with them? I feel like I'm the hottie. We are both destined to be together, so why are we treated differently..."
They just looked at her...
Qi Yan was silent for a moment, and a certain suspicion in his mind became deeper and deeper.
He patted her back gently: "Don't panic, just wait and see."
"I don't think they have any ill intentions towards you."
Ling Yutong nodded and sat upright again.
The Valley Master stared at the hands closely. It wasn't until Qi Yan's hands moved away that he coughed twice and started to speak.
“Today we gather together, it’s called celebration, but it’s actually... to welcome our girl home!!!”
The Valley Master's eyes were filled with tears, his gaze fell directly on Ling Yutong, and his tone was astringent.
"Miss Ling, I'm very sorry for explaining everything to you in such a grand and non-negotiable way, but I really owe you a ceremony and an apology from my brother."
"You must be confused, but it doesn't matter, I will tell you everything soon."
"Your name is Ling Yutong, right? I gave you this name in the first place. My brother and sister-in-law are both good at medicine and poisoning, but they just specialize in poetry and calligraphy and have no attainments at all. If I don't want to give in to you, I'll find you."
I'll choose the name."
"Yutong, which means rain hitting the sycamore tree, means that in the face of any unpredictable setbacks, I hope you can be like the sycamore leaf, tough, withstand pressure, and live a good life."
"you……"
Ling Yutong was stunned.
The owner of the valley smiled.
"My surname is Ling, Ling Zhongyi, and I am your uncle."
Qi Yan's pupils shrank.
When he heard the name Ling Zhonghuai, he was completely confused. The next words Fang Yu and Ling Zhongyi made his heart tremble.
Ruan Fu's reaction was the same as his.
Without him, these names are too loud.
However, the owners of these names were all famous people decades ago. At that time, there was no Medicine Valley, and there was no underground force that has developed to this day and is becoming more and more arrogant.
Ling Yutong's lips trembled: "I..."
"How can I believe you that this is not a grand deception?"
She was not unimpressed by her parents, but they were indeed not deeply impressed. She didn't know much about their great fame back then. She even thought that the famous people at that time just happened to have the same name as her parents.
But one thing she remembered was that she had never heard of her father having a brother.
Ling Zhongyi didn't seem surprised, he looked at her with eyes that no longer concealed his affection.
"You should have a token in your hand. There are two snakes entwined on it. It looks strangely beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Rose's mouth twitched.
Come on, it turns out that their valley master also knows the token in the valley. Such beauty must be described as evil?
Ling Yutong frowned: "Yes, is there any mystery?"
She didn't take it out rashly.
Ling Zhongyi smiled, lowered his head and pulled off his token.
He said: "Only your token is completely symmetrical with mine and can be put together."
"This token was made by my brother."
Ling Yutong was shocked. Although he still didn't take the token, his eyes had already seen the appearance of Ling Zhongyi's token.
Her pupils shrank.
Qi Yan's voice sounded next to him: "If you want to verify it, just give it a try. With us here, you won't be put in danger."
Like a warm current flowing into her heart, her hesitation was immediately cured by his words.
"good."
She didn't feel any malice towards Ling Zhongyi, but her subconscious caution made her unable to help but ask more questions and test him more.
She stepped forward.
Ling Zhongyi looked at her with an encouraging look in his eyes.
"You may also feel that Qingzhu is unusually close to you, but let me tell you, it is not gentle at all."
The elder followed the instructions and approached.
Needless to say, Qingzhu automatically wrapped himself around Ling Yutong's arm.
The snake's tail tightened, as if attached to it.
"Why is it so close to me?"
She asked as she matched the token in her hand with Ling Zhongyi's.
With a "click", the tokens matched up perfectly.
Ling Yutong's eyes widened, and at the same moment she heard Ling Zhongyi's smiling words.
"Because Qingzhu is your mother's poisonous pet."
...a poisonous pet?
Her eyelids twitched, but she calmed down again when she saw how dependent Qingzhu was on her.
What is she afraid of?
It's quite well-behaved.
"Welcome home girl!!!"
The sudden words startled her.
Ling Yutong looked back and found that even the elders were saluting in her direction.
