We moved to Golden Courtyard

“That man, Char… I want to become like him.”

Xu Qi's expression changed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Su changed the subject, asking, "What are your plans next, Xu Qi?"

"I...I want to hold a wedding for Mei and Airi after they give birth. I think it's my responsibility."

Kevin patted Xu Qi on the shoulder.

"Treat them well."

Xu Qi smiled knowingly.

"Don't talk like you're leaving. If I ever fail to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband, you should all give me a beating to wake me up."

After Xu Qi finished speaking, the men fell silent.

The smile froze on Xu Qi's face, and he said sadly.

"So you're leaving, is that right?"

Su looked at Xu Qi calmly.

“This trip to Europe has been very moving… Kevin and I want to stay there for a while, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, maybe longer.”

Under the oppressive rule of Mandate of Heaven, I witnessed much filth and depravity, which, like a virus, clung to various parts of Europe and were difficult to eradicate.

I am a doctor, and I cannot stand by and watch someone who deserves treatment rot away. Kevin felt the same way.

So we intend to heal the wounds that fate has left there in Europe.

Xu Qi looked at Kevin, who nodded and said something.

"My childhood dream was to be a hero who saves the world. But as I grew up, I was always busy with work..."

Xu Qi, I'm so glad to know you. You've rekindled my childhood dream—I think it's time for me to set off for my next destination.

Xu Qi's mouth was half open, but he couldn't utter a single word to persuade her to stay.

He then looked at Qianjie, who didn't seem to have many feelings about it and simply told Xu Qi the truth.

"I want to go back to Twilight Street. It's still like a slum. I want to build houses there and help the people there behave themselves."

"Tch! After all these years, they've probably forgotten who beat them to a pulp back then!"

Qianjie is also a nostalgic person.

Xu Qi smiled with relief, knowing that he, too, could not save Qian Jie.

Finally, he looked at Kosmo.

"Can't you also have a reason to leave?"

"Desdobia said she wants to apply to MIT in North America, and I also want to apply there, so I will go to North America to study with her."

Xu Qi laughed and scolded, "You're the most vulgar one, it's all for women!"

Kosmo turned his head away and remained silent.

Su said with a smile, "I think what Kosmo really wants to say is—I learned it from you."

Xu Qi was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter as well.

He raised his glass and said, "You all have dreams, and of course I won't stop you. However, the courtyard will always have rooms reserved for you."

During holidays or festivals, or whenever you remember, you can come and stay here... no matter how far apart we are or where we are.

We'll always be family, right?

Sue was the first to raise her glass, and Kevin also smiled and raised his glass as well.

Qianjie pouted, looking somewhat reluctant, while Kosmo always had the same expressionless face, holding his wine glass and revealing nothing of his thoughts.

"May time stand still at this moment..."

May tomorrow shine like gold.

······

After the banquet, Xu Qi got drunk.

He hadn't drunk much, but he still passed out in his chair.

Eden shook his head slightly and helped him back to his room, while Kevin and the others left the Golden Courtyard directly after the banquet.

Tonight is, in fact, their final farewell.

Xu Qi lay on the large bed he hadn't been to in a long time, feeling dizzy under the influence of alcohol.

But he remained calm.

He knew Kevin and the others weren't used to farewells, so tonight... would be the last time they saw each other.

Although we'll meet again someday, I don't know when that will be.

Perhaps this is an inevitable part of life's journey: the parting of friends, the passing of teachers...

In a daze, he felt a soft, delicate body in his arms.

Xu Qi kissed him instinctively, and the other person did not stop her.

Xu Qi bit her soft lips, and the woman's fragrance and sweetness captivated him.

Who could it be? Is it Kiana? She finally has a body and can't wait to get intimate with me...

So Xu Qi reached out to the other person's chest and gently pressed it—it was flat.

Ok?

Xu Qi opened his eyes abruptly as if startled awake! What appeared in his sight was a familiar face, yet not quite familiar.

That serene and otherworldly demeanor, at this moment, seems to have been tainted by the confusion of the mortal world.

"Sister Xian'er?"

