“So it’s Miss Shang! Please come in.” Su Chen waved his hand. The hall door automatically opened.
Shang Zimo walked into the hall. Her gaze landed on Su Chen as she looked around the tidy hall. Her delicate body froze as she softly said, “Big Brother Su, you… Are you leaving?”
“Mm, yes.” Su Chen nodded gently.
He had nothing to hide about this since he had made up his mind to leave.
“Brother Su Chen, when do you plan to come back?” Shang Zimo asked hopefully.
She didn’t have any relatives left. She used to have an old servant, but after getting seriously injured, he left and never returned. Although Su Chen told her that Elder Wang was rebuilding his body, that wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two – it would take at least several years.
After Su Chen left, she would be the only one in this massive palace, with no one left to accompany her.
“Well… It’s hard to say.” Su Chen shook his head lightly.
His goal this time was the Southern Region. Even just flying there would take at least a few years. As to the teleportation formations, he wasn’t sure if there were any leading to the Southern Region in the East Barrens. Even if there were, they should be controlled by major factions.
“Then…” Shang Zimo pursed her lips, finally mustering her courage to ask, “Big Brother Su Chen, will you come back?”
“Why do you ask?” Su Chen’s brows furrowed as he looked at her in confusion. Although going to the Southern Region would take time, he would eventually return one day.
“It’s nothing.” Shang Zimo shook her head, looking somewhat desolate. Her intuition told her that after this separation, the gap between them would probably be even more difficult to cross when they met again.
After all, Su Chen’s cultivation speed had surpassed many people’s knowledge. As for her, she was just an ordinary cultivator. Although she had the Heavenly Bloodshed Bead, just that one thing alone couldn’t make up the gap between her and Su Chen – it would be a fool’s dream.
Most importantly, the moment she entered the palace, she had keenly sensed Su Chen’s aura seem to change for an instant! But the change was too quick for her to grasp. Such a situation occurring, she felt Su Chen’s cultivation very likely had a breakthrough. He might have become so powerful even she could not fathom it.
“Don’t worry.” Su Chen looked deeply at Shang Zimo, immediately understanding her thoughts. He wasn’t a blockhead – how could he not see through others’ thoughts?
He gazed at her and softly said, “Whether it’s a short period of five years or a longer span of several decades, I will definitely come back.” A few decades was not long in the cultivation world. After all, at the Saint Realm, lifespans started at ten thousand years. With proper care, living 20,000 to 30,000 years would not be difficult.
As for Shang Zimo, she already had the Heavenly Bloodshed Bead. Once refining it, wouldn’t she become a female saint? With luck, she could even enter the Great Saint Realm.
“Is what Big Brother Su Chen said true?” Shang Zimo’s eyes lit up as she smiled like a young girl, bright and beautiful with emotion that made one feel warm.
“Of course it’s true.” Su Chen smiled and reached to tidy her hair. Then he turned and walked out, a very intimate gesture that left Shang Zimo stunned as she quietly watched him depart, feeling the lingering warmth in her palm.
“Big Brother Su Chen, 1 will wait for you, no matter how many years!”
“Master, why didn’t you bring her along?” Ten thousand miles away in the sky, Long Wu stared at Su Chen inside a divine chariot, wanting to fully see through her mysterious master.
She was different from Shang Zimo. Her strength was greater, and from being together day and night, she could easily distinguish Su Chen’s differences.
The difference was quite obvious. In the past, she could still clearly see his cultivation level. But now, Su Chen seemed shrouded in obscurity. When her divine sense swept over, his cultivation appeared to be in the initial stage of the Saint Realm.
But the problem was that Su Chen gave her a hair-raising feeling as if his strong body contained energy that could destroy the world – an oppression he’d never given before.
Previously, though nominally his subordinate, she had always been in the role of a Dao protector. But after today, their positions seemed completely switched. Su Chen’s title of Master seemed truly earned now.
“Bringing her along now will curse her,” Su Chen said slowly. “Even I might not be able to fully protect her against a strong enemy.”
“Then why is Master going to the Southern Region?” Long Wu asked again. The difference between there and the East Barrens was too vast. Some ancient factions might not even appear at the same time. During this time period, going there would not hold much significance for Su Chen in terms of gaining experience. Once Su Chen went, it would just be a case of overkill.
“I’m going to meet someone!” Ye Ruxue’s figure flashed across Su Chen’s mind as he spoke indifferently.
He was very curious where Ye Ruxue, with the memories of her rebirth, had reached now. Even Qin Hao had entered the Nirvana Realm. Cao Yun had entered the Quasi-Saint Realm. No matter how bad, Ye Ruxue should be around this level too, right?
Of course, he didn’t rule out her being even stronger. With her previous life’s experience, she would avoid many detours in this life.
“Could it be Master’s fiancee?” Long Wu excitedly said. Earlier, when following Su Chen back to the Great Mystery Sacred Sect, she had heard about this from the disciples.
Now, Su Chen suddenly mentioned going south. Somehow, she instantly thought of this. Of course, she would be curious about this rumored mistress.
After all, it didn’t matter whether they met sooner or later.
“Yes, just…” Su Chen smiled, about to reply, when he suddenly stopped. His eyes narrowed as he gazed outside.
At this moment, Long Wu’s expression also changed as she looked out the window with Su Chen..
