C1540 Reminiscent of the past
Gu Gang looked at Aunt Lu Dan again. The passion he felt from meeting his lover faded, and the old lady in front of him was completely different from the Dan'er in his memories. If she was really Dan'er, would he really be able to accept her?
This time, Gu Gang's faith since he came out of seclusion was shaken.
Gu Gang was originally a child of a large clan. After getting to know Aunt Lu Dan, he wanted to go home and tell her that he had raised her in hopes of getting her permission to marry him.
However, she didn't expect her uncle to ask Gu Gang to marry Aunt Lu Dan only when he had broken through to the Four Desire Stage. After that, Gu Gang began his closed door cultivation. Gu Gang did not know that while he was in closed door cultivation, his uncle had messed with him. He was in closed door cultivation for a year, but sixteen years had passed in the outside world.
"Husband, you're here …"
At this time, Aunt Lu Dan hugged onto Ye Qinghan's arm, and blinked her eyes at Ye Qinghan, begging him not to expose her identity.
Seeing Gu Gang in front of him and the look of disbelief in the eyes of the fish vendor beside him, Ye Qinghan immediately understood what had happened.
"Sorry for disturbing you."
However, this matter was coincidentally like this. This Gu Gang, in front of Ye Qinghan's even more unbelievable eyes, just believed it. After saying this as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, he released the Lu Tong in his hands and turned to leave.
After Gu Gang's figure disappeared from the market, Ye Qinghan and Lu Tong turned to look at Aunt Lu Dan. She even asked Ye Qinghan and her son if they were alright, indicating that she was fine.
"If you want to cry, just cry."
Ye Qinghan looked at Lu Dan, who was trying really hard to hold back her tears, and said. This woman who looked a lot older than Ye Qinghan was actually a child who was younger than Ye Qinghan's eighteen generations of great-grandchildren.
"Wow …"
Lu Dan's mother could no longer hold back her tears as she hugged his son, Lu Tong, and buried his head into Lu Tong's shoulder and sobbed loudly. Lu Dan's mother knew that the man had already recognized his, and knew that Ye Qinghan was not his husband. She also knew that Ye Qinghan was not Lu Tong's father.
Lu Tong stood on the spot, at a loss of what to do. He did not understand why his mother, who was usually strong, would cry worse than a child. He helplessly looked at Ye Qinghan.
Ye Qinghan looked at Lu Tong's pleading eyes and then looked at the end of the market. Considering where Ye Qinghan was, what he saw was an unending flow of people, but Ye Qinghan, who was hiding at the end of the market and looked around the corner and saw Lu Dan, crying even harder than children, closing his eyes in pain. She slowly squatted against the wall and didn't care about the luxurious clothes at all.
"Fortunately, we did not reveal it when we split up. Hopefully, they will be able to recover …"
Ye Qinghan let out a sigh. Aunt Lu Dan's dumbstruck gaze at the fishmonger gradually changed, her white hair once again jet-black, the wrinkles on her face that had crawled up due to her hard work also started to recede. Her skin also recovered to a smooth white color of twenty-eight years old. The bloated waist returned to its faint grip …
Ye Qinghan didn't change anything for Auntie Lu Dan, he had only helped her find her lost youth in order to raise her son.
"Mom, you …"
Lu Tong looked on helplessly as his mother's grey hair turned into a strand of black hair. He happily grabbed onto her shoulders, turning her into a perfect shape, and carefully looked at her mother, who had already recovered back to her childhood appearance.
At that time, the business at the tea stand was very good, but his mother had purposely made him fat on the table. Lu Tong asked his mother why she wanted to do this, but his mother told Lu Tong with a resolute expression that she wanted to be like jade for his father. However, the result of this action was that the business of the cold tea stall plummeted.
In order to live, Aunt Lu Dan had to take on many part-time jobs so that she could raise Lu Tong.
"Gu Gang, where are you? Come back, it's Dan'er … "I am your Dan'er …"
From the reflection of the water jar, Aunt Lu Dan saw that she had changed into her young appearance. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly ran out of the tea stand like a madman, looking everywhere for any trace of Gu Gang.
After searching all the way to the end of the market, Gu Gang walked out from behind the corner of the street. Seeing that Lu Dan had recovered to her original state, the two were speechless, as if there were a thousand things they could not say.
However, this was the first time that they had met someone as handsome and beautiful as the two of them, and it was also the first time that they were unable to part with each other. The crowds at the market all stopped to watch.
"Tong'er, put away the cold tea stall. We're not doing business today."
"Yes, Master Ye."
Lu Tong saw that his mother's transformation and the man in her embrace already understood everything, but he didn't say anything. He didn't ask her any questions, but just silently tidied up the tables and chairs. Even Ye Qinghan couldn't figure out what was going on in Lu Tong's mind, but that was the view of the world that he wanted to see. Aunt Lu Dan was not a cultivator, so the only thing that could match up to Gu Gang was her flower-like appearance.
