Chapter 52 Destiny
The Lu family had long been prepared for Kong's death.
Once Kong closed his eyes, they began to prepare for his funeral in an orderly manner. The funeral was arranged to be extremely simple according to Kong's request, and it ended without disturbing too many people.
Finally, as Kong requested, he was buried beside his favorite lotus pond...
Throughout the entire process, Liao Wu did not leave, and spent the whole time chanting sutras and praying for Kong until the seven-day ritual was completed before getting up and leaving the Lu family.
Before leaving, the Lu family returned the empty jade ring to Wu.
However, Liao Wu did not accept it, only saying that he had another destiny with the Lu family, and that the jade ring would be given to the Lu family. After saying that, he never appeared again...
Thus, the Lu family was deeply moved by the couple's love and took the jade ring as a symbol of their deep affection, passing it down from generation to generation to the next generation of daughters-in-law.
This is also to remind future generations not to separate truly loving lovers because of the other person's family background or any other conditions, thus avoiding further tragedy...
And so, the jade ring was passed down to Lu Yi, who then gave it to Ye Ran…
Ye Ran listened to the whole story in a daze; she had also heard the story of Master Wu before.
At the time, he claimed to have a connection with the Bai family and gave them the jade pendant. Then he said he had a connection with the Lu family and gave them the jade ring.
Could it be that Master Liaowu foresaw the future countless years ago? Did he know she would meet Lu Yi?
This is simply unbelievable... Could it be that... her meeting with Lu Yi was preordained by fate?
Looking at Ye Ran who was in a daze, Lu Yi was a little worried. What was wrong with Ranran? Why did she seem to be acting strangely ever since she saw the jade ring?
Lu Yi gently stroked Ye Ran's forehead with some concern. "Ranran, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this jade ring?"
Ye Ran said nothing, reached into her clothes and took out the jade pendant. The moment Lu Yi saw it clearly, he stared wide-eyed in disbelief!
There's no particular reason; anyone who sees this jade ring and pendant will immediately understand that they are a pair!
Ye Ran had carefully examined the jade pendant before; it was a teardrop-shaped piece of mutton fat jade.
The painting depicts a lifelike lotus pond, with every flower and blade of grass appearing as if they were real!
The gap in the very center of this jade ring is an irregular circle shaped like a teardrop, and you can clearly see the edges of lotus flowers and leaves on the surface.
Lu Yi exclaimed in shock, "What... what's going on? Ranran..."
Ye Ran repeated her family's story to Lu Yi, and Lu Yi was stunned for a while after listening.
After Lu Yi had calmed down for a while, he spoke somewhat cautiously.
"It seems that the Master Liaowu in our two stories is the same person. He left the jade ring to the Lu family and then left the jade pendant to the Bai family..."
Ye Ran slowly nodded. It seemed that this was indeed the case; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why stories and things passed down for countless generations could match so perfectly...
Also, both stories mention the temple next to the lotus pond...
Lu Yi's expression was somewhat solemn. "Could it be... that there really are such miraculous things in this world? That people from so many years ago were already able to foresee future events?"
Ye Ran was still shocked by this point, but having experienced such an incredible thing as rebirth herself, she could slowly digest even the most outrageous things...
She spoke with some difficulty, "It should be so. Master Liaowu is indeed a highly accomplished monk..."
Lu Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "So, Ranran, we're destined to be together..."
