The altar was still very lively today. It was not affected by the evil spirits last night at all. Everyone was crowded to get the blessing first. When the Saintess appeared, she even shouted 'Empress' loudly, which shocked Bi Yao who was standing behind Tian Qiao 'er.
Tian Qiao 'er said softly to Bi Yao," There are many people here, and you only have a body. It's not good to stay under the sun for too long. That's the shed area of the Holy Altar. It's the same if you go over there and look at me."”
Bi Yao looked at the shed. It was indeed a cool place. She responded and ran towards the shed area.
Tian Qiao 'er looked at Bi Yao's happy appearance and smiled in satisfaction before walking up the altar.
Bi Yao sat there peacefully. However, when the soldiers saw that she had come out with the Holy Maiden, they took extra care of her without waiting for the Empress 'instructions. Bi Yao also happily received the various things sent over.
An hour later, Zhang Xiaofan approached the altar, but he didn't go up. He just looked at Biyao from afar.
Today, Tian Qiao 'er did not lose her composure like she did yesterday. She continued to smile and bless her clansmen.
The clansmen had long noticed that the woman beside the Saintess was on par with her.
The clansmen guessed that they had never seen this woman before. She must have appeared last night when the evil spirit appeared. The opinions of the people are different, mainly in two aspects.
The first type was the incarnation of the evil soul. After being converted by the Empress, she became a beautiful woman.
The second type was the Empress 'helper or maid, the messenger who had driven away the evil spirits last night.
The clan members argued fiercely. Some said the first, some said the second. It was only after Zhang Xiaofan, the 'ominous person', arrived that the clan members confirmed the second theory after seeing that the Saintess hadn't changed much today. They believed that this' beautiful emissary 'had suppressed Zhang Xiaofan's ominous aura.
Some of the soldiers had a different thought. The Empress was an unattainable beauty, but now there was a woman who was as beautiful as the Empress. They were all shocked and wanted to get close to her. It would be best if they could get her favor.
According to the rules of the clan, in order to maintain fairness, the Saintess was not allowed to have any romantic feelings for her entire life. The Empress cannot get married. There is no rule that the people around the Empress cannot have feelings. The soldiers all had this kind of mood and wanted to get closer to Bi Yao, occasionally sending over things like fans.
Bi Yao looked at the people's friendliness and slowly relaxed. Occasionally, she would smile happily.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at Biyao's smile and was completely entranced. He recalled the first time he saw her smile, and he was just as mesmerized.
Was it really important for Bi Yao to recover her memories?
As long as she was happy every day, wasn't that the most important thing?
Zhang Xiaofan stared at Biyao from afar and saw her smile.
In the evening, the Saintess finally completed her task for the day. She walked down the altar with Biyao and saw Zhang Xiaofan, who had been standing there for the whole day.
This time, Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said gently to Biyao,""Are you tired?"
Tian Qiao 'er was shocked. She was used to seeing Zhang Xiaofan's arrogant attitude, but she didn't expect him to change so suddenly. She felt very awkward. "Are you alright?"
In fact, even Zhang Xiaofan felt very awkward, but he really didn't want to leave Biyao with a 'devil' comment.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at Biyao and said," I just wanted to ask if you were tired. I'll cook for you."”
Tian Qiao 'er looked at Bi Yao with an encouraging gaze. Under Tian Qiao' er's encouragement, Bi Yao took a small step forward and said,""I heard from Sister Qiao 'er today that you're not a bad person. You're the one who saved me, right?”
" As long as you're happy," Zhang Xiaofan replied softly." Anything I do is worth it."”
Biyao glanced at Zhang Xiaofan and said,""Thank you. Since your surname is Zhang, I'll call you Uncle Zhang from now on, right?”
Zhang Xiaofan's raised hand stopped in mid-air, and his expression froze as if he had suddenly become a wooden statue.
Tian Qiao 'er asked Bi Yao,"Why do you call him' uncle'?”
Bi Yao turned to look at Tian Qiao 'er and said," Sister Qiao' er, didn't you say today that I should call those men with slightly white hair on the altar 'uncle'? Those men with completely white hair, I should call them' grandpa'? Although Uncle Zhang had a white head, it wasn't completely white. So, he couldn't be called Grandpa Zhang, right?”
Tian Qiao 'er was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"Uncle Zhang, can I call you that?" Biyao turned to Zhang Xiaofan.”
Zhang Xiaofan couldn't bear to reject Biyao when he saw her expectant expression. He moved his stiff expression and said,""As long as you are happy, you can call me anything.”
Bi Yao smiled happily and said to 'Uncle Zhang',"Alright then, I'll call you Uncle Zhang. Thank you for saving me.”
Zhang Xiaofan said that it was nothing, but there was an indescribable bitterness in his heart. He didn't dare to show it, so he only said to Biyao gently,""As long as you're happy."
