âFather, Mother, look whoâs back.â He Da excitedly brought He Qingge to the inner courtyard.
âT-Thatâs Qinggeâ¦â The old couple pointed at He Qingge with trembling fingers. They could not believe it, and their tears fell instantly.
He had left them when he was six years old, and he had been gone for 20 years.
He Qingge looked at their tear-stained faces and was speechless. Now that he saw them, he was not as excited.
He did not know if it was because of the long period of cultivation that his heart had turned cold.
After such a long separation, there was no deep emotion.
However, when He Qingge saw the elderly coupleâs excitement, he went up to them and greeted them.
At the same time, he grabbed their hands and injected spiritual power into their bodies so that they could live more comfortably in their remaining time.
As for extending their lifespan, forget it. It might not be a good thing for ordinary people.
Moreover, their bodies had basically reached the point of exhaustion. He Qingge did not have the ability to extend their lives. Even if he paid a huge price, he could only extend their lifespan for a very short period of time.
âThatâs great, Qingge, youâre back. Itâs been hard on you all these years.â He Qinggeâs mother grabbed Su Zimeiâs hand, the smile on her face quite content.
âSheâs my senior.â
âSo sheâs older than you⦠Thatâs not bad either.â
âNo, sheâs younger than me.â
âItâs better if sheâs younger. Sheâll be obedient and sensible.â
He Qinggeâs mother was a shrewd person. She only said this when she saw Su Zimei holding He Qinggeâs hand with a smile.
Su Zimeiâs cheeks were slightly flushed, giving off a pure and shy feeling.
âMother, let them come in and sit down first.â
âYes, yes, yes. Hurry up and come in.â âXingge, how long can you stay this time?â
âI wonât be staying for long. Iâll leave soon.â
âIâll personally cook for you today. Iâll make your favorite red braised pork.â âMother, you donât have to do this at your age. Let me do it today!â âYouâre an immortal now. How can you enter the kitchen? Let me do it.â He Qinggeâs motherâs thin body was now full of vitality.
Since He Qingge could not stop her, he could only go in and lend a hand.
Soon, a table full of food was prepared. There was He Qinggeâs favorite red braised pork.
The main reason was that he was quite poor when he first reincarnated into this world. He could barely fill his stomach with food every day.
He could only have pork once in a while. From then on, it became his favorite food.
âMy Xingge has been smart since he was young. Heâs different from the rest. He knew how to help me with the housework when he was young and was quite sensible.
âHeâs never even wet his bed.
âOnce he got a little bigger, he was even more amazing. He would even climb trees to Dick un bird egg. Heâd get fish and shrimp from the river.
âAt that time, I couldnât help but sigh. If Xingge wasnât born in our family, what kind of person would he have grown up to be in those rich and noble families? But fortunately, an immortal came here and took him away, allowing him to leave this mountain.
âIt also made our lives better.â
As they talked at the table, He Qinggeâs mother kept praising He Qingge to Su Zimei.
Su Zimei looked at He Qingge strangely.
He Qinggeâs father was an honest and quiet man.
Occasionally, he would reply, but most of the time, he just listened.
He Da and his wife were much more normal.
Listening to them talk about his childhood, He Qingge was a little silent. After so many years, he did not expect them to still remember.
âOh right, Qingge, I have something for you when you now that youâre here. When you left with the immortal alone back then, I was actually a little worried. Now that youâre back, I really have to thank that immortal.â
After the conversation at the dinner table, his father patted He Qinggeâs shoulder and walked into a room.
It made He Qingge very curious about what he wanted to give him.
He Qinggeâs father walked into the room and carefully took out a small box made of brocade wood from the deepest part of a large cabinet where many clothes were buried.
The material of the box was quite good, and it seemed to be quite old.
After taking it out, he carefully rubbed it a few times before handing it to He
Qingge.
He Qingge took the box curiously and opened it gently.
It was actually a round and smooth stone. It was not simple.
From He Qinggeâs spiritual will, he sensed that it was a standard round ball.
In the natural world, it was almost impossible to naturally produce such a near-perfect ball.
There was no such carving technique on it, not to mention that it was impossible for someone to carve such a perfect ball in this era.
If this was something left behind by a cultivator, it would take at least be a
Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to be able to carve a perfect ball.
At least He Qingge believed that with his current cultivation, he would not be able to create a perfect ball.
There was still no reaction from the spiritual energy in his body. It was not a
magic tool.
âFather, this isâ¦â He Qingge was a little confused as to why such a thing would be in his house.
In the eyes of those who did not know treasure, this was just an ordinary stone.
Although He Qingge could not see its use, he could see that it probably held a hidden secret.
âThis is our family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. Itâs time to hand it over to you.â
âFamily heirloom!â He Qingge was a little shocked. It seemed that his family might not be simple.
âWhy not leave it for Big Brother?â
âI have to leave you with something to remember. Iâm afraid that we, your parents, have to leave your side soon. I only hope that this thing can replace us and accompany you in the future.
âOur bodies might not be able to last much longer. Weâre really excited that youâre back this time. It can be considered that youâve fulfilled our last wish before leaving this world.â
He Qingge held the white stone in his hand and listened to these words, feeling a little disappointed.
If it had been a little earlier, he might have been able to lead his parents onto the path of cultivation, although he did not know how far they could have gone.
However, it was too late now. Their lives had already come to an end.
âDad, why donât I extend your life?â He Qingge said.
This so-called extension could not be for too long. At most, their lives could only be extended for a year.
âNo need. Youâre an immortal. Weâll never be able to live as long as you. Even if you extend our lifespan now, what about the future? Are you going to continue to extend our lives?
âIâve more or less understood you cultivators. If you want to extend our lives, youâll probably have to pay a very high price.
âWe donât want to drag you down at the end of our lives. Weâre already satisfied to see you one last time.
âIn the future, you must be more careful when youâre alone. Donât make reckless decisions.â His father patted He Qinggeâs shoulder with a simple and honest smile.
He Qingge was speechless for a long time. The emotions in his heart kept rolling.
âAlright, Iâll accompany you to the end!â
