Chapter 1473: Enjoying The Sunset Together (1/2)

The atmosphere was serene as Li Qiye and Tantai Ruonan sat by the window to watch the sunset.

“Young Master, is there no chance for a turnaround at Heaven Spirit?” A long period pa.s.sed before Ruonan softly broke the silence.

“Yes.” Li Qiye chucked: “If not, I wouldn’t have negotiated with the Seven Martial Pavilion. When that day comes, you might have to take the reins.”

“If that is my fate, I am willing to face it.” She spoke very gently, but her words carried a resounding determination no lesser than a man.

He patted her head and softly said: “But you know, your father asked me to cut off your bloodline since he didn’t want to see you on this path. He wished for you to soar farther, even out of the nine worlds to see new sceneries!”

She answered: “I know, I can only say that I’ll be letting his love down. After all of that, I’ll still be staying at Heaven Spirit in the end.”

After a quick rumination, Li Qiye stated: “You must be mentally prepared. This path will not be easy, even I don’t dare to predict the outcome. When it comes, the chance of your death is very high.”

“If you are the one planning everything, I will put my trust in you.” She smiled: “Who are you? Someone who has hunted emperors and G.o.ds and even ma.s.sacred them above the nine heavens. The fate of Heaven Spirit is surely within your grasp.”

“You are too confident in me.” He couldn’t help but smile and gently shook his head.

Shortly after, he turned austere: “Ruonan, I’m not certain in this matter. This is Heaven Spirit, not above the nine heavens. There are too many limitations in this world while lacking the same circ.u.mstances from the upper world. If the nine worlds were blessed with these conditions, I would flatten everything in Heaven Spirit as long as you say the word. Alas, this is not the case.” He gently sighed at this point.

“Right. Ultimately, there are too many limitations here.” She understood and nodded.

“All along, the Immortal Emperors in this world have worked very hard. One can’t say that they haven’t amounted to anything. However, success is impossible for just one emperor. Moreover, even if one of them could do it, it would break the balance. Who knows what would happen then? Thus, these emperors in the past could only try to maintain this balance.”

“After the changes this time, I’m afraid the balance won’t last much longer.”

“It’s coming.” Li Qiye pondered for a moment before replying: “But I can’t wait until that day, so I can’t lend you a hand then.”

“Young Master, you have your own pursuit while I have my mission.” Ruonan revealed a carefree smile: “For millions of years, you have never stopped for anyone. I don’t wish to be the shackles that force you to stop since you will cease to be the young master that always courageously treads forward in my heart!”

This was a beautiful and charming smile. Every spectator would be intoxicated by this sight.

“If you didn’t have this inhibition, I would definitely take you with me.” Li Qiye couldn’t help but sigh with a feeling of disappointment.

Despite wanting her to stay by his side, he wouldn’t force her to do so just like how she wouldn’t ask him to stay and give up many million years of persistence.

She held his hand and declared: “If I didn’t have this hangup, I would also want to go with you to the end of the world!”

He smiled back while holding her hand.

“Okay, Young Master, let’s not talk about these sentimental things.” After a long time, she began: “Why not visit my True Martial Island? You haven’t been there since last time.”

“Sounds good.” He agreed: “I’ve played enough here at the Divine Tree Ridge. There’s only one more thing to do, but there’s no rush. I’ll visit your island then. You guys should go first, I’ll go shortly after.”

Ruonan calmly left. She brought her disciples and All-Martial out of the citadel.
