Main Character:

Shen Yao

Liu Mingchen's final destination was the Demon Race territory; unlike Shen Yao and Liu Jingyan, who were traveling with a playful mindset, when the two sides bumped into each other in the town, Liu Mingchen was rare to be somewhat bewildered.

"Young Master Liu, Young Master Liu"

"Sorry, I have business," Liu Mingchen refused the girl who wanted to come over, turned around and walked to Shen Yao, "Mother, why did you come?"

Shen Yao looked at her own son with a playful expression, her gaze glancing at the clear-and-beautiful girl not far behind who was staring at her, "Let's not talk about me first, what's going on with you?"

Liu Mingchen:...

Liu Mingchen was rare to be at a loss, "It's just a small matter, the other party thought too much."

Shen Yao snorted softly, pulling Liu Mingchen's arm to leave, "I'm afraid you thought too little."

Clearly placing a true heart on an emotionless blockhead, a pity the blockhead wouldn't open his wits, the true heart sent out could only be betrayed.

"Mother, where's Father?"

Liu Mingchen only saw Shen Yao, and did not see Liu Jingyan following by her side.

"He went to buy some things, we agreed to meet at the inn," Shen Yao explained a couple of sentences, mentioning the different scenery she had seen along the way.

Although Liu Mingchen came out a few months earlier than them, Liu Mingchen bore the Exorcism Office mission, and every place he reached he had to run a trip to the Exorcism Office.

Coming and going delaying things, it was truly normal for them to meet on the way.

"Didn't expect you to still be busy after coming out, absolutely don't press yourself too tight," children should have the vigor of children; Liu Mingchen had not married and started a family, in Shen Yao's eyes he was just a child who hadn't grown up.

Only because the Heavenly Dao Consciousness was meddling, Liu Mingchen had no choice but to diligently exorcise; Shen Yao felt this was not fair to Liu Mingchen.

Liu Mingchen was first a person, with his own seven emotions and six desires of anger, joy, sorrow, and happiness, and only then a Buddha Son Reincarnation, shouldering his own responsibility and righteousness on his shoulders.

"Mother, son understands," he wouldn't really live himself into a tool person without emotional needs.

"Come with me to the inn, just right to meet your father," Shen Yao said no more, raised her hand and patted Liu Mingchen's shoulder, leading the way.

Liu Mingchen followed, mother and son one in front and one behind, soon arriving at the inn where they stayed this time.

The inn was located in the center of the town, covering a large area, the front was five stories high, and behind there were various small courtyards.

Shen Yao and Liu Jingyan were not short of money, directly renting a three-story small building; normally there were close attendants, just that the daily expense was not small.

"Where do you live? If possible, move over here; your father and I will stay here for a period of time."

Shen Yao had someone send over a fruit platter and beverages, and herself casually put the things she bought back beside the table.

"I'm temporarily staying at the Exorcism Office; there's a case involving a wide range," Liu Mingchen did not plan to move over, who made him still have to investigate cases normally.

"A case? What case?" Shen Yao poured a cup of tea water to her lips.

"A headless strange case; those involved either died or were disabled," Liu Mingchen's case investigation hit a dead end, suspecting some evidence had not been discovered.

Shen Yao listened and let it go; having been raised in luxury for many years, she truly was not material for investigating cases.

"Wait for your father to return, you can ask him; he has come here before."

Helpfully pointing out a not-so-clear clear path, Shen Yao stood up and organized the things she bought back, leaving Liu Mingchen sitting there alone drinking tea and pondering.

In the afternoon Liu Jingyan returned, seeing Liu Mingchen's smile obviously brilliant.

Liu Mingchen took the opportunity to ask a few sentences about the case situation; after getting Liu Jingyan's verbal information, he hurriedly ran back.

Shen Yao and Liu Jingyan stayed here for half a month; Liu Mingchen had not yet finished the case in his hands, but the two had already planned to go to the next town.

The two sides tacitly did not meet; instead, when leaving, Shen Yao saw that girl who had once entangled Liu Mingchen.

Perhaps she was going out of the city to handle business; the girl's complexion was not good, and after noticing Shen Yao she fiercely glared once.

Shen Yao:... Huh?

Liu Jingyan was inexplicably puzzled, "Do we know her? Is there a private grudge?"

Shen Yao had an innocent face, "Just misplaced anger; it's my son's peach blossom."

Liu Jingyan:...

"She has no hope; not to mention Mingchen doesn't have those looks, simply judging from behavior style, she's not likable."

The husband and wife sat on the carriage and left; neither put the girl in their hearts.

Traveling for not many days, the two arrived at a new small town and began to set up camp.

Strolling the streets, playing around, going to the next town.

Wherever the two went, it was the same steps; the only difference was the danger that occasionally appeared.

The Demon Race had already risen in chaos; towns near the Demon Race territory would have a few escaped fish that slipped through the net running out.

