Chapter 1625: Leaving
Immortal Xuan Qing shook his head with regret, “That’s what I said! That young rascal got lucky! My precious disciple is both smart and beautiful, and now she ends up as that old guy’s granddaughter-in-law. What a loss!”
Hexi was amused by their reaction. Seriously, why the over-the-top act?
Just as Hexi was about to take off the wedding dress, Gu Youlan who had been sitting quietly nearby making knots in a rope suddenly stood up. Staring at Hexi, she murmured, “Miss… Miss… Miss!”
As she said that, she rushed toward Hexi, knelt in front of her, and started sobbing.
Hexi was taken aback. Just as she was about to check if Gu Youlan had a relapse of her old ailment, Gu Youlan extended her hand, pa.s.sing the finished knotted rope to Hexi. “Miss, you need to live well. You’re a good person; you’ll surely find happiness.”
With that said, she stood up and ran out of the room with a cheerful smile like a child.
Hexi and the others were confused by this turn of events. Why did Gu Youlan suddenly call her Miss? Did something startle her?
Hexi examined the knotted rope, turning it over in her hands. She tilted it to a certain angle and paused slightly, thinking: Huh, why does this knot look familiar?
While she was trying to remember where she had seen such a knot before, Immortal Xuan Qing suddenly sprang up from the ground beside her.
Hexi looked over in surprise, only to see Immortal Xuan Qing open his palm. On his rough hand, the blood-red characters appeared: “Help”!
Immortal Xuan Qing’s expression immediately turned extremely solemn, with a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. He remained silent for a long while.
Hexi walked over and said, “Master, did something happen? If you have something urgent to deal with, you can leave first.”
A look of hesitation surfaced on Immortal Xuan Qing’s face, “However, I have this uneasy feeling about your situation. I’m concerned that the Green Vine Clan and Nangong Family might still target you. I initially planned to leave after your wedding, but now…”
“It’s fine, Master.” Hexi held Immortal Xuan Qing’s rough hand and said softly, “Master, I can protect myself, and Nangong Yu will look out for me. If you have important matters to attend to, you should go. If you miss this chance, I fear you’ll regret it in the future.”
Hexi smiled and said, “Master, you are so long-winded. Don’t worry, I will prepare more varieties of fine wine for you to drink when you come back.”
“Hahaha, that’s right!” Immortal Xuan Qing laughed while stroking his beard, “Since I missed out on this celebratory drink, I’ll make up for it tenfold or even a hundredfold in the future. My dear disciple, wait for me. I’ll be back before you know it.”
After saying that, Immortal Xuan Qing did not stay any longer and vanished from the Sealed Dragon Domain in a flash.
Immortal Xuan Qing had always believed people coveted Xi Yue for her wood spiritual root. However, he didn’t realize that Hexi’s talents weren’t limited to just the wood spirit root. It was, in fact, the wood source, something every martial artist would go crazy for.
Xi Yue never got the chance to explain the matter clearly. Meanwhile, Immortal Xuan Qing had always taken the wood spiritual root seriously. Had Immortal Xuan Qing known the truth, he wouldn’t have left his disciple so readily.
…
The 9th of September had finally arrived.
The entire Yanjing City seemed to be painted in a bright and fiery red.
The sounds of drums, laughter, and chatter filled every street and alley. The entire city was buzzing with excitement.
