"Then let me go first, and we can talk things out and say goodbye calmly, wouldn't that be better?" Song Xiwei said earnestly.
If she could, she would never want to argue with Aoqian.
Arguing is too harmful to the body. Every time Song Xiwei argues with Aoqian, she feels that if she were not a cultivator, she would probably die young from anger.
"I almost caught Haoran just now." Aoqian's eyes were even redder, filled with grievance.
"When I received your message, I thought you were asking about the progress of capturing Haoran. I didn't expect it to be you leaving me. I was distracted for a moment and let Haoran escape..."
Aoqian's voice trembled slightly, "I came back empty-handed, and I felt really useless."
"Let him go, don't worry too much. The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it. As long as he's still alive, we'll run into him someday," Song Xiwei reassured him.
Aoqian shook his head, "It's not just that I didn't handle this matter well; I'm also powerless to help with other things. There's a reason why I can't compare to your sect."
Song Xiwei could tell that Aoqian was in a very low mood, and he was even constantly belittling himself.
This was completely different from the confident and proud Aoqian she knew.
“Why do you think like that? Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. No one is omnipotent…” She tried to comfort Aoqian, but it only made him more agitated. “Don’t make excuses for me. If you can’t do it, you can’t do it. The saddest thing is not to admit that you can’t do it.”
Song Xiwei didn't know what to say.
With the time she was supposed to talk to Xiao Zhuang drawing ever closer, she no longer had time to comfort Aoqian.
"Young Master, we part today, and I don't know when we'll meet again, but I believe you will get better and better. Don't get stuck on one thing..."
"Ha! Just because you're not here, does that mean I have to become depressed, aimless, and live a miserable life? Or even get stuck in a rut because of your departure? Aren't you being too arrogant? Who do you think you are? Do you have that much influence on me?"
In his anger, Aoqian began to speak recklessly.
He didn't want to see Song Xiwei so impeccably aloof.
It was so hard to get along so well with Song Xiwei, and it was so hard to have this peaceful situation these days.
And yet, things were inexplicably disrupted like this.
The urgent summons that Song Xiwei received from her sect was most likely the work of that master.
And Haoran's whereabouts, which have been unknown for so long, have suddenly become a clue today.
Isn't their plan a feint to the east while attacking the west?
Even so, even if he rushed back despite everything, could he stop Song Xiwei from leaving?
Song Xiwei was determined to leave, a hundred times more so than before.
He understood Song Xiwei; for her own spiritual power, she wasn't so stubborn as to insist on going back.
But if something happens to her sect, she will definitely rush back!
That master rarely makes a move, yet he is a master at manipulating people's hearts.
Aoqian was no match for that master, whether in strength or cunning.
He could only watch helplessly as Song Xiwei was about to leave him, driving him to the brink of madness and collapse.
Song Xiwei looked at Aoqian, tears welling up in her eyes at any moment.
He seemed extremely heartbroken.
He was the one who angered himself with his careless words, yet in his sorrow, he also felt as if the whole world had abandoned him.
Song Xiwei felt extremely conflicted. It seemed he was about to leave. Normally, she would have been enraged by Aoqian's temper and they would have ended up arguing.
But at this moment, she didn't want to do that at all.
Suppressing her complex emotions, she reached out and pinched Aoqian's cheek.
The feel was as good as ever, and her voice was extremely gentle, "I know you're just saying that out of anger, you just don't want me to leave..."
"If you're going to leave, then leave now!" Aoqian turned his head to the side, saying this, but his hand held Song Xiwei tightly.
Song Xiwei looked at him, both amused and exasperated. "Alright, alright, I'll leave right away, but, Young Master, could you please let me go first?"
