Chapter 421 Seeking help
On the road from Mo Gang to where Bai Zixuan was. This was a path winding through the mountains and forests, with towering trees on both sides, branches and leaves intertwined, and the sun could only shine through the gaps to cast mottled shadows. From time to time, there were crisp bird calls, which made the road even quieter. The dirt road underfoot was a bit bumpy, and occasionally a few protruding stones could be seen, as if telling the vicissitudes of life that this path had experienced.
Lin Ruoxue, she was wearing a plain outfit, her posture was still straight, but her expression was full of fatigue and worry. She carefully put the jade pendant that carried the mystery of her life in her arms, as if it was her most precious treasure at the moment and her only hope. She walked with a slightly hurried pace, without stopping for a moment, she left the Mo Gang and set foot on the road to Bai Zixuan's direction.
Along the way, her mood was as complicated and heavy as the unpredictable weather in the mountains. She pursed her lips tightly, frowned slightly, and her eyes were intertwined with worry, doubt and uneasiness.
She couldn't help but reach out and touch the jade pendant in her arms. The warm touch came through her clothes, but it couldn't calm her panic at all. She was worried, what if she was really a Khitan, what would all this mean? Would the prestige she had worked hard to build in the Mo Gang and the deep friendship between her brothers all be destroyed by the sudden truth of her life? She couldn't imagine how the brothers in the gang would look at her if they knew about this, and whether the trust and intimacy they once had would collapse in an instant, replaced by suspicion and alienation.
But she secretly hoped that this might just be a huge misunderstanding. Maybe the jade pendant was just a coincidence and had no real connection with Khitan. She was still the Lin Ruoxue who grew up in the Central Plains and was loyal to the Mo Gang.
However, no matter what the result is, she urgently needs to find out the truth at this moment. And Bai Zixuan is the only hope she can grasp at this moment.
Bai Zixuan has been in the martial arts world for many years and has a wide range of knowledge. He has some understanding of the cultural customs of various places. Lin Ruoxue thought that maybe he could recognize the origin of this jade pendant and solve the mystery of her life.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace, kicking the stones under her feet and causing them to roll slightly, making a slight sound. But this sound seemed particularly loud on this quiet mountain forest path, as if her inner panic at the moment was infinitely magnified.
From time to time, she looked up into the distance, which was the direction where Bai Zixuan was, but as far as her eyes could see, there was nothing but continuous mountains and forests and endless sky. She didn't know how long she had to walk before she could see Bai Zixuan, nor did she know if he could really give her the answer she wanted after seeing him.
With every step she took, her anxiety grew. She was afraid to hear Bai Zixuan say something that would prove that she was a Khitan, and she was also afraid that he had no clue about the jade pendant. If that happened, what would she do? Wouldn't the mystery of her origin continue to shroud her like a fog, leaving her struggling in confusion and anxiety?
Lin Ruoxue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She told herself that no matter what the result was, she had to face it bravely. But despite this, her hands still trembled slightly unconsciously, which was caused by the fear and worry deep in her heart.
Just like this, with a heart full of complicated emotions, she walked firmly step by step on the road leading to Bai Zixuan, as if she was walking towards an unknown place where her fate would be judged, and she could only wait for the final judgment, whether good or bad, and had to bear it.
