"Grand Preceptor, do you know that there are people who can bring their own domain and have a space that follows them?"

Su Luo has such a space. She once told Nangong Chiyu that she came from the future. So, if she can't wake up now, could it be that she went to another place?

"Your Highness, do not be anxious. Everything in the world has its own laws. Some things we can see, and some things we cannot see, but what is meant to come will come eventually. It's just that the time is not yet right."

"But when will Luo Luo wake up? It's been seven years. In seven years, the poison in her body should have been almost completely cleared out."

As Su Luo's apprentice, Du Xiuyuan would visit her several times a year, saying that the remaining poison in Su Luo's body had been cleared.

"It will be soon. I once guided my junior sister through enlightenment. She will naturally awaken when she comprehends it."

Su Luo frowned in the space. Every time the Imperial Advisor came, he would say something mysterious. Couldn't he just explain things clearly?

He still thinks he can get through himself? When did he get through himself? Su Luo couldn't understand.

Having lived in this space for so many years, there hasn't been a single day she hasn't wanted to leave; time seems to pass so slowly here.

"Why……"

Su Luo should just read a book.

But the words of the Imperial Preceptor kept echoing in her mind. Did the Imperial Preceptor help her?

She recalled the first time she met the Imperial Advisor, as well as the scenes of their previous meetings and the words he had spoken.

She even kept a record, summarizing roughly the day's events, but she couldn't discern anything particularly special from the words.

However, when she was in the capital, the Imperial Preceptor gave her a book and told her to read it carefully, saying that it was left to her by their master.

Su Luo was startled and stood up from the space to find the book. There were at least eight or ten thousand books in the space.

She still remembered that she had carelessly left that book in her spatial storage. The Imperial Advisor told her to read it carefully, but she was too busy at the time and simply didn't have time to read it.

She had even forgotten the name of the book.

After searching for what seemed like forever, Su Luo finally found the book, the *Mirror Image Refuge Sutra*.

"That's right, it's this one."

Su Luo happily opened the book with her mind. The contents were obscure and difficult to understand, but as she read on, she still understood some of the principles.

She was studying the book in her spatial dimension when Nangong Chiyu carried her into the carriage. Autumn had arrived, and Su Luo's favorite thing was rural life.

Every year, in different seasons, he would take Su Luo to see their estate, hoping that Su Luo would wake up soon.

Outside Changping Village, Chen Ping'an was holding a little boy's hand as he and the village chief were heading to the soy sauce factory.

This child is Chen Ping'an's fifth child.

"Huai Xu, are you taking Su Luo to the manor again?" The two men stepped forward to greet him.

"Yes! She likes to play with things in the fields, so I'll take her for a walk."

The village chief patted Nangong Chiyu on the shoulder: "With Yi Huan at the soy sauce factory, we're not worried. You take good care of Su Luo, she..."

The village chief paused for a moment: "She will get better."

"Yes! It definitely will."

After bidding farewell to the village chief and Chen Ping'an, Su Zuo helped him into the carriage and drove away.

"Ping An, Huai Xu is so young and already has a full head of white hair, it's so pitiful..."

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Chen Ping'an felt a pang of heartache.

"Good people always suffer a lot. My second aunt is now living in the family's Buddhist shrine. I hope Su Luo can wake up soon."

"Yes, Su Luo is our village's lucky star. Who in the village doesn't wish her to get better soon?"

"Let's go..."

The rice stalks bend low, and the ground is covered in golden yellow!

The estate is now under Shi Shuang's care, while Zhao Chunlan and the others have gone home to run a tofu shop.

Another villa was built on the small hill in the village, in the style that Su Luo liked the most.

There is a vegetable garden and a tea room behind the house, making it a great place for a short stay.

"Luo Luo, it's been seven years. In these seven years, the cherries have ripened, the plantains have turned green, the mountains and rivers remain unchanged, and so have I!"

Su Luo had been sitting in a wheelchair for too long, so Nangong Chiyu carried her back to the couch, pressed her hand on the blanket, and touched the jade bracelet on her wrist.

He finished carving the remaining craftsmanship on this jade bracelet. If it could truly continue the three lifetimes of love, even if Su Luo were to pass away one day, he would truly follow her in death.

Autumn is the season for wild fruits to ripen, and he wanted to pick some for Su Luo, as they were her favorites. He asked the maid to stay and take care of her.

...

Enlightenment sometimes takes a lifetime, and sometimes it only takes a moment. Su Luo thought about it for three days in the space and read the "Mirror Refuge Sutra" for three days.

She finally understood the meaning of the scripture; everything in the book was an illusion.

She only realized the true meaning of the imperial advisor at the very end.

Mirror image, refuge, is return to oneness!

"So that's how it is."

Su Luo understood. This space had long since become one with her, and if she wanted to get out, she had to break through this space.

Do you want to go out? Or do you want space?

Only by breaking this space and taking back this part can she be whole again.

If she does that, this space will disappear from now on, and she will become an ordinary person, an ordinary person without a space.

Without hesitation, Su Luo prepared the remaining explosives in her space. As soon as she had the idea of ​​abandoning the space, the barrier of the space weakened.

With the addition of explosives, it was easily destroyed.

Su Luo's soul was naturally unharmed by the explosives; in all these years, her soul had never felt so light.

Despite his white hair, Nangong Chiyu's handsome face and refined demeanor were still evident as he returned to the villa carrying a bag of wild fruit in both hands.

The villa was originally surrounded by maids and servants, but he only went out for a short while and now there's no one there anymore.

Nangong Chiyu panicked and rushed into the courtyard.

There was no sign of anyone inside; the person who had been lying on the couch had vanished.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and he was momentarily blind; he was terrified.

The last time Su Luo disappeared, he almost lost her.

He ran to every room in the villa, completely frantic.

As the sun sets, casting long shadows, a slender figure can be seen in the red glow of the sunset as I pass through the backyard.

The dim light made it difficult for him to see clearly, but Nangong Chiyu still recognized the person.

His heart pounded wildly, and the setting sun reddened his eyes, bringing tears to his eyes.

The wild fruit in Nangong Chiyu's hand fell to the ground, as if he were afraid it was just his imagination.

Until that figure turned around and smiled at him.

Everything in the world seemed to have come to an end. He strode up to Su Luo, choked with emotion, and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Nangong Chiyu, I... am back..."

The moon sets, the stars fade, the trees provide ample shade, and the rest of the time belongs to them…

The End!
