Chapter 327
Two days later, at the Lin Manor.
"Come, everyone—let's raise a glass to celebrate Xiaoxiao's recovery!" Liu Wujun lifted his cup, gesturing for the others to join.
Lin Shunhe, Yao Shan, Lin Hui, and Lin Xiaoliu were all present.
Lin Hui sat beside Liu Xiao, who had fully recovered. Aside from a lingering paleness and slight frailty, she looked just as she always had.
They all raised their glasses and drank.
Lin Xiaoliu had grown quite mature. Sitting beside her was Tao Changsheng; the two had long since pledged themselves to one another and were soon to be married.
"If only Mother had lived a little longer," Liu Wujun murmured. "And Master Mingde, too."
Though no one said it aloud, they all knew that Mingde and Liu Shenglan succumbing to Corruption was what had driven Lin Hui to seek out a special cultivation method and artifact to save Liu Xiao, who had likewise begun to show signs of Corruption.
And yet, looking at Liu Xiao's weakened state, a quiet unease lingered among them.
