"That girl is Bai Xiaoxue, your destined person? You... you finally met."
I nodded, I couldn't hide this from her.
Disappointment flashed across Xu Jing's face, but only for a moment.
"I'm happy for you. Maybe only she can bring you happiness."
I thought there was something in her words, and when I was about to ask something, she blocked my mouth and shook her head.
"I'm fine, I'm just tired and want to rest for a while. Can you stay with me here?"
I nodded.
"You can sleep peacefully. I'll be here to watch over you and won't go anywhere."
Xu Jing closed her eyes peacefully and fell into a deep sleep.
I just stayed by her bed and looked at him quietly.
An hour later, Lan Yue called. I quietly got up and went outside to answer the phone.
"The commander-in-chief has already completed your last task for you."
"One last thing? What is it?"
"Chu family." She spit out two words.
I immediately understood that after the Immortal Slayer was eliminated, the three spirits that had attacked my grandfather must also be eliminated.
Now, the Long family has been slaughtered by Xu Jing, and the black snake spirit of the Yin family has also been killed by me.
Only the demon from the Chu family was left.
We planned to settle Xu Jing and go fight him to the death. Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief had already helped me solve it.
But I vaguely felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, Lan Yue said next: "Although the demon was eliminated, the boss was also seriously injured."
My heart sank.
"Where is the Commander-in-Chief?"
"It's in his office. If it's convenient for you, come over. The boss may have something to tell you."
I said, "Since you were seriously injured, why are you still in the office and why don't you go to the hospital quickly?"
Lan Yue smiled bitterly.
"He was injured by a demon. How can it be possible to go to the hospital? And the boss won't go. Okay, come here."
After hanging up the phone, I stood up and looked at the sleeping Xu Jing worriedly. At this time, Bai Xiaoxue came over and said, "You go see the commander, I will take care of her."
I nodded.
Then I walked out.
Half an hour later I pushed open the door of the Commander-in-Chief's office. He was still wearing a black suit, leaning on his office chair a little tiredly with his eyes closed.
There were no signs of injury on his appearance.
"Commander." I shouted.
His eyes slowly opened.
"coming."
"Commander, are you okay? I heard Lan Yue say you..."
He interrupted me with a wave of his hand and motioned for me to sit down.
"I asked you to come because I have some final words to tell you."
I was stunned.
Final words?
"Commander, you will not die. No matter how injured you are, I can help you heal it. Let me see your injuries."
The commander forced a smile.
"Who said I'm going to die? Do you look like I'm going to die?"
I'm a little embarrassed.
"How are your injuries?"
"In the past years that I have been the commander-in-chief, I have often been associated with monsters. It was like dancing on the tip of a knife. A little injury is nothing, but the monster from the Chu family is indeed very powerful, and I almost broke it."
I said, "I should be the one to deal with him, so why do you take the risk on my behalf?"
He said: "We don't interact with each other for more than a day or two. We can be considered friends. Since we are friends, I can't always use my words to make you move your legs. I also have to do something for you."
"Besides, it's not just your job to get rid of these demons, it's also my job. You don't have to blame yourself, let alone be grateful to me."
"Okay, I don't have much time, let's get down to business."
"After I leave, you can only take over the position of commander-in-chief."
"You, where are you going?"
“The world is so big, where can I go?”
"But why do you want to leave?"
"I can't work until I die, right? Do you think being the commander is easy? Do you know how many risks I have taken over the years? How many times have I almost lost my life?"
"I'm too tired. I'm really too tired. I have to resign. I have already told the senior management and they agreed and accepted the person I recommended. That is you."
"Me? No, it's not good if you leave and let me be the commander-in-chief, right?"
"you are not willing?"
I said, "Isn't this a question of whether you want to or not? You have already said that it is not easy to be the commander-in-chief."
He smiled.
"Others can't do it, but you can. I won't misjudge the person. That's it."
He stood up from his office chair.
"Oh, don't be so sad. Anyway, I helped you get rid of the demons in the Chu family. What's wrong with you just helping me?"
He put his face in front of me and said: "Although this job is not easy to do, it does have a lot of privileges. At least in the hot summer from now on, you can walk sideways in both black and white, and the higher-ups will give you three points of thin face." , Also, the salary of the commander-in-chief is not low, at least tens of millions a month. Of course, money is an extraneous thing, but the key is that with money you can live a better life, and the safety of your women is more guaranteed."
"In short, there are many benefits, and you won't suffer any loss."
He patted my shoulder with a half-smile.
"Work hard. I believe in you. Don't think that everything will be fine after you get rid of the Immortal Slayer and those demon families. From now on, Yan Xia's safety and future will all depend on you."
"Let's go." He stepped out of the door very gracefully.
"Commander..." I wanted to say something, but he didn't look back, just waved his hand.
"I know you miss your grandpa, don't worry, you two will meet."
"But……"
His figure quickly walked out of my sight.
Where I couldn't see it, he slowly took out the scroll that the Black Heart Fairy gave him from his pocket and spread it out, the expression on his face became serious.
"Black Heart, you wait for me, I will continue to help you atone for your sins."
And my cell phone rang suddenly. I took out the phone and saw that it was my mother calling.
Thinking about it, it has been more than a year since I left home.
