After a long journey, Huan Xuanxuan stretched out his arm and looked at the several clearly visible lines on his fair arm.
There were many wounds on his arms. He shook his head, sighed, and glanced at the person who had fallen asleep.
Fortunately, he was knocked unconscious, otherwise I would not be able to withstand his strength.
"Luckily I don't have much strength, but I have great endurance."
Huan Xuanxuan gently stroked the wound, and a needle-like pain came from his arm.
He sighed, he was willing to do it just to keep him from being in danger, he felt it was all worth it.
"kindness… "
My head ached, a blinding light pierced my eyes, and I held out my hand to block out the uncomfortable light.
He opened his sleepy eyes. He hadn't fully adapted yet, but his head felt very heavy.
Huo Shaoyuan stretched out his hand and rubbed his temple to relieve the fatigue all over his body.
Suddenly he saw a figure with a frown on his face and a confused look on his face.
Huo Shaoyuan began to try hard to recall what had happened, and suddenly, images began to emerge in his mind.
He suddenly stood up, sat up, and wanted to stand up and leave.
Huan Xuanxuan held his shoulders and looked at him closely.
"What are you doing? Why are you making such a big move?"
Huo Shaoyuan twisted his shoulders, trying to break free from the restraints, but Huan Xuanxuan was extremely strong and held his shoulders tightly.
"No, I have to go save my family, my old house, my family is still in there, my mother."
As Huo Shaoyuan spoke, his face became grim and he wanted to rush out, with tears dripping from the corners of his eyes.
How could his old house be burned down like this? That was where he lived, and there were many servants in it.
Many images suddenly emerged in Huo Shaoyuan's mind. He couldn't just leave like this.
Huan Xuanxuan held his shoulders, asking him to calm down, and moved closer. The two of them looked into each other's eyes, staring at each other closely.
"Don't get excited here. We have already left Qingzhou. Don't go back. We don't know what Yi Yutang will do. Do you want to live or not?"
Huo Shaoyuan had no idea that the situation would turn out like this and stood up in disbelief.
Huan Xuanxuan grabbed him, his face full of confusion.
"No, I want to go back to Qingzhou. I want to put out the fire and see my mother. I promised my mother that I would not leave Qingzhou."
Huan Xuanxuan frowned, wondering why Huo Shaoyuan was so stubborn and wanted to go back to Qingzhou.
Huan Xuanxuan pressed hard on his shoulders and pulled him down.
Huo Shaoyuan sat down naturally. With the force pressing on his shoulders, he could only look at Huo Shaoyuan helplessly.
He stared blankly at the person in front of him, his eyes filled with stubbornness, and his shoulders shook hard.
He said from the beginning that he would not leave Qingzhou, but he didn't expect Huan Xuanxuan to take a hard approach and forcefully take him away from Qingzhou.
Huan Xuanxuan sighed deeply, soothed his mood, squatted down gently, and rubbed his hands gently in the palm of his hand to soothe his emotions.
Slowly, his breathing began to become steady. Huo Shaoyuan realized that he was no match for Huan Xuanxuan and that a one-sided struggle was useless.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't go back to Qingzhou. You..."
The scene of the old house being engulfed in flames emerged in Huo Shaoyuan's mind. He shook his head to get rid of the scene in his mind.
Try to divert everything from your mind and don't let your inner worries affect your emotions.
He paused for a moment, reorganizing his words.
"Tell me... the old house... how is the old house doing now? And my mother..."
Huan Xuanxuan fell into silence, lowered his head, and didn't say a word.
When he heard Huo Shaoyuan ask this, his hands tightened. He didn't know how to tell Huo Shaoyuan about this.
How can one explain such a painful thing? And... there is something even more painful for him...
When Huo Shaoyuan saw Huan Xuanxuan's appearance, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
He tried hard to control his emotions, reason pulled him back, and he spoke slowly.
"Tell me... what exactly... what happened... how is the situation? Is everything alright?"
Huan Xuanxuan looked at Huo Shaoyuan's eyes of disbelief. He knew that he would have to face this matter eventually and tell Huo Shaoyuan eventually.
Of course he has to face this fact. We can't lie to him.
Huan Xuanxuan looked at Huo Shaoyuan with his eyes wide open, tears welling up in his eyes, his expression filled with anticipation.
Huan Xuanxuan shook his head. Huo Shaoyuan looked at him and his eyes were filled with disbelief. He didn't want this to happen either.
"You're lying to me, aren't you?"
Huo Shaoyuan grabbed Huan Xuanxuan's shoulder in disbelief, and pain came from his shoulder.
"Well... calm down, I'm not lying to you, this is real, the fire was so big, the old house has been burned to ashes... and..."
Huan Xuanxuan endured the pain, lowered his head, and slowly told this story.
Huo Shaoyuan shook his head frantically in disbelief, muttering to himself.
"Impossible... I don't believe it... How could it be possible... Didn't you say you had sent people to put out the fire? How could this be the result?"
Huan Xuanxuan lowered his head, feeling very ashamed. This incident was indeed his fault, but the fire was too big and the strong wind caused the fire that had been put out with great difficulty to ignite in an instant.
They went back and forth like this until a white belly appeared on the horizon and everyone stopped what they were doing.
"Then... where is my mother?"
Huan Xuanxuan saw that he suddenly became excited, and he must have expected this ending.
Huan Xuanxuan shook his head. He had to tell him the result. He opened his eyes and looked at Huan Xuanxuan with an exploring look.
"Your mother was burned to death in the fire..."
Hot tears flowed from his eyes, and even the strongest man shed tears.
His eyes were fixed on Huan Xuanxuan, his hands were shaking constantly, and cold sweat kept coming out on his back.
He opened his lips, his pure white teeth trembling slightly, fighting against each other, and he spoke carefully.
"No, my mother won't..."
Huan Xuanxuan fell silent and did not answer him. Only then did Huo Shaoyuan accept this fact.
He lowered his head, not saying a word, with his head drooped, unwilling to finish what he was saying, and his eyes were dead.
"I have buried your mother."
Huan Xuanxuan felt very ashamed, as this was how he felt sorry for Huo Shaoyuan.
"Thank you… "
Huo Shaoyuan said thank you briefly and lowered his head. Huan Xuanxuan was with him. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what else to say.
Because there was another piece of news that he hadn't told him, but he would understand it in his heart. The old house was gone, and he was now alone. Nearly a hundred servants in the old house were all lost in the sea of fire...
