Upon hearing Xue An’s promise, Auntie Pang was overwhelmed with joy and tears, and choked while saying: "Xiao An, this senior, thank you both, I..."
Zhuge Cang waved his hand and said with a carefree smile: "There’s no need for such formality, I have been enjoying your meals for free for the past year, consider it as my payment."
Xue An also said, "Yes, Auntie Pang, this is something we should do, and rest assured, we will definitely help Uncle Xie recover to normal!"
Auntie Pang looked at Old Xie, who sat beside her like a wooden figure, with tearful eyes and whispered, "Actually, it’s okay even if he can’t be healed!"
The dining table gradually fell silent.
Auntie Pang lowered her head, "At first, I couldn’t accept it either, forcing Old Xie to speak every day, wanting him to return to how he was, but gradually, I became less fixated on this because I’ve come to realize!"
At this point, Auntie Pang raised her head, forcing a smile more pained than crying, and said with a trembling voice: "Xiao An, Auntie Pang thanks you for your kindness, but if he can’t be healed, Auntie Pang won’t blame you, truly!"
"Because compared to those who have completely lost their loved ones, I am already very lucky, at least I can see him every day when I open my eyes, even if he remembers nothing. As long as he stays by my side, I ask for nothing more!"
Everyone fell silent.
An Yan’s eyes glimmered with tears, how could she not understand Auntie Pang’s feelings now?
When Xue An disappeared back then, didn’t she live through days of agonizing torment every day!
Even recalling it made An Yan tremble slightly all over.
As if sensing An Yan’s unease, Xue An gently placed his hand on her knee.
An Yan lifted her head and glanced at him.
Xue An smiled at her, and although he said nothing, his eyes were full of tenderness.
Seeing this, Fan Mengxue, sitting opposite, lowered her head in melancholy.
At this moment, sensing the somber atmosphere at the dining table, Zhuge Cang quickly said: "Alright, alright, today is Xiao An’s return day, let’s all be happy!"
Auntie Pang hurriedly wiped away her tears upon hearing this, "Yes, yes, yes! Today is a joyous day, let’s not talk about unhappy things, come, Auntie Pang will use drinks as wine, let’s all have a cup!"
Everyone moved in unison.
"Come on! Let’s have a drink!"
The atmosphere instantly became lively.
And just as everyone was exchanging drinks and laughing heartily.
In a small alley opposite Old Xie’s Restaurant, Du Fan, who was meditating with eyes closed in a car, suddenly opened his eyes.
In an instant, a powerful and overwhelming aura came rushing out.
Moreover, a brilliant light flickered in his eyes, making it difficult to look directly at him.
Du Fan slowly exhaled, the light in his eyes gradually fading, and the previously fierce aura receded.
Yet, in his every move, there still occasionally emerged a domineering and peerless air.
If anyone were beside him witnessing this, they would surely gasp in astonishment, for Du Fan had evidently become a strongholder of the Longevity Realm.
Such a level of existence, even in today’s world, would be considered a powerful being.
Du Fan naturally felt the change in his realm, showing a look of excitement on his face.
Because not long ago, after drinking the tea that Xue An rewarded him with, he felt as if a fire was burning within him, with pure spiritual energy persistently washing away impurities within him.
Du Fan knew it was all due to that cup of spiritual tea, becoming an opportunity for him to break through his current level.
One must know that due to limitations in talent and aptitude, Du Fan had been stuck at the Loose Immortal Realm, without any progress for a very long time.
To this, Du Fan had originally resigned himself.
After all, if it hadn’t been for Xue An’s gift of dragon liver, he might not have even reached the Heavenly Human Realm, let alone the Loose Immortal Realm.
