Yun Mingshen’s eyes widened in surprise, but monts later, they narrowed as he began to ponder how to ensure that they would not bring her back ho.
Although the Yun family no longer existed, Yun Mingshen did not want her to go to the Bai family instead, as he knew that they were known to be selfish and arrogant. If Bai Rouyun went to their family, she was likely to suffer, and even be treated as an object that could be exchanged for benefits.
"I have already been contacted by the Bai family. They have sent a servant nad Bai Mulan here to look for , but I am not willing to return to their family."
Bai Rouyun could still rember their attitude when she had her first contact with them, and she was still resistant towards their family. On the other hand, Yun Mingshen had always given her a very comfortable feeling, and she truly felt as if she had found her family with him around.
She did not hold anything back as she quickly explained the entire situation with her and the Bai family from the Wushi Continent. Her words were clear and objective. Although she felt disgruntled with their attitude, they were still the biological family of her past life, so she was not willing to sar their reputation, but she did not wish to return to worship her ancestors either.
Mo Chu looked at the two and felt at ease. Although he and Bai Rouyun felt as if they were siblings, it could not erase the fact that all those who shared a kinship with her had let her down.
Even if she did not show any disappointnt on her face, he knew that she was heartbroken, and that she was longing for soone who would care for her, hence he was truly relieved to know that she had her own family that truly wanted to pamper her.
Mo Chu was talented when compared to other cultivators on this continent, but he was also aware that he would never be able to join her and Li Moyun on the Wushi Continent.
His potential would be exhausted when he reached the limits of this continent, and thus he had long since accepted that his journey alongside his two masters would end here.
He had long been worried about Bai Rouyun entering the Wushi Continent on her own. Would she be able to find Li Moyun? Would she encounter danger during the journey through the barrier? What would happen to her when she arrived?
However, knowing that she was the biological cousin of Yun Mingshen, and witnessing how much he valued her, all these worries turned into nothingness, and he felt a strange peace he had not felt before.
After acknowledging each other as family, Bai Rouyun went to withdraw from the tournant. Although she had not intended to pay much attention to this contest and instead wanted to use it as a ans to enter the center of the continent, she had now found another path to tread.
Ti flowed like water, the seasons ca and the seasons went. Many things began to change on the continent, but not many noticed these things, and kept living their lives like before.
In the Riluo Empire, a catastrophe had happened a year before, where the entire General’s Estate had been washed in blood, and every mber of the Bai family had been murdered and tortured in the most brutal way.
Especially the Young General Bai had suffered a fate of extre agony before death finally claid him, and no one seed to understand where this intense hatred had originated from.
Even so, as the months went by, the tense atmosphere in the Riluo Empire began to soften, and they all returned to their everyday lives.
However, as peace had once more found its ho amongst the citizens, another disaster struck, as the Crown Prince was found to have been castrated by an unknown perpetrator. His life had been saved, but he would no longer be able to sire offspring, so the Emperor had no other option than to withdraw his position as the next heir to the throne.
It was not only the Riluo Empire that suffered a few blows. Minor episodes began appearing all over the entire continent, and many began to question their origin, but none of the powerful sects or factions dared to pry into the identity of the perpetrator.
It was not that they had no interest, but everyone who had been searching for answers had vanished from the surface of the earth, and no one knew what had happened to them.
During this ti, Mo Chu had not been idle. Since he had no chance to ascend alongside Bai Rouyun, he decided to stay back and protect what she and Li Moyun had been fighting for.
The orphans that Bai Rouyun had picked up in the Imperial Capital of the Richu Empire had grown older, and had beco his right-hand n as he slowly took control of the Eternal Shadow Palace.
He wanted their faction to stay strong, so that if one day Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun needed a place to rest, they would always be able to return ho. He, and the rest of their faction, would always be waiting for their return.
Four years had gone by, and many changes had taken place. Bai Rouyun was standing atop a cliff with Yun Mingshen on one side, and Mo Chu, Qin Huiling, and their son Mo Qiwang on the other.
During these four years, Bai Rouyun had been focused fully on cultivating. She had no worries or chains, as she understood where she needed to go, and had spent her ti within the Primal Chaos Pagoda.