I almost never called home, mainly because of the three things my grandfather told me at the beginning, one of which was to tell me never to go back to the mountain village again.
I hurriedly pressed the answer button, and my mother's voice came from over there.
"Son, your grandpa is back. He is not dead. He is still alive. You can go home."
I was stunned.
"My grandfather..."
"He is waiting for you at our house. Come back quickly. Mom misses you so much."
When I hung up the phone, I felt like I was in a dream.
Then my grandma called me again, and she only said one sentence.
"Take that girl named Bai Xiaoxue home with you."
After hanging up the call from grandma, the phone rang again. It was Bai Xiaoxue calling.
"Xu Jing is missing."
"What? Isn't she asleep? Aren't you always by his side?"
"Oh, after you left, I have been keeping watch here. She just disappeared when I went to the bathroom. Could it be..."
I rushed back immediately.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Bai Xiaoxue looking worried.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being careless. Do you think anything will happen to her?"
I shook my head.
"The Immortal Slaughter and the three spirits have been eliminated. Without any enemies, nothing should happen to her."
I walked around the room where Xu Jing slept, and suddenly I saw a piece of paper half exposed under the pillow. I quickly took out the piece of paper.
Sure enough, it was a letter left by Xu Jing for me.
I finished reading the letter and let out a long sigh.
Bai Xiaoxue asked: "Where did she go? Is she okay?"
"She's gone." I handed her the piece of paper.
Bai Xiaoxue read: "Li Yang, I'm sorry, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye in this way. I didn't want to leave you. I really wanted to stay by your side because I love you so much, but God gave me a chance." , but I have already missed it. Now, you have Bai Xiaoxue by your side. She is a good girl and your destined person. I don’t want to be an obstacle or barrier between you."
"I will always remember the beauty between us. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and live well. Maybe one day we will meet again, so you should also live well. Finally, I wish you and Bai Xiaoxue the best."
Xu Jing's name is written at the bottom.
Bai Xiaoxue looked up at me.
"Is it because of me?"
I shook my head.
"It has nothing to do with you."
"Li Yang, although I am your destined person, love is also about first come first served. You know her first. I think your feelings for her are much deeper than your feelings for me, so you go find her. ,I do not blame you."
I smiled bitterly.
"Xu Jing is right. Both of us have missed the opportunity given to each other. Love also requires timing. Our opportunity has been missed."
"But……"
"It's okay, I will send someone to find her. After all, she is a girl, but she and I... I'm afraid we will never be able to go back to the past."
"Bai Xiaoxue, do you believe in fate?"
Bai Xiaoxue nodded.
"Of course I do."
"It's all destined to come and go."
As I said that, I took out my mobile phone and made a call.
Shu Wen's voice came from over there.
"Li Yang, I heard that your matter is over. Have you returned to Jianghai? Why don't you come to us? We are almost dying of anxiety."
After settling the matter of the Immortal Slayer and the three spirits, I haven't had time to meet those women yet.
"I'm fine, everything has been resolved."
"What about our sect leader? Have you rescued him from Sin City?"
I said: "The person who manages Sin City is the Commander-in-Chief. With just one word from him, your sect leader can be released."
"Then... then you go find the commander quickly."
"No need to look for it, because now, I am the commander-in-chief."
"ah?"
"I will ask them to release the sect leader, but there is something I need your help with now. The Long family was destroyed, and I brought Xu Jing out, but she left without saying goodbye. Can you help me find her?"
"Okay, don't worry about this, I'll go look for it right away."
"Okay, now I want to go back to my hometown to see my grandpa."
"Ah? Isn't your grandfather already..."
I didn't explain anything and hung up the phone.
Three hours later, Bai Xiaoxue and I were already standing at the entrance of our hometown village.
The village is still the same village and has never changed.
Mom supported grandma and stood at the entrance of the village to greet us.
I saw that grandma had a few more strands of white hair, and my mother was also a lot more haggard.
I couldn't go home or even contact them for more than a year, and they were worried.
"Mom, milk..." I walked up, and my mother held me in her arms and cried bitterly.
"My son, you are finally back safe and sound."
Grandma touched my face and said with a tearful smile: "Good boy, it's good to come back. It's good to come back. Come on, let's go home."
I introduced Bai Xiaoxue to them, and my mother happily took Bai Xiaoxue's hand, just like her own daughter.
As soon as I entered the house, I asked where my grandpa was.
"I'll be waiting for you in the old house." Mom said.
Grandma held me with one hand and Bai Xiaoxue with the other.
"Son, when that grimace appeared on your father's heart, I knew it was because of the actor. I also knew that the actor was actually the person your grandfather had always hidden in his heart."
"I know better that your grandpa is not an ordinary person, but your grandma and I are just an ordinary person. When I marry your grandpa, I just want to live an ordinary life, so even if I understand some things very well, I have to pretend to be confused. Can you understand?"
I nodded.
"Grandma, I understand that you have been wronged over the years, but you have to believe that grandpa loves you and has you and this family in his heart."
"Of course I know this. No matter what happens between him and that woman, as long as he has this family in his heart, it's enough."
"Okay, take Xiaoxue to the old house to find your grandpa. He is waiting for you there."
Bai Xiaoxue and I both nodded.
