Madam Wei sobbed and looked at Liu Sanniang, asking, “Really? I’m old. Don’t lie to me.”
Madam Wei quickly wanted to confirm if what Liu Sanniang said was true.
Liu Sanniang wiped Madam Wei’s tears and nodded with a smile. “I’ve done everything I need to do. In the future, I’ll stay at home with you.”
Liu Sanniang leaned on Madam Wei’s shoulder. The love of family was always sweet and warm.
These were all the reasons why she had struggled to walk back from the darkness.
Madam Wei was overjoyed to hear Liu Sanniang’s guarantee and quickly wiped her tears. “Hurry up and go in. I’m going to make dozens of dishes today to celebrate.”
Madam Wei’s hands were trembling. She pulled Lin Jie into the house and shouted to Mr. Liu, “Come and prepare food with me. Later, we’ll cook a good meal for our daughter. You haven’t drunk with Yan for a long time. I have to cook a few eggs for General Black first.”
Madam Wei dragged Lin Jie to the kitchen. General Black was still familiar with the Liu family. He seemed to like being doted on by Madam Wei. When he heard that Madam Wei was going to cook eggs for him, he wagged his tail and followed behind her.
Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang patted Chu Yan on the shoulder and walked into the house.
Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan did not appear. Instead, they waited silently because they knew that Liu Sanniang did not have much time left. She needed time to say goodbye to her family.
Hu Yu was very unhappy. She leaned against Liu Yuanyuan listlessly.
Hu Yu, who had always been lively, did not speak. Liu Yuanyuan did not speak either. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Madam Wei asked Lin Jie to help start the fire. She placed more than ten eggs in the pot and went to the stove. She pulled Lin Jie and asked, “Jie, tell me the truth. Is Sanniang leaving?”
Madam Wei’s eyes were red. She looked at Lin Jie’s face and saw tears in his eyes. Hee nodded. “Shifu sacrificed herself to save the world. The divine aura can only sustain her life for three months at most. At the end of August…”
Madam Wei covered her mouth to stop herself from crying.
“So the rumors in the capital are all true…”
Ever since October last year, plague rampaged through the Xia Dynasty. Temples were always full of people praying. In the face of a disaster, people could not do anything.
At that time, most of them stayed in seclusion. In private, Mr. Liu and Madam Wei even talked about it. They were worried about Liu Sanniang, who had not returned yet. They wondered if their daughter had gone to deal with the plague.
Everything had returned to normal now. Liu Sanniang was back, but when Madam Wei hugged her daughter just now, she felt that it was not right. Liu Sanniang’s body was too cold.
Madam Wei tried her best not to cry. Now that she heard it from Lin Jie, she could no longer hold back her tears.
Lin Jie lowered his head, not knowing how to comfort her.
Mr. Liu came in at some point. He walked to Madam Wei’s side and patted her shoulder. He sighed and said, “Let’s spend time together happily as a family for the last few days. Don’t let our daughter be worried about us.”
Madam Wei cried and nodded.
Madam Wei touched Lin Jie’s head. “Jie, I’ll make you something delicious later.
Eat more so that you can grow up quickly.”
Lin Jie nodded.
General Black sat at the side docilely.
Madam Wei touched General Black’s head. “You little hero, you can stay at home in the future. Even if you don’t look as mighty as before, you’re still the most handsome General Black.”
General Black leaned against Madam Wei’s palm and licked it, silently expressing his joy.
Because she did not have much time, Liu Sanniang stayed with Chu Yan at the Liu family’s house. In her spare time, she would still embroider for her family.
While she was thinking about how to say goodbye to her family, they already knew that she was leaving.
Everyone was trying their best to treat her well. They did not ask or say anything.
Since Liu Sanniang was back, Su Yanyu naturally had to come.
Su Yanyu had originally composed himself, but the moment he saw Liu Sanniang, he broke down. He went up and knelt down with a thud. He hugged Liu Sanniang’s legs and cried, his face covered in snot and tears.
Liu Sanniang had no choice but to let Chu Yan leave first.
Chu Yan left with a cold expression.
Su Yanyu howled and cried, “Shifu, Shifu… If you leave, where can I find you? Will our fate as master and disciple end forever…”
Liu Sanniang was a little helpless. Speaking of which, Su Yanyu was about the same age as her, but he was crying like a child.
Su Yanyu did not feel that there was anything wrong with him doing this. In his opinion, Liu Sanniang was his elder.
Liu Sanniang had given him a new life. If not for Liu Sanniang, he would have died long ago. Liu Sanniang was the guiding star in his life. She had made him what he was.
The more Su Yanyu thought about it, the sadder he became.
Liu Sanniang wiped his tears helplessly. “Don’t cry. You’re also my disciple and a part of the Mystic World. Don’t let anything affect your Dao heart. In the future, when you choose your disciples, you have to teach them well.”
Su Yanyu nodded.
Liu Sanniang sighed. “You have to follow your heart when it comes to your relationship with Liu Yuanyuan. If you want to quit, you have to make it clear to her. Don’t make her hate you.”
Su Yanyu nodded. “Shifu, don’t worry. I know what I have to do.”
Su Yanyu went out with red and swollen eyes. Seeing him like this, Liu Sanniang felt that it was time to find a time to say goodbye to her family.
At night, the family sat around the big round table to eat. Liu Sanniang raised her wine bowl and the family looked at her with reluctance. Madam Wei and Mr. Liu almost cried.
Liu Sanniang’s eyes were filled with tears. As she smiled, she said in a choked voice, “Father, Mother, First Brother, Sister-in-law, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, I know you all know that I’m leaving. Thank you for taking care of me. I love you..”
