Eastern Barren Territory, Hundred Lands, Nandou Nation, East Sea.
A dark golden Black Wind Condor spread its wings over the East Sea. It wasn't very fast.
On the back of the Black Wind Condor were Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu.
Ye Futian had come all the way from the Barren State. He first went to Book Mountain in the Eastern Barren Territory, then to the Nandou Nation and Cangye Kingdom. Finally, he passed by East Sea and went to the academy before heading to Qingzhou City.
In the end, only he, Hua Jieyu, and the Little Condor were left.
Back then, the Little Condor had also come from Qingzhou City in that mountain range.
Thinking back now, it seemed like a century had passed.
They weren't in a hurry. Otherwise, with Ye Futian's current level, he could cross the space and reach Qingzhou City in one step.
He didn't do that. Instead, he walked the same path and felt the peace. Perhaps he wanted Hua Jieyu to feel it too.
Hua Jieyu was very quiet along the way. Ye Futian had no way of knowing what she was thinking. However, it was not as if Ye Futian had not tested her before. The first time he saw Hua Jieyu in the Heavenly Mandate Academy, he had Feixue follow him.
He didn't reveal Feixue's special ability to others. It would be very useful for the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate core figures in the future.
According to Feixue, when Hua Jieyu faced him, her emotions were extremely calm, like water. There were no waves, no love, no hatred, or any other emotions.
"This is the East Sea. Back then, the Master, the Little Condor, and I flew over the East Sea from Qingzhou City to Donghai City. The first thing we did was to take a look outside the Nandou Clan. You were cultivating at Donghai Academy then," Ye Futian said softly in the sea breeze.
Along the way, he said a lot. Hua Jieyu listened quietly and nodded occasionally, but she rarely responded.
"I still remember the first time I went to Donghai Academy, and I remember how you looked when I saw you again in the School of the Emperor Star." Ye Futian looked at Hua Jieyu's side profile. Of course, she was still as beautiful as ever, but it was different from before. She used to be young and inexperienced. She had the demeanor of a shy girl, like a fairy, full of spirit.
"But I still like you better now."
Ye Futian smiled gently. He reached out and took her hand.
Hua Jieyu's fingers trembled. She looked down and saw Ye Futian clasping her fingers tightly. She raised her head and looked at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes. Ye Futian's smile was extremely gentle. "Jieyu, no matter what you become, you will still be my wife."
Hua Jieyu averted her gaze. She did not look at Ye Futian but looked straight ahead. However, she did not let go of Ye Futian's hand, allowing him to hold it tightly.
"Jieyu, when I see Master and Masteress, I'll tell them that you temporarily lost your memory due to your severe injuries. Master and Masteress only have you as their only daughter. You can understand them, right?" Ye Futian smiled and asked.
Master and Masteress would definitely act intimately when they saw Jieyu. He was worried that Jieyu would react too strongly. If that happened, Master and Masteress would be even sadder. They had been sad for many years.
Hua Jieyu thought for a moment.
"Yes." She nodded gently. Ye Futian smiled.
"Have a seat." Ye Futian took Hua Jieyu's hand and sat on the back of the Black Wind Condor. It was as if they had returned to many years ago. Looking at the island in the distance, Ye Futian gradually smiled. He had been to many places, but the one that brought him the most peace was still this small island city.
Qingzhou City was still so quiet, as if it was a place outside of the world, aloof from worldly affairs.
In front of the hut by the lake, some people were playing chess and some were watching.
One of them was a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt. Although he was middle-aged, one could still see the elegance and handsomeness on him. If he were twenty years younger, he would definitely be a handsome man.
Hua Fengliu's greatest hobby these years was playing chess. After many years, he had developed a habit of leisure and peace.
There were also many people watching.
At this time, two figures walked behind the crowd and watched quietly. They did not disturb the crowd.
However, the temperament of the two was too outstanding. There were still people looking back at the two, thinking that they were a stunning couple.
Moreover, this young man looked so young, but he had a head of silver hair, and upon closer inspection, this woman seemed vaguely familiar.
"Young man, you also know chess?" asked an old man next to him. The people watching were all older.
"I know a little." Ye Futian smiled and nodded.
"How is that guy's chess skills?" the old man pointed at Hua Fengliu and asked.
"Not good," Ye Futian said with a smile.
"Oh, young man, you sure talk big." The old man smiled. "Then you can go in and play a few games with him."
In the surrounding area, no one could beat that guy. He did not know whether this young man was bragging or not. He was happy to see someone beat that guy.
"I still have something to do. Let's end this game here," said the person opposite Hua Fengliu. Said the person on the other side of Hua Fengliu. Then, he messed up the game. Everyone around them laughed. They knew that Hua Fengliu had lost.
