later on, a lot of things happened gradually. first, shi qingxuan received a small black chest with a key and note attached.
one. tell him to rest in peace.
shi qingxuan's fingers trembled as he lifted up the lid, and saw two things. one, a thick pile of grey dust that shimmered divine gold here an there. two, longevity necklace wrapped in a piece of white and blue robe.
that night, he cried for a very long time before giving his brother a burial the next day.
later on, many days have passed until he xuan came around, wearing those golden earrings and an uncertain smile.
shi qingxuan smiled, "thank you."
he xuan rolled his eyes and prepared to leave.
"no! come back! i won't thank you anymore."
he xuan sighed and turned around again. shi qingxuan gave him another smile, "thank y– NONONO I WASN'T– HE-XIONG, COME BACK! BLACK WATER! HE XUAN! HE-XIONG! crap, he ran off."
whatever would happen next, whether they'd once again visit black water's island or shi built his spiritual power again and ascended, it was all a long story to come.
maybe one day he'd miss those things, but for the time being, he was glad to cherish this one thing that came back to his life, even if that meant he'd be denied with 'get lost' twice an hour and abandoned in the middle of nowhere because of his feisty gab.
after all, regardless of the name, he xuan was still a petty lofty grandpa of no chill, and shi qingxuan was still a passionate imbecile.
that's why they became friends in the first place.
the end.
