(This is the last chapter of this volume. In fact, I've always wanted to know if any readers would read the poem at the beginning after finishing a volume. I really recommend it for everyone to read. It's very difficult to choose a poem that fits the content and spirit of a volume, but I'm very lucky to find it every time, including the next volume. Thank you to a certain student.)

The Thoughtless Sword sped up again after entering the Empty Realm. It entered the Thunder Region twice to be baptized by the thunderstorm and replenished its spiritual energy. On the evening of the second day, it arrived at the deep part of the sea.
The Huge Whirlpool kept swallowing the seawater as it had done in the past years, but the sound it made wasn't very violent. Instead, it was gentle and pleasant. No wonder it was called the Secret Realm of Singing Spring.
The fog enveloping the islands was still so thick that even the fish couldn't get in and out. No one knew how the boy and Xiwang Sun left.
The Giant sat cross-legged in the sea, holding the ten-thousand-year-old tree in his left hand and supporting his head with his right hand. His eyelids were drooping. He was very sleepy, but he still looked at the fog from time to time.
The Thoughtless Sword fell from the sky and flew in front of his eyes. Shaking its tail, it drew a few circles in the air and then stopped.
The Giant's eyes were full of joy. He reached out his finger and touched the Thoughtless Sword carefully.
His movement was so precise that the Thoughtless Sword didn't fly away.
The Thoughtless Sword flew away with a swoosh.
Looking at the direction where the sword disappeared, the Giant waved his hand.
A gust of wind rose in the sky.
The Giant took back his hand and yawned while covering his mouth. Looking down at the islands in the fog, a simple and honest smile appeared on his face.
He stood up and walked to the Huge Whirlpool hundreds of miles away in the north, throwing the ten-thousand-year-old tree into it.
He shouted towards the west, then turned around and walked towards the distant foreign continent in the east.
The next morning, the first hurricane of this summer came to Penglai Island.
When the boatmen and sailors were a bit nervous, they suddenly heard a faint roar in the wind. They couldn't help but shout with ecstasy.
The Sea God sent a message!
They could set sail!
Thousands of treasure ships and divine ships left the shore and sailed toward the deep part of the sea, leaving countless beautiful traces on the blue sea.
…
…
The blue lake reflected the sunlight, like a mirror.
The sunlight gradually dispersed.
The water broke.
A boat with black awning sailed by slowly.
Suddenly, raindrops fell on the surface of the lake, creating countless ripples.
This was the Misty Rain Lake of Shangzhou City. The scenery here was excellent, and it was the most popular place for tourists from other places besides Zhai Xing Lou.
Liu Shisui sat at the bow of the boat, holding a bamboo fishing rod in his hand. Xiao He sat across from him, sewing something with a needle and thread in her hand.
For a long time, no fish took the bait.
The light rain created small bubbles on the surface of the water, which looked like the bubbles of fish, which was even more annoying.
Liu Shisui had a good temper. His expression was calm, and there was not a trace of impatience.
Seeing that he wasn't paying attention to her, Xiao He rolled her eyes slightly and blew at the surface of the lake quietly.
In the past, when she was in Haizhou City and on the run, she had always been very dignified and quiet in front of Liu Shisui.
Because of this small action, her whole body became lively, very attractive.
The fishing line trembled slightly and straightened instantly.
Liu Shisui was a little surprised. He pulled up the fishing rod and found that it was a koi. He said happily, "Sure."
Xiao He smiled sweetly at him, saying, "Young Master, there is nothing you can't do."
Liu Shisui waved his hand and said, "I'm not a Young Master."
Xiao He looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "Young Master, of course you are a Young Master."
Liu Shisui said seriously, "Only someone like my Young Master is a Young Master."
Hearing this, Xiao He suddenly felt a bit of pain and coldness on her shoulder. She was not in the mood to continue using her trick, and snorted discontentedly.
Liu Shisui didn't understand why her mood was so bad all of a sudden, wondering if it had something to do with the rain.
