The Ancient Realm Goddess
I'll Be Worth It
Ming An who was already feeling numb could only see the departure of everyone. He saw his two sons leaving him. The treasure that he thought to be his only protector, turned out not to end as expected.
He fell to his knees on the ground. He was left alone in the temple. She suddenly recalled Chao Xing's message telling her to take good care of her children. Now he has hurt them.
"Xing'er, your husband is unfilial. I made a lot of mistakes, please forgive me," he murmured softly. Maybe he felt regret, but his heart refused to do so. "Kids left me, maybe this is something I should've picked up."
Ming An closed his eyes. He's been through a lot in this world. Many joys and sorrows have occurred, but this is the most relieving as well as painful moment. No one knew that this was the beginning for him to live under the shadow of regret.

Currently Ming Yuxia had returned to her home. Ming Xuan who had previously fainted had now regained her senses. The man did not say many things, probably already guessing what had happened.
"Sister, after this I will go far away with Miss Xinyu. Don't know when I can return" Ming Yuxia said.
Ming Xuan was shocked by that sentence. Although she knew that her sister traveled a lot but only this time the girl said she wanted to go far. Is he really going far?
"Are you sure?" ming Xuan asked to be sure.
Ming Yuxia nodded. He also had a dream to get out of this slum. He wanted to adventure even further, because he knew there was still a vast world beyond this land. There are many things he still has to learn.
"You must take care of your own safety" Ming Xuan said.
Ming Yuxia nodded her head. "What about Brother?"
"I'm still thinking about it. Maybe I'll go for training too." Ming Xuan smiled.
"Take good care of yourself" said Ming Yuxia. His relationship with Ming Xuan might not look so close, but they were still an elder brother and sister. They still love each other.
Ming Xuan nodded. After that, the two of them left the house to meet Qing Yue'er and Jing Ling who had been waiting since. It doesn't take much to say goodbye, they hate such sad things.
"Are you done?" qing Yue'er asked who was replied with a nod by Ming Yuxia. "Alright, at least we should return the ring first."
"Miss Xinyu, I have to leave my sister to you" Ming Xuan said.
"It's okay. We'll take care of each other." Qing Yue'er smiled faintly.
Silently Ming Yuxia also smiled faintly. Although he did not know where Qing Yue'er was going, but he had confidence that following her was a wise decision.
"Let's go now."
"Wait!"
Suddenly there was another voice coming from outside the courtyard. That person was none other than Daoist Black Three who wanted to meet them. He chuckled while rubbing his chin, "Girl, you don't know yet 'Why do I want you to meet my granddaughter for?"
Qing Yue'er raised both her eyebrows. He had indeed not been told his exact destination and he also did not know what the name of the Black Three Daoist granddaughter was. They have not discussed the matter in more detail.
"So what should we say?" qing Yue'er asked.
Daoist Black Thre reached into his sleeve, then revealed a small pouch that had no idea what it contained. He handed the pouch to Qing Yue'er. "Give this to my granddaughter. His name is Yan Xiao."
Qing Yue'er received the pouch. "This only?"
"Yes, I just want you to hand it to him. Just tell me it's my gift" said Daoist Black Three.
"Alright, I'll definitely pass it on."
"Then go now. Be careful when stepping on foreign soil."
Qing Yue'er nodded calmly. "Then we'll go now." The three of them began to fly away from Ming Yuxia's house. The first goal was to return the spirit ring to the Chao family, after which they would head straight for the Celestial Academy.

Qing Yue'er sipped tea from her cup. It tastes a little special unlike the taste of tea in general. There may be a honey aroma added to it.
"Can he do it alone?" Jing Ling asked. He was a little worried that it turned out that the Chao family still harbored hatred towards Ming Yuxia and ended up injuring her.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine" Qing Yue'er said.
Jing Ling did not say anything more. He prefers to order food as a stomach booster. He hasn't eaten since morning.
Meanwhile, Ming Yuxia was already facing Chao Long. He took out a spirit ring and handed it to the man. Although he was alone and many pairs of eyes still hated him, but his guts never receded.
"As I said, I'm going to return something my father has stolen" he said.
Chao Long received the spirit ring. His face looked brighter at this moment. That treasure was something they had wanted for many years. They had tried to take it but it still took so long.
He kept the ring, then said sincerely to Ming Yuxia, "You are a good girl. We'll accept you if we want to go back to this family."
Ming Yuxia was stunned. He had not expected Chao Long to say such a thing. However it was not a desirable thing, so he rejected Chao Long's good intentions. "I said thank you, but I can't stay.
"It's okay. Our family has also been wrong, so I want to apologize for past events" Chao Long said.
"My father was also wrong, I apologize for his mistake."
Chao Long patted Ming Yuxia on the shoulder. Now he did not want to prolong this matter. Most importantly their family treasure was already back in his hands, and that was more than enough.
"I'll leave now" said Ming Yuxia.
Chao Long could only smile when he saw Ming Yuxia's departure. The girl has grown into an adult. Sometimes he regretted about Chao Xing's death, but it was just the past. Now everything is fair. Lives have been avenged with lives and property that is their right has been returned. Maybe this is the end it should be.

When Qing Yue'er and Jing Ling were enjoying eating, Ming Yuxia came to meet them. Now the girl doesn't look so cold. There was a hint of warmth on his face, perhaps because he had finally released his pressure.
"Eat it first. Soon the night will come down, maybe we will spend the night in this city first" Qing Yue'er said.
"No problem" said Ming Yuxia.
"By the way, this is a full moon. I heard that Li town has a tradition every night of the full moon" Jing Ling said enthusiastically.
"What kind of tradition is that?"
"You definitely don't know that yet. It's a tradition of sending lanterns to the sky. At that time the Gods will give answers to the prayers written in each lantern."
Qing Yue'er quietly nodded. Dewa .. does someone who bears such a title really have power over human affairs? Humans adore him so much, are Gods really capable of realizing their prayers?
"Are you curious about the gods?" Suddenly Mo Jingtian spoke to him.
"What if I'm curious? Is there a way to become a God?" qing Yue'er asked.
"Of course there is. It will be very far away, you are still not worthy," Mo Jingtian replied so plainly.
Qing Yue'er grimaced. Why is the man's mouth so honest? He took a deep breath, before finally exhaling slowly. "I'll be worthy, later."
Mo Jingtian smiled at her smile. "Then I'll trust you."
