Chapter 3568: True Great Perfection

In An Chengxi's heart, his understanding and feelings towards Lin Wan'er gradually began to become diverse.

On the one hand, she knew clearly that Lin Wan'er was nearly four hundred years old and was definitely an ancestor-level senior, but on the other hand, she also vaguely felt that Lin Wan'er was just a little girl, a cute girl younger than her son. Sometimes, she was like a best friend whose age she had forgotten, giving people a feeling of confidant.

Respect, admiration, appreciation, liking, and loving, when these feelings appear on one person, An Chengxi is more or less not used to it.

Lin Wan'er sighed softly and smiled, "Madam Ye and I hit it off right away and had a wonderful conversation. If there's an opportunity in the future, I hope to have another conversation like we had today."

An Chengxi knew that Lin Wan'er was truly leaving, so he nodded and said, "I, too, hope to see you again. Due to the special circumstances, I will not see you off."

Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "Madam Ye, there's no need to see me off. I can go out on my own."

After saying that, she turned to look at Kong Yin, only to find that he was already in tears, so she smiled and said, "Zhengping, I'm leaving."

Kong Yin knew that Lin Wan'er was about to leave, and he couldn't help but choked up and said, "Miss... Zhengping hasn't seen you for a hundred years. Today, we finally meet again. I dare to ask you to stay in the temple for a few days, even... even if it's just for one night..."

Kongyin really wanted to say, "Miss, Zhengping misses you very much," but it felt like there was something stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.

The more he couldn't express the words in his heart, the more they turned into tears that kept falling. Two lines of tears formed a water mark and flowed down his wrinkled face, just like river water flowing through dry and cracked yellow earth.

Everyone on both sides was moved with compassion.

He even couldn't help but look at Lin Wan'er, hoping that she could fulfill Kong Yin's little wish.

Lin Wan'er said softly, "Zhengping, it's fate that we can meet again. You know I've gotten used to separations over the years. Staying a few more days will only increase the risk and make the next separation even more painful. So, why not just keep this reunion as a surprise?"

Kong Yin could no longer hold back his emotions. Instead of continuing to sit cross-legged, he knelt on the ground, placed his hands flat on his knees, and cried like a child, "Miss, Zhengping knows how hard your life has been. Zhengping should never have made such a request... It's just... It's just..."

Kong Yin's speech became intermittent due to crying. "It's just...it's just that Zhengping has a feeling...that he has lived for more than 120 years...The end...The end is already at hand..."

"Miss... In the past one hundred years of Zhengping's life, his most... earliest memory is... being held in your arms..."

"Now...now that the end is near, Zhengping dares to hope that the last memory of this life will still be that of the young lady accompanying Zhengping..."

"In that case... in that case... Zhengping can... die... without regrets..."

Having said that, before Lin Wan'er could say anything, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, his vision went dark, and he fell sideways.

Lin Wan'er subconsciously wanted to help him up, but she wasn't that quick. Master Jingqing, on the other hand, was quick to help Kongyin up. Seeing his pale face and lips as white as paper, she thought to herself that something was wrong and asked him with concern, "Master Kongyin, are you okay?"

The others also looked at Kong Yin nervously, fearing that something might happen to him.

Lin Wan'er bit her lower lip, feeling as distressed as everyone else.

At this moment, Kong Yin suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Lin Wan'er, and said with a difficult smile, "Miss, you...you must take care of yourself!"

Lin Wan'er's heart skipped a beat. She realized that his time had come to an end, and tears instantly flowed from her eyes.

In a flash, she quickly leaned forward, took out a pill without hesitation, and handed it to Kong Yin's mouth, smiling like coaxing a child and saying, "Zhengping, be good. Take this pill and everything will be fine."

Kong Yin forced a smile with difficulty and said in a trembling voice, "When I was... when I was sick as a child... the young lady always... always persuaded Zhengping to take medicine like this. The medicine the young lady brewed... was... was very bitter, bitter... so bitter... that after drinking it, my whole... my whole body couldn't help... couldn't help shaking, but... but, every time it really... really worked to cure the disease..."

As he spoke, Kong Yin took a few deep breaths and continued, "But...but this time is different, Miss...Zhengping's deadline...has really...really come..."

Lin Wan'er wiped away her tears and said seriously, "It's the same this time. Take this pill and everything will be fine. This is the rejuvenation pill that the young master gave me. It can add twenty years to your lifespan. Take it and you'll be back to normal like when you were little!"

