Li Mingfei immediately stepped forward.

"Hey, hey, hey, Xiaoqi can't drink this much herbal tea, you guys should stop!"

After he said that, the old couple realized that in just a short while, Xiao Qi had already drunk four large cups of herbal tea!

So he quickly apologized.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Qi!"

"My wife and I are so excited!"

Xiaoqi shook her head at this.

"It's okay!"

But his body language betrayed him, and he came up behind Li Mingfei.

The elderly couple were quite embarrassed to see this, as they had been too enthusiastic and had scared the young girl!

However, the more Ling'er's father looked at Li Mingfei, the more familiar he seemed. Suddenly, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"You, you, you're the young man who wanted to marry my Ling'er at the teahouse!"

Li Mingfei was immediately shocked.

"You actually know me!"

Upon hearing his admission, Ling'er's father was furious.

"How could I not know? Although Tianxing City is open, you're the first one to come directly to our door!"

"How could I not remember?"

Li Mingfei immediately fell silent.

With so many people in the teahouse, even if Ling'er's family didn't want to know, they should already know!

Suddenly he looked up at the square. The performance was over, and it was time to light the bonfire.

"Ahem, Uncle, Auntie, the ceremony is about to start, so Xiaoqi and I are leaving!"

After saying that, he waved and prepared to leave, but Ling'er's father thought for a moment and then said,

"Young man, Ling'er's things are in that bonfire over there!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingfei remained silent for a long while, then nodded.

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Uncle!"

After saying that, he left with Xiao Qi!

Watching Li Mingfei and Xiao Qi's retreating figures, Ling'er's parents were also quite moved.

Perhaps if her daughter had agreed to that boy's request, she wouldn't have died.

For them, the teahouse was gone, and that was it; but their daughter was different.

But it's too late to regret it now.

However, there was one thing he was very concerned about: just how much did this kid like his daughter? He never expected that his daughter would reject him and instead find someone who looked so much like her!

Perhaps it was the best choice for his daughter to agree to his request at that time.

At this moment, Li Mingfei and Xiao Qi had already arrived at the side of the huge bonfire volcano.

The host had already reached the end.

"Now, let us bid farewell to our departed friends with smiles at this crucial moment!"

coax!

Almost instantly, the entire mountain of relics burst into flames.

The enormous flames cast a crimson glow on everyone's faces, yet they did not shy away from the light.

Flames shot skyward, but not a single drop landed on anyone nearby.

It was as if deceased loved ones were silently watching over their families through these flames.

Suddenly, a child in the crowd shouted very loudly towards the campfire.

"Brother, I'll miss you. Rest in peace!"

That voice seemed to flip a switch that brought tears to everyone's eyes. At that moment, everyone was filled with tears, yet they also smiled, waving at the campfire.

"May you rest in peace, Father!"

"Son, may you rest in peace!"

"Wife, may you rest in peace!"

……

As voices filled with longing rang out, the campfire seemed to sense something, and began to spin rapidly, forming a small fire tornado.

In a daze, some people saw someone waving at them from within the flames, and then disappear in a flash along the towering fiery tornado.

The campfire has stopped!

The crowd dispersed.

But the longing never ends.

However, Li Mingfei was not so happy.

Early in the morning, Li Mingfei brought Xiao Qi to the inn to prepare for work.

Suddenly, he was drawn to the two people at the door, but when he saw them clearly, he was stunned.

"Holy crap, what are you guys doing here?!"

Upon hearing Li Mingfei's voice, the elderly couple smiled broadly.

"Hehehe, young man, we've just come to see Xiao Qi!"

Ever since they saw Xiaoqi that day, the elderly couple had been thinking about her day and night, and finally decided to see her one more time.

That's how I found out where Li Mingfei works and came here.

However, Li Mingfei refused the elderly couple's request quite decisively.

"No!"

Just kidding, this is Xiao Qi, not your Ling'er.

However, faced with the elderly couple's pleas, especially the request from the parents of his former crush, he ultimately gave them one last look out of consideration for Ling'er.

Of course, a warning wasn't forgotten after it was all over.

"Just this once! You're really disrupting our lives!"

The elderly couple nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"no problem!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the elderly couple reluctantly left.

For the next few days, they kept their promise, only taking a quick look at Xiaoqi from afar before leaving.

Seeing this, Li Mingfei didn't interfere much. Anyway, Ling'er would be seen by others when she was at the inn. As long as it didn't disturb his life, he could do whatever he wanted!

But a month later, Li Mingfei quickly noticed that the elderly couple seemed to have more gray hair, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, it's normal for people's hair to turn white as they get older, and it's also normal for it to change a bit after just experiencing the pain of losing a daughter!

But by the second month, he couldn't bear to watch anymore; the two of them were getting weaker and weaker.

I wanted to ask the two what was going on, but after thinking about it, I went to find Lu Changfeng, who was slacking off.

"Brother Lu, could you secretly check on Ling'er's parents' situation for me?"

"I noticed something was off about their expressions!"

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng wasn't surprised that the two were near the inn; he simply nodded.

"Okay, I'll take care of this!"

Lu Changfeng's powerful divine sense quickly swept over the two of them, and the result was immediately apparent.

"Yes, their health is quite poor. At this rate, they probably only have about a month left to live!"

Li Mingfei was shocked after hearing this.

"How could this happen? I saw them setting up stalls during the Lirenhui event before, how did it turn out like this!"

Lu Changfeng immediately did the calculations, and when he saw the result, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, you can probably guess the reason; it's either Xiao Qi or Ling'er!"

"They treated Xiaoqi like Ling'er, believing their daughter had found a good match, so they were content, and that's why things turned out this way!"

Li Mingfei fell silent. He hadn't expected that seeing Xiao Qi would turn out like this for the old couple!

So he finally made a decision: for the next month, Xiaoqi would spend more time with them!

A month later, Ling'er's parents died! In the end, it was Li Mingfei who escorted them home!

This can be considered a cycle!
