"This….This…." Huoyun Lingling and Huoyun Yanyan stammered. Their faces were full of incredulity, and they even thought they were dreaming right now.

Meanwhile, Huoyun Yurou's gaze fixated on the token in Yun Lintian's hand without even blinking once. There was no word, no emotion coming out of her. It was as though she was transformed into a statue.

"Two years ago, I happened to meet someone called Little Flame. I received his kindness, and later I learned his identity. He entrusted me to bring this token back to his mother." Yun Lintian explained in a deep voice.

"To tell Senior the truth, I hesitated for a long time about whether I should show it to you. Mainly because I wasn't sure about the situation within your clan. I don't know if there's a traitor among you." Yun Lintian said further.

He walked forward and handed the token to Huoyun Yurou. "Now, I return it to Senior."

Huoyun Yurou's entire body shuddered violently as soon as she contacted a familiar aura emitting from the token. Her mind was in a mess, and she did not know what to do or say at the moment.

She had dreamed of countless situations where her son came back, but she didn't expect it was only his token that had returned.

Huoyun Yurou didn't take to token right away. She raised her head slowly and asked in a trembling voice. "W-where is he….?"

Yun Lintian's heart was heavy. He went silent for a moment and said sadly. "He's no longer in this world."

Pata!

The cane in Huoyun Yurou's hand fell to the ground, and she subconsciously took two steps back. She felt weak all over, as though her soul was leaving her body. Her wrinkled face was pale as a white paper. Her cloudy eyes widened in disbelief.

"Grandma!" The Huoyun sisters hurriedly supported their grandmother. Seeing her grandmother's appearance, they felt as though their hearts were stabbed by countless blades.

"H-how….? How did he….?" Huoyun Yurou murmured.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and explained. "I met the Crown Prince in the mythical realm called the Blazing Sun Mythical Realm on the Northern Continent. He was there with Senior Yan Qi, the former Blazing Sun Palace Master."

"Yan Qi…. I see. So that's how it is." Huoyun Yurou muttered to herself. She raised her head to look at Yun Lintian and asked. "Did he….?"

Yun Lintian let out a sigh. "When I met him, he was in his beast form, and no longer had profound strength. It was Senior Yan who conveyed his words to me." He hesitated briefly and decided to say it. "In fact, he had a chance to leave that place with me, but he refused to come out. After I left, the mythical realm collapsed and disappeared completely."

He bowed his head ninety degrees and said solemnly. "I'm sorry, Senior. I should have decisively taken him out."

"Ugh!" Huoyun Yurou coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, and her cheeks were already filled with two streaks of tears.

"Grandma!" Huoyun Lingling hurriedly channeled her profound energy to soothe Huoyun Yurou's condition.

Yun Lintian quickly took a step forward. "Let me." He grabbed Huoyun Yurou's wrist and gently injected fire profound energy into her body.

Soon, Huoyun Yurou's face became rosy, and her trembling body began to calm down.

Standing nearby, Huoyun Lingling and Huoyun Yanyan could obviously perceive Yun Lintian's rich fire profound energy. This made them look at him in shock because they discovered Yun Lintian was a dual attribute practitioner. Furthermore, they were two opposite attributes!

Yun Lintian retracted his hand and said. "Please calm your mood, Senior."

Huoyun Yurou closed her eyes for a long time. When she opened her eyes again, the trace of pain and sorrow was still lingering on her face, but she was calmer than before.

Seeing this, Yun Lintian handed the token to her again and said. "Please, Senior."

Huoyun Yurou stared at the token that was burning vigorously for a moment and reached her trembling hand out to grab it.

Buzz—

The moment her fingers touched the token, the flame on the token suddenly whirled and transformed into a human-shaped flame. This human-shaped flame displayed a rather handsome young man with sharp eyebrows. He was dressed in a luxury red robe, shrouding with a majestic aura that belonged to a king.

The man glanced at Yun Lintian and nodded his head gently before turning to Huoyun Yurou and saying softly. "Mother." His voice filled with infinite guilt, making anyone who heard it feel remorseful along.

"Son… Is that you?" Huoyun Yurou's body trembled as she stared at the familiar man before her. The tears that hadn't yet completely dried flowed out once again.

Seeing his mother's aged appearance, the man was even sadder. He suddenly knelt on the ground before Huoyun Yurou and said. "Unfilial son, Xiaohuo, greets mother."

Huoyun Yurou wiped the tears again and reached her hands out to touch the man, Huoyun Xiaohuo. "Get up. What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, mother. I've let you down and made you in pain for all these years. I don't deserve to be your son." Huoyun Xiaohuo refused to get up and said in a choking voice.

"How could you say that!? No matter what happens, you will always be my son. Get up, now!" Huoyun Yurou raised her voice, but she wasn't truly angry.

Huoyun Xiaohuo looked at his mother with tearful eyes for a moment and hesitantly got up from the ground.

"Mother, please do not blame this little friend of mine. It was my choice to stay there and die with Brother Yan." Huoyun Xiaohuo suddenly said.

A rare smile appeared on Huoyun Yurou's face. She raised her hand and wanted to knock her son's head, but she could not touch him, as he was a residual soul. "Do you think your mom is so unreasonable? He traveled across the continent to send your token to me is already something I cannot repay him. How could I blame Little Friend Mu?"
