Chapter 422 – Great Ending
The voice claiming that the restoration department had won kept echoing within the lounge.
“What happened?”
Qin Yu froze and subconsciously looked at the connection cabinets for the restoration department and destruction department. Su Wan and Xu Ce just walked out of the cabins and the two saw each other.
Su Wan smiled at Xu Ce. “Congratulations.”
“Likewise.”
Xu Ce nodded gaintly at Su Wan. Everything was explained through their communication.
Qin Yu was speechless.
Why do you guys have to be so mutually understanding?
The last connection cabin of the destruction department opened and Ye Xin walked out calmly.
“Department head, I…”
Su Wan walked forward and hesitated.
“It’s fine.”
Ye Xin shook her head and recalled what Su Rui said to her before she died. Ye Xin smiled. “Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
Su Wan also smiled and nodded.
In the mission world, she opened the teleportation scroll but didn’t use it, instead throwing it at Su Rui.
Su Wan said nothing. Su Rui also smiled silently at her.
They knew each other so well that no words were needed.
Watching Ye Xin and Su Rui’s figures disappearing after one another, when the world crumbled, Xu Ce couldn’t help but look at Su Wan and say faintly, “I am suddenly jealous of you guys.”
“This is a good thing. At least you learned a new feeling.”
Su Wan winked at him before she glanced at Xuan Yuanshi. “Xu Ce, we’re going back now. But what about Xiao Shi?”
“Young master, don’t leave me.”
Xuan Yuanshi heard their conversation and knew that they were going to return to the unfamiliar world. She panicked and held onto Xu Ce’s hands tightly.
The girl’s hands were unusually cold.
Xu Ce stared at the girl, stunned. “Xiao Shi, if you leave with me, you’re bound to become a mission enforcer within the lost time-s.p.a.ce. Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
Xu Ce nodded, seeing Xuan Yuanshi’s determined look. “Okay, I’ll take you back. But we’re in the examination lounge right now. If you go back with me, you’ll be teleported back to the restoration department. Wait for me there. Don’t leave, okay?”
“Okay.”
Xuan Yuanshi nodded repeatedly. She didn’t know what the lost time-s.p.a.ce was nor what Xu Ce meant by the examination and restoration department. However, these weren’t important.
The important thing was that he was willing to take her.
From now on, wherever he goes…
The world completely collapsed and the three souls vanished.
In Tianyun Sect right now, after Ye Xin could react, Su Rui’s figure appeared right after her.
Needless to say, Su Rui was too quick. She didn’t even get a chance to retaliate.
Killed in one shot.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
She understood the saying now.
Su Wan, look at you!
“Ye Xin, thank you.”
Su Rui’s indifferent voice rang in Ye Xin’s ears. Before losing her consciousness completely, she finally understood.
Su Wan, you’re really blessed.
I’m so jealous of you and Su Rui.
Many people searched during their entire lives and still weren’t able to find their soulmates.
However, Su Wan was able to meet Su Rui amongst the vast people.
This was some sort of unnatural luck.
After the examination, everyone naturally returned to their own departments. After everyone left the headquarters, Xu Ce went to the top floor where the headquarters was.
That was the big boss’ room.
“You’re back.”
The man quietly turned around hearing Xu Ce’s footsteps.
It was Qi Yue.
Still the familiar face but the imposing manner and pressure he eluded made people stop at a far distance.
“You figured out everything?”
Qi Yue took a step forward and looked at Xu Ce with a dignified gaze. “Do you need me to remove your seal for you?”
Qi Yue saw everything that happened in the examination world. Indeed, he sealed Xu Ce’s emotions under a whim of anger because of Xu Qin’s death back then.
It wasn’t because he was angry at him but rather he wanted to protect him.
In the past, Xu Qin used to be the most outstanding female mission enforcer but “love” ruined her entire life.
Qi Yue disdained Lieyan and thought he wasn’t worthy of Qin’er.