After Shen Yao and Liu Jingyan bumped into a faceless strange phenomenon head-on, they tacitly chose to leave this territory, just to reduce trouble.

"Looks like the Demon Race isn't doing well either;" strange phenomena being able to run out meant either not enough food or the opponent was too strong.

With the Demon Race's behavior style, both possibilities would exist.

Shen Yao smiled, "If the Demon Race therefore falls silent, it's a good thing for Qian Kingdom."

Solving the Demon Race hidden danger without costing a single soldier or troop; Qian Kingdom took this opportunity to be able to rest and recuperate for many years.

"Yes, when I came out, Royal Brother was still hesitating whether to send troops against the Demon Race," Liu Jingyan sighed, thinking in his heart that this time there was no need to hesitate; the Demon Race's internal ranks were already in chaos, and Qian Kingdom could stand by the riverbank and watch the changes.

"Let's go; let's first go to other small towns; it's not necessary to stay at the Human Race border."

The border had long been empty of people; in the last two years there would be escaped Human Race people or Human Race people hiding in the mountain forests appearing, but most of them had unusual identities, unable to survive in other towns, so they took root at the border and lived with difficulty.

Shen Yao and Liu Jingyan took playing around as the main thing; the points they considered were all related to survival.

The border was obviously not suitable for living; they had not a bit of attachment and left cleanly and decisively.

The carriage turned a bend on the way, heading toward those towns opposite to the border.

Every place has different livelihoods, different characteristics, and leaves different impressions on them.

When Shen Yao was in the mood, she would buy some flashy but impractical things back, organize them, and have the guards around her send them to Luojing.

The two of them did not plan to return in a short time, but leaving several children and elders in Luojing was indeed somewhat improper.

Now, relying on the gift route, she believed her family far away in Luojing would understand her.

"Quick, there's a temple fair ahead, it's said there are even flower-decked floats paraded by commoners..." Liu Jingyan greeted Shen Yao behind him, and the two pushed through the crowd blocking their way, standing in a place with a wide view to look into the distance.

Floral fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose, fresh flowers lined both sides, Shen Yao touched the flower wreath on her head, "Let's stay here a few more days."

Coming early is not as good as coming at the right time; the festival here is similar to the Flower God Festival, but without the strangeness of the Flower God Festival, it is just a simple ancestral sacrifice activity.

Fresh flowers bloomed along both sides of the street, and the pedestrians coming and going were also adorned with flowers.

Shen Yao fell in love with this place as soon as she arrived; besides, it was warm like spring all year round here, as if people were in the capital of flowers, every move radiating romance and tenderness.

Living in such a carefree small town, without worrying about food and drink, it was simply an ideal daily life.

Today becomes tomorrow, tomorrow is so many. Shen Yao spoke up and stayed again and again; by the time they got on the carriage to leave, two or three months had already passed.

Looking at the town behind them becoming increasingly blurry, Shen Yao leaned on Liu Jingyan's shoulder, "Will we come back?"

Liu Jingyan patted the back of Shen Yao's hand, "Yes," this place is all within the territory of Qian Kingdom, under the whole heaven, none is not the king's land. They wanting to come back is not a difficult thing.

Shen Yao laughed softly, burying her head in Liu Jingyan's embrace and saying softly, "When we are old and can no longer walk, we will buy a courtyard here, eating coarse tea and plain food daily, working at sunrise and resting at sunset," living an ordinary and plain life.

"Alright, just the two of us," Liu Jingyan agreed, and promised this was their agreement between them.

Sun rises and sun sets, flowers bloom and wither.

Shen Yao and Liu Jingyan left for ten years once they went out; during this period they returned to Luojing briefly, but could not stay long before going out again.

In the fifth year after they came out, Liu Mingchen successfully obtained the Demon Treasure of the Demon Race, and by the way solved the troubles of the Demon Race, making a huge contribution to the unification of Qian Kingdom.

During this period, the youngest Liu Mingjin started a family and established a career, becoming mature and steady.

Liu Jingsheng even sat firmly on the imperial throne, with new offspring born under his knees every year.

"Mother, this time you and Father are back, do you want to stay for a longer period?"

Although Liu Mingfei was the mother of two children, she still did as she pleased; the female general who fought on the battlefield showed her sharpness, dazzling and bright.

"We will stay for some days; you have all started families and established careers, are you still reluctant to part with your parents?"

Shen Yao touched Liu Mingfei's head; her hair had already turned white. Going out for ten years was not without change, it was just that time favored her more.

Liu Mingfei had the mindset of the little daughter of that year, saying the three words "reluctant to part" openly and aboveboard.

Shen Yao was helpless and agreed to accompany her more this time upon returning.

"Mother promised Eldest Sister, what about the son and Eldest Young Master?" Liu Mingjin came up to tease; even after becoming a father, in front of Shen Yao he was still a child.

"They are all Mother's children; Mother treats everyone equally," accompany all, accompany all.

Shen Yao balanced the bowl of water evenly, including Liu Mingchen who had not yet returned.