Everyone around was shocked.

Rejuvenation Pill, who doesn’t know its efficacy and value.

An Chengxi knew even more that his elder brother had spent hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars but still failed to buy a single rejuvenation pill. Ye Chen gave the rejuvenation pill to Lin Wan'er, and it must have been a life-saving pill for her, but she took it out without hesitation and was about to give it to Kong Yin to take.

Just when everyone was impressed by Lin Wan'er and happy for Kong Yin, Kong Yin smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, Miss. I feel... I feel like the Buddha seems... seems to have come to take me away..."

Lin Wan'er shouted sternly, "I won't let you die, not even the Buddha! Zhengping! Take this pill right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for having someone pry open your mouth and force-feed you the pill!"

Kong Yin shook his head with all his might, looking at Lin Wan'er and choking with sobs, "Miss, let Zhengping just... just go like this. One hundred... one hundred and twenty-five years of life... and to still have you by his side at the end... is... is the true great... great perfection... and it's the blessing Zhengping has earned through his life... his whole life..."

Lin Wan'er's face was rarely filled with anger, and she scolded him harshly, "Zhengping, you don't even listen to what the young lady says, do you? If you don't take the medicine, I will take action!"

Kong Yin shook his head and said seriously, "Miss... Zhengping doesn't... dare not... it's just... it's just that Zhengping doesn't want to... doesn't want to live another twenty years... One hundred... one hundred and twenty-five years, in... in the secular world... is already... already extremely rare. All... all of Japan knows... knows Zhengping's age. If... if Zhengping lives another... another twenty years, Miss's enemies will definitely... definitely become suspicious... Zhengping doesn't want... doesn't want to harm Miss..."

As he spoke, he was on the verge of death. In his dying breath, he choked out a sob, "Miss... Zheng... Zhengping will become... the brightest star in the west, just like you told me when you were a child... when you were a child."

Lin Wan'er cried, "Zhengping, take the medicine. For the next twenty years, you can find a place where no one knows you and hide your identity. Being alive is always a good thing. Didn't you ask me to stay for a few days? If you take the medicine, I'll stay here for a few days, okay?"

Kong Yin's eyes were already filled with turbid tears at this time. He shook his head desperately to wipe the tears out of his eyes, but they were soon filled with uncontrollable tears again.

He looked at Lin Wan'er, whose figure was already blurry, and said with a smile, "Miss... please forgive Zhengping for not... being able to obey your order this time..."

Lin Wan'er held the pill in her hand, struggling internally.

She wanted to force-feed the medicine to Kong Yin, but she knew he was determined and was worried that forcing him to live twenty years would become a burden to him.

Kong Yin knew Lin Wan'er's struggle and said with a smile, "Miss... let go... You said before... you always... always have to let go and let... let us fly out and spread... now please... let Zhengping go... go and see those... see those brothers and sisters..."

Lin Wan'er's tears streamed down her face, but she nodded emphatically. Then, she held Kong Yin's hand, which was as old as tree bark, and cried, "Then remember to say hello to them for me."

Kong Yin smiled knowingly, relaxed instantly, and grabbed Lin Wan'er's hand and said, "Don't worry, Miss, don't worry..."

After saying this, he looked at Jing Qing with satisfaction and said, "Master Jing Qing... please... please tell Yuan Cheng for me... that after I die... on my tombstone... don't... don't engrave my Dharma name. Engrave... engrave my secular name... Sai... Saito Masa... Saito Shohei... this... this is the name the young lady gave me..."

Seeing this scene, Jing Qing couldn't hide his heartache and said solemnly: "Master Kongyin, don't worry, I will definitely convey this to you!"

Kong Yin nodded, then looked at Lin Wan'er again, using his last bit of strength to say, "You must take care of yourself, Miss! You must... you must live to your last... your last day... You must... remember to enjoy... enjoy life, instead of... not blindly... giving to others..."

After he finished speaking, his pupils gradually dilated and he became limp until he completely lost all vital signs.

However, there was no trace of pain or unwillingness on Kong Yin's face, but instead a satisfied and open-minded smile.

Everyone around could see that for Kong Yin, seeing Lin Wan'er and having Lin Wan'er accompany him through the last part of his life was a true fulfillment in his life.

At the beginning of his life, he was fortunately saved by a noble person; at the end, he was accompanied by a noble person again. In between, he lived a full 125 years of ups and downs. The process was wonderful, with a beginning and an end, and his life was complete.
