Chu Yang nodded, acknowledging that what I said made sense.
“What's this about living in peace? Your mother is waiting for you to show your might at the Nine Heavens Pavilion, so we can go up and enjoy our fortune together,” Yang Ruolan said gently, looking at her son. “However, right now, your father and I won't be following you up. One, our strength isn't enough; two... we are both getting older and lack the adventurous spirit. Living a steady life suits us just fine.”
Chu Yang sighed.
“And this little guy can't go with you either. I want to watch him grow up to make up for the regret of not being able to see his father grow up,” Yang Ruolan said, looking at her grandson with boundless affection.
Chu Yang chuckled.
“Besides, there’s no use for you to stay by my side now. My grandson is far cuter than you are from a distance. I think even the young you back then wouldn’t compare to how adorable my grandson is now,” Yang Ruolan said, causing Chu Yang to roll his eyes in defeat.
Once he had a grandson, he seemed to have been forgotten...
“By the way, leave me more of those longevity items. Even though I’m not going up, living a few hundred more years is always good. Perhaps I can wait to see you returning in glory to the Nine Heavens, my son is extraordinary.”
Chu Yang grinned, “That’s absolutely beyond question. As long as my strength reaches a certain level, I can come down whenever I want. Once I establish my kingdom, I’ll bring you and father up to play. If it’s good up there, we can stay; if we feel homesick, we can come back. That day isn’t far away.”
Yang Ruolan’s eyes brightened. “Then you must work hard; your mother is counting on you. Your father and I will just live cautiously. With such a promising son, there’s no meaning for us to roam the martial arts world anymore. We just need to strive to avoid any risks and live a long life. I want to see your glorious achievements!”
Chu Yang nodded solemnly.
Yang Ruolan’s words expressed the thoughts of all parents in the world. When young, one must strive and fight. What they seek is nothing but fame and the hope of leaving something for their descendants. But as one ages and sees their offspring thriving, it’s better to suppress ambition.
It's all to ensure that their child can venture out with peace of mind.
Only with peace of mind can great things be accomplished! This is the greatest and best support for their son!
That night.
Chu Yang had already returned to his room to sleep. Yang Ruolan embraced her grandson, watching his tender sleeping face. Tonight was destined to be sleepless.
The lamp had long been extinguished.
Throughout the night, all that could be heard was Chu Feiling tossing and turning restlessly, while Yang Ruolan forcibly suppressed her long sighs...
Her son was about to embark on a long journey, filled with thorns along the way. How could the parents truly be at ease and unconcerned?
A child travels a thousand miles, and a mother worries. But when he returns one day, Chu Yang’s journey was not just a thousand miles, but ten thousand, crossing the barriers of two worlds. This time, parting may not allow for a reunion with her beloved son.
But this shattering of the void was something that could not be reversed. Even if Chu Yang changed his mind and wanted to stay, it would be absolutely impossible.
Since the situation was already doomed to be irreversible, all the parents could do was let their son go with peace of mind.
Do not have any worries!
The road ahead is vast. Any worries could disrupt your heart. When the heart is troubled, danger looms; all I hope for is my child to be safe...
In Le'er's small courtyard, the same atmosphere overflowed.
Like usual, Le'er curled up close to her mother, breathing in her scent, quietly cherishing these final moments...
The next dawn.
The Chu family was already bustling.
Chu Yang and the Sword Spirit had also stayed up all night, preparing the ninefold pills and many other heavenly materials and earthly treasures for their family. He opened the door, radiating with vigor and a smile, joining in the laughter.
