Wu Gengji, I will become Zi Yu's apprentice at the beginning! ! !

Chapter 345 Warm welcome

He stood aside without saying anything. His stern face softened a little and he nodded slightly. Although the movement was small, it revealed his recognition and joy for everyone's return.

Wang Hun felt the enthusiasm and trust of the crowd, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned back to signal to everyone. That smile was like the warm spring sun, dispelling the haze of the previous battle.

The Angel Saint King's beautiful eyes moved as she exclaimed, "I never thought you had grown so much in just a few short years." There was a hint of surprise and admiration in her eyes that was hard to conceal, as if she was still savoring the hardships and glory they had gone through.

Wang Hun responded modestly, "I'm just lucky." His tone was flat, but it made him more low-key and reserved. This indifference made the Angel Saint King angry and amused. He rolled his eyes at him in reproach and said nothing more.

At this time, Bai Cai was holding a few steaming buns in her hands, and walked towards Wu Geng with a smile, saying, "Agou, I knew you could do it." Her eyes were full of love and pride, and the buns exuded an enticing aroma, as if it was the taste of home.

Wu Geng patted his chest and said proudly, "Of course, honey, who am I, Ah Gou?" Then he unceremoniously picked up a bun and took a big bite. While chewing, he mumbled, "Delicious."

He turned to look at Zi Yu beside him and greeted him enthusiastically: "Uncle Zi Yu, you should eat too, eat quickly." As he said that, he quickly picked up a bun and handed it to Zi Yu.

Zi Yu nodded, reached out to take the bun, took a bite, squinted his eyes slightly, and said after tasting it, "It's delicious."

Those two simple words were filled with a rare sense of ease and joy for Zi Yu during this moment of reunion after the war.

In this peaceful and cheerful atmosphere, Fuxi was all smiles, chatting with Kong Que and other friends, sharing their experiences and insights. His laughter was hearty and cheerful, as if he had left all the troubles of the past behind.

However, the turning point of fate always comes inadvertently. Just as his eyes wandered around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xin Yuekui curled up in the corner.

At that moment, the smile on his face came to an abrupt end as if he had been cast under a spell. He seemed to be trapped in a nightmare from which he could not wake up, and the painful memories of the past flooded into his mind like a tide.

Xin Yuekui noticed Fuxi's gaze, and her heart suddenly tightened. An instinctive desire to escape instantly occupied her body and mind. Her eyes were full of panic and anxiety, and her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. After a short pause, she turned around hurriedly, wanting to quickly escape from this scene that made her feel stressed.

She knew very well that what she had done had caused great harm to her father. Facing Fuxi, her heart was filled with fear and a hint of guilt. She didn't know how to face the gaze that was once so familiar but now so strange.

Kong Que saw all of this, and her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. As a close friend who had accompanied Xin Yuekui from childhood to adulthood and experienced countless hardships together, how could she watch this father and daughter sink deeper and deeper into the abyss of hatred and misunderstanding?

So, she stretched out her hand without hesitation, held Fuxi tightly, and with a hint of determination and expectation in her eyes, she walked quickly towards Xinyuekui.

"Xinyue, look, who's coming." Peacock's voice was clear and loud, echoing in the silent and somewhat depressing space, like a ray of dawn breaking through the darkness, trying to break the suffocating deadlock.

Xin Yuekui's body trembled slightly, and she slowly turned around, her eyes meeting with Fuxi's. In an instant, she keenly sensed the surging divine power in Fuxi, which was as powerful as the vast stars and had increased twenty times.

A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously asked, "Dad, it's you, why did your divine power surge?"

Fuxi's face was as cold as an ice sculpture, his eyes were calm and expressionless, and he responded in a flat and indifferent tone: "There was an adventure on Crystal Mountain."

"I see." Xin Yuekui murmured softly, with a hint of cautious flattery in her voice. She tried to use this method to ease the heavy and suffocating atmosphere. However, that hint of embarrassment still followed her like a shadow, spreading in the air.

Fuxi remained silent, and that silence was like an invisible mountain, pressing everyone so hard that they felt it was hard to breathe.

Seeing this, Peacock hurriedly said, "High Priest, Xinyue has now returned to the right path. She has deeply realized her mistakes. I sincerely hope that you can put aside your past grudges and have a good talk."

Fuxi's eyes were still as cold as ice. He spoke slowly, his voice filled with endless vicissitudes and determination: "It is a good thing that she can return to the right path, but in my heart, I only have Xinyuehu as my daughter, and she has left this world forever."

When Xin Yuekui heard this, the expression on her face instantly became dim, and the loss was like a dark cloud, hanging over her heart.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something, but was blocked by the feeling of something stuck in her throat. However, there was no regret in the depths of her eyes, only a deep sense of helplessness and sadness, as if she was telling a past that could not be rewritten.

Kong Que hurriedly persuaded, "You don't have to be so absolute. Xinyue has completely changed now. She really wants to make up for her mistakes."

Fuxi raised his head slightly, his eyes firm and unquestionable: "I know my limits. Some things cannot be forgiven so easily."

This time, Peacock was choked and speechless. He could only stand aside helplessly, his eyes full of worry and helplessness.

Fuxi paused for a moment, as if trying to calm his inner turmoil, and then said, "I'm going to go up to Crystal Mountain and study it carefully. There are many unknown secrets hidden there, and I must explore them."

After saying this, his figure rose from the ground in an instant like a flash of lightning, and rushed towards the direction of Crystal Mountain, leaving only a blurry light and shadow that gradually dissipated in everyone's sight.

"High Priest..." Peacock looked at the direction where Fuxi left and wanted to try to persuade him a few more words.

"Kong Que, that's not necessary. I was the one who took the initiative to break up with dad. It's normal for him not to forgive me." Xin Yuekui's voice was calm and indifferent, but beneath that calm appearance hid a broken and trembling heart.

She was fully aware of the consequences of her past choices, and knew that it would not be easy to regain her father's forgiveness. However, the desire deep in her heart was like a spark, flickering tenaciously in the darkness.
