Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands

"Reawakening?" You Ruojin raised her head and looked at Luo Huian with stunned disbelief. "You mean to say that—I can reawaken?"

"That's right," Luo Huian nodded and said to You Ruojin, "I know that you might think that it's impossible but you need to trust me on this. Just try to take care of this egg and wait for it to hatch. As long as the spirit inside of this egg imprints on you and takes you as your master, you will be able to reawaken."

You Ruojin was a skilled woman. However, because she was not confident and was filled with doubts and uncertainties all her life, she ended up awakening as an F rank hunter, but if she was given the right direction, Luo Huian was certain that You Ruojin would have awakened as an F rank hunter and she would have never needed her help.

You Ruojin looked at the egg in her hands and asked in a trembling voice, "Where?"

"What?" Luo Huian asked with a little frown on her face. She didn't quite catch what this woman was trying to say. What did she mean by 'where?'

"Where did you get this egg?" You Ruojin asked again and this time around, Luo Huian understood the gist of her question.

She rubbed the back of her neck and stated, "oh, you mean to ask where I found this egg? You don't have to worry about it. I didn't steal it; this egg was trapped in the tomb high on the mountain. That tomb is not a place for this egg to stay; even if it stayed there, the demonic energy inside that tomb would have sucked all of its heavenly aura and would have erased it completely."

"So, I did this little thing a favour by bringing it out of the —"

Luo Huian was still speaking when You Ruojin reached out and hugged her. Though You Ruojin grew up in a loving family, her parents only did what they could; they never went out of their way to risk anything for her.

During the time she was trapped by that mer, her parents could have indeed helped her but You Ruojin didn't tell them because she knew that they would have first asked if it was really necessary to go against that mer.

They would have even tried to play it safe while hoping that things would get better on their own.

You Ruojin didn't want them to feel troubled because of her; thus, she never told them the truth.

But what Luo Huian did really touched her heart. She went out of her way to go up on those mountains that looked shady and terrifying and she even stole the egg that was trapped inside a demonic tomb. She could have done it for a million reasons, but ultimately, she did it for her benefit, and You Ruojin couldn't help but silently thank Luo Huian.

Because she knew that the second she opened her mouth, she would end up brawling.

Luo Huian was stunned when You Ruojin hugged her. She patted her awkwardly, something that she learnt after being hugged by Luo Qingling countless times. She asked, "Hey, are you alright?"

"Thank you…" You Ruojin spoke gratefully. Her shoulders trembled as she said to Luo Huian, "Thank you so much... I can't believe that you went to such lengths for me."

"There is no need to thank me." Luo Huian waved her gratitude with a wave of her hand and then said, "This is something that I am supposed to do. This is supposed to be my duty—"

You Ruojin pulled back and then took her hands in hers. She looked at Luo Huian with a teary but determined look on her face. "Don't sell yourself short. You climbed up the mountains and went to look for this egg even though you sensed that there was something weird about that tomb. Not many would have the courage to do something like this. Especially for someone else."

"You are too kind, Sister Huian. You just don't know it."

Luo Huian blinked her eyes. She lowered her head and said, "I am not that kind. I did something wrong —and I—"

"Does it matter?" You Ruojin asked as she raised her head and tilted her head to one side while looking at Luo Huian. She smiled at her and said, "even if you did something wrong, you have made up for it, right? Just because you did something wrong in the past, no one has the right to torment or look down at you as long as you are willing to make it up for it."

She raised her hands and patted Luo Huian on the shoulders before saying to her, "You cannot carry a burden that you have untangled on your shoulders just because you once committed an unforgivable offence. Everyone deserves a second chance, Sister Huian."

"Are you okay, Huian?" Xiao Bai softly asked Luo Huian, who was sitting inside her room while staring at the moon brightly lit in the sky. She was sitting on the window sill with one knee propped up and a hand resting on it.

"Do you think... I was supposed to be forgiven?" Luo Huian asked after a very long pause. She stared at the moon and pursed her lips before saying, "I was punished for what I did or didn't do... so was I supposed to be forgiven?"

After listening to You Ruojin say that as long as she made up for the things that she had done wrong, there was nothing she needed to feel sorry about, Luo Huian couldn't help but think things through again.

Either one of the two people was speaking the truth.

The immortals in the realm told her that she had to pay for her sins all her life because it was her fault that she didn't notice the evil intentions of Wei Yuxian and Gu Sirou.

Even though her biggest mistake was befriending the wrong person, she was treated like a sinner for years. Even her grandmother threw her here because she wanted to punish her some more, believing that she had not done enough.

And yet You Ruojin said that as long as she suffered because of the consequences of her wrong actions, it was enough. The burden that she had once untangled cannot be carried all her life.

So who was speaking the truth? Who was the one who was correct in the end?

Luo Huian could not understand.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai couldn't bring themselves to say that there was something wrong with what You Ruojin said to Luo Huian. After all, that woman was correct.

Luo Huian had once been whipped to the point that her soul scattered; she was whipped for three days and two nights. She was thrown into an icy cave where she couldn't even take care of her wounds before being dragged out and then whipped again.

Each hit of the heavenly whip was so painful that it felt like being whipped by countless thunder strikes, and Luo Huian was whipped until she was almost dead. And yet, she was still treated as a sinner by the entire realm until she lost her smiles and turned rigid and cold.

She didn't even resemble a living person, as she lost all her emotions.

Luo Huian stopped trusting others and started taking all the solo missions and even if there were missions that needed teamwork, she went on those missions alone.

Luo Huian had suffered to the point where anyone would have gone crazy. So why was her crime still unforgivable? Why did the immortals treat her as if she had committed a grave offence? She made a mistake but she didn't do it knowingly.

The one who betrayed her was in the wrong.

Not Luo Huian herself!

"Huian," Xiao Hei began but he was interrupted by Luo Huian, who raised her hand and said, "There is no need to say anything, I know."

She knew that You Ruojin was right. She also knew that what she did was not unforgivable but the immortals used her as a punching bag. They wanted to blame someone because they were angry and ashamed that Wei Yuxian and Gu Sirou plotted a rebellion right under their noses.

But was Wei Yuxian really wrong? Now that Luo Huian thought about it, she couldn't say that he was in the wrong. That man only wanted the immortals to become a bit more human; they were not Gods but they behaved like one.

Their rules were stiff and cold, just like them.

Life on the immortal realm was suffocating and people were unforgiving.

Suddenly the whip marks on her back started to sting and Luo Huian winced. She raised her head and looked at the sky once again. A cold smile adorned her lips as something cracked inside of her.

Maybe You Ruojin was right. It was not her who was in the wrong, but those who were still holding her crimes against her were the ones who were in the wrong as they were being petty.
