"Today we mourn deeply for our dearest comrades with a very heavy heart. First of all, on behalf of all the friends who came to attend the memorial service today, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the relatives of the fallen comrades!"

Uncle Tian, ​​the "Tianshu Star" of the "Seven Stars of Liyue", as the host of this large-scale memorial service, read out these eulogies with a heavy heart.

The portraits of Qianyan Army and secretaries were arranged in order. Most of them were still children, Pang Zuo and Yu Qing were examples.

Their bodies were buried on the isolated island in the sea, but Yuqing's body was never found until the end...

Keqing sat alone on the rooftop of Yujing Terrace, hugging her thin body, her eyes red as she stared blankly at the memorial service below.

Keqing kept blaming herself for not being able to bring everyone back safely. She began to doubt herself and wondered if she was suitable to be a leader.

Ningguang and Beidou walked side by side outside the memorial service, stopped at the second-floor observation deck, and stared at the crowd below with regretful eyes...

"Ningguang, I'm sorry..." Beidou apologized to Ningguang with a little apology.

“No need to apologize!” Ningguang said, “I am already very grateful to you and the entire Southern Cross Fleet for their help. There is no reason for me to ask you to apologize.”

Beidou sighed: "But... I couldn't help in the end. Seeing their sacrifice, I felt very sorry. I'm afraid Miss Keqing must be feeling very bad now."

Ningguang looked at Keqing sitting alone on the roof from afar, her face full of heartache: "Yeah, I've never seen Keqing like this before. The always energetic and high-spirited Keqing now looks like a frost-bitten eggplant. How can I not be worried?"

Beidou then asked: "By the way, what are you going to do with Xu Cheng and his men next?"

Ningguang frowned. “This group of vicious criminals have been colluding with the shore for a long time, engaging in smuggling activities that are not disclosed. They are also rampant on the sea in Liyue and flouted the law.”

"Harming the lives of our Qianyan Army soldiers and secretaries is an unforgivable crime. Xu Cheng must be executed! The rest of the pirates under his command can be spared the death penalty, but they cannot escape punishment while they are alive."

"Support." Beidou nodded.

At the memorial service, the families of the fallen Qianyan Army soldiers and secretaries sat together, crying with tears in their eyes.

Ye Luo walked among these people, his eyes were blurred and distracted, and he remained silent for a long time.

Xingqiu, Chongyun, Xiangling, Yanfei and a group of friends followed behind. They saw that Ye Luo had become a different person since he came back. They were very worried, but they didn't dare to ask and could only watch silently.

Hu Tao and Zhongli represented the "Wangsheng Hall" and were responsible for all the burial ceremonies. After everything was completed, because their bodies were far away on the isolated island and could not be brought back, the only thing they could do was to arrange the cenotaphs of the sacrificed people near the Qianyan Army's monument.

Seeing the pain of the victims' families, Ye Luo felt a pain in his heart as if it was being cut by a knife or a sword. He stared at the portraits of Pang Zuo and Yu Qing.

"Everyone can return to their own family, but what about you two? I couldn't even find Yuqing's body until the very end."

"I say that I share the same past with you, so I want to protect your future, but I'm actually just a lunatic who talks nonsense and talks to myself. I have no right to entrust your future to me."

"Sorry……"

Fengyuan Manye's hand gently rested on Ye Luo's shoulder. Ye Luo turned his head to look at him. His eyes, red and dry from crying, were enough to see through Ye Luo's mental journey.

"Don't be so hard on yourself. The past cannot be changed. At least you really want to do something. Otherwise, you wouldn't express your true feelings, right?"

Ye Luo's hands trembled and he sighed: "My last wish is that Pang Zuo and Yu Qing can meet again in another world. Since they have suffered a lot in this world, at least let them live happily somewhere else."

After saying this, he looked up at the sky.

Maple Leaf also raised her head and looked at the same sky as him.

From time to time, a gentle breeze blew gently, and a piece of dogtail grass floated into Ye Luo's palm out of thin air.

Ye Luo couldn't help but stare in amazement. He looked around, his heart pounding, but he couldn't utter a word.

Fengyuan Manye smiled and responded to Ye Luo's shocked look: "As for the next destination, it depends on which direction the wind blows."

Ye Luo seemed to have made up his mind. He walked to the flower bed next to him and sowed a seed. In an instant, poppies grew out of nowhere all over the ground, looking exceptionally bright and eye-catching.

The onlookers were all shocked, but they didn't know why and could only shout in surprise.

Ye Luo picked the two largest and most beautiful flowers, gently placed them in front of the portraits of Pang Zuo and Yu Qing, and smiled slightly.

"You may have really been here. The flower language of the poppy is separation of life and death, and separation of the living and the dead. But it also means unswerving determination and loyal waiting."

"I give you these poppies as our farewell gift. I hope you can be happy forever in the other world."

"Goodbye, Yuqing..."

"Goodbye, Pang Zuo..."

Another gentle breeze passed by Ye Luo, gently blowing up his clothes, and then flew away. After that, there was no sound for a long time...

The two rings were also buried together in the cenotaph of the two, shining brightly in the sunlight.

……

Under the white light, the scenery of the Jiangnan water town and an antique stone bridge...

The streets were deserted, the weather was clear, the sun was warm, and the breeze was just right...

Yuqing sat on the bench, holding a ring in her hand and showing a lovely smile.

From another direction, a tall and handsome man with a handsome face was walking towards her with big strides.

Yuqing smiled at him and said, "Pang Zuo, you are late again. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Pang Zuo smiled and scratched his head: "Sorry Yuqing, I was delayed on the way because of a small matter..."

Yuqing said mischievously: "Actually, I was just kidding. Of course I know you are very busy at work, otherwise why would you leave me alone?"

Pang Zuo shook his head and said seriously: "From today on, I will never abandon you again. We will be together forever, every month, every day, every moment, okay?"

Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then she smiled happily: "Then I must be the happiest girl in the world!"

"As long as we are by each other's side, we can be the happiest people in the world..."