Yes, ten years had already passed, and Liu Mingchen had not yet returned to Luojing. Even though the external threat of the Demon Race had been resolved, Liu Mingchen was still exorcising anomalies in daily life.

Like some deep mountains and old forests that few people ever stepped into, there were traces of Liu Mingchen.

The last time Shen Yao asked the system, Liu Mingchen was staying in a mountain god temple on a mountain called Chang Ying Shan; the purpose naturally could not escape the four words of slaying demons and eliminating devils.

Anomalies decreased, and more and more people had already forgotten the terror of anomalies; the Exorcism Office and the Demon Suppression Bureau became ornaments, and in a few decades they would disappear in the long river of history.

Shen Yao said what she would do and did it, placing most of her time on the few children.

Fortunately, in these years they were away, the few children did not go astray and also learned to bear the responsibilities belonging to themselves.

The newborn younger generation were cute and lovable; there was no need to worry about the future of the Liu Family.

"Grandmother"

"Grandmother"

"Zhi Er wants to listen to stories from outside"

"Cheng Er also wants to listen"

"......"

The human children surrounded Shen Yao in a circle, taking out their skills to act coquettish and sell cuteness.

Shen Yao was surrounded in the middle, smiling on her face, speaking softly about things outside.

Liu Jingyan came back and saw such a harmonious scene of companionship; as if through these scenes, he saw the childhood of Liu Mingxuan and the others.

Perhaps blood relationship is just so unique; although they were not that alike, it could arouse their soft inner hearts.

"What are you talking about? Let Grandfather listen too."

Liu Jingyan laughed and touched his beard, took quick steps and hugged one of the children.

Clear and pleasant children's laughter sounded, followed by cries of Grandfather.

"Sit down quickly, Zhi Er and the others want to hear about things outside; I was just saying..."

As the distance around became farther, Shen Yao's voice gradually became blurry and unclear. However, the tenderness poured into the words could make people feel it truly.

Shen Yao and Liu Jingyan stayed in Luojing for two years, then followed the departure.

This time leaving, Shen Yao had a clear attitude; she would not come back to live for a long time. Just as Liu Jingyan had promised her back then, there was only an agreement between the two of them.

"Mother"

Liu Mingxuan and the other two came over to see them off, reluctant to part.

"Go back, think carefully about the words Father and Mother said; staying in Luojing, good or bad, all depends on yourself."

It would not be long before, as the Princes grew up, disputes would be ignited again; this was not something that could be avoided just by wanting to avoid it.

Shen Yao hoped the three of them could understand the consequences of deciding a matter.

"Father and Mother are outside the capital; the matters of Luojing cannot affect us, but you still have to live in Luojing, and behind you are your own wives and children; consider everything in all matters, do not be reckless," Liu Jingyan said, put down the curtain shielding in his hand, and signaled the coachman to depart.

Liu Mingxuan and the other two watched the carriage depart, exchanged a glance, then turned back toward the city.

Inside the carriage, Shen Yao held Liu Jingyan's hand, her tone uncertain, "I don't know if they'll listen."

With children, it's always like this—no matter how much you do, you still feel it's not enough.

Shen Yao and Liu Jingyan hadn't only brought these things up when leaving today; at home, they had instilled royalist ideas into the children plenty.

But now that they had truly left Luojing and left the children behind, Shen Yao worried again that the children wouldn't remember and would suffer for it.

Liu Jingyan told Shen Yao not to be so nervous, "Anyone not stupid can understand that we wouldn't harm them."

He even hoped they would do better and better, so that even if one day he left first, he could rest easy.

"Yes, we've done enough; if they still can't understand, then there's no need for more words—it's just fate."

Shen Yao sighed, stopped discussing this topic, and turned to other matters instead.

Liu Jingyan, sensing her words, thoughtfully brought her brewed tea to soothe her throat.

"Do you think the Crown Prince the Emperor has in mind will be a Prince born of the Empress?"

Liu Jingsheng had not established a Crown Prince, even though the Empress had a biological son.

"Who knows? The Emperor has been on the throne for many years; what he thinks in his heart, probably only he himself knows."

Before leaving, Liu Jingyan had met with Liu Jingsheng, and the two brothers exchanged thoughts calmly and peacefully.

Pity that one deliberately concealed things while the other had his reservations, and they found out nothing.

Now that Liu Jingyan had left Luojing, his time with Liu Jingsheng was reduced even further, making it all the harder to fathom Liu Jingsheng's mind.

Neither spoke anymore, and wordless silence flowed through the carriage.

In the end, Shen Yao wrapped up with a joke, "The Emperor has his calculations; I trust the Crown Prince will not fail expectations."

Liu Jingyan took up the conversation, "They are all descendants of the Liu Family; as long as Qian Kingdom is protected, who cares about anything else."

The course of every story is created by people; their story has reached its end, and the remaining other storylines have nothing to do with them...
