2090 Predecessor
“Yan Qing.” Rong Xiu looked up slightly.
Yan Qing, who was standing behind him, took out a stack of paper.
“This is the eulogy I wrote for the clan leader. Everyone, let’s burn it in front of the clan leader’s tomb to comfort his soul in heaven.”
Then, Yan Qing swiftly went over and distributed the papers.
Everyone had one copy each, without fail.
Doing this was considered fulfilling his duties without a flaw.
Chu Liuyue watched on with amazement. Tsk.
Actually, from the very beginning, Rong Xiu had no plans of worrying about this matter. He just said those words casually.
However, this solved everything successfully. Even if this issue was spread in the future, he only agreed to it because everyone requested him to do it.
It wasn’t his fault at all.
Baili Chun had power in the Sky-Cloud Empire for so many years, yet he ended so miserably. Of course, everything was just his own doing.
…
Baili Chun was buried hurriedly like that.
He had no sons or daughters, and his reputation was trashed in Fangzhou City. Nobody in the entire Sky-Cloud Empire went to pay their respects.
After he died, the name ‘Baili Chun’ seemed to be quickly forgotten by the crowd. It seemed as though this person had never existed.
On the day he was buried, Rong Xiu officially became the Sky-Cloud Empire’s clan leader in Jishen Palace!
…
Everything went on smoothly and orderly.
Chu Liuyue knew that Rong Xiu had his own arrangements and did not intervene much. After coming to the Sky-Cloud Empire, she buried her head in the library.
Like Rong Xiu had said, the Sky-Cloud Empire’s library had many precious books. Chu Liuyue hadn’t even seen some of them in Ling Xiao Academy.
Such a number of books was indeed frightening.
Chu Liuyue read the books very quickly.
In the beginning, she just chose to read some medical books. Later on, she slowly chose some lone books.
She learned quite a bit from them, but she didn’t find what she really wanted.
…
After reading for a few days without rest, Chu Liuyue became rather disheartened.
After putting the book back, she sighed deeply.
Rong Xiu walked over. “There are so many books; you won’t be able to finish them in such a short time. Why don’t you rest first?”
As he spoke, he stretched out his long arms and carried her bridal style without hesitation, walking to the bed at the side.
Chu Liuyue originally wanted to struggle, yet after a few days, she really couldn’t take it. Thus, she obediently lay in his arms.
There were too many books here. Even if she read for more than half a year, she probably wouldn’t be able to finish doing so.
Heavens knew how long she had to spend finding the right information.
What would happen if she finished reading them and still could not find the solution?
“Rong Xiu, do you think I’m wasting time?”
Rong Xiu lightly placed her by the side and sat beside her, placing her head on his lap. His long fingers then rubbed her temples and massaged it appropriately.
Chu Liuyue comfortably snuggled in his arms.
Rong Xiu paused in his actions and looked at her with a slightly deep gaze. “Don’t casually move.”
Chu Liuyue immediately became obedient. “Yes.”
Rong Xiu adjusted her posture and continued saying nonchalantly, “Such a thing is not easy. After all, nobody has done it before—”
Chu Liuyue kept silent for a moment and suddenly widened her eyes. “No, perhaps someone has done it before!”
She straightened her body, jumped into Rong Xiu’s arms, and supported herself on his chest. Then, she said carefully, “I want to go to Peach Blossom Dock now!”
