The Sutra of Nothingness

The man's heart-wrenching cry echoed in the air, attracting people who had been hiding far away to gather around. They looked at everything in front of them in amazement, and for a moment they could not understand why the situation suddenly reversed. At the same time, Xiao Lingbi Fairy was fortunate to get help from a senior brother and received treatment again, otherwise it would be hard to know when she could recover.

"Mother, this... didn't you bring me here to apologize? Why are you doing that now... aren't you afraid of the family power behind them anymore?" Little Lingbi Fairy staggered forward and asked weakly.

Lingbi Fairy's mother stared at her daughter, her eyes full of guilt and helplessness: "Alas, child, I'm sorry! I really didn't know they would treat you like this before, but from now on, you must learn to face life alone. Don't blame your mother for abandoning you, because the court has reached the time when it needs to be drastically reorganized!"

Little Lingbi Fairy widened her eyes, her face full of confusion. Her mother's words were very different from the past, making her feel extremely confused. "Mother, are you going to leave me? Why? Even if they continue to bully me, I will never resist again! Please don't leave, okay?" Tears slid down her pink cheeks, as if every drop was knocking on her mother's heart.

"Oh, poor child! Sometimes, we have to do many things against our will! Today, I couldn't suppress the impulse in my heart and took action. In fact, I expected that people would notice it! It's a pity that from now on, I'm afraid I can't be with you anymore, but no matter what, you must grow up happily, and don't forget what I said to you! Also, if you can stay like this, try not to change your appearance easily!" However, facing the expectant and pleading eyes of Lingbi Fairy, she did not give any response. She just muttered to herself, and then looked up at the boundless sky.

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly sounded: "Who is so daring that he dares to act wildly in my Huaxia Academy? Do you really think that there is no talent in our Huaxia Academy?" Along with this roar, an old man with white hair and beard but a ruddy face like a child appeared in front of everyone. He was flashing with dazzling lightning, and the electric light was intertwined and lingering, which made people feel scared just by looking at him from a distance.

"Alas, you have performed your duties as the dean of the branch school too poorly! When your own students were bullied, you turned a blind eye; instead, when those people from big families suffered the slightest injustice, you rushed over like a pug and couldn't wait to show off! I think you have forgotten the original intention of Confucius in establishing the academy. What does it mean to teach everyone? What does it mean that all beings are equal?" Lingbi Fairy's mother was heartbroken and disappointed with the old man. Every word he said was heartbreaking, revealing his true thoughts and feelings.

"Hmph, you insolent servant! How dare you question the head of my courtyard so bluntly? Don't you really want your daughters to stay here and continue their studies? Listen up, everyone. Capture these two girls immediately. I must lead them to Luoyang City and kneel down to apologize to the City Lord Longqi!" The old man felt ashamed to be questioned by the mother of Lingbi Fairy in public. He gave the order angrily while his face turned red.

Soon, following the old man's order, all the people in the punishment hall of the academy rushed out immediately and surrounded the two of them in just a moment. If it weren't for the senior brother who helped Lingbi Fairy and immediately ran away when he saw that the situation was not right, they would probably have been surrounded.

"Alas, you are really hopeless! Now that things have come to this, it seems that I must personally take you to Xianyang City to confront those so-called saints' disciples!" Lingbi Fairy's mother faced numerous sieges, but she showed no fear. She just raised her hand and raised her foot casually, and the old man flew to her obediently as if he was under a spell.

"My child, mother is leaving first." Lingbi Fairy's mother said softly, her eyes full of love and reluctance. She gently stroked Lingbi Fairy's face, as if she wanted to freeze this moment forever.

Then, the mother leaned over to Fairy Lingbi's ear and whispered, "Let me take you home now, but you must remember to leave immediately after you get home. The farther the better, and it would be best if you never come back in this life. When mother has dealt with all the things, she will definitely try her best to reunite with you!"

After saying that, the mother gently pointed her finger, and a mysterious force suddenly emerged. In the blink of an eye, the Lingbi Fairy disappeared out of thin air in front of everyone, leaving only an amazing silence.

"No! No! Mother! Don't!" Lingbi Fairy's voice echoed in the air, full of despair and pain. However, no matter how she shouted, she could not change the reality.

At the same time, a shrill scream resounded through the sky. "No! Impossible! Impossible!" It turned out that at that moment, the struggle of Lingbi Fairy merged with the shouting of the dean of Huaxia Academy. They seemed to feel the same fear and helplessness, and the two voices intertwined together like a thrilling symphony.

When Fairy Lingbi opened her eyes again, she found herself back in that familiar yet simple home. Looking around, she saw the clothes her mother had washed for her before she left, neatly hung on the hangers, and smelled the aroma of spiritual soup wafting from the kitchen. These ordinary scenes made Fairy Lingbi feel heartbroken, and tears could not stop flowing down.

She slowly walked to the bed and sat down, tightly holding the letter her mother left for her. The handwriting on it was still clearly visible. Every word was filled with her mother's deep love and earnest expectations for her. Lingbi Fairy silently read every word in the letter, feeling her mother's final care.

Memories flooded into her mind, and Fairy Lingbi recalled the good times she had spent with her mother, the warm laughter, the warm hugs... Now, all of this has become a distant past. But she knew that everything her mother did was to protect her and keep her away from danger.

Fairy Lingbi wiped away the tears from her eyes and vowed to be strong. Although she was still reluctant, she knew that she could only survive safely by following her mother's instructions. So she got up, packed her bags and prepared to leave this place and start a new life...

"Mother, it's my fault that I'm useless, but don't worry, I will definitely succeed in my practice and come find you. You must hold on, your daughter will come to reunite with you soon!" Lingbi Fairy murmured, looking at the place where she had lived for many years.
