Practice Remembering You

Chapter 304 Thoughts

"Go ahead, Sister Dongdong." Wu Mengjie was ready.

Shi Dongdong told him in a serious tone about Wu Mengjie's parents in Xiaoshi City.

Hearing this, Wu Mengjie felt a little dazed and his heart seemed to be pinched.

Before hearing about the passing of his parents, Wu Mengjie always felt that such things were very far away from him, but now that he actually knew it, it actually felt a little unreal.

"How long have I been in seclusion?" Wu Mengjie suddenly thought of this and asked in some surprise and doubt.

"It's been a long time, but not short. It's been about a hundred years."

"A hundred years?!" Wu Mengjie screamed when he heard that. He knew that he had been in seclusion for a long time, but... he didn't expect it would be as long as a hundred years. He thought it would be only about a year at most.

The gap between one year and a hundred years is too big, far beyond Wu Mengjie's initial imagination.

Shi Dongdong patted Wu Mengjie on the shoulder and consoled him, "With your current level of cultivation, it's normal for you to need such a long time in seclusion to try to break through a higher realm. There's no need to worry too much."

Wu Mengjie was silent for a while, then he exhaled heavily: "I need to go back."

There were many things Wu Mengjie didn't say, but this one sentence was enough to express his thoughts clearly.

"Let me go back with you. Let's go find my brother together. He just said that we can go find him when we return to Little Rock."

In fact, when Shi Dongdong told me the bad news about his parents just now, I realized why Master said those strange words to me, and I couldn't help but feel deep gratitude towards Master.

So the two of them went directly to find Master Yazhi. When they arrived, they didn't even say hello, let alone say goodbye. Master Yazhi opened a space crack connecting to Xiaoshi City and said, "Don't be too anxious to come back this time.

If you have finished your business over there and are ready to return to the sect, then just send the jade token to contact me, and I will open the space wormhole again, and the location will be the place where you will exit later."

There was no need to say too many words of gratitude at this time. Wu Mengjie thanked his master and went back through the crack.

As soon as Wu Mengjie and Shi Dongdong arrived in Xiaoshi City, they felt a familiar fluctuation of true energy. It turned out to be Zhang Yu.

It wasn't that Master Yazhi contacted Zhang Yu first and told Wu Mengjie that they were back, but the fluctuations of Master Yazhi's true energy were so strong that it was difficult for Zhang Yu not to notice it.

This fluctuation was outside the city of Xiaoshi. When Zhang Yu sensed it, he was already coming here at full speed. After he arrived, the true qi fluctuations of the sect leader, Master Yazhi, disappeared, leaving only the true qi of Wu Mengjie and Shi Dongdong, who were very familiar to him.

Zhang Yu brought four cultivators from the city with him and came over. After seeing Wu Mengjie, they noticed the small umbrella floating next to him and knew that he had successfully reached the fifth-level magic weapon realm.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu was sincerely happy for Wu Mengjie: "It's been a long time since we last met, Brother Wu. Congratulations on finishing your retreat and breaking through a major realm to enter the fifth level."

When Wu Mengjie heard Zhang Yu's words, he looked at Zhang Yu. Wu Mengjie was stunned to see that Zhang Yu looked very old, like an old man who was about to die.

But he only looked like an old man, but in fact, his vitality was terrifying, like the rising sun. He walked as fast as the wind and as brisk as flying.

This look gives people the same feeling as the stern one, both look old, but actually have a lot of vitality. It can only be said that like teacher, like student.

Although Wu Mengjie and Shi Dongdong were surprised to see this, they did not discuss it too much, and they also thought of the reason why Zhang Yu behaved like this.

"Thanks to Brother Zhang, I was able to enter the magic weapon realm very smoothly." Wu Mengjie said a few words, and then his state became a little depressed, as if he was brewing what to say.

Zhang Yu understood Wu Mengjie's meaning at a glance, so he spoke directly: "Brother, you should know what happened, come with me."

After saying that, Zhang Yu flew away without waiting for Wu Mengjie's response.

Wu Mengjie took a deep breath behind him and then quickly followed.

When he arrived at the cemetery, Wu Mengjie looked at the tombstones one by one, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

As Zhang Yu led Wu Mengjie to his parents' cemetery, he had prepared a lot of things to say. But when he really arrived at the place and saw the cold tombstone, Wu Mengjie felt his mind go blank and he didn't know what to say.

So I just sat here in silence for a long time.

Zhang Yu did not ask Wu Mengjie what happened. As someone who had experienced it, he knew that his current situation was that his brain was blank.

Therefore, Zhang Yu simply stood beside Wu Mengjie to accompany her. Shi Dongdong knew that the tombstone in front of them was buried with Wu Mengjie's parents, so he knew that Wu Mengjie must be feeling very uncomfortable now, so he also accompanied him.

After a long while, Wu Mengjie finally spoke: "Brother Zhang, thank you for taking care of me all these years. My parents gave birth to such an unfilial son like me. Not only did they rarely contact me on weekdays, but they didn't even see me for the last time. I feel so ashamed."

"Given the life-and-death relationship between you and me, why do you have to say such things? Your parents are my parents, and it is my duty to take care of them.

And you, Wu Laodi, don't blame yourself or say that you are an unfilial son. Even at the last moment, your parents did not think that you were an unfilial son. You are the only immortal in the family and you are their pride.

When you were alive, whenever they mentioned you, their faces were filled with pride. I told them that you were a person pursuing the great path, and that even though they didn’t see you for the last time, your parents would understand.”

Wu Mengjie didn't say anything else, just sighed and said, "Brother Zhang, I want to be alone for a while, okay?"

Zhang Yu nodded and retreated with Shi Dongdong.

At noon the next day, Wu Mengjie came back. His condition had returned to normal. It seemed that Wu Mengjie had recovered quickly.

"Brother Zhang, I'm going back to the sect to stabilize my state, and then I'll go to the Extreme Cold Palace for a competition. Are you interested in coming?"

Zhang Yu shook his head: "I won't go. I'm not interested in fame and fortune. I just want to live a good life in this small place."

"I was thinking that if you followed me, Brother Zhang, you would have a companion."

Zhang Yu smiled slightly: "Don't you have the Sect Master and Uncle Master going with you? Especially Uncle Master is accompanying you, isn't that even better?"

"Ahem~" Wu Mengjie cleared his throat and said, "This... is indeed very good, but it feels different from what Brother Zhang feels like."

"I have a lot of concerns here. I have the city, my followers, and most importantly, I have to accompany your sister-in-law."

Wu Mengjie knew that Zhang Yu would not follow him, so he nodded, then contacted his master and went back to the sect.
