"Yes!"
As Li Qingan was speaking, he was about to pat the little girl's head when, unexpectedly, she took a step back.
This small movement made Li Qingan feel as if he had somehow become fierce and menacing, or perhaps he had unknowingly entered a state of 'perfect man'.
It gives people a sense of authority.
Li Qingan began to doubt himself.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Lu Xueqi also walked over at that moment.
"This is the little girl who just knocked on the door."
Li Qingan stood up, shrugged, pointed at the little girl, and said to Lu Xueqi.
Lu Xueqi looked in the direction Li Qingan was pointing.
Similarly, Lu Xueqi looked at the little girl's familiar outfit and felt a sense of warmth in her eyes. She squatted down and looked at her, eagerly asking.
"Little girl, do you know Grandma Su?"
"Grandma Su!"
Upon hearing the name, a trace of sadness flickered deep in the little girl's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
But for her, now is not the time to be sad.
She needs to determine whether Grandma Su's last wish can be fulfilled.
However, after hearing what the woman in white said...
She has tentatively confirmed that the two people in front of her are the same two people that Grandma Su often told her about seeking immortality two years ago.
"Excuse me, are you Brother Li Qingan and Sister Lu Xueqi?"
Li Qingan and Lu Xueqi exchanged a glance.
In the entire Shuiyun City, the only person who knew accurate information about the two was Grandma Su, who had adopted Lu Xueqi.
"It's us!"
Lu Xueqi asked impatiently, "Grandma Su, is she alright?"
"Xueqi, let's go back to our room first!"
Li Qingan glanced around at the residents who were occasionally looking over.
Lu Xueqi regained her composure, led the little girl back into the room, and sat on the wooden stool that Li Qingan had made that day.
Li Qingan also sat to the side, watching the two women talk.
Under Lu Xueqi's expectant gaze, the little girl told her everything she knew.
It turns out that this girl was adopted by Grandma Su four years ago. Her name is Su Yue, and her nickname is Daidai!
During these three years, Grandma Su often told her about Lu Xueqi and Li Qingan from more than ten years ago.
Unfortunately, he did not live long enough.
Grandma Su passed away a year ago, leaving behind only her little girl.
The house where Li Qing'an and his wife lived did not collapse in more than ten years because Grandma Su and the little girl used to come here often to take care of it, weed, and do other chores.
Su Yue came here because she had passed by this house before and heard some noises coming from inside.
Fearing that someone might take over their house, they knocked on the door to check.
Seeing Lu Xueqi's heartbroken expression, Su Yue was also moved, her voice trembling with sobs.
"Before Grandma Su left, she guessed that you would come back one day, and she left an envelope. She told me to keep it and show it to you when you came back."

Chapter 162 Letter Contents: Xueqi, don't hurt...
Lu Xueqi, who had seemed a little sad just moments before, felt somewhat relieved when she heard that Grandma Su had left her another letter.
"Xiaoyue, can I take a look at it?"
"Okay! But I've kept that letter in Grandma Su's room all this time!"
Su Yue naturally couldn't refuse, and got up to go back and get the letter.
"I'll go with you!"
Lu Xueqi composed herself and pulled Su Yue toward the place she remembered.
Li Qingan sighed, abandoning his plan to clean the room himself. With a wave of his right hand, he cleaned the kitchen spotless, leaving no trace of odor.
He then left the house to buy some food and prepare dinner.
I will go to pay my respects to Grandma Su again tomorrow.
Moments later, fireworks were lit again in the house that had been uninhabited for over a decade.
Wisps of smoke rose from above the houses.
The room, which I hadn't seen for over ten years, once again smelled of human presence.
.......
On the other side, Lu Xueqi led Su Yue into the room they hadn't been to in over a decade.
The osmanthus flowers inside still exuded their fragrance, but the person with a full head of silver hair and a smile on his lips who used to stand under the tree was nowhere to be seen.
