When Chaoyang brought Wei Ying home, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the room, and Wei Ying was still sound asleep under a sleeping spell. Chaoyang gently placed Wei Ying on the bed, ensuring he lay comfortably on the soft couch. He then carefully covered him with a warm blanket, fearing he might catch a cold. Then, he retrieved the soul-nourishing jade pendant from his bosom and carefully placed it beside his pillow, hoping he could feel the warmth and care of his parents in his dreams.

Afterwards, Chaoyang buried his parents' remains in a quiet valley on the back mountain, which was surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers blooming, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, ensuring that they could rest in peace without being disturbed by any outside world.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains into the room, Chaoyang gently dressed Wei Ying in pure white mourning clothes. He meticulously adjusted every wrinkle, ensuring Wei Ying looked dignified and solemn. Then, Chaoyang took Wei Ying's hand and led him through the quiet path to the tranquil cemetery.

A solemn and serene atmosphere permeated the cemetery, as if even the air had frozen. The footsteps of Chaoyang and Wei Ying were particularly clear in the empty cemetery. Chaoyang held Wei Ying's hand tightly, offering him silent support and comfort. Wei Ying's eyes were filled with sorrow, but in this quiet land, his mood seemed to gradually calm down.

Chaoyang led Wei Ying to a newly erected tombstone, engraved with the deceased's name and life story. Wei Ying gently stroked the tombstone, tears glistening in his eyes, his heart filled with longing and reluctance for the deceased.

Chaoyang stood quietly by, knowing that Wei Ying needed time to process all of this. He silently prayed for him, hoping that he could find some solace in this quiet cemetery.

Chaoyang knew that losing a loved one was painful, but life would go on, and Wei Ying needed to face the future bravely. With a heavy heart, Wei Ying walked heavily towards his parents' grave. He knelt before the cold tombstone, silently accompanying them, his heart filled with longing and guilt for his parents. It felt like he had a thousand words to say, but he couldn't find the words. Those words surged in his heart, but they could only turn into silent tears, quietly sliding down his cheeks.

Time slipped slowly in silence. The sun set, and night fell. A faint mist filled the valley, making it seem even more mysterious and tranquil. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, as if expressing their grief for the deceased. Wei Ying knelt before the tomb, unwilling to leave, as if only this could alleviate the guilt and longing in his heart.

For the entire day, Wei Ying knelt in front of the tomb, accompanying his parents until nightfall.

The twinkling stars in the night sky seemed to be silently watching him, accompanying him through this long and lonely night. The silence and tranquility in the valley made him feel more clearly the emptiness and sadness in his heart.

The time that has passed can never be retrieved, and we can only hide this longing and guilt deep in our hearts and turn it into motivation to move forward.

"Aying." A female voice sounded. It was Cangse Sanren.

Wei Ying raised his head, his eyes misty with tears as he looked towards the direction of the voice. He saw Cangse Sanren and Wei Changze looming in the night. She looked at him tenderly, her eyes filled with the glow of maternal love.

Wei Ying caught sight of the figure and rushed forward, intending to hug her, but accidentally passed through her. "Father, Mother," Wei Ying cried out with tears in his eyes.

"Aying, don't cry." Cangse Sanren said softly, his voice full of tenderness and comfort. When she wanted to wipe away his tears, she passed through them. Then she remembered that he was just a soul and could not be touched. He could only comfort her: "Aying, don't worry. Father and mother are gone, but uncle is still here, so you have to be strong. You can't indulge in sadness. You must live on with strength."

Wei Ying's eyes welled up with tears, his heart filled with endless longing and reluctance. He choked up and said, "Father and Mother, but I miss you so much. I really want to be with you again."

"Aying, you must remember that although your father and I are not by your side, our love and blessings will always be with you." Cangse Sanren said softly.

"Mother and father will be watching over you in heaven. You must listen to your uncle and protect yourself in the future." Cangse Sanren hugged Wei Ying and was very sad.

"Also, Ah Ying, Ah Mammy told you to remember the kindness others have shown you, not the kindness you have shown others. Don't hold so many things in your heart. Only then will you be happy and at ease."

