Chapter 7039
Seeing Margaret’s 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.
“Alright, everyone, don’t be discouraged.”
“It’s normal to be less skilled and less intelligent than others.”
“Especially with a senior like Maria.”
“Just sit down and wait patiently.”
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, Maria’s 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 Maria’s 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:
“Miss… Zhengping pays homage to you…”
Maria reached out to support him and asked with a smile:
“Zhengping, it’s been a hundred years since we last met.”
“Are you okay?”
Kong Yin’s emotions instantly lost control,
And he broke down and sobbed like a child:
“Good…good…Miss…Zhengping is fine.”
“Thanks to you, I am alive today and have the opportunity to see you again.”
“Miss…how have you been all these years?”
Maria saw him. It was inevitable that she would feel sad when she saw her crying,”
“But she still maintained that kind smile and said softly,
“I’m fine, as you can see,”
“I still look the same.”
After that, she supported him and said,
“You are old, don’t stand here all the time.”
“And don’t get too excited.”
“I’ll help you go in and sit down to talk.”
Kong Yin choked and said,
“Zhengping doesn’t dare to trouble the young lady.”
“I can still walk by myself.”
Maria smiled softly and said,
“You are still as strong as when you were a child.”
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, “Miss, you haven’t changed at all in all these years.”
Maria laughed heartily,
“I haven’t even reached four hundred years of my five-hundred-year lifespan.”
“In a few decades, I’ll still look the same.”
Kong Yin sighed, “Miss,”
“You’ve worked hard these past few years.”
Maria smiled and said, “I’ve had so many more years of travel and experience than the average person.”
“So it’s only natural that I should endure some hardships.”
Kong Yin nodded, “Miss, you’re as open-minded as you were back then.”
Then he remembered to ask,
“Miss…you…why did you come to Japan?”
“I remember you saying that the aggressive military policy since the First Sino-Japanese War had disappointed you so much.”
“You said you wouldn’t return here.”
“And now you’re back. Have you run into any trouble?”
