Everyone stared at Xu Tian's departure with various feelings, between pride, sadness, loss, and preparing to endure longing.
They were aware that what Xu Tian would do for the good of everyone, especially his loved ones and those whom he already considered family.
" Be calm, An'er will be fine." Said Lin Hua, holding Qing Ling's hand which now clearly showed sadness in both eyes.
Qing Ling looked at Lin Hua trying to smile. " Gege.I will wait for you here, and will continue to be patient waiting for your presence." Inner Qing Ling, then hugged Lin Hua.
Feng Louzhi immediately said goodbye to everyone. He did not want to waste much more time, seeing that his young master had left, nor would he keep silent.
His initial destination was to the place that would become the headquarters or the establishment of the Phoenician Heavenly Dragon Sect by bringing Ming Zhou with him.
After that, he would go to the auction house to talk about the alliance that Xu Tian had planned.
" Louzhi. wait, I'll come along.." Said Qing Ling, upon seeing that Feng Louzhi was about to leave.
Hearing Qing Ling's remark, Qing Emperor Jiang and Empress Yan Li Wei immediately looked towards her.
" Lad..." Say both, full of question marks.
" Dad, mom, just relax, it's been my decision. I'll help Gege.." Qing Ling said firmly, implied the confidence that radiated in her two eyes.
" If so, I'll come too.." Qing Longzi.
" No, you'd better stay in the palace, however big brother is the crown prince, you should be next to me." Qing Ling refused.
Feng Louzhi also approached Emperor Qing Jiang. " Emperor, I am Feng Louzhi, promised to take care of Princess Qing Ling with my own life. However Princess Qing Ling is the young master's fiancee, I should have taken care of her as well. So you don't have to worry." Feng Louzhi convinced both Qing Ling's parents.
Hearing what Feng Louzhi said, Qing Emperor Jiang and Empress Yan Li Wei felt a little calm.
" If it's my daughter's decision, then I'll allow it." Said Emperor Qing Jiang, as did Empress Yan Li Wei who also agreed.
Qing Ling smiled happily, she would do her best to not just be a burden to her loved ones.
" dad..Mom.., I want to come along too." Xu Mei pleaded with her parents.
Xu Mei had already missed Bai Hu so much, it had been a long time since she had played with the little Tiger. Han Zishu was so excited when he heard Xu Mei's words.
Xu Yuan and Lin Hua looked at each other, then nodded their heads.
" Em..if so, we should also say goodbye." Said Xu Yuan, he will also return to the Xu Clan which currently has a new residence not far from the place that will be made the sect of the Heavenly Phoenix Dragon Faction.
" Emm. okay, if you're going now. Be careful and play often to this palace." Said Emperor Qing Jiang.
" Of course, we will come to this palace often. Thank you so much for giving us a place and welcoming us very well." Said Xu Yuan respectfully.
" Hahaha.we're going to be besan, I should have done that." Emperor Qing Jiang with a laugh, although after this he would feel lonely.
After conversing, finally Xu Yuan, Lin Hua, Lin Zuan, Xie Mayleen, Feng Louzhi, Qing Ling, Ming Zhou, and Xu Mei, Han Zishu immediately left.
Emperor Qing Jiang, Empress Yan Li Wei and Qing Longzi were staring at the departure of everyone sadly, now they would start to get busy again with the affairs of the Empire.

Somewhere else.
Xu Tian intended to head for the forest of death first, before going to the Northern Continent.
Until the afternoon, Xu Tian finally arrived at the forest of death. He calmly continued to move towards the cave occupied by Elder Ji.
" Swush....." Xu Tian came down, while already in front of the cave.
With a calm step, he flicked his hand to open the seal attached in front of the entrance.
Inside the cave itself, Elder Ji and General Qing felt that someone who had come was being wary.
Before long, they both saw a handsome young man, dressed in white, walking towards them.
" Daughter, you're finally here." General Qing said with a friendly smile, welcoming Xu Tian's arrival.
Xu Tian smiled, then saluted Elder Ji and General Qing.
" Sorry, for having made the Elders and Generals wait for a long time."
" There's no need to apologize, son, it's only natural for you to have just become engaged to the most beautiful girl in the eastern continent, and possibly all over the world." Elder Ji said with a soft chuckle.
General Qing himself only smiled, but in his heart was such a deep longing.
Xu Tian then sat down in front of the two, then calmly started to talk about the information he had just obtained.
Elder Ji and General Qing were calmly listening to what Xu Tian had said.
An hour later, Xu Tian finished explaining what he knew, as well as his intention to adventure and search for the shards of demon souls.
" If so, then we'll both support the plan you've prepared." Said Elder Ji, who was approved by General Qing.
" Elder Ji was right, even we just found out some of the information you just said." General Qing chimed in.
Xu Tian nodded his head, then looked inside General Qing.
Getting such a gaze from Xu Tian, General Qing seemed to realize what Xu Tian was about to say immediately prepared to say honestly.
" General, you must know what I want to ask, right?"
General Qing nodded his head, then took a deep breath.
" What you have in mind is true, but I ask that you do not say this to them." Said General Qing with a smile, and expectantly.
Xu Tian nodded his head. " Why should the General keep this matter a secret to them? shouldn't the General appear before them, that they may know the General's whereabouts."
" Daughter, I also feel that what you're saying is what I should do, but I also have a reason to do this." Said General Qing helplessly.
Xu Tian also realized that something was important, so he did not want to go too far and interfere in the matter.
Most importantly, he knew the truth.
" Okay, maybe that was the general's choice. I just hope that one day the General will return." Said Xu Tian with a smile.
" You take it easy, son, in the future I'll definitely be back." General Qing returned Xu Tian's smile.
