What kind of scene was before their eyes?
Wasn’t the Wind Valley beautiful enough?
Wasn’t the Holy Water Manor magnificent enough?
But compared to the scene before them, it was simply not on the sa level!
Clouds of mist swirled, set against stunning mountain landscapes, butterflies fluttered in groups, the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Could there be a place more beautiful than this?
Even the Yaochi Fairyland might just be like this!
The grass beneath their feet was a bit prickly, but the refreshing scent of fresh grass made one feel relaxed and happy.
The surrounding flowers were all rare and unseen exotic plants, and it was for this reason that butterflies and bees industriously collected nectar here. No wonder Grandpa praised it highly. It truly was beautiful, a divine place in the Human World without exaggeration!
Though Shui Yixuan arrived on the island a bit later, he was still given attention. Watching a woman in white coming to greet them, he felt a sense of ti-space overlap with the Wind Valley. Could it be that Grandpa’s inspiration for building the Wind Valley originally ca from Xiran Island?
It wasn’t until more than half an hour later that they reached the power center of Xiran Island—Bamboo Realm.
The so-called Bamboo Realm was definitely a world of bamboo. Even the houses here had exteriors made of bamboo, with interiors mixed with stones and mud. After all, it was an island, so houses had to be well-made to withstand wind and rain. Although the green vegetation coverage across the whole island didn’t reach ten-tenths, it was about seventy to eighty percent. Only this way could it really block wind and rain, bind the soil, and prevent soil erosion.
Under the pavilion within Bamboo Realm, three people were already waiting at that ti. They were the elderly couple with crane-like hair and youthful faces they’d just t, and an elegant middle-aged man. Shui Yixuan looked around but did not see Jiang Xue and Murong Han. Just as he was about to ask, they waved to him.
"Co, co, are you really the grandson of that old fellow Shui Yuntian? Hmm, truly outstanding in appearance. Why didn’t he co with you to have a look? If he had co, would you have still suffered so much? And how is your Grandma doing, is she well?"
Shui Yixuan sighed: "Grandma has already passed away. After Grandpa got older, he hid in the mountains and rarely went out, tending to his flowers, plants, poisonous insects, and ants every day..., "
i Hongxin had already passed away?
The two elderly were slightly dazed, regretfully shaking their heads.
"Indeed, old age doesn’t like much fuss, but I didn’t expect..., such is the uncertainty of the world!"
"How many siblings do you have?"
"Due to my mother’s health, she only had ."
"Oh my, this old boy, each generation with only one heir!"
As they spoke, Jiang Xue and Murong Han walked out from the bamboo forest. It seed they had gone for a bit of relief or perhaps to tour around the land of the maternal grandparents.
Murong Han was more anxious than Jiang Xue, unable to help interrupting the old man in white.
"Grandpa, quickly tell us, how is Mother? Xiao Xue’s Heart Connection acted up, did sothing happen to our mother?"
The old man in white motioned for them all to sit down before introducing the middle-aged man to them.
"Yang’er, these two are Yue’er’s children, Xiao Xue and Xiao Han. Children, he is your maternal uncle—Xi Yang!"
Though they had greeted each other when they first t, at this mont, a careful observation couldn’t help but marvel at the strength of family genes.
Xi Yang exuded a deanor gentle as jade, poised with an innate authority. Perhaps as the island’s manager, his words inherently carried a sense of deterrence.
When the siblings bowed deeply as a salute to him, he sat there, accepting their gesture as an elder, later smiling warmly and amiably.
"Good children, rise now!"
His smile brought an impression as though thousands of flowers blossod instantly, making any description seem feeble.
Although an initial verification was done, at that ti it still needed identity confirmation, when the siblings handed the only token to Xi Yu, Ranran (Grandparents), the latter couldn’t help but red-eyed looking at the two small Jade Pendants.
Ranran Grandma choked with emotion: "I knew it couldn’t be wrong, these are our family’s children. Just by looking, they’re different. It’s wonderful, unimaginable that Yue’er’s children are already grown this big, and so well too. It fulfills one of this old lady’s wishes at last!" With that said, she burst into tears.
Grandpa couldn’t bear seeing his wife cry, and quickly patted her hand.
"Alright, alright, since the children are here, don’t get all emotional now! If Yue’er sees this, she will bla you!"
Indeed, just ntioning her precious daughter, Grandma imdiately stopped her tears.
