Many descendants

Ming Linyuan looked out the window. Xiao Bao'er, Xiao Jiu, and several classmates had arrived together, chatting and laughing, looking very happy...

“Old Ming,” Zong Sili called out.

Ming Linyuan turned around, his eyes momentarily dazed, but he regained his composure and greeted him with a smile, "Please sit down."

Rong Ruo said, "Yan Yan is busy cooking for the children and can't come over for the time being. How have you been lately? I heard you developed a divine crystal mine and unearthed a rare and top-grade blue crystal."

Ming Linyuan nodded, "Yes, I brought some with me. Old Master, here you go."

He then tossed a storage bag to Zongshi Li.

Zong Sili smiled and accepted it, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll put it in the university museum later so the students can see it."

"And this, give it to Yan Yan in your name." Ming Linyuan took out another storage bag.

Zong Sili chuckled, "Give it to her yourself."

“She won’t accept my things.” Ming Linyuan gave a bitter smile. Su Yan didn’t even bother to see him. Several times, she was selling goods at her stall outside, and he could only approach her and exchange a few words with her by being a customer.

“With Manman and the others around, Yan Yan won’t ignore you.” Rong Ruo sat down at the table.

Zulu came over, carrying a pizza. "Hurry up, you stole this without telling the kids."

Zong Sili smiled and asked, "Yan Yan's cooking skills?"

“Yes.” Zulu put down the pizza and called to Ming Linyuan, “The Hundred Flavors Stew will take a little longer to fully develop its flavor. Let’s have some pizza to tide us over first.”

Ming Linyuan nodded, "No rush, you can take care of other things first."

Rong Ruo picked up a slice of pizza. The long, white cheese stretched out, and the pizza was filled with fruit and meat. He took a bite and praised it highly: "Yan Yan's skills are still the best. Even Zulu can't make this better."

Ming Linyuan smelled the spices in the air. "There are five spices that are not from the animal world."

"You can smell that?" Zong Sili asked in surprise, as he couldn't taste it at all.

Ming Linyuan nodded, "I have always been the supplier of spices for Dingshilou, and there is no spice from any industry that I do not know."

"Amazing!" Rong Ruo handed Ming Linyuan a slice of pizza.

Ming Linyuan took it, took a bite... and remained silent for a long time.

……

After lunch, the children went to school together.

Su Yan saw them into the school gate and patted their round bellies... After these two are born, most of these children will probably not be in university anymore.

"Yan Yan." Ming Linyuan came over, holding Manman's hand.

Su Yan looked at Manman first, and then said to Ming Linyuan, "Hmm."

"Mom, I'm going to school now." Manman happily ran towards the school gate, looking back as she ran.

Su Yan waved her hand, "Keep an eye on Xiao Qi, don't let her get into a fight."

"Okay, Mother," Manman replied and ran off into the distance.

"Is business slow down?" Su Yan asked.

Ming Linyuan was surprised that Su Yan would ask him this question. He paused for a moment before replying, "I haven't been busy lately. I even went to the Immortal Realm to pay respects to my mother. I also went to the Western Immortal Realm, but Fa'er was in seclusion, so I didn't see him."

“Fal?” Su Yan suddenly remembered the letter that Ethan had asked his adopted son to deliver to her.

He retrieved the letter from his system space... Greetings, Your Majesty! Far has been in seclusion for a thousand years; something may have happened. If Your Majesty has the time, please visit him to put my mind at ease...

Su Yan put the letter away again and said to Ming Linyuan, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

“Okay, you go ahead with your work,” Ming Linyuan replied.

Su Yan teleported away.

Ming Linyuan returned to Dingshilou and saw Zulu busy preparing the flower stand.

"What is this going to do?"

"The Hundred Flowers Clan and the Divine Wolf Clan are holding an engagement banquet. These are flower stands sent by the Hundred Flowers Clan. They will need to arrange some flowers and such."

Speaking of engagements, Ming Linyuan remembered that he almost got engaged to Qiongwu. "Sigh!"

“It’s all in the past.” Zulu patted Ming Linyuan on the shoulder. “Yan Yan may be going to the system world.”

"Go to the system world? Is she about to give birth?"

"No, it's for Chizuru's coming-of-age ceremony. These children will be going too. They weren't planning on coming back anyway."

"Suddenly I realized that I didn't spend enough time with them when they were young."

"I'm already very satisfied."

"Hmm, sometimes I wonder, what would have happened if Yan Yan hadn't appeared?"

“There are no ifs,” Zulu laughed.

"Yes, but I really wish I could turn back time and give me another chance."

……

The Western Immortal Realm.

Su Yan arrived at the Holy Palace.

The current ruler of the Western Celestial Realm is a four-winged angel from the Angel race. He inherited the lineage of Fal's elder brother and was named Pram Saint by Fal. He is exceptionally talented in governance.

During the thousand years that Fa'er was in seclusion, under Pu Lan's rule, the Western Immortal Realm not only developed steadily, but its overall strength had also clearly surpassed that of the Eastern Immortal Realm.

Su Yan looked at the young man in front of her, who had some freckles on his face and a calm and wise personality. "Actually, you look alike with the late Sage King."

"Yes, His Majesty said so too," Pulan replied respectfully.

Su Yan arrived at the defensive array in front of the Rose Garden, which had been sealed off by the array for a thousand years.

"Did you tell Ethan that you were worried something might happen to Far?"

"Your Majesty's longest seclusion record was 598 years. This time it has lasted for 1000 years, which is truly exceptional compared to Your Majesty's previous seclusion record."

"Hmm." Su Yan rubbed the angel wing mark on the back of her hand, wondering whether she should summon him. However, if he was in seclusion at a very critical moment, his efforts might be in vain because of her summoning.

"I'll stay here and watch over him. You go and do your work."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Pulan turned back and left.

"Xiao Mei, can you go inside the defensive array to check on Fal's condition?" Su Yan asked Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei replied: 【Okay, host.】

Su Yan nodded. "Could you check what's wrong with Farr right now?"

Soon, Xiaomei said to Su Yan, "Fal isn't inside."

[What?] Su Yan was surprised, but without doubting Xiao Mei's judgment, she broke through the defensive formation and entered the rose garden.

The roses inside, due to years of neglect and lack of care, have withered and died, and are now in a messy state, completely losing their former beautiful and delicate appearance.

It is clear that Far has been gone for a long time.

[Let's trace back the timeline to see when he left.]

[Yes, host. 】

The surrounding scenery began to change... and finally, a single image was captured.

Fal stood up, opened the River of Time, entered it, and vanished!

"What time period did he enter? Can it be traced back?" Su Yan asked Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei: [We cannot trace back to the beginning of time, but he entered the river of time sixteen years ago.]

Su Yan thought for a moment, "Can I summon him?"

Xiao Mei: [If the main system and the host are not on the same timeline, and the host can still summon it, then perhaps Fal can too. The host can give it a try.]

A needle appeared in Su Yan's left hand, and without hesitation, she pierced the angel's wings...

However, Far did not respond to the summons!
