Many things in this world were unpredictable.
Di Yue did not know if his grandfather, King Zhuang Xiang, would continue to forgive Lady Zhao if he came to the Bai Yue.
Perhaps, Di Yue finally thought.
Unknowingly, the time had gone from noon to night.
"Old man, I'll go make you something to eat.”Di Yue said softly to the old man.
Di Yue did not wait for the old man's reply and walked towards the kitchen.
The kitchen was simple and crude, and there were still some ingredients.
Di Yue quickly prepared a table of dishes and served them. Di Yue's cooking was much more delicious than Ru Ji's.
"Can we go back?" After eating, the old man spoke to Di Yue.
"I can go back, no matter when. Their children had left their hometown, and the people there would welcome them back no matter what.”Di Yue nodded with certainty.
"I'm not asking everyone. I'm just asking my son and daughter-in-law.”The old man paused and said again.
Hearing the old man's words, Di Yue fell silent.
Can I go back? Di Yue did not want to lie to the old man. Di Yue had never lied in the truest sense of the word, and he would not waver just because he was pitiful.
Although Di Yue had yet to officially inherit the Saint position, he was already a Saint in terms of strength and reputation.
Although saints were unkind. Di Yue wasn't heartless, he just didn't pity her.
"They can't go back. Anyone can go back, but they can't. If you have to go back, you can only..." Di Yue said slowly to the old man.
Although he did not finish his sentence, Di Yue knew that the old man definitely understood what he meant.
Di Yue did not mind, but the Qin Emperor would never agree to it.
In the past, Lao Ai rebelled, and the Qin Emperor was furious, causing the world to tremble.
The lives of hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers did not die in the six states, but in the Qin country.
Now, Di Yue would definitely not make the Qin Emperor angry again, and would not make the Qin Country even more dangerous.
"Is that so? Can there only be two people?" The old man's eyes revealed a deep sense of helplessness.
This time, Di Yue did not reply to the old man. He slowly stood up and walked out of the bamboo house.
The village was silent. The light of dusk shone on Di Yue's forehead.
The moment Di Yue walked out of the bamboo house, the old man in the bamboo house closed his eyes forever.
Di Yue walked into the village step by step. When they came in at noon, there were still people. Although there weren't many, there were still quite a number of people.
But now, there was no one left.
When Di Yue stepped out of the village, he saw hundreds of people of all sizes outside.
There were old people, children, and teenagers.
Amongst these people, the ones at the front were the old man's son, Chen Hui, and his daughter-in-law, Ru Ji.
"Has my father left?" Chen Hui asked Di Yue.
"Let's go. Before leaving, the ones who are most worried are you and your wife.”Di Yue nodded.
Then, Di Yue saw that everyone was silent.
Obviously, the old man's departure made them feel sad. Just like the departure of King Zhuang Xiang, there were also people who felt sad. It was just that it was too obscure.
"Brother Zhimeng, I wonder if Father's request is acceptable?”After a while, Chen Hui raised his head and looked at Di Yue.
Di Yue didn't answer and shook his head.
"Is that so?"
Chen Hui's eyes dimmed.
"In the past, Fan Li and Xi Shi were also two people. They held your hand and grew old with you. I returned to the mountains and forests, but there was no news." Di Yue looked at the silent Chen Hui and said indifferently.
This was the greatest gift Di Yue could give. If it was Chen Hui, what other thoughts would he have? Di Yue had no choice but to personally send Chen Hui and Ru Ji to meet the old man in the bamboo house.
This could be considered compensation for eating a meal with Ru Ji.
"I understand. Ruji, let's find a place to live in the future.”Chen Hui nodded at Di Yue before turning to his wife Ru Ji.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Ru Ji nodded and laid her head in Chen Hui's arms.
Di Yue was listening to their conversation.
"You two take this. You can both cultivate. After all, there were only two of them. No matter where they lived in seclusion, they had to guard against wild beasts.”Di Yue took out a book and handed it to Chen Hui.
Chen Hui held Ru Ji in one hand and took the book with the other. "Brother Zhimeng, what is this?"
"A little bit of ordinary cultivation techniques can help you defend yourself.”Di Yue said indifferently.
"Thank you, Brother Zhimeng." When Chen Hui heard Di Yue's words, he did not reject and accepted the ancient book.
It was already very late. The villagers who were standing at the side returned to the village one by one.
Every villager passed by Chen Hui and Ru Ji. The man patted Chen Hui's shoulder.
The woman and Ru Ji looked at each other. Even the children shook hands with Ru Ji and Chen Hui.
When all the villagers returned to the village, only Di Yue, Chen Hui, and Lady Zhao were left.
"Brother Zhimeng, let me take you there.”Chen Hui said to Di Yue.
"Aren't you going back to see your father first?”
Although it was already very late, Di Yue would not let the old man who had just passed away lead the way for him.
"It's okay. The villagers will help me take good care of Father.”Chen Hui said sadly.
Hearing Chen Hui's words, Di Yue didn't try to persuade him.
"Then, lead the way."
