Before Song Xiwei could speak, Venerable Penglai had already stepped aside.
Under the watchful gaze of those in the gap, Song Xi nodded slightly and distantly, "Mm."
It was clear that they had no intention of continuing the conversation.
He glanced at her from head to toe during the break, and seeing that she looked alright, his expression relaxed slightly. He said, "I should go now. Take care of yourself."
Kongji did not make things difficult for them, nor did he say anything else.
Song Xiwei replied indifferently, "Hmm."
After the gap was cleared, Venerable Penglai approached, "Aren't you going to ask me what happened to your grandmaster...?"
"If I ask, will you answer?" Song Xi looked at Venerable Penglai.
Venerable Penglai sighed softly, "This is a long story, perhaps we'll have to wait for another opportunity..."
“Venerable One, I have no connection with the Void Gate anymore, and I don’t really care about these things. It’s fine if you don’t tell me.” Although he didn’t know what the Void Gate and Venerable Penglai were hiding from him, some things were certain.
For example, the feelings Kongxi had for him, the harm Kongxi had caused to so many demons, Kongxi's actions against Wanwan, and his genuine intention to kill Aoqian.
Both of these points have been confirmed.
As for whether Kongxi and Venerable Penglai are on good terms or at odds, that's their business and has nothing to do with me.
"You're a child who clearly distinguishes between likes and dislikes. Well then, I won't say any more about these matters," Venerable Penglai sighed softly.
With Aoqian on her mind, Song Xiwei didn't linger any longer and went straight to the point: "I've come to say goodbye."
"Where will you go after you leave? Will you return to Chidu with that child, Aoqian?" Venerable Penglai frowned as he looked at her.
Song Xiwei was somewhat puzzled by the expression of the Venerable Penglai.
It seems that Venerable Penglai is very reluctant to let him and Ao sneak back to Chidu.
But before, Venerable Penglai clearly made her feel that he was also on Aoqian's side.
“Yes. Even without these recent troubles, I would fight alongside him. Chidu is currently leaderless, and it’s time for him to go back and take charge,” Song Xiwei said.
Venerable Penglai, however, looked serious. “You shouldn’t be in such a hurry. This matter is not urgent. Let’s stay in Penglai for now.”
Song Xiwei was genuinely puzzled by the Venerable Penglai's reaction. "Venerable One, why?"
"Consider it a favor to me, and stay in Penglai for now," Venerable Penglai said with a stern face.
Song Xiwei thought her departure would go smoothly, but she never expected that Venerable Penglai would try to persuade her to stay in this way.
"Venerable One, many disciples of Penglai say that you want me to become the new master of Penglai. Is that true?" Song Xiwei was unsure of what the Venerable One of Penglai intended to do.
But she will absolutely not stay in Penglai to become the new master of Penglai.
“I did not discuss this matter with you beforehand, but I did have this intention,” Venerable Penglai admitted.
Song Xi frowned slightly. "Why did you suddenly make this decision?"
Venerable Penglai knew perfectly well that he was to meet with Aoqian.
Why make such an arrangement?
"For your sake, and for that child's future," Venerable Penglai sighed.
His face looked very heavy, as if he was also helpless.
"For me? And for his own future? Isn't now the best time for him to return to Chidu?" Song Xiwei was completely confused.
"The true secret hidden within Chidu was originally covered up temporarily by a gap that could confuse the public. But if Aoqian's true form returns and he can command a hundred responses, things may change. Your return to Chidu with him means that you will completely incur the wrath of the Six Realms, and things will be even more serious than before."
The Venerable Penglai's expression was no longer merely gloomy on the surface.
