Shi Feiyang saw this and his heart was filled with pain.

He gently extended his hand, tenderly wiping away her tears with his fingertips, comforting her, "Xue'Er, do not be sad. Once you have a smooth delivery, we will return to the Jiangnan Headquarters together and live a peaceful life. For now, stay here; my mother-in-law and all the Altar Masters will surely take good care of you, so I will feel at ease while traveling outside. When the child is born, I will always be by your side and we will never part again."

His words were firm and warm, like a stream of warmth, flowing through Yang Xue'Er's heart.

Yang Xue'Er slightly nodded, though she was full of reluctance, she knew well that her husband's decision was all for her and the unborn child's sake.

Then, with deep respect, Shi Feiyang walked steadily towards Su Yao's residence.

Stepping into the tranquil and serene courtyard, a gentle breeze brushed past, carrying the rich fragrance of flowers.

From a distance, he saw Su Yao sitting leisurely in the pavilion, gently swaying a round fan in her hand, appearing carefree. Shi Feiyang quickened his pace, his expression solemn, and respectfully approached Su Yao. He slightly bowed, dropped to one knee, his movements smooth like flowing clouds and water, fully demonstrating sincerity.

Shi Feiyang slowly untied the mysterious deerskin bag from his waist. The bag, polished by time, exuded a simple and unadorned luster, as if it held countless stories.

His gaze was focused and devout, he gently reached into the bag and took out ten gold bricks.

The gold bricks, caressed by sunlight, glistened with dazzling light, blindingly beautiful.

Shi Feiyang raised the gold bricks high with both hands, his arms straight, his fingertips trembling slightly, as if excited yet nervous.

He raised his head, looking resolutely at Su Yao, sincerely saying, "Mother-in-law, it is entirely thanks to your constant guidance and the careful protection of everyone at Qingfeng Pavilion that Xue'Er was able to return safely this time. Though these ten gold bricks cannot repay even a fraction of your kindness, they represent this son's pure sincerity. Xue'Er is kind-hearted, gentle, and extraordinarily intelligent. Being able to marry her is indeed the greatest blessing of my life."

As Shi Feiyang spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Su Yao's eyes, filled with gratitude and respect.

Seeing this, Su Yao's originally composed face was immediately filled with surprise and comfort. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Her eyes widened slightly, a gentle light flickered in them, and the corners of her mouth quickly lifted, blooming into a radiant smile like flowers in spring.

She quickly stood up, moving briskly, almost running to Shi Feiyang's side.

Su Yao extended her hands, gently helping Shi Feiyang up, gripping his arms slightly, as if transmitting this care and acceptance through her hands.

Looking at Shi Feiyang, her face brimming with smiles, she said, "My good son-in-law, please rise quickly. You flatter me too much. Xue'Er being able to marry you is truly the blessing she earned in her previous life. You rescue the helpless and uphold justice in the Jianghu, with a reputation far and wide, and you care for Xue'Er dearly. As her mother-in-law, I'm filled with joy, how could I still accept your lavish gift? You should quickly take back the gold bricks; our Qingfeng Pavilion has never lacked these worldly possessions." As Su Yao spoke, her eyes were filled with maternal love, warming Shi Feiyang's heart like the spring sun.

However, Shi Feiyang continued to insist, once again bowing deeply, his body bending extremely low, almost touching the ground with his forehead.

Slowly straightening up, his gaze was firm, exuding an indisputable determination, he said, "Mother-in-law, this cannot be compared to worldly possessions, rather it's this son's filial piety. If you do not accept it, I am truly uneasy in my heart. In the future, should Mother-in-law have any instructions, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water." As Shi Feiyang spoke, his lips pressed tightly, trembling slightly, revealing his inner excitement and persistence.

Seeing his sincerity, a hint of emotion flashed in Su Yao's eyes, with her eyes slightly reddening.

She let out a gentle sigh, showing a smile that was helpless yet filled with affection. She slowly extended her hands, receiving the gold bricks, gently rubbing the surface, feeling the weight of this sentiment.

Looking once more at Shi Feiyang, her eyes were full of appreciation and fondness for this son-in-law, she said, "Alright, alright, I will accept my good son-in-law's heartfelt intention." At this moment, Su Yao's gaze bore an elder's recognition for the younger and the treasuring of this filial piety.

Then, Shi Feiyang turned around, leading the valiant heroes of the Heroic Sakura to the center of the courtyard. Yang Xue'Er had long been waiting there, her eyes full of reluctance.

Shi Feiyang walked to her side, gently holding her hand, softly saying, "Xue'Er, take care of yourself, wait for my return."

Yang Xue'Er slightly nodded, tears welling up in her eyes, softly saying, "Take care of yourself, I will wait for you."

Afterwards, Shi Feiyang bid farewell to Su Yao and the seven Altar Masters one by one, exchanging words of goodwill with everyone.

Shi Feiyang mounted his horse, giving an order, and the heroes spurred their horses, galloping towards Cyan Simurgh Peak.

The early summer breeze, like a gentle fairy, softly caressed everyone's faces, bringing with it a refreshing coolness, seemingly able to dispel all the world's heat.

The wildflowers by the roadside bloomed wantonly, red like fire, pink like the clouds, white like snow, vibrant and competing in beauty, adding much vitality and liveliness to the journey. In the distance, the mountains rose and fell in undulating waves, shrouded in mist, resembling a lovely landscape painting slowly unfolding, dreamlike and enchanting, inviting one to linger. Soon, they arrived at Cyan Simurgh Peak.

The scenery at Cyan Simurgh Peak was beautiful, like a paradise on earth. The peaks soared into the clouds, like a sharp sword thrust into the sky, surrounded by lush green trees, with abundant foliage, resembling a vast ocean of greenery.

The birdsong echoed incessantly, clear and melodious, as if playing a beautiful natural symphony.
