CHAPTER 914: CHAPTER 914: VOW

"You’ve already sworn an oath, fine, let me do the same.

I, Tan Qiweng, swear that as long as I can return, I will spend five hundred years with, what’s your name?"

"I’m Gu Ersheng."

"Alright, if I can return to my original world, return to Mom’s side, then I will spend five hundred years with Gu Ersheng, but only if I agree to it."

Tan Shaoting’s eyes were red; he simply couldn’t move now. Nor could he speak. When his daughter’s oath was acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao, he was able to move again.

"Qiweng, it can’t be like this."

Qi Yan and Qi Hong also had red eyes. The brothers glared at Gu Ersheng with hostility.

Feeling the pressure from their glares, Gu Ersheng felt extremely stressed.

But his goal was achieved; he didn’t expect that the destined person he found would have such a tragic family background.

"I assure you, I will absolutely not harm this little girl in the slightest."

Tan Shaoting swore in his heart that he must become strong in the future. He absolutely could not be restricted like this again.

The father and sons didn’t care about Gu Ersheng’s oath, they were all focused on the daughter and sister.

"We need to leave now." Qiweng emphasized again.

Gu Ersheng shook his head "It’s not impossible now, but this planet will be depleted because of my spellcasting. Do you understand depletion? It means Spiritual Power will vanish instantly, and all Spiritual Energy will disperse in an instant."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Why are you so anxious at such a young age? You appeared in the secret realm, leave from the secret realm. Also, I promise, if you find the entrance yourself, all our promises are void."

"So we have to wait then?" Qiweng squinted, knowing they can’t engage in such harmful selfish actions.

Gu Ersheng nodded. "Yes."

"Alright. Swear, if we find the entrance ourselves, all our oaths are invalid, and when I don’t call you, don’t appear."

Gu Ersheng nodded and directly swore.

With that, Qiweng breathed a sigh of relief.

The three sons were hit hard. No one spoke, feeling too powerless; they didn’t even know who this Gu Ersheng was but knew they were no match for him now.

"Fine, it’s not easy for me to come out here. Just wait for you to call me." Gu Ersheng said, a light entered through Qiweng’s brow.

Tan Shaoting turned pale with fright. "Qiweng, I’m entering your Sea of Consciousness to check."

With that, he sent his Divine Sense into his daughter’s Sea of Consciousness, checking several times but found nothing, and rechecked the brow, still finding nothing.

"Dad, it’s okay. There’s no way it’ll do me any harm."

Tan Shaoting felt helpless once again, wondering why he was so incompetent.

"Dad, our chances of returning this time are even bigger."

Although Tan Shaoting’s expression was complicated, he still nodded.

The four of them didn’t cultivate, simply lying together.

They would normally chatter incessantly, but today they didn’t utter a word, completely drained from the blow.

In the following days, the three men of the family were diligent in their cultivation. They don’t want to experience such helplessness again.

Even when someone spoke, it was only a few words, without participating in anything else; focusing solely on cultivation, cultivation.

Gu Ersheng stood before the Water Mirror, watching their movements, his perpetually expressionless face showing a hint of helplessness.

He didn’t want this. But seeing the little girl so worried, he showed up.

In truth, without him, they wouldn’t have been able to find the time-space tunnel at all. Wasn’t he being considerate?

Tan Shaoting and his sons were eagerly waiting to meet their mother this year. Perhaps this is the last time they can see her. After all, they’ll enter the secret realm next year. On July 10, the secret realm opens, and on July 15, they’ll be inside the secret realm. By then, who knows if they’ll meet again.

Yuanyuan was also preparing to go to the seaside; with more than a month remaining before July 15, she needed to arrange her work ahead.

She had a lot to hand over to Lu Chengmin after finishing work.

"Xiao Su, you won’t be gone long, so ten days off should be enough, right?"

Yuanyuan shook her head "I don’t know either, I don’t want a specific number of days off, don’t know what might happen. Whenever I leave, I’ll make clear transitions with you."

Lu Chengmin’s usual friendly smile vanished. "Xiao Su, what do you mean by that?"

"Boss, I mean nothing else. I don’t know what might happen. Besides, if something comes up, my secretary knows a lot."

"Xiao Su, don’t go."

Yuanyuan suddenly regarded Lu Chengmin seriously "No, I can give up anything, but I must see them."

Lu Chengmin’s brows furrowed. He had heard about their situation, and everyone showed great sympathy whenever they mentioned Tan Shaoting.

"But it’s nearly been four years. What are you holding onto? If something happens to you, what then?"

"Boss, they must be alive, they must be alive."

Lu Chengmin looked at the determined woman in front of him, unsure what to say, honesty could be too hurtful.

"Xiao Su, can you give me a promise, not as a superior, but as a friend, that you won’t do anything foolish and will definitely return?"

Yuanyuan looked at Lu Chengmin, "Boss, I will cherish myself, but are promises really useful? I need to wait for the children to return to me, it’s been four years, they’re seven now, they were only three when they left me. I’ve missed the four years of accompanying them."

Lu Chengmin sighed, to lose both husband and children, what a terrible experience for one woman.

"Alright, I hope you remember, you’re no longer just yourself, you have to consider your work, you have to carry responsibility."

"Understood, boss, don’t worry, I know what’s important."

At night, Lu Chengmin intentionally invited Xu Guozhi for dinner and also asked Zeng Zhenqing to join.

"Seeing her like that, I almost teared up, yet she showed no other expression."

Zeng Zhenqing instantly lost his appetite. "Actually, she can only act like this because she lost her past memories.

You don’t know, when Tan Shaoting had an accident, she swam halfway in the sea alone.

Xiao Su is a very sensitive person, I’m glad she’s lost her memory or else who knows what might happen. She might not have been able to bear it. Four years, it’s been four years.

But I still vividly remember the way they both looked the first time at the border train station. I even remember our conversation.

You don’t know, Xiao Su initially didn’t care for Tan Shaoting, it seemed she didn’t fancy him. Yet Xiao Tan, being clever, somehow got Xiao Su to agree."
