But when Li Heng saw his mother holding the sleeping Xiao Xi in her hands, his heart still ached.
The scene is very harmonious, clearly showing the deep affection between a mother and daughter.
Even though the mother couldn't remember her biological daughter, she still had to stand before the palace to testify for her daughter, showing her loving and protective nature.
Besides, it was Xiaoxi who saved him at the crucial moment.
No, she should be called Princess Xi now.
Logically speaking, shouldn't Princess Xi have wanted him to die on the spot so that she could take her mother away without any obstacles?
Princess Kexi was still kind-hearted; he had seen the urgency and earnestness with which she saved him.
At that moment, he thought, how wonderful it would be if she were his sister.
So his mother is still his mother, and he has a younger sister he can dote on—how perfect!
Unfortunately, he didn't live long, and it was all just wishful thinking.
"Mother, you should go with Xingjun and the others!"
Li Heng made the most difficult decision.
“Aheng…”
Mrs. Shangyi looked at her son, then at the little girl in her arms who had just called her "Mom," and suddenly burst into tears, bewildered and unaware of what was happening.
Everyone felt melancholy, and they were once again faced with an indecisive situation.
"Eh? No, no, Lady Shangyi cannot be returned!"
Everyone was puzzled.
The old master was getting on in years; he almost fell asleep halfway through his sentence.
Everyone was waiting for him to finish speaking.
He opened his eyes after a while.
"Lady Shangyi's soul is damaged now, and her memories cannot be recovered. She can barely be kept in the underworld, but once she returns to the mortal world, she will be like a cripple and will not live long."
Ye Xingxian thought that even if her mother couldn't go home with them, she would still have Li Heng by her side. But if Li Heng died in the future, her mother would still be depressed.
Xiaoxi would be sad back then too.
"Old Celestial Master, is it possible that Li Heng's illness cannot be cured either?"
"Everyone knows that the young prince was born with a deficiency and his soul is incomplete. It is already difficult for him to live to this day. In the end, he will not live to be fifteen years old."
If I hadn't helped him use the Bluebird as a vessel back then, he wouldn't be alive today.
Ao Tianxing, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.
"This won't work, that won't work, what's going on here?"
He originally came along as a bystander, but the gossip turned out to be too bitter, and he still faces the prospect of separation from his child.
The old master was so frightened by this that he shuddered, but suddenly his mind cleared up.
"There is now a way to have the best of both worlds, but only by finding the Black Orchid Grass in the Dark Secret Realm can their illnesses be cured."
Why didn't you say so sooner?
Everyone shouted.
King Chujiang spoke up, "The underworld has such a secret realm? How come I didn't know about it?"
The old celestial master said, "Your Majesty, of course you don't know that the secret realm is beyond the jurisdiction of the underworld; it is an illusory existence."
The secret realm opens once every ten years, and only cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above can enter.
A cultivator at the Golden Core stage went in and barely escaped with his life before finally obtaining the Ink Orchid Grass.
Ao Tianxing said disappointedly, "Old Master, this is too difficult. You're just saying nothing at all."
The old celestial master glanced at Ao Tianxing and said, "Little earth god, you're too impetuous. Everything in the world is just a matter of chance."
Then the old Celestial Master, his body hunched over, paced back and forth in the Imperial Study.
He paused for a moment at Madam Shangyi, glanced at Xiaoxi in her hand, gave a mysterious smile, and then instantly returned to normal.