1211. The master is watching from the side, and the disciple sets an example.

It's no wonder Xu Qi reacted so strongly, after all, he never expected that this celestial-like person would actually snuggle into his arms on his own initiative.

Anyway, he's definitely sober now. In the end, given Xu Qi's current physical condition, he won't get drunk no matter what, as long as he doesn't want to.

Seeing that Xu Qi was awake, Fu Xian'er asked.

Why not continue?

What you're saying...

Xu Qi awkwardly shrank his neck.

"I...I didn't expect it to be Sister Xian'er."

His body instinctively moved backward, but Fu Xian'er's strong thigh was already pressed down on Xu Qi's leg. The posture was unseemly, but it clearly stopped Xu Qi.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the other person was still wearing that green Taoist robe, and his expression was calm.

She looks so much like Fu Hua...

But now, Xu Qi can still tell that the person lying in front of him must be his master, not his disciple.

But how could the master and apprentice look so alike...?

I feel that "mother" and "daughter" would be a more fitting description.

"Not expecting it to be me shouldn't be a valid reason."

For some reason, Fu Xian'er seemed incredibly aggressive at the moment.

Xu Qi asked in confusion, "Sister Xian'er, where are the others?"

"You haven't answered my first question yet."

"I……"

Seeing Xu Qi hesitate, Fu Xian'er sighed, released Xu Qi, and turned her back to him. The woman's graceful curves were fully displayed in her back view.

Even though what he was wearing was a loose Taoist robe.

Xu Qi's heart tightened. He moved forward and hugged Fu Xian'er from behind, saying, "Sister Xian'er, what's wrong? Why are you like this tonight..."

"Xu Qi, tell me honestly, do you... not like me?"

"How could that be? I've kissed you, hugged you, how could I not like you?"

"That's just because I resemble Fu Hua, and you mistook me for someone else."

Xu Qi was both amused and exasperated.

"Sister Xian'er, what's wrong with you? Maybe it was like this at first, but later... I've already called you Master, how can you say you've mistaken me for someone else?"

"If that's the case, why didn't you touch me in Europe?"

really……

When Xu Qi returned and saw Fu Hua, her first question was—whether she had taken Xian'er as her master.

"You took Himeko, Kaffa, and Durandal, and you also took that little girl named Kiki. Even Paddo has become more intimate with you."

But you've never touched me...

Xu Qi scratched his head.

"Isn't Sister Xian'er avoiding me?"

"If I avoid you, won't you come looking for me? Am I supposed to refuse you?"

That awkward personality of hers...

Xu Qi leaned in and kissed Fu Xian'er on the cheek.

"I thought Sister Xian'er didn't like how I was in Europe... After all, I myself realized how much I indulged myself back then."

It's normal if Sister Xian'er didn't like me back then.

Fu Xian'er turned around, her usually indifferent face now showing a rare hint of anger.

"I don't like you, yet I let you kiss and hug me, is that it?"

"Sister Xian'er, please don't be angry. It was my fault... But I still have some questions. Why was Sister Xian'er so proactive today?"

"Because if I don't get my master to take the initiative, you might really miss out on each other."

A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Xu Qi, who turned around and saw Fu Hua.

He lay on the bed, looking left and right, before realizing that Fu Xian'er had snuggled into his arms, but that didn't mean there was no one else in the bed.

“Master, I told you long ago that you have to take the initiative to deal with this bastard.”

Fu Xian'er sighed.

"In this respect, you are my mentor."

Caught between the two women, Xu Qi looked like an innocent little rabbit, shrinking back as he asked, "So... what are you planning to do?"

Kiana was planning to come see you tonight, but I got her drunk.

Xu Qi was stunned.

“Mei and the others are pregnant, so they naturally went to bed early. As for the others… Eden and I helped you back. Eden went out, and I was still inside, so they naturally understood.”

Got it?

What do you know?

I don't understand!

"You like my master, don't you?"

Facing Fu Hua's piercing gaze, Xu Qi felt a little guilty and looked away, only to see Fu Xian'er staring straight at him from the other side.

I'm forcing myself to answer this...

"Yes, I... of course I like Sister Xian'er."

"Master likes you too."

"I know."

"Since you and my master are in love, tonight is your auspicious day."