Looking at the cultivator of the Desire Realm at the side and at Aunt Lu Dan's expression, who looked as beautiful as a flower, he knew what her view of the world was like.
"Thank you, Master Ye."
thanked Ye Qinghan with a serious face after he had cleaned up all the tea stalls.
"Come with me."
Lu Tong thanked him but did not reply. He only returned to his dwelling first, while Lu Tong silently nodded and followed behind Ye Qinghan. Even when he left the market, he did not take a glance at his parents who were embracing passionately.
...
"Brother Night, thank you. You are the savior of our family."
Today was the day Lu Tong would enter the Pure Heart Junior Academy. After watching Lu Tong leave with the examiner, Gu Gang brought Aunt Lu Dan and bowed deeply to show their gratitude.
"It's fine, Lu Tong and I are fated to be together, so there's no need for you to thank me."
Ye Qinghan knew that if it wasn't for Gu Gang being unable to see through his cultivation, he wouldn't have thanked them so politely and seriously. He waved his hand to allow the two people to get up.
"After my son leaves, Dan'er will leave with me. When we see each other again in the future, I will definitely pay you back."
"Have a safe trip."
The days after Gu Gang's death were still long in the future. Even if Aunt Lu Dan had regained his youthful appearance, he was still just one of the relay stations in Gu Gang's long life. However, Ye Qinghan could only help so much, he hoped that Aunt Lu Dan could live a happy life in the future. After all, this woman's previous life was too bitter, too bitter.
Passing by Aunt Lu Dan's cold tea stall, shshefound that it was already a fish stall that sold fishes. The fish shop owner had a complacent expression as she received the compliments of the bystanders, after all, he had acquired Aunt Lu Dan's cold tea stall yesterday and increased the scale of her business.
Seeing Ye Qinghan passing by, the fishman's eyes lit up. He insisted on giving Ye Qinghan a fish to thank him. If Ye Qinghan had not helped Lu Dan and Aunt Lu Dan to arrange a marriage, he would not be able to buy Aunt Lu Dan's cold tea stand. He would have to repay the kindness with a drop of water, and Ye Qinghan could only accept the half-dead fish in his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
...
Greedy Hall.
Receiving the notification, Ye Qinghan arrived at the Greedy Hall on time. There were already examinees waiting here, roughly thirty or so of them being the ones who had come to rush into the Four Desire Valley due to the alcohol and wealth.
The two doors to Testing Room were shut tightly, the two bronze rings hanging motionlessly on the door, and there was already an oily glow at the bend below. It must have been touched frequently by people, which caused the copper paint on the bronze rings to lose their color.
In the long hallway, there were seven or eight chairs that were long enough to accommodate four people. None of them were seated and all of them were standing, hoping to leave a good impression on the examiners.
Not long after, the examiner came and told the group of examinees to wait in peace. He opened the Testing Room and walked in, then closed the door and left without a sound.
"What are the examiners doing? Why haven't they started?"
"Yeah, the time is long up."
"I also said that if it was over, we would celebrate together at noon with our families! Now it seems that even if we pass, we'll have to wait until night before we can celebrate. "
Many examinees were discussing in low voices. One by one, they looked at the tightly shut Testing Room door, their eyes moving erratically. They all wanted to lie down by the door to see what was going on inside.
His cheekbones were high, and his skin was yellow. He looked to be extremely skinny, and Ye Qinghan saw that the examiner was adjusting magic treasures inside his Testing Room, but was not as anxious as the other examinees.
"Hall Master inspection, no clamoring …"
Three people walked over at the end of the corridor. The person in the lead was precisely Ju Zaixin who had once met Ye Qinghan before, followed by two subordinates personally promoted by Ju Zaixin.
"Duo Long, don't be rude. These examinees are all talents from our world of desire. If you pass today's test, you can go to the Four Desire Valley to study. When the time comes, the dragon will ascend to the sky and freely travel through dimension 3000."
Ju Zaixin pretended to scold his subordinate who was called Duo Long, and turned around to face Ye Qinghan and the other exam candidates.
However, Ju Zaixin's intention for coming to Testing Room at this time was very obvious. He was here for Ye Qinghan.
So the information on Ye Qinghan's Greedy Hall Assessment just happened to be in Ju Zaixin's subordinate's hands, and Ju Zaixin's subordinates knew that the young master Ju Chen had enmity with Ye Qinghan, so they immediately contacted Ju Zaixin.
Now, Ju Zaixin knew that he had no hope of advancing to the actual Hall Master, and did not have to worry about his reputation like usual. Knowing that Ye Qinghan would come to the Testing Room today, he immediately rushed over to make things difficult for Ye Qinghan. Even the worst would need to be done to make Ye Qinghan feel disgusted.
After Ju Zaixin greeted the group of examinees one by one with a beaming smile, he ignored Ye Qinghan and made these examinees secretly guess whether or not Ye Qinghan had offended this Hall Master. They subconsciously distanced themselves from him, afraid that they would be misunderstood by this Hall Master Ju Zaixin if they got closer.
