"Aye …" Zhao Lingfeng sighed and said gently, "How have you been?"
Huang Tianyi looked away and turned to look at him. Her cold eyes met his, her face expressionless. She hummed and said, "It's rare for you to have the guts to come see me."
Zhao Lingfeng smiled bitterly. "I know I owe you a lot and I don't have the face to see you."
"And then?" Huang Tianyi said, "You have the face to see me now?"
"You're shameless now." Zhao Lingfeng shook his head. "Tianyi, the past cannot be chased."
"Who chased?" The corner of Huang Tianyi's mouth twitched and he sneered, "What's there to pursue? You're just a heartless man. I've already thrown him away. Twenty years ago, the Zhao Lingfeng in my heart died. You are not him.
Zhao Lingfeng looked ashamed. "Yes, I have nothing to say. Master begged me. If I refused, I wouldn't be fit to be his disciple. Even the heavens would not forgive me!"
Huang Tianyi chuckled. "Of course, compared to your kindness, women are nothing. You can always find another."
Zhao Lingfeng sighed and shook his head. "I have nothing to say. Even though I've been thinking about you all these years, even though I wake up every night with pain in my heart and dream of you every night, what's the use? I don't have the face to see you anymore. I know your personality. You will never forgive me."
"Hmph, forgive!" Huang Tianyi smirked.
Zhao Lingfeng said calmly, "All these years, I've wanted to come see you many times but I've always held myself back. I didn't even realize it until now. Other than you, no other woman has ever entered my heart."
Huang Tianyi glared at him and said, "Speak. What do you want?"
Zhao Lingfeng shook his head.
Huang Tianyi smirked. "If it wasn't for your faction, would you be so thick-skinned as to come here?"
Zhao Lingfeng said, "The matter with the sect was just a good excuse. Being able to see you and see that you're fine, I have no regrets. Even if I die, I can rest in peace."
Huang Tianyi glanced at him. "I'm not the Huang Tianyi from before. You don't have to say that again!"
Zhao Lingfeng revealed a bitter smile as he nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll take my leave."
"Sure." Huang Tianyi said in disdain, "Then let's go."
Zhao Lingfeng clasped his fist and said, "About the jade pendant …"
"That is mine." Huang Tian Yi said coldly, "Return it to its rightful owner."
Zhao Lingfeng looked at the jade pendant in her hand. The white jade pendant matched her right hand, and her hand was like white jade, soft and smooth.
A pained expression appeared on Zhao Lingfeng's face as he stared unblinkingly at the white jade pendant and the jade-like hand. He wanted to go up and take that jade-like hand and never let go.
Unfortunately, their identities were completely different and it was impossible for them to be together again. Time had passed and he could no longer hold Huang Tianyi's hand. They were so close but so far apart.
Huang Tianyi sneered, "Please!"
"You're too heartless!" Zhao Lingfeng sighed.
Huang Tianyi touched the warm white jade. The white jade gave off a warm luster as if there was a clear spring flowing within it. Furthermore, the jade was as soft as her own skin. She sighed to herself.
She remembered clearly that this white jade pendant did not look like this. It seemed like the white jade had shrunk a little and was more solid and delicate. It was obvious that it had been played with often to become like this.
However, the more it was like this, the angrier she became. She glared at Zhao Lingfeng. "What else do you want to say?"
Zhao Lingfeng looked away and sighed. "Fine, I'll leave then."
"Please!" Huang Tianyi clenched her teeth and said coldly.
When Zhao Lingfeng turned around, he had already transformed into the old man from before. His face was slightly purple and he looked majestic as he strode out.
Huang Tianyi watched him walk out step by step until he finally disappeared at the entrance of the hall. She did not say a word. Her cold gaze changed and her eyes became blurry. Scenes of the past flashed before her eyes. Sweetness and pain, longing and hatred were entangled together. They were cut, cut, and sorted out.
Zhao Lingfeng walked down the stairs and down the stone path. He finally left the Mystic Heart Faction and disappeared. The next moment, he appeared in the Flying Heaven Faction.
He stood in front of the window of the basilica with his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.
That direction was where the Mystic Heart Faction was. He could almost see Huang Tianyi standing in front of the window as well. The two of them looked at each other, worried about each other. However, they could not be together, they could not stay together, and they had to kill each other.
"Faction Leader, Leader Hu is here to see you." A clear voice came from outside.
"Let him in," Zhao Lingfeng said.
Hu Tianlai quickly entered the basilica and gave a fist salute. "Faction Leader."
"Did you find out?" Zhao Lingfeng looked at him coldly.
Hu Tianlai hesitated and nodded slowly. "The Mountain Shaking Faction is indeed in cahoots with the Mystic Heart Faction."
"What happened?" Zhao Lingfeng asked.
Hu Tianlai said, "According to our spies, Faction Leader Huang personally went to the Mountain Shaking Faction a few days ago and formed an alliance with Faction Leader Sun."
"Heh!" Zhao Lingfeng nodded and waved his hand.
The Mountain Shaking Faction Leader Sun Dahui was from the same generation as him and had always admired Huang Tianyi. Unfortunately, Huang Tianyi had never treated him well and only loved him.
He scoffed. He did not expect her to form an alliance with Sun Dahui!
He gritted his teeth and a wave of jealousy rose from the bottom of his heart. His face darkened and the air around him seemed to have frozen.
Hu Tianlai said, "Faction Leader, did you go to see Faction Leader Huang?"
"Yes," Zhao Lingfeng said slowly.
Hu Tianlai was overjoyed. "Did you take down Faction Leader Huang?"
Zhao Lingfeng gave him a sidelong glance.
Hu Tianlai hid his joy and smiled. "Faction Leader Huang, do you not care about old times?"
"Don't think about it. Order all disciples to stay in the faction!" Zhao Lingfeng said coldly.
"Yes." Hu Tianlai quickly agreed and hesitated. "Faction Leader Huang, do you really not care about old times and want to fight to the death?"
"Let's slow down first," Zhao Lingfeng said.
Hu Tianlai knew that there was still room for negotiation and smiled. "Yes!"
He gave a fist salute and left.
Zhao Lingfeng stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of the Mystic Heart Faction. He sighed.
He understood Huang Tianyi. The more straightforward she was, the better it would be. If she was calm and did not show her emotions, it would mean that she had truly let go.
He felt a little guilty. Once their relationship was mixed with the interests of the faction, it was as if their relationship had changed. It was not what he wanted. Unfortunately, he was forced to do so. Even if he was skilled in martial arts, there was nothing he could do.
Unless he could let go of everything and find a successor to pass on the position of Faction Leader, then he would truly be free.
When he thought about this, he suddenly had an urge to abandon everything else and hold Huang Tianyi's hand. The two of them would be free and unfettered, no longer concerned about the affairs of the world and the rise and fall of the faction.
Chu Li attacked the Sky Orb again and again in his courtyard. He failed again and again and was injured by the power of the Sky Orb's rebound. After recovering, he became slightly stronger.
He felt that if he continued like this, he would one day be able to break through the Sky Orb and reach the Upper Heaven.
He did not know how much time had passed. Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
