Chapter 167: A Heartfelt Reunion (1/2)

In the end, there was nothing Yang Mei Mei could do about the decision and she decided to head over to the next room to get some sleep. After less than a minute, I could slightly hear her eased breathing as she fell right asleep.

”Yongrui, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask me.” Shi Meili gladly offered as she relaxed on the nearest chair. Although I didn't want to impose on her and the others that much, they still wanted to look after me. And judging from Shi Meili's expression, it was obvious that she was quite happy about it.

Wait...

”Now that I think about it, where's Luo Zehn? Have you seen him?” I asked, worried that maybe he got into trouble while I was unconscious. I mean, I've been asleep for four days, something must've happened.

”You mean that red-haired samurai? No, I haven't. I think he went back to Tang Sect to retrieve something.” Shi Meili continued.

”I see.”

Slam!

”MASTER!” A voice of a young man and woman suddenly screamed.

My face whirled towards the doorway as two people entered in. In a split second, my eyes widened in shock as I saw someone I wasn't expecting at all.

The young lady (well, I shouldn't really call her young lady since we more or less look the same age) has purple eyes and purple hair that extended down to her waist. She had a gentle allure and skin that seemed to bounce off the sun's rays due to their pristine appearance. She was a bit taller than Shi Meili but her figure could very well rival hers.

As for the second person, he was wearing a black robe and his black hair seemed to touch his eyes due to how long it is. But that didn't hide the expression on his face at all. As he approached me, a drop of tear streamed down his cheeks and he impulsively wiped it. Even with half of his face covered, the worried and conflicted expression on his face was so conspicuous.

Seriously, these two haven't changed.

For some reason, a lump formed within my throat and I felt like my airways were beginning to loosen. Snot came out of my nose as tears came out of my eyes. My tear ducts were like a dam being opened to feed the rivers. It wouldn't even be an understatement to say that the amount of tears coming out of my eyes could easily fill a shot glass.

I wiped my tears as I heaved a sigh of relief. Lots of memories came into my mind, making me reminisce about the past. There were a lot of things I wanted to tell them but I didn't know where to start. For the past couple of weeks, I always imagined how our reunion is going to be but now that it's happening, I had no idea what to do. Of course! How can I mentally prepare myself when the two of them just showed up in front of me like that?

”It's really master!” Ye Zhiyun exclaimed as she slowly approached me and locked me in her arms. Xiao Liang did the same.

It didn't take long before the two of them had another outburst of tears. As for me, I was still crying as I held the two of them in my arms.

That damned Luo Zehn, so that's why he returned back to the Tang Shelter!

”Ye Zhiyun, Xiao Liang, and Luo Zehn, you've gone and exceeded my expectations. From the bottom of my heart, I offer my sincerest gratitude to the three of you. Thank you for surviving and not letting our Sect die in the hands of the virus... and most importantly, thank you for getting this far. I knew the three of you had it in you. I knew you would survive.” I said, wiping the tears off my face as I got my composure back a little bit.

”No, we should thank you, master!” Xiao Liang responded. ”Because you gave us a second chance, we were able to live and better ourselves.”

”We didn't know that you were still alive, master. Had we known, we would've sent some men to this place and have you transfer over to Tang Shelter. Luo Zehn, why didn't you tell us sooner?” This time, it was Ye Zhiyun who spoke.

”I'm sorry about that, I only just confirmed it four days ago.” Luo Zehn said. ”Master, I'm sorry for treating you like a kid. I didn't know it was really you. I thought you were just using your name as a cover-up so people won't ask about your identity. My own shortcoming is to blame for not realizing it sooner.”
