Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: To Make People Pledge Life and Death

Being able to properly say goodbye to Zhu’er is already an immense comfort to Xia Wu.

If she hadn’t encountered Han Jing and the others, she might have remained oblivious to everything, even losing her sanity in the end, without knowing a thing.

Xia Wu pondered for a moment and said to Su Yu, "Clan Leader, I have ordered the guest rooms to be prepared. You can stay here temporarily, and the Clan Leader of Xia Gui Island should come to pay you a visit."

Su Yu furrowed his brow and said, "No need. We are here to find someone, and the fewer people who know, the better."

Xia Wu was taken aback for a moment but still nodded, "Then you all stay at the Island Master Mansion first, and I’ll arrange the island affairs. After that, I’ll send someone to search once more to see if I’ve overlooked anything. There might even be some clues, who knows."

Su Yu paused, "Fine."

Han Jing smiled at Xia Wu, "Then Sister, you go ahead and get busy. We also need to go to the Su Mansion. We have friends waiting there, and we’ll return in the evening."

It’s not the right time now, so even though they have many questions for Xia Wu, it’s not suitable to ask her right now.

Since Xia Wu suggested they stay at the Island Master Mansion, they can wait until she’s handled the matters of Xia Gui Island before slowly understanding everything.

Han Jing then looked at Su Huan, "Young Master Su, come back with us."

Su Huan was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and deeply bowed to Han Jing, "Thank you, benefactors. If not for you, I might never have understood the truth or said goodbye to Zhu’er. This life of mine, I would repay each of you, even if it means being a servant."

Han Jing waved his hand, "No need, living well is the best way to repay us, Zhu’er, and your parents. You are still young and have experienced little. When you truly understand the meaning of living, you’ll know what to do."

What is love in the world, that it makes one vow unto life and death.

Because often, the one who survives is the most painful.

However, life is long, and the world is vast. Decisions shouldn’t be made hastily.

If indeed there’s nothing in this world worth lingering over, then only when you truly have the ability to bear and decide anything should you make a decision.

But now, Su Huan is still young and might not yet understand the true meaning of emotions, and that singular desire to follow a lover unto life and death led to his attempt at suicide.

He’s someone who values emotions and loyalty deeply, and Han Jing has a favorable impression of such individuals. That’s why Han Jing advised him with a few words, hoping he’d understand that though life’s journey often leaves us with no choice, as long as you persistently continue, you will eventually comprehend the meaning of living.

Su Huan stood dazed for a moment before coming to his senses, then deeply bowed to Han Jing once again.

He’s actually a scholar, simple yet somewhat stubborn, and has acquired much from books without truly experiencing or deeply understanding their meanings. Yet the experiences of these past months have made him abruptly perceive many things, although he hasn’t yet had the chance to truly digest them.

Nevertheless, to avoid disappointing Zhu’er, he should earnestly live and do the things they once imagined but hadn’t yet had the chance to accomplish.

He will strive to do so.
