The elder opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing, only asking, "What were you trying to do? Open a spacetime rift? Were you trying to leave?"
The elder's last words were spoken to Wan Ge, his gaze fixed intently on her.
After the elder said that, Qi Zhi tightened his grip on Wan Ge's hand. But then, as if remembering something, he silently prepared to let go.
"I'm not leaving." Wan Ge said with particular certainty, still holding Qi Zhi's hand tightly.
She had already gripped Qi Zhi's hand tightly again when Wan Ge stood in front of him.
Wan Ge spoke with absolute certainty, but Yun Cang guiltily touched his nose. Outsiders might not know, but how could his brother not?
From a young age, Yun Cang would touch his nose whenever he felt guilty. Just now, when the topic of opening spacetime rifts came up, he noticed that Yun Cang's expression was off.
He hadn't had a proper talk with Yun Cang yet, but he seemed to have already guessed what Yun Cang and Wan Ge were talking about.
After receiving his brother's gaze, Yun Cang coughed awkwardly.
Even if his brother guessed right, so what? Things had already come to this point. He had originally planned to tell his brother anyway.
He hadn't expected that Wan Ge would actually find a way to open the portal to time and space so quickly.
…
Besides the elders, many of Yun Qing's clansmen arrived. Under the clan leader's arrangement, their clan reinforced the barrier, but the area of the barrier was smaller than before.
When the others arrived and saw the Yunqing clan, they were all filled with resentment, but what could they do when they were too slow to arrive and couldn't defeat them? They could only leave in anger.
Since Wan Ge had already confirmed the method, she told Yun Cang, "Make good preparations, preferably as soon as possible."
He sensed that if he didn't act quickly, the current situation could very well turn against Qizhi.
Wan Ge didn't want her beloved to be hurt, so she quickly sent Yun Cang and Ye Jiaojiao back to that world, and then left with Qi Zhi.
As for what the spirit stone is used for, Wan Ge doesn't want to investigate it for the time being; she just feels that the further away from it the better.
…
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Qi Zhi disappeared without a trace. Yun Qing and Yun Cang went home, and Wan Ge naturally returned to her temporary residence as well.
Yun Qing looked at his younger brother and said, "Tell me, did she open the gate to another world to send Ye Jiaojiao back, and did you plan to go with her?"
Yun Cang nodded without denying it: "Our clan has only one partner in a lifetime. Since I have already chosen her as my partner, then I can't live without her in this life."
Yun Qing sighed, "So that's why you suddenly grew up, you were saying goodbye to us. Yun Cang, you're unfamiliar with that world, are you really going?"
Yun Cang nodded: "I believe her. Now that she's made up her mind, I'm not afraid of anywhere."
Looking into his resolute eyes, Yun Qing felt a strange connection to Wan Ge back then. It turns out that when you love someone with such unwavering determination, it's all the same.
He knew very well that he couldn't persuade Wan Ge, nor could he persuade his younger brother: "Since you've already made up your mind, then I can only offer my blessings. Let me see if I can prepare something for you."
"Brother, thank you!" Yun Cang's eyes were red, and all he could feel for his brother was gratitude.
Yun Qing reached out and touched his younger brother's head. He recalled how their parents had passed away when they were very young, and how Yun Cang had been sickly as a child, looking at him pitifully.