Qin’er died to the so-called love. In order to prevent the same thing from happening, Qi Yue sealed his emotions.
There wouldn’t be pain if not for love.
No love, no pain.
Right. Qi Yue thought this. But watching the examination and Xu Ce’s performance, seeing Su Wan and Su Rui’s relationship, not only did it enlighten the Flame Immortal but it also touched Qi Yue.
As it turned out, the strongest relationship was trust and accompaniment.
No matter what happened, no matter what becomes of you, I won’t ever leave you.
Qi Yue felt a bit guilty when he saw Xu Ce now. If he hadn’t sealed Xu Ce’s emotions, then he wouldn’t have missed Su Wan.
Did he want his seal to be removed?
Xu Ce froze before smiling. “I don’t need you to. I think I’m good like this.”
“A-Ce!”
Qi Yue looked shockingly at Xu Ce. “Don’t you think it’s unfortunate? Don’t you want to have feelings like regular people?”
Unfortunate…
Xu Ce looked down and subconsciously thought of the deep scene in his heart again.
Through the blaze, Su Wan was wearing a thin white dress in front of him.
Of course he found it unfortunate.
That might be the biggest regret in his life. If time could go backwards and he could start over again…
Xu Ce’s gaze flickered then he smiled at Qi Yue. “I will find a way to make up for my regret. As for the seal…I believe that once I meet the right person, it will remove on its own.”
There was always a type of relationship that could breakthrough everything.
Lost time-s.p.a.ce, destruction department.
Half a month had pa.s.sed since the examination. Ding Jiajia had been promoted to the second leading role of the destruction department. She stood in Room 2 of the teleportation room, in front of the connection cabin. This was the first time she revealed a reluctant expression on her exquisite and beautiful loli face.
Su Wan, you’re so mean. You didn’t even tell me that you were going to go!
I’m unhappy. I’m moody. I…miss you!
Needless to say, when they were in the abyss, Ding Jiajia and Su Wan had been together for so long that they had become friends. Now that Su Wan used all her points in exchange for her freedom, Ding Jiajia felt sad but happy at the same time for her.
Su Wan ah, Su Wan. Your General Su is good in every aspect. He’s handsome and he has a great figure too. But you’re so stubborn. You gave up a huge forest for a tree!
Sigh. Nevermind. I’m going to do my mission now. I’ll help you inspect every single handsome man there is in the world. Right.
Lost time-s.p.a.ce, restoration department.
Su Rui’s departure and Qi Yue’s disappearance caused the department to become silent.
Thankfully, with Xuan Yuanshi, this newbie, joining the department, the male colleagues were naturally really enthusiastic towards this cold beauty. Unfortunately, she only talked to Boss Xu. In her eyes, other people were just people.
“Young master.”
Xuan Yuanshi came out of the mission world and came to Xu Ce’s office as routine. She got there and saw Xu Ce fixing some virtual models of the world.
“Young master, what are you doing?” Xuan Yuanshi looked at Xu Ce curiously.
“I…want to rebuild a collapsed world.”
Longing flickered through his eyes. That world had collapsed already. It had dissipated into countless planes. The only thing he could do was to recover everything in this virtual world.
It was virtually realistic.
This might be the only chance he could make up for his regret in this life.
“Young master, do you need my help?”
Xuan Yuanshi asked sincerely, seeing Xu Ce’s serious expression.
Xu Ce shook his head. “Xiao Shi, you can go rest. Right! Don’t call me young master anymore. You can just call me by my name.”
Xuan Yuanshi’s gaze dimmed but then she lifted her head and smiled at him. “I can just call you young master.”
Only by calling you this can I prove you’ve been living in my world.
In a certain advanced time-s.p.a.ce, China, Yanjing.
Su Rui and Su Wan were both excited to be here again.
They hadn’t left for long but according to the lost time-s.p.a.ce and the proportions of the world, twenty years had pa.s.sed.
“Wife, guess how Susu and Ling Li will react when they see us?”
Hm.
