Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

Chapter 99 Saying Goodbye to Parents

Seeing that Chu Qiuchi's tears were about to fall again, Chu Siyuan joked, "Oh dear, my precious daughter hasn't cried since she cried twice when she was born. It breaks my heart to see her crying like this today."

Chu Qiuchi was taken aback by her father's joke, then couldn't help but laugh, her tears gradually stopping as she laughed. She looked up at her father, her voice trembling with tears, "Dad, really, you're still joking with me at a time like this!"

Chu Siyuan smiled and patted her head: "You're just too strong. It's normal to shed a few tears now and then. Don't be so stubborn." His tone was gentle, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

Qiu Jingya couldn't help but smile, looking gently at Chu Qiuchi: "Your father is right, you're not made of iron, don't always be so strong." She reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Chu Qiuchi's eyes, "We'll always be here for you!"

Chu Yichen playfully chimed in, "Right, right, my sister isn't made of iron, she's a tiger. Today is a rare sight to see a tiger shed tears!"

These words immediately drew laughter from everyone. Chu Qiuchi gently nudged Yi Chen and said with a smile, "You brat, you dare laugh at me? I'll show you the power of a tiger later!"

Yi Chen immediately put on a scared expression and waved his hands, saying, "No, no, Sister Meng, spare me!" He quickly retreated and pretended to be scared as he hid behind Qiu Jingya.

Seeing how the group was interacting, Chu Siyuan and Qiu Jingya felt their worries ease slightly. They exchanged a knowing glance, and Qiu Jingya nodded slightly to Chu Siyuan. Chu Siyuan understood and spoke again, "Xiao Chi, Chenchen, now that things are cleared up, your mother and I will head back. Xiao Chi, please see us off!"

Chu Qiuchi nodded immediately and said softly, "Okay, Mom and Dad, I'll see you out now."

Seeing this, Chu Yichen was about to speak when Chu Qiuchi quickly gave him a wink. Chu Yichen changed the subject, saying, "Mom and Dad, I—okay, then let my sister see you out!"

Seeing this, the others immediately understood and waved goodbye to Chu Siyuan and Qiu Jingya.

After leaving the tent and walking towards the war zone, Chu Siyuan looked around to make sure no one was nearby before whispering, "Xiao Chi, your mother and I have carefully considered what you said before and decided to support you! They are all good kids of noble character and trustworthy. Although we don't require you to go back immediately, you need to report your progress to us regularly, understand?"

Qiu Jingya also said softly, "Yes, you must keep us updated on the progress so we don't worry. They are indeed good and trustworthy."

"Oh, right, we should be more cautious about the Third Princess. The things she represents are too complicated. Don't get too close to her easily. How many people from the royal family are simple? We need to act with care." Chu Siyuan said slowly, gazing into the distance.

After listening, Chu Qiuchi nodded seriously, "Yes, Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely report to you from time to time. As for the Third Princess, I will stay vigilant and know what to say and what not to say. We are not close yet, just getting along normally, and I know how to keep things in check."

Chu Siyuan nodded in satisfaction and patted Chu Qiuchi on the shoulder: "It's good that you know what you're doing. The royal family has been quiet for so many years, and suddenly sending a princess here is obviously suspicious. Things are about to get turbulent, so you all need to mature quickly!"

Chu Qiuchi nodded, his gaze also fixed on the distance ahead: "I understand, Dad. No matter what happens, I will remain vigilant, do what I should do, and become stronger as soon as possible."

At this moment, the two men's expressions were remarkably similar, their gazes equally deep, as if brewing a storm.

Chu Siyuan said softly, "Now that you have such a determination, we can rest assured. This world is not always smooth sailing. Since you have decided to continue on this path, you must be prepared to face all the storms."

Chu Qiuchi nodded slightly, her eyes filled with gratitude: "I understand. Thank you for your unconditional support and encouragement."

Qiu Jingya smiled, took her hand, and gently replied, "You are our child. Whether you do well or poorly, we will support you. Remember, no matter what, your family will always be your strongest support."

Chu Qiuchi felt a warmth in her heart, sensing the silent strength from her family. She looked up into the distance, her resolve growing stronger: "I will definitely become stronger and will not let you down."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Siyuan reminded him again: "Also, don't do anything stupid next time. Wouldn't you be losing out by using a strategy that hurts the enemy a thousand while also hurting yourself eight hundred?"

Chu Qiuchi's face immediately fell, and he scratched his head, saying weakly, "I know, I really acted impulsively this time! It felt good at the time, but the beatings afterward were even more painful."

Qiu Jingya smiled and tapped Chu Qiuchi's forehead with her finger. "You know, that's good. You should learn this from your father. He never suffers a loss; he only makes others suffer in silence." As she spoke, she looked at Chu Siyuan with a gentle expression.

Chu Siyuan immediately turned around and looked at Qiu Jingya with the same tenderness in his eyes.

Watching the two of them gazing at each other tenderly, Chu Qiuchi couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Mom and Dad, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you two to be showing off your affection like this without anyone else around?" Her words were teasing, but her eyes were full of warmth.

Qiu Jingya smiled gently and said, "I thought you would have gotten used to it by now after all these years."

Chu Qiuchi smiled mischievously, "Yes, yes, I'm used to it. You guys are the real love, my brother and I are just an accident!"

Chu Siyuan couldn't help but laugh: "You silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? You and Yichen are clearly our darlings, and we have always loved you both very much."

Chu Qiuchi nodded happily, "I know, we love you too. You are the best parents in the world. Although I didn't save the galaxy in my past life, I did save a beautiful young girl, so I am so lucky to be your child in this life."

Hearing this, Qiu Jingya couldn't help but chuckle: "My daughter has such a silver tongue! But we're very lucky to be your parents."

Chu Siyuan smiled and looked at Chu Qiuchi, his eyes full of affection: "Yes, you're even better at talking than I am now. You are our pride and our greatest happiness."

The two thought Chu Qiuchi was joking, but little did they know that Chu Qiuchi was revealing her biggest secret—the fundamental reason why she came into this world.

Her gaze darkened slightly, a warmth and resolve rising within her, as unspoken thoughts quietly surfaced. A gentle smile touched her lips, as if all her efforts and perseverance had become more meaningful because of this profound love and support.

After seeing her parents off, Chu Qiuchi returned to her tent alone, secretly planning how to explain her unusual mental state to her friends that night.
