Chapter 564 Postscript 2
When Zhu Xiao passed away at the age of 100, the whole country mourned, and people lined the streets for miles to see her off.

The news outlets dedicated special time slots to her, telling the world about her achievements.

At this point, it's inevitable that Zhu Wen, Zhu Xiao's mother who is even more famous than Zhu Xiao, will be mentioned.

[Two outstanding talents from one family! That's truly amazing.]

We owe half of our good life to them, mother and daughter!

[It's mainly about Academician Zhu, the senior academician. It's said that many of Academician Zhu's achievements came from studying his mother's handwritten notes.]

[That's right, that's right. In the past two years, many of Academician Zhu's achievements have passed their confidentiality period and have begun to be made public. Only then did we realize that during that period, there were countless unsung heroes who made countless sacrifices!]

[That Academician Zhu is so powerful she seems out of place in this era. People are quietly analyzing her, some saying she's a time traveler, others saying she's an alien… there are many theories!]

[This is outrageous! Academician Zhu was such a highly respected figure, and she died young due to excessive exposure to radioactive materials during her research! How dare these people slander her like this! I want to report them!]

[Actually, this is what Academician Zhu said in an interview in her later years. She always said that her mother was waiting for her, and that she especially looked forward to leaving this world so that she could see her mother again.]

[Ah...this is nothing more than a daughter's deep longing for her mother! Your forced interpretations and speculations only make it more disgusting.]

【Oh dear, on such a awful day, please stop arguing. Academician Zhu has passed away; another giant has fallen. Aren't you sad?】

Although it's heartbreaking, Academician Zhu must have left to go find her mother; she must have been waiting for this day for a long time.

[Waaaaah, my eyes are about to pee!]

……

Just as some netizens speculated.

Zhu Xiao didn't have much fear of death.

She has a natural intuition—

At the end of her life, her mother will be there waiting for her.

So, when her breathing weakened, although she heard countless cries of pain around her, she felt little fear; instead, she felt some joy and anticipation.

She followed the white light, walking straight ahead.

As she walked, her dry, bark-like skin began to fill out, her snow-white hair began to turn black, her skin became elastic, her aged and heavy body began to feel lighter, and her eyes became clearer.

Therefore, she could clearly see two silhouettes appearing and disappearing not far ahead.

It's mom!
Ok?
Who else?
"mom!"

Zhu Xiao ran over and hugged the other person tightly!
Zhu Wen caught her with a smile:
"Why are you running? Be careful not to fall."

Tears welled in Zhu Xiao's eyes, and the last trace of unease in her heart subsided:
"I'm just so happy, I never thought you would actually come to pick me up!"

Zhu Wen looked at her teasingly:
"Didn't expect that? But you've been waiting for me to pick you up, so here I am."

Zhu Xiao stared blankly with wide eyes:
"So you've been watching the whole time?"

Zhu Wen nodded:

"Of course."

Zhu Xiao was instantly at a loss.

She felt very nervous and worried, and kept glancing at Zhu Wen out of the corner of her eye.

Zhu Wen patted her shoulder reassuringly:

"Be confident, Xiaoxiao. You did a great job. I'm so proud of you."

Zhu Xiao's tears welled up instantly.

She worked hard all her life for her family and her country.

And even more so because of her mother's praise.

Now, she has done it.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't you look at me?"

A familiar, teasing voice rang out from the side.

Zhu Xiao turned her head and saw the other person's appearance clearly:
"Dad? How come you look so young?"

Fu Li's face stiffened, somewhat annoyed:
"I haven't always been like this! And haven't you noticed that your mother looks much younger?"

Zhu Xiao frowned and said very seriously:

"Hasn't Mom always been like this?"

Zhu Wen was amused and burst into laughter.

Fu Li, however, was speechless.

He has nothing to say to mama's girls!

Zhu Wen pulled Zhu Xiao inside: "Come on, I was just about to introduce you to something..."

The figures of the family of three gradually blurred and disappeared in the white light...

……

Lu Jin died of old age.

Throughout his life, he made countless efforts to subdue evil spirits and restore peace to the world.

Although their mother left them early, they didn't feel lonely on the journey because their younger sister was by their side.

Lying in bed with his white hair, he looked at his younger sister Lu Yu, who looked no different from anyone else, and weakly whispered his words:

"After I die, you should cultivate diligently and strive to ascend to immortality one day. Ancient texts say that even ghosts can become ghost immortals, and then..."

"I do not want."

Lu Yu's eyes were red, and she still looked like a young girl. Even the way she stubbornly bit her lip was exactly the same as back then.

Lu Jin wasn't surprised by her sister's words, she just sighed:
"Little fish, you must be good."

"I won't listen! I've listened to you for decades! I'm definitely not going to listen this time! Go ahead and kill me if you want!"

Seeing her wiping away tears in distress, Lu Jin finally softened his heart.

He extended his hand:

"Alright, then you can come with me."

Lu Yu stopped crying and held her brother's hand tightly.

"Okay, let's go together, you're not allowed to leave me behind!"

The brother and sister were going to leave this world together.

It's like we came into this world together.

This time, no one will be separated.

The brother and sister never expected this.

When you open your eyes again, you will see Zhu Wen right in front of you.

"Mom, Mom?"

They thought they were seeing a ghost...

Wait, isn't Lu Yu a ghost?

Lu Yu shouted angrily:

"Don't think you can fool us! My brother is a Taoist master! And an academician!"

Lu Jin dedicated his life to researching the combination of science and metaphysics, and even pioneered a completely new discipline, making him a truly legendary figure.

Compared to his name, titles like "Celestial Master" and "Academician" are merely labels that conform to his name and seem insignificant.

However, Lu Jin was now very embarrassed and covered half of her face:
“…Mom, I’m sorry.”

Over the years, as the older brother, he has failed to help his younger sister make any progress whatsoever.

Zhu Wen burst out laughing:
"Hahaha, it's okay, hahahaha!"

Lu Yu was dumbfounded:
"What? It really is Mom?"

Zhu Wen smiled and pinched her cheek:
"Yes, it's me. Don't you recognize me?"

Lu Yu looked back and forth between Lu Jin and Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen must emphasize:
"Didn't I say goodbye for the future before I left?"

Lu Yu honestly replied:
"Wasn't that a lie you told us? I know everything."

Zhu Wen opened his arms and spun around:

"And now? Is it still deception?"

Unable to contain her excitement, Lu Yu jumped out and hugged her mother.

"Mom, it really is you!"

Zhu Wen smiled and hugged her back.

Turning her head, she saw Lu Jin's face full of envy.

"Xiao Jin, come here."

They embraced and were finally reunited.
