Since entering the inner courtyard, Luan Hua's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds.
A year later, he completed the first volume of "The Vast Sword Technique".
Two years later, in the All-Heroes Tournament, he won second place, just one sword away from Mu Jinyun, who won first place.
The world was in uproar.
Three years later, he devoted himself to practicing the second volume of the "Vast Sword Technique".
At the same time, Mu Jinyun also made a new breakthrough.
A month ago, Mu Jinyun had already returned to Ruzhou to go into seclusion. Now, the Mu family has sent a letter to bring Lin Banjian back as well.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Lin Banjian took a deep breath.
Is it finally coming?
She stood up, unfolded the letter in her hand, and then folded it up again.
After packing her luggage, she hesitated for a moment and left a note for Luan Hua.
The inner courtyard is not a place anyone can enter at will. She was from the outer courtyard and could only enter and exit through a narrow passage, so she could not see Luan Hua.
The note stated that she wanted to return to Ruzhou, but the reason was not explained.
Is that alright?
She watched the paper crane flutter and fly out the window, then looked around the house she had lived in for several years before gently closing the door.
On the carriage ride home, she placed her hand on her chest, feeling the pounding of her heart.
Just as the carriage was passing through a bustling market street, two children ran by laughing and playing with pinwheels in their hands. The colorful spinning pinwheels flashed by in a corner of the curtain that was lifted by the wind.
Gradually, the noise, the hawking, the hustle and bustle all faded away with the wind.
It's as if it never existed.
She slowly closed her eyes.
"Miss, we have arrived at the Mu residence."
The old woman helped her down from the carriage, and before her stood the majestic mountain she hadn't seen for many years.
It's back again.
She walked forward step by step.
Thinking back to the last time she walked this path, she was held in Mu Jinyun's arms, filled with uncertainty and fear about the future.
But now, none of that exists.
Her steps had never been so firm.
Finally, everything is about to settle down.
Upon entering the Mu residence, none of her former companions were present; instead, a kind-looking old lady arrived.
"Granny, why isn't Sister Duanyao here?" she asked.
“Miss, Duan Yao has important matters to attend to, and her superiors have sent me to serve you.”
"What about my other maids?"
"They also have things to do."
"...I see. Then I'll leave things to you in the future, Granny!" Lin Banjian said with utmost respect.
None of her people came. Were they deliberately sent away?
She looked at the slightly hunched old woman in front of her, her eyes narrowed.
It's unclear who sent this person, but at least it wasn't Mu Jinyun who sent her, otherwise she would have said so from the beginning.
It's best not to alert them.
“Miss has come all this way, would you like to rest? Although the young master's matter is quite urgent, otherwise we wouldn't have brought you back in such a hurry, but if Miss…”
“I’m going to Jinyun right now,” she interrupted immediately.
That's hilarious.
They even pretended to ask her if she needed to rest. If they really wanted her to rest, they shouldn't have said that Jinyun needed her right now. She's not unreasonable.
“Alright, then I’ll trouble you, Miss. Please come with me.” The old woman didn’t mince words.
Soon, she arrived deep within the Mu residence. Judging from the surrounding scenery, it seemed to be a place for secluded cultivation.
The guards carefully verified her identity before letting her in.
The guards are so tight; it seems that Jinyun's seclusion this time is really important.
"Miss, the young master is inside. He will tell you what to do once you go in."
"Okay, thank you, Granny."
Under intense scrutiny, she entered her secluded retreat.
Sure enough, not long after she walked, a familiar figure appeared before her.
Mu Jinyun, dressed in white, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
He sensed her approach and opened his eyes.
"Half-sighted, you've arrived." He stood up.
"Okay." She walked over.
Mu Jinyun patted her head and said, "Don't be nervous. It might hurt a little, but it won't have a big impact on your health."
"Okay, I understand," she replied obediently.
Mu Jinyun's hand slid from the top of her head to her cheek, lingered for a moment, then moved to her back, and then hugged her tightly.
A faint, cool fragrance entered Lin Banjian's nostrils.
"...Jinyun?" She asked in a muffled voice, held tightly in his arms.
"Banjian, let's get married after we get out of here, okay?"
Marriage?
Once she was outside, her heart's blood was gone, and she was of no value to him. Should he still marry her?
"From now on, you will be my immortal partner! Banjian, can you hear me? My heart is pounding with excitement!"
Of course you can.
Her cheek was pressed against his chest, and his racing heartbeat resonated with hers.
"I'm so happy to see you!"
The thought that the two of them would soon become husband and wife, and that his years of waiting and protection would finally come to fruition, filled him with overwhelming excitement and joy.
"good."
It's finally coming to an end.
She slowly closed her eyes in his arms.
