AST 1450 - Qing Clan Reunited, Preparing to enter the Soaring Dragon Continen (1/2)

Qing Shui supported Qing Yi, he could feel that his mother’s body was trembling. When Qing Yi had left the Fifth Continent, she had once told him that his father wasn’t dead yet. This was also the reason why he had discovered the grave in the Yan Jiang Country.

Since that time, almost ten years had already passed. This time was truly unexpected. Qing Yi also didn’t imagine that she would be able to meet the person she was most familiar with in such a short time.

Qing Qing released her hug on Yan Zhongyue, “Daddy, go over. Mom must have missed you a lot.”

Yan Zhongyue nodded his head. His eyes were red as he slowly walked over. His footsteps were heavy and filled with strength, but only agitation and guilt could be seen on his face. By the time he walked over, Qing Yi’s face was already covered with tears.

“You are still alive...you are still alive!!”

Actually, Qing Yi hadn’t dared to be certain about whether Yan Zhongyue was still alive. She had always hoped for it to be so, and now, upon seeing him in front of her, it was as if the knot in her heart finally loosened.

“I’m still alive. We truly have a good son and daughter. If not, we wouldn’t have been able to meet each other ever again. All these years have been hard on you... I’ve made you suffer…” Yan Zhongyue’s eyes teared up as he held onto Qing Yi’s hands.

Qing Yi also was holding onto Yan Zhongyue’s hands. Both their hands were held tightly as tears continued streaking down Qing Yi’s face. This wasn’t tears of sadness, but rather, the tears of a kind heartache or happiness. She had longed for this day for over forty years. Now, her wish was finally fulfilled.

Yan Zhongyue and Qing Yi separated. He turned to Qing Luo and Qing Yi’s brother as he bowed deeply. He hadn’t taken good care of Qing Yi at all, and had even caused the Qing Clan to suffer so much.

Qing Luo laughed; he was extremely happy now. He knew Qing Yi had always never forgotten Yan Zhongyue and this was the reason why she didn’t choose to remarry. Now that Yan Zhongyue had returned, it could be said that this is a perfect ending. In any case, the things from the past had already happened, so he was content to let bygones be bygones. Naturally, the hatred he had also gradually vanished.

Next, Qing Shui started introducing his wives and children to Yan Zhongyue. The children were all very curious with regards to this ‘grandpa’ who had newly appeared and started pestering him with questions. Yan Zhongyue happily hugged his grandchildren, feeling blessed in his heart.

At the very beginning, Qing Shui y told everyone that his father lost his memories. This was the reason why nobody blamed Yan Zhongyue at all.

In fact, in the past, Yan Zhongyue had always been a good person. It was only his clan members that were nasty. They held the Qing Clan in disdain and looked down on it.

Upon knowing what happened to Qing Qing, Yan Zhongyue initially wanted to go back to his clan to demand an explanation from his family. However, those people had already died, and even the old ancestor was no longer there. He thus decided that his clan was dead to him. As a father, knowing his own daughter was being abused by his own family was something extremely painful. There was no way he would be able to forgive this so easily.

After that, Qing Shui and the others left first. They knew Yan Zhongyue would surely have many things to say to Qing Yi.

“Our son has truly grown up.” Yan Zhongyue held Qing Yi’s hand as they sat down in a pavilion.

“Yeah, he’s really been a sensible kid ever since he was young. To bring me to the Yan Clan to look for you, he worked hard for several years. However, when we arrived there, they actually said you…” Qing Yi suddenly felt extremely cold.

“There are many scum in my clan. What hurt my heart the most was that my father and the others actually didn’t take good care of Qing Qing. I’m honestly very disappointed. Since they thought that I was already dead, I will just treat it like they are dead to me.”

“Zhongyue, don’t blame your father. He tried his best but there were no solutions. If he knew that you were still alive, he would surely be very happy!” Qing Yi sighed, knowing that her husband missed his clan very much.

“But…”

“Don’t worry about Qing Qing. She has long forgiven her grandpa. Also, the other malicious individuals are no longer around anymore.”

“How about Qing Shui?” Yan Zhongyue sounded somewhat worried. He knew that this son of his separated gratitude and grudges very clearly. He could be extremely ruthless if the situations called for it.

“Don’t worry about our son. I will talk to him. When there’s a chance, I will head over to the Yan Clan. After all, that’s your home, and his body also has the blood of the Yan Clan.”

“Thank you dear.”

“Is there still a need for thanks between us? Could it be that you don’t love me anymore?” Qing Yi pouted at Yan Zhongyue.

“The first things that came to my mind after I regained my memories were your face and Qing Qing. Back then, the things I couldn’t let go of the most were none other than the two of you. If I had truly died back then, I would surely have died with regrets.”

A sweet smile appeared on Qing Yi’s face.

“I have something to tell you, but promise me you won’t get angry okay?” Yan Zhongyue felt extremely nervous when he thought about what he was going to say.

Qing Yi took a deep breath, preparing herself as she replied, “Okay go ahead, I won’t be angry.”
