There must be a reason why Han Qing didn't reply.
After ruling out the possibility that Han Qing was unable to reply, Su Jin felt there was only one possibility: Han Qing was plotting something, perhaps related to Shen Qianxue.
Long-distance communication is highly likely to lead to information leakage.
Thinking of this, Su Jin felt relieved.
Days went by, one after another.
Soon after, Su Jin received news that Han Qing and Shen Qianxue had worked together from the inside and outside to completely destroy the Ji Army.
Moreover, Shen Qianxue personally killed Zhou Ji on the battlefield!
Thus, Zhou Ji was completely removed from history, and the world was unified.
On the desolate post-war city, Shen Qianxue and Han Qing looked down at the land stained with blood.
Soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, and cries of grief filled the entire land.
"There are still many dead and injured." Han Qing was filled with sorrow.
The remnants of the Ji army, knowing their crimes were unforgivable, fought to the death, resulting in a fierce battle.
It's hard to imagine how many people would have died or how long it would have lasted if they had fought the remnants of the Ji Army head-on without Shen Qianxue's mediation and cooperation.
Shen Qianxue remained silent, letting the wind howl and her clothes flutter.
Looking at the man before her, Han Qing was overwhelmed with emotion.
Han Qing knew the name Shen Qianxue like the thunder in his ears, and he would grit his teeth whenever he talked about him.
Han Qing had never met Shen Qianxue, nor did he know what kind of person Shen Qianxue was, that Su Jin could be so devoted to her, and only her.
This time, Han Qing finally met her, and Shen Qianxue was indeed worth it.
"Was what Zhou Ji said before he died true?" Han Qing's brows furrowed with worry.
Before Zhou Ji died, he tried to poison Shen Qianxue, but Shen Qianxue didn't even flinch before plunging a sharp blade into Zhou Ji's chest.
Han Qing didn't care about Shen Qianxue's life or death, but even if it was for Su Jin's sake to go to the underground to rest peacefully, he didn't want anything to happen to Shen Qianxue.
Shen Qianxue's gaze drifted slightly into the distance, looking towards the south.
"The world is now at peace, and my life or death is no longer important. Phoenix Pavilion will depart tomorrow. I will leave the remaining matters to General Han. Most of the soldiers in the Ji Army are just lowly soldiers who follow orders, so please take good care of them."
"Of course, I believe General Han will live up to your expectations, after all, she trusts you so much."
There's no need to elaborate on who this "she" is; Han Qing already knows.
They all seemed unwilling to mention the name, only daring to keep it carefully in their hearts.
Han Qing let out a long, painful sigh. He had a feeling that Shen Qianxue had given up hope and was going to follow Su Jin down to the afterlife...
Han Qing licked his lips and advised, "Aren't you coming to the capital with me? You've made a great contribution this time, and it's the best opportunity for Phoenix Pavilion to rise to the next level."
Shen Qianxue smiled faintly, "My Phoenix Pavilion is just a mere martial arts sect. We will not get involved in the ever-changing political landscape of the imperial court."
Han Qing gave a bitter smile. A mere martial arts sect had stirred up the world and even influenced the imperial throne.
"Phoenix Lord is too modest. In that case, I will not say anything more. Farewell, Phoenix Lord. I hope we will meet again."
Han Qing sincerely wishes them well.
Although Han Qing knew that Shen Qianxue was controlled by Zhou Ji and poisoned, he still hoped that Shen Qianxue could find a way to survive.
Shen Qianxue withdrew her gaze, her demeanor cool and aloof, and slowly walked down the city wall.
Looking at that tall and straight back, Han Qing felt a sense of admiration for the man.
If it were Han Qing himself who had been poisoned, he would probably have been disheartened and unable to remain so calm and composed.
Su Jin was hidden deep in the mountains, but she was very well-informed.
She knew that Zhou Chen had purged the court and secured his throne.
She knew that Han Qing had dealt with the aftermath of the war and returned to the capital.
She also knew that Shen Qianxue had returned.
But he didn't come to see her...
It feels like my heart is being gripped by a large hand, which squeezes it every now and then, making me feel uncomfortable. Sometimes, if the squeeze is too hard, it stings.
Fortunately, Chen Xi often came.
Although Su Hu forbade Shen Xi from going up the mountain, Mai Zizi could run down the mountain to talk to Shen Xi, and Su Jin was able to get some information about Shen Qianxue as a result.
For example, he had a good appetite and ate two bowls of rice one day.
For example, he sleeps well now and no longer suffers from sleepless nights like before.
For example, he no longer stared blankly at Tingyu Tower, but would occasionally go inside to look at the precious flowers and plants in his spare time.
For example, he no longer avoids lanterns and allows everyone to celebrate festivals in a lively and festive manner.
For example, he went to see Yang Jiaoruo and told her what happened afterward. Yang Jiaoruo was released, but she also left Phoenix Pavilion, and from then on she had no connection with Phoenix Pavilion.
Shen Qianxue, he really let go of everything and became the same aloof, distant yet warm person he used to be.
Before we knew it, the weather had turned cool, and the night wind carried a chill.
Su Jin sat down on the grass, gazing at the dazzling night sky, but if you look closely, her eyes were unfocused, her mind already wandering overseas.
Suddenly, a heavy cloak fell onto her shoulders.
Su Jin looked up and saw it was Su Hu.
Su Hu came every day, so Su Jin wasn't surprised. She withdrew her gaze and continued to stare at the starry sky, lost in thought.
Su Hu sat down, his eyes filled with deep sorrow.
Ever since Shen Qianxue said those heartless words that day, he has never seen Su Jinxia smile happily, nor has he ever heard her make a joyful noise.
She became quiet and melancholy.
"Forget him, okay?" Su Hu's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of pleading.
Su Jin blinked slightly upon hearing this, then pulled her coat tighter around herself. Staring at the ground, she said softly, "Brother Tiger, I can't forget, and I don't want to forget. Recently, I've come to understand something: letting go is truly the hardest thing in the world."
