"Tianxie? Tianxie? Tianxie..." Han Rou's voice was very gentle. She called for a long time, but did not hear Tianxie answer. She thought Tianxie had fallen asleep. She gently picked up the child and put him on the bed. She picked up the smaller child in the child's arms and put him in the cradle next to the bed. Looking at the sleeping faces of the two children, Han Rou felt a warmth in her heart, but also a trace of indescribable bitterness.

Just as Han Rou was about to quietly leave the room, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"It's you! What are you doing here!"

"Rou'er, I didn't know you would be in the children's room. I just wanted to see the children, after all, today is Miao'er's one-month birthday. I know you don't want to see me. If I had known you were here, I wouldn't have come." Tianfeng's voice was a little hoarse, and he lowered his head slightly, like a child who had made a mistake. After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Han Rou was so angry she could almost feel her teeth chattering. "Do you want to keep running away? Today is Miao'er's one-month birthday, and it's time for you to make a choice."

"I..." Tianfeng stopped in his tracks, and didn't utter another word for a long time.

"What?!" Han Rou's tone was very unfriendly.

Tianfeng frowned for a long time, then turned around as if he had mustered up his courage, but he still dared not look Han Rou in the eye. "Rou'er, you are the woman I love most in my life..." He seemed to have difficulty speaking, and still could not continue.

"Just say what's on your mind." Han Rou turned to look at Tian Xie on the bed and Tian Miao in the cradle. Seeing that both children were asleep, she didn't leave the room. Instead, she sat down at the table, poured herself a cup of tea, and looked very patient.

"My father may end up like my grandfather, because when he entered the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he did not fully comprehend the universe. Even if he successfully advanced, his body could not adapt to the new realm, and his immortal power was not properly controlled, causing his lifespan to burn out. If he cannot find an elixir to prolong his life, he will probably run out of time and eventually pass away like my grandfather. I am the successor that my father has wholeheartedly nurtured. I bear heavy responsibilities. I cannot abandon the imperial family, nor can I fail my father's expectations."

Since I left my parents' room that day, you haven't let me see you. I've thought about it for a long time. I even considered taking you and the two children away from the Tian family and living in seclusion. Even though Tianxie's aptitude is poor, she still possesses immortal bones. Even without immortal roots or spiritual roots to absorb immortal energy from the immortal realm, with some elixirs, she can still live more than fifty years like a mortal. But Tianmiao has no immortal bones, so no matter how many immortal medicines he takes, he can't digest them and absorb immortal energy. He won't live past six years old. The only option is to send him back to the Han family to be cared for by everyone there. Perhaps there will be a miracle..."

"Enough! Stop spouting nonsense about Tianmiao. Your Tian family has such a large foundation and you are natives of the Immortal Realm, yet you can't do anything about it. What can our Han family, founded by an ascended mortal, possibly do? No matter how long Tianmiao lives, I only hope that he can be happy and have no regrets!"

"If you're going to give me a letter of divorce, hurry up! I want to bring Tianmiao back to the Han family as soon as possible. I don't want him to suffer like Tianxie, being bullied by your Tian family! I even regret it now. I should have gone back to the Han family five years ago. I shouldn't have let Tianxie live in your Tian family for five years. I'm not blind to how much this child has suffered in these five years. Now, this child is only five years old, but she acts like a little adult, constantly saying she wants to protect her younger brother. You've forced her into this situation. A perfectly healthy five-year-old child should be enjoying her childhood, but you've destroyed it all, making her live in fear, always afraid that someone will bully her and her brother!"

Tianfeng froze for a moment, then sighed after a long while, saying with some emotion, "Rou'er, I'm reluctant to let you go, but I can't let Father down, and I can't let the Tian family be destroyed in my hands. Even though I don't want to, I have to give up for the Tian family. My parents gave me life, and I should repay them. I'm afraid I can never repay the debt I owe you in this lifetime. Even though I'm reluctant to let you go, I can't selfishly keep you by my side. I can't let Tianxie and Tianmiao suffer in the Tian family anymore. I will do as you wish, let you leave, and give you a letter of divorce. It's all my fault. I blame myself for putting the Tian family first, for not being able to betray my parents, and for heaven playing tricks on us. If the two children hadn't had that fate, even if they were just children with spiritual roots, how wonderful that would be."

"Don't blame heaven and earth, it's all because you didn't love deeply enough." Han Rou didn't say anything more, after uttering this sentence lightly, she had a thought, and the paper and pen on the table floated to Tian Feng's front.

Tianfeng sighed deeply, trying to calm his mind, and murmured, "Perhaps, it's really as you said, I didn't love you deeply enough, I couldn't give up everything for you, and in the end I could only give you up."

So much helplessness forced him to give up his love. He looked more than ten years older in an instant, and the hair at his temples turned gray. He did not use his mind to control the pen, but reached out and held the pen in his hand. His hand trembled slightly as he wrote out trembling characters, stroke by stroke, writing a letter of divorce on the paper, just as he was drawing a line between himself and his beloved.

After this moment, she will never see him again, will she?

Tianfeng wrote very slowly, staring intently at Hanrou, as if trying to etch her into his mind, reluctant to blink.

Han Rou didn't even glance at him, her eyes fixed on the words on the paper. The moment he made the last stroke, she lightly flicked her sleeve, and in the blink of an eye, the paper that had been floating in mid-air disappeared into her sleeve.

"I have received the letter of divorce. You may leave now." His tone remained indifferent, without a trace of emotion.

Tianfeng's voice was somewhat hoarse as he asked, "When...will you...leave?"

Han Rou's lips curled into a mocking smile as she sneered, "What? You just gave me a letter of divorce, and you're already in a hurry to kick me out? Are you in a rush to marry a new wife?"

"No, Rou'er, you misunderstand. I wanted you to stay a few more days. In seven days, the restrictions on the back mountain will be lifted. The restrictions on the back mountain are lifted only once every ten years. That day is the time for the descendants of the Heavenly Family to go to the back mountain to find their own natal magic treasure. Every descendant of the Heavenly Family can only go once in their lifetime. They must drip a drop of blood onto the stone in front of the back mountain gate. As long as the blood is absorbed by the stone, they can be allowed to enter the back mountain to find their own natal magic treasure."

If one has the opportunity, there is a chance to find the Heavenly Family's most precious heirloom, although no one has found it for thousands of years. However, I still want Xie'er to try. Even without immortal roots or spiritual roots, the blood of the Heavenly Family still flows in her veins. Perhaps she will have an opportunity. Even if she doesn't find the heirloom, she can still obtain a decent natal magic weapon. There are countless magic weapons in the back mountain, and even the worst ones will automatically protect her in times of crisis. Even if Xie'er cannot use immortal energy to use magic weapons, they can still be used for self-defense.

Han Rou pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I originally intended to leave today. The Tian family doesn't want me to stay a moment longer, but for Xie'er's sake, I will stay until Xie'er obtains the magic treasure. Not only Xie'er, but I can also have Xie'er take Miao'er into the back mountain together. Anyway, once the restrictions on your Tian family's back mountain are lifted, regardless of age, anyone of the Tian family bloodline who has never obtained a magic treasure from the mountain can get one, right?"
