Chapter 194 The Reunion
The next day.
"Dad, are you sure you're not going back? Mom's already calmed down, really, I'm not lying to you." Su Yu looked at Su Xinyuan sitting on the hotel rooftop and said helplessly.
Su Xinyuan gave Su Yu a disdainful look and said, "Now you know to try and persuade your old man? Why didn't you try to persuade your mother when you arrested me? Now you want me to go back? Too late! I'm not going back today, no matter what! Absolutely not!"
Su Xinyuan rolled her eyes at Su Yu and spat at him fiercely. If Su Yu hadn't dodged quickly, the spittle would have landed on his face.
It's not that I didn't try to persuade my mother, but if I had, the result might have been that my father and I would both be kneeling on the soul-guided controller. As the saying goes, "better to die for your friend than for yourself," so this really isn't my fault.
"Dad, please don't! Mom said that as long as you go back this time, she won't hold it against you anymore. I'm not lying to you, really, I swear to God I'm not lying!"
Seeing Su Xinyuan's disheveled appearance, Su Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Su Yu went through all the family records, and it seemed that life had always been like this since his father got married.
It's not that my father is weaker than others, it's that he can't bring himself to do it, nor would he know how. Otherwise, with his strength as a seven-ring Soul Saint, how could he possibly be no match for Mu Hanyan, a five-ring Soul King?
You can just spoil my mother...
"How many times have you ever been right? All you do is screw over your dad! Can't you do anything useful? If I'd known you never wanted to stay at Shrek Academy, I should have sent you to the Sun Moon Empire in the first place. It would have saved us from all this trouble. It's all your fault for coming up with such a terrible idea!"
Su Xinyuan grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, and finally kicked Su Yu off the rooftop.
Su Yu stood on a floating shard of mirror, looking at his father who was getting angrier and angrier. "How can you blame me for this? Who approved my plan in the first place? Who organized and carried it out? Fine, fine, you can stay here. I'm going back to tell Mother that you're not coming back."
"You little brat, stop right there!"
"Impossible! Go kneel on the soul-guided controller yourself, Dad. Good luck!"
"You bastard, don't you dare run away!"
"Dad, I'm sorry, but I'm determined to be this unfilial son today. I'll make sure you go back to sleeping on the sofa and kneel on the washboard, no matter what!"
"Come back! You better come back here!"
Su Xinyuan watched the departing figure with great anger and frustration. Just as he was about to get up and chase after it, he discovered that a figure had appeared behind him at some point.
"What, you really want to go back to sleeping on the sofa and kneeling on the washboard?" The person looked at Su Xinyuan with interest and nodded with satisfaction.
Su Xinyuan smiled wryly and helplessly, "Yan'er, just kneel then. Who told me to like you? Hahaha..."
The person who arrived was none other than Mu Hanyan.
"Since you've shown remorse, I'll let it go this time. Let's go see the sect leader; it's been several years since we last met."
Mu Hanyan took Su Xinyuan's arm and smiled as she looked in the direction of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.
"Let's go see the Hall Master. We won't be going back to the Star Luo Empire." Su Xinyuan glanced at the direction Su Yu had left with a complicated look in his eyes, the former dejection and longing gone.
The two figures gradually disappeared into the street. Watching this scene, Su Yu smiled knowingly, "As expected, the sect leader is still a reliable and honest person!"
Mingdu, Mingyue Hotel.
At this moment, a considerable number of people had gathered in the spacious hall, which spanned several thousand square meters. As soon as Huo Yuhao and his group entered, a young woman in a silver dress immediately came to greet them.
"Greetings, distinguished guests. Are you here to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament?" The young woman was tall and slender, with an exceptionally beautiful face. Her silver dress was perfectly proportioned, reaching past her calves, giving her an elegant and noble air. A faint smile graced her pretty face, easily making people feel at ease.
After going through a series of procedures, Huo Yuhao habitually used his mental detection. However, here they encountered not Xu Jiujiu, but the Shrek team led by Wang Qiu'er.
"Huo Yuhao? Isn't Su Yu with you?" Wang Qiu'er walked up to the group, and the Tang Clan members looked at her curiously.
"Wang Dong? How can there be two Wang Dongs!" Xu Sanshi looked at Wang Qiu'er in surprise, pointing at Wang Dong'er and then at Wang Qiu'er.
Wang Dong'er looked calmly at Wang Qiu'er, her eyes showing no emotion. "Su Yu didn't come with us. I thought he would come with you."
"Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave. If you find him, please be sure to tell me." Wang Qiu'er glanced at everyone and then left.
Because of the matter of the soul beasts, Wang Qiu'er spent most of her time in the Star Dou Great Forest, so she rarely appeared in the academy. Therefore, the only people who knew Wang Qiu'er were basically those few teachers and the dean.
