Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 439 Kindness

"From what you and Le Qiu said, I felt your adoptive mother's strength, but I can also taste that there is something different between you and her."

Xi Yeming asked curiously: "Some different substance, what is it?"

Hua Wan expressed her own opinion, "Your adoptive mother is very strong and capable. She adopted you three children and rescued you from your colleagues. She raised you while avoiding being found by others. She is a competent mother."

"I think so."

Xi Yeming naturally agreed with Senior Hua Wan's opinion.

"But you're not as strong as she is. What's more, the quality you show seems to be kindness."

"Kind……?"

"You took over a magician organization with a bleak future. You would not harm your fellow women just to face off against them one day. You spared their lives several times in battle. I also heard that you tried your best to protect the mermaids when fighting against the sea monsters."

Xi Yeming felt a little embarrassed by these compliments. When he thought back, he seemed not to have done as well as Senior Hua Wan had imagined.

"More importantly, I think you are more like my sister."

"Eh, huh?" Xi Yeming was so surprised that his expression changed.

After defeating Gongshu Cha and Shangguan Zixiu, he had heard the name "Hua Xian" from Senior Hua Wan. That was her sister, Shengyi Shizhi, who was killed by ordinary people in the past.

"You don't shed tears for your own hardships, but show compassion for the misfortunes of others. You are fragile and happy, and you embark on the journey without even realizing it, full of unnecessary thoughts..."

Regarding the last sentence "unnecessary thoughts", Xi Yeming originally thought that Hua Wan would criticize him for this, but the reality turned out to be the opposite of what he expected.

"It is this extra quality of yours that makes you so beautiful in this world..."

Hua Wan looked up at the moon that illuminated the night sky, wondering if she would recall her sister's face again in her heart.

“So, how about thinking about it more?”

"Think about it?"

"That's right," Hua Wan used her own painful life lessons to tell Xi Yeming, "Put yourself in the shoes of the people you are troubled by and think about what kind of life your biological mother and companions are going through."

Xi Yeming's eyes gradually dilated and he fell into memories of the past.

"child……!"

"You and I are made for each other."

The words of the Queen and Angelina echoed in his mind. He really ignored their feelings.

Although the Queen is indeed the Emperor's wife, and may be the murderer who fueled the war, or may be related to his revenge, her feelings for him are truly pure love without any falsehood.

As for Angelina, there is no need to say more. She has always stood by him from the beginning to the end, and she has helped him more. However, Xi Yeming thought that there was a gap between them because of his momentary confusion.

Xi Yeming's eyes gradually lit up, and he murmured, "I seem to... understand something."

Hua Wan and Xi Leqiu smiled almost at the same time. The time they spent accompanying Xi Yeming throughout the night was not wasted.

"Thank you, senior and auntie, I'm finally not feeling so bad anymore."

He stood up from the roof and glanced at the two seniors beside him.

"I think it's time to do what I'm supposed to do."

"Then let's call it a night."

Hua Wan and Xi Leqiu stood up from the eaves, brushed the dust off their clothes and prepared to say goodbye to Xi Yeming.

“Don’t forget your physical health.”

"Speaking of which, why are my aunt and senior here?"

When they were about to part, Xi Yeming remembered that this palace was not a place for the two elders to go.

Hua Wan then smiled and said, "Haha, seeing that you are depressed, I just come to enlighten you."

Xi Yeming denied it: "No, I'm asking why you came to this palace?"

"..."

The previously gentle atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the looks of the three people changed accordingly.

"Why don't we just call it a night tonight and pretend we've never met..."

The frozen atmosphere was enough to prove that Hua Wan and Xi Leqiu came to the palace with some purpose. The closest clue to them was Angelina.

"Hmph, then let's say goodbye now."

Hua Wan's holy cavalry combined together to act as a flying device, holding Xi Leqiu's hand and slowly flew away from the palace.

"Goodbye, senior and aunt."

Xi Yeming was left alone on the eaves. The night wind blew over his body again, and this time he couldn't help but shiver.

"a little cold……"

-

In the morning, Angelina, who was not very accustomed to her new residence, woke up early. Although she was stripped of her military power and property, her duties were still there. What's more, Xi Yeming secretly returned the military token and state order to her. In this way, she was just a figurehead boss.

She sat in a living room that was different from before and brewed tea, wanting to enjoy a refined morning tea time.

"Angelina."

There came a voice calling her in the corridor. Angelina looked in the direction of the voice and found Xi Yeming standing there.

"What's wrong? Are you going to question me about your adoptive mother again?"

Angelina seemed to be used to it. She didn't take her hands off the teapot and kept talking to Xi Yeming with her head down.

"I am sure I want to question you, but it is not about my adoptive mother Xi Yungeng," Xi Yeming stepped forward a little, "but about the Queen."

The spoon used to stir the tea leaves shook violently, almost spilling the scalding tea. Angelina put down the spoon in her hand in confusion.

"Why?"

"No reason, because I decided to help the queen," Xi Yeming answered seriously, "and I am also prepared to work hard."

Even the emperor and Angelina couldn't cure the disease, so Xi Yeming might not be able to cure it, but he was willing to give it a try as a way of repaying the queen for treating him as her son.

"Hmm, you always talk to yourself like this. Suddenly, you're like a different person. It really makes me..."

Angelina was hesitant to speak. This was one of the things she liked about Xi Yeming: he could bring renewed energy and hope in a place where no one could see.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will tell you about the Queen's illness."

Angelina held her forehead and began to search for information in her mind.

"The Queen Mother's illness is a mental illness."

"Heart disease?"

Angelina sighed helplessly and said, "It's probably a lovesickness-type illness."

"Has it never been treated?"

"I have been treated, but the famous doctors in the country were unable to help. The confusion of her mind caused the Queen Mother's body to overflow with too much magic power, which led to overwork and other symptoms."

Xi Yeming asked the crucial question: "Is there no cure?"

Angelina's upper body lay on the sofa, her thoughts drifting to the scene in the past when she stood in front of the snow-capped mountain.

"There is a hope..."
