Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 63 Su Yao

Meanwhile, Wen Xingyu, standing outside the door, also looked anxious and helpless.

She knew that it was somewhat reckless of her to come and disturb Huan Yuechu, but the situation was urgent and lives were at stake! She had no choice but to do so.

If your own life is threatened, wouldn't that be a matter of life and death?

Wen Xingyu vaguely heard Huan Yuechu's dissatisfied voice coming from inside the house, and hurriedly called out, "Sister Yuechu, it's me, Xingyu. I have something very urgent to tell you."

Huan Yuechu recognized Wen Xingyu's voice, sighed, and had no choice but to get out of bed and open the door.

As soon as the door opened, seeing Wen Xingyu's flustered face, Huan Yuechu's initial anger subsided somewhat, and she asked softly, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

Wen Xingyu hurriedly handed over the jade pendant and said anxiously, "Sister Yuechu, look, this jade pendant appeared on my bedside table for no reason and it's emitting strange fluctuations. I feel like big trouble is coming."

Huan Yuechu took the jade pendant and examined it carefully, her brows gradually furrowing.

Huan Yuechu held the jade pendant, sensing the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from it, and her expression became serious.

"The spiritual power of this jade pendant is very strange, and its origin is not simple," Huan Yuechu said.

Wen Xingyu nervously clutched the hem of her clothes. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. "Sister Chu, could it be that those evil cultivators are coming to cause trouble for us again? We almost couldn't escape them last time."

Huan Yuechu shook her head. "It doesn't seem like it. The spiritual power of evil cultivators is mostly filthy. Although the spiritual power on this jade pendant is dangerous, it is pure. But whoever it is, since it was delivered to your bedside, it must be for you."

Wen Xingyu's face turned pale. "Me? Why? I haven't offended anyone."

After pondering for a moment, Huan Yuechu said, "Perhaps we have a karmic entanglement, otherwise this jade pendant wouldn't have appeared out of nowhere. Xingyu, has anything strange happened to you lately?"

Wen Xingyu shook her head blankly.

Huan Yuechu returned the jade pendant to her. "Keep this jade pendant safe for now. Stay at the inn for the time being. I'll check some ancient books and see if I can find any clues about this jade pendant. Also, never let the jade pendant leave your body; it might be the key to unlocking all the secrets."

Wen Xingyu gripped the jade pendant tightly and nodded heavily.

The next morning, a melodious flute melody suddenly drifted in from outside. The melody seemed to possess a magical power, captivating all who heard it.

Unable to sleep due to the noise, Wen Xingyu's previously agitated heart instantly calmed down, and she unconsciously walked towards the direction of the flute sound.

Seeing this, Chongyang followed out of curiosity.

The boy playing the flute stood under an ancient tree, and a man dressed in white appeared beside him at some point.

The man had a cold and stern face, but his eyes were filled with endless sorrow.

A glint flashed in the man's eyes as he saw Wen Xingyu approaching.

The young man stepped forward and said, "Miss Wen, this is the person I was talking about."

Wen Xingyu glanced at him, frowned, and said bluntly, "I don't know him."

Just then, the man looked directly at Wen Xingyu with deep eyes and slowly said, "Xingyu, a thousand years have passed, and you have forgotten me."

Wen Xingyu felt a sharp pain in her head, and some unfamiliar images flooded her mind.

It turns out that a thousand years ago, she and this man had a deeply unforgettable love affair, but they were forced to separate because of a great war.

Now that she has been reincarnated as an ordinary person, she has naturally forgotten the past.

Wen Xingyu looked at the man, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

The man knew that Wen Xingyu had remembered! He gently comforted her, "It's alright. In this life, I will definitely protect you and help you remember the past." After saying that, he took Wen Xingyu's hand. Although Wen Xingyu resisted a little, she did not pull away.

Chongyang watched in stunned silence, wondering how this bizarre event would unfold.

Just then, Huan Yuechu rushed over.

Seeing the scene before her, she frowned, quickly walked to Wen Xingyu's side, and separated herself from the man who was holding her hand.

"Who are you? Why are you being so abrupt with Xingyu?" Huan Yuechu looked at the man warily.

The man glanced at Huan Yuechu, his expression indifferent. "I am Xingyu's beloved from a past life. I have come here today only to protect her. And who are you?"

Huan Yuechu sneered, "I don't care who you are. Now that Xingyu is staying with me, I will protect her."

The man's grip on Wen Xingyu's hand was severed by Huan Yuechu, and Wen Xingyu's lost mind instantly returned to clarity.

Wen Xingyu looked at the man and said bluntly, "Even if we were in love before, I am a different person now. What do past entanglements have to do with me?" In her heart, she wondered if she had just encountered a ghost.

Upon hearing Wen Xingyu's words, a look of pain flashed across the man's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Xingyu, I know this is hard for you to accept, but my love has never faded across a thousand years.”

Wen Xingyu said impatiently, "Why can't you understand me? I don't want to have anything to do with you right now." With that, she tried to pull Huan Yuechu away.

The man gently raised his hand, and an invisible force froze the two of them. "Don't force me."

In just a second, I silently broke free from that damned immobilization spell.

In an instant, a powerful pressure surged from my body, sweeping towards the man opposite me like a tidal wave.

The man's face was filled with shock and astonishment. He stared at me with wide eyes, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Clearly, he never expected that someone with such terrifying strength as me would exist in this seemingly ordinary city.

The man was shocked, but that didn't stop him from getting down to business.

He snorted coldly and said, "If you can't take Xingyu away today, don't blame me for being ruthless!" After saying that, his aura surged again, and the sound of wind and thunder could be faintly heard.

Just as the atmosphere was about to become tense, a clear voice came: "If you say you love her, why do you use such coercive methods?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman dressed in an ancient cheongsam slowly walking towards them.

The man's expression changed when he saw her. "What are you doing here?"

The woman scoffed, "I'm here to stop you from making a mistake. Do you think you can win Xingyu back by force? She has been reincarnated and has a new life."

The man, indignant, gritted his teeth and said, "But I love her. How can I accept this after waiting for a thousand years?"

The woman approached Wen Xingyu and Huan Yuechu and whispered, "Xingyu, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

She turned to the man and said sternly, "If you really love her, then let go and give her the freedom to choose."

The man remained silent for a long time, then slowly lowered his hand, the madness in his eyes gradually fading. "Perhaps you're right."

He looked at Wen Xingyu, his eyes filled with reluctance and deep affection, "Xingyu, if you change your mind, I will always protect you from the shadows." After saying that, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.

As he was about to leave, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a sinister glint in the man's eyes. He hadn't given up at all; was he pretending? Was he trying to lower Wen Xingyu's guard by feigning weakness?

Wen Xingyu, who was next to me, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the woman gratefully, "Thank you for your help, sister."

The woman smiled slightly, "No need to be polite. I just couldn't bear to see him do something wrong. My name is Su Yao. I was originally a wandering spirit in this world, and it took me many years of cultivation to gain my current abilities."

Wen Xingyu looked at her curiously, "Sister Su Yao, why are you helping me?"
