Chapter 76 - Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Moving to a New Home (2/2)
“Elder Yu, how about this, I was in a hurry today and didn’t have time to prepare. ”
“Come over tomorrow, and I’ll cook a table full of dishes for you to try, how about that?”
After saying that, Lin Jing leaned closer to Elder Yu and whispered:
“I’ll also prepare a few pots of your favorite Qinghua Drunkenness by then.”
Elder Yu immediately beamed with joy:
“Good…”
“Can I come along too?” Huang Qingling looked at them with expectant eyes. “Of course, Daoist Qing Ling, if you don’t mind, you can join us at the time.”
Lin Jing said with a smile, looking at Huang Qingling.
“Great, then it’s settled.”
Huang Qingling was very happy, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, abruptly turned her head and looked at the two:
“Do I need to bring any ingredients when I come?”
Lin Jing smiled slightly: “You don’t need to bring anything, just come with an empty stomach.”
“Mhm mhm…”
Huang Qingling nodded vigorously as if pecking at grains of rice.
Afterwards, they finished touring the yard, and since Elder Yu had to return to Yuebaolou, he left first.
As for Lin Jing, now that he had settled on the yard, he needed to move all his personal belongings over.
The two said goodbye to Huang Qingling and then left.
On the road, the two walked at a leisurely pace, with Elder Yu telling Lin Jing many things about Yuebaolou.
It wasn’t until they arrived in front of Yuebaolou that the two parted ways.
After parting ways with Elder Yu, Lin Jing went straight back to his small courtyard in the Outer Fang Market. He busied himself for a while, finally getting all his personal items organized and packed into his Storage Bag.
Then he looked up again.
The room, which had been somewhat crowded, now seemed much more spacious.
This was the second time he had moved since he had crossed over.
However, this move was different from the first one.
This time, it was a step in a positive direction, which comforted Lin Jing a lot.
After stepping outside the house and looking at the courtyards on each side, Lin Jing’s spirits fell again.
Seated on a stone stool under the tree in the yard, he glanced around, and couldn’t help but feel nostalgic as he looked at the familiar scenes…
Although his stay here wasn’t long, it was full of memories.
The friends he had made here had all left, and their yards had been returned to the Fang Market.
“I wonder how they are doing now…”
Lin Jing couldn’t help but think of Wei Zhengqing, Ning Yue, Yan Xiong, and finally Luo Luo…
He had no idea when they would meet again.
Especially for that little girl Luo Luo, with no Spiritual Root, it seemed she could only live a normal life, get married, have children, and then just spend her life that way.
Perhaps, that was the best ending for her…
At that moment, a warm, ruddy light shone on Lin Jing’s face.
Lin Jing looked up to see that it was already dusk, the setting sun casting its slanted glow…
The entire sky was dyed a deep red by the sunset, appearing so beautiful…
Just like that time, the first time he had brought Luo Luo back here…
Then, Lin Jing stood up, walked out of the courtyard, and reached out to close the door. As the door was about to shut, he took one last look inside.
And after that…
With a “clank”, the door shut firmly.
Lin Jing then turned and walked towards the outside of the alley, the setting sun stretching his shadow long…
One person, one shadow, gradually fading into the distance….
