Ji Kongmeng returned to the courtyard and found that Su Hanjiang had not come back.
Feelings of disappointment are inevitable.
Before Su Hanjiang expresses his forgiveness, all of Ye Wan's eloquent words will be in vain.
After understanding the cause and effect, Chu Yiming also had some doubts.
I don't know what suddenly went wrong with Su Hanjiang, that he started instructing other people's children on what to do for no reason.
Could it be that he's getting old and his illness has flared up?
It's said that people's personalities change drastically as they get older.
He has elderly parents to care for, young children to raise, and the person in the middle is mentally challenged.
Chu Yiming felt an increasing weight on his shoulders.
He made up his mind that he would work even harder from now on and take on the responsibility of protecting the entire Moonfall Crow Valley as soon as possible.
Chu Yiming broke through, and Ye Wan was overjoyed, hugging him and crying.
"Waaaaah, this is great! Senior brother, you've broken through! Now I can do whatever I want!"
Chu Yiming patted her back reassuringly: "Junior sister, although I have broken through, you'd better be careful."
Ye Wan chuckled twice and released Chu Yiming.
"Senior brother, you must be so happy that you broke through! Well, I have some bad news for you: Sister Mianmian doesn't want you anymore!"
...
This is like throwing cold water on someone; it's devoid of any emotion.
Chu Yiming had just broken through to the next level when he opened his eyes and found the entire courtyard empty.
The desolation of the entire courtyard made him feel a sense of loss.
He searched for a long time but only found one letter.
It was left to him by Ding Yumin.
They said there was something going on at Chunshui Pavilion and they had to go ahead first.
It ended with the line: "Take care, and we look forward to the future."
Ye Wan translated it as: You better eat properly, or you'll regret it.
Chu Yiming has benefited greatly from his visit to the Immortal Demon Conference.
Not only did my skills improve, but I also truly experienced the precious friendship between people.
I gained a lifelong friend whom I can trust.
If Ding Yumin knew how much Chu Yiming cherished it, she might have mixed feelings.
Chu Yiming is really a person with no emotional intelligence.
[Immortal Venerable's Side Courtyard]
The moonlight was exceptionally bright.
The cold light shone down on the entire courtyard.
Zheng Nansheng sat in the courtyard, staring at the crescent moon for a long time, and finally the person arrived.
"Come in."
He had prepared tea in advance, waiting for Ji Kongmeng to arrive.
"Please sit down."
Zheng Nansheng poured a glass for Ji Kongmeng and handed it to him.
Ji Kongmeng calmly accepted the drink, took a sip, and frowned.
"This is red camellia, which you didn't like before."
Red tea has a fragrant aroma and a slightly sweet taste, and is generally liked by children and female cultivators.
When Ji Kongmeng was a child, he tasted it for the first time and thought it tasted great.
So he brewed a pot of it and presented it to Zheng Nansheng like a precious treasure.
Zheng Nansheng was very obliging and drank a cup of it, even praising him for brewing it well.
For three consecutive months, Ji Kongmeng would brew a pot of tea and drink it with Zheng Nansheng every few days.
On one occasion, Li Bing'er entertained them in her courtyard and specially brewed two kinds of tea, saying that Zheng Nansheng did not like Hongshan tea.
Ji Kongmeng never soaked in it again after that.
He himself stopped drinking it.
Strangely enough, this was just a trivial matter.
He still remembers it to this day.
Zheng Nansheng said, "People change."
A few months ago, I always had a bitter taste in my mouth and no appetite, so Lord Lin brought me this tea.
I thought it was great, so I kept it.
Ji Kongmeng suddenly asked, "Have you ever regretted it?"
...
His question seemed abrupt, but those listening understood what he meant.
Zheng Nansheng said, "Yes, but at that time I wouldn't have had a second choice."
You were once my closest brother, and I don't want to lie to you.
I betrayed your trust. You hate me, but I don't blame you at all.
I just hope you won't make yourself suffer anymore.
Ji Kongmeng knew, of course, that Zheng Nansheng was telling the truth.
The more sincere and heartfelt the words were, the more uneasy he felt.
If Zheng Nansheng were to feign sympathy and explain his predicament, hoping Ji Kongmeng would consider his perspective, perhaps Ji Kongmeng would truly come to despise him.
In this way, the inner demon will naturally disappear.
"You're such a despicable person, you're so hateful that you can't even hate you completely."
Zheng Nansheng gently stroked the teacup with his index finger and said softly, "I'm sorry."
Ji Kongmeng looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky.
Bright and clear, yet always cold and distant.
It's unfathomable, and beyond my reach.
Maybe we should just forget about it.
He stood up, his back to Zheng Nansheng, preparing to leave: "This time I'm really leaving. Goodbye, senior brother."
If you can't let go of the past, you can't embrace the future.
His mind was made up.
Zheng Nansheng watched Ji Kongmeng leave and took a sip of red mountain tea.
The tea tastes a bit bitter today, probably because of limescale buildup in the kettle.
Fortunately, he hasn't been taking his medicine lately.
The next day.
Ye Wan went out for breakfast as usual.
Seeing that Ji Kongmeng was not in good spirits, he pulled Chu Yiming along.
Chu Yiming naturally agreed without hesitation.
The main thing is that there's really nothing going on right now. As long as Su Hanjiang comes back, they can go back to the valley.
I've been away from home for a few months now, and I really miss it.
After finishing his early morning cultivation, Ji Kongmeng burned incense in Su Hanjiang's room.
Although Su Hanjiang hardly ever stayed in this room.
After finishing the fumigation, he brewed a pot of tea.
He didn't drink any himself, but just sat to the side meditating and regulating his breathing.
He had to do these things every day while he was in the courtyard.
