Chapter 1887 - Reunion (3)

“Yan Yan… you…… you’re back?”

The afternoon sun was exceptionally bright, falling on top of the woman’s beautiful face and showcasing her emotional smile at the three seniors.

Ren Yi (two) and Qiu Shu Rong (third) stopped their quarreling then and doubly looked up at the woman whom they’ve been talking about.

“Precious Disciple….” Qiu Shu Rong hung his head in shame, “Since you left the Holy Land, we have been studying hard with the texts you left behind. But I such a bumbling idiot, I can’t even raise this one good patch of….”

Ren Yi’s heart also didn’t fare so well and smiled bitterly, “It’s in fact not Old Three’s fault. I accidentally poured some of my elixirs onto his side and caused the herbs to die.”

Before Bai Yan arrived in this world, most people could only forage for such rare ingredients due to the harsh growth requirements of these spirit herbs. Like high spiritual concentration in the air and earth, or specific temperature and moisture. However, Bai Yan had devised a way to bypass most of these conditions and that was the elixir she concocted and written down for these three.

First looking over to the farm field, then back at her three shifus, Bai Yan suddenly found her eyes a little wet: “Have the three of you been keeping these herbs alive all these years?”

“Well yes. Since you’re not around, plus we’re bored, that’s why we would often come over to the island and look after these herbs. We were afraid others wouldn’t know what to do so it’s always us who does the watering.” Zheng Qi the first elder explains.

They are Yan Yan’s precious treasures, of course we need to look after them for her.

Bai Yan didn’t know what else to say.

Don’t assume these three are unreliable because they often screw up during their lessons with her; in fact, they’re well above the norms in this world. Furthermore, the love and care shown was no less than a parent raising a child, that’s the sort of relationship these three have with Bai Yan.

“Grandshifu!” Bai Xiachen quickly ran over and threw himself into Zheng Qi’s arm, his handsome face grinning brilliantly, “Grandshifus, I miss all of you so much…”

The steambun grew up in this Holy Island so it’s expected that the place and people held a special place in his heart.

“I miss you too Xiachen. You must come back more often in the future….”

“Guess what Granshifu Zheng Qi, Mother gave me a little sister! Oh right, there’s also an extra younger brother that accidentally got thrown in.”

Accidentally?

Daresay, in Bai Xiachen’s heart, the little glutton’s existence was no better than an extra.

All three of the elders promptly looked over to their disciple’s location and saw the indicated twins. One was a precious crystal of a girl that had the gifts of her mother, while the baby boy retained the baby fat and cuddliness worthy of being snuggled. It also helped that Jin Tian was chewing his thumb while curiously eyeing the three so it only made him all the more adorable.

“Ling Yan, Jin Tian, come greet your grandshifus.” Bai Xiachen waves at his siblings to step forward.

“Hello Grandshifu.” Ling Yan being the more outspoken of the two spoke first, her eyes clever and bright.

“He-Hello Grandshifu….” Jin Tian followed suit but was timider in his voice due to the unfamiliar grounds.

Moving his hands wildly like he didn’t know where to put them, Zheng Qi (first) found his nerves overwhelmed at the kid’s behavior: “Good, excellent, such good children you have there Yan Yan. Oh what to do! You came back so suddenly that I didn’t prepare a good gift for them.”
