467 I Want You to Come With Me (1/2)
After taking Lan Liqing to a private room that is her own room inside the Medicine Hall, Su Yang silently looked at her with a serious expression.
”What's with the serious face? Did something happen? I am always here if you need someone to talk to.” Lan Liqing said to him with a comforting smile after many minutes of silence.
A slight smile appeared on his face, and he spoke, ”Indeed, I have a few things in my mind. However, it's nothing too significant, so why don't we have some fun first?”
Lan Liqing showed a defeated smile and nodded, ”If it'll ease your mind, we can have as much as fun as you need.”
A few seconds later, Lan Liqing removed her robes and laid on the bed with her arms spread wide open, enticing him into her embrace with a charming smile on her beautiful face.
”...”
However, Su Yang did not move and only remained standing there.
”Su Yang…? Is there something wrong, after all?” Lan Liqing asked him with a worried frown.
”No, you just remind me of someone I knew.” He responded with a nostalgic expression. ”From your temperament to your gaze… you resemble someone I hold very dear.”
”...”
Lan Liqing was speechless, as she did not know how to respond to such words.
Su Yang then continued speaking, ”Although she always appeared cold and fearless on the outside, once you get to know her, she was extremely caring and gentle, just like you when I first met you.”
”But the similarities don't stop there. Not only was she my first partner at that time, you are also my first partner in this life…” Su Yang mumbled in a low voice.
Lan Liqing raised her eyebrows in a puzzled manner. Why did it sound like he was speaking of another life in the past?
”If she was reincarnated, you would be what she might be like today.”
”This woman you speak of… is she…?” Lan Liqing couldn't help but ask the obvious.
”That's right. She's no longer in this world.”
”I'm sorry for your loss…”
A few moments of silence later, Su Yang stared at Lan Liqing in the eyes and spoke with a serious expression, ”Although I have not decided yet, there's a very high chance that I will be leaving this place in two years' time.”
”W-What?!” Lan Liqing immediately stood up with a shocked face. ”T-This is too sudden! Why are you leaving now of all times? The Profound Blossom Sect needs you!”
”I know, that's why I am going to make the Profound Blossom Sect into one of the most powerful forces in the Eastern Continent before I leave in two years so that when I really leave, they will no longer need to rely on me.”
”...Do the others know of this?” she asked him, and he gently shook his head.
”Do you plan on telling them?”
”Of course, once everything is sorted out and returns to normal.”
”Then I am the only one who knows of this?”
”That's right.”
”...”