"Mother, let me tell you the second half of this. If someone pushes you too far, you don't have to put up with them. You should remember the kindness others have shown you, and also remember the harm they have done you. A true gentleman must repay kindness and avenge hatred. That's what it means to be a gentleman."

I don't have much time left, and that time is given to me by others. If I could do it again, I would never care about the life and death of those mean people again.

"Mother, I understand. I will listen carefully to my uncle's teachings." Wei Ying had tears in his eyes, and he tried hard to hold back his tears so as not to worry his mother.

"Aying, mother is sorry for you." Cangse Sanren hugged Wei Ying tightly, his voice choked with sobs, unable to form words.

"Aying, daddy wants to tell you that I was originally a casual cultivator, but later I saved Jiang Fengmian, and he asked me to be a guest official in his house. Afterwards, I married your mother, and daddy did not accept any property from the Yunmeng Jiang family, and left the Yunmeng Jiang family. You should not go to Yunmeng, and don't listen to the words of that hypocrite Jiang Fengmian, because he is a calculating man. Aying, you must listen to your uncle." Wei Changze hugged the mother and son and told the story slowly.

"Father, I understand. I will be obedient." Wei Ying choked and sobbed. The family hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces.

Chaoyang stood by, watching this scene silently, his heart filled with emotion. He whispered to Wei Ying, "Aying, your parents' last wish was for you to soar freely between heaven and earth, and shine with your own unique light. You must be strong, be brave, and live your true self."

After hearing this, Zangse and Wei Changze nodded quickly, "Your uncle is right."

Wei Ying wiped his tears, took a deep breath, and nodded firmly.

Chaoyang couldn't help but said, "The time is almost up." Wei Changze turned his head and his eyes fell on the mother and son. There was deep sorrow in his eyes, but he was powerless.

He nodded gently, his voice heavy with a hint of solemnity: "Thank you very much. From now on, Aying will be in my care, sir."

Chaoyang shook his head and said firmly, "Don't worry, he is my nephew. I will protect him and make sure those despicable people can't hurt him. So, please rest assured."

Wei Changze bowed respectfully to Chaoyang, his heart filled with endless gratitude. He could see that although Chaoyang appeared indifferent, as long as it was someone he promised to protect, he would stick with them to the end.

Wei Ying said goodbye to them for a long time until he finally fell into a deep sleep.

"You two can rest assured and go to reincarnate." Chaoyang said while hugging Wei Ying.

"Can't we stay with him for a while longer?" Cangse Sanren asked anxiously with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"Your souls have long been damaged by the Soul Dispersion Formation. If you don't reincarnate, your souls will be scattered and you will never be able to reincarnate." Chaoyang explained in a heavy tone, "I will take good care of Aying, you can go without worry."

Cangse Sanren and Wei Changze exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness and reluctance. They knew Chaoyang was telling the truth; the damage to their souls and bodies meant they could no longer remain in the world.

"Aying, you must live well, we will silently protect you in another world." Cangse Sanren said softly, his voice full of reluctance and blessings.

Wei Changze looked at Chaoyang firmly and said, "Thank you, Master Chaoyang. I'll leave Aying in your care."

"By the way," Chaoyang suddenly thought of something and turned around and asked, "If Aying grows up in the future, should he avenge you?" There was a hint of concern and thought in his tone, as if he was considering a long-term and important issue.

Cangse Sanren and Wei Changze exchanged a glance, a complex emotion flickering in their eyes. Finally, Cangse Sanren spoke slowly, "Revenge is no joke. If Ah Ying can grow up safely, we will be content. If he ever understands the world's good and evil and understands his own path, then he will naturally make the right choice."

Wei Changze looked at Wei Ying in Chaoyang's arms with heartache and said, "Master Chaoyang, we trust you. We are relieved to have Ying by your side. As for revenge, if he has such a desire, let him decide for himself. We only hope that he can live a peaceful life, free from being plotted against and no longer involved in disputes."

Chaoyang was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "I understand. You guys go! I will protect him."

The souls of Cangse Sanren and Wei Changze gradually became transparent. They took one last reluctant look at the sleeping Wei Ying, then turned into two rays of light and disappeared into the night sky.

Chaoyang carried Wei Ying back home, gently placed him on the bed, and covered him with a blanket.
