Heart’s desire

Before he could even register, his body had already betrayed him as it dashed in the direction of the two figures. It didn't take long before he was right before them.

Zou Yi hesitantly stretched his hands towards them with anticipation mixed with fear. Even though he was overwhelmed by emotion at the moment, some part of him still knew his parents were dead and had been dead for the past three years. 

He was worried his hands would pass through them, then that sinking reality he didn't want to admit, would burst forth and ruin the moment.

But what if, what if the past three years were not real, or by some weird fate the Order had resurrected his parents and this was a surprise unveiling they had arranged for him?

While he had never seen people being brought back to life, he couldn't dismiss its possibility.

If cultivators could survive without their bodies, or be regrown from a drop of blood, his parents could have a chance at survival, right?
