The ten-year period has expired.
Early in the morning, just as the sun rises, the birds in the forest begin to sing, as if they are also expecting something.
Not only the Du family, but also Niu Bo and the staff here woke up early, their hearts full of anticipation.
Because today is the ten-year appointment with Su Muxi, and according to the agreement, she will come back today. This is undoubtedly an exciting moment.
They have been waiting for this day for ten years.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, creating patches of mottled light and shadow.
The Du family and Niu Bo walked into the cave together, staring at the formation, silently praying in their hearts that everything would go well.
However, as time went by, the formation remained unchanged.
Everyone's mood gradually became anxious.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye it was already noon, but the formation still did not change.
Du Wan paced back and forth, looking at the formation from time to time, frowning, her face full of worry.
She couldn't help but hold Su Aiguo's hand and asked softly, "Aiguo, it's already noon, why hasn't Mu Xi shown up yet? Did something happen?"
Su Aiguo's face was solemn, and he tried to remain calm.
He gently patted Du Wan's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, Mu Xi is a smart and brave child, nothing will happen to her."
"Besides, Mom and Dad are with us, so there will definitely be no problems."
"Besides, we said we'd be back today. That still leaves half a day. Don't worry, let's wait and see."
Although he said this, he began to feel a little worried.
After all, ten years have passed. Who knows if any accidents might happen in the meantime?
Niu Bo carefully examined the formation, not missing any details, trying to find any possible abnormalities.
The formation master on the side was also concentrating on the formation, checking whether there were any signs of tampering with it.
After a careful inspection, the formation master said with certainty: "Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, there is nothing abnormal with the formation at the moment. I believe Su Muxi should be back soon."
Du Wan clenched her hands anxiously, frowning, "But we've been waiting for ten years."
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was suppressing the uneasiness and anxiety deep in her heart.
"For the past ten years, we have imagined her return every day."
Du Wan continued, her eyes revealing a deep longing, "We wonder what she will look like, whether she has become prettier, taller, or stronger..."
“What should we do if she doesn’t come back today?”
Su Aiguo gently held Du Wan's hand and comforted her: "Xiao Wan, I know you are worried, but we need to trust Mu Xi."
His tone was firm but gentle. "She promised us that she would come back today. I believe she will not break her promise."
"Let's wait patiently. Maybe she's already over there, preparing to come back."
Su Aiguo continued, trying to give Du Wan some comfort and confidence.
Du Wan sighed, tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Aiguo, I know you are right."
Her voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she still couldn't completely eliminate the worry in her heart. "I just... I just miss her too much."
Su Aiguo looked at Du Wan distressedly, held her in his arms, and gently stroked her hair, "I understand, Xiaowan."
"We are all the same, but I believe our wait will not be in vain."
"Xiao Xi will definitely come back safely."
Su Mujing also came over at this time, patted Du Wan's shoulder gently, and comforted her, "Yes, Mom, we will all be here, waiting for my little sister's return together."
"We have been waiting for ten years. What's the harm in waiting one more day?"
"My little sister will definitely come back safely."
Su Muli then said: "Yes, no matter what happens, we will not give up."
Du Wan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, forced a smile, and nodded. "Well, I'm overthinking it. Let's wait a little longer. I believe Xiaoxi will give us a surprise."
Several people turned their gazes to the formation again, their hearts filled with anticipation and anxiety.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every second seemed unusually long.
But they knew that no matter how long they had to wait, as long as Su Muxi could return safely, all the waiting would be worth it.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the jungle, dyeing the whole world with a golden color.
However, this beautiful scenery did not make everyone's mood lighter, but made it even heavier.
As night fell, the atmosphere became more depressing.
Although they were mentally prepared, every minute and every second of waiting was like torture.
They began to doubt whether Su Muxi could really come back, and their hearts were filled with anxiety and fear.
They didn't know what would happen next and could only pray silently, hoping that everything would go smoothly.
Just when everyone was about to give up hope, suddenly, a faint light appeared from the center of the formation.
Although this light was weak, it was like a beacon in the darkness, instantly igniting the fire of hope deep in everyone's heart.
Du Wan and Su Aiguo held each other's hands tightly, staring at the formation without blinking.
Niu Bo was nervously on guard, just in case the person coming out was not Su Muxi.
The light gradually became brighter, and the entire cave was shrouded in a mysterious blue halo.
In the halo, a figure can be vaguely seen gradually emerging.
Everyone widened their eyes, waiting for the final result with great anticipation.
