Listening to Yan Shi’s account, Ah Dai’s body trembled more and more violently. A misunderstanding—everything was rely a misunderstanding. Yue Yue loved him, but what about himself? He had let her profound love down. Ah Dai froze completely, stunned and bewildered. At this mont, he had no idea how he should face it all. The woman he loved also loved him—what a blissful thing it should have been! Yet, due to his own insecurities and cowardice, he not only hurt himself but also deeply wounded Yue Yue.
"When Yue Yue left the Elf Forest with the church and others, she said that if you didn’t go to find her within a year, she would imdiately marry soone else and never see you again. Ah Dai, opportunities are sothing you must seize on your own. Do you really want happiness to slip away and be consud by lifelong sorrow? Go, go find Yue Yue. As long as you sincerely apologize to her, I believe Yue Yue will forgive you."
Ah Dai trembled all over as he looked at Yan Shi. Despite his profound cultivation, he was unable to muster even the strength to speak at this mont. The imnse blow relentlessly engulfed his soul. He cried—he cried out in anguish. With a "wow," Ah Dai spat out blood from his heart and roared, "Yue Yue, I have wronged you!" His body rose like a phantom, and with a thunderous crash, he smashed through the wall of the inn, creating a large hole, disappearing in an instant. The kind of agonizing tornt that words could not describe made him feel as though he had returned to the mont he left the Elf Forest. He hated—he hated deeply. He didn’t hate Ba Bu Yi; he hated himself. Why was his will so fragile? Why couldn’t he trust Yue Yue?
The sudden turn of events left Xi Wen and the others stunned. Though they knew Ah Dai would have an intense reaction, they hadn’t anticipated it would be so extre. Yan Li was just about to chase after him but was stopped by Xi Wen. "Forget it, let him calm down on his own. Sigh, Ah Dai is excellent in every way—except he’s too stubborn. I think he’ll figure it out."
Yan Shi said anxiously, "Teacher, I’m worried Ah Dai will do sothing foolish!"
Xi Wen shook his head and said, "When he left the Elf Forest, he might have acted recklessly, but not now. Having learned that the woman he loves also loves him, he wouldn’t have the heart to die. Don’t worry. If my judgnt is correct, Ah Dai will definitely arrive at the church to see Yue Yue before the year is up. With his current abilities, even if he wanted to die, it wouldn’t be easy."
Zhuo Yun gazed in the direction where Ah Dai had disappeared and asked, "Are we just going to let him wallow in pain like this? What should we do now?"
Liao Wen said, "The knot in his heart is one only he can untie. Without understanding it himself, nobody can help him. Let’s return to Tian Gang Mountain. There’s still more than a month left until the one-year deadline Xuan Yue ntioned. At that ti, we’ll head to the Divine Mountain of the church—we’ll certainly et him there."
Xi Wen nodded and said, "Alright, everyone pack up and get ready to depart."
Ah Dai sprinted in agony, mories of his ti with Xuan Yue surging ceaselessly in his mind.
"It’s much better now, though there’s still so pain. What was it that hurt last night?"
"It was the iron-green bamboo viper, a venomous snake. It bit your shoulder. Fortunately, we discovered it in ti, so the venom didn’t spread to your heart. Don’t worry, I killed the snake, sucked out the venom, and applied antidote dicine—you’ll be fine."
"S-sucked it out? You—you... "
"I-I was just sucking out the venom, nothing else. Don’t misunderstand."
"Ah Dai, do you think I—I’m...asking you whether you like is too forward?"
"No, no, it’s all my fault. Yue Yue, it’s all my fault—I’ve let down your feelings."
"Then what are you going to do now? You’ve already seen my body—you’d better take responsibility."
"Yue Yue, actually, actually I do like you. Back when we were in the Elf Forest, I already liked you. It’s just—it’s just that I’m not worthy! I’m not worthy of being with you. With your qualities, you can find a husband a thousand or ten thousand tis better than . Last night, I really didn’t do anything. If you feel I’ve violated your body, I—I’m willing to gouge out my own eyes."
Xuan Yue said gently, "Ah Dai, are you saying you’ve always liked , right? I know what you’re afraid of. You’ve always felt that your status makes you unworthy of , haven’t you? And you’re also afraid that my father won’t agree to us being together. For now, you don’t need to think about those things. What I want is for you to clearly tell —do you like ? Do you love ?"
"Yue Yue, I like you. I truly like you—I love you! But can I really ignore everything you just ntioned? I can’t do it!"
"Ah Dai, you truly don’t need to worry about those things. I understand all your concerns—you don’t have to evade them. I’ll handle everything myself. Your status is not lowly. You are the successor of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang, and your abilities are entirely worthy of . What I cherish is you as a person—not your status, martial arts, or appearance. As for my father, I will handle him. My feelings are mine to decide. As long as you love , that is enough. No one can stop us from being together."