Even though she already knew that once she embarked on the path of cultivation, her connection with mortals would gradually sever, and that it would only be decades or hundreds of years later that she could find a trace of it in a corner of her mind and recall it for a few moments.
He then exclaimed, "Time flies!"
Afterwards, he adjusted his mindset and continued on the path of spiritual practice.
Seeing Lu Xueqi staring blankly, Su Yue silently went to the house and found the letter she had hidden.
She hid her letters in a very secluded place, even more so than she hid her silver.
After all, who can guarantee that two thieves won't break into their house?
"Sister Xueqi, this is the letter that Grandma Su asked me to leave for you."
Su Yue placed the well-preserved letter in front of Lu Xueqi.
The cover was made of rough kraft paper, with three characters written in light ink in the center: "To Xueqi". There were no signs of it being opened.
Lu Xueqi took a deep breath and slowly opened it.
Xueqi, my dear:
Do not hurt.
I wonder how much time has passed since you read this letter. You are quite stubborn. I once advised you to live under the same roof as me, but you said you would support yourself. Fortunately, you met that young man from Qing'an, who inexplicably protected you, yet your mother-in-law could see that he had no intention of harming you. And coincidentally, you two both have a predestined connection with the divine; you are a match made in heaven!
I do not know how immortals live their lives, whether they also use weapons to grow crops, or whether one person can be as strong as dozens or hundreds. But in this world, conflict is always unavoidable, and the path to immortality is probably even more so. You two should support each other and strive for progress together.
As one grows older, one becomes more talkative. Twelve years have passed since you left. I encountered a girl named Su Yue. Unlike you, she is quick-witted, knows how to seek advantage and avoid harm, and may even have the aptitude for cultivation. If you return when Yue Yue is still young, your grandmother begs you to take her into cultivation—such a clever child should not be confined by the distinctions between mortal men and women for her entire life. If you return when Yue Yue is over thirty, then it is not her destiny, and we cannot force it.
My mother-in-law has passed away. I pray for you, Yueyue, and Qing'an, wishing you a smooth, peaceful, and healthy life.
Don't worry, don't worry!
Lu Xueqi looked at the old man's rambling thoughts written before he died.
The ordinary words are full of passionate emotions.
Lu Xueqi calmed down a bit. In just over ten years, a person who had treated her so well had vanished from the world.
The word "death" carries such a heavy weight!
The pressure was so intense that Lu Xueqi could hardly breathe, and a strange sense of dread washed over her...
"Sister Xueqi, what did Grandma say?"
The soot on Su Yue's face was still there, and her eyes were fixed on the envelope in Lu Xueqi's hand.
She had kept this letter hidden for a long time, and naturally she was extremely curious about its contents.
Lu Xueqi handed the letter to Su Yue, looked at the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and smelled the fragrance of the osmanthus blossoms.
"Xiaoyue, take us to pay respects to Grandma Su tomorrow!"
From now on, you'll cultivate with me and your brother Li Qing'an at the Qingyun Sect!
"what?"
Su Yue's eyes widened in surprise; she never expected she would have the chance to join a cultivation sect.
"Are you willing?"
Su Yue nodded quickly; she also wanted to become like Lu Xueqi.
There's no need to hide your appearance; you can confidently show it to others.
There's no need to worry about worldly money, no need to worry about shelter from the wind and rain, no need to worry about the potential future obligations of obedience and chastity...
She didn't want to utter the lament, "Thick fog and heavy clouds bring endless sorrow throughout the day!"
"I am willing!"
Lu Xueqi nodded, took her hand with one hand, and wiped the stains off her face with the other.
"From now on, you don't need to hide it like this anymore!"
Su Yue's bright eyes trembled slightly as she stared intently at Lu Xueqi's face.
"it is good!"
Lu Xueqi touched her head and suddenly realized that touching someone else's head felt so strange.
She finally understood why Li Qing'an always patted her head when she was little.
"Let's go back and eat first. Your brother Li Qingan has already prepared the food!"
"Sister Xueqi, are you and Brother Li Qingan married now?"
