Just to prevent Su Mingan from finding him.

He had locked himself up for decades, drinking alone all day, and in his spare time, he would help the Lord of the World to tell fortunes and read ancient books. Except for Tao'er, whom he adopted when he had nothing to do, no one else was allowed to get close to him. The melted ice and snow once again covered his body.

But he didn't know why.

…

"……godfather……"

…

At that moment, the voice responded to his call thousands of times.

…

The whole garden is filled with wind.

The air was filled with aroma of wine, peach blossoms fell on branches, and under the hexagonal white jade pavilion, the immortal looked back in surprise.

Just like the first time I saw it, thousands of gorgeous peach blossoms rustled, like brocade and embroidery.

The moonlight sprinkled and soaked all over my body.

The young man held onto the tree trunk, staring at him blankly. Somehow, he passed through the barrier he had set up and appeared in front of him. A clear and familiar look fell into his eyes.

——Su Mingan finally found him, as if it was destined.

The Lord of the World was the bridge between him and the mortal world. With a promise, he dropped his floating body in the clouds back to the mortal world, from an immortal to a self-bound prisoner. In the past, he did not pursue wealth, comfort, or happiness. He wandered in the pain of the past all day long, never letting himself go for a moment. But at this moment, he felt the tranquility in his heart.

The wind was so strong...it made the flowers, the snow, and the flags sway.

Snow on earth.

Snow fell all over my head.

…

"You've been gone for so long, I almost thought I'd never see you again."

"godfather."

…

Su Mingan was even clearer than Li Mingyue that the person in front of him might just be a reflection in the water. The past could not be retrieved, and the dead could not be brought back. But he had seen Casadia's resurrection, and knew that Luowasha's card drawing mechanism could bring back the old people, so maybe there really was such a "what if".

Although, the most unlikely one is Li Mingyue.

Tao'er came close to the two of them, looking around Su Ming'an. She had lived for fourteen years, and finally met such a strange person - the Lord of the World gave way for him, and the Master allowed him to get close to him, as if all the taboos were invalid in front of him.

The moonlight in early spring is tinged with heat, and the peach blossoms are everywhere, so grand and vigorous.

Then, Tao'er smiled and called out to Su Ming'an:

"You call him godfather? I don't quite understand the meaning of this word, but since it means 'father', then you are also the master's child."

"Well, I should call you..."

"Brother..." The girl thought of it and kept calling out with a smile:

“Brother, brother, brother!”

"Master said that once you become my disciple, you become my relative. I finally have a new relative. Master, you also have a new relative!"

Then she came up to him and held up two fingers:

"Brother, brother, you now have two new relatives!"

...relatives.

Su Mingan opened his eyes wide in surprise, feeling flustered and helpless about this word. He had almost forgotten this word because it had not happened to him for a long time.

He felt a strong... confusion. At the same time, there was a secret touch that he seemed to be longing for.

But Li Mingyue nodded, without changing the word, and said softly:

"Let's go, now that we're back."

"I'll take you to... meet the real Yueyue."
