Chapter 151 Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya
The wooden door opened gently, and a delicate and slender middle-aged woman peeked out. When she saw that the person who came was Xu Sanshi, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"It's Xiao Xu! Come in quickly! Come in quickly! Have you eaten? Auntie will make you something!"
"I've already eaten, so I won't trouble you, Auntie! This is some lotus honey from Qingquan Spring that I brought you. You can brew some every day; it's good for your health!"
As he spoke, Xu Sanshi took out an exquisite transparent crystal jar from his soul tool. Inside was a bright yellow honey that looked so delicious it made one's mouth water.
"Every time you come, you bring so much stuff! And it's all ridiculously expensive! Wouldn't it be better to leave these nice things for you young people? At my age, with my health, how can I possibly handle all this stuff? Xiao Xu, you're not allowed to bring any more of this stuff! Do you hear me?"
Xu Sanshi walked into the living room, placed the honey on the guest table, and said with a smile, "Auntie, what are you saying? How can you visit your elders without bringing something? Please don't say such things! Besides, I've received a lot of help from Nannan, and it's not right for you to be so polite with me about such a small gift every time!"
When Jiang's mother heard Xu Sanshi talk about Jiang Nannan, she sighed and said, "Nannan is such a filial child! Every month she sends her scholarship money from the academy home, she doesn't even know how to keep some for herself. She's just too hardworking, she hasn't been home for so many years, and she doesn't even come back to see me."
"I know I have all these illnesses and there are so many things that require money. Just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm a burden to this child—."
Seeing this, Xu Sanshi quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Auntie, it's all right now! You can stay in Shrek City, and she'll be able to come see you when she has some free time. These days, she was just selected by the academy as a regular member of the next Soul Master Competition, and tomorrow she'll be participating in the reserve team competition. She's very busy and hasn't had time to come see you."
"She'll come when she's free after the competition. I came here specifically to let you know, on Nan Nan's behalf. We won't be able to visit you for almost a month afterward, so please take care of yourself!"
Jiang's mother knew perfectly well that these were words Xu Sanshi had deliberately used to comfort her, but she naturally wouldn't expose his good intentions.
"You all go about your business! Don't worry too much about this sickly old man! I'm already very happy if you can come and visit me when you have time."
Xu Sanshi glanced at the mechanical clock on the wall. Quite some time had passed, and he had to hurry back to pack his things. He needed to get the important business done as soon as possible.
"Auntie, please give me your hand. I'll use my soul power to nourish your body again."
Jiang's mother, somewhat embarrassed, extended her hand and said, "I always have to trouble you."
"No trouble at all! No trouble at all! It's my duty!"
As Xu Sanshi spoke with a smile, he took Jiang's mother's arm and circulated his soul power along her meridians, a gentle yet profound flow of soul energy slowly coursing through her body...
Jiang Nannan had just received a letter from her mother a few days ago, saying that the academy had helped her move to Shrek City to recuperate. At first, she was a little skeptical, fearing that her mother had been kidnapped by bad people, so she hurriedly went to ask her homeroom teacher, Xu Meng, about it.
Unexpectedly, Xu Meng readily nodded, admitting it. She said, "You just happened to gain the honor of being one of the Shrek Seven Devils, so I was thinking of getting you some benefits. The academy saw how hard you were training, so they made a special exception to help your mother move here. I was just about to talk to you about this, but I didn't expect you to come and ask me about it."
Upon learning that the academy had indeed done it, Jiang Nannan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Over the years, she had been forced to submit to Xu Sanshi because she had gone to the Xuanming Sect to exchange for the Xuanwu Divine Pill for her mother. After that incident, she felt she had no face to see her mother again, so she sent her scholarship money home every year, but never dared to go back to visit her.
Now that she knows her mother is in the North District of Shrek City, how can Jiang Nannan suppress her longing?
Besides, we have to leave for Xingluo City tomorrow morning, and the next opportunity won't come until after the competition is over.
After quickly packing her few belongings, Jiang Nannan immediately went to the address her mother had sent her.
After searching for a while, she found herself in front of a quaint and elegant attic. Just as Jiang Nannan was about to reach out and knock on the wooden door, it unexpectedly opened a crack from the inside!
Startled, Jiang Nannan quickly hid in the narrow passage next to the attic, peeking out half her head to observe.
"Auntie, I'll be going now. Nan Nan and I will come to see you after the competition." Xu Sanshi said goodbye to Jiang's mother as he opened the door.
"This is fruit wine that Auntie made herself, you have to take it!" Jiang's mother handed a bag to Xu Sanshi.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'll take some over for Nannan to try too."
"Alright, you should go now! It's getting late, go home and get some rest!"
"Goodbye, Auntie!"
Goodbye, Xiao Xu!
Watching Xu Sanshi leave the attic and head towards the north gate, Jiang Nannan's mind seemed to suddenly explode.
So he's been taking care of my mother all along?
He's been taking care of all these things for me all these years, I haven't gone back.
I...
Jiang Nannan's emotions were incredibly complex. The trauma from before and the things Xu Sanshi had done for her over the years flashed through her mind, lingering there as if those scenes were still vivid in her memory.
Suppressing her emotions and not crying, Jiang Nannan knocked on the door of the attic.
"Xiao Xu? Did you leave something behind?"
The door was gently pulled open, and Jiang's mother stared wide-eyed at the person in front of her, her eyes immediately reddening.
"Nan, Nan Nan! You, you're back!"
After stammering through her words, tears streamed down her face. Jiang's mother held Jiang Nannan, speechless for a moment.
Seeing her mother shed tears, Jiang Nannan could no longer contain her emotions and burst into tears as well.
"Mom, your daughter is unfilial!"
"You silly child! What nonsense are you talking about! You're my pride! Come in! Sleep with me tonight!"
"Um..."
In the garden downstairs from the dormitory, Beibei and Tangya strolled side by side.
"Xiaoya, tomorrow I'm going to participate in a competition with Sanshi, Dong'er, and Yuhao. We won't see each other again until after the competition."
Tang Ya hugged Bei Bei's arm and gently rested her head on his shoulder. "I'll miss you."
"Me too."
As they spoke, the two stopped under a tree, stood facing each other, their eyes meeting, their unspoken words conveying their deepest feelings.
"Xiaoya, why don't you take a day off and go watch the game? Just to relax."
Tang Ya gently shook her head, rejecting Bei Bei's suggestion.
"I'm only a Level 2 Soul Master, and I still have a lot to learn. I can't waste this time. Beibei, I'll be waiting for you at the academy, okay?"
Beibei reached out and pulled Tang Ya into her arms, gently kissing her forehead, and said, "I will always respect your choices, Xiao Ya. But you must be careful not to overexert yourself."
"fool!"
Tang Ya chuckled and scolded, then snuggled closer to Bei Bei. It was clear that she truly cherished this brief, warm moment.
"Beibei, I have a gift for you."
"A gift? What are you going to give me?"
Tang Ya stretched out her arm, which was adorned with two bracelets, one dark blue and the other bluish-purple.
"The first level-two soul tool I made, that blue-purple one, I named it Blue Dragon Heart..."

As Bei Bei listened to Tang Ya's detailed account, seeing her excited expression and feeling her strong desire to share, he was truly grateful for Huo Yuhao's help back then. He couldn't even imagine what Tang Ya would be like now without Huo Yuhao...
