"Senior brother, are you really sure?"
"I've thought it through."
"Alright, junior sister wishes you all the best. May you and Yao'er... Miss Bai Yao be happy together from now on." Nangong Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then bowed, wanting to see her senior brother off.
Xiao Yuhan didn't think much of it at first, but she knew that if she didn't leave now, she would feel even more reluctant to leave. Just as she turned around to leave, she suddenly felt someone hug her from behind.
"Senior brother, I don't mean anything by it, it's just... you must live well. Also, don't look back at me. I don't want you to see this side of me. Just keep moving forward. If you miss home in the future, come back to the Heavenly Sword Sect."
After saying that, Nangong Ling'er let go of his hand. Xiao Yuhan did not turn around, but simply hummed in agreement, and then transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky.
Nangong Ling'er watched the departing figure and sighed heavily. At this moment, Shen Huairu slowly walked out and said, "Alright, silly girl, stop looking and let's go."
"Senior sister, what are you still doing here?"
"I've already said goodbye, so how can you say goodbye properly if I don't leave?"
"Yes...we've already said goodbye properly."
"You really have nothing else to say to him?" Shen Huairu asked with a slight smile.
Nangong Ling'er snorted lightly, "Hmph! What else can I say? Do you think I would like him? Let's go, Senior Sister! There are so many things to do at the Heavenly Sword Sect, we'll be busy!"
"Hmph! Little brat, fine, I guess I'm just worrying for no reason."
...
Kitahara Palace.
Xiao Yuhan had returned on the night of the full moon. Looking at the increasingly weak Jun Tan, he felt a pang of sadness. He understood that he was able to fully control Yu Hui's power because of the golden pill Jun Tan had given him. Besides helping him recover his memories, it also meant that Jun Tan had given him most of the power.
"Should I call you Jun Tan or Yao'er now?" Xiao Yuhan sat beside Jun Tan, taking meticulous care of her.
"Call me whatever you like."
"Yao'er, I'm more familiar with her. As for Jun Tan, I liked him on the way to Beiyuan, but it was all you, wasn't it?"
"I guess so." She shook her head, her expression somber, unsure whether to be happy or sad.
"Let's go, leave everything here, and go somewhere where no one can find us."
"But didn't you just mention Jiang Yining and Ajiu when you came back..."
Does it matter?
Jun Tan looked dazed. "It's important. I want to see if A Jiu will really betray me."
"So? Do you need me to leave?"
"You should just hide. I can handle things here myself."
Xiao Yuhan nodded. "I'll just wait here and see what they can do."
Jun Tan smiled slightly, "I still don't believe she would betray me."
"Actually, regardless of whether it's betrayal or not, Ajiu's personality will definitely not allow the demon race to live in peace." Xiao Yuhan was still somewhat uneasy and tried to be ruthless before leaving, at least in his view, to eliminate future troubles forever.
But Jun Tan refused. She wanted A Jiu to live. "Whether it's good or bad, you can't kill all the evil people in this world, and you can't save all the good people either. Since neither of us is going to be saints, what does it matter to me what happens to others? What does it matter to me what happens to the world?"
Xiao Yuhan nodded. "Indeed, stories depend on people, but people's hearts never stop. Even in a world that only exists in stories, new stories will continue to emerge. Yao'er, how about... we leave now?"
"Don't you want to kill Jiang Yining?"
"Just as you said, if Yu Hui dies, there's Jiang Yining. But if Jiang Yining dies, won't there be another her?" Xiao Yuhan asked.
Jun Tan had her own ideas and didn't say much, only replying, "Let's wait a bit longer. I want to see it with my own eyes."
"Okay, I'll stay with you."
The two exchanged a smile, while Xiao Yuhan concealed his aura, ensuring that at least the aura related to Yu Hui could not be detected by anyone. Jiang Yining was an extremely intelligent person; she would not have made a move unless she was absolutely certain of victory.
What Jun Tan wanted to see was whether A Jiu would really betray her. Perhaps she still wanted to find someone she could trust to take over everything here, since there were still many loyal followers of Jun Tan among the demon race.
Standing in the quiet hall, Xiao Yuhan looked at Jun Tan, who was calm and composed, and her worries disappeared.
