Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 199 Stars

"Okay, girl, you don't have to bother to comfort me. I am an old man with divine power. I have been in the business world, battlefield, and political arena for many years. I will not be easily defeated by sadness!" Mr. Wen smiled gently and spoke softly, as if he was talking to his own child.

"Okay, I won't delay you from spending time with your family and that guy..."

Lin Huan stood there, looking at Mr. Wen quietly. She knew that the old man had experienced a lot, and his wisdom and experience far exceeded hers—both as a human and as a young immortal. She took a deep breath, then nodded slowly, indicating that she understood what he meant.

“However, you must remember what I said, and that guy’s wish? You must not forget it, even if we are all gone. This era, our era... may be fleeting, but... those who break their promises must be punished!” Mr. Wen’s tone was serious and firm, but there was a smile in his eyes, as if he was giving Lin Huan a very important task.

Lin Huan nodded again, with a determined light in her eyes. She replied solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't forget it."

Whether it's the promise I made to you or to my father... or everything I've experienced with you in this era... I will never forget it.

Watching Mr. Tianquan walking away, Ganyu slowly walked forward, came to Lin Huan's side, and carefully put the little boy in her arms into Lin Huan's arms.

"It seems... like it's a bit redundant for me to come and comfort you at this time, right?" Ganyu's gentle voice sounded.

"That's not the case." Lin Huan responded softly. The smile that he had been forcing himself to show to Mr. Tianquan just now was slightly restrained at this moment. "But... I am really happy that you can come to visit me and my father."

"Don't say that. Mr. Wen is a close friend of Master Hu, and you, Ah Huan, are also a very good friend of mine... It would be inappropriate if I didn't come to see you at such an important moment."

Gan Yu smiled and touched the top of Xiao Lan's head in Lin Huan's arms. As she was touching, she heard Lin Huan whispering to her.

"Ganyu, when you came, did you see Brother Xingzhi?"

Ganyu shook her head slightly and answered softly.

"I only had time to take a quick glimpse at the time. I didn't look closely enough, so I'm not sure."

After hearing this, Lin Huan's expression became even more desolate, and he slowly said, "He must be sad too... However, as the host of this funeral, everyone can only see my sadness and pain, but they don't know his true feelings. However, as the eldest son of the family and the leader of this funeral, he has to show his strong side to everyone... In fact, it's not easy for him either."

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes firm and full of tenderness, and she looked at the little boy in her arms seriously. Little Lan Ze was still very young, and neither the old hall master nor his father wanted him to be exposed to the true meaning of death too early. Therefore, even as the heir of the Wangsheng Hall, he had to start to learn about the knowledge related to the afterlife since he was a child, but the elders who loved him deeply would subconsciously exclude the most real parts from the knowledge system.

Maybe he would have to wait until he was older and wiser to gradually understand the deep meaning of it? However, at this moment, the little guy did not have much sense of the farewell to the person closest to him. He only knew that he had not seen his beloved grandfather for the whole morning.

He gently pulled his aunt's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Aunt, what are you and Aunt Ganyu talking about? My grandfather... where did he go... why can't I find him?"

The child's innocent words were like a sharp blade, ruthlessly piercing her heart and engraving deeply into her bones, making her feel extremely painful and heartbroken.

Lin Huan stroked Xiao Lanze's hair lovingly, feeling heavy-hearted. He was silent for a long time before he tried hard to keep his voice calm.

"Xiao Lan, listen to me. Grandfather has gone to a very far place and it will take a long time for him to come back. If you miss him, just look up at the stars in the sky. The brightest one is Grandfather. He has been watching over us and protecting us."

Xiao Lanze nodded as if he understood, then pointed to the sky and said, "Then I will look at the stars every night, chat with my grandfather, and tell him my story."

Lin Huan held back his tears, smiled and said to Xiao Lanze: "Okay, Grandfather will definitely be happy to hear your voice."
