Chapter 229
Qin Su and Ye Yan wandered aimlessly around the small world, and one day they wandered back to the world where Qin Su was a fortune-telling anchor.
A century has passed between their arrival this time and their last visit.
Human life is truly short. Acquaintances and old friends have long since passed away, and even the familiar fairies have returned to the world as their spiritual energy dissipates. There are no longer any people they know in this world.
After paying their respects to Qin Lide, the two had nowhere to go. After discussing it, they decided to take a casual trip from south to north.
When Qin Su passed by a primary school in a rural area, she saw that the school's name was Jianye, which sounded familiar. After asking around, she learned that it was a school built with donations from Fang Jianye.
Fang Jianye was the businessman who once worshipped the Flower Goddess as his godmother. Before his death, he donated one-third of his property to build his hometown. In the province where his hometown is located, there are several buildings named after him.
This primary school is one of them.
Qin Su and Ye Yan also anonymously donated some money.
They also saw a memorial video of Chu Shuangyan on the outdoor screen of the commercial plaza.
The top male star, whose body was almost destroyed by Chu Er, returned to the entertainment industry after recovering. He worked diligently in acting and creating, never married, and dedicated all his time and energy to the career he loved.
When Chu Shuangyan was young, he said his dream was to leave a lasting mark on film and television history and make all his fans proud. In the end, he really did it.
He won every award an actor could receive.
Although he has passed away, the countless classic works he left behind have forever recorded his voice, appearance, and smile, for countless fans to commemorate.
Tang Xuan worked as a policeman his whole life, and no matter how much he did, he kept a low profile. However, I heard that after he retired, he became a well-known warm-hearted person and was always the center of attention when he danced in the square.
Qiao Yijing inherited the Su Yi School and became its leader. After the spiritual energy was cut off, she changed her profession but not her career, becoming a professor of Chinese studies. She was invited to give lectures all over the world and became famous both at home and abroad.
Cheng Yue and Wang Linyan, this young couple whose relationship was brought to fruition with Qin Su's help, both lived quite well in their later years.
Cheng Yue started working in a company, and later started her own small company, while Wang Linyan became a teacher.
They were neither wealthy nor famous, but they had a good relationship, lived a carefree life, and were very happy. They also had a daughter who grew up to be a highly accomplished researcher.
As for Cheng Yue's younger sister, Cheng Xingxing, she spent the first half of her life going to school, graduating, and working in an orderly manner. However, when she turned 30, she suddenly entered a belated rebellious phase and decided to learn to paint.
Her parents and relatives did not support her, but Cheng Yue said, "I'll give you the money, go ahead."
The indifferent girl who constantly pushed her younger sister away in her youth has now become her sister's biggest escape route.
Cheng Xingxing then resolutely resigned and returned to being a student.
She is gentle, romantic, delicate, and sensitive by nature, destined for this profession; the day she completes her studies will be the day she becomes famous.
When Qin Su and Ye Yan were wandering around, they saw her works in prime locations in many bookstores.
Cheng Xingxing's pseudonym is Xingyue, and the portrait she painted most often is "Sister".
Qin Su and Ye Yan went to see one of her art exhibitions, and then went to the Northeast to enjoy the snow and also met Huang Wenli's descendants from afar.
Of course, it was a one-sided meeting between them; the other party didn't recognize them.
—According to generational ranking, this person is Huang Wenli's great-great-grandson. Because Huang Wenli's son-in-law married into the family, this person also has the surname Huang and is named Huang Qi. He is in his thirties this year.
His life has been going badly lately. His wife and daughter are both sick, and he's juggling work and family care, which is causing him to lose a lot of hair.
He was on the phone when Qin Su and Ye Yan met him.
"...It's barely enough to get by. Luckily, the family has saved some money over the years." Huang Qi seemed to have heard something and gave a bitter smile. "Ancestral property? What? I heard that my great-grandfather's family used to be quite wealthy, but they put it all into a trust and didn't leave us anything."
"Yes, you know, it's the one who asked the trust company to help with the ancestral tablet every year... Why? I don't know the specifics, but I vaguely heard that their ancestors had someone who could communicate with immortals..."
He didn't know, but Qin Su and Ye Yan understood.
"So Huang Wenli didn't place her hopes on her descendants. Well, that makes sense. Relying on ancestral instructions and wills is just gambling with the feelings of future generations, which is too risky," Ye Yan remarked.
"She's smart; she knows that self-interest is the most stable and lasting thing," Qin Su smiled.
The two people just glanced at it as they passed by, didn't talk much, and quickly left to have some fun.
They played until after 10 p.m., and Qin Su and Ye Yan were walking slowly down the street hand in hand when suddenly a person appeared at the end of the road.
The man wore a straw hat and yellow clothes, and had a slightly hunched back, making him look like an elderly person at first glance.
Qin Su and Ye Yan exchanged a glance, walked up to him, and stopped.
They already guessed who this person was.
The "old man" took off his straw hat, raised his face, and revealed two round ears and a pair of completely black eyes under the streetlight.
It's a furry, even somewhat cute, animal-like face.
He bowed to Qin Su and said, "Thank you for the idea you gave Huang Wenli back then, which allowed me to survive until now."
Qin Su looked him over and saw that he looked like a person at first glance, but was actually just a weak remnant soul. She couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why did you force yourself to wake up? Didn't Huang Wenli send you into a deep sleep and find a trust company to support you year after year?"
There is no spiritual energy in the world for the Yellow Immortal to cultivate. If he tries to break free from the body he is inhabiting, he will only gradually perish.
Huang Xianping smiled gently: "We all know that we can't wait for another change in the spiritual energy of the world. If I go to sleep, I will only be wasting my merits and prolonging my life."
Qin Su seemed to sense something: "What are you going to do?"
Huang Xian sighed and said, "I am the guardian spirit of the Huang family, so I should take advantage of the remaining merits on my body and use them where they are needed."
Ye Yan: "Huang Qi's wife and daughters?"
Huang Xian didn't speak, but that was tacit agreement.
He put his hat back on, bowed to the two men again, stepped back, and disappeared without a trace.
Two days later, Qin Su and Ye Yan heard that Huang Qi's wife and daughter had recovered from their serious illness at an incredible speed.
A hundred years ago, Huang Wenli spent all her family's wealth to keep Huang Xian alive; a hundred years later, that life has been returned to the Huang family.
As time flows on, the subtle threads of fate, spanning a century, have finally formed a vicious cycle.
...
As Qin Su departed this world, she turned back to gaze upon the magnificent landscape.
A person's life is indeed only a few decades long, and it is true that everything is empty after death, but as long as you have lived earnestly, how can you not leave a trace in this world?
It could be fame, wealth, blood ties, or affection.
In a crowd of thousands, we met by chance. She was just a passerby in time, but it was still a good thing to witness the last moments of their lives.
