Chapter 448: Chapter 448: The Wish

Jiangli looked at the dim figure of Lin Yurong and sighed, "The matter with the Lin Family might take a bit more time, but at the latest, it should be over in the next two days. You... will you leave with Liao Qianqian then?"

Lin Yurong lifted her head, and as soon as she spoke, she couldn’t help but choke up, "Abbot, have my parents really... given up on me?"

Jiangli opened her mouth, but didn’t know how to comfort her.

She could only look helplessly towards Fu’er.

Fu’er met Jiangli’s gaze, quickly pretended not to see her, turned his head, looked up into the sky, down at the ground, and at the tips of his shoes—anywhere but at Jiangli.

He had the expression of someone who hadn’t seen anything at all.

Jiangli, irritated, rolled her eyes and said bravely, "This... human hearts are complex, thoughts vary from person to person, not all parents are qualified to be parents. It’s not your fault, you shouldn’t take it to heart."

Lin Yurong’s eyes reddened as she gave a bitter smile, "I’ve always known they don’t cherish me, all of it was true..."

Jiangli: "..."

She really didn’t know how to comfort someone.

Should she ask Xia Xin for help?

"Forget it." Lin Yurong wiped the corner of her eye and said, "If they don’t like me, I don’t need to be sad over them."

Jiangli’s eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, "That’s right! That’s how you should think!"

"Abbot, don’t worry about me, I don’t have any wishes, it doesn’t matter whether I see them or not. As long as Liao Qianqian’s issues are dealt with, I can leave at any time." Lin Yurong felt there was really no need anymore.

If her parents had abandoned her, then she would abandon them.

Now that she was already in this state, what was there to hold onto?

Jiangli looked at Lin Yurong, nodded slightly, and said, "Alright."

Lin Yurong then turned to look at Liao Qianqian beside her, even smiling at her, without showing any signs of pessimism.

Both Jiangli and Liao Qianqian felt some heartache for Lin Yurong at that moment.

But neither knew how to offer comfort.

Just then, Liao Qianqian remembered something and changed the subject. "Abbot, actually I have a favor to ask of you."

Jiangli took the opportunity to ask, "What is it?"

"I want to ask the Abbot to bless my parents. I hope they live a long life until a ripe old age." Liao Qianqian said, "If possible, I wish they could have another child, even if it completely replaces me, as long as it makes them happy."

Her parents weren’t that old, in fact, they were just over forty. However, the years of torment had aged and worn them greatly.

If they wanted more children, it wasn’t impossible.

Yet, the thought of being replaced made Liao Qianqian feel a bit bitter inside.

But as long as her parents could be happy, she didn’t mind whatever happened to her.

Jiangli recalled the facial features of Liao Qianqian’s parents and said, "Children might not be in their future, but they can live long lives, you can be assured of that. Tomorrow I will give them two Energy Nourishing Charms to help them adjust."

Upon hearing this, Liao Qianqian felt a bit sad, "Can’t they really have another child?"

Jiangli countered, "What if they have a new child, and they really forget you, what then?"

Liao Qianqian replied anxiously, "It doesn’t matter to me! As long as someone can accompany them when my parents are old, that’s enough. Otherwise... wouldn’t it be too cruel for them to live a long life?"

Upon reflecting, Jiangli realized she hadn’t actually been clear about the facial indications of Liao Qianqian’s parents.

The facial features of Liao Qianqian’s father and mother suggested not an abundant filial fortune, but their recent gauntness had altered their features, making them ambiguous. Without the details of their birth dates and times, it was difficult to be sure.

However...

If Liao Qianqian insisted, it was possible to help artificially.

With this in mind, Jiangli said, "I’ll ask your parents first then. But it’s not suitable for you to see them anymore, spirits and humans follow different paths. Seeing them too much is not good for you or for them."