Inside the Primal Chaos Dinsion, she had been cultivating alongside Xiao Bao, Xiao Jin, Xiao Mao, and Xiao Hua. All of them had understood the importance of increasing their strength, and even the usually childish Golden Emperor Vine had worked hard, after being motivated and encouraged by the stable Cloud Leopard.
During the four years where Bai Rouyun was cultivating, the Shitian Tower began to withdraw from the cultivation world. Although it still engaged in business, many things were becoming more and more mysterious, which also resulted in many theories throughout the entire continent.
Bai Rouyun was also worried about this developnt, but whenever she asked Xue Jingyu, he told her not to worry, and she could only let it be.
As the Shitian Tower withdrew, the Eternal Shadow Palace began to beco increasingly powerful and take over the position as the most prominent sect on the continent.
The wind was picking up and the skies above had turned dark as thunder clouds began to gather.
"I guess this will be farewell."
Bai Rouyun withdrew her gaze from the clouds above and looked at her two good friends by her side.
The four years were evident in their facial features. Both Mo Chu and Qin Huiling had matured, and a certain serenity had appeared within their eyes.
The young boy, Mo Qiwang, was rely a year old, but ever since Qin Huiling had found out that she was pregnant, laughter and joy had been an everyday occurrence in the Eternal Shadow Palace.
It had been three years since Mo Chu and Qin Huiling got married, and it was also back then that Yun Mingshen gave them a special gift. In the Wushi Continent, certain dication existed to boost one’s cultivation level, but when taken, it was impossible to advance further for the rest of their lives.
Mo Chu had consud one of these pills, and his rank had reached the Innate Realm, Violet Tier, Seventh Layer, which was known as the very peak of the continent.
He had, since then, taken over the Eternal Shadow Palace, and worked hard to maintain their standing in the world.
Bai Rouyun was aware that everything had been solved. She had nothing holding her back, and her heart was eager to ascend to the continent above.
Four years had gone by, and while she had enjoyed the feeling of having a biological cousin, she still missed Li Moyun. To her, he would always be the most important person.
"It is not an eternal goodbye, rely a separation. I have no doubt that one day, we will et each other again.
"You have a light on your body that makes others attracted to you. Your smile and laughter is infectious and everyone will beco happy by being around you.
"Although you will be leaving, you have been an important figure in our lives, and we will never forget your brilliance.
"When you arrive over there, make sure to take care. Don’t let anyone bully you, and make sure to protect yourself. If anything should go wrong, do not despair. No matter how lost you might feel, we will always be waiting here for you, in case you need a place to return to and relax."
Qin Huiling’s eyes were red as tears welled up within. Her voice was trembling but she held her head high and cald herself enough to say those important words.
Mo Chu was a man of few words. He had never been able to voice out his emotions, as he had grown up alone and knew that it would be considered a weakness.
However, now that he stood by his wife’s side and looked at the two treasures in his life, he could not refrain from tearing up.
When he first t Bai Rouyun, he had never once guessed that the outco would be like this, and that he too, could get a family and happiness.
Although Li Moyun was the one who had given him a second chance in life, and he knew just how much he owed his master, Bai Rouyun had taught him that life was more than just living. He was grateful and determined to always be the safe haven that would wait behind in case she ever needed it.
The emotions were overflowing and all this ti Yun Mingshen had stayed quiet. A smile adorned his face as he looked at the woman by his side.
Bai Rouyun had also changed throughout the four years. Her cultivation base had skyrocketed, which had given her a more ethereal appearance, and her beauty had fully blood from the tender and youthful appearance, until taking the shape of a more mature and adult version now.
Anyone who witnessed her beauty would be unsure whether she was a spirit or human, but such a beautiful cousin made Yun Mingshen proud. He could not wait to show that old man of Li Moyun’s family just how lucky their lost son had been. Even when sent to the lower continent, he had still managed to marry such a treasure.
Yun Mingshen had spent four years guarding Bai Rouyun. His initial purpose of coming here was to search for a special treasure, but he had long since found what he was looking for.
Unfortunately, the treasure he was looking for had long since accepted Bai Rouyun as its master, so he had elegantly pretended that he did not know. He would never let her encounter any danger, and even if he was killed, her secret would enter the grave with him.
"It is ti."
Yun Mingshen had witnessed the tearstained farewell, but soon lightning and thunder began to roll in the sky, and his expression turned grave.
It was ti for the two of them to break through the barrier and enter the Wushi Continent.
