Chapter 313 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 17
Dugu Ye was filled with confusion, and he couldn't suppress his inner impulse, so he wanted to go and ask in person.
The sunlight cast dappled light on a quiet alley next to Baichuan Academy in Lianhua County.
Dugu Ye appeared here in casual clothes, accompanied by his personal bodyguard Yunyin.
My eyes fell on a house not far away. Although the house was not ostentatious, it exuded a sense of elegance and tranquility. Lotus flowers could be vaguely seen blooming in the courtyard, complementing the surrounding scholarly atmosphere.
"But here?" Dugu Ye turned his head and asked Yunyin behind him.
"Replying to the Majesty...Replying to the Young Master, this is the place."
Yunyin almost blurted out "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince", but fortunately he changed his words in time.
Dugu Ye didn't care about Yun Yin's slip of the tongue. He walked slowly to the door of the mansion and said to Yun Yin, "Knock on the door. Just say you're passing by and want to take a look."
Yunyin nodded slightly, raised his foot and stepped forward, "Dongdongdong..."
He knocked gently on the door of the house.
Soon, the door creaked open, revealing a simple and honest face. It was Uncle Zhou.
"May I ask what can I do for you two?"
Zhou Bo looked the two people in front of him up and down. They were well-dressed and had extraordinary bearings. They looked like nobles, but they did not have the slightest bit of arrogance. He did not understand what they were doing here, and was very cautious in his words.
"Old man, we are just passing by here. We saw this quiet and elegant house and were attracted by it. Could we ask for a glass of wine and take a look around?"
Yunyin spoke before Duguye, his tone sincere and polite.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bo looked embarrassed and thought: My wife is pregnant and there is no male host at home, where will the wine come from?
Besides, it is not appropriate to invite strangers into your home.
Just as he was about to decline, he heard a clear and gentle voice coming from the courtyard: "Uncle Zhou, since they are guests coming from afar, why not invite them in?"
Yu Yao was dressed in plain clothes and had a simple bun with only a jade hairpin inserted diagonally. With a smile on her face, she slowly walked into the front hall.
When her eyes met Dugu Ye, she felt complicated, happy, and had an urge to rush into his arms and kiss him fiercely.
But thinking that he had been reincarnated and forgotten his past, he suppressed this urge.
"Please."
Yu Yao put away her thoughts, raised her hand gently, and motioned for the two to come in.
Dugu Ye walked into the house, his eyes involuntarily fell on her, and the familiar feeling in his heart came over him again.
The woman in front of him seemed to have traveled through time and space, overlapping with the clever woman in the beast world in his dream.
Apart from their looks, their behavior was very similar, even the way they looked at him was the same.
But he was elusive and shrouded in mystery, as if there was an indissoluble bond between the two.
"My name is Dugu Ye, and this is my servant Yun Yin. I'm sorry for disturbing you, Madam. Please forgive me."
Dugu Ye bowed and saluted, his manners were dignified and cultured.
Yu Yao smiled faintly and said in return: "Yu's greetings to you, sir. You are too kind. It is a great honor for us to have you two come to our humble home."
"Yu? Is this the surname of Madam's husband's family?"
Dugu Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked casually.
Her face froze. She had never been married, so where would her husband's family come from?
As for the child in her belly, it was the product of helping Xuan Ji get rid of the poison by the Zhoujiazhuang River.
"No, this is my own last name," she said.
Dugu Ye knew it, and he wanted to ask who her husband was, but he couldn't find a good reason to ask.
After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but speak, but he changed his words: "Madam Yu, women usually take their husband's surname after marriage, why is it different for you, Madam?"
Yu Yao's eyes flickered as she listened to Dugu Ye's words, and she was considering how to respond.
She gently stroked the corner of her clothes, and the simple and elegant clothes seemed to carry her unknown past.
"My lord, you don't know that although there are many rules in this world, people's hearts are different. I have known since I was a child that women can also stand tall and do not need to rely on anyone. As for the surname, it is just a symbol of identity. For me, the Yu family not only represents my bloodline, but also proves my independence from the world."
When Dugu Ye heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. The woman in front of him seemed weak, but she had an indomitable spirit. She was exactly the same as the woman in the beast world in his dream, as if they were the same person.
It made his heart ripple. Although his heart was in turmoil, he did not show it on his face.
He looked at Yu Yao and said calmly, "Madam, you have unique insights, which are admirable. I am Dugu Ye. Although I am a man, I also yearn for a free and unrestrained life and do not want to be bound by the secular world. It is a great honor to meet you today."
Yu Yao stared at him with a smile on her face. She remembered that this man used to be very domineering and cool. He would fight over things if they didn't agree with him, and his words could choke someone to death. He never gave anyone face.
Of course, I am always gentle when facing her.
After the first reincarnation, he became different and became gentle and polite.
She smiled faintly, "Mr. Dugu, you are too kind. I just did what I wanted."
Dugu Ye stared at her without blinking, his eyes deep.
The clever woman in the dream was also very free and easy. He asked tentatively: "Since Madam is in such a state of mind, you must have experienced many unusual things, right?"
Yu Yao naturally heard that Dugu Ye was testing her, but she pretended not to know, "Why did Master Dugu say that?"
Dugu Ye raised his lips slightly, "Madam's words and deeds are different from others. She doesn't look like an ordinary woman. I can't help but be curious about her past."
Her smile deepened and she just stared at him.
It seems that Dugu Ye knew something, but it was not comprehensive, or he only knew half of it.
She was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Everyone has their own story. Some things are better kept in the heart."
She had no plans to rekindle her past relationship with Dugu Ye, mainly because she was already pregnant, and she couldn't let him become a father, right?
That's really not a good thing.
Dugu Ye frowned slightly when he saw that she didn't want to say more.
"Madam Yu, I..."
He wanted to say something but stopped himself. The inexplicable emotion in his heart drove him to explore more, but he was afraid of touching memories that should not be touched.
A moment of silence.
He took a deep breath and decided to have a frank talk with the other party. "Madam Yu, I have something to tell you. Can we find a more convenient place?"
Yu Yao was slightly startled and just looked at Dugu Ye with complicated eyes.
She lowered her eyes, knowing in her heart what Dugu Ye wanted to ask.
Silence for a few seconds.
Finally, he nodded and whispered, "In that case, Master Dugu, please follow me to the backyard for a chat."
After saying this, he turned and walked towards the backyard.
Dugu Ye signaled Yunyin with his eyes to wait there, and then followed Yu Yao's footsteps.
The two walked through the winding corridor and came to the backyard.
The flowers in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the fragrance is overwhelming. It seems that even the air is filled with an inexplicable feeling.
"Please take a seat."
Yu Yao invited Dugu Ye to sit down at the stone table and brewed a pot of tea herself. The lingering fragrance of the tea added a touch of elegance.
"I wonder if Master Dugu has anything to say to me?"
She gently pushed the brewed tea in front of Dugu Ye, looked at him and asked in a calm voice.
Dugu Ye picked up the fragrant tea in front of him, took a sip, and then put it down.
He looked at her, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have been troubled by dreams recently, and the things that happened in the dreams are also related to Madam. Madam also gave me a sense of déjà vu, as if there is a deep fate between us, but I am very sure that I have never seen Madam before, and I don't know Madam. Madam, can you tell me why this is?"
Yu Yao smiled when she heard this, her smile was meaningful, she took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder what Master Dugu dreamed about, can you tell me about it?"
If she guessed correctly, this man must have dreamed about his past life.
Otherwise he wouldn't have come to me, but he didn't know what was going on, so he wanted to come to me for help.
