Chapter 1399, the final chapter.

When Song Chunxue saw Xie Zheng's sister, she understood the unspoken words in her eyes with just a glance.

So, without struggling or hesitating, she immediately turned and left.

Now that she has the ability to become invisible, she didn't leave a trace; she simply disappeared on the spot.

She knows that others might overthink things or find it awkward, but she doesn't care about that anymore.

At first, she just thought that since they had known each other before and were still alive, there was nothing wrong with attending each other's granddaughter's wedding banquet.

But Xie Zheng's sister's gaze made her realize that she was overthinking things.

Even without her sister saying a word, Song Chunxue could already guess that after so many years, when they met again, her sister would inevitably exchange pleasantries, scold her, and then persuade her to give Xie Zheng a chance.

Therefore, it's unnecessary.

None of this is necessary.

Knowing it would be trouble, she would avoid it if possible. After all, she wasn't even afraid of death, so why would she be afraid of offending people?

As expected, Qi Yun followed them out after they left the Zhao residence.

She stood under the willow tree at the end of the street, turned to look at Qi Yun, and asked, "Are you still coming with me?"

"Yes," Qi Yun felt a guilty sense of being seen through when he met his master's gaze. "Wherever Master goes, I will go."

"Alright, come with me to find my dream lover."

Qi Yun asked curiously, "Why are you looking for him?"

"Selling a dream."

"ah???"

...

At 9 PM, Song Chunxue had no intention of meditating, much less of sleeping.

I can't sleep.

Her resolve was unstable.

She had a question nagging at her, and it was driving her crazy.

Especially after drinking two jugs of wine, one thing kept popping into my head.

She suddenly sprang out of bed, picked up the Overlord Sword, and went to practice her swordsmanship in the bamboo forest.

An uncontrollable surge of primal anger erupted forth, and it was unclear what could be used to extinguish or suppress it.

"Swish, swish... swish, swish..."

Swords flashed and danced in the forest, as Song Chunxue, wielding the Overlord Sword, engaged Wuyou in battle.

[You heartless woman! I ran away from home, and you didn't even bother to look for me!]

Worry-free was furious, and his moves became increasingly aggressive and rapid.

To be honest, it's better for the sword to control itself than for a person to wield it.

Just like how the truths others give you are not as profound as the truths you learn by hitting your head and bleeding yourself.

What you learn yourself is truly yours. Others simply copy what they've learned, no matter how eloquently they put it. It's just their experience.

Therefore, if you can't figure it out yourself, no amount of advice from outsiders will help.

Song Chunxue suddenly stopped and stopped responding.

The Worry-Free Sword was aimed directly at her throat, but she quickly dodged it.

[Hmph, why aren't you moving?] Wuyou huffed and puffed as she floated two meters away from her.

"I'm upset and a bit confused." She sat down against the bamboo pole, feeling no fear despite the shadows in the dark night.

It was rare for Song Chunxue to take the initiative to confide in Wuyou, "I went to find Mengzhongjun, and I didn't betray any of my dreams, not even nightmares."

"so……"

A slight noise reached her ears, and Song Chunxue's ears twitched. "Is he here?"

"Um."

"You and Ba Wang need to leave for a moment, I have something to say to him."

"We're not human, why are we avoiding this?"

Song Chunxue said expressionlessly, "Then let him go."

"..."

As expected, Wuyou gave in and took Bawang out for some fresh air.

With no one eavesdropping, Song Chunxue felt much more relieved.

"You can't sleep either? Come out, let's sit down and talk." Song Chunxue took out a pot of wine and used some dry branches to start a fire.

Xie Zheng walked slowly over, wearing a dark blue casual suit, without a hat, and his white hair was tied up high.

Although it wasn't very noticeable in the darkness, it was still impossible to ignore.

Song Chunxue took a deep breath; she would test the waters this one last time.

Perhaps women are just that fickle and hypocritical.

She admitted it.

"Why did you come to find me?" She pointed to the stone next to her. "Sit here."

Xie Zheng hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down.

The spring shirt was neither thin nor thick; arm to arm, hem squeezed together, the darkness encompassing all fear.

She leaned closer, "How much of it did you remember?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his warm breath sprayed onto his left cheek.

Xie Zheng lowered his eyes and remained motionless. "Not many."

"Is that so?" She reached out and grasped his palm. "Then how does Lord Xie, who has developed feelings for me, view me now? You've approached me several times to test me. Do you want me to respond, or do you want to continue this chase and pretend to be clueless for the rest of your life?"