"Dong'er, wait a minute, I have something I want to ask you?" Xiao Xiao whispered in Wang Dong'er's ear.
Although Wang Dong'er already knew Wang Qiu'er's identity, she still found it somewhat unbelievable. "You're talking about Wang Qiu'er, right? I'll tell everyone the details later."
After everyone had settled down, Wang Dong'er recounted Wang Qiu'er's story, but omitted Wang Qiu'er's identity.
"Are you sure she's really not your long-lost sister?" Xu Sanshi was shocked after hearing this. Two people who were not related by blood could look exactly alike.
Wang Dong'er said calmly, "If that were the case, then her martial soul would definitely inherit my family's Clear Sky Hammer. However, her martial soul doesn't actually have the Clear Sky Hammer; instead, it's the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, the Ancestor of Power."
"Aren't you worried about her at all..." Jiang Nannan thought for a moment, then silently took back the second half of her sentence.
Clearly, she was worried that Su Yu would be snatched away by Wang Qiu'er, but she felt that her words were inappropriate, so she took back the second half of her statement.
He Caitou scratched his head and said, "I don't think there's anything to worry about. But I think the most important thing right now is to find Su Yu, isn't it?"
Beibei then spoke up, "I almost forgot the important matter. Wang Dong'er, didn't you say before that Su Yu had already arrived in Mingdu? Do you have a way to contact Su Yu?"
"Yes, yes, Wang Dong'er, you should try it!" Huo Yuhao hurriedly said.
Just as Wang Dong'er was trying to contact Su Yu, a familiar voice came through. "No need to try, I've arrived."
After a long time, Su Yu was still the same as before, except that he was no longer wearing the school uniform of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard.
"Alright, let's not reminisce. People always grow up and inevitably experience things, so let's not dwell on the past." Su Yu slowly walked to the front of everyone, his expression calm and his eyes showing no sign of anything amiss.
Beibei stepped forward and patted Su Yu on the shoulder, saying, "Okay, since you've said that, it means you're no longer concerned about that matter, so we won't ask anymore."
"Vice class monitor, if you're sure you're not going to participate, what will we do?" Xiao Xiao looked at Su Yu and asked pleadingly.
Su Yu smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about the specifics. This time, Senior Brother Bei Bei is the captain. You need to trust Bei Bei, trust Yu Hao, and most importantly, trust yourselves. You Shrek Seven Devils can't just lose your own opinions without me, can you?"
"Su Yu, I have a question for you. After you left the Star Luo Empire and went to the Sunset Great Forest, where did you go?" Tears welled up in Wang Dong'er's eyes as she bit her lip and stared intently at Su Yu.
Their eyes met, and Su Yu gently took Wang Dong'er's hand and slowly said, "Do you remember? This brocade pouch was given to me by you back then."
"After I painstakingly opened that brocade pouch, I found a letter—a letter about you."
As he spoke, Su Yu handed the opened brocade pouch to Wang Dong'er, and then took out the Acacia Heartbreak Red flower, which was stained with his heart's blood, from the starlight sapphire ring in his hand.
"Perhaps I should have told you these things earlier, but as you know, too much has happened. I could only choose to reunite with you after everything was settled, Dong'er, I'm sorry..."
Su Yu didn't recount the difficulties involved; he would tell Dong'er about them later.
After reading the contents of the brocade pouch, Wang Dong'er's expression changed drastically. She never imagined that Su Yu would actually go to the legendary forbidden land of Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye for her sake.
Although Su Yu didn't say it, he must have experienced unimaginable crises and hardships during the days when he was out of contact.
"Su Yu, you..." Holding the acacia flower, Wang Dong'er could no longer hold back. She threw herself into Su Yu's arms and cried her heart out.
Ma Xiaotao looked at Wang Dong'er with some confusion, "Wang Dong'er, what's wrong...?"
In fact, not only Ma Xiaotao, but everyone else was also confused and didn't know what had happened.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Everyone's watching." Su Yu gently patted Wang Dong'er's back and whispered in her ear.
In this silent and strange atmosphere, Su Yu waited quietly for Wang Dong'er to calm down before finding a seat.
"Let me explain." Wang Dong'er had completely calmed down by now. Only then did she briefly recount the contents of the letter to everyone, and they finally understood.
"I think everyone has heard of this flower's name, and you all understand its story," Su Yu said slowly, picking up the flower.
There were still traces of bright red blood on this flower...
"Could this flower be...?" Tang Ya stared wide-eyed in surprise at the small white flower in front of her.
Acacia blossoms, red with heartbreaking longing!
The "Take a Holiday and Let It Go" series.
Now it's just my usual routine of taking a vacation and doing nothing.
