"Immortal Physician, what brings you to Lotus Realm today?" the Flower Goddess asked softly as she stepped out.
"Flower Goddess." The Immortal Healer dropped his teasing tone, bowed slightly, and paid his respects to the Flower Goddess.
He laughed and said, "I'm just bored being alone on Flowing Cloud Peak, so I wanted to find a disciple to keep me entertained..."
Who knew he'd run into these two funny little guys, and they pretended not to know him.
"Immortal Physician, you're still the same as ever, with that carefree attitude. If I didn't know you, I would have thought you were an imposter..." the Flower Goddess laughed.
"Haha, Flower Goddess, you are still as graceful and beautiful as ever," the Immortal Physician laughed heartily.
However, it seems rather strange that he is saying these things now, as an old man with a white beard.
When Hua Xingcheng saw the Flower Goddess return, he couldn't help but run forward, throw himself into her arms, and softly call out, "Mother."
The Flower Goddess patted his head, letting him snuggle in her arms. Then she saw Li Su on the other side with his head down, seemingly lost in thought, exuding an aura of sadness. She couldn't help but softly call out, "Su'er, come here too."
Li Su looked up in surprise at the beautiful woman who was smiling gently at him, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He...misses his mother too...
Li Su's mother, who was also the A Yao that Li Yuan mentioned before, has passed away because she could not receive medical treatment.
At that time, Li Yuan also went to the Demon Realm with the Star God. From then on, only the little Li Su remained in the Li Continent Realm, the next Realm Lord.
Fortunately, the Flower Goddess took him to the Lotus Realm of the Gods, where he lived with them for a period of time, which fostered the childhood friendship between Hua Xingcheng and Li Su.
Li Su slowly walked up to the Flower Goddess, feeling somewhat awkward. Looking at Hua Xingcheng in the Flower Goddess's arms, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
Just as he was thinking about something, he was enveloped in a warm embrace.
Then, a slender hand stroked his head, and the voice of the beautiful woman came from above: "Su'er, from now on, this is your home too."
Hua Xingcheng stepped out of the Flower Goddess's embrace and said happily to Li Su, "Brother Su, that's wonderful! We can be together forever now."
Li Su lowered her head and said sullenly, "Okay."
The healer, seemingly feeling ignored, came running over, hopping and skipping. If one ignored his old-man attire and age, one might mistake him for a young man in his early twenties…
"Hey, you two kids, are you interested in becoming my apprentices?" Seemingly reluctant to give up this opportunity to take on apprentices, the Healer asked hurriedly, stopping three steps away from the Flower Goddess.
At this moment, Li Su had already left the Flower Goddess's embrace and was standing beside her with Hua Xingcheng.
Hua Xingcheng subconsciously looked up at the Flower Goddess, seemingly wanting to seek his mother's opinion.
Meanwhile, Li Su spoke up, firmly telling the Immortal Physician, "I want to follow you."
With his father missing and his mother gone, he couldn't possibly spend his entire life in this Lotus Realm.
Although other priests are now helping him manage the Lizhou region, the responsibility for it will still fall on his shoulders in the future...
My mother died because she couldn't get medical treatment...
He wanted to follow the Immortal Healer, not seeking to master the skills, but simply hoping that he wouldn't be helpless in similar situations in the future...
Thinking of this, he stepped forward, bowed to the Immortal Physician, and said, "Please accept me as your disciple, Immortal Physician."
The Immortal Physician stroked his beard and glanced at the Flower Goddess. Seeing that she remained noncommittal but held onto Hua Xingcheng, he knew that she did not want her son to leave her for Liuyun Peak.
Understanding the situation, he slightly raised his hand, gesturing for Li Su to stand up, and said to him, "Alright, then come with me to Liuyun Peak now."
Li Su responded with "Yes," and the two bid farewell to the Flower Goddess, left the Lotus Realm, and headed towards Flowing Cloud Peak.
Hua Xingcheng opened his eyes, which shone like stars, and looked in the direction where Li Su had left. He tugged at the hem of the flower goddess's robe and asked, "Mother, will Brother Su come back?"
The Flower Goddess looked into Hua Xingcheng's eyes, as if trying to see something else through them.
She smiled, and it was unclear whether she was speaking to Hua Xingcheng or someone else, as she murmured:
"He will come back."
