The next morning.
On the long street of Ping Yang Town, the Su family was on one side and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators were on the other.
In the middle of the long street, a man and a woman stood opposite each other.
The man was dressed in a green robe, clean and simple. He had delicate features. The woman was dressed in a pale yellow long dress. Her black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Her face was flawless and her eyes were like water, carrying a hint of melancholy.
"Zimo, are you really not leaving with me? Even if you can't join Azure Frost Sect, given your capabilities, you will have a bright future in the Great Zhou Dynasty, "Ji Yaoxue asked softly.
"No." Su Zi smiled.
"I am used to being carefree. I can't abide by the rules of the dynasty."
"Zimo, do you intend to go to Misty Peak?" Ji Yaoxue was extremely intelligent. She could vaguely sense that Su Zimo seemed to be deliberately distancing himself from her.
"Oh?" Su Zimo's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise but he did not reply.
Ji Yaoxue said, "It is much more difficult to join Misty Peak as compared to the other four major sects. The spirit root test is only one of the obstacles. There are other hurdles after that. I heard that many advanced Qi Refinement Warriors can't join Misty Peak. You … "
Seeing Ji Yaoxue's concerned gaze, Su Zimo sighed in his heart.
He could naturally tell that Ji Yaoxue was genuinely good to him. Perhaps she wanted to repay his kindness or for other reasons.
But no matter what, he could not leave with Ji Yaoxue.
Although Dai Xu hid it well, he could not hide it from Su Zimo's spirit perception.
This person had the intention to kill him!
It would be fine if this intention came from Dai Xu himself. But if it was the intention of the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would be devastating to Su Zimo and the Su family.
The emperor's edict seemed to be a reward on the surface but it was also a warning behind it.
The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty could make Su Hong a king. Naturally, he could also make the Su family disappear easily.
Heaven's might was vast and mighty, and Heaven's will was hard to fathom.
Die Yue seemed to have mercilessly thrown Su Zimo into Cang Lang Mountain Range because she wanted to tell him that whether it was the secular world or the cultivation world, it was no different from Cang Lang Mountain Range. The law of survival was the law of the jungle!
Only if you can survive in Cang Lang Mountain Range will you have the qualifications to roam the cultivation world!
If one wasn't strong enough, they could only be passive in all aspects and be at the mercy of others without being able to do anything.
"What plans does Zimo have for the future?" Ji Yaoxue asked again.
Su Zimo said, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand li. I might go out for a walk."
Pausing for a moment, Su Zimo bowed slightly to Ji Yaoxue and cupped his fists, "Miss Ji, farewell. Please take care of yourself."
Hearing the words' Miss Ji ', Ji Yaoxue's eyes darkened. After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "Young Master Su, take care of yourself too."
Ji Yaoxue boarded the carriage and the bead curtains fell. It was as if the two of them were separated from each other's world and it was difficult for them to meet again.
Su Xiaoning sat in the carriage and looked outside with tears streaming down her face. Ji Yaoxue sighed softly and hugged Su Xiaoning in her arms, saying softly, "Let's go."
The carriage soared into the air and more than a thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivators rode on their swords to protect the carriage. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the sky above Ping Yang Town.
At the back of the group, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator came to Dai Xu's side and whispered, "Commander Dai, do we still want to kill that Su Zimo?"
"There's no need. At least he knows what's good for him and did not go overboard," Dai Xu sneered.
Dai Xu sneered, "He's just a mortal, a frog at the bottom of a well. Let him fend for himself."
In the carriage.
Su Xiaoning seemed to be overwhelmed with grief. She fell into Ji Yaoxue's arms and closed her eyes in a deep sleep. The tears at the corners of her eyes had yet to dry.
Ji Yaoxue stared at the bead curtains in front of her in a daze. Her eyes were dim and there was a hint of sorrow in her brows that made one's heart ache.
"Princess, don't be sad over that person. It's not worth it," Dai Xu said softly outside the carriage.
Ji Yaoxue seemed to have not heard him.
Dai Xu continued, "Princess, one of you is a phoenix in the sky and the other is an ant on the ground. He's not worthy of you."
Ji Yaoxue frowned and looked at Su Xiaoning who was still sleeping in her arms. She then turned and said softly, "If he's an ant on the ground, what are you? You don't have to care about my matters. You're not qualified! "
Ji Yaoxue's tone was stern but she lowered her voice, afraid that she would wake Su Xiaoning up.
"Princess, don't blame me for being nosy. You'll definitely become a Jin Dan in the future and have a lifespan of 500 years. He's just a mortal with a lifespan of less than 100 years. It's not realistic to choose him as your Dao partner, "Dai Xu said again.
Ji Yaoxue's face darkened and she suddenly asked, "Did Father say anything to you?"
"No, no," Dai Xu was stunned for a moment and immediately denied it.
Ji Yaoxue secretly clenched her fists and said coldly, "Dai Xu, I'm warning you. Don't touch Su Zimo and don't touch anyone from the Su family!"
Dai Xu's face was cold and he did not say anything.
After a while, Ji Yaoxue sighed softly and said sadly, "100 years will pass in the blink of an eye. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet him again."
Hearing this, Dai Xu heaved a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved.
At this moment, Ji Yaoxue had already realized that if she were to get too close to Su Zimo, what she would bring to Su Zimo was not a chance encounter but destruction.
Ji Yaoxue was dejected and did not notice that Su Xiaoning, who was lying in her arms, had her eyelashes fluttered but she did not open her eyes.
…
Ping Yang Town.
Su Hong and the rest were also returning to the capital with the Country of Yan's army.
"Zimo, why don't you follow me to the capital and stay for a while?"
Su Hong was going to the capital and would not return to Ping Yang Town for a while. He was worried about leaving Su Zimo alone.
"Brother, go ahead. I'll stay in Ping Yang Town for a while and then go out to explore. Don't worry about me," Su Zimo said.
Su Hong frowned. "The Su family's residence is empty and there's no one familiar in Ping Yang Town. You're alone …"
"I'm not alone." Su Zimo smiled.
"Mmm?" Su Hong was shocked.
Su Zimo did not explain. He thumped Su Hong's chest and smiled. "Go to the capital. Don't worry about me. If there's a chance, I'll go to the capital to visit you."
"Alright, we'll go then."
Su Hong got on his horse and nodded at Su Zimo. He led the rest of the Su family and left under the protection of the Country of Yan's army.
The cold wind was blowing. In the snow, Su Zimo walked on the empty long street. His back view looked a little lonely.
Xiaoning had left. Su Hong had left.
It seemed that everyone had left him within a day.
Su Zimo arrived at his own residence. When he pushed open the door, the snow seemed to have stopped and a faint warmth hit him.
There seemed to be a woman in a blood-red robe standing under the peach tree. She looked both real and illusory. She looked back and smiled.
Su Zimo was not alone. He did not feel lonely.
When he returned here, it was as if Die Yue was by his side. She watched him cultivate as she did in the past. She would kick and hit him from time to time.
Su Zimo smiled and closed the door.
Su Zimo did not intend to leave Ping Yang Town immediately.
He was waiting.
Waiting for someone.
Just like that night one and a half years ago …
