Chapter 1415 - 415: Reunion! (6k)

Su Yurou slightly raised the corners of her lips, her eyes full of meaning: "Only those who’ve done something guilty would feel uneasy. Like me, as open and upright as Second Sister-in-law, I’ve never felt anything like that～"

Liu Rushuang’s gaze focused: "It seems Second Sister-in-law’s character is even more upright than I thought～"

"Naturally～" Su Yurou covered her lips with a fan, with a seductive charm at her brows and eyes, "Why, does Sister-in-law find anything wrong?"

"No, no!" Liu Rushuang quickly waved her hand and pointed above her head, "Second Sister-in-law stands under the bright sun now, not only is her body upright, even her shadow can’t be seen～"

Su Yurou looked down and then laughed so hard that she rocked, "That’s true～but..."

Her eyes suddenly flashed, her lips slightly parted, "Isn’t it possible that since we are floating in the air, even if we had a shadow, it couldn’t cast down?"

"What Second Sister-in-law says is reasonable～" Liu Rushuang softly chuckled, "It’s Sister-in-law who was foolish."

Su Yurou lightly waved the round fan, with mischief in her eyes: "You’re not foolish, you’re just easily led astray～who says there’s no shadow when standing in the air?"

She gently raised a slender jade finger, pointing to the white clouds higher above.

Only to see those white clouds slowly drifting in the breeze, casting mottled shadows between the mountains and palaces.

Liu Rushuang’s expression slightly changed.

Su Yurou looked up at the high-hanging sun, her lips slightly parted: "Actually, as long as we all live under this sun, there’s nowhere to hide, traces will always be left."

After speaking, her skirt twirled lightly, stepping away in the air.

Liu Rushuang was silent for a long time, then looked down.

On the mountain path, a small black dot was gradually elongating—that was her shadow.

As the sun set westward, that shadow also continuously extended.

She eventually said nothing and turned to leave.

And no one noticed, at a high-level window of a palace not far away, Lin Jingtang was standing still like a pine tree.

Her posture was upright, hands folded on the front of her abdomen, exuding an aura of dignity amidst her calm solemnity.

Her phoenix eyes quietly watched everything that just happened, her gaze calm as an ancient well.

A moment later, she gently closed the window and her figure quietly disappeared into the great hall...

...

In front of Jingxin Hall, a gentle breeze blew.

Shen Hanyi stood in a white garment whiter than snow, silver hair cascading down to her waist, glistening with a cool sheen in the sunlight.

She wore a veil and stood quietly in front of the hall, like a cold plum in the snow, exuding a bit of aloofness in her cold independence.

When Chaolu and Xishuang saw this Fourth Miss suddenly return, their faces instantly turned pale with shock, hurriedly bowed, and then quickly retreated into the side hall, shutting the door tightly.

Shen Yunzhou noticed and his eyes flashed with admiration.

Then he straightened his attire, stepped forward respectfully: "I am Shen Yunzhou, here with my sister Shen Hanyi, to pay respects to Master Qingzhou!"

Inside the hall, Zhou Qing, who was deploying the plan to hunt down Yama with Second Great Uncle, was struck still as if hit by lightning when he heard this familiar report.

His heart pounded violently, as if it might burst from his chest.

His blood-colored eyes uncontrollably looked towards the outside of the hall, where the figure he had longed for day and night suddenly appeared in view.

Zhou Qing’s fingers trembled slightly, his Adam’s apple moved up and down, yet he couldn’t make a sound.

His gaze followed that figure greedily, as if he wanted to make up for the more than one hundred sixty years that had passed.

Especially the fist under his sleeve which unconsciously clenched and unclenched, filled with excitement and nervousness.

Second Great Uncle saw Zhou Qing in such a disoriented state, a flash of brilliance in his eyes.

He had long wanted to meet this woman who haunted Zhou Qing’s dreams.

After all, whether he had a grandson or granddaughter depended on this moment.

Seeing Zhou Qing dazed in place, he quickly walked towards the hall doors.

"Creak—"

The sound of the hall doors slowly opening startled the two outside the hall.

Shen Hanyi’s originally calm heart suddenly rippled.

Expectation, joy, nervousness... all sorts of emotions intertwined, making her unconsciously grip her sleeve tightly.

If... if Lu Yaoyao was wrong?

At that moment, the hall doors opened a crack.

A young man wearing a tiger-head cap poked his head out, full of excitement.

Strange, young, full of vigor—completely unlike the man in her memory.

Shen Hanyi’s heart sank abruptly, the light in her eyes instantly dimmed.

"He’s not the master, he’s his disciple," Shen Yunzhou gently reminded.

Hearing this, hope rekindled in Shen Hanyi’s eyes.

Second Great Uncle stared at Shen Hanyi, growing more satisfied the more he looked.

This frost-cool demeanor, this captivating beauty, this perfect figure, no wonder Zhou Qing couldn’t forget her.

With such a heavenly lady, the suitors must line up all over Nanhuang State, yet why did she take a liking to my boy?

And even forced herself on him?

But now is not the time to think about this.

Second Great Uncle’s eyes flashed brightly, secretly operating the "Mystical Spirit Breath Detecting Technique," a wave of invisible spiritual power quietly probing Shen Hanyi’s Dantian Sea of Qi.

A moment later, ecstasy flashed in his eyes, nearly causing him to laugh out loud.

"It’s Master Siyun Ya, please..." Before Shen Yunzhou could finish speaking, Second Great Uncle shut the hall door with a "bang."

"She’s pregnant, she’s really pregnant!" Turning around, Second Great Uncle rubbed his hands with excitement.

He quickly ran to the still-dazed Zhou Qing and said, "You guessed right, I’m going to be a grandpa, you’re going to be a dad!"

Zhou Qing remained frozen, at a loss.

He had imagined countless reunions, yet when this moment truly arrived, his mind was blank.

It had been more than a hundred and sixty years; except for a vague encounter as "elder" at the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace, in reality, they hadn’t seen each other in a long, long time since the Spirit Slash safeguard ended.
