Sunil was silent for a long time. He suddenly looked up at his wife and said, "Honey, you still can't get over it?"
Sonakshi turned her head to look at him, her eyes empty and calm, and replied: "I will never get over it in my lifetime."
Hearing this, Sunil seemed to have made up his mind, and a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, “Sonaksh, I know that after Arshi left, you have been living for me, and I have been living for you. We have both trapped ourselves in this pain.
I’m tired, really tired.”
Sonakshi nodded, she understood what her lover meant.
It's time to let go of it all and be free.
She picked up the photo in her hand and gently stroked her daughter's face in the photo, just like she had stroked her daughter's cheek before. "Ah Xi, our family is going to be reunited. This time, no one can take you away. We will never be separated again..."
At this moment, an extremely familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Chapter 168 Happy Reunion
"Dad, Mom!"
Sonakshi and Sunil turned around abruptly upon hearing the voice.
They saw their daughter Ah Xi, whom they missed deeply, standing not far away, smiling happily, like a lovely little white flower.
They didn't care about anything else, only their daughter was in front of them, and they ran towards her desperately.
When they got closer, they squatted down almost at the same time, stretched out their trembling hands, and held her tightly in their arms with all their strength, fearing that if they let go, she would disappear again.
At this moment, the longing, pain, guilt and other emotions that had accumulated for a long time suddenly surged into their hearts, turning into unstoppable tears, pouring down their cheeks.
Not far away, Xianyun quietly watched this touching scene, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
At this moment, her slender hand was suddenly held gently, and a warmth came from her hand.
Xianyun was startled at first, but then he reacted instantly, pulled his hand away, glared at Song Yinjian beside him with shame and anger, and said with gritted teeth, "Traitor!"
Song Yinjian looked at her innocently, pretending to be aggrieved, "Master, I was so moved by this happy scene that I couldn't help myself."
Xianyun snorted coldly, "If there's a next time, I'll break your dog legs."
"Disciple has taken note of it." Song Yinjian said honestly.
Xianyun knew in her heart that this guy probably just remembered it verbally, so she was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned her attention back to Ah Xi.
Sonakshi and Sumaal were seen crying for a long time but still hugged Ashi tightly.
Ah Xi's face flushed red, and he panted a little and said, "Dad, Mom, please loosen up a little, I can't breathe."
However, Sonakshi not only did not let go, but hugged her even tighter, "Mom knows all this is my fantasy, so please let Mom be willful for a little longer, okay?"
Sunil also agreed, "Yes, I also had hallucinations, and everything felt exactly like the real thing. Ahi, please forgive Dad and Mom for their greed."
Ah Xi was speechless. It seemed that after all this time, these two people still thought that what they saw was just an illusion.
"Let go, I'm serious, I...I can't breathe."
Hearing her distressed voice, Sonakshi quickly released his embrace and looked at her nervously, his eyes full of self-blame, "Ahi, I'm sorry, it's all Mom's fault."
Sunil was a little more sober at this time. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself twice.
A sharp pain suddenly came from his cheek, making him realize clearly that this was not an illusion, and everything before his eyes was happening in real life.
He exclaimed ecstatically: "Dear, this is not a fantasy! This is real, Axi is really back."
Sonakshi also slapped herself and then said excitedly: "This...this is not a fantasy."
She hugged Ah Xi tightly again, "My poor daughter, Mommy misses you so much! Mommy will never leave you again."
Sunil was jumping and dancing happily like a child.
After a long while, Sumar and Sonakshi's emotions gradually calmed down.
Then, Sunil told the truth about how he abandoned her, "The man claimed to be a doctor and took you to a quiet cabin for examination, but he turned out to be a human trafficker.
By the time I realized something was wrong and went to look for you, that person had already disappeared with you.
After we came back, your mother and I went everywhere to borrow money, but we couldn't get enough to go to Liyue again.
So, I can only...give up temporarily."
He was choked with sobs and couldn't speak, tears kept rolling down his cheeks, wetting his clothes.
Ah Xi's heart ached. She reached out her small hand and gently wiped his eyes. Her voice was soft but firm as she said, "Dad, I don't blame you. This actually led to me meeting Master Song. It was he who took me to see Doctor Baizhu, and I'm still alive today."
