Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544: Chapter 541: Alive_1

Under the flickering copper lamp, Xiao Rongyan bowed his head, recalling the swordsmanship of that Ghost-faced General, praising it inwardly.

He lifted his gaze to Bai Qingyan and said, "His sword moves are fierce. The swordsmanship is clean and decisive. The cold light shines unpredictably, capable of taking a life in an instant. This kind of achievement with the sword cannot be reached without decades of training by a highly talented individual. And his archery is equally impressive. He should be on par with you."

Bai Qingyan’s palm suddenly tightened. The image of the Ghost-faced General mounted on a horse overlapped with the memory of A Yu in silver armor, standing valiantly on horseback.

Bai Qingyan’s face went pale, half of her body numb.

A Yu...

Seeing Bai Qingyan’s deathly pale face, Xiao Rongyan straightened his back in alarm. "What happened? Are you injured today?"

Coming back to her senses, Bai Qingyan shook her head, steadying herself. If the Ghost-faced General truly was A Yu... Bai Qingyan would thank the heavens for returning her brother.

She believed that if A Yu knew she was in Dengzhou, he would find a way to contact her.

If A Yu were indeed alive, how could he bear to let her and their mother be so heartbroken?

She was already in Dengzhou, not far away in Shuoyang where he couldn’t send word.

Originally, Bai Qingyan planned to return to Shuoyang as soon as possible. But now, she had to stay longer. If A Yu didn’t come to contact her, she would venture into the enemy territory to meet this Ghost-faced General.

Bai Qingyan stood up and bowed to Xiao Rongyan. "Mr. Xiao, take good care of your injury."

"Miss Bai!" Xiao Rongyan stood up, taking two steps forward. But as the door was open, he refrained from making any inappropriate moves. He merely lowered his voice. "Were you injured today?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao. I am not injured! Farewell!" Bai Qingyan nodded slightly to Xiao Rongyan, then took Chun Tao’s hand and stepped over the threshold, her eyes welling up with tears.

Standing under the corridor, Xiao Rongyan watched Bai Qingyan’s departing figure, his brows furrowed, worried she might be injured without disclosing it. He then recalled Bai Qingyan’s suddenly pale face when she asked him about the Ghost-faced General.

He had never seen Bai Qingyan so out of composure before.

Xiao Rongyan’s tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed. Could it be... that Bai Qingyan suspected the Ghost-faced General of Nanrong to be a Young General of the Bai family?

Stepping out of the courtyard, Bai Qingyan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, tears flowing uncontrollably.

The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that the Ghost-faced General was A Yu.

Her brother A Yu was still alive!

The Ghost-faced General must be A Yu!

"Miss!" Chun Tao exclaimed, seeing Bai Qingyan’s tears. Blood rushed to her head. "Was Mr. Xiao being rude?"

Chun Tao still hadn’t forgotten that night when Xiao Rongyan intruded into Bai Qingyan’s boudoir. She always felt that this Mr. Xiao, who had helped the Bai family, was too frivolous and presumptuous towards Miss Bai.

"Chun Tao, I am happy!" Bai Qingyan laughed softly.

What could be happier news than A Yu being alive?!

Bai Qingyan had thought countless times that if she could trade her life for a slim chance of A Yu’s survival, she would do so willingly!
