Chapter 625 Settle the Grudge
After a brief greeting, Youla took the initiative to ask Shao Yun to fulfill the agreement she had made with him more than a month ago, which was to completely settle the grudge between the two.
But she was a little embarrassed to say it in front of Ying and Paimon.
"Um...By the way, are you free tonight? Regarding the matter I mentioned to you before, I think it's time to put an end to it now."
Shao Yun looked at Eula, who had a particularly strange expression in front of him, and naturally knew what she wanted to say.
"Oh, so that's what you mean."
Seeing that Shao Yun understood what she meant, Youla didn't say any more.
"Yes, that's it." Eula nodded and said, "It's better to solve this kind of thing as soon as possible. This will benefit both of us."
Shao Yun answered very straightforwardly: "Okay, no problem at all on my end. But..."
Having said that, Shao Yun paused, then slowly turned his gaze to Ying and Paimeng who were sitting next to him and winked at them.
Youla followed Shao Yun's gaze, and when she saw Ying and Paimeng, she was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Ying, Paimeng, can I borrow Shao Yun for one night?"
Ying was surprised by Youla's sudden words.
Especially when she heard the word "borrow", she suddenly felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart. How could her husband lend it to others casually? What Eula said was so strange!
"Ah? Why does this sound so weird?" Ying frowned and complained in confusion, "Besides, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand anything?"
Eula realized that her expression just now might not have been clear enough, which could easily lead to misunderstanding.
So, she quickly explained: "Oh, I don't really mean to 'borrow' Shao Yun. In fact, I just want to discuss something important with Shao Yun alone."
Ying looked at Eula with a suspicious look, thinking: Why does Eula look so strange today? But since we have something to discuss...
So, Ying nodded and responded: "Oh, although it feels strange, but okay, no problem."
Hearing Ying agree so readily, Youla thanked her, "Thank you for understanding my difficulties."
"I still have patrol duties to perform, so I'll excuse myself for now." After saying that, she turned around and prepared to continue her patrol work.
However, just after Eula took a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
She patted her forehead lightly and said in annoyance, "Look at my memory. I forgot to tell Shao Yun where to meet."
Then, she turned around and shouted to Shao Yun, "Oh! By the way, Shao Yun, let's meet on the high ground north of Fontaine tonight."
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
……
After Youla left, Paimeng, who had been silently observing the development of the situation, could not suppress his curiosity, so he approached Shao Yun and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"So, Shao Yun, what exactly are you and Eula planning to do? Why do you have to meet alone in the suburbs at night..."
As Paimon spoke, his mind was racing, with all kinds of strange thoughts popping up in his mind.
Suddenly, Paimon thought of something extremely dangerous for her, his face instantly became serious, and he accused seriously.
"Could it be that Eula is going to make some super delicious food, and you want to eat it all by yourself without telling me? Humph, you are so mean!"
Shao Yun couldn't help feeling helpless when he heard that Paimon actually mistakenly thought that he and Eula had made the food behind her back.
He smiled, then slowly turned his head, his eyes fell on Ying, and asked, "Ying, why do you think Youla wanted to talk to me alone?"
Compared to Paimon, Ying’s thoughts are more realistic, but a little too realistic.
She frowned and said, "Actually, I don't care what you guys want to talk about. It's just that I'm really worried that you're going to kill Eula. I hope you understand what I mean."
After hearing what Ying said, Shao Yun was confused. He had no idea why Ying suddenly came up with such a strange idea.
"What are you talking about? How could you have such an outrageous idea?"
Ying took a deep breath and explained, "I'm just worried that you will fight with Eula... You know, your relationship with Eula, her relatives are indeed a bit problematic. But, Eula... Please don't kill Eula, okay."
At this moment, Paimon heard that Shao Yun might kill Eula, and he immediately got angry at Shao Yun like a kitten whose tail was stepped on and its fur stood up.
"What? Shao Yun, are you really planning to kill Eula? Absolutely not! She is a good friend of mine and Ying! She is also harming us. If you really dare to kill Eula, I will never talk to you again!"
Seeing that Ying and Paimeng really thought that he and Eula were going to have a life-and-death duel, Shao Yun no longer hid it and quickly explained.
