Chapter 7039
Seeing Margaretβs decision, the other three fell silent.
While everyone was shocked and annoyed to be found here by Maria,
They were still a friend, not an enemy, and at least posed no threat.
Margaret cleared the broken pieces from the tea tray and took out a new cup.
βAlright, everyone, donβt be discouraged.β
βItβs normal to be less skilled and less intelligent than others.β
βEspecially with a senior like Maria.β
βJust sit down and wait patiently.β
The three nodded and sat down again.
Maria had already walked to the entrance of the main hall courtyard.
Master Kongyin, exhausted and excited, was holding onto the doorframe in anticipation.
The moment he saw Maria step in,
A childlike smile crossed his wrinkled face.
Maria noticed him, and her usual girlish smile faded,
Replacing it with a kind yet commanding one.
At the same time, as she walked, she took off her mask and undid her twin ponytails with both hands.
As she walked quickly, her hands were very skillful and neat,
And she tied her long hair back into a neat high ponytail.
At this moment, Mariaβs eyes took on a bit of sharpness.
In an instant, her temperament changed drastically,
As if she had become a different person.
Kong Yin was trembling and wanted to walk out of the main hall to greet him.
Maria tied her hair and just slightly extended her right hand towards him with her palm facing him.
Kong Yin knew that Maria wanted him to wait there.
So he stopped and held the door frame with both hands for support.
Tears had already burst out,
So that Mariaβs figure gradually blurred in his eyes.
Maria quickened her pace and strode towards Kong Yin.
When she got closer, Kong Yin loosened his hands that were holding onto the door frame,
And was about to kneel down tremblingly, muttering and choking:
βMissβ¦ Zhengping pays homage to youβ¦β
Maria reached out to support him and asked with a smile:
βZhengping, itβs been a hundred years since we last met.β
βAre you okay?β
Kong Yinβs emotions instantly lost control,
And he broke down and sobbed like a child:
βGoodβ¦goodβ¦Missβ¦Zhengping is fine.β
βThanks to you, I am alive today and have the opportunity to see you again.β
βMissβ¦how have you been all these years?β
Maria saw him. It was inevitable that she would feel sad when she saw her crying,β
βBut she still maintained that kind smile and said softly,
βIβm fine, as you can see,β
βI still look the same.β
After that, she supported him and said,
βYou are old, donβt stand here all the time.β
βAnd donβt get too excited.β
βIβll help you go in and sit down to talk.β
Kong Yin choked and said,
βZhengping doesnβt dare to trouble the young lady.β
βI can still walk by myself.β
Maria smiled softly and said,
βYou are still as strong as when you were a child.β
Although she said so,
Maria still gently supported him to sit on the cushion in the center of the main hall.
Kong Yin was nearing death, his movements slow and fatigued,
But his face was filled with excitement.
He wiped away his tears with his cassock and finally took in Maria.
He sighed, βMiss, you havenβt changed at all in all these years.β
Maria laughed heartily,
βI havenβt even reached four hundred years of my five-hundred-year lifespan.β
βIn a few decades, Iβll still look the same.β
Kong Yin sighed, βMiss,β
βYouβve worked hard these past few years.β
Maria smiled and said, βIβve had so many more years of travel and experience than the average person.β
βSo itβs only natural that I should endure some hardships.β
Kong Yin nodded, βMiss, youβre as open-minded as you were back then.β
Then he remembered to ask,
βMissβ¦youβ¦why did you come to Japan?β
βI remember you saying that the aggressive military policy since the First Sino-Japanese War had disappointed you so much.β
βYou said you wouldnβt return here.β
βAnd now youβre back. Have you run into any trouble?β