"Young man, why don't you try?" The old man next to him turned around and looked at Ye Futian behind the crowd.
"Sure." Ye Futian smiled and nodded. "But, I don't dare to beat him."
Hua Fengliu's attention had always been on the chess game. These years, he had been aloof from worldly affairs. He had even lost interest in cultivation. Therefore, he was much less vigilant and rarely observed his surroundings.
But now that he heard this voice, he found it very familiar.
Raising his head, he saw the white-haired figure in the crowd and was slightly stunned. Then he smiled and said, "Why did you come back if you have nothing to do?"
"If I don't come back to see you, I'm afraid I'll forget about you," Ye Futian joked.
"If you forget, then forget. I've never cared about you." Hua Fengliu looked very calm. Ye Futian naturally knew that this guy had always been like this.
Although Ye Futian was smiling, he felt a little sad. Hua Fengliu had more white hair. His temples were already gray.
"Master, look at who this is." Ye Futian moved to the side. Behind the crowd, a beautiful figure stood there quietly. Hua Fengliu, who still sat there quietly even when he saw her, dropped the chess piece in his hand.
He trembled and stood up. His eyes instantly turned red.
"Jieyu." Hua Fengliu walked out of the crowd and came to Hua Jieyu. He reached out his trembling hand and touched Hua Jieyu's hair and face with his fingertips. It was as if he wanted to see if it was real.
His fingertips were also trembling.
Seeing this scene, Ye Futian felt even more sad. He had wronged Hua Jieyu and Hua Fengliu. Although he had brought Jieyu back, she was not complete.
"Jieyu, what's wrong?" Hua Fengliu saw Jieyu's strange expression and could not help but ask her.
"Master, Jieyu was injured so badly that she forgot many things. But she will definitely recover in the future," Ye Futian comforted. That was all he could say.
Hua Fengliu was stunned. Memory loss?
He seemed to have gone through a battle in his mind. Then he looked at Hua Jieyu and said, "It's good that she's still here. It's good that she's still here."
All these years, he often thought of his daughter. In his dreams, in his memories, that beautiful figure was a pain that he could not erase.
Although she had forgotten, she had come back alive. This was already a good ending, wasn't it?
"Jieyu, do you still remember me?" Hua Fengliu asked with a trembling voice, as if he had a glimmer of hope.
Hua Jieyu looked at him quietly. Hua Fengliu already understood. He withdrew his hand as if he had nowhere to put it. He was actually a little nervous.
"Let's go home first and let your mother take a look." Hua Fengliu wanted to pull Jieyu but then he stopped.
"Okay." Hua Jieyu nodded lightly. On the way here, Ye Futian had already told her that she would not reject it.
"Let's go." Ye Futian took Hua Jieyu's hand and left with Hua Fengliu. The people here watched them leave.
"Fengliu's disciple, is it him?" An old man said. Back then, Ye Futian had caused a great commotion in Qingzhou City. Even now, he was a legend in the hearts of many young people.
"Yes, he's back. He's so handsome." The people next to him nodded.
Hua Fengliu and Ye Futian came to the hut. Before they entered, Hua Fengliu shouted, "Wenyin, look who's back."
They went into the courtyard of the hut and saw two figures walking out.
Nandou Wenyin had a smile on her face, but the moment she saw Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu, she could not move.
"Jieyu." Nandou Wenyin's voice trembled. In just a moment, tears were already streaming down her face.
"Daddy."
A crisp voice was heard. The figure beside Nandou Wenyin trotted toward Hua Fengliu, holding his hand. "You're right," Hua Fengliu said.
It was a girl, about five or six years old. She was very beautiful, like a girl from a fairy tale. Just one look was enough to make people like her.
Ye Futian was about to call her Masteress, but then his eyes were deeply attracted by the little girl and he could not look away.
From the girl, he seemed to see the shadow of Hua Jieyu. Although there was a big difference in age, they were still very similar.
The girl took Hua Fengliu's hand and looked up at Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu. A childish voice came from her mouth. "Daddy, sister is so beautiful, like a fairy."
When Hua Fengliu heard the words "sister", he could not help but cry.
Yes, that was her sister, her biological sister.
Ye Futian squatted down. His eyes were a little red. He reached out and gently placed his hand on the girl's face. His movements were so gentle, as if the girl would be hurt if he used a little more force.
"What's your name?" Ye Futian asked softly, his voice extremely gentle.
"Hua Nianyu." The girl looked at Ye Futian curiously, and a childish voice came from her little mouth.
In just a moment, Ye Futian's already red eyes could no longer hold back, and tears fell down.
Nianyu, a beautiful name.
But this name broke his heart.
How did Master and Masteress get through all these years!