Ling Zhongyi's voice sounded a little thick from a close distance, and it was inexplicably similar to the voice in his memory.
"Do you believe it now?"
"Your and my tokens are closed."
Ling Yutong's eyelashes trembled.
She was unable to make any reaction for the moment and could only look at Ling Zhongyi, looking a little dazed.
The emotions in my heart are racing.
She couldn't help but look back at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan was shocked when he received her eyes.
Ling Yutong whispered: "Sorry, I have to excuse myself first."
After saying that, she turned around and walked away, faster and faster, until she stood in front of Qi Yan.
Then, under Qi Yan's deep eyes, she raised her hand and hugged him suddenly.
The hug was so tight that she seemed to be about to collapse emotionally, but she held on. It wasn't until she was in his arms and inhaled the familiar cold fragrance on her nose that she couldn't help but feel relieved.
Qingzhu was so squeezed by their embrace that it moved away. It was naturally impossible for it to attack Qi Yan, who was closely connected to Ling Yutong. Then... Ruan Fu was the most suitable choice at the moment.
Ruan Fu: "!!!"
His eyes widened for a moment. Ever since he knew it was a poisonous pet, he immediately thought of its species.
That is the most poisonous!
Who will help him and take Qingzhu away!!
But his eyes turned around for help, and no one paid attention to him. Everyone was caught by Ling Yutong and Qi Yan embracing each other.
Qi Yan lowered his eyes and gently wrapped his arms around her.
The voice was also soft.
"Yutong, has your memory recovered?"
The man in his arms nodded heavily.
In fact, when Ling Zhongyi talked about the token, her memory was revived. When she walked in front of Ling Zhongyi and slowly raised the token, she remembered everything.
Otherwise, how could she know the existence of the token based only on the memory of her previous life.
After all, in her previous life, she didn't see... her grandmother alive, so how could she get the token?
Tightening her arms, she whispered: "I'm sorry, I..."
"Don't apologize to me."
"Just recover."
Qi Yan cut off her words and gently stroked her hair with his palms.
But the more he understood her, the more uncomfortable she felt. Thinking of what he said when she woke up and saw Qi Yan, and the things that happened in her previous life that he brought up as a topic, she couldn't bear it.
I couldn't help but cry again.
Obviously, I don't want him to know the pain.
She just had to experience the pain of losing a loved one once, so why bother...
"Don't think about it."
Qi Yan's movements were very gentle, and her voice was full of laughter, which made her ears turn red.
"Well, although I don't mind you holding me like this all the time, but...your uncle and the people in the valley are about to dig a hole in us."
"Well, there is also Dr. Ruan. He seems to be quite frightened by Qingzhu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yutong suddenly bounced out of his arms like a ball.
"I……"
She covered her face in embarrassment, but when she got out of his arms, she saw Ruan Fu beside her, and the eyes of the people in the valley were shining brightly.
At this moment, her embarrassment level reached the sky.
I wish there was a gap in the ground for her to drill through.
Qi Yan couldn't help laughing, pulled her and said in a low voice: "Doctor Ruan is on the left, please help him quickly."
With him holding her, Ling Yutong's embarrassment dissipated a bit, but her face was still red.
She didn't know how to take back Qingzhu. She recalled what the elder had said before asking Qingzhu to go back, so she also said: "Qingzhu, come back."
Qingzhu's body stood upright in an instant.
As if smelling the scent of meat, a pair of vertical pupils jumped back into her arms with great intelligence and steadied herself.
Ling Yutong lowered his head to look at it, and after mentally building himself up, he turned to look at other people in the valley.
Who would have thought that before her eyes could see the figure clearly, she would hear the people in the valley spontaneously say in unison: "The girl is so free and easy, she expresses her feelings, and she is open and aboveboard!!"
...Ling Yutong couldn't believe what he heard.
She blinked, and then she saw Ling Zhongyi walking towards her.
A "click" sound is the sound of the token being opened.
Ling Zhongyi stretched out his hand to her and smiled happily.
"He is the child of the family to whom your brother and sister-in-law entrusted you, right? Feng Shen is handsome, and he is quite suitable for our girl."
"Take this token."
"From now on, Yaogu will be your home, and we are all your relatives and your solid backing."
