Old Jin finally left. Before he departed, he said to Lady Man, "Lady Man, you can't bear to part with her today, but don't you realize that one day, she will inevitably leave you? By then, you'll be frail and decrepit. Even if you manage to get a Foundation Establishment Pill, it will be too late for you to establish your foundation."
Tears welled in Lady Man's eyes, but she remained silent.
Old Jin sighed. "If you don't leave today, your path to immortality will be severed. Five hundred years from now, if Xin'Er succeeds in Seeking Immortality, who's to say she will even remember to burn a stick of incense at your grave?"
Tears brimmed in Lady Man's eyes. She said nothing, letting them stream endlessly down her cheeks.
Xiaoxin'Er, held tightly in her mother's embrace, had a face streaked with tears. The little girl tilted her head up slightly to look at Old Jin, her adorable face clouded with terror and unease.
