Chapter 272 The change in Canghai Mingyue, onwards to the Heavenly Palace!. (1/2)

AST 272 - The change in Canghai Mingyue, onwards to the Heavenly Palace!

“What are you laughing about?” The grand elder smiled faintly as he inquired.

“If I agreed to your conditions today and marry your granddaughter, what if similar things of this nature happens again in the future? Do you think I should agree to your conditions or not then?”

“Hahaha, affectionate and loyal. No wonder my granddaughter would fall so deep in love with you. Although if I allow you to go free today it is equivalent to letting a captured tiger roam back to its mountains, this old man has a great debt of kindness unpaid to you yet. I’m very clear regarding kindness and vengeance, I will never allow myself to own people a debt of kindness. You can freely leave.”

Qing Shui thought that his ears were mistaken, as he puzzledly glanced at the grandfather of Qinghan Ye, and especially when the old man mentioned about his grand daughter being deep in love with him…

“Grand Elder, if you allow him to leave today, he will surely return to wipe out our Immortal Sword Sect when he’s stronger!” An old man frantically implored.

“Haha he will not. The ancestor and sect leader has already passed away, and in three to five years later, our Immortal Sword Sect won’t have the capabilities to go against him. Not to mention that this whole thing started only because of the grudge between our ancestor and Canghai.”

Although the Grand Elder said this, Qing Shui didn’t dare be careless, he bowed to the Grand Elder as he replied, “In that case, we of the junior generation shall take our leave first. If there’s time in the future, this junior shall pay a visit to your esteemed sect to thank you again.”

Qing Shui summoned the fire bird and only heaved a sigh of relief after he mounted on the back of the fire bird.

“Qing Shui, Ye`er asked me to tell this to you.” The Grand Elder sighed, the volume of his voice wasn’t very loud but it still sounded extremely clear.

Qing Shui was stunned but he still replied, “Elder, please speak.”

“Ye`er says you can come and find her anytime you like. In this life, she has already decided to wait for you alone.” The Grand Elder sighed.

“Please represent me to convey my thanks for her feelings. I will remember it.” Qing Shui lightly spoke after some hesitation.

The fire bird rose up in the air and flew towards the west. Currently, Qing Shui’s heart was like a quagmire, he was extremely confused. He didn’t know why Qinghan Ye would suddenly fall in love with him. Was it because of his nine yang body? Or was it because of that time when they did the duo-cultivation in their dreams?

The Grand Elder most likely said the words he said because of the feelings his granddaughter has.

“I shall not think about it any longer. Let’s leave here first, without sufficient strength, i will not step into the Southern City again.” Qing Shui silently told himself.

Canghai Mingyue didn’t say a single word from the time she mounted the fire bird till now, the love in the eyes of her parents was still fresh in her mind, but to think that they have already left her forever.

She was extremely lonely and helpless now, she finally understood why her mother shouted those words to Qing Shui before she died. Her mother had already known that she would be locked down by these negative emotions.

“Qing Shui, you must be nice to Yueyue. From now onwards, you are her only kin in this world.”

Back then Canghai Mingyue roamed the world, feeling nothing even if she didn’t return to visit, because in her heart she knew that there was a place called home waiting for her.

But now everything is gone, she could only depend on herself from now on. There was nothing in this world for her to depend on any longer!

And regarding Qing Shui’s earlier words, he was merely following her parents’ wishes before they died. With this Canghai Mingyue ascertained that in this world, she can only depend on herself. She was one person, alone for all eternity.

At this exact moment, a feeling of loneliness emanated from Canghai Mingyue. That aura of total rejection caused Qing Shui to gaze at her in shock.

Upon seeing the desolate-looking silhouette of her, Qing Shui knew that it was already too late. Canghai Mingyue has already sealed her inner heart, it will be more difficult to ascend the heavens compared to breaking through the walls she sets up.

“Mingyue, Mingyue…!!” Qing Shui quickly interrupted her thoughts, as he didn’t want her to lose herself in her own imaginations.

“Qing Shui, i want to go to the Heavenly Palace.”

In the dark beautiful eyes of Canghai Mingyue, Qing Shui could no longer find any semblance of past emotions. The current Canghai Mingyue was even more indifferent compared to the first time he saw her.

Knowing nothing he could say would change her mind, and understanding that she became like this due to the death of her parents, that immense aura of loneliness couldn’t help but cause Qing Shui to be extremely worried.

Every few moments, Canghai Mingyue would blew a long low whistle. Qing Shui knew that she was summoning her Golden Winged Thunder Condor.

Suddenly a sharp shrill bird cry echoed out from afar, Canghai Mingyue responded by whistling, as Qing Shui controlled the fire bird to slow its speed, directing it towards the Golden Winged Thunder Condor. Actually, even without his direction, his fire bird was already flying towards the condor on it’s own volition.
