Chapter 1888 “Reunion (4)”
“Grandshifu, Mother brought me here to meet you all so I’m thrilled as it is, there’s no need to be so ceremonious.” Forcing a crescent shape with her eyes, Di Ling Yan was all smiles while saying this.
Zheng Qi became stunned by how much the child resembled the steambun, especially how she smiled. “Yan Yan, this child’s personality is so much like Xiachen when he was little. I knew your children would all be this astounding, hahaha!”
Laughing and laughing, his eyes soon became wet as the tears flowed out from the corner. My disciple is too outstanding that even us, her shifus, can no longer keep up….
“Shifu, you don’t need to be so emotional, am I not here with you three? Oh right, I’ve already told someone to go find Yi Yi to let her know of my return. Is the Lord around in the Holy Land as well?” Bai Yan wanted to lighten the mood so she quickly changed the topic.”
“Him? Uhh, ya, the Lord never left the Holy Land so he must be at the main estate. I know he will be very excited to see you come back. How long are you staying this time?” Replying was Zheng Qi the first elder, he’s anxiously awaiting the answer based on the way he’s rubbing his hands in a squirming manner.
Bai Yan naturally knew that they wanted her to stay a little longer; unfortunately, other things are awaiting her attention and they all knew that.
Apologetically shaking her head: “First Shifu, Second Shifu, Third Shifu, I’m sorry but I can only stay for a brief while. After saying hello to everyone here, I will have to go visit Grandfather and the rest of the family, so….”
This came as no surprise to the three Holy Land’s elders. There are a lot of matters on hand for this precious disciple of theirs. The fact that she found time to come see them was enough to soothe their hearts, albeit at a slight trade-off of disappointment.
“I see Yan Yan… No matter, the Holy Land will always be your home, and we will always be your family too. When you feel like returning here then you are always welcomed back. In the meantime, us three will watch over this island and the plants in your stead.”
A teacher always wishes for higher goals for their students. There’s a much bigger world awaiting this proud woman, that’s why they don’t want to be an anchor holding her back.
“Shifus…” Bai Yan’s heart fluttered with butterflies at their support. No matter what happens, these three silly shifus of hers would always keep a particular spot inside her heart. “I promise you, when I resolve everything and settle down, I will definitely come back and spend a good amount of time here, okay?”
Qiu Shu Rong (third) bellows out a laugh at this promise: “Sweetie, you don’t need to worry about us, go ahead and do what you need to do. This place is not going anywhere, and plus we are not so stingy to want to occupy you for ourselves. We only want you to be happy.”
“That’s right Yan Yan, second shifu here don’t know what to say here aside from telling you the Holy Island will always be here for you. If there is any danger in the future, you can always look to us for help. We will always have your back.” Ren Yi’s (second) look appeared heavy and severe.
“I understand…” Bai Yan slowly extended her arms out and hugged her second shifu’s old body before turning to embrace the other two as well.
“To me, you three are not only my shifus, but also my fathers. As the saying goes, a shifu is a shifu for life. Though your ages are a bit on the older side, but for me, your existence is equivalent to being my parents. There will always be a spot by my side for the three of you no matter how high I reach.”
