Yun Yang's purple robe fluttered in the wind. When he stepped out of the door, he felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. He had decided to go to the Residence of Nine Supremes.
Ever since the ninth day of the third month last year, he had been repelled by this place. Each time he was near the Residence of Nine Supremes, he would feel ashamed to face his elder brothers.
What are you doing here when your revenge has not been avenged?
Yun Yang walked forward with a heavy heart.
Just as he turned a corner, he met a group of people head-on.
Both parties were stunned at the same time.
It was Ji Ling. The person walking at the front was Ji Ling. She wore a light purple veil over her face and a long green dress. The color of her clothes was plain, but the ethereal aura she exuded when they first met was overwhelming.
There were five or six young ladies by her side, and every single one of them had extraordinary looks, bright eyes, graceful figures, and peerless elegance.
Then, there were some guards, maids, and guards. There were hundreds of them.
Seeing Yun Yang walking over, deep in thought, the eyes of these girls shone brightly.
Amidst the morning mist, a youth dressed in purple walked over slowly. He was handsome and elegant, but there was a hint of melancholy in his light robe.
The scene was like a painting.
Even the misty morning mist seemed to have become ethereal and beautiful.
"It's you." Ji Ling's gaze was complicated. "Where are you going?"
Yun Yang replied, "What about you? Where are you going so early in the morning? "
When the other girls heard the conversation between the two, their eyes suddenly lit up. They looked at them with a smile that wasn't a smile, but they didn't say anything.
Ji Ling's gaze dimmed for a moment before she smiled and said, "Of course I'm leaving the city since I'm heading in this direction so early in the morning."
Yun Yang was surprised. "Isn't the shortcut on the opposite street?"
Ji Ling was stunned. She retorted angrily, "Why do you care?"
Some of the girls covered their mouths and giggled.
Their bright eyes exchanged glances and winked at each other. Although they did not speak, it actually gave off a feeling that they were chattering non-stop.
No wonder this girl refused to take the shortcut and insisted on leaving the city.
So that was it.
Ji Ling's heart was filled with embarrassment.
She really did not want to see Yun Yang again. It was just that she was about to leave the city, but she had somehow insisted on passing by Yun Yang's door.
However, he did not expect to meet this guy so early in the game.
"You're leaving?" Yun Yang asked in realization.
Ji Ling's anger dissipated as she nodded lightly, "I just received news that a … Young Master Ling Feng has appeared in Tiannan. He looks like my brother … we should all go and take a look …"
His voice was very low and filled with an indescribable emotion.
Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat as he said calmly, "Tiannan … So far away."
Ji Ling replied, "Yes … it's so far away."
Yun Yang said calmly, "The journey to Tiannan is seventy-five thousand miles. Take care, Miss."
Ji Ling lowered her eyes and replied, "I will, and so will you."
Yun Yang nodded.
For a moment, both of them were speechless.
A faint sense of melancholy was gradually growing and spreading.
Ji Ling's eyelids drooped as she felt her heart grow increasingly bitter.
You also know that 75,000 li.
You also know that it's a long journey.
But do you know that the chances of me coming back are very, very slim once I leave?
Do you know that the chances of us meeting again will be very slim once I leave?
A woman who was obviously a little older, with a hint of worry between her brows, took a serious look at Ji Ling and then at Yun Yang. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, Sister Ling 'er, after leaving Tiantang City this time, I really don't know if she'll ever come back here again in this lifetime."
As she spoke, she watched Yun Yang's expression.
Yun Yang said softly, "Yes … from now on, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, we can only meet in the martial world …"
The girl in white frowned, thinking to herself, "Why is this child so insensitive?"
She was a little angry, but looking at Ji Ling's pitiful expression in the morning breeze, her heart softened and she said, "We're about to reach the ends of the earth. Does this young master not have anything to say?"
Yun Yang was taken aback, "Say what?"
Gritting her teeth, the girl said, "We've known each other for a while, we should leave some traces in our lives. Sister Ling, I saw you fiddling with that sachet last night. What are you trying to do with it? "
Ji Ling was extremely embarrassed and almost screamed, "Sister Lan!"
Sister Lan was resolute, "Since you've seen it in person, why don't you give it to me? Are you really going to throw it away when we leave the city?"
Ji Ling snorted and forced a straight face. Her voice was cold as she said, "Young Master Yun, it's fate that we've known each other for a while. Since we're about to part, this young sister has something to give you, I hope that you won't mind."
As she spoke, her ears turned red. Biting her lips, she took out a small white sachet from her robes and handed it over after a moment of hesitation.
Yun Yang sighed inwardly and said, "Thank you, young lady, for your kindness."
He could only accept it, but he knew in his heart.
This was nothing more than a young girl's attachment.
Just as he had said, Tian Nan was a long journey, seventy-five thousand miles away with countless mountains and rivers in the way. A round trip would be a hundred and fifty thousand miles!
Even an expert would have to travel for a year.
Moreover, they both had things to do.
Even if they had any intentions, they would not be able to achieve anything.
It was just a legacy, but it was just … a legacy.
Seeing that Yun Yang did not respond after taking it, Sister Lan frowned and said, "Young Master Yun, my sister has already given you the sachet. Don't you have anything to say?"
