Chen Yi turned his head to look, seeing Ning Xue not wearing the crimson armor that represented the identity of military officers of Sky Do City and surrounding guard cities, but instead dressed in a shimring white long gown.
Her graceful figure was gentle and charming, just like when she was on Sword Edge Mountain.
Chen Yi nodded with a smile, "I’ll return tomorrow."
This ti returning to Tianyuan Continent, aside from picking up Lin Xueru and others, he also had the intention of going back to take a look.
Chen Taiping, Xia Wanwan, Xu Sannian, Erhua, and others.
Therefore, he chose to return to Tianyuan Continent a day early, planning to spend so ti in Kyoto Prefecture and Grand Void Sect.
"Mr. Ning also wants to go back?"
Just about to nod, Ning Xue heard this address and couldn’t help but teasingly say:
"Now you are already the old ancestor of the Human Race, you should be cautious and dignified in your speech, not so casual."
Every ti she heard the title "Mr. Ning", the first thing Ning Xue thought of was not her days with Chen Yi on Sword Edge Mountain, but instead directly rembered that afternoon in the Imperial City of Kyoto Prefecture—
She competed with Chen Yi in swordsmanship, but was defeated by the three-year-old Chen Yi.
Earlier, when Ning Xue recalled this matter, she didn’t feel anything particular, just treated it as a morable event for a lifeti.
But as Chen Yi’s strength grew stronger and his status rose, she felt it might be better not to rember many things.
Especially the term "Mr. Ning", it always made her feel a bit shy.
Chen Yi guessed her thoughts, and laughed saying, "I am the old ancestor of the Human Race, but I cannot change the significance of ’Mr. Ning’ in my heart."
"Back then, you taught the Sword Dao and provided with many elixirs needed for cultivation."
"You deserve the title of ’Mr. Ning’."
Ning Xue’s face turned red instantly, "Junior Brother, don’t tease , now Master is still in the city, if he..."
At this mont, a voice rang in their ears, "Ahem, I haven’t heard anything, you don’t need to pay attention to ."
"I haven’t heard anything either, continue on."
"I say, you two elders, can’t you speak, truly the older the less ashad."
The voices were from Li Qingzhou, Xiao Huang, and Yue Ruifeng in Youdu City.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi inevitably also silently cursed the old shaless ones.
Ning Xue had already lowered her head to the lowest point, her face flushed like a fairy walking out of a painting.
Seeing this, Chen Yi stepped forward to hold her waist, "Senior Sister, let’s go take a look at the new city over there."
Speaking, without waiting for Ning Xue to react, he took a step forward, arriving at the strong city being built by the Human Race.
With the second step, they were in the heart of the Demon Court, near the banks of the Netherworld River.
Looking southward, approximately twenty thousand miles away was the towering Demon Imperial Palace.
Upon arriving here, Chen Yi loosened his hand, his gaze falling on the Netherworld River before his eyes, still and lifeless.
Without the Barbarian Emperor cultivating the Qianyou Xuanming Divine Power within, the Netherworld River had returned to its forr tranquility, not a ripple to be seen.
Vaguely, he could see the figures of resentful spirits and evil ghosts seemingly sealed below the river’s surface, drifting mindlessly beneath.
Then Chen Yi sat at the edge of the city wall, beckoning to Ning Xue: "Senior Sister, co sit."
Ning Xue’s eyes gazed at him, her pupils reflecting his silhouette, hesitating for a mont before walking to his side to gently sit down beside him.
In a trance, it felt like she and Chen Yi had a similar scene before.
Just like on Sword Edge Mountain, every morning before dawn, Chen Yi would get up early and sit at the cliff top beside the Martial Arts Arena, watching the sunrise.
Occasionally, Ning Xue would accompany him.
However, at that ti, Ning Xue considered herself the Senior Sister of Sword Edge Mountain and wouldn’t sit beside him, mostly standing under the tree behind him, watching the distant clouds together.
Those were the days, just like this mont now.
Though the place had changed from Sword Edge Mountain to the new city on Taizhou Mountain Battlefield, the people had not changed.
Ning Xue thought, glancing sideways at Chen Yi, her heart silently shaking her head.
Actually, the people have changed a bit too.
Junior Brother Chen Yi is now the old ancestor of the Human Race, whether in cultivation, divine skills, or status, he’s no longer the boy he was on Sword Edge Mountain.
He has beco the towering "Azure Dragon Sword Immortal."
Ning Xue’s mind couldn’t help but recall the words Chen Yi spoke the day he beca the old ancestor of the Human Race:
"As a mber of the Human Race, one should aspire for the Human Race and uphold eternal peace."
Thinking of this statent that stirred countless hearts and minds, Ning Xue couldn’t help feeling a bit gratified.
Seeing Chen Yi truly standing at the pinnacle of the Human Race, despite feeling the gap between them widen, she ultimately hoped for Chen Yi to beco stronger, to beco better.
At this mont, Chen Yi turned to et her gaze, smiling as he asked, "What is Mr. Ning thinking about?"
This ti Ning Xue didn’t look away, she smiled and shook her head, "I’m just thinking how fast ti flies."
In just over a decade, she ca to Taizhou Mountain Battlefield, while Chen Yi reached the position of old ancestor of the Human Race.
Chen Yi chuckled, "Is Senior Sister thinking that because I’m now the old ancestor of the Human Race, that makes sowhat different from before?"
"Isn’t it?"
"Yes, and no."
"Indeed, my cultivation has grown, my disposition changed slightly from what it was before, but I am still the sa person, still Ning Xue’s student and Junior Brother."
Hearing Chen Yi’s words, Ning Xue’s heart felt like a warm current coursed through it.
Despite her happiness, she couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed that her thoughts were being seen through.
"Junior Brother is now a man who stands tall and firm."
