The Yuan family.
"Father, Huang Brother is joining the military today. I will go and see him off," Yuan Luoyu said respectfully.
"Bring some gifts. Hmm, go to the clan treasury and pick some valuable treasures. Although they are for Huang Qianjun, the more important thing is to impress Mr. Su. We mustn't be careless. This will also reflect the intentions of our Yuan family," Yuan Wutong made a decision.
"Very well!" Yuan Luoyu readily agreed.
Yuan Wutong snorted coldly and said, "You spent quite a lot of money at Langtaosha last night. This time, I won't hold it against you because of Mr. Su's face. But you better hurry back to the Red Scale Army!"
"Thank you, father, for your mercy!" Yuan Luoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and left with a smile on his face.
"Father, I'm going too," Yuan Luoxi, who was beside him, also stood up. Without asking for Yuan Wutong's permission, she left excitedly.
Yuan Wutong sighed helplessly. Indeed, women couldn't be kept at home!
Zhuo'an Cottage.
Zhang Yiren approached and lightly knocked on the door.
However, it wasn't Huang Qianjun who opened the door, but an exceptionally beautiful woman.
She was dressed in a plain cloth dress, with no makeup or decorations, yet her exquisite and stunning appearance couldn't be hidden.
"Miss Chajin?" Zhang Yiren was surprised.
He had seen this peerless geisha on the boat before, but he never expected to see her in Zhuo'an Cottage.
Li Moyun, Ni Hao, and the other young people were also stunned by Chajin's breathtaking beauty.
Many of them even felt ashamed and dared not meet her gaze.
Nan Ying couldn't help but sigh in her heart. As a woman, she was somewhat jealous of the extraordinary beauty emanating from Chajin. After thinking it over, it seemed that only Wen Lingxue in the entire Qinghe Sword Mansion could rival her.
Chajin gave a slight bow and her voice was gentle and melodious. "I have met Master Zhang. May I ask if you all are here to visit our young master?"
Some men couldn't handle it anymore. Her voice, her temperament, her appearance... it was simply unparalleled.
Even Chen Zheng couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. He thought to himself that this Su young friend was quite extraordinary to have such a remarkable person as his attendant.
"Yes, we are here to visit Master Su," Zhang Yiren nodded.
At this moment, Huang Qianjun arrived after hearing the news and smiled as he extended an invitation, "Lord Hou, Mr. Zhang, please come in."
Zhang Yiren frowned and said, "Huang Brother, your eye sockets are dark, and you seem weak and lacking in vitality. What happened?"
"Uh, it's nothing," Huang Qianjun felt embarrassed.
Suddenly, he noticed some familiar faces and furrowed his brow, "Li Moyun, what are you doing here?"
Li Moyun had already seen Huang Qianjun, and his heart was filled with astonishment.
Especially when he saw Huang Qianjun chatting and laughing with Zhang Yiren, his heart was thrown into turmoil, almost unable to believe his eyes.
"Oh, you guys are here too," Huang Qianjun saw Ni Hao and Nan Ying, and his expression became somewhat strange.
Ni Hao and Nan Ying were also stunned, wearing expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
Before coming here, they couldn't help but speculate on who could receive a personal farewell from Lord Hou.
Never did they expect to see Huang Qianjun!
How could they forget that this surname Huang had always been with Su Yi back in Fengyuan Pavilion's Ninth Level Shanhe Hall?
In other words, the moment they saw Huang Qianjun, Ni Hao and Nan Ying instantly guessed who the person Lord Hou wanted to bid farewell to was!
For a moment, their hearts couldn't remain calm, and their expressions became incredibly vivid.
"Huang Brother knows them too?" Zhang Yiren couldn't help but say.
"Naturally, we're old acquaintances," Huang Qianjun said with a smile.
Zhang Yiren also smiled, "That's great. Since you all know each other, they will also be returning to Bloodthorn Demon Mountain with Lord Hou. Since you're acquainted, you can get closer."
As they chatted, everyone entered the courtyard.
Almost simultaneously, Su Yi walked out calmly from his room. He was dressed in a green robe, with a coiled hair bun, looking fresh and elegant, detached from worldly matters.
Indeed, it was him!
Ni Hao and Nan Ying both felt bitter in their hearts, an indescribable sense of loss.
Previously, being chosen by the Martial Spirit Marquis Chen Zheng had filled them with confidence, thinking that from then on, they could soar high like birds and achieve their ambitions.
Who would have thought that Su Yi, who was the same age as them, had already left them far behind and stood at a height that even the Martial Spirit Marquis himself came to see!
The contrast was so great that it could only be imagined.
Li Moyun quietly clenched his fists, feeling a sense of melancholy in his heart.
In the past, he had regarded the Wen family's son-in-law as insignificant and didn't take him seriously at all. But now... the other party had grown into a figure he could only look up to.
Out of reach!
The other young people also had complex expressions and gradually recognized Su Yi's identity. They couldn't help but feel that the absurdity of the world couldn't get any worse.
After all, just a year ago, Su Yi was a disciple who had lost all his cultivation.
And now, he was being personally bid farewell by Martial Spirit Marquis Chen Zheng!
"Master Su, Chen Mou has come to bid farewell. We will head to the dock outside the city later and take a boat back to Bloodthorn Demon Mountain," Chen Zheng stepped forward and smiled, cupping his hands.
Su Yi nodded and reached out to take out a spiritual sword, handing it to Huang Qianjun. "I don't have anything good to give you, so keep this sword."
The sword had a faint purple glow, which was the Reflection of Purple, a famous sword left behind by Nan Wenxiang after Su Yi killed him. It was personally forged by Master Chai Yong, the swordsmith of the Great Zhou Imperial Capital.
