New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Qianyue glared at him and continued, "He said the ladies looked a bit like his old friend, and he also said he heard the old friend's name, but I didn't believe him at all, so..."

When she said this, her voice became smaller and smaller, and her face became redder. Then she also imitated Liu Hong just now, raised the wine glass, and said to Liu Qing: "I misunderstood you last time, I'm really sorry. But now that we have figured it out, we can still be friends in the future. Without further ado, this glass of wine, I toast you, I'll drink it, you can do as you please."

After saying that, Qianyue drank it all without hesitation. After finishing, she deliberately shook the empty cup to show that she had no more left.

Liu Qing scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "It's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. Since you have already drunk, I will do the same as you. Cheers!" After that, he also raised his glass and drank it all. Then the two sat down together.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoyanzi and the others all said in surprise: "Oh~" with smiles on their faces. After they all sat down, Xiaoyanzi stood up again and introduced them to Liu Qing and Liu Hong: "This is Yongqi, Erkang and Ertai, you should all remember them, right? This is my brother Xiaofeng, he was very worried when you suddenly disappeared! As for other things, I will slowly interrogate you later. This is Benjamin, hehe, you didn't expect that he is now with Anyaxin, they are the first couple among us!"

"This is Huo Yuqi, a friend we knew when we were little, and the son of Aunt Huo and Uncle Duanmu. As for why he has always used Aunt Huo's last name, according to him, it was because the Huo family kicked Aunt Huo out of the house, so Uncle Duanmu and Huo Yuqi felt sorry for Aunt Huo and decided to always use Aunt Huo's last name and treat her as her closest family member."

After Xiaoyanzi's introduction, Liu Qing and Liu Hong finally put the people in front of them together with the old friends in their memories. They couldn't help but feel deeply moved. Time flies, and everyone has grown up a lot, and each of them has changed a lot.

"I never thought that we would be able to meet again after ten years. This is really a great event worth celebrating! Come, let's raise our glasses together and drink them all! At the same time, I would like to congratulate us on making so many new friends!"

After all the dishes were served, Xiaoyanzi could no longer contain her joy and excitement, so she stood up, raised her glass, and invited everyone to toast together.

Everyone present had a happy smile on their face. They stood up, raised their glasses high, and said in unison: "Cheers!"

Looking at the return of old friends, everyone sat around a table, tasting delicious food and drinking, as if they were back in their childhood. Everyone's heart was filled with emotion and touched. At this time and place, everyone had only one thought - this feeling is really great.

Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Erkang, Ertai, Qing'er, Xiaofeng, Benjamin, Yongqi, Liu Qing, Liu Hong... they are finally gathered together again, and this perfect family is finally complete again.

Luo Junchen, Anyaxin, Qianyue, Mu Yunzhi and Huo Yuqi looked at each other with joy in their eyes. They were sincerely happy that they had such a group of like-minded and close friends.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner very much, which lasted for an hour and a half. While enjoying the food and drinking, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

After having a good meal and a good drink, the group prepared to leave the restaurant. At this time, Xiaoyanzi curiously asked Liu Qing and Liu Hong where they lived. Liu Qing told her that they lived in this inn. Hearing this, Huo Yuqi waved her hand generously, saying that Liu Qing and Liu Hong should not live in the inn anymore, and could move directly to the Lin Mansion.

Liu Qing and Liu Hong considered that staying in an inn would cost a lot of money, and the free accommodation provided by the Lin Mansion was better, so they gladly accepted Huo Yuqi's invitation and decided to check out of the inn that night.

However, when Liu Qing and Liu Hong came to the front desk of the inn to check out, the innkeeper said that if they checked out now, the room fee for tonight would not be refunded. Liu Qing and Liu Hong did not make things difficult for the innkeeper, but chose to stay in the inn tonight and go to Lin's house tomorrow.

