127: Chapter 127 Reconciliation
Upon hearing this, Ji Chanxi suddenly felt even more uneasy.
Tears finally couldn't be held back, slipping from the corners of her eyes as she choked out:
"But... but our husband clearly has a sound transmission talisman, why hasn't he sent us a message yet?"
What she thought was, Ye Xiaoyao had a sound transmission talisman but hadn't sent a message, yet he was still alive.
The only possibility was that he had been imprisoned, or was severely injured, his spiritual power nearly depleted, unable to use the sound transmission talisman.
Thinking of this, even though comforted by Lu Jiajing, Ji Chanxi only felt more heartbroken.
She was very worried about Ye Xiaoyao's safety.
Just then, Pei Yuhan, who had previously been at odds with Ji Chanxi, walked to her side.
She gently drew Ji Chanxi's slightly delicate frame into her arms, letting her nestle against her chest.
Pei Yuhan held Ji Chanxi's slender waist with one hand, her other jade-like hand gently stroking Ji Chanxi's back, comforting her tenderly like an elder sister:
"Don't worry, we must believe in our husband, believe that he will surely be fine."
Suddenly embraced by Pei Yuhan, Ji Chanxi was somewhat at a loss.
She hadn't expected that, after her own harsh words towards Pei Yuhan earlier, the other could now set aside past grievances to comfort her.
This filled her heart with deep remorse and gratitude.
She did not resist, allowing Pei Yuhan to hold her.
She even deliberately leaned her body closer into Pei Yuhan's embrace, resting her head on Pei Yuhan's shoulder, treating her completely like a good elder sister, akin to Song Yu and Fu Hongxue.
After Pei Yuhan finished her words of comfort, Ji Chanxi, her eyes rimmed red, looked up at Pei Yuhan, whose face also showed worry yet feigned composure, and softly said:
"Sister Yuhan, I was immature before, always picking fights with you, even deliberately mocking you.
Thinking back on it now, I was truly too much. I wronged you, sister. I hope you can forgive my past actions."
Pei Yhan smiled gently and shook her head: "It's alright, Sister Chanxi. What happened before is all in the past.
Besides, we never truly came to blows, did we? Let's not dwell on it anymore.
Now, with our husband still having no news, we should set aside past grievances, unite our efforts, and find him as soon as possible!"
At this moment, the two women who had once been at odds, opposing each other and vying for favor,
for Ye Xiaoyao, for their shared husband, finally resolved their past grievances. No longer causing trouble for each other, they joined hands to advance and retreat together.
If Ye Xiaoyao knew, he would surely be very pleased.
Both Ji Chanxi and Pei Yuhan were his beloved women.
He did not wish to see either of them heartbroken, sad, or wronged. He hoped they could live in harmony, loving each other like true sisters.
At this time, Lu Jiajing, who had been standing to the side, also stepped forward, embracing both Ji Chanxi and Pei Yuhan with an arm each, and said softly:
"Dear sisters, although we had our conflicts before, it was all for our husband's sake.
Now that we've all resolved our differences, from now on we are truly one family.
We must get along well and serve our husband together!"
Ji Chanxi finally showed a smile: "Yes, Sister Lu is right!
We must get along well from now on, serve our husband together, and not target each other anymore."
As soon as the words fell, a streak of extremely swift light suddenly came from the distance.
In the blink of an eye, the light arrived before the three women, hovering in mid-air.
It was precisely the sound transmission talisman Ye Xiaoyao had sent earlier.
Ji Chanxi recognized it at a glance; it was Ye Xiaoyao's specially made sound transmission talisman.
She quickly took the Talisman, exclaiming joyfully: "Look, sisters, it's our husband's sound transmission talisman!"
She channeled spiritual power into the Talisman, and Ye Xiaoyao's voice came forth:
"Chaner, Haner, Jinger, I am well now, not in any danger.
Don't worry about me. After you meet up, head to Zhongzhou first. Once I finish handling some matters, I'll come find you to reunite!"
The voice was very brief, stating only this and nothing else.
The three women were initially overjoyed to see it was Ye Xiaoyao's sound transmission talisman.
Especially Ji Chanxi; her eyes, still red, brimmed with irrepressible delight.
But when they heard Ye Xiaoyao say he still had matters to handle and couldn't come meet them immediately,
the three women's joyful mood turned somewhat disappointed.
Particularly since Ye Xiaoyao only mentioned handling 'some matters' without clearly stating what those matters were.
This left the three women feeling somewhat puzzled and confused.
They couldn't fathom what matters Ye Xiaoyao couldn't tell them directly, choosing to conceal them instead.
A not-so-good thought quietly arose in the hearts of the three women.
They faintly guessed that Ye Xiaoyao seemed to have encountered new romantic prospects.
Yet, all three women remained tight-lipped, not voicing it to each other, only exchanging a knowing glance intacit agreement.
Then, Ji Chanxi pinched the sound transmission talisman in her hand.
The Talisman transformed into scattered fragments, drifting away.
Ji Chanxi let out a soft sigh.
She had originally thought Ye Xiaoyao would tell them where he was, or that he was coming to find them.
But Ye Xiaoyao had matters to handle again, had to separate from them, and told them to go to Zhongzhou first.
This indicated the separation time was uncertain, perhaps very long.
Thinking of this, Ji Chanxi's nose stung again, and she couldn't help but start to cry once more.
Pei Yuhan held her jade-like arm with one hand, using her other hand to gently wipe the tears from the corner of Ji Chanxi's eye.
Seeing this, Lu Jiajing smiled and offered comforting words:
"Alright, alright, don't you worry. Since our husband says so, he must have his reasons.
We just need to trust him, listen to his words, and wait for him properly.
After all, we'll reunite sooner or later!"
Although Lu Jiajing was also disappointed, being slightly older than Ji Chanxi and Pei Yuhan, she didn't indulge in sentimentality.
After a while, comforted by Pei Yuhan and Lu Jiajing, Ji Chanxi gradually stopped feeling sad and distressed.
She rallied herself, smiling as she said to her two elder sisters:
"Sisters, shall we go to Zhongzhou together? Let's wait for our husband there, as he said."
Pei Yuhan smiled and nodded: "Yes, let's listen to our husband. We'll go to Zhongzhou first."
Lu Jiajing took both women's hands, leading them as they flew together towards the direction of Zhongzhou.
Three trails of light streaked across the sky, gradually fading into the distance.