When Tea Jin saw this sword, his eyes showed a strange expression.
Li Moyun and the others were all stunned. Who wouldn't recognize that the sword casually given by Su Yi was an extraordinary spiritual sword?
"Su Brother, I..." Huang Qianjun's eyes turned red. When it was truly time to part, it was inevitable to feel reluctant and downcast.
But before he could speak, Su Yi interrupted, "I can't stand a young man putting on a show. No need for empty talk."
Huang Qianjun felt awkward.
Chen Zheng and Zhang Yiren couldn't help but laugh.
"Huang Brother, my sister and I have come to see you off," a hearty voice sounded outside the courtyard, and Yuan Luoyu and Yuan Laoxi walked in.
When Yuan Luoyu saw Chen Zheng in the courtyard, he was momentarily stunned, then quickly stepped forward to pay his respects, "Junior Yuan Luoyu pays respects to Lord Hou!"
Chen Zheng nodded and said, "You are Yuan Wu Tong's second son, the commander of the Crimson Scale Army under Shen Jiusong. I heard that Shen Jiusong praised you as 'Crimson Scale Tiger General, the talent of kings and marquises.' How about it, are you interested in joining my Green Armor Army?"
Yuan Luoyu was taken aback for a moment and said, "This matter is beyond my control."
"If you are interested in the future, you can come find me anytime," Chen Zheng said.
Yuan Luoyu smiled and agreed.
Afterward, Su Yi handed a jade box to Huang Qianjun and said, "This is the Thousand Scale Armor. Huang Brother, take it as a token of my appreciation."
Thousand Scale Armor!
Chen Zheng was surprised and said, "Your father really spared no expense. This armor is priceless and can withstand the full force attack of a Qi Gathering Realm expert."
He understood in his heart that this treasure was not so much given to Huang Qianjun as it was presented for Su Yi to see.
Ultimately, Huang Qianjun's face was not enough to make Yuan Wutong spend so much.
At first, Huang Qianjun didn't take it seriously, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but be moved and exclaimed, "Yuan Shao is truly my good brother!"
Not far away, Li Moyun, Ni Hao, and Nan Ying felt even more uncomfortable.
Back in the day, Li Moyun was the leading figure among the young generation in Guangling City, while Huang Qianjun was a notorious playboy in the city.
Who would have thought that the tides would change, and their identities would be so drastically different now!
As for Ni Hao and Nan Ying, they understood very well that Huang Qianjun was being valued because of his association with Su Yi. This made them inevitably feel a bit jealous of Huang Qianjun's good fortune...
Not long after, Chen Zheng took his leave.
Li Moyun, Ni Hao, and Nan Ying breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that Su Yi didn't hold grudges against them for their past grievances.
However, what made them bitter and disheartened was that Su Yi seemingly didn't care about them anymore.
Not holding grudges, perhaps because in Su Yi's eyes, they were no longer worth his attention. The gap between them had become insurmountable, as if they were no longer part of the same world.
Watching Huang Qianjun, Chen Zheng, and Zhang Yiren leave, Su Yi returned to the courtyard.
"Mr. Su, I will be returning to serve in the Crimson Scale Army soon. If you ever visit Gunzhou City in the future, please give me the opportunity to treat you to a drink," Yuan Luoyu said softly.
"Like the flower wine we had last night?" Yuan Laoxi coldly snorted and glared at her flirtatious brother.
Yuan Luoyu felt a bit embarrassed.
Tea Jin's expression also showed a hint of strangeness.
Only Su Yi remained calm, sipping his tea and saying, "Let's talk about that in the future."
"Mr. Su, are you also planning to leave Yunhe County City soon?" Yuan Laoxi couldn't help but ask.
"Indeed," Su Yi nodded.
His Qi Gathering Realm cultivation had always been unable to achieve "enlightenment in all the apertures." If he stayed in Yunhe County City, he would never find the opportunity to break through.
Yuan Laoxi couldn't help but ask, "Where do you plan to go?"
Tea Jin also couldn't help but listen attentively.
"It's hard to say," Su Yi shook his head. He wanted to leave, but at the very least, he needed to meet Wen Lingxue first.
Upon hearing this answer, Yuan Laoxi couldn't help but feel disappointed and said, "Mr. Su, after my father's birthday banquet on the third day of the third month, I will also go to Tianyuan Academy for cultivation. I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again..."
"Going to Tianyuan Academy for cultivation?" Su Yi was taken aback and said, "If that's the case, there is indeed a possibility for us to meet again."
Yuan Laoxi was delighted and said crisply, "Does that mean Mr. Su will go to Tianyuan Academy in the future?"
"Indeed," Su Yi nodded.
He couldn't forget his nominal wife. Of course, there was also Wei Zhengyang, that scoundrel trying to cuckold him. He had to deal with that guy, or it would be hard to find peace of mind.
Not long after, Yuan Luoyu and her brother bid farewell and left.
Su Yi returned to his room and began cultivating as usual.
Although his cultivation couldn't currently break through, he could cultivate the power of his divine soul using the "Transforming Self-Sutra."
Tea Jin stood alone in the courtyard for a moment, silently picking up a broom and sweeping away the fallen leaves and flower petals.
At the same time.
Qinghe Sword Mansion, Zhu Guqing withdrew her gaze, a satisfied expression appearing on her beautiful face. She said, "Well done. With your talent and abilities, you could have entered Tianyuan Academy long ago."
Wen Lingxue bowed and said, "Senior overpraises me."
Zhu Guqing said softly, "I have promised your sister that I will take you with me when I return to Tianyuan Academy. Go and pack your things. We will leave soon."
