Seeing Su Nian's persistence, Mo Rouyun felt a pang of pity and said softly, "Before she passed away, she said something to me."
Su Nian slowly raised her head, her eyes dull and lifeless, and asked in a low voice, "What did you say?"
She said... her biggest regret in life was not being able to have that long-awaited wedding with you.
As soon as Mo Rouyun finished speaking, Su Nian's body trembled slightly, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
He silently hugged Qian Shudie tighter, as if trying to warm her gradually cooling body with his own body heat.
For a long time... for a long time...
Mo Rouyun did not go up to disturb him, because she knew very well that Su Nian must be deeply mired in grief at this moment.
Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, Mo Rouyun finally walked up behind Su Nian and said softly, "After being cleansed by the spring water of the Immortal Realm, your body has the potential to ascend to immortality, but that is far from enough. To make further breakthroughs, you must obtain a sufficient amount of spiritual energy. Go down the mountain from here, and you will be able to return directly to the Nine Provinces. There are many people waiting for you there."
At this very moment, the conflict and war between the two realms have not yet ceased. The Nine Provinces Continent and the Demon Realm are still locked in a fierce and protracted battle, with flames of war raging across the land. However, compared to the previous breathtaking invasion of the Evil Immortals, this scale of war is utterly insignificant and trivial, like children playing a game.
As if she had already read Su Nian's mind, Mo Rouyun's expression became unusually solemn. She slowly spoke, her tone exceptionally serious: "Your master specifically asked me to convey a message to you." This message seemed to have some special importance, so much so that when Mo Rouyun spoke it, her eyes revealed an undisguised earnestness and seriousness.
"What did you say?" Su Nian's throat sounded as if it had been scorched by flames, producing a hoarse and low voice.
"When you attain the qualification to become an immortal, that will be the best opportunity for us to launch a full-scale counterattack! Although the Demonic Immortal is powerful, he is not invincible! The one who tied the knot must untie it; until you find the way to defeat him, he will do everything in his power to buy you ample time!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a deathly silence enveloped the surroundings, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.
After a long, long time, Su Nian held the lifeless Qian Shudie tightly in her arms, clenching her teeth and trying her best to suppress the anger in her voice, questioning her word by word: "You...were you...a celestial being from beginning to end?"
Mo Rouyun's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but then she suddenly stopped. She clearly sensed the endless grievances and resentment that filled Su Nian's heart at this moment, yet faced with such a question, she couldn't find a single word to comfort her.
"The immortals created Ye Hua, yet they are helpless against him. So you meticulously planned to create me, hoping that I would clean up this mess for you. Isn't that right?!" Su Nian's gaze was like a knife, piercing straight at Mo Rouyun, causing the latter to lose her composure and be speechless.
Su Nian slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on Mo Rouyun, his eyes filled with endless despair and sorrow, as if the whole world had collapsed at that moment. He murmured to himself, "My initial wish was simply to be an ordinary disciple of Liuli Peak... Why was I chosen to bear all of this?"
Mo Rouyun couldn't help but sigh, shook her head helplessly, and said softly, "Nian'er, the affairs of the Immortal Realm are far more complicated than you can imagine... and the matter of that strange immortal is destined to be resolved by you personally."
However, at this moment, Su Nian was no longer able to listen to these words.
He held the unconscious Qian Shudie tightly in his arms and carefully stood up from the warm spring water. Then, he quickly picked up a brightly colored gauze dress from the side, and with skillful and nimble movements, gently put it on Qian Shudie's delicate body in the blink of an eye.
"If even the immortals can't solve this problem, why should I help you clean up this mess?"
He held Qian Shudie's cold body tightly, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear. Every step he took felt so heavy, as if he were carrying the weight of the entire world on his back.
As he passed by Mo Rouyun, he stopped and said in a deep but firm voice, "This time when I come down the mountain, I will do my best to make up for the wedding that I didn't finish with Shu Die. Fourth Elder, although you have kept these things from me, I still hope that you can attend my wedding out of consideration for our past relationship."
After saying this, he didn't linger any longer and resolutely turned and left. His figure gradually receded into the distance, eventually disappearing into the distance, leaving behind only a lonely, desolate, and forlorn silhouette that moved everyone who saw it.
A gentle breeze blew by, seemingly lamenting this tragic story. Mo Rouyun stood quietly, gazing in the direction he had gone, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She knew what this wedding meant to him, and she understood that she couldn't refuse the invitation.
After Su Nian walked away and disappeared from sight, another graceful figure slowly emerged from the shadows and lightly approached Mo Rouyun's side.
Her gaze was empty and lost as she stared straight in the direction Su Nian had left, as if trying to see into the depths of his heart through that vast distance.
After a long while, she finally came to her senses as if waking from a dream, gently raising her hand to press on her chest, feeling her heart pounding violently in her chest cavity.
Looking at the distraught woman before her, Mo Rouyun felt a surge of pity, but mostly a sense of helplessness. She sighed softly, smiled gently, and asked softly, "Are you satisfied now?"
His voice carried a hint of teasing and doting.
Upon hearing this, the woman's face immediately flushed with a shy blush, as delicate and alluring as a ripe apple.
She lowered her head and responded with a barely audible "Mmm..."
