It can be said that the appearance of Yu Ge and Feng Qingchen really shocked Zhao Shuning quite a bit.
In her memory, they should have been top - secret existences. So much so that Zhao Shuning once didn't even consider them real people.
She still remembered.
In the last few days before their separation.
The whole group had reached the dimensional tunnel. But this time, it was different from before. Two people were not going back.
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Mu.
"Have you made up your mind?"
Su Mu nodded.
"Emperor Zun, I'll leave the affairs of Qingyun Kingdom to you. I'm really sorry to entrust this matter to you."
In Qingyun Kingdom, he only had a younger sister named Su Nian left. But more than forty years ago, his sister had already found a good destination.
At that time, when Su Nian appeared in the palace of Qingyun Kingdom with a man named Xie Bo, he was extremely shocked. Fortunately, she had forgiven him.
"Emperor Zun, thank you for your trouble."
Yan Ruyu said, "It's your choice. I don't blame you."
Originally, it was Yan Ruyu who had handed over Qingyun Kingdom to Su Mu. He had already sacrificed a great deal for the kingdom. Now that he wanted to withdraw, Yan Ruyu had no reason to force him to stay.
"Buran, I'm troubling you."
"A - jie, you're being too polite."
Yu Ge and Feng Qingchen stood aside, watching the siblings bid farewell to each other.
Su Mu was still talking to Buran.
Zhao Shuning walked up to Yu Ge.
As if anticipating her arrival, Yu Ge said, "Daughter - in - law, what's up?"
Zhao Shuning said, "Senior, um... I'd like to ask you something."
"Is it about Little Yezi?"
"Ah?"
"Yes, I almost forgot. Little Yezi is your grandfather."
Zhao Shuning nodded.
Then she said, "Senior, how do you know my grandfather?"
Yu Ge said, "If you keep calling me senior, then you don't need to ask me about this matter."
"Then..."
Zhao Shuning looked a bit flustered and cast a pleading look at Feng Qingchen beside her.
Feng Qingchen said, "Ge'er wants you to call her mother just like Buran does."
Zhao Shuning said, "I... I dare not—"
"Then I'm not convenient to talk about what you want to know."
"Ah?"
Why did Buran's parents look like celestial beings, but sometimes talk so childishly?
It seemed that Feng Zhan's personality was somewhat influenced by his mother.
"So, daughter - in - law, are you going to call or not?"
Zhao Shuning lowered her head.
She softly called out "Mother".
Yu Ge immediately changed her expression and said cheerfully, "Daughter - in - law, I can only tell you half of what you want to know. I don't know the rest. You have to explore it on your own. The future is full of unknowns and perils."
"Okay, I understand."
"Your grandfather, Little Yezi, accidentally picked up the Xuantian Realm back then. Speaking of the Xuantian Realm, it was a gift that Buran's father, the upper god Huang Yan, gave me back then. Maybe Buran accidentally left it on the Jiuzhou Continent. Coincidentally, your grandfather found it."
"At that time, the Xuantian Realm was very small. Its form would change according to the ability of the person it followed. At that time, Little Yezi was just a child who had been expelled from his homeland. He had no relatives. He was whipped and thrown into the jungle. What awaited him should have been the gnawing of wild beasts. But out of sympathy, I taught him some skills in his dreams."
So, the unknown Ye Feng quickly became a well - known figure on the Jiuzhou Continent in such a short time.
Later.
Ye Feng always enshrined the Xuantian Realm.
Yu Ge and Feng Qingchen rarely appeared.
Until one day, Ye Feng knelt in front of the Xuantian Realm, holding a cold baby in his arms. At that time, the baby was on the verge of death and there was no way to save him.
Ye Feng begged Yu Ge.
Begged her to save the baby in the swaddle.
"Is the baby in the swaddle Ye Xingchen? Did you save him, senior?"
Yu Ge said, "I just told Ye Feng the method. He made some efforts. Ye Xingchen's sudden appearance five hundred years later was not an accident. Nor was your appearance."
"Then am I really the reincarnation of Luo Feiyan?"
Yu Ge shook her head.
"So, I'm not a person from that time period either."
Yu Ge gave a gentle smile.
"You're not the reincarnation of Luo Feiyan. Luo Feiyan is you. Your soul just went back five hundred years and experienced all that. Luo Feiyan is you."
"So, the things I did and the person recorded in the history books..."
Yu Ge nodded, "It's you too."
Zhao Shuning said, "Mother, what about Luo Qiu?"
Yu Ge just gave a soft smile.
"I can't talk about the following things. You just need to work hard. If you really can't do it, just do your best and follow your heart."
At this time.
Yan Ruyu and Su Mu had already talked a lot.
Yu Ge and Feng Qingchen walked towards Yan Ruyu and told him some things to pay attention to.
They were about to leave.
Shi Jiu still couldn't lift her head when she was leaving.
Yu Ge said, "What's wrong? Now that you have Zhan'er, are you going to abandon your second elder sister? Or don't you know how to address me?"
Hearing Yu Ge say this, Shi Jiu's tears welled up immediately.
"Second elder sister, I'm sorry—"
"Little crybaby. If you keep crying like this, Zhan'er will be heart - broken."
"Sorry, second elder sister—"
"Okay, I don't mean to blame you. But Shi Jiu, I have to remind you. You were originally the Meng Po in the underworld. Now you've scattered all your cultivation and gone to the Jiuzhou Continent. You must remember what you're going there for. Zhan'er is willing to go on an adventure with you. As his parents, we can't stop him."
Shi Jiu lowered her eyes.
She still felt a bit sad.
"Little Shi Jiu, that's enough. You secretly ran away with my Zhan'er. I haven't even had the chance to feel aggrieved yet. But you look like you're the one who's been wronged."
"Mother, don't scold Jiu Jiu. She's just too emotional."
"Yes, yes, yes. Look, Zhan'er is already protecting you."
Yu Ge added, "Zhan'er, when you get to the Jiuzhou Continent, remember the purpose of this trip. You must help Little Shi Jiu find the supreme exotic beast and take good care of her. If anything happens to her, I'll hold you accountable. Do you understand?"
"Mother, you can rest assured."
Yu Ge nodded in satisfaction.
Then she turned to look at Su Mu and said, "Son - in - law, the dimensional tunnel is about to close. If you don't go back this time, you may never get another chance. Are you sure you won't regret it?"
Su Mu firmly shook his head.
He took Feng Lingtong's hand, looked into her eyes and said, "I'll go wherever Xiao Tong goes."
"Life in Meilin is not easy for men. It's quite hard."
Su Mu smiled.
He didn't care about any of these.
Life may be hard, but it's fine as long as the beloved returns.
In a city of mist and rain, there's a pavilion; a flower only blooms for a tree.
Wherever Xiao Tong is, even if it's a freezing winter, it's like spring.
