Chapter 677 Epilogue: Silence 3
He packed his bags and set out on his journey home with all his hopes and expectations for the future.
"Goodbye, ruins."
Leng Ji looked back at the place where he had been imprisoned, his heart filled with gratitude.
He knew that it was these ruins that taught him to cherish, be strong and be brave.
And these valuable experiences will become the most precious wealth in his life.
Just like that, Leng Ji embarked on his journey home with a brand new heart.
He knows that the road ahead may not be smooth, but as long as there is light in his heart, it can illuminate the direction forward.
And this time, he is no longer confused, because he has found his own happiness and hope.
Leng Ji walked out of the ruins step by step along the secret passage.
When the first ray of real sunlight shone on his face unreservedly, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It was the smell of freedom and the breath of new life.
His heart was filled with unprecedented excitement and joy, as if the whole world was cheering for him.
"I am back."
Leng Ji whispered to himself, these four words contain too much emotion.
He opened his eyes and the world before him seemed so familiar and yet so strange. Every tree and every cloud seemed to be telling him the beauty of life.
He took a step forward and started on the road home.
The scenery along the way was like a painting, slowly unfolding before his eyes.
He passed by the streets that he once was familiar with. The shops and pedestrians that he once thought he would never see again now appeared so vividly in his sight.
He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if these scenes were welcoming his return.
Leng Ji quickened his pace. He couldn't wait to meet Leng Feng and Leng Ying, to tell them about his experiences and to thank them for their existence.
He knew that it was their friendship and trust that allowed him to find light in his darkest moments.
When he finally stood in front of the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, his hands trembled slightly.
He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
The door slowly opened and an old figure appeared in his sight.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and all the past and all the emotions gathered into a warm current, warming their hearts.
"Cold and lonely?"
The old butler looked at him in surprise, with disbelief in his eyes.
Leng Ji smiled and nodded, his eyes full of gratitude and apology.
"I'm back, Butler Jin." he said softly.
Butler Jin's eyes were moist, and he hugged Leng Ji tightly, as if he was afraid that he would disappear again.
"You are finally back."
He said with sobs.
Leng Ji patted his back gently, feeling the long-lost warmth and comfort.
"Butler, where are the prince and princess? I am here to admit my fault!"
Leng Ji knelt on the ground as he spoke.
Butler Jin tremblingly helped Leng Ji up.
"The prince and princess left the palace a long time ago. As for where they went, I don't know. Leng Ying is in charge of everything in the palace now. You can go talk to him. I think you will have a lot to talk about."
Leng Ji nodded.
Afterwards, Leng Ji went to find Leng Ying again.
When they met again, the tacit understanding and friendship seemed to have never been interrupted.
Although they once served different masters, when they met again, they were in different moods but had endless things to say.
As soon as Leng Ji stepped into Leng Ying's "secret base", he found that it was actually the small house full of miscellaneous items in the backyard of the palace.
I was surrounded by a strong tea aroma and an inexplicable sense of technology.
Leng Ying was sitting in front of a workbench made of old wooden boards and a pile of spare parts, concentrating on tinkering with an unidentified object with a screwdriver that looked older than he was.
"Hey, isn't this the missing population cold and lonely? What, you finally found your conscience and came back to trouble the brothers?"
Leng Ying didn't even raise his head, he teased, but his hands didn't stop moving at all.
Leng Ji pretended to be hurt and covered his heart.
"Oh, my heart is broken like the tea cake on the table. Brother Lengying, is this how you welcome me?"
Leng Ying finally put down the screwdriver in his hand, turned around, and had an unconcealable smile on his face.
"Alright, alright, stop acting. I know it wasn't easy for you to come back this time, so tell me, did you get into some big trouble outside and need me to clean up your mess for you?"
Leng Ji scratched his head awkwardly.
"Hehe, you still understand me. But this time I'm not causing trouble. I wanted to find the prince and princess to apologize, but they weren't at home. What do you think happened?"
Leng Ying raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? Apologize? I think you want to get close to us 'left-behind children' and test the waters first, right?"
Leng Ji slapped his thigh and said, "The one who knows me best is Leng Ying! Come on, let's chat while drinking tea. I have a lot of new things here, I guarantee they will open your eyes."
So, the two of them sat down at the rickety old wooden table and began their "tea party".
Leng Ji talked about his adventures outside, the latest gossip in the martial arts world, and how he found his way home with great difficulty. He spoke in a very exaggerated manner, and Leng Ying was sometimes stunned and sometimes laughed out loud.
"Wait, you said you met a mysterious organization calling itself the 'Space-Time Administration' and were almost sent to save the world?"
Leng Ying's face turned red from trying to hold back his laughter.
"Yes, but unfortunately I refused. I said I had to come back and apologize to the prince and princess. After all, I left the mansion for so many years without permission, and I felt bad."
Leng Ji answered seriously.
"Haha, Leng Ji, ah Leng Ji, how afraid are you of the prince and princess?"
Leng Ying finally couldn't help laughing.
Just then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a childish voice.
"Uncle Leng Ying, Uncle Leng Ji, you are here! Mom said dinner is ready and asked everyone to go and eat!"
Leng Ji and Leng Ying looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise: "Mom? Could it be..."
They saw a little kid standing at the door, blinking his big eyes and looking at them innocently.
Leng Ying quickly stood up and picked up the little guy: "Little guy, are you Leng Feng's son?"
The little guy nodded vigorously: "Yes, mom also brought back a super handsome dad! Let's go quickly, or the food will get cold!"
Leng Ji and Leng Ying smiled at each other, secretly rejoicing in their hearts.
It seems that this time, not only did I find my home, but I also caught up with the reunion at the palace! This meal is destined to be extraordinary!
