1572 Reunion of Old Friends (3)
Yun Feng looked down from the sky and finally found something on a slope behind the dilapidated house. Yun Feng’s face darkened and she ran over without another word. When she got there, she saw that it was a tombstone. That tombstone was made of an entire stone and was cut very neatly. There was a name Yun Feng wasn’t familiar with engraved on it, but the signature made Yun Feng’s heart ache. It was Xia Qing’s mother.
Qu Lanyi rushed over and his black eyes also darkened. For him and Yun Feng, death was quite a distant thing. Even if they died, their souls could continue to live, but for these ordinary people, death was extremely normal.
Qu Lanyi put his hands on Yun Feng’s shoulders gently. Yun Feng raised the corners of her mouth. Did Qingqing know about this? Who erected this tombstone here? How exactly did Qingqing’s mother die? Did it have anything to do with the Xia family? How would that girl feel after knowing about this?
Xia Qing tossed and turned in Yun Feng’s mind, but Qu Lanyi’s face darkened. He heard an aura coming from afar. It was quite strong, but the aura felt very young. Yun Feng also noticed that. She raised her black eyes. Soon, a figure flashed down from the sky and walked towards Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi quietly.
Yun Feng watched carefully. She had grown up these years and wasn’t the little girl who relied on her master for everything anymore. At this moment, there was a hint of maturity and indifference on her face that made Yun Feng’s heart ache. It was a kind of peace that had been acquired after experiencing too many things. The girl’s strength had improved greatly and she was a completely different person from that little girl with average strength back then!
Emotions surged in Yun Feng’s heart. She was gratified, proud, touched and sad.
There was also a smile in Qu Lanyi’s eyes. This little girl had grown up quite well over the years. She didn’t let Yun Feng down.
Xia Qing walked over indifferently and glanced at Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi. “Who are you? Are you from the village?” The girl’s voice was a bit deeper than before. The Flower Eagle followed her. When it saw Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi, it suddenly shouted, “Master! These two people are hiding their strength!”
Xia Qing raised her brows. Seeing how calm she was, Yun Feng became even more proud with a smile on her face. Qu Lanyi chuckled and quickly took off the mask on his face. “Qingqing, it’s been so many years. Do you remember who I am?”
Xia Qing’s pupils shrank fiercely! The Flower Eagle on the side was the same!
“Qu… Lan… Yi… Master’s Master!” Xia Qing turned around and saw that the ordinary woman next to the handsome man shook her hand. She had already taken off the disguise on her face. Xia Qing’s body trembled fiercely and her lips opened slightly. “Master… Master…”
Yun Feng looked at the surprised girl in front of her with a smile. Xia Qing moved her body and seemed to be running over, but in the end, she stood there and put on a huge smile at Yun Feng. “Master, you’re back!”
Yun Feng’s heart ached. Qingqing had indeed grown up. In the past, she would definitely pounce on her and hug her. However, she was only standing there and smiling at her right now. A sour feeling rose from the bottom of Yun Feng’s heart, like a female eagle watching a young eagle leave its nest. She was so reluctant but so proud.
Qu Lanyi chuckled. “Qingqing is indeed not a kid anymore. Very good. You didn’t let your teacher down.”
Xia Qing was immediately delighted. “Really? It’s good that I didn’t let you down!”
Yun Feng smiled and walked over to look at the girl in front of her, who was also taller. She put the hair next to Xia Qing’s cheek behind her ear with her hand. Xia Qing’s eyes suddenly became wet, but she held back her tears and looked at Yun Feng with widened eyes and a slightly red face. Yun Feng smiled even more happily and pulled Xia Qing into her arms. “It’s been a few years. You must’ve encountered a lot of difficulties. Why didn’t you contact me?”
Xia Qing’s body trembled and her little face flushed. “I… I didn’t want you to think that I’m still a kid who can’t grow up…”
Yun Feng hugged Xia Qing even tighter with a smile. There was a sweet smile on the girl’s face. The Flower Eagle on the side also looked gratified. She had always been by Xia Qing’s side, so nobody knew what Xia Qing experienced better than her.
After separating Xia Qing, the master and disciple smiled. Yun Feng glanced at the tombstone. “About your mother…”
Xia Qing shook her head. “Mother wasn’t in good health to begin with. The end is a new beginning for her. It has nothing to do with the Xia family. They were quite polite to her. You don’t have to worry about food and clothing. It’s your own problem.”
Yun Feng nodded. Xia Qing’s mother had a tough life. It wasn’t bad to end it. Xia Qing walked to the tombstone. “I made this tombstone. I accompanied my mother for the last few days. She left with a smile. I know she was very satisfied.” Xia Qing turned around. “I come here to take a look every once in a while. I didn’t expect… to meet you this time.”
Yun Feng curled her lips and touched the top of Xia Qing’s head. “I didn’t expect to meet you here either. We met here and we reunited here.”
“Have you finished your business, teacher? Why did you have the time to come here?” Xia Qing asked. Yun Feng smiled lightly. “I haven’t finished my business yet, but the huge changes in the human world are unexpected.”
Xia Qing nodded. “It’s only been a few years, but the spatial channel has already connected the three continents, especially between the East Continent and the West Continent. Powerhouses often walk around. The people on the West Continent are already used to seeing people from the East Continent. Right, Master is from the Yun family on the Central Continent, right?”
Yun Feng was stunned. Since the connection had been established, Yun Feng’s name was certainly familiar on all the three continents. It could be said that she was a kind of legend on every continent. Seeing Yun Feng nod, Xia Qing smiled even more happily. “I knew that your identity must be extraordinary! After the three continents contacted, everyone knows your name! I heard that the Ling family, the family who established the spatial channel, is also on good terms with you!”
The Ling family? The family who established the spatial channel? Yun Feng pondered. It seemed that Ling Xiaoyun led the Ling family to rise again. The Ling family, who established the space channel, was called a foundational family. It must be the case. The Ling family’s unique control of space gave them this ability. Back then, Ling Xiaoyun’s father, Ling Tiansu, forcibly opened the channel and sent them to the Central Continent. Ling Xiaoyun also tried his best to open a channel by himself and return to the West Continent.