Seeing that Liu Qing and Liu Hong insisted on staying in the inn, Xiaoyanzi decided to stay and accompany Liu Hong without hesitation. Ziwei was "abandoned" by Xiaoyanzi with a helpless look on her face, and Qing'er was also abandoned. The two watched Xiaoyanzi clinging to Liu Hong, and they couldn't help feeling helpless, but they finally chose to accommodate her.

Ziwei knew that Xiaoyanzi had a close relationship with her in both her past and present lives, but Xiaoyanzi and Liuhong were also close sisters, and they had not seen each other for ten years, so it was completely reasonable for her to want to know how Liuhong had been doing over the years. Therefore, she took Qing'er and others back to the Lin Mansion without hesitation, and planned to ask Ertai to send a set of clothes over later.

Ertai, who was a little regretful that he couldn't go back with his sweetheart, immediately nodded and agreed when he heard that he had something to do. He already had a plan in mind, and he would go to Liu Qing to sleep with her at night.

Late at night, in a room on the fourth floor of the inn, Xiaoyanzi and Liuhong were lying side by side on a bed, talking about what they had each missed in the past ten years.

Liu Hong learned that Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei had come here with the emperor's permission to gain experience in the martial arts world. The emperor also gave them three years, and when they returned, they would get married and have children.

Then, Xiaoyanzi told Liu Hong that among their companions, there were already four couples. Xiaoyanzi and Ertai, Ziwei and Erkang, Xiaofeng and Qing'er, and Benjamin and Anyaxin. Hearing this news, Liu Hong couldn't help laughing. It turned out that everyone had found their own love. However, when Liu Hong asked about her father, Xiaoyanzi suddenly fell silent.

Xiaoyanzi sighed softly. She had just learned that Liu Hong and the others were taken away by the Divine Condor Hero, so after thinking it over again, she decided to tell her the truth.

Then, Xiaoyanzi slowly spoke, "At the beginning, my father and my brother looked for you for a long time, but they couldn't find your whereabouts. My brother and the others were worried to death and almost dug three feet underground. Uncle Liu was even more anxious. He looked for you day and night, but your disappearance was so strange that there was no trace left at all, so they couldn't find you even if they wanted to."

“That year, after you two suddenly disappeared, my father wanted to ask the emperor to send people to look for you, but Uncle Liu said that he suspected that you were abducted or killed by the Japanese pirates, so he refused the emperor’s idea of ​​sending people to look for you, and planned to look for you bit by bit himself. So, Uncle Liu, we have been looking for you for ten years, and we haven’t met each other in these ten years. If we hadn’t come to Yunzhou and met my brother and others not long ago, I wouldn’t have known that you and Liu Qing had been missing for ten years. We thought you had been wandering around the world.” Xiaoyanzi said with some guilt.

When Liu Hong heard this, tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably, like a flood bursting through a dam. She had imagined countless possibilities, but she never expected that her father would be so persistent and never give up looking for them for ten years. However, at this moment, his whereabouts were still unknown, and his life or death was uncertain. This news was like a sharp dagger, ruthlessly piercing her heart, making her miserable, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

It was a pitch-black night, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Only the faint moonlight outside the window cast a ray of light on the two girls on the bed. They lay side by side, and one of the girls bit her lips tightly, trying to stop her tears from falling. However, the sadness in her heart surged into her heart like a tide, making her unable to control herself. She was afraid that the girl next to her would notice her sadness, so she tried her best to control her emotions.

However, in the silent night, any subtle sound would be particularly clear. Xiaoyanzi keenly caught her suppressed crying, and her heart ached. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly stretched out her arms, gently hugged Liu Hong into her arms, and gently comforted her: "It's not your fault, you didn't want this to happen."

"I know you are worried about them, but now is not the time to blame yourself. You must believe that they will be safe. Besides, we will release your news tomorrow. I think Uncle Liu will receive the news, and then you can be reunited.

Don't think too much. Uncle Liu was once the head of the escort agency. He is good at martial arts and has been through so many things. He will definitely be able to protect himself. Don't worry. We will find Uncle Liu's whereabouts as soon as possible."