The rain suddenly stopped.
The midsummer weather was indeed like a girl's mood.
The sunlight suddenly became more intense, and steam came out of the lake, making it very hot.
Even though Cultivation practitioners didn't fear the cold or the heat, they would still feel uncomfortable. Besides, the storm had calmed down, so it was time to leave.
Liu Shisui untied the koi and threw it back into the lake, saying, "Let's go."
The old scholar had reminded them before he died that they should return to Aoyama after everything had calmed down. It had been dozens of days since the battle of the Cloud Platform, so the situation should have been stabilized.
Thinking that they were going to Aoyama and meet Jing Jiu, whom she was most afraid of, Xiao He uttered "hmm" nervously.
The black awning boat docked at the shore, and they switched to a horse-drawn carriage.
The horse pulling the carriage was a docile white horse. The carriage traveled southward from Shangzhou City at a moderate pace.
Liu Shisui didn't choose to ride the sword, because it would be too conspicuous.
The Cloud Platform had been destroyed, but many assassins in Bulao Lin had survived. Those assassins must have wanted to kill him. Moreover, he was really in danger due to the incident with Lo Huainan.
The carriage stopped when it was about thirty miles away from Cloudy Town. Taking advantage of the darkness, Liu Shisui led Xiao He over two mountains and arrived in front of a cliff.
Standing by the cliff's edge and looking at the scattered lights in the village at the foot of the mountain, Liu Shisui took a deep breath.
When he saw his parents picking up the lotus leaves in the small courtyard, his expression became even softer.
"Why don't you go and meet them?" asked Xiao He.
Liu Shisui fell silent for a while and said, "We'll talk about it in a few days, if … nothing really happens."
Xiao He glanced at him, thinking that if they went back to Aoyama, what could possibly happen to them? After all, he was the biggest contributor to the destruction of Bulao Lin.
After crossing two more mountains and returning to the carriage, Xiao He dismantled the formation. The two of them boarded the carriage and went to Cloudy Town. It was early in the morning when they arrived.
The first floor of the restaurant was open, and the steamer was placed by the street. The steam coming out of the steamer blended with the clouds and fog coming from the peaks, making it hard to distinguish them.
Looking at the distant peaks in the fog, Liu Shisui finally felt relieved. He said to Xiao He, "Let's eat something first, and then we'll go there directly."
He used four coins to buy two vegetarian buns, one for Xiao He.
Looking at the buns that were almost bigger than her face, Xiao He didn't know how to eat them, feeling a bit worried.
Liu Shisui didn't pay attention to her. He tore off the paper stuck on the buns and took a big bite, feeling quite satisfied.
Suddenly, he sensed something, raising his head to look at the sky.
A moment later, a dozen sword lights broke through the sky, followed by the light emitted by two other magic treasures. He could even vaguely see the shadow of an enormous cloud boat.
The small town was enshrouded in clouds and fog, so ordinary people couldn't see the scene in the sky like he could; but the residents of Cloudy Town were very experienced in this aspect. They knew that some Cultivation practitioners had passed by just by looking at the changes in the clouds, so they started to talk about it.
Liu Shisui was a bit worried, wondering if it was an enemy from the outside.
As he was about to throw away the buns and ride the sword to chase after them with Xiao He, he heard the discussions around him.
Then he noticed that the residents of the town were all jubilant and didn't look nervous at all.
"That's the Immortal Masters' business. What does it have to do with us?"
"It's such a joyous occasion. Can't we be happy?"
"That's the only daughter of the Headmaster of the Zhongzhou School; she's a real fairy! With such a family background and identity, she actually came to Aoyama in person to propose marriage. Even we feel proud, not to mention the Immortal Masters of Aoyama! "
Hearing the discussions of the residents, Xiao He was very surprised, asking, "Who is she proposing marriage to?"
Liu Shisui was also very surprised, asking, "Could it be Young Master?"
