926 Life is A Cultivation (2/2)

The sky crapping city was unparalleled and magnificent.

They used to loaded with emotions whenever they saw magnificent cities. Now they were very calm because they had lived here for a long while.

Ning Que was still a bit excited because he had finally brought Haotian home.

”I didn't say I want to go into Chang'an.” Sangsang's words were like dumping freezing water on him. He felt cold from inside out.

He said after a while, ”There's indeed no reason for you to go to Chang'an.”

Throughout the human world, the only thing that could pose some threat to Haotian was the God-Stunning Array in Chang'an. Even though it was a disabled God-Stunning Array, she was still on the edge.

They came to the Farewell Pavilion by the road and looked at the magnificent city from some distance. He asked after a long while, ”If this is not the end of our journey, then where should we go?”

Sangsang replied, ”If this is the end of your journey, you can leave now.”

Ning Que did not say anything. He did not realize until they came to the City of Chang'an, that the battle between Haotian and humans was far from ending. Their journey should continue.

He could have threatened her by trying to kill himself and forced her to get into Chang'an. However, he did not want to because that would make no sense and could not be claimed as a victory.

The day when Sangsang would enter the City of Chang'an voluntarily would be his day of victory.

The Farewell Pavilion was located a few miles away from the city.

Ning Que looked at miles away, as if he could see the city wall made of black bricks. Then he saw the gate of the city slowly opened. A scholar-looking man walked out of the city holding a young boy in his hand.

This man was still wearing a cotton-padded gown in the spring. It must be his Eldest Brother.

The Academy guarded the Tang Empire. Therefore ,the young boy in his hand was definitely the young emperor of Tang Empire.

The young emperor was handsome and dignified, but he looked a bit confused at the moment.

”Master, why do we need to get out of the imperial palace today?”

The Eldest brother answered, ”Because I want you to meet two people.”

The young emperor looked afar but could not find anyone. He knew that ever since ten days ago, the City of Chang'an had been more intensely guarded. Ever since last night, they even closed the gates and did not allow anyone to enter or exit.

”Master, who are we meeting with? Does that have anything to do with the tension in the imperial palace? Are they our enemies? Are they from Taoism or is that the national master of the Golden Tribe?”

The Eldest Brother answered with a smile, ”They are two interesting people. The woman is learning how to become a human being, or not to become one. Meanwhile the man is on a more difficult assignment. His task is to make her fall in love with human beings and teach her to be a one.”

Recalling those rumors he heard in the imperial palace, the young emperor seemed to understand and became anxious. He instinctively held his Master tighter and asked, ”Is the Youngest Uncle back?”

The Eldest Brother answered, ”Yes. Your Youngest Uncle is back. Your father and mother had entrusted the City of Chang'an and the Tang Empire to him. He never lets anyone down. He even left behind his own life and those he treasured, only to strive harder for fulfilling his task.”

The young emperor pulled his hand from his master's hand and made a serious salute to afar.

The Eldest Brother looked to the Farewell Pavilion and thought, Youngest Brother, I brought His Majesty here for you. Chang'an is safe as usual. There's nothing to be worried about. You just need to try your best but never push it too hard or forget your original aspiration.

He held the young emperor in his hand and walked back into the city.

The gate was not closed. Dozens of strong men wearing black clothes pulled out a black carriage from the city. They had to use extremely strong ropes and pulled really hard to get it out.

It took them a long while to get the black carriage to the Farewell Pavilion.

The Fourth Master Qi led his dozens of clansmen from the Fish-Dragon Gang to the pavilion and kowtowed to Sangsang. Then he smiled at Ning Que and headed back to Chang'an.

The Grand Secretary, Zeng Jing, and his wife had also come with the crowd.

Zeng Jing's wife came to the Farewell Pavilion. She felt complicated while looking at Sangsang and wondered how her daughter had become such a lofty woman.

Ning Que said to Sangsang, ”You have to pay back the worldly bonds.”

Sangsang turned to Zeng Jing's wife and said emotionlessly, ”I grant you immortality.”

Ning Que was speechless. He mocked silently, What do you think immortality is? A cabbage?

Zeng Jing's wife did not get her words clearly but felt heartbroken upon hearing the familiar voice. She took some steps forward and sensed her familiar smell.

She got hold of Sangsang's sleeves and held her tight in her arms. She cried with trembling voice, ”My child, what had happened to you?”

Sangsang frown and felt annoyed.

Ning Que looked at her and thought, If you have come to the human world for a cultivation, then being hugged in the Farewell Pavilion and seeing her crying was an inevitable part of your journey.

Sangsang knew what he was thinking about, not by guessing or reasoning, she just knew. She heard his silent voice then calmed down.

She let herself be held by Zeng Jing's wife and her warm tears fell on her flowery green dress. However, she still looked indifferent. No one knew if she even felt anything.
