The long street at dawn is deserted.
A carriage galloped...
In the carriage, two children were sitting holding hands.
The two kids were sleeping soundly when someone pulled them out of bed.
Shangguan Qiyou was extremely sleepy, his eyelids drooping, but he was still keeping himself awake. Shangguan Qingyue, who was standing next to him, had already fallen asleep on his shoulder, her pink little mouth slightly open, and her breathing even.
Shangguan Qiyou would support his sister's head with his hand from time to time to prevent her from sliding down.
The sky outside the carriage gradually brightened and became gray. Shangguan Qiyou parted the curtains and took a peek, then slowly closed them. A sense of panic suddenly surged in his heart.
Why is he panicking?
Last night, Daddy didn’t come back, and Uncle Aniu and Uncle Dabing were ordered to look after them. But while they were sleeping, Mommy sent someone to take them into the palace. What happened?
Shangguan Qiyou couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, Shangguan Qingyue frowned and mumbled in his sleep. He leaned over to listen and heard "Daddy..."
Is Yue'er missing her daddy?
Shangguan Qiyou raised his little hand and patted Shangguan Qingyue, comforting her softly, "Yu'er, don't be afraid, Third Brother is here..."
"Daddy! Why are you here?"
Shangguan Qingyue looked at the man with his back to her and recognized him as her father. She raised her hands and ran towards him excitedly, calling out in a baby voice, "Daddy!"
Shangguan Shu slowly came back to his senses and saw her with gentle eyes.
Like usual, he squatted down, opened his arms, and waited to give Shangguan Qingyue a big hug.
Shangguan Qingyue was picked up as he wished, his two little arms wrapped around Shangguan Shu's neck, and his little mouth began to chatter, "Daddy, you haven't told me yet, why are you here?"
"Where is this place?"
"Why didn't you go home last night?"
As he spoke, the little fellow pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and complained, "Daddy, have you been secretly looking for my mother again? You are so unethical. If you continue like this, I will get sick like a hundred taels of gold to show you..."
"Daddy, why don't you say anything?"
“Daddy…”
From beginning to end, Shangguan Shu said nothing, just looked at her gently.
Shangguan Qingyue felt inexplicably nervous when seeing this.
She blinked, and the next second, Shangguan Shu put her on the ground.
"Yue'er, Daddy is leaving..."
"Daddy, where are you going?"
"You must listen to your mother's words..."
Shangguan Shu smiled faintly, and his body gradually became transparent.
Shangguan Qingyue's eyes widened in shock and he screamed, "Daddy, where are you going?! Daddy, don't go!"
Shangguan Shu's figure completely disappeared...
Shangguan Qingyue's eyes were red and she was about to cry, but suddenly she felt a sting in her eyes. She subconsciously raised her hands to cover her eyes. Through the gaps, she saw six more doors in the white void.
Each door was circular, emitting a lustrous golden light, yet this light was shrouded in a layer of black energy, a crisscrossing of yin and yang that evoked a sense of urgency. At first glance, it seemed as if a vortex was hidden within the door, capable of instantly sucking away a person's consciousness.
Shangguan Qingyue took a look and didn't dare to look again, feeling dizzy.
She walked towards one of the doors.
【Did Daddy hide inside? 】
She tried weakly, "Daddy, are you in there?"
"Do you want to play hide-and-seek with Yue'er?"
Shangguan Qingyue stretched out her hand and touched a door. The moment she touched it, she felt a cool breeze.
She looked up and saw the huge round door flickering. Suddenly, it was completely dark...
It became a big black hole, pitch black and so deep that one could not see one's finger.
Shangguan Qingyue held onto the door and stuck half of his head in. "Daddy, are you here?"
Daddy, are you here?
Daddy, you are here...
Daddy, you are...
Daddy...
The echoes continue.
Shangguan Qingyue wrinkled his face, stood up, turned around and left, "Daddy is not here."
The next door also went dark the moment she touched it.
Shangguan Qingyue raised her eyebrows, vaguely feeling that the door turning dark was related to her, but she didn't do it on purpose, she didn't mean it, she just wanted to find her father.
"Daddy, are you here?"
"Daddy, don't hide anymore. Yue'er is tired and wants to go home..."
At the last door, Shangguan Qingyue pouted in annoyance, touched it, and waited for it to turn black, but... it didn't change.
Shangguan Qingyue looked at it in surprise, then leaned into the door. It was the same as outside, white and empty, but at least it was not dark anymore.
Shangguan Qingyue had the courage to go in.
"Daddy?"
"Daddy?"
"Daddy, I saw you!" Shangguan Qingyue suddenly tested.
In the end, no one agreed.
The little guy's mouth curled higher and higher.
As she walked, her vision suddenly became clear.
It’s the broken yard in Yumang Mountain!
She walked in as usual. It was a bright and clear day, and she actually saw herself!
Sitting on the steps with her chin supported, her third brother and Hua Shang surrounded her. She was puzzled when she heard the voices of Heng Lin and Heng Luan. Through the window, every word was clearly transmitted to her ears.
"Brother, do you know that the owner of this yard is my sixth brother?"
"What? Sixth brother is still alive? That's great!"
"What do you mean, brother?"
"Third brother, when our father ordered the five of us brothers to eliminate Junior Sister Hengyue, do you know why the five of us couldn't defeat Hengyue?"
"Why?"
"That's because my sixth brother is missing! The balance of power is so great that we are powerless to resist!"
The room was silent for a while, until Heng Lin spoke again, "The five of us have damaged golden bodies and slain divine roots. Only by finding them can we return to our places. But Sixth Brother is different. He can return to his place after he dies..."
