Old Yuan's voice gradually faded.
Upon learning the truth, Yu Mingxiang was already sobbing uncontrollably in Gu Guanhai's arms.
I see!
So that's how it is!
She always thought her rebirth was an accident, a stroke of luck, but she never expected...
It was actually Old Yuan who paid for it with his life!
No wonder...
No wonder Lao Yuan said he died once...
No wonder Lao Yuan said she owed him a life...
...
The seemingly plausible but ultimately meaningless statements made by Lao Yuan have now been explained.
Yu Mingxiang finally learned the reason for her rebirth.
However, Old Yuan closed his eyes forever before them.
Having spent half a lifetime together, we are already as close as family.
At Lao Yuan's funeral, Yu Mingxiang and Gu Guanhai were overcome with grief.
However, as Lao Yuan's daughter, Yuan Chengxi showed no sadness or joy on her face.
"The cycle of birth and death is nothing more than this."
She looked at Yu Mingxiang with deep eyes and said, "As someone who experienced it firsthand, Mother should be more open-minded than others. Why are you still so attached to it?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
He stared at his daughter-in-law in shock.
She had always known that her youngest daughter-in-law had inherited the Yuan family's legacy and possessed extraordinary abilities, but...
Her words still had a significant impact on her.
She has experienced the cycle of life and death; how could her daughter-in-law know?
Also, what's with her detached tone?
Could it be...?
Thinking about her daughter-in-law's drastically changed personality before and after her ordeal, Yu Mingxiang had a bold guess in her heart.
She looked at her daughter-in-law with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
"Xixi, you...you..."
Is the person in front of me really her daughter-in-law living inside her body?
These words stuck in Yu Mingxiang's throat for a long time, and she didn't dare to ask them.
However, as if knowing what she was thinking, Yuan Chengxi smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I am Yuan Chengxi, and I am not Yuan Chengxi."
Yu Mingxiang: "?!!"
The pupils trembled violently.
“The Yuan family cultivates the Great Evolution Heavenly Dao. When I was fifteen, I had already received the true teachings of my father from two generations. My mother wondered why my father announced his retirement after I returned from my training?”
Yuan Chengxi looked at Yu Mingxiang with a smile and said, "Because at that time, I had already achieved great success."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
Speechless.
Great Achievement?
What does "大成" mean?
She was not a member of the Xuanmen sect and did not understand its deeper meaning, but...
That sounds amazing!
Yu Mingxiang: ...
He subconsciously turned his head to look at his grandson and great-grandson...
Um!
These children all share the compound surname Yuan Yu Gu!
Good!
Yuan was in front, not behind!
Otherwise, she really would have to do it all over again and slap herself twice for agonizing over her youngest son's marriage back then!
Yuan Chengxi's witty remark helped to ease the sadness of Yu Mingxiang and Gu Guanhai.
Is this not the cycle of birth and death?
in this way……
That's fine.
After that.
The two witnessed many more separations and deaths together, but they never felt such sorrow again.
Perhaps it's because I'm getting old.
Perhaps it's because we have each other's company.
Or perhaps, it's because they've truly come to terms with it and let it go.
up……
Gu Guanhai closed his eyes in Yu Mingxiang's arms.
After the New Year.
Yu Mingxiang followed with a smile.
In Heroes Square in Beijing, a new statue of two people standing in an embrace has been erected.
A monument to his life.
The names of Yu Mingxiang and Gu Guanhai are engraved on it.
People came in an endless stream to pay their respects and take photos.
only……
There were many more couples than Yu Mingxiang remembered.
The wind carries the fragrance of flowers.
The breeze brushed past their intertwined figures.
Happiness lasts forever.
