An Chengqi’s words made Sister Sun feel invigorated all over.
If everything was predestined by fate, then there must be a reason why heaven let Lin Wan’er remain in place for so many years at the age of seventeen or eighteen. It was very much like waiting in the same spot for the right person to appear.
And the fact that Lin Wan’er had not taken the next step in her life despite the passing of several hundred years showed that even she herself had been unconsciously waiting for that person.
So, with some excitement, she said, “Madam, after you put it that way, I suddenly feel especially looking forward to it. Senior Lin truly is a unique and extraordinary woman in this world. If the young master can join hands with her in future, they would be just like the divine couples depicted in wuxia novels. No, wait, even wuxia novels have never featured a pair as miraculous as these two. They are absolutely a match made in heaven!”
An Chengqi looked up at the dazzling sunrise in the east and said wistfully, “The one she is waiting for is someone who can grow old slowly together with her, or someone who can continue to live forever with her. If Chen’er’s cultivation cannot achieve a greater breakthrough, then he will be the one to grow old with Lin Wan’er. But if Chen’er’s cultivation makes a major leap, or even if he finds the way to refine the Evergreen Pill and the Hundred Revolutions Thousand Returns Pill, Lin Wan’er could still accompany Chen’er for another six hundred years. No matter how you look at it, he and Lin Wan’er are a match made in heaven.”
Sister Sun asked cautiously, “Madam, didn’t you used to like Miss Ito very much? She has now achieved enlightenment too, so perhaps she also has a chance to walk the path of immortality with the young master.”
An Chengqi smiled and said, “To be honest, I really like Cai Cai Zi, and Nan Nan is also very dear to my heart.”
Sister Sun could not help but be speechless for a moment, then smiled and said, “These girls really are one in ten thousand. In my view, each one is outstanding in her own way. It is truly hard to choose.”
An Chengqi gave a self-mocking laugh and said, “If we keep talking like this, I will turn into one of those wicked mothers-in-law from feudal times. Never mind. Let Chen’er decide his own life for himself.”
As she spoke, she could not help letting out a soft sigh and murmuring, “It’s just that Lin Wan’er must have had such a hard time all these years, unlike the other girls who mostly grew up with every comfort. That’s why I feel a little more partial towards her in my heart.”
Sister Sun kept nodding vigorously. She actually understood An Chengqi’s feelings very well and even shared them.
Lin Wan’er’s life could be described as magnificent and eventful, or as arduous and extraordinary. It made one both admire and pity her.
…
At that moment, Ye Chen on the plane had no idea that his mother was busy playing matchmaker for him.
After the royal staff had served meals to the group in the cabin and withdrawn to the crew rest area, he gazed at the sunrise outside the window and made a firm resolution in his heart: “Chu Ran, no matter where you are right now, please wait for me there. Once I have cleared away all the dangers, I will definitely come personally to bring you back and tell you everything…”
Beside him, Lin Wan’er was quietly reading an ancient book. On his other side, Yun Ruge and Song Ruyu were both silently looking out of the window, just like Ye Chen.
Their hearts were rather complicated. Leaving Jinling, leaving China, felt to them like stepping into an unknown black hole. They had no idea where their fate would lead next.
Yet both knew in their hearts that if the worst were to happen, they might never have the chance to return to Jinling again.
Today might well be their final farewell to Jinling.
After ten hours of flight, the plane landed in Osu City, the capital of Northern Europe, at ten o’clock in the morning local time.
Helena had already arrived earlier at the royal family’s polar holiday villa.
She had set off ahead not only with a large amount of daily necessities but also with the royal cleaning and maintenance team, wanting to get the house into perfect condition before Ye Chen arrived, then withdraw all the staff so as not to disturb him.
