C123 (1/2)

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. Spring had passed, and summer was coming.

The night was like water and the moonlight was like a dream. Although the summer night was still hot, the occasional cool breeze was refreshing, like the faint comfort a frustrated person would find in the arms of a lover. It was very, very light, but it made people feel extremely comfortable.

In a villa in a certain city in the country, there were quite a few people gathered here tonight.

Everyone's hearts sank. A forty year old woman looked at Sky Law. She looked very beautiful. Although she was over forty years old, the passage of time had not left any traces on her face. She watched as Sky Law's expression gradually dimmed. Everyone also looked at Sky Law, not knowing what Sky Law was going to say.

”Yes, it's him. Where did he go?” The woman said in a soft, somewhat weak voice.

It was as if he was not asking for punishment from the heavens, but himself. In the room, only the woman seemed to be whispering something, and no one could answer her. Sky Law could not, shadows could not, and their lives could not be taken.

No one knew where Ye Qiu was. They were also anxiously waiting for Ye Qiu's return, but two months had passed in a flash, so there was no news from the people waiting. At the moment, none of them could answer the woman's question. They were afraid that if they couldn't, they would once again stir up this sad mother.

Her weak body could not take any more blows. Just as everyone was silent, Sky Law smiled faintly and said softly, ”Palace Master, he …”

”Mom!” Familiar voice, expectant voice. Suddenly, everyone in the room was stunned.

Looking back, isn't that the kind of person that people are always worried about?

”Child.” ”Palace Lord.” Ye Qiu's mother and Sky Law's voice shook. They had all repeated his name a few times, while Shadow, Suicide Strike and the others also excitedly called out for palace master a few times.

Ye Qiu stood by the door and looked at the room full of people. Suddenly, everyone saw the crystal in his eyes.

”You, all of you are here. It's good that you're here, all right?”

Seeing everyone's worried and pleasantly surprised expressions, Ye Qiu's heart suddenly ached. He had left too much behind, too many things to remember!

When Ye Qiu appeared at the door, the woman had already struggled to sit up with the support of Sky Law. He watched as Ye Qiu walked closer and closer. Her heart ached. Was — was this still that youth from back then? The handsome face which had previously been plastered with an evil smile was no longer there. He was still as handsome as ever before his eyes now. However, the faint sadness on his face seemed to have erased the sharpness a man should have. How did he change so much this time? She discovered to her horror that the boy she had been doting on was an adult. Some of his black hair had already turned grayish-white. It was actually a natural color.

”Mom!”

”Child!”

Almost at the same time, both of them called out to each other.

Ye Qiu moved with heavy steps and slowly arrived in front of the bed. The person he missed the most had finally appeared in front of him. This call still sounded very familiar at this moment, as if it hadn't changed in the slightest.

Sky Law, Shadow Destroyer and the others all had red eyes as they turned around and walked out in large strides.

The room suddenly became much emptier. In such a large space, only the two relatives who had been watching them silently for such a long time were left.

He slowly walked closer and stretched out his hand. He wanted to touch the person he respected the most, but he seemed to be afraid. He was afraid that this was just a dream and that once he stretched out his hand, he would only feel the air.

”Child, my child.” The woman's weak body pounced over. Her tears had already soaked her clothes.

In his arms, the illusory figure was finally no longer there. Ye Qiu laughed like a child, as if the smile he had been suppressing all this time had burst out at this moment. He was like a child, laughing so innocently and insolently. Although this voice sounded so sincere and happy, more of it was mixed in with the crying, the crying of a man.
