Fu Yue knelt for nearly half an hour without raising his head. Huan Bo and Wang Yao looked at Chang Le uneasily, and Chang Le stepped forward and landed next to Fu Yue.
Upon hearing her voice, Fu Yue said in a hoarse and weak voice, "Lele, let me return to the embrace of the mountains."
Chang Le was not surprised by his choice. From the moment Fu Yue came here, he was prepared to die.
"good."
This is Chang Le's answer.
Fu Yue remained kneeling for an unknown period of time before whispering, "Please bury me with them in these mountains."
This time, Chang Le did not answer.
Because of Fu Yue, it's impossible to hear her reply anymore.
Wang Yao and Huan Bo lowered their heads.
"Okay," Chang Le replied softly.
Chang Le stepped into the deep valley and awakened the Deep Valley Dragon. He used the dragon's flame to cremate Fu Yue's body and buried the ashes in the snow on the top of the Roof Ridge Mountain.
As he was leaving, Chang Le paused and looked back.
The golden light from the east caresses the snow-capped peaks and spills across the plateau, making it seem as if countless golden pagodas appear atop the mountain ranges, gently and silently watching over this land that has weathered countless storms, day after day.
Chang Le smiled, turned and left, the golden light of the snow-capped peak watching and following her.
At the end of the month, Granny Wu passed away in her sleep.
In October, Master Feng Mingyue of the Feng Huo Tang in the Eighth District also passed away peacefully.
With this, all the leaders of the nine regions from eighty years ago, headed by Qin Shaoji and Ying Miao, have passed away.
After the funeral arrangements for Granny Wu were completed, the atmosphere within the Dragon Sect was somewhat somber. Chang Le, after discussing with Chang Feng and others, decided to hold a three-year selection process to choose the next leadership for the Dragon Scale Society, Cuiwei Academy, Tianzhou Pavilion, and Dragon Soul Army. Through this healthy competition, the Dragon Sect gradually regained its vitality.
The decision to select was unanimously agreed upon. Among the core members of the Dragon Sect, apart from the four juniors Wang Yao, the youngest are Iris and Wan Buxun, who are already in their fifties and sixties. Changfeng and Chen Wusui are both over seventy years old. Although they look young, they can no longer work under high pressure for long periods of time.
In recent years, influenced by Chang Le and Fu Jiu, the younger generation of the Dragon Sect has produced many talented individuals, especially Chen Wu, Tao Zi, Fu Heqing, and Wang Yao, who have shown exceptional performance and are fully capable of handling things independently. It is time to put them together for testing and making arrangements.
The selection was left to Xue Wuwang, Wan Buxun, and Yuanwei, while Chang Le went to the Wolf Faction.
The Wolf Faction had already appointed its new core management team faster than the Dragon Faction, consisting of the four people who followed Lu Jin'an:
Yu Chuanxing, the leader of the Black Wolf Society, who is in charge of handling administrative affairs; Liu Qiongsi, a master of mecha research and chairman of the Gray Domain Group; Sui Yunmu, the leader of the War Wolf Dao who commands troops; and Crow, the president of the Gray Iron Society who is in charge of assassination and espionage and Lu Jin'an's personal bodyguard.
Cang Yue, Jing Yuyan, Yun Canghai, and Xiang Qing have already stepped down from their positions.
Knowing that Chang Le was coming, the Wolf Clan had already sent people to greet her and take her to see Lu Yanhuai.
"How could you be sick?" Chang Le frowned, his expression authoritative without being angry.
The guard leading the way quickly replied, "The doctor said it was because he stayed in the garden too long yesterday and caught a cold from the cold autumn wind. It's a heart problem caused by the cold. He's out of danger after treatment, but he needs a period of observation and rest."
As they were talking, they arrived at Lu Yanhuai's ward in the medical department.
Lu Yanhuai lay on the bed with a nasal tube inserted. There were sophisticated monitoring instruments around the bed. Yu Chuanxing was talking with the medical staff. After he finished talking, he saw Chang Le and immediately came out: "Sister Chang Le, you're here."
Yu Chuanxing is older than Chang Le, but apart from Lu Jin'an, the four of them are used to calling her "sister".
"Hmm, is he asleep?"
Just as he finished asking, Lu Yanhuai, who was resting with his eyes closed on the bed, turned around upon hearing the voice. Yu Chuanxing smiled and said, "Go ahead, the old gentleman must miss you very much."
Tamagawa left the two of them alone.
Chang Le adjusted the headboard height and position for Lu Yanhuai.
Lu Yanhuai took a breath before speaking: "You must have had a tough time lately?"
With the passing of two elders of the Dragon Faction, followed by a tense and lengthy selection process, and with matters related to mutants, fusion theories, and new plans requiring Chang Le's constant attention, he is likely to be exhausted both physically and mentally.
Chang Le shook his head: "No."
"How have you been feeling lately? Your previous breakthrough was too rushed, and I'm worried it might leave some hidden problems. I didn't have a chance to ask last time. You didn't tell me unless I asked."
"I'm fine." Chang Le paused for a moment, then added, "You should take good care of yourself."
A hint of helplessness appeared in Lu Yanhuai's eyes, and he did not answer her.
Chang Le suddenly reached out and grasped his rough hand: "Can I come see you again next time?"
Lu Yanhuai was taken aback, then realized something and slightly propped himself up: "You're leaving?"
"Lie down and don't move around."
After Chang Le helped him lie down, he said, "The new plan, the selection process, and matters related to the mutation fusion are all on track. You can leave them to Luo Xuan and the others. Chen Wu and the others are already capable of handling things on their own, so I don't need to worry about them. With the Dragon Sect stable, I'm going to do some other things."
"About what?" Lu Yanhuai guessed, "Fu Guang?"
Chang Le nodded gently: "I want to try to find him and my parents."
Lu Yanhuai didn't question it, but simply asked, "Do you have a clue?"
Chang Le said, "Fu Guang still has a wisp of his remnant soul and some of his energy sealed in the reverse scale within my body, and I also brought the dragon bone back to nurture it in the dragon tomb. Although his soul's consciousness was completely burned out and he died when he saved me, he was not completely gone without a trace. Perhaps through these things he left behind, I can find a way to find him."
