Translator: 549690339
By the time MO Xiu rushed back to Shun City, it was almost noon.
After returning, MO Xiu first called his mother, Li Yuan. As Li Yuan and the Zheng family were hidden by Yue Long, they had not returned to Shun City.
“Mom! Are you still safe?”
His mother’s voice, which he had not heard for a long time, came from the other end.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Your Uncle Zheng and the others are also safe. They’re rushing back to Shun City now.”
“Where? I’ll go pick you up.”
” There’s no need for that. Yue Long has sent someone to pick me up. I heard that you’ve done a good job, but you have to be careful.’”‘
MO Xiu agreed and hung up.
MO Xiu was relieved that his mother was safe.
Yue Long had done this very well, so MO Xiu didn’t have to worry about anything.
After solving these problems, MO Xiu rushed straight to the Ye residence. He was a little hesitant when he knocked on the door.
He did not know what to say after he entered, nor did he know how to face Ye
Qian ‘er.
In the end, he knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was Ye Qian ‘er. MO Xiu saw that her eyes were slightly red. She must have cried just now.
When Ye Qian ‘er saw that MO Xiu had arrived, she was stunned. Although she did not participate in the battle, she had always been in the Yue Clan and knew that MO Xiu was the one who controlled the entire situation.
Why did he come back to his house at this time? Shouldn’t he have a lot of important things to do?
“Aren’t you going to invite me in?” asked MO Xiu.”
Ye Qian ‘er came back to her senses and quickly made way for MO Xiu to enter the house.
MO Xiu walked into the house and saw Mrs. Ye sitting on the sofa. ‘ Hello, Auntie,” MO Xiu said.” I’m Ye Qian ‘er’s friend. I’m here to take a look.”” “Alright, take a seat. Qian ‘er, go and pour the guest a cup of tea.”
Mrs. Ye’s behavior surprised MO Xiu. She was very strong and didn’t even look sad. There was nothing wrong with her expression or behavior.
As such, Moxiu didn’t know what to say.
Mrs. Ye was straightforward. Seeing MO Xiu’s hesitant expression, she took the initiative to say,”You’re here for Old Ye, right?”
MO Xiu nodded and said, “Yes, I can’t hide it from Auntie. I rescued Uncle Ye from the City Lord’s Estate and arranged for him to be in the north of the city. This time, I came…” Actually, I want to apologize to you and Ye Qian ‘er. I’m responsible for Uncle Ye’s death.” Moxiu stood up and bowed.
“I’m sorry, Auntie.”
He then bowed to Ye Qian ‘er, who had just walked over with a cup of tea.
I’m sorry, Ye Qian ‘er.”
Mrs. Ye watched as MO Xiu did all of this without stopping him.
After MO Xiu stood up straight again, Mrs. Ye said,” Sit down, child.” MO Xiu sat back on the sofa.
Ye Qian ‘er placed the tea on the table hesitantly and sat beside Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye hugged Ye Qian ‘er and said,’”‘You must be MO Xiu? You don’t have to apologize. You made Old Ye do what he should do. When he was in the Yue family, he told me that he would thank you properly when he came back.”
“Auntie, I…”
Before MO Xiu could finish, Mrs. Ye interrupted him.
“Let me finish first. We took your bow just now, but it doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. It’s just to make you feel better. If you don’t apologize, you won’t be at ease, right?”
MO Xiu had been seen through, so he simply admitted it and nodded.
” We’ve made you feel better, so you have to make us feel better too,” Mrs. Ye said.” Accept our worship.’”‘
Mrs. Ye pulled Ye Qian ‘er up and said,””Thank you for saving Old Ye and not letting him do anything wrong!”
The two of them bowed.
“Thank you for saving Shun City and letting Old Ye die without regrets!” He bowed again.
“Thank you. You gave Old Ye the chance to save Shun City and fulfilled his lifelong wish.”
This time, she bowed and did not get up for a long time. Mrs. Ye choked up and Ye Qian ‘er cried out loud.
MO Xiu had originally come to apologize, but things had turned out this way. Mrs. Ye had made it very clear that he could only accept it.
Seeing that the two of them had not woken up for a long time, MO Xiu got up and helped them up. Aunty!
The three of them were well aware that this was mutual consolation. The three of them sat down and slowly adjusted their emotions.
“What are your plans for the future?” asked MO Xiu.”
Mrs. Ye replied,” It’s a normal life. Old Ye used to be busy and didn’t come home often. It’s fine.”
Seeing Mrs. Ye hugging Ye Qian ‘er tightly, MO Xiu thought of his own mother.
“Auntie, what do you think? I’ll acknowledge Qian ‘er as my godsister. How about you move into my house and live with my mother?”
MO Xiu didn’t mean anything else by saying this. He just felt that Mrs. Ye had a good personality and would probably get along well with his mother. The mother and daughter had no one to rely on in the future, so they could take care of each other.
Mrs. Ye was stunned.
“I’m sorry, Auntie. I was rude! ‘”‘
Mrs. Ye smiled and patted MO Xiu’s hand.””Good! Good!”
At noon.
Almost all the residents of Shun City went out in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion.
MO Xiu and the mother and daughter of the Ye family were the same. They had arrived at the original City Lord’s Estate early.
The entire place was now filled up, and the square of tens of thousands of square meters seemed a little empty.
A huge black stone tablet was erected in the middle. There was almost no decoration on the stone tablet.
It was simple yet magnificent, like a hero standing there, with eight golden characters written on the front.
It was exactly what MO Xiu had said yesterday. “The hero is dead, but the hero doesn’t die!”
The hero had died, but the hero would never die.
A name was carved on the back of the stone tablet.
Below it were a few lines of small words, engraved with the names of all the Shun City Army soldiers and Yue Clan soldiers who had died in this battle.
Looking at this stone tablet, everyone present was in awe. Everyone who could carve their names on it was a hero who saved Shun City.
Next was the burial ceremony.
Qiu Qiming and Ye Qingfeng were buried on both sides of the stone tablet.
“Let’s go in and send her off personally!” MO Xiu asked Mrs. Ye.”
Mrs. Ye covered her face and sobbed. She whispered, “No need. Qian ‘er and I came to see her last night. We’ve already sent her off.”
“This is the most glorious moment of Old Ye’s life. I can’t let this moment be mixed with personal feelings. Let his comrades send him away.”
MO Xiu’s emotions were very complicated at the moment. He could understand Mrs. Ye’s feelings.
However, at the same time, he felt that it was a pity. No matter what, he should send her off on this last journey!
At night.
Li Yuan and the Zheng family returned.
MO Xiu brought the mother and daughter of the Ye family home.
Mrs. Ye and Li Yuan hit it off at first sight. Although the two of them had lived in different environments for a long time, Mrs. Ye was not rich, but she did not have to worry about anything. Li Yuan, on the other hand, worked everywhere to make a living.
However, the two of them had one thing in common. They both raised their children alone.
MO Xiu and Ye Qian ‘er could not understand the topic of their conversation, so they simply sat at the side.
The appearance of MO Xiu and Li Yuan quickly diluted the grief of the mother and daughter of the Ye family.
Ye Qian ‘er said,”Mo Xiu… Brother?”
MO Xiu smiled and said,”Hey! Yes!”
“I never thought that I would become your little sister one day. Ever since I was young, my father was not by my side. I have always longed to have a brother who dotes on me. When you saved me from the Demon Falcon for the first time, I felt the warmth of being protected.”
“Yes, I’ll continue to protect you in the future!””
