Chapter 112 Su Youwei’s Destiny (2/2)

Su Youwei blushed a little, but when she heard the words ‘best friend’, her limpid eyes faintly dimmed for an instant.

“But your highness… this goodbye may last several years.” Su Youwei bit into her red lips as her eyes reddened.

She had already grown accustomed to staying by Zhou Yuan’s side; feeling his presence, listening to his voice. In her opinion, no matter how amazing her future would be, it would never be as unforgettable as everything she had experienced during the past year she had spent in the Great Zhou Institute.

If they parted, even she did not know when they would meet again.

This thought made even the usually tough Su Youwei feel somewhat sad.

Zhou Yuan smiled as he reached out a hand and gently wiped away the glistening drops that had appeared on the young lady’s long lashes. “Don’t worry. Believe me, we will definitely meet again.”

He paused for a moment before chuckling. “I’m only worried that you’ll become too outstanding when that time eventually comes, and feel that knowing a prince from a small remote place will instead be humiliating.”

Su Youwei’s tears turned into a smile as she softly said, “Your highness, in my eyes, even the most wonderful of places cannot compare to the Great Zhou Institute, even the most amazing geniuses will never match up to you.”

The gray robed old man rolled his eyes upon hearing this as he remarked, “Lass, you’ve seen far too little. This kid is nowhere as good as you’ve described.”

However, Su Youwei paid no attention to him.

“Your highness, will you come searching for me in future?” Su Youwei stared at Zhou Yuan, her teary eyes filled with anticipation.

“I will, I definitely will.” Zhou Yuan earnestly replied. Su Youwei likewise held a very important place in his heart. If there was a chance, he would absolutely pay a visit to her and see how she was doing.

Su Youwei displayed a slight smile, her smiling face akin to elegance with a dab of bright beauty. She hesitated for a moment, before suddenly finding the courage to take a step forward, trembling hands reaching out and hugging Zhou Yuan.

The sudden warm and fragrant softness that entered his embrace dazed Zhou Yuan for some time. He could feel the sadness within Su Youwei’s heart at their departure, and thus also reached out and gently patted her back, comforting her.

Su Youwei very quickly fled Zhou Yuan’s arms, her small face beet-red as she hid herself in the room.

The sudden absence of softness made Zhou Yuan feel both a little disappointed and frustrated. The sadness of their parting had likewise filled his heart. Just like how Su Youwei had become accustomed to following at his side, he too had grown used to this strong and pretty young lady that was always beside him.

Cough!

The gray robed old man coughed, seemingly in a bad mood as he shot a look at Zhou Yuan before sighing. “Kid, at the end of the day, I still have to thank you for persuading the little lass.”

Although he really did not want to admit it, the gray robed elder knew that if Zhou Yuan had not given his approval, the stubborn little lass would really not leave with him.

Zhou Yuan smiled, cupped his fists together at the gray robed old man and said, “I hope that elder will take good care of her in future.”

“This you don’t have to worry. Not just anyone is allowed to follow me because I’m very fussy when it comes to selecting someone. Since I’ve made my choice, I will naturally give my all.” The gray robed elder glanced at Zhou Yuan before continuing, “Are you disappointed that I am not bringing you along?”

Zhou Yuan mere chuckled. “Elder has already said that each person has their own destinies. Even if I do not follow you, I may not end up as an ordinary individual in future.”

This was not arrogance. He was cultivating the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, and even practicing the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method. Although he did not know where this gray robed elder came from, he believed that as long as he mastered what he had, he would naturally stand tall even in this world.

“Oh, you do have a little backbone.”

The gray robed old man laughed, now a little in admiration of Zhou Yuan. The former pondered for a moment before he said, “I dislike owing you a favor. Since you helped me, I will help you this once.”

“I may not have anything to teach you, but I can still give you a little pointer…”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan’s eyes focused as he solemnly replied, “Then this young one will respectfully listen.”