Biyao pulled Tian Qiaoer and said to Zhang Xiaofan,""Uncle Zhang, if there's nothing else, we'll leave first.”
After he finished speaking, he pulled the still awkward Tian Qiao 'er and walked towards the Divine Temple. Zhang Xiaofan watched them disappear and repeated,""As long as you're happy, that's fine."
Zhang Xiaofan stood by the altar and looked in the direction where Biyao and the others had disappeared. Suddenly, a big hand patted Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder. Zhang Xiaofan was shocked. He turned around and saw that it was the Zhuang Clan Leader.
The Zhuang Clan Leader saw that Zhang Xiaofan was frightened and asked,""Warrior Zhang Xiaofan, what are you thinking about?”
Zhang Xiaofan thought to himself that he was too engrossed in his own thoughts that he didn't even know someone was approaching. He immediately said,""It's just a small matter."
The Zhuang tribe leader looked at the sacred hall in the distance and said,""The girl today is the person you want to save, right?”
"That's right." Zhang Xiaofan nodded.”
The Zhuang tribe leader smiled and said to Zhang Xiaofan,""Do you like her?"
" I didn't expect the Zhuang Clan Leader to be able to tell." Zhang Xiaofan sighed." But we…"
"I understand. You don't have to say anything else. I'll help you.”The Zhuang tribe leader suddenly stopped Zhang Xiaofan and said slowly,""Let's find a good place first and then talk slowly.”
Zhang Xiaofan's interest was piqued when he heard the Zhuang Clan Leader's words.""Chief Zhuang, I still have a few jars of wine left from the day before yesterday. Let's go there and talk.”
The Zhuang tribe leader smiled and said,"Alright, we lost to you last time. This time, we must get back our face."
”
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked towards the temple.
————
Zhang Xiaofan's wooden house was in a mess. There were a few jars of liquor placed near the wall of the wooden house. There were only a dozen empty jars and a three-eyed monkey, Xiao Hui, who was sleeping soundly with a jar of liquor in his arms.
Zhang Xiaofan picked up five or six jars of wine and walked out of the door to sit on the stairs with the Zhuang tribe leader.
Xiao Hui was sleeping in the house, so it didn't know that its " treasure " had been taken away. Otherwise, it would have jumped up and yelled at Zhang Xiaofan for being despicable and taking away the wine without its permission.
"Good wine." The Zhuang tribe leader drank a mouthful first.
Zhang Xiaofan also took a sip and said,""Do you have any way to help me?”
The Zhuang tribe leader slowly said,"Tell me what your relationship is first."”
Zhang Xiaofan thought for a moment and said sadly,""We can be said to be lovers who like each other and love each other, but have never confessed too much. "She became like this because she saved me. In order to save her, I went through many hardships and finally saved her. However, she…has already lost all her memories.”
The Zhuang tribe leader sighed." Don't be too sad. She's still alive. Isn't that great?" Being alive is more important than anything else."
" Living is more important than anything else," Zhang Xiaofan repeated." Yes, living is more important than anything else.”
"What's your current situation?" asked the Zhuang tribe leader.”
Zhang Xiaofan smiled bitterly." When she was resurrected, she thought I was a demon. She thought I was a demon!" Now, she calls me Uncle Zhang. Am I really that old?”
"Then what do you plan to do in the future?" the Zhuang tribe leader continued to ask.”
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head and remained silent.
The Zhuang tribe leader drank two more mouthfuls of wine and said,""I think you should pursue her again.”
Zhang Xiaofan raised his head and seemed to agree with this suggestion. However, when he thought of the word 'Uncle Zhang', his expression fell again, and he said softly,""Is that so?"
"Did she love you very much before she lost her memory?" the Zhuang tribe leader asked Zhang Xiaofan.”
Zhang Xiaofan nodded.
"Although I don't know what happened between the two of you, I feel that the two of you must have loved each other very much in the past.”The Zhuang tribe leader swallowed another mouthful of wine and said,""Although she has lost her memory now, what if she suddenly regains her memory one day and you give up on her?”
Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled, but he said,""But the Empress said that she had no hope of regaining her memories.”
"Then you can try to create a miracle!”The Zhuang tribe leader might have drunk too much, as his tone became bold,"It's best if you can pursue her. That way, she will be happy regardless of whether she recovers her memories or not. You are also a warrior, you shouldn't be trapped by such a small difficulty.”
Zhang Xiaofan stood up and looked much more energetic. He touched the white hair and said sadly,""But she calls me Uncle Zhang now."
The Zhuang tribe leader pressed his hand on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder and said,""You look really old now, but don't worry. I'll help you dress up and make you a bright warrior in the clan. With your various abilities, you'll definitely charm a bunch of beauties.”
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the Zhuang Clan Leader. The current Zhuang Clan Leader really had the spirit of a clan leader.
The Zhuang Clan Leader also looked at Zhang Xiaofan and asked in confusion,""Can you tell me the name of your 'she'?”