Su Wan muttered to herself. Su Rui’s appearance hadn’t changed but Su Wan had recovered her original appearance and was in her actual body. She wasn’t sure if they’d recognize her.
The two arrived in the center of Yanjing. It was completely different from their memories.
The new technologies in this world were changing every day.
Now, robots have become legal citizens of this world. Like normal people, they could go to school, go to work, get married, and even have kids.
It seemed like Ling Li handled the business career Su Rui left for him well.
“You’re Mr. and Mrs. Su right?”
While they were lamenting, a floating car stopped at the two. A butler-like robot respectfully asked.
“We are. You are…”
“h.e.l.lo! Young madam asked me to bring you guys home.”
The butler-like robot opened his smart screen, revealing little Su’s beautiful face. “Mommy! Daddy!”
Seeing Su Rui and Su Wan, little Su called out excitedly. Although Su Wan’s appearance changed, little Su knew that the only woman who could stand next to her father was only her mother, Su Wan.
“Susu.”
Su Wan and Su Rui were extremely excited as well.
“It’s great. You guys are finally back. I’ve been waiting for you guys all these years. Come back quickly. I…”
Before she could finish her words, the screen turned into falling snowflakes.
Uh.
“Madam, Mister, don’t be nervous.”
The butler-like robot was used to this familiar situation. “Young miss is just fooling around and purposely cutting off the signal. Ah. It’s already the fourth time this week. The young madam had short circuit the call so many times.”
Su Wan and Su Rui were speechless.
Young miss? Susu and Ling Li’s daughter?
What little devil have you guys given birth to?
Su Wan and Su Rui were upset after finding out they had upgraded to “grandfather and grandmother.”
Du Family’s residence within Yanjing.
Susu was fuming with age. She wasn’t on fire, just furious.
“Ling Aisu, stay there!”
A certain loli: stand there? You think I’m three years old? I’m clear six okay!
“Daddy! Daddy!”
The little loli ran into Ling Li’s arms. Although he was in his early thirties, he was really young and handsome.
He opened his arms to hug his little precious daughter. He looked at his daughter and said, “Aisu, you made your mommy mad again. Didn’t daddy tell you to not interfere with your mommy’s communication signal? It will short circuit.”
She blinked her eyes. “Daddy, when did you tell me this? You clearly said that you like mommy fuming so then you can do whatever you want…”
Ling Li was speechless.
Whose brat is this?
Susu: Ling Li!
Ling Li: Cough. Susu, Susu, look. You caught your mother and father through the satellite signal. They’re really back. Um, let’s go to the door and welcome them.
The electronic screen in Du Family’s residence was now revealing the scene where Su Wan and Su Rui were inside the car.
As expected, Susu’s attention was shifted. Ling Li knew that all these years, she had missed her parents. Now that they were back, it was no longer a sore point for her anymore.
But…
His father and mother-in-law looked younger than himself. It made him feel bad.
This was a strange family but it was also a joyous and harmonious family that led others to be jealous.
Twenty years pa.s.sed. Du Family’s residence remained the same. All these years, Ling Li and Susu would have people come to paint and renovate the residence from time to time. Everything remained the same, especially Su Wan and Su Rui. Everything was spotless.
Susu still remembered their final words before leaving.
They said they would come back one day.
In this world, everyone would lie to you but your lover and parents would never.
The luxurious floating car stopped steadily in front of Du Family’s residence.
Su Wan and Su Rui got out of the car in succession. Ling Li and Susu stood at the door with their precious daughter, all wearing happy expressions.
“We’re home.”
Su Rui turned and smiled at Su Wna.
There was a place in the world that one would always yearn for. That was “home.”
A real home had a lover, family, and everyone you missed.
“Mn, finally. We’re home now.”
Su Wan grasped Su Rui’s hands tightly.
Su Rui, thank you. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for giving me a complete family.
“Welcome home!”
The family of three exclaimed happily.
They had been looking forward to this reunion for too long.
