Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1070

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1064: The Eagle

Bai Qingyan stepped forward to help Bai Qingyu up and signaled Wei Zhong to assist Wang Dong.

She brushed the snow off Bai Qingyu’s shoulder and smiled gently at Wang Dong with reddened eyes, saying, "That you could all return alive is a blessing from God. I know... everyone has done their utmost to protect A Yu. I’m the one who should thank you! Thank you for risking your lives to protect him! For bringing A Yu back! For giving the Bai family... and my mother and me hope!"

Wang Dong was already too choked up to speak; they had finally... returned home!

She grasped Bai Qingyu’s hand tightly, her voice filled with concern: "Weren’t you supposed to return to Dadu City to oversee the situation? Why did you come here?"

"Don’t worry, Elder Sister. I have already sent Uncle Ping to escort the King of Rong back to Dadu City. With Commandant Lu, my uncle, and Mother there, no chaos or danger will ensue. I just couldn’t be at ease with you, Eldest Sister, which is why I disobeyed orders and came." Bai Qingyu’s gaze fell on Bai Qingyan’s belly, "Right now, nothing is more important than the safety of you, Elder Sister, and the child."

She raised her hand to touch Bai Qingyu’s jet-black hair and her fingers brushed against the cold silver mask on Bai Qingyu’s cheek. She choked up and said, "Later, have Doctor Hong take a look at you. Who knows, maybe Doctor Hong can heal your wounds."

"Today is the Four-Nation Alliance, I will accompany Elder Sister first, and after we return, I’ll see Doctor Hong." Bai Qingyu hadn’t told Bai Qingyan that he no longer had any hope regarding the burns on his face; being alive... and being able to return home was already very good.

Attired in a military uniform and wearing deerskin boots, Bai Jinzhi, exuding heroic charm, strode into the courtyard to report to Bai Qingyan that everything was ready. Upon entering the yard, she spotted her elder sister standing beneath the veranda and cheerfully called out, "Elder Sister..."

Seeing the tall figure in a black cape turn her head, even though it was just half a face, it still made Bai Jinzhi widen her eyes. She knew when she was in Daliang that Fifth Brother was still alive, but she didn’t expect to see Fifth Brother here!

"Fifth Brother!" Bai Jinzhi called softly in disbelief. Seeing the faint smile in Bai Qingyu’s eyes, tears instantly welled up in Bai Jinzhi’s eyes, and she hurriedly rushed towards Bai Qingyu, nearly slipping on the snow and shouted loudly, "Fifth Brother! Fifth Brother!"

Bai Qingyu steadied Bai Jinzhi, who nearly slipped, as the young girl was already in tears, clutching her Fifth Brother’s arms tightly, her blurred gaze repeatedly tracing his arms with her hands. Not knowing whether to cry or laugh, she looked up at her lost-and-found Fifth Brother. Before she could speak, she burst into tears with a "Wah".

The living Fifth Brother, not a dream... truly a living Fifth Brother, without any missing limbs, Fifth Brother... has returned safely!

"Fifth Brother! Fifth Brother! Fifth Brother..." Bai Jinzhi seemed to have lost the ability to speak, repeatedly calling out for her Fifth Brother, as she threw herself into his embrace, crying her heart out, and couldn’t help but pound her brother’s chest, "Fifth Brother, why did it take you so long to come back! Why did you take so long to come back!"

Bai Qingyan smiled with relief, watching Bai Qingyu softly pat Bai Jinzhi’s head, yet he refrained from speaking to comfort her, understanding that Bai Qingyu was afraid his voice might frighten Bai Jinzhi.

Upon hearing the news that Fifth Young Master Bai Qingyu had arrived in Pingyang City, Doctor Hong rushed towards the alliance meeting point with the departing team.

Doctor Hong stood atop the city wall, eyes red, watching the line of troops that snaked like a dragon through the vast white snow, his fingers digging into the bricks forcefully, exhaling a long breath, mist rising at the corner of his lips. In his heart, he thanked Heaven for allowing Fifth Young Master to return, and greedily hoped for more young generals of the Bai family to come back.