Xiaoyanzi patted Liu Hong on the shoulder and spoke softly. Her eyes were firm and confident, as if she brought a glimmer of hope and courage to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong is a person with a strong character. If she hadn't thought of the father who had raised them with great difficulty and worry that he would be hurt and felt sorry for him having to endure the pain of separation from his children who had been missing for ten years, how could she have been so sad and burst into tears?

However, what Xiaoyanzi said did make sense. Instead of crying and worrying here, it would be better to wait until dawn and spread the news about her and Liu Qing. If that doesn't work, she could even release the bombshell news that they are the disciples of the Condor Hero. In this way, more people will surely know about this.

Moreover, there was only half a month left until the martial arts conference. By then, as long as she and Liu Qing could become famous and powerful in the martial arts world, would she still be afraid that her father would not be able to find them?

Liu Hong sniffed hard, trying to calm herself down, suppressing her inner grief. Then, she chatted with Xiaoyanzi about other things.

As the night deepened, the two chatted until late at night. Only when the moon hung high in the sky did they finally feel too sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

In the next room, Ertai shamelessly pestered Liu Qing and insisted on sleeping in the same bed with him, under the pretext of wanting to tell him about some of the experiences of his friends in the past ten years.

Liu Qing had no choice but to agree to this request. He knew that Ertai just wanted to be closer to Xiaoyanzi, but he also wanted to know what his friends had experienced in the past ten years.

The two of them lay on the bed, separated by a quilt, as if they didn't want to touch each other, and then they began to talk about what they had experienced in the past ten years.

Although the relationship between them was not as deep as that between girls, through chatting, they gradually got to know each other's living conditions over the years.

However, when Liu Qing learned that his father was missing, he was filled with worry and almost lost sleep. But he knew that only by keeping enough energy could he better find his father's whereabouts. So he decided to take a good rest first, so that it would be easier to find his father later. Then, he fell asleep without any burden.

However, Liu Qing didn't know that just opposite their room lived the father they had been looking for - Liu Chenfeng.

Likewise, Liu Chenfeng didn't know that the children he missed so much lived next door. At this moment, he was sitting alone by the window, toasting the bright moon, silently remembering his deceased wife, and deeply concerned about his children who had been missing for ten years.

His weather-beaten face revealed endless fatigue and sadness, and there was a hint of despair in his eyes.

"Yao'er, I'm really sorry! I actually lost our Qing'er and Hong'er... If I can't find them, I won't be able to face you in the nine springs even if I die!" Liu Chenfeng murmured in a low voice, tears welling up in his eyes, as if he wanted to pour out all his pain.

Liu Chenfeng looked up at the bright moon with a dazed look in his eyes. In a trance, he seemed to see a figure as gentle as water. That was his most beloved wife in his life - Ye Qingyao.

He seemed to hear her voice: "I know you didn't mean it, but our child is lost!" Her tone was filled with deep resentment and sadness.

"No, Qingyao, listen to me..." Liu Chenfeng tried to explain, but his wife turned and left without hesitation, leaving him with a resolute back.

Liu Chenfeng stretched out his hand, trying to catch the figure that was getting farther and farther away, but he only caught a piece of emptiness. A look of despair appeared on his face, and tears flowed unconsciously.

The cute faces of the two children flashed through his mind. Their smiles and innocent eyes made Liu Chenfeng feel a pang of pain in his heart.

Liu Chenfeng closed his eyes, tears falling like beads from a broken string, hitting the wine glass in his hand, splashing circles of ripples. He couldn't accept this reality, he blamed himself for abandoning the two children? Why didn't he protect them?

He was immersed in endless self-blame and guilt, feeling that he was not worthy of being a father. He didn't know how to face the fact that he had lost his child, nor did he know what hope he had for the future.

The night wind gently brushed his face, drying his tears, but the pain in his heart could never be wiped away. Liu Chenfeng sat there silently, watching the bright moon in the sky, praying that one day he could find his child and reunite his family.
