"Xi’Er is gone, but she left us with the lovely Xiaosuisui. No matter what, I must raise her well!"
"Yes, I promise you, I will protect her well!"
"What will you use to protect her?
Ji Shang! From the mont you left us, you lost the right to say such things!"
"Wanwan..."
"Listen to , the two realms are interconnected, which is the matter of the Celestial Dao, and has nothing to do with my Suisui! From now on, I will tell her, I won’t let her involve herself in this matter anymore!"
Madam Ji wants Suisui to live well, that’s the treasure her daughter exchanged her life for.
As for the Celestial Dao being blocked, she thinks it’s not sothing an old lady like her should worry about. She doesn’t have much cultivation left, how many more years does she have to enjoy family happiness?
"Wanwan! No, believe , Suisui will be fine, I will find a way, as long as we find the relics and essential soul of the Black Tortoise and the White Tiger, the lifting of the Array of Heaven will be just around the corner, then we will be reunited as a family.
By then, I will do my utmost to aid you in cultivating, we, as a couple, will surely be able to stay together forever!"
Madam Ji looked at her calmly, appearing quite indifferent.
"Ji Shang! People and immortals are worlds apart, you are already a standout in the realm of immortals, just one step from becoming a terrestrial immortal, your lifespan will be extraordinarily long, I can no longer reach the heights you do!
Ji Shang, let’s forget each other, that is the best choice for us, for the children!"
After saying this, the expression on Madam Ji’s face beca even more indifferent.
"The best choice, Wanwan! This isn’t the best choice for us. We have been a couple for decades, do you really feel nothing for ?
No! I don’t believe you can let go of !
You can truly forget in the Jianghu!"
Ji Shang was nearly losing his mind. He is a cultivator, with a long lifespan, but he doesn’t follow the path of being emotionless. The fleeting glimpse when he first t Yun Wan, all the bits and pieces shared with her, as mories, are what sustained him till now!
But now, what was Yun Wan telling him?
To forget each other in the Jianghu!
His heart ached, so much so that he couldn’t breathe.
This pain was even greater than when he returned from the ti gap of the Nine-Tiered Tower!
Yun Wan said no more, she walked step by step to the Lotus Pond where Suisui was playing, and signaled her with a wave.
Little Suisui quickly swam over, and called out softly, "Grandmother!"
"Good girl! Send grandmother back!"
Little Suisui agreed with an "Oh!" and glanced at Ji Shang who was standing aside!
Madam Ji gently tapped her little head.
"Why look at him?
Are you closer to grandmother or him?"
Little Suisui instinctively replied in her childish voice, "Of course I’m closer to grandmother!"
Madam Ji laughed, "Then why not quickly be obedient? You must rember, grandmother never wants to see him again, don’t ever group grandmother together with him anymore, okay?"
Little Suisui nodded, sensing that grandmother was very angry, so she quickly escorted grandmother out.
Then she stood there bewildered, tilting her head in thought, why was grandmother mad at grandfather?
Weren’t they husband and wife?
Shouldn’t husband and wife be loving like Uncle and Aunt?
Or like Third Uncle and Third Aunt, always playfully chasing each other around?
And like Second Uncle and Second Aunt, one indifferent, the other...
Hmm! Grandmother and Grandfather look kind of like Second Uncle and Second Aunt, don’t they?
Little Suisui tilted her head, unable to figure it out, so she stopped thinking, her little brain was too small, it seed there were many things she couldn’t understand!
In Madam Ji’s courtyard.
Madam Ji, lying in bed, slowly opened her eyes, lifted her right hand slowly, wiped away tears from her eyes, and just let her hand stay there, now with skin like withered bark, she truly was an old lady!
Before seeing Ji Shang, she was already anxious.
Now that she had seen him, she was more certain of what she felt in her heart.
"Madam, you are awake!
The Fourth Young Master has returned, and brought back two great pearls from the east!"
A maid entered joyfully to report!
Madam Ji exclaid with surprise, "It’s good he’s back, two great eastern pearls, hopefully, they’ll be useful!
Has Suisui awakened?"
The maid shook her head, "The eldest Princess has not yet awakened! The Fourth Young Master has bathed and changed, and is coming towards our courtyard with the eldest Young Master!"
