Chapter 482: Not Your Fault
"Alright then." Ning Ruoxue thought for a moment, then she smiled: "Then you must promise to come back safely."
"I promise, I will definitely come back in one piece," Chen Yu smiled.
"When you leave, aren't you going to go see her and your daughter?" Ning Ruoxue said.
Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of stinging pain in his heart slowly magnified.
Ye Xinyu—it had been a long time; he didn't know how she and their daughter Yushan were doing now.
"No matter what, go say goodbye to them," Ning Ruoxue sighed and said: "Actually, I think there are some misunderstandings between you and her. Since you have decided to leave behind the identity of your past life, you should go see her."
"I understand, thank you," Chen Yu nodded slightly.
Truth be told, even now he didn't understand why things had reached this point between him and Ye Xinyu.
The Ye Xinyu of the past was gentle and considerate, and even after being subjected to domestic violence so many times, she had no complaints. Why did she change after life got better?
That evening, in that long-lost "home," Chen Yu held his daughter, coaxing and teasing her, feeling very happy.
Chen Yushan in his arms was already over two months old, and she was much sturdier than the average infant.
She was teased by Chen Yu until she giggled, and ever since Chen Yu arrived, the smile on her face had never ceased.
Ye Xinyu stood to the side, silently watching Chen Yu and their daughter, a trace of a long-lost smile appearing on her lips.
"How have you been lately?" Chen Yu looked up at Ye Xinyu.
The moment Chen Yu looked up, the smile on Ye Xinyu's lips vanished instantly. Her face remained that cold, unapproachable mask, and in the face of Chen Yu's concern, she only nodded slightly.
"If you need anything, contact this number. The resources of the several major families in Fengling can all be called upon," Chen Yu wrote down a number for Ye Xinyu.
"Not needed," Ye Xinyu said with a cold expression, not even glancing at the number in Chen Yu's hand.
Chen Yu sighed. He didn't understand why Ye Xinyu was so resistant to him. He put down the number, then took out an Amulet and placed it on his daughter.
"This thing was blessed by an expert. Wearing it keeps you safe. You and our daughter both have one," Chen Yu said as he took out another one and handed it to Ye Xinyu.
This time, Ye Xinyu did not refuse. She took the Amulet from Chen Yu's hand and put it on.
A trace of a smile appeared on Chen Yu's face. At this moment, Chen Yushan grabbed his hand, babbling.
"The baby is hungry, I'm going to make the formula," Ye Xinyu said.
"Let me do it. From the time she was born until now, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father," Chen Yu gave a bitter smile, placed his daughter in the stroller, and began to prepare the milk.
Watching Chen Yu pour the powder, test the water temperature, mix the milk, and then carefully hold the bottle to feed their daughter, Ye Xinyu felt as uncomfortable as if a stone were blocking her heart.
"Chen Yu... actually, you don't need to feel guilty," Ye Xinyu took a deep breath, holding back her tears: "Actually, I have always known that you are not my husband. Inside your body, lives another person."
"The soul is not, but at least the body is," Chen Yu looked up: "Since when did you know?"
"From the very beginning, I knew," Ye Xinyu's eyes turned slightly red: "You are not him, because he could never be this good to me."
"I know. If it weren't for you coming, he might have already died. I am also very grateful to you for giving me such a happy time, but I'm sorry, I cannot accept this fact," Ye Xinyu's tears streamed down.
Chen Yu felt very troubled. He sighed and said: "Thank you to this body for giving me the chance to live again."
"I have forgotten the past. I am him. No matter what you think, I must protect you both."
"Thank you, but I really don't need it. You should go do what you need to do," Ye Xinyu took the bottle from Chen Yu's hand and slowly picked up their daughter.
"Take care," Chen Yu nodded and turned to leave, unaware that the moment he turned, tears fell involuntarily.
Ye Xinyu closed her eyes, tears falling in large drops. She held her daughter tightly and murmured: "Yushan, say goodbye to Daddy."
Chen Yushan in her arms waved her little hands, babbling as if saying goodbye to Chen Yu.
