Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 300 - "Who are you?
Chapter 300: Chapter 300 “Who are you?
Flat Peak Mountain is just as the rumors described, with its peak covering approximately 20,000 hectares, smooth as a mirror—it truly is the perfect airstrip.
Qi Yue marveled for a moment before taking out the airplane once again.
Both of them boarded the plane, but their moods were different from last time; after all, this time they were going to fly the plane into the sky.
To ensure nothing went wrong, Qi Yue even quizzed Zhao Xiyan for a bit, and to her surprise, his answers were perfect.
“No wonder everyone calls you the genius War God, you actually learned it?”
“This is much simpler than learning martial arts. As long as I try to fly it, I’m confident I’ll manage. This way, we can always stay together, Yueyue. I don’t want to be apart from you anymore, not even for a day.”
...
Seeing Zhao Xiyan both showing off and stirring emotions, Qi Yue also gained confidence.
“Alright, let’s give it a try then!”
So, Zhao Xiyan took the pilot’s seat, while Qi Yue sat as the co-pilot.
The two first smoothly glided on the mountaintop. After multiple successful tries, Zhao Xiyan finally pulled the control stick, and the airplane soared into the sky, carrying them into the vast horizon above.
Though it was a bit rough at the start, Zhao Xiyan quickly got control of the plane.
This guy’s hand-eye coordination and sense of direction were really strong. It didn’t take long for him to take Qi Yue for a round trip over Longnan County Government’s airspace.
Looking at the houses below them, the size of a fist, and the pedestrians as small as ants, Qi Yue screamed with excitement.
She never expected that in this world, she would still have the chance to fly an airplane.
“Zhao Xiyan, I really didn’t expect it, but you can actually fly!”
“Of course. I’ve said before, don’t underestimate your future husband.”
“From now on, I won’t doubt you anymore. Is it okay if I leave all the difficult problems for you to handle?”
“No problem.”
“Hahaha, I am so happy.”

Qi Yue, overjoyed, shouted and laughed in the co-pilot’s seat, goofing around for a while.
Remembering that the plane had an automatic photo feature, she asked Zhao Xiyan to slow down so she could take pictures of the entire Longnan Region.
Three Shichen later, the two returned to the airspace above Flat Peak Mountain.
By then, the day was no longer young, the sky grew dim, and with the light fading, Qi Yue couldn’t help but worry about the landing.
Yet Zhao Xiyan reassured her not to worry.
“Yueyue, it’s been a few Shichen. I’ve got this plane under my fingers; landing will not be an issue!”
True to Zhao Xiyan’s word, he spoke and landed the airplane, and he did it smoothly too!
Qi Yue couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up.
“So strong!”
With Zhao Xiyan learning how to fly the plane, Qi Yue had no choice but to take him along.
As a result, those who had been selected to escort Qi Yue could only step back.
Zhao Xiyan spent a day delegating Yecheng’s affairs
To deceive the uninformed, only four people of varying heights and builds knew about the departure of the two.
That evening, the two changed their appearances and put on ordinary clothes. They left Yecheng before the city gates closed.
After a brief rest on Flat Peak Mountain, their plane took to the skies once more.
At first, Qi Yue was just as excited as before, but after one Shichen, she lost interest and started to take snacks from the space to pass the time, occasionally tossing some to Zhao Xiyan as well.
This might be one of the benefits of coming clean about her identity to Zhao Xiyan.
No need to hide and hoard. Whatever she wanted to eat or use, it was very convenient.
After yet another Shichen, Qi Yue could no longer hold on and had already fallen asleep, leaning against the chair.
As for the pilot Zhao Xiyan, he was still watching the world in front of the plane with bright eyes, skillfully operating the aircraft.
It wasn’t until dawn the next day, with the plane bumping, that Qi Yue finally woke up.
At first, she was a bit confused. Recalling that she was on an airplane, she panicked slightly.
She had slept all night, forgetting about Zhao Xiyan—he had been flying tired all night!
But when she looked at Zhao Xiyan, she found him full of energy, brimming with vitality, engaged in the landing procedure!
That look didn’t resemble someone who had flown a plane all night.
With a “whoosh,” the plane came to a halt.
Qi Yue hurriedly looked outside.
The empty fields seemed to be in the outskirts of the Capital City!
“Have we arrived?”
“Yes,” Zhao Xiyan turned off the plane’s power and turned to look at her.
It was just dawn, and a red sun was rising in the distant sky, instantly bathing them both in a glow of orange brilliance.
“How beautiful!” Qi Yue couldn’t help but exclaim as she gazed at the sunrise in the distance.
“Yes, it is indeed beautiful,” Zhao Xiyan answered, but his gaze never left her.
Qi Yue, belatedly aware, blushed for a moment and quickly opened the hatch to get down, followed by Zhao Xiyan.
Fortunately, it was now cold, there were no crops in the fields, and no farmers, so their movements went undetected.
Qi Yue neatly packed away the plane and then released two horses. She and Zhao Xiyan each took one and headed into the city.
The Capital City was still as it was before, as if unchanged, yet it seemed different.
“Xiyan, it doesn’t seem as bustling as it used to be, does it?”
“Yes, ever since Lin Yuan became the Prime Minister, he has increased the taxes. Most merchants are operating at a loss, and the Governor’s Office won’t allow them to close their stores, so they have all fled the Capital City.”
“Isn’t this a way to court disaster?” Qi Yue pinched the horse’s reins she held and lowered her voice.
“Who says it isn’t?” Zhao Xiyan sighed, glancing at the distressed expressions on the faces of the passerby, “It’s the common people who suffer the most.”
“….”
The two conversed quietly and quickly found lodging in the city.
This time they had come to perform a secret operation, so they did not plan to go to the Ducal Mansion in broad daylight.
The action plan had been agreed upon: after arriving in the Capital, they would rest for a day, and after emptying the Imperial Palace and the Prime Minister Residence at night, they would directly leave.
Currently, everything was proceeding according to plan.
Qi Yue rested in the inn while Zhao Xiyan went to discuss the matter of departure with Zhao Yongzhe.
Shen Yu, hearing they would be reunited with her son, naturally agreed immediately.
The Zhao Family now was not the same as it was before the confiscation; the servants were fewer, and there wasn’t much to pack, so it was all sorted out swiftly.
Everything was going smoothly, just waiting to finish the night’s operation and leave.
But there was still a small mishap.
In the afternoon, when Zhao Xiyan had not returned, Qi Yue grew restless on her own and decided to take a walk outside.
After all, it had been a long time since she had been to the Capital City, and she felt a bit nostalgic.
So she left the inn and strolled, unwittingly finding herself on the street where they had last emptied the Emperor’s private vault.
Qi Yue felt a rush of exhilaration upon seeing that the Treasure Pavilion had indeed closed down for good.
She had taken quite a lot of gold from the Emperor’s private vault!
While she was reminiscing, suddenly a hand tapped her on the shoulder.
Qi Yue thought it was Zhao Xiyan catching up to play a joke on her, so she didn’t give it much thought and turned around, exclaiming, “How did you manage to be here…..”
She was cut off mid-sentence and swallowed the rest of her words.
She didn’t recognize this person.
In his twenties, not bad-looking, spirited, with sharp eyes, and a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
Initially, she thought he had seen through her disguise, but then she thought that couldn’t be the case.
This face-changing technique wasn’t so easy to see through, besides, this man, even if he did know her identity as Qi Yue, they wouldn’t recognize each other!
Could it be someone she had encountered while disguised as a man?
With this thought, her expression cooled.
“Who are you?”
