"Um, you... I've made some food. Would you like to eat with me?"
At that moment, the woman's voice came over.
Su Bai gathered his thoughts, looked up at her, his gaze calm and indifferent.
"My name is Su Bai."
"Su, Su Bai..."
The woman murmured to herself, a faint smile appearing on her face.
This was the first time in her hundreds of years in this place that she had heard a name other than her brother's.
"Greetings, Young Master Su Bai. My name is... Chu Yaoyao."
The woman smoothed her disheveled long hair at her temples and looked at Su Bai with a sincere expression.
“Chu Yaoyao…”
Su Bai frowned slightly. "Chu Xiaoyun, is he your older brother?"
"Um?"
"Young Master Su Bai knows my brother. Do you know where he is now?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yaoyao excitedly ran to Su Bai, blinking her eyes and looking at him expectantly.
But after a moment, as if realizing that her behavior was inappropriate, her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head somewhat helplessly, her small hands unconsciously rubbing her robes.
“I met him once, but I don’t know where he is now.”
After meeting Chu Xiaoyun once at Bodhi Shore, one of the nine major Daoist temples of the Free Human Race, Su Bai never saw him again.
Even when Su Bai was refining the dojo later, he didn't notice the other party's presence.
However... he discovered that three Bodhi fruits on the Bodhi tree on the other side of Bodhi had been picked by someone.
"When Su Bai saw him again, was he... was he alright?" Chu Yaoyao asked, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Su Bai nodded.
"Thank you, Young Master Su Bai."
Upon seeing this, Chu Yaoyao's disappointment vanished, replaced by a relieved smile.
Su Bai looked at her and understood that the cause and effect upon which the Law of Hope was based... was Chu Xiaoyun, whom he had met on the other side of Bodhi.
It can be said that the system, the Law of Hope, and even his own karma all played a huge role in his survival this time.
"It seems... my understanding is correct."
"The true path to immortality is not to sever all karmic ties... but rather, to rely on these karmic ties to refine oneself... and ultimately, to transform oneself and become an immortal."
"Therefore... all those I know must not forget, must never forget. Those things that need to be done must be done. This... is not only a test of one's own mind, but also... a prerequisite for becoming an immortal."
After that battle, Su Bai lost all his cultivation, physical strength, and spirit, and became just an ordinary person.
But... in his final moments, on the verge of death, he comprehended his own path to immortality!
And that's why he smiled and told everyone that he would remember them!
However... when he comprehended the path to immortality, his ultimate invincible heart, forged through countless torments, also... was completely shattered.
Now, he no longer has an invincible mind. Like an ordinary cultivator, he has the seven emotions and six desires, and possesses... the perceptions that an ordinary person should have.
But most importantly... he rediscovered himself, rediscovered... the real Su Bai.
"Um... Su, Young Master Su Bai, why are you looking at me like that...?"
Hearing Chu Yaoyao's voice, Su Bai came back to his senses and saw that Chu Yaoyao, whose cheeks had been slightly flushed before, had turned bright red.
The head, which was already lowered, was buried even deeper into the neck at this moment.
"fine."
"Let's eat."
