Chapter 1489: Old Friend

Editor: Henyee Translations

Lixia and Liqiu were bewildered. “An old friend?”

Ding Xiang scanned the surroundings and spotted Qiao Xuan. With a cheerful smile, she waved her hands and called out, “Madam Shao! Madam Shao!”

Her melodic voice confirmed her identity as a woman.

Qiao Xuan looked up and recognized her. Stunned.

“You are—”

...

Ding Xiang spared Qiao Xuan the guessing game. Lifting her head, she beamed with a bright smile. “Madam Shao, I am Ding Xiang from Shaoding Village. You visited me that night and brought me food!”

“Ding Xiang!” Qiao Xuan echoed Shao Yunduan’s surprise, nearly bursting with excitement. “Ding Xiang! I knew you would be alright! I had a feeling back then! I never expected this!”

Ding Xiang chuckled and nodded emphatically. “Yes! I’m perfectly fine!”

Despite their brief encounter, the unique circumstances had etched Ding Xiang in Qiao Xuan’s memory. Meeting an old friend from such a distant place, and with Ding Xiang’s warm reception, the two instantly felt a strong connection.

As the two groups merged and resumed their journey, Ding Xiang had changed into simple women’s clothes and settled into Qiao Xuan’s wagon.

Curious, Ding Xiang inquired about the reactions of her former supreme-grade family after her departure.

Qiao Xuan candidly shared the details, and Ding Xiang, unfazed by her grandparents’ response, flashed a cold smile.

Hearing about the rift between Ding Xiang’s family and the supreme-grade family due to her “death,” her eyes moistened. She discreetly tilted her head, wiping away a few tears.

Blaming them for their perceived weakness had been a constant, even after gaining wealth. However, Qiao Xuan’s revelations seemed to dissipate the resentment, bringing clarity.

While her awakening came at the cost of her life, the understanding dawned that her death would render it all meaningless. Recognizing the deep-seated issues in her family, Ding Xiang grasped that change wouldn’t come easily, especially given her father’s history of oppression and her mother’s meek nature.

As Qiao Xuan reassured her about her family’s well-being, Ding Xiang found solace. The news of her supposed demise, while initially upsetting, ultimately reassured her of their love. Even with a changed heart, the familial connection remained in her blood.

Grateful for not having perished, Ding Xiang found comfort in Qiao Xuan’s words. She expressed her joy and proposed calling each other sisters.

With a nod and a smile, Qiao Xuan agreed, “If you don’t mind, we can indeed call each other sisters!”
