Phi-Fic Chapter 98 Moved to Tears
Chapter 98 Moved to Tears
“Xiao Chi, why don’t you come back with us for a while? Aren’t you able to absorb other people’s spiritual energy to repair your spiritual space? Stay home for a while, and your mother and I will help you recover as soon as possible! We are very worried about you staying here!” Chu Siyuan was silent for a moment before speaking slowly, a trace of worry in his eyes.
Chu Qiuchi was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then shook her head slightly. "Dad, we are still in the training period, so I'm afraid we can't leave easily. Besides, I don't want to leave like this. We don't have any other missions at the moment. We just do some routine training every day, which won't affect my recovery."
Chu Siyuan gazed intently at her, his brow furrowed, his worry even more evident in his eyes. "Xiao Chi, you must understand, this is a war zone. A beast tide could break out at any moment. Your current mental state cannot withstand any more mental attacks. Can training be more important than your life?"
Qiu Jingya followed closely behind, her tone filled with anxiety: "Yes, Xiao Chi, your father is right. No matter how important the training is, it can't compare to your life. Your most important task now is to repair your mental space as soon as possible. If it's not repaired, how can we feel at ease letting you stay here any longer?"
Looking at her parents' worried eyes, Chu Qiuchi felt conflicted and unsure how to respond. She understood their concerns, but she was equally unwilling to give up this opportunity for training.
Seeing that Chu Qiuchi remained silent, Qiu Jingya's anxiety became even more apparent. "Why are you so stubborn, child!"
Chu Qiuchi lowered her head, feeling a pang of guilt. After a long while, she raised her head, looked directly into her parents' eyes, and said softly, "Mom and Dad, can I tell Minghui and the others about this? If they help me, I should be able to recover faster!"
Chu Siyuan remained silent for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, before finally speaking: "They are indeed good children, but people's hearts are fickle. Do you really want to do this?"
Chu Qiuchi nodded seriously, her eyes firm. "Mom and Dad, after so many years together, I feel they are trustworthy. I want to give it a try! People's hearts are fickle, and I can't guarantee they won't change in the future, but I have you. You are my greatest strength, and I will continue to strengthen myself so that I won't give others the opportunity to hurt me."
Seeing their daughter's stubborn expression, Chu Siyuan and Qiu Jingya exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.
Chu Siyuan sighed, his tone heavy: "Our family has a weak foundation. Once word gets out about your extraordinary adventures, it will surely attract a lot of covetous eyes. My father and mother are most worried that even if they give their lives, they may not be able to protect you!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qiuchi's pupils dilated sharply, a dull pain shot through his heart, and his eyes gradually welled up with tears. He hurriedly said, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't think things through. You can't get hurt, or I'm afraid I'll never forgive myself!"
Seeing his beloved daughter like this, Chu Siyuan's eyes were filled with heartache. He couldn't help but step forward and gently pat her head, saying softly, "You silly girl, we haven't been in any trouble yet, why are you in such a hurry! What I said just now wasn't to say that your thinking was wrong. We've watched Minghui and the other children grow up, and we know them quite well. They're all good kids. I was just reminding you to consider things more comprehensively."
Hearing her father's gentle comfort, Chu Qiuchi could no longer hold back. She threw herself into Chu Siyuan's arms and burst into tears. "Dad, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made you worry and brought so much danger to our family. It's all my fault... Waaah... What if I cause you trouble..."
Chu Siyuan gently patted Chu Qiuchi's back to comfort her, "Don't cry, you really made us worry a lot. As for bringing danger to our family, that's still uncertain, don't be afraid."
He took a deep breath and continued, "Besides, you're our precious child. Isn't it only natural for your parents to protect you? With every benefit comes a corresponding risk; God is fair. If anything happens, our whole family can face it together, right? Don't be afraid! Your parents are still waiting for you to lead our family to the top, to stand proudly above all others!"
Hearing this, Chu Qiuchi instantly burst into laughter through her tears, her tearful eyes gleaming with determination. She laughed and cried at the same time, gently patting Chu Siyuan's shoulder, and said sweetly, "Daddy!" Her voice was slightly nasal, yet full of dependence.
Qiu Jingya stepped forward and gently patted Chu Qiuchi's head, saying softly, "You're such a grown-up, yet you're crying like a child. Remember, we're family. There's no such thing as being implicated or not. We'll face anything together!"
Chu Yichen also ran over and said, "Yes, sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you too!" He patted his chest, his expression serious, his eyes filled with determination.
Just then, Puyang Minghui's voice suddenly came from outside, growing louder as it approached: "I think I heard Qiu Chi crying. Could it be that Uncle Chu scolded her and made her cry?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qiuchi immediately wriggled out of Chu Siyuan's arms, quickly wiped away her tears, tidied her makeup, and tried her best to look less disheveled.
A moment later, the tent flap was pulled open, and Puyang Minghui and several others hurried in. When they saw Chu Qiuchi standing in front of Chu Siyuan with red eyes, Puyang Minghui's heart tightened, her eyes filled with worry. She stepped forward excitedly and said, "Uncle Chu, please don't scold Qiuchi. This isn't her fault. It's all my fault that Qiuchi fell into a coma, which allowed Cui Shaoming to take advantage of her vulnerability and almost hurt her. That's why she fought back. If you want to scold someone, scold me!"
Nalan Xingyao also stepped forward and said, "Yes, Uncle Chu, it's really not Qiu Chi's fault. It was Cui Shaoming who went too far!"
Ji Moyu nodded solemnly and said, "It's not her fault!"
Seeing this, Ao Nanxi chimed in, "Yes, I've heard about it too. It's not Qiu Chi's fault; it's that Cui Shaoming is just too despicable!"
Hearing everyone's concerned words, Chu Qiuchi felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She quickly explained, "Minghui, it's not what you think! Dad didn't scold me!"
Seeing his daughter's anxious expression, Chu Siyuan smiled slightly and said gently, "Don't worry, all of you. Qiu Chi wasn't scolded. I just talked to her about some things. She's too stubborn and always hides things from us so we won't worry. You all need to keep a close eye on her for me."
Upon hearing this, Puyang Minghui and the others breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Puyang Minghui patted her chest and assured him, "Uncle Chu, don't worry, we'll definitely keep a close eye on her for you!" As she spoke, her voice trailed off, and she said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Uncle Chu, we misunderstood you just now!"
Chu Siyuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's alright, I understand your concerns. You're all doing this for Qiu Chi's sake, and as her father, I'm very grateful for your concern."
Qiu Jingya smiled and looked at everyone, her eyes filled with gratitude and relief: "Yes, we are very happy to see that you care about Xiao Chi so much. Thank you for your care and concern for her."
Puyang Minghui smiled and nodded gently: "This is what we should do, because Qiuchi is our most important friend."
The others nodded seriously in agreement.
"Thank you, thank you for your concern."
Chu Qiuchi's eyes welled up with tears again, her heart overflowing with emotion. Looking deeply at her family and friends who had always been by her side, she felt an immense warmth and unwavering support.
