Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chef Bao drank half a cup of water. “Alright, Grandpa Bao will be fine!”
Yu Wan held his hand and endured the pain in her throat. “…You have to take care.”
Chef Bao smiled, tears flashing in his eyes. “Silly girl, I will.”
Both of them knew very well that this farewell was forever. Yu Wan did not say anything else. She only hugged Chef Bao’s arm and cried silently. Chef Bao choked and patted Ah Wan’s back. He turned around and a tear fell.
He had never told anyone that in all the years that he had been fruitless in finding his sons, it was not that he had never thought of giving up. He had also thought of ending his life once and for all. He had already thrown himself into the water, but that silly girl jumped into the cold pond to save him.
“I saw him standing here for a long time just now. So he wanted to commit suicide.”
“You’re the one who’s committing suicide! Your entire family is committing suicide!”
“You… you… you old thing!”
“You’re the old thing!”
Actually, the woman was right. He was indeed committing suicide, but when he saw the silly girl who was drenched and trembling from the cold to save him, as well as the silly girl’s clear eyes, he did not have the courage to admit it. “I was hungry and didn’t stand properly, so I fell into the water, ” he said.
“Oh.”
“Is there anything to eat?”
“Is this okay?” The silly girl took out a few pieces of candy, peeled off the wrapper, and handed it to him.
“It tastes terrible!” He finished it all in one go.
The silly girl would never know what kind of salvation her unintentional action had brought him.
“Chef Bao, actually, you’re not the only one who has lost family in this world. My father… is not my grandfather’s biological son. He was separated from his family when he was young. I don’t know if his family doesn’t want him or something else. In short, my father has already grown up and has two children. He still doesn’t know who his biological parents are.”
“Hmph! My son went missing two months after he was born.”
“My father was also picked up by my grandfather when he was still an infant!”
“My… My son is congenitally deficient. He has a weakness from his mother’s womb.”
“My father’s health isn’t good either! I heard from my uncle that my father often fell sick when he was young and almost couldn’t grow up!” “My, my, my… My son must be in a worse state than your father!”
“Who said so? My father went to war, and his fate is unknown! When he left, my mother was just pregnant. He didn’t even know he had a son!”
He, who couldn’t compare to her, was at a loss. Of course, it wasn’t that he couldn’t compare to her. He just felt that it was ridiculous. He, who was courting death, was actually in the mood to compare to the little girl in the room.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that he actually did not want to die anymore.
Why did he dote on her? Because if it weren’t for this silly girl, he wouldn’t have been able to rekindle his hope of living. When he felt that it was dark and he was at his wits’ end, she lit a candle in his heart.
Thanks to her, he finally lasted until the end and found his missing child.
Yu Wan was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she waited until she saw Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang’s son. Aunt Jiang’s father was also an escort from the Jade Nation. He was originally escorting a few sorcerers here. Then, Aunt Jiang’s father discovered a business opportunity in the outer village and moved here to do business.
Uncle Jiang had traveled extensively, and his marriage had been delayed for many years. He only met Aunt Jiang when he was twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Fortunately, his father-in-law did not despise his age and married his eighteen-year-old daughter to him. The two of them had a very happy life after marriage. Jiang Xiaoyang was their only son. He was six years old this year and was an obedient and pleasant child.
Aunt Jiang had a gentle personality, was considerate and filial, and was virtuous and capable. Yu Wan was very at ease handing Grandpa Bao over to her.
Third Elder also came when he found out that they were leaving.
The Third Elder was here to pick up Nie Wanrou.
The Wen family’s momentum was gone, and Wen Xu was dead. The Third Elder asked the Sorcerer King for a decree, allowing Nie Wanrou to cut ties with the Wen family. The Sorcerer King agreed.
Looking at the unconscious Nie Wanrou being carried into the carriage by the maidservant of the Nie Family, Dawa was extremely reluctant. However, he and Nie Wanrou were not a couple. He really… did not have the qualifications to keep Nie Wanrou.
The Third Elder would not accept him. In his early years, Wen Xu had already made a mistake once, and the Third Elder did not want to make a second mistake. This person called Dawa was fundamentally just a Guardian of the
Dark Hall in the black market. To put it bluntly, he was from the underworld. How could such a man be worthy of his daughter?
The Sorcerer King had come to pick up Zhou Jin. Zhou Yuyan and Mu Qing were Zhou Jin’s fellow disciples and had a deep relationship with him. They were also invited to the palace.
“But… I can’t bear to part with Sister Wan.” Zhou Yuyan felt wronged.
Mu Qing said, “I can’t bear to part with Sister Wan either, but Sister Wan has Young Master Yan, Thirteen, and the others taking care of her. Junior Brother is still young. He hasn’t been separated from us since he was young. If even we leave, he’ll be lonely.”
Zhou Yuyan cried on Mu Qing’s shoulder. “I… I can’t bear to part with Shadow
Six either…”
Along the way, she was no longer that spoiled and willful young lady. She was Zhou Jin’s senior sister, his family and support in the world. She had promised her father that she would definitely take good care of Zhou Jin.
Between her sweetheart and her junior brother, she finally chose the latter.
“Alright, Brother Zhou Jin, we’re leaving. There’s nothing for you, so I’ll give you a painting!” Xiaobao took a portrait and bade farewell to Zhou Jin with his two brothers. “If you miss us in the future, take out the painting and take a look! ”
“We drew many. This is the best one!” Er’bao said softly.
Dabao nodded.
“Oh.” Zhou Jin opened the portrait and saw three small briquettes drawn on the white rice paper. What, what, what… What was this?
“This is Dabao, this is Er’bao, and this is Xiaobao.” Er’bao pointed at three lumps of completely identical coal balls and said seriously, “Brother Zhou Jin, you have to miss us, you can’t forget us.”
Zhou Jin looked at the little coal balls in the painting in confusion, then at the little black eggs in front of him. “It’s really… vivid…”
“Alright, it’s time for me to give you the Sorcerer King’s tears,” the Sorcerer
King said.
Yu Wan said, “Wait, I have something else to ask of you.”
The Sorcerer King said gently, ‘You want to ask your Dad and Mom, right? Although I don’t know where they went after falling into the bottomless pit, I did a divination for them. Their lives are not in danger.”
Yu Wan blinked. “In other words, they’re still alive?”
The Sorcerer King smiled and nodded. “They’re alive and well. You should meet them soon.”
Yu Wan heaved a sigh of relief. “Then I’m relieved. However, what exactly are the Sorcerer King’s tears?”
The Sorcerer King smiled and did not say anything. He took out a rhombus-shaped sorcerer stone and gently closed his eyes. A drop of blood tear landed on the sorcerer’s stone. When he opened his eyes again, Yu Wan was surprised to find that his eyes were already lifeless. “Your eyes…”
The Sorcerer King smiled and said, “The blood tears that have all the sorcerer power of the Sorcerer King are the true tears of the Sorcerer King.”
Yu Wan could not help but think of Dawa’s words—the sorcerer’s sorcery power all existed in their eyes. When the sorcerers lost their sorcery power, they also lost their own eyes..
