C457 Preparations before leaving

"Yes." Shang Huaiyue replied. After a long period of silence, she took out two little wood box s from the cupboard and handed them over to Shang Zhiqing.

He explained: "You and your sister each have one wood box. I wanted to give it to you a long time ago, but I never had the chance to give it to you. Since we're leaving tomorrow, why don't we take it with us? "

This was the Longevity Lock. When Ji Cangming found out that she was pregnant, he specially ordered someone to create this lock. On one side, there were carvings of the Ji Family, and on the other, there were carvings of the Shang Clan.

It was just that at that time, facing the overbearing Shang Clan, she had no choice but to leave Ji Cangming, and sought Zhangsun Linglong's help.

She probably wouldn't be able to repay this kindness in her entire life.

Originally, she wanted to take the longevity lock away for the two children, but who would have thought that such a terrible situation would occur on the day of delivery. She could only leave the Xie Clan with Shang Zhiqing and the longevity lock.

He returned to the merchant house and asked for the assistance of the Elders Guild.

He had been gone for more than ten years.

In all these years, she had never stopped missing Ji Cangming, but she had never been able to leave the valley. Even at the end of every year, Ji Cangming would always bring presents to visit the Shang clan, and she had never stepped out to see Ji Cangming.

Lowering his eyes, without hesitation, he handed the wood box over to Shang Zhiqing. His resolute appearance made him look as if he wanted to cut everything in sight.

When Shang Zhiqing chased Shang Zhiqing out of the room, he was still in a daze. When she regained her senses, she found that she was already outside the door, with the two wood box in her hands occupying a large part of her vision.

Sighing faintly, he said to Shang Huaiyue who was inside the room: "Mother, all these years, Father has missed you a lot. Are you really not going to consider it and meet Father?"

After he finished speaking, Shang Zhiqing did not bother about the silence of the people inside and left Shang Huaiyue's courtyard.

All these years, the Shang clan had always kept Shang Huaiyue trapped, but who could say that they did not feel guilty?

In order to not implicate Ji Cangming, she had not told him his identity until Shang Zhiqing's fate, which was to tell him everything.

Ji Cangming had almost destroyed all of his personal guards, which was how he obtained the metazoan flower and saved Shang Zhiqing. But she, he took Shang Zhiqing and left Ji Cangming's place.

They didn't even tell Ji Cangming that they had a daughter.

Other than the members of the Elders Guild, no one else in the Shang family knew about it.

In order to save Shang Zhiqing, she had no choice but to tell him about the relationship between her and Ji Cangming, and did not even conceal a single thing regarding Xie Qingrong's whereabouts. Fortunately, over the past few years, the Shang Clan had never sent anyone to disturb Xie Qingrong, allowing her to grow up carefree.

But Shang Huaiyue would never know that her daughter, Xie Qingrong, had already died when she fell into the lotus pond. The current Xie Qingrong was only a lonely soul of another world.

Early in the morning on the second day, Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong, Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing were standing in front of the Shang Clan's main entrance.

In front of the great protective formation, the Great Elder was leaning on a walking stick as he walked step by step towards Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong.

He continued gently, "You are now the crown prince, and perhaps in the future, you will be able to ascend to the highest position. I just hope that you can treat our Shang family's Holy Maiden well. "Don't disappoint her because she treats you with such kindness."

Xuanyuan Chen was clearer than anyone else about just how much Xie Qingrong had spent to reach the position of Holy Maiden. At that time, Xie Qingrong was lying in her arms coldly, his vital signs at their lowest. He could not even hear her heartbeat and her breathing.

At that time, he had told himself that no one could separate them.

Whatever Xie Qingrong had done for him, she would probably never be able to repay it in his entire life. She could only use the rest of his life to take care of her, care for her, and care for her.

Xie Qingrong looked at the kind and kind Great Clan Elder, and seemed to have never expected that the Great Clan Elder would actually say such a thing to them.

However, after some thought, he felt relieved.

The Great Elder was an old man who was about to bury him. Even if he said something insignificant, so what?

After placing Xie Qingrong's hand back in Xuanyuan Chen's own, she then curled her lips in satisfaction and walked over to Shang Zhiqing and Shen Haoxuan.

Shang Zhiqing was a disciple that he personally taught her. All the qualities of her body and her personality were influenced by him, but she treated her feelings very carefully.

This girl that he had grown up in, finally had a girl that he liked.

This sort of feeling was as if his own daughter had been snatched away by someone. However, the man before him was enough to make him feel at ease.

After all, nothing was as blissful as Shang Zhiqing's.

"Love. From today onwards, you will walk out of this place. I hope you will never come back here again." The Great Clan Elder's eyes were red as he whispered to himself. When Shang Zhiqing said this, his eyes reddened and he could not help but want to cry.

Since young, the elder she respected the most was not her mother Shang Huaiyue nor her father Ji Cangming, but this eighty year old Great Elder.

Seeing him trembling, yet not forgetting to constantly remind himself of this, the tears in his eyes finally started to uncontrollably drip down.

"Grand Elder, I will take good care of myself. You have to take good care of yourself as well." As she spoke, she whispered a few words into the Second Martial Brother's ear, informing him of some things he should pay attention to. The Second Martial Brother then nodded and agreed.

In fact, the Great Clan Elder still had a lot of things that he wanted to say to Shang Zhiqing, but he did not know where to start from.

This young man had an unstoppable momentum, but it was all covered up by carelessness. If it wasn't for his torch-like eyes, he would probably have been fooled by this young man as well.

To hand over his favorite disciple to this person, he felt very much at ease.

He had lived his entire life, how could he not see that this young man seemed to be indifferent and unconcerned, but the way he looked at his first disciple was very soft.

It was like a spring breeze and drizzling rain, mixed with endless gentleness.

"Young Master Shen, take good care of this relationship. If she doesn't understand anything, please take care of his." The Head Elder instructed solemnly.

Shen Haoxuan did not have any expression of impatience as he nodded his head repeatedly, agreeing to the Great Clan Elder's request.

He turned his head and looked at Shang Zhiqing gently.

For Shang Zhiqing to have such courage to follow a person like him who had nothing left, how could she let down the heart of a pure fist?

The hand under his sleeve was extremely tight with Shang Zhiqing's fingers, and her ten fingers were tightly clenched.

They looked at each other and smiled. Everything was within words.