As she spoke, she pointed her finger at Song Yinjian not far away.
Sunil and Sonakshi looked in the direction she pointed and saw a young man in a green gown standing there.
He has an upright posture, exudes an extraordinary bearing, and radiates an ethereal and otherworldly temperament.
Next to him was a woman with a beautiful face. Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, her black hair fell behind her like a waterfall, and she wore a pair of red-framed glasses. She looked intellectual and noble.
Ah Xi's bright eyes rolled cleverly, with a hint of playfulness on her face, and she whispered, "The pretty aunt next to me is Immortal Master Song's favorite. She is the one who sealed the demonic scale disease in my body."
After hearing what Ashi said, Sunil and Sonakshi subconsciously thought that Xianyun was Song Yinjian's wife.
Afterwards, Sunil and Sonakshi each held Ashi's little hand, and the family walked towards Song Yinjian and Xianyun.
After coming to the two, Sunil first bowed respectfully, then looked at them sincerely and said with gratitude: "Thank you and your wife for treating and caring for Ashi.
Your great kindness will be remembered by our family. From now on, as long as I can do it, please feel free to ask for it."
After the words fell, Xianyun frowned slightly and clarified in a cold voice: "I am Song Yinjian's master, Master Liuyun Jiefeng, not his wife.
Saving Ah Xi was just a matter of convenience, and I don't need your gratitude."
Sunil was stunned when he heard this, and said apologetically, "Master Liuyunjiefeng, I'm sorry. My daughter said you were Immortal Master Song's favorite, so we subconsciously assumed that was the case. I'm really sorry."
Chapter 169 Everything is the Will of the Tree
Unlike Liyue and Inazuma, which have distinct four seasons, Xumi is like spring all year round, with a mild and pleasant climate, flowers and green grass everywhere, and all things are flourishing and full of vitality.
In the warm morning light, Song Yinjian and Xianyun walked side by side on the green street, heading towards Axi's home.
However, the atmosphere along the way was a bit depressing.
Song Yinjian tried to strike up a conversation many times.
But Xianyun remained silent, and no emotion could be seen on his cold face.
This made him very anxious. He was not afraid that she would hit him, but he was afraid that she would ignore him.
Xianyun had actually caught a glimpse of his uneasy look out of the corner of his eye, and he found it funny, with a barely perceptible smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Soon, the two arrived at their destination.
The Axi family had been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as they saw them coming, they immediately went out with smiles on their faces to greet them warmly.
Ah Xi ran forward happily, holding Song Yinjian and Xianyun's hands, and kept saying words of welcome.
Then, everyone went into the house together.
After entering the door, Song Yinjian took a look at the environment inside and frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Sunil's expression became awkward. "Master Song, our home is very simple and I apologize for my poor hospitality."
Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian immediately showed a trace of apology on his face and waved his hand, "Scholar Sunil, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant.
I just didn't expect that you, a senior scholar who should have a good treatment in the Ministry of Justice, would actually live here."
Sunil sighed helplessly, "A few years ago, in order to treat Ashi, we almost spent all our family savings and owed a lot of money, so we had no choice but to move here."
Song Yinjian pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Didn't the Ministry of Education provide any help?"
Mentioning the Faithful Court, Sunil was filled with rage and said through gritted teeth, “Not only did they not provide any help, they also docked my salary, saying that my research progress was slow.
Recently, they even cancelled my research project, which could very well change future research projects!"
Song Yinjian became interested after hearing this and asked, "Can you tell me about your research project?"
When Sunil heard Song Yinjian ask about his research project, he replied with great enthusiasm, "I'm researching an improved steam engine. I'm already deeply involved in research on its application. As long as I continue this research, I'm sure it will change the times."
Song Yinjian's eyes suddenly lit up.
At present, Liyue's business is indeed very developed, but its industry is still in its infancy. If it can be assisted by advanced machinery such as improved steam engines, the entire Liyue's industry will take off rapidly.
"Scholar Sunil, could you please tell me more about this?" he asked expectantly.
Sunil immediately became excited, as if he had met a close friend, and began to talk incessantly about the research on improving the steam engine.
Song Yinjian listened attentively, and from time to time, based on the knowledge he had learned, he put forward some of his own opinions and suggestions.