Yun Yang searched his body and realized that he did not have anything on him. He chuckled bitterly and said, "Luckily, I won a saber from the bet last time. This saber is small and exquisite, it's useless for a man like me. Why don't I give it to Lady Ji? I hope that this saber can keep you safe in the martial world's turmoil. "
As he spoke, he took out the treasured saber Phoenix's Cry.
It was one of the seven swords and three sabers forged by the master blacksmith Ou Hunzi. The treasured saber Phoenix's Cry!
When Yun Yang had won it the last time, he realized that this saber was a lady's saber, or rather, a maiden's saber. He had no use for it at all.
It was no wonder that Ximen Wandai had offered this saber as a wager.
It turned out that the fellow had no use for it either.
Yun Yang had nothing else on him except for this saber. His original intention was to conceal his Divine Edge when he had something to do. Now that he had nothing else to give away, he took this saber out.
Sister Lan's eyes brightened as she said, "Young Master is so thoughtful. Sister Ling, why don't you accept it?"
Ji Ling blushed behind her veil and reached out to receive it.
Yun Yang sighed in his heart as he felt the innocent feelings of a young girl. After today's departure, I may not be able to live to see you again. If that's the case, let me give you a present before we part for the sake of your feelings.
He held the treasured saber Phoenix's Cry in his hand, his right hand gripping the hilt. With a thought, Emmie reluctantly sent out a continuous stream of life force into Phoenix's Cry.
It was done in a matter of moments.
Yun Yang flipped the scabbard and passed the hilt to Ji Ling. He said softly, "The martial world is dangerous, take care."
Ji Ling suppressed the tumultuous emotions in her heart and bit her red lips. She nodded slightly and said, "You too."
Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
As she took the treasured saber, she suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if the saber had completely merged with her body at that very moment. She did not need to wield it, but it already felt extremely comfortable.
"Have a safe journey to Tiannan." Yun Yang stood up straight, his smile gentle. "We shall part ways here. The journey is long, we shall meet again."
"We shall meet again!" Ji Ling said softly.
She then bit her lip and clamped her legs together. "Hyah!"
The healthy horse neighed and moved slowly. Ji Ling's slender body stiffened on the horse, her mind a complete blank.
The horse moved forward step by step, the sound of its hooves echoing against the ground. With each step, she felt that she was a step further away from Yun Yang.
However, she did not turn back.
She subconsciously allowed the horse to move forward, the bitterness in her heart slowly turning into sorrow and pain.
Her heart was throbbing with pain.
She could only hear her sisters talking behind her.
Sister Lan said, "Young Master Yun, take care. We shall part ways here, we shall meet again."
Another sister's voice was tinged with laughter. "Young Master Yun, I am Xia Yuhan. Remember my name … haha …"
"Young Master Yun, I am Yu Xiang 'er. Can you remember me the next time we meet?"
"Young Master Yun, I am …"
Everyone's laughter rang out incessantly as the sound of the horse's hooves grew faster and faster. She was already hundreds of feet away.
There were no more farewells behind her.
Ji Ling tried her best to resist the urge to turn back and take a look. She rode the horse stiffly, her mind blank as she walked forward.
She did not know when, but tears had already blurred her vision.
One of her hands gripped the treasured saber of Phoenix's Cry tightly.
Sister Lan urged the horse to catch up to her and sighed softly. "Sister Ling, if you're upset, why don't you cry it out? You'll feel better."
Ji Ling lowered her head, a string of tears falling soundlessly into the dust. She bit her lip and said, "Sister Lan … why did you insist that I give the sachet to him? Wouldn't it be better to forget it from now on? "
Sister Lan smiled gently and said, "Would you forget?"
Ji Ling did not reply.
"There aren't many opportunities for a woman to fall in love in her life." Sister Lan's voice was filled with melancholy as she said, "Just like today, this Young Master Yun is obviously the one we didn't see the other day. He's from Tiantang City, we're in two different worlds. "
"Perhaps after we part ways today, the both of you will never see each other again in this lifetime."
"However, to have a remembrance in your hands and to be able to feel the feelings of the past … it's a good thing. It's better than having regrets in the future. You've obviously fallen in love before, but there's no trace of it left in your life … "
"That's a real pity."
"I asked you to leave the sachet and take this saber with you because … don't have the same regrets as me in the years to come." Sister Lan said sadly, "Empty-Handed …"
Ji Ling hugged the treasured saber of Phoenix's Cry tightly. She could feel the warmth of that person on the saber. She could not help but feel reassured as she comforted her, "Sister Lan, we will definitely find my brother."
Sister Lan shook her head and sighed softly. "Yes … we will definitely find him …"
However, there was not an ounce of confidence in her voice.
Two streaks of tears fell soundlessly.
Ji Ling felt the same. Seeing that the city gate was right in front of her, she could not help but turn back to look.
The long street was silent, the morning breeze blowing a few fallen leaves from the ground. It was empty, where was Yun Yang?
She could not help but feel a pang in her heart as tears filled her eyes.
"Go!"
With a shout, the group sped up and rushed out of Tiantang City's south gate.
Two splashes sounded.
Amidst the dust, a string of water stains appeared.
