Under the setting sun, Yan Shou put his hands on the fence of the arch bridge over the lotus pond and looked at his child seriously.
The lotus pond seems to have cut off the hustle and bustle outside. Just looking at this scene, no one would have thought that there were more than 400 people outside the Folklore Research Association, and that conflicts might break out at any time.
"You said they are siblings, or brothers and sisters."
Yan Shouyi's sudden question caught Lin Zitong off guard.
She touched her belly and said hesitantly: "It depends on who is born first."
"But if I'm not sure who is older and who is younger, how can I make a decision and how can I explain it to the children who are left behind in the future."
Yan Shouyi's words almost broke Lin Zitong's heart.
With red eyes, she hugged Yan Shouyi and comforted: "No matter who is sent away, he (she) will always be our child, and our family of four will definitely be reunited one day."
Yan Shouyi felt like something was stuck in his throat.
He was silent for a while, then finally stretched out his hand and broke off a lotus flower.
The young soul wrapped in the lotus turned its body uncomfortably, its little brows knitted together.
"You will be the elder brother from now on. You must work with your father to protect your sister and mother."
Yan Shouyi held back his tears and whispered to the child's soul.
The brother seemed to feel that he was about to be separated from his sister. He turned sideways and faced her direction, stretched out his little hand, trying to grab something.
Lin Zitong finally couldn't hold it back and burst into tears.
"Although the man named Yu is a nerd, he is a good person and he will definitely protect you. Trust him."
Yan Shou made up his mind and turned around with the lotus.
"My child...my child..."
Lin Zitong took two steps to catch up, but fell to the ground.
Women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong, but at this moment, Lin Zitong seemed to have had all her strength drained away, and could not even keep up with Yan Shouyi's pace.
Yan Shou turned his back to Lin Zitong and whispered: "I will send my brother out, and you stay here with your sister. Take care of yourself and don't be too sad."
After saying that, Yan Shouyi walked out of the lotus pond with his head lowered.
Lin Zitong could only lean on the railing of the arch bridge and kept mumbling to herself: "It's all my mother's fault... It's all my fault that my mother failed to protect you..."
…
Outside the lotus pond, everyone fell into silence when they saw Yan Shouyi coming out with the lotus flowers.
Only then did they realize that even giving the child to Yu Luming was such a difficult decision.
Yan Shouyi seemed to be carrying a huge mountain on his body, and every step seemed extremely heavy, as if all his strength had been exhausted.
The person who understands Yan Shouyi best is his grandmother Wen Yuxian.
But she just patted Yan Shouyi on the shoulder and walked into the lotus pond to take care of Lin Zitong who couldn't come out.
Luo Ning gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really want to give the child to Yu Luming?"
"Is there no better way?" Ah Gong was also extremely sad.
Wang Ji took a deep breath: "Sooner or later, we will bring the child back."
"Brother Yan..."
Long Feicheng walked up to Yan Shouyi, stepped forward and glanced at his brother in the lotus. He twitched his nose and said, "Don't do what you don't want to do, and don't wrong yourself."
"I have made up my mind."
Yan Shou raised his head, but there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.
He strode outside.
Others quickly followed.
On the high tower, the Dog Taoist was so angry that he chewed up the cigarette butts and swallowed them in his stomach.
"Shouyi really wants to hand over the child!" said the Dog Taoist, "Brother, that is your grandson!"
Yan Chou said nothing and followed Yan Shouyi closely with his eyes.
He watched Yan Shouyi walk out of the gate of the Folklore Research Association holding a lotus flower.
The moment he appeared, Yu Luming's expression softened and he nodded to Yan Shou.
Hong Sifang and others felt as uncomfortable as eating flies.
They had planned for so long, spent so much thought, and brought more than 400 people.
What happened in exchange for this thing?
Yan Shou came to Yu Luming, took one last look at the child, and whispered:
"He is my elder brother, his surname is Yu. You must...take good care of him for me."
Yu Luming nodded, stretched out his hands, and carefully hugged the lotus.
"I promise you, I will protect him with my life."
After hugging Lotus, Yu Luming took two steps back.
He turned back and looked at everyone with warning eyes:
"It's time for the matter to come to an end. You should leave Rongcheng immediately. The Tianshi Mansion will send people to investigate the Emei sect and restore the truth. Before that, I don't want anyone to provoke conflicts between the two sects."
Ordinary disciples are actually already clear-headed at this time.
Now that the Heavenly Master has come forward and Yan Shouyi has compromised, it would be too deliberate if we continue to make trouble.
After all, everyone is still here for fame and fortune, so there is no need to fight each other.
As a result, many people turned around and prepared to leave.
Hong Sifang snorted coldly and said to Yan Shouyi: "You are lucky this time!"
"Let's go and deal with these monsters later!"
The members of the Folklore Research Association were extremely frustrated.
But no matter what, this should be the best result right now.
Seeing that the matter was finally resolved, Yu Luming planned to leave with his children.
But at this moment.
A sharp sword suddenly stabbed out from Hong Sifang's chest!
Blood splatters!
No one expected that something unexpected would happen at this time!
Hong Sifang looked at the sharp sword thrust out of his chest in shock. His first suspicion was Yan Shouyi.
But Yan Shouyi stood at the gate of the Folklore Research Association, never leaving Hong Sifang's sight.
Moreover, what Yan Shouyi used was clearly a sword!
Tang Zhongxue and Master Henghua stood beside Hong Sifang and saw the perpetrator clearly.
This person is Yan Shouyi!
Another Yan Shouyi!
Two Yan Shouyi appeared at the door of the Folklore Research Association!
Behind Hong Sifang, Yan Shouyi, who had gauze wrapped around his head and was blind in one eye, spurted out man-eating rage from his remaining eye. He held a bronze sword in his hand.
Covered with blood everywhere!
"Yan Shouyi, what are you doing?!" Yu Luming said angrily.
If we kill people now, won't all our previous efforts be in vain?
If you were ready to take action early on, why would you compromise with me?
Aren't you afraid of leaving your child to me...
Suddenly, Yu Luming realized everything.
Yan Shouyi's patience may have been worn down by Hong Sifang and others, and he has even given up hope of reconciliation between the two factions.
He chose to hand over the child to Yu Luming because he did not really want the child to become a hostage of a famous family.
But I hope that after completely breaking up, Yu Luming can do his best to protect this child.
In this way, even if Yan Shouyi falls in the battle between the two factions, the Yan family will at least have a trace of blood left...
