Chapter 708: Chapter 708

Shen Siyuan had just arrived at the airport when someone blocked his path.

The person blocking his path was Chang Qingsong, with his parents Chang Dewei and Guan Chunhong following behind him.

Tang Tang, held in Shen Siyuan’s arms, recognized the two and immediately waved at them with a silly smile on her face.

Chang Dewei and his wife hurriedly waved back at her.

Chang Qingsong introduced, "These are my parents. They wanted to thank you personally."

Upon hearing this, Chang Dewei immediately stepped forward to greet Shen Siyuan.

"Immortal Lord, hello, I am Chang Qingsong’s father, Chang Dewei. Thank you for taking care of our Qingsong..."

Chang Dewei was visibly moved, unable to express his gratitude, and momentarily struggled to adapt to calling someone an immortal.

Shen Siyuan waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. Meeting is fate, and since he sacrificed for the country, he deserves this good fortune."

Compared to before, Chang Dewei and his wife looked much better. Previously, there was a subtle melancholy between their brows, giving off a sense of sorrow, but now it was completely gone, leaving them looking revitalized.

"We must thank you. If it weren’t for your great kindness, we wouldn’t have had the chance to see Qingsong again..." Guan Chunhong said as tears fell down her cheeks.

"We don’t know how to thank you properly, so we want to kowtow to you." Chang Dewei, pulling his wife, prepared to kneel before Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan quickly waved his hand, preventing them from kneeling.

"In public, it wouldn’t look good, and I don’t follow such customs. Like you said, it’s a good fate. Meeting your son was his fate, but it is also my good deed, so no thanks are necessary." Shen Siyuan said.

The couple exchanged a glance and decided not to insist.

However, Chang Dewei added, "We prepared some gifts for you and... and for the child."

They glanced at Tang Tang, whom Shen Siyuan was holding.

Shen Siyuan looked past them and saw a large pile of things on the ground.

Both of them worked, and although they weren’t wealthy, they were certainly better off than Su Yong’s family, so what they brought was naturally of better quality.

Seeing Shen Siyuan’s gaze, Chang Dewei quickly turned around and brought the things over, with Chang Qingsong helping on the side.

There were ginseng, bird’s nest, tea, double-sided embroidery, and other items. Who knows how much the two elders spent on these.

"Leave the children’s things, take the rest back." Shen Siyuan said.

The two elders were frugal their entire lives, only allowing themselves one trip to Bin Hai a year. These items probably drained their entire savings, and Shen Siyuan naturally wouldn’t accept them.

As for the children’s items, they were just some small toys, not worth much. Shen Siyuan accepted them as a token of their sentiment.

The couple was about to speak again but was directly interrupted by Shen Siyuan.

"Let’s leave it at that."

If it were an ordinary person, the couple might have insisted, but given Shen Siyuan’s status, they feared offending him and decided not to pursue further.

Seeing them , Shen Siyuan smiled and said, "I understand your intentions, rest assured, your son sacrificed for the country. If he reincarnates, I will certainly choose a good family for him."

The couple hastily thanked him upon hearing this.

They came to see Shen Siyuan today for two reasons: to express gratitude and to hope that their son might be reborn into a good family.

Even though they hadn’t believed in such things before, now that ghost gods had appeared, they couldn’t help but believe.

"Say your final goodbyes to your parents, and come find me later inside." Shen Siyuan instructed Chang Qingsong, who had been standing silently.

Chang Qingsong nodded, looking at his elderly parents with a complex expression.

The two elders knew it was the final farewell, and their expressions turned sorrowful as well.

Shen Siyuan didn’t disturb them, silently leaving with Tang Tang.

Of course, he didn’t forget the large bag of toys they bought for Tang Tang.

When Shen Siyuan entered the airport waiting hall, he saw Dou Dou and Duoduo sitting on chairs like obedient children listening to a lecture, while Xiao Yue stood in front of them with a serious expression.

Seeing Shen Siyuan, the two immediately ran over, looking aggrieved, especially Dou Dou, whose mouth was about to quiver into waves, with tears brimming in her eyes.

"What happened?" Shen Siyuan asked in surprise.

"Sister Xiao Yue won’t let us move, saying if we move around she’ll beat us to death." Dou Dou pointed at Xiao Yue, who was walking over slowly.

Having been with them for so long, Shen Siyuan already understood the nature of children; perhaps they wouldn’t lie, but they would certainly exaggerate things vividly, to the point they might even believe it themselves.

So Shen Siyuan turned his gaze to Xiao Yue to let her explain.

"I didn’t say they couldn’t move, nor did I say I’d beat them to death. I just told them to sit properly and not to cause a scene in the waiting hall. If the staff asks, I won’t know how to explain." Orıginal content can be found at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥

Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan looked at Dou Dou.

Then Shen Siyuan looked at Duoduo.

Duoduo had an innocent expression, as if saying, I didn’t say anything earlier.

Shen Siyuan set Tang Tang down from his arms.

Hearing this, Dou Dou turned and ran, and Tang Tang immediately chased after like a little tail.

These two little ones were quite playful, often fighting over trivial matters yet sticking together like glue, inseparable.

Duoduo waved at Shen Siyuan and also ran off after Dou Dou.

Watching their departing backs, Shen Siyuan said to Xiao Yue, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No worries." Xiao Yue said lightly, though the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but lift slightly.

Shen Siyuan sat down on a lounge chair, and Xiao Yue followed suit.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Shen Siyuan asked Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue nodded gently.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why hold back with me?" Shen Siyuan said.

"This time we came to Henan, aren’t you going to check out the Netherworld?" Xiao Yue asked curiously.

Shen Siyuan shook his head.

"Too much to handle, we haven’t fully mastered Qiongzhou and Yangzhou Netherworlds; let’s not worry about other places. Moreover, this place is the ancient Central Plains, the birthplace of civilization, and a capital of thirteen dynasties. This Netherworld is definitely not comparable to Qiongzhou’s desolate land. In ancient times, Qiongzhou was a barren place of exile, so before I have thoroughly mastered Bin Hai, I won’t risk entering Yu State Netherworld..."

Shen Siyuan didn’t treat Xiao Yue as a child but patiently explained to her.

After understanding the situation, Xiao Yue also appreciated Shen Siyuan’s cautiousness.

Actually, Shen Siyuan did feel an urge to explore Yu State Netherworld but considering all the anomalies at Longmen Grottoes and Shangqing Palace, he forcibly suppressed that impulse.

This region has produced countless illustrious figures throughout history, including many mythical ones, so this Netherworld is certainly unique. Even with his current strength, Shen Siyuan wouldn’t dare to take such a risk lightly.

Perhaps until he completely controls Qiongzhou Netherworld and truly becomes the Qiong Province Governor, he won’t easily venture into Yu State Netherworld.

"I’m going to check on Dou Dou and the others." Xiao Yue stood up.

"Go ahead." Shen Siyuan waved his hand.

He knew inside that Xiao Yue also wanted to explore; after all, she was still just a child.