Sunil was pleasantly surprised to find that these views and suggestions were very advanced and valuable.
So, he and Song Yinjian discussed the topic of improving the steam engine enthusiastically, and seemed to have completely forgotten everything around them.
Xianyun stared at Song Yinjian in a daze. As he watched him talk so eloquently, a strange thought arose in his mind: Is there anything in this world that he doesn't know?
After a long time, Song Yinjian, who was thirsty, gradually reacted and hurriedly sent an apologetic and flattering look to Xianyun.
Seeing this, Xianyun turned his head away and ignored it.
Sunil also realized that the situation was not right and stopped talking.
Song Yinjian coughed lightly and said sincerely, "Scholar Sunil, Liyue is planning to establish a research institute. The benefits are extremely generous. In addition to free housing, medical care, education, and other expenses are all free. I hope you can consider it."
Sunil agreed without hesitation, "You and Master Liuyunjiefeng saved Ah Xi and our family, so you can do anything for us."
Song Yinjian quickly waved his hand with a gentle smile on his face, "No need to be so polite."
Then, Sunil hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master Song, I heard from Ah Xi that you can completely cure her demonic scale disease. Is this true?"
Song Yinjian smiled slightly, "Of course it's true. But do you know why I saved Ah Xi and why I can cure the demonic scale disease?"
Sunil couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Song Yinjian said meaningfully: "Everything is the will of the tree."
"The will of the tree?" Sunil was stunned at first, his mind rapidly pondering the meaning of this sentence. Then, as if he had thought of something, his face changed slightly and his voice became trembling. "You mean...?"
Song Yinjian nodded, his expression becoming serious. "Yes, all the arrangements of fate are arranged by the deity, the Great Compassionate Tree King, and I am her messenger, specially come to rescue you."
Sunil was incredulous. "How is this possible? The Great Compassion Tree King has been dead for hundreds of years."
Xianyun on the side frowned slightly, thinking that his traitor had started to deceive people again.
Song Yinjian said slowly, "Hundreds of years ago, the Great Compassion Tree King was contaminated by forbidden knowledge and had to reincarnate again.
Before reincarnation, she left behind a divine thought, waiting for the arrival of the destined person hundreds of years later, and then passed it on to him, giving him power to resolve the disaster of Xumi.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved it. A brilliant and sacred beam of light shone in his hand, which seemed to be able to purify all the filth and evil in the world.
Although Sunil was shocked by the magical beam of light, he still felt that this was too bizarre. He said with half belief and half doubt, "You said the Great Kindness Tree King is the reincarnation? Could it be that the Little Auspicious Grass King is her reincarnation? This... How is this possible?"
Song Yinjian said calmly, "The answer is simple. The sages blasphemed the gods. Not only did they go against the gods' will, they also imprisoned them in order to rule Xumi forever."
Sunil's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he said.
Sonakshi had the same reaction.
After a moment, Sumar came back to his senses, a hint of caution in his eyes, and asked, "Any evidence?"
Song Yinjian smiled and said, "A thousand years ago, during a disaster, the Great Compassion Tree King used up almost all of his divine power to quell the disaster, and his body was transformed into a little girl.
These should be found among the dusty ancient books in the library of the House of the Decrees."
Sunil took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I will investigate."
Song Yinjian smiled and said, "Just a reminder, before you go, take down the Void Terminal, otherwise, it will bring disaster to yourself."
Chapter 170 Overthrowing the Church
After leaving Axi's house, Xianyun walked on the streets of Xumi with mixed feelings.
As she walked, she turned to look at Song Yinjian, who kept glancing at her from the corner of his eye, and said with a hint of emotion, "Traitor, I didn't expect you to be the messenger of the Great Compassion Tree King."
Song Yinjian was stunned when he heard this, and looked at her with wide eyes. "Master, what are you talking about? How can I, a Liyue War Wolf, be the messenger of the Great Compassion Tree King?"
After the words fell, Xianyun suddenly stopped, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Didn't you just say that you were the messenger of the Great Compassion Tree King? And, there was also that magical beam of light."
Song Yinjian chuckled, "Of course that was a lie. As for that beam of light, it was a spell I suddenly realized not long ago."
After Xianyun heard this, his anger immediately surged up to the ground, and he gritted his teeth, "Traitor, why did you do this?"