The next day, Chen Yu set off. Now in Fengling, Chen Yu had the support of several major families and the secret assistance of "Shadow," so his friends and family in Fengling were almost under no threat.
The feeling of blood being thicker than water regarding He Lingyun left him unable to let go, so he had to go clarify his relationship with her and figure out his own origins.
He Lingyun had traveled the whole way by car. Besides wanting to clarify what happened back then, she also wanted to clear her mind, so she did not take a plane.
According to the news, her first stop was 'Wangchuan' County near Ning City. It is said that there is a river here that shares the name with the River of Oblivion of the Yellow Springs, which is why this place is famous.
Therefore, this place has become a popular spot for internet influencers. It is said that making a wish at the Wangchuan River scenic spot can help one forget all their troubles.
Of course, these claims were all hyped up by internet influencers, but the popularity was indeed high. Chen Yu took the high-speed rail to C City, which governs Wangchuan.
It was already noon when he arrived in C City. It took another five or six hours by bus from C City to Wangchuan, and when Chen Yu arrived, he only just caught the last bus to Wangchuan.
The Xiang Region is mountainous, and this dilapidated bus was private and already near the end of its life. Coupled with the bumpy mountain roads, the journey shook people until they were almost ready to vomit.
Fortunately, Chen Yu's Cultivation was extraordinary, so no matter how bumpy the road was, it didn't matter to him.
However, the members of an elderly tour group on the bus were not so lucky.
This elderly group consisted of about twenty people, all in their sixties, traveling together. Before they had even gone halfway, someone had already vomited.
The driver was already used to this situation; plastic bags had long been prepared on the bus, and the whole way, the vehicle reeked.
"Young man, eat this, it can stop the vomiting." A couple in their sixties next to Chen Yu took out motion sickness medicine to take, and seeing Chen Yu alone, they took a pill and handed it to him.
"Thank you, I can handle it, I don't need this," Chen Yu smiled. He was, after all, a Martial Ancestor Realm expert; this little bit of bumping meant nothing to him.
"My medicine wasn't bought at a hospital; it was passed down from my ancestors to stop vomiting. The road is still long, and ordinary people really can't handle it," the old man smiled.
"Really, no need, thank you," Chen Yu saw the couple was kind-hearted and smiled: "Is the old gentleman going on a trip?"
"Yes, we both just retired. When we were young, we didn't get to travel around much, and now that we finally have time, we just want to go out and walk around, looking for some peace and quiet," the old lady smiled: "Are you going alone, young man?"
"Yes, just looking around," Chen Yu nodded.
"Haha, it's good to travel more while you're young. My name is Xu Wanshan, and this is my wife, Li Xiumei. What is your name?" the old man asked.
"Chen Yu," Chen Yu smiled politely.
"We are from Ning City. How about you? What do you do?" Li Xiumei asked.
"I'm from Fengling, I practice Traditional Chinese Medicine," Chen Yu said.
"Oh, we're in the same field then," Xu Wanshan was surprised, and he immediately became interested in Chen Yu: "There aren't many young people studying Traditional Chinese Medicine these days. You're still in the internship stage, right? The study time for Traditional Chinese Medicine is long."
"But if you can persist, your future prospects will be immeasurable."
"Does the young man have a master? If not, you can go to Ning City. Our old Xu is the president of the Ning City Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, he can definitely find you a master," Li Xiumei smiled.
"Thank you both, I have already obtained my Traditional Chinese Medicine qualification certificate," Chen Yu smiled. The old couple was truly very warm-hearted.
"You've obtained a Traditional Chinese Medicine qualification certificate at such a young age? Not bad, young man, really not bad." Xu Wanshan was even more surprised, and he immediately held Chen Yu in higher regard.
Chen Yu smiled; this couple was warm-hearted and good people, so he began chatting with them right away.
The two had many topics in common, and the more they talked, the more astonished Xu Wanshan became, because Chen Yu's insights into Traditional Chinese Medicine were extremely seasoned, to the point where he even felt inferior.
Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, the car suddenly stopped; a service area had been reached, and the tour guide, who had been all smiles when collecting money, pulled a long face: "We've reached the service area, everyone get off the bus."
