Durandal pondered for a while, but ultimately came up with no solution. Since she couldn't win, and there was no reason to fight now, she was left with only one thought:

'Maybe I should have brought Rita along; she's much better at chatting than I am.'

Meanwhile, in front of the tombstone, the gray-haired youth and the blonde girl sat on the ground, the atmosphere somewhat somber.

"I'm pretty sure that Bronya and Mei were in extreme pain at that time."

"But, it's so strange."

"I'm clearly just seeking revenge, aren't I?"

Why did I rush away when I saw them lying on the ground?

"Shouldn't revenge be something that's satisfying and leaves you feeling relaxed afterward?"

Anqi hugged her knees, stared at the stone tablet, and asked her parents in a sullen mood.

The people who used to listen to her complaints can only listen now; they can no longer respond to her.

Anqi should resent those two people, otherwise she would be letting down her parents who lost their lives.

However, at the same time, Anqi is the type who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

"Well--"

After a long sigh, Anqi asked with reddened eyes:

"If I said that I feel like I can't bring myself to hate anymore, that this is all I can do, would you be angry?"

"Probably, after all, they're the ones who killed you."

Anqi asked and answered herself, and her already conflicted feelings became even more distressed.

"But they'll forgive us, won't they?"

Su Anqi said this.

This statement was unanimously approved by all the Anqi.

The wind blew through the quiet park, carrying fallen leaves, and one of them coincidentally landed on Anqi's shoulder.

Like, they gently patted Anqi on the shoulder and gave her the answer with a smile.

"It's so quiet, there's not a single person here."

Fu Hua walked along the overgrown road, muttering to himself, and suddenly hesitated to go any further.

Even though she could clearly sense Anqi's presence, as the distance closed, Fu Hua couldn't help but recall Anqi's eyes, reddened with resentment. What if her disciple truly couldn't turn back?

But shrinking back is not Fu Hua's style, at least not this time.

"Lixue, Master will never let the same thing happen again. If you have a spirit in heaven, please bless your junior sister; she, like you, is my best disciple. I beg you!"

As the body and mind heal, some lost memories gradually return.

Fu Hua recalled the child who had spent his entire life searching for her, feeling nostalgia, regret, and prayer, before finally taking a firm step forward and quickening her pace.

Deep inside the park, in a scenic spot nestled against the mountains and beside the water, Fu Hua saw the girl sitting with her knees drawn up, facing the tombstone.

She stood still like a statue, her long, flowing golden hair extending onto the grass, almost completely obscuring her petite and delicate figure, revealing a heartbreaking fragility.

"Anqi ..."

Fu Hua took a deep breath and started walking over.

Fu Hua came to Anqi's side and slowly squatted down.

At this moment, Anqi also turned her head and looked at Fu Hua with her bloodshot eyes.

"Master, I'm so scared, what should I do?"

"Don't be afraid, it's all over now. Everyone's alright, let's go back and talk about it, okay?"

Fu Hua wasn't entirely sure about Bronya, Raiden Mei, and Cocolia's situation, but at this moment, even someone as emotionally unintelligent as her had to resort to comforting techniques.

"Master, I can't go back."

"Don't talk nonsense, everyone is waiting for you. Even if you don't go back to St. Freya, it's okay. We can go back to Great Void Mountain. Uncle Xiaoxuan Xuan and Uncle Ji Lin have prepared to celebrate your birthday."

Fu Hua forced a smile, attempting to reassure her disciple.

Because she saw that the bloodshot color in Anqi's eyes was getting more and more intense, and her body was trembling.

It sounds easy to Herrscher with a human heart, but it's not that simple. Even with the blessing left by Elysia in this era, Sirin back then, and those Quasi-Herrscher Sirin created, were all stubborn and single-mindedly wanted to destroy humanity!

This hurdle is very difficult, and Anqi is so young that it's understandable that she might not be able to overcome it.

How could Fu Hua accept this outcome?

As Feather of Dust's feather appeared in her palm, Fu Hua made a decision: if Anqi really couldn't control herself, she would seal her consciousness temporarily and bring her safely back to Great Void Mountain to find a way to help her.

Just as Anqi gritted her teeth, letting out a suppressed growl, and was about to lose control, a fresh and gentle breeze blew by.

"Master..."

Anqi's expression of resistance and struggle suddenly calmed down, and then she fell into Fu Hua's arms with a lingering murmur.

Fu Hua looked up and met a pair of warm, jade-like purplish-red eyes.

"Su?"

"Long time no see. You've had a tough time these past years, Hua."

Su smiled and looked at Fu Hua with the warmest of eyes.

Fu Hua was touched. Her lips parted slightly, as if she had so many words and questions on her mind. But in the end, she simply nodded gently, then asked with a troubled expression:

"What's wrong with Anqi? Do you have any way to help her, Su?"

"You need to ask yourself that. Do you trust your disciple, Hua?"

Fu Hua then looked down at the sleeping Anqi.

She quickly gave a perfectly reasonable answer:

"I believe in her. Anqi is a strong girl, and she will definitely get through this."

"Then keep believing in me. Your disciple will never let you down."

Su seemed very happy, and the smile on her face was even more heartwarming.

Then he reached out and gently stroked Anqi's hair.

"But she needs some time, and you all need some time. There's always a process involved, right?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Let her come with me. It won't be long before she comes back to you."

"You..."

Fu Hua subconsciously tightened his grip, worried that Anqi would be taken away.

After staring at each other for a long time, she finally let go.

Sue is a trustworthy person at all times, both in the previous era and now.

Moreover, it seems that only Su can help Anqi.

Fu Hua had no other choice but to let go.

"Promise me you'll take good care of her. This child has had a very difficult time all along."

I promise you.

Su made a promise and then took the sleeping Anqi from Fu Hua.

Then Su stood up, looked at Skyfire and Durandal behind her, and smiled at them. After that, she transformed into a leaf carried by the wind and disappeared without a trace in the three people's sight.

Fu Hua reached out her hand, and a leaf drifted down into her palm, carrying a reassuring power.

"Hua, you have done a great job all these years and have never let anyone down. You have worked hard."

"Goodbye."

This is the recognition and praise that was conveyed during the last surgery.

But Fu Hua vaguely felt that this farewell was different from the last one, as if it were a true farewell forever.

Am I overthinking it?

Fu Hua stared at the spot where Su and Anqi had disappeared, clutching the leaf tightly. Her clear, watery gray eyes held a hint of melancholy.
