Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Seeking & Accompanying
A golden glow from the warm glowing sunlight shone down on life in the Nanbao region, the cheers of excitement sounding extremely loud.
This day is designated as a national holiday because of the celebration of one day of the running of the government under the leadership of the new Chief and also the most magnificent and luxurious wedding celebration between the Chief and the Highness Princess Zhai.
The people or ordinary residents will celebrate the excitement in the center of the capital Nanjing by cheering as a sign of respect. Meanwhile, high-ranking officials or nobles will come to celebrate and also witness firsthand the wedding procession of the great center of government.
Seen a handsome man walking hastily among the servants or bodyguards who passed by busy working, the handsome man was like looking for someone.
"Where is he? Disappearing just like that," he muttered with an annoyed grunt.
Sima Junke was looking for the whereabouts of Xiu Qixuan who had disappeared since the sun had not yet risen from the eastern horizon. The man woke up later than he should have, the shaman who treated the blow wounds from his fight with Xiu Huanran last night gave him painkillers to make him feel comfortable and fell asleep very soundly because he was so exhausted.
He continued walking and searching, he asked the servants but they were useless, their answers were always different and when traced Xiu Qixuan's whereabouts were also invisible.
Until Sima Junke traced the remote area of the western wing, he let out a long sigh with sweat flowing profusely as the sun slowly rose.
"What are you doing here? Waking up so slow, you lazy bastard." Pout someone with a familiar voice from the right side.
Sima Junke turned his gaze and locked his sharp vision towards Xiu Qixuan who was slowly appearing.
The girl was wearing a type of clothing and makeup of the noble lady of the Nanbao Tribe to attend a sacred event, it impressed her very differently.
Usually Xiu Qixuan has soft and smooth features such as beautiful petals, but at this time the feature accentuates maturity that seems charming and a little voluptuous.
The light of maturity from the sunlight makes it more sparkling charming.
The loud clattering sound of each accessory hanging on his body rang out rhythmically as his footsteps drew closer.
"Why are you quiet? Come on, we have to get to the big hall, I can't wait to see the excitement." Xiu Qixuan said impatiently and her eyes sparkled beautifully.
Sima Junke was still stunned and unreacted, only speechless to look at Xiu Qixuan as if he was enchanted by such a charming beauty in front of him. That made Xiu Qixuan snort amusedly and pinch Sima Junke's nose to let the man return to full consciousness.
Sima Junke slightly grimaced and rubbed his nose, without further ado Xiu Qixuan pulled Sima Junke's hand to hurry up and rambled, "You're so slow, you're so slow, I don't want to be late to see wedding rituals in the Nanbao tradition."
A meaningful smile was seen on Sima Junke's handsome face and the man said, "You're so anxious to know that you won't be surprised again when you marry me." confidently.
Xiu Qixuan who heard that flashed sharp eyes and sneered back, "Who wants to marry you too,"
That made Sima Junke chuckle and whisper in Xiu Qixuan's ear, "Aren't you pregnant with my successor?"
"A Jun!" Sent with shame.
"You know it's just playing a role" He went on to hide the disturbing feeling of shame.
Sima Junke laughed happily for successfully teasing her, then the man stepped quickly to catch up with her.
"Where did you go? I looked for you to death exhausted," asked Sima Junke with a complaint glancing at the corner of her eyes towards Xiu Qixuan who was beside her and still turning a shy face.
"grandmother?" Sima Junke asked with a confused frown as if he was thinking who the grandmother Xiu Qixuan meant.
Xiu Qixuan nodded and said, "Your grandmother, Aisin Fei. Don't tell me you forgot about it, you haven't visited it, have you?"
Sima Junke was stunned and at a glance his steps came to a halt, making Xiu Qixuan also stop the steps and allow the face to look at him.
"When have you been close to him?" Sima Junke asked with a deep look into Xiu Qixuan's two eyeballs as if tracing those depths.
A gentle smile was attached to her beautiful face then she thrust out a piece of paper for Sima Junke to see and instantly story after story flowed from her tiny lips into an explanation that thrilled her interlocutor.
"And lately I've been seeing him because he looks so lonely, look at the excitement out there still going on even in his absence." At the end of the explanation.
Sima Junke slowly strengthened his heart to see a piece of paper written by the late Sima Xiahou:
'Peace and tranquility will return, and external and internal threats will perish. It's so fun to see kids grow up without carrying grudges and suffering from prolonged conflict.'
Xiu Qixuan saw that the sight trembled violently like trying to hold something that was popping out, Sima Junke must have been very surprised to know that the grandmother was so cruel and covered with revenge.
Her tiny arms slowly stretched out to grip and gently stroke Sima Junke's arm with her wiggly finger then she said, "There's a lot of awkwardness, you have to trace it first. I'll accompany you, "with a gentle, soothing smile.
Sima Junke folded the paper and kept it then slowly looked up to look back and smiled as if everything was fine.
"Okay, you have to keep your promise. If you dare to disappear and leave me, I will search for you to the end of the world." Sima Junke said firmly and smiling convincingly, he retorted his finger to Xiu Qixuan's wiggly finger.
Xiu Qixuan chuckled smallly and said, "You're looking for me in Nanbao territory just exhausted to death let alone looking for me to the end of the world," with a thud and a sneer of disbelief.
"Don't underestimate me" Sima Junke replied in annoyance but Xiu Qixuan did not respond and instead pulled him to continue the previously stalled move.
"Xuan'er," Call Sima Junke
'En,' Xiu Qixuan replied briefly.
"I want to visit grandma, you'll be with me, right?" Ask Sima Junke
Xiu Qixuan simply glanced at him with the corner of his tail and replied, "Sure, after the wedding banquet we will visit him."
Then a moment of silence between the two of them because they were preoccupied by their respective minds. There was only the sound of their rhythmic footsteps rang out loud.
"A Jun," Call Xiu Qixuan to break the silence.
"Grandfather had just left, but Aisin Tianyi had a wedding so quickly. I felt it was very inappropriate, when in Shen— we had time to mourn at least three years after the relatives returned exorbitant." Xiu Qixuan continued with an uncomfortable and cautious face.
Sima Junke who heard that smiled faintly and increasingly tightly clenched Xiu Qixuan's arm then he replied lightly, "In Nanbao did not have time to grieve for that long, when the tribute has been given and the funeral has been held, we are not allowed to show sadness because it can hinder someone's path to arrive at the next stop."
Xiu Qixuan drew a smile and nodded in understanding, she knew from the look in Sima Junke's eyes that he had actually harbored a lot of sadness because ever since the man woke up from a long sleep, he had simply behaved as if everything was fine. Xiu Qixuan was unable to force her, she could only act as a support for this man to keep stepping up to live.