"Don't guess too much. Eula wants to reconcile with me. But when she calls it reconciliation, she actually wants to give up revenge in a dignified way."
Then, Shao Yun started talking about some truths like a great philosopher.
“History will only remember those who succeeded in their revenge. The stories of the losers have long been lost in the long river of history.”
After a pause, he continued, "I always say that revenge is a luxury we cannot afford. Revenge is a game for fools. However, we are not smart people... but Eula has learned to be smart!"
After listening to Shao Yun's explanation, Ying suddenly understood and felt relieved.
"Oh~ So that's what's going on. That's not bad. At least in this situation, this may be the most appropriate solution."
"But I never thought that Eula would actually give in on her own initiative..."
Shao Yun had not expected that things had come to this point, so he could only ask: "So, are you going with me tonight, or... do you want me to go alone?"
"I think that a girl like Eula, who is so proud at heart, just doesn't want too many people to see her giving in. However, if it were you, I feel that even if you went, Eula probably wouldn't say anything."
Ying touched her chin, thought for a while, and then gave an ambiguous answer.
"Well... Paimon and I will indeed go. However, we plan to hide a little far away from you and observe secretly."
After hearing Ying's rather complicated arrangements, Shao Yun asked, "Oh, there's no need to make it so complicated! Why do you have to hide so much? You don't really think..."
Ying shook her head and explained her reasons for doing so.
"Listen, I'm not doubting that there's some unknown special relationship between you and Eula. I'm worried about something else. Do you still remember Tadala?"
When the name Tadela was mentioned, Ying's eyes dimmed instantly, and a hint of sadness that was difficult to conceal flashed across the depths of her eyes.
She recalled the scene in the desert where this best friend, second only to Jade, died in her hands.
"You were the one who killed all the members of the Lawrence family. This is not just ordinary hatred."
"Now, Eula said that she wants to end the feud with you once and for all. I'm really afraid that this so-called 'end' will eventually turn into... you know."
After Ying's reminder, Shao Yun suddenly understood and nodded, agreeing: "I think you are right, it is indeed possible."
Seeing that Shao Yun agreed with his concerns, he repeated what he and Paimeng were going to observe secretly.
"Paimon and I will observe in secret. If we see anything wrong, Paimon and I will show up immediately. I will knock Eula out, and then we will send Eula back to her home together!"
This plan sounded perfect, but when Shao Yun heard what Ying said, especially the part about knocking Eula out, he found it a bit ridiculous.
"Are you really sure that you can knock Eula out so easily?" Shao Yun looked up and down at Ying beside him with a playful expression.
Ying noticed Shao Yun's doubts about her own strength and responded without showing any weakness.
She first stretched out her left hand and pressed her right shoulder hard, then waved her right arm, clenched her fist, narrowed her eyes, and revealed an elusive mysterious smile.
"Why? Do you want to test my strength right now?"
Seeing that Ying was eager to try, and looked like she was determined to verify it on herself, Shao Yun quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"No, you should save your energy for any emergencies that may occur tonight."
……
Time passed quickly and it was night in the blink of an eye.
Eula finished a whole day of police patrol and prepared to reconcile with Shao Yun tonight.
In one hand she held a box full of cold beer and in the other she held some fresh ingredients.
After a while, she arrived at the high ground north of Fontaine.
This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with only the tranquility and peace of nature as your companion.
Eula looked around and saw that this place was nice, so she started to build a simple campfire camp.
She picked up dead branches and leaves on the ground as kindling, then she took out a box of matches from her pocket and struck it lightly.
The light from the bonfire not only illuminated Eula's face, but also warmed the air around her.
In the light of the fire, Eula continued to work.
Eula found a large fallen tree trunk and laid it horizontally on the ground to use as a makeshift chair.
After a short rest, she skillfully processed the ingredients she brought into grilled wild mushroom chicken skewers and Mond grilled fish.
After completing this series of operations, Youla placed them neatly next to the campfire and slowly roasted them.
Time passed by minute by minute, the bonfire burned brightly in the night, and the aroma of wild mushroom chicken skewers and Mond grilled fish also wafted out at this moment.
Youla sat on the tree trunk, waiting for Shao Yun to arrive.
