Double Cultivation
an inevitable departure
"You don't seem to care .. or rather you don't care at all .." Qiuyue said after seeing his indifferent expression.
Su Yang smiled and said, "Xiao Rong is part of the Ghost Cat bloodline, he is not the type to attack others without being lured by them first, especially humans, so they probably deserved it. Moreover, there was nothing I could do now that it had already happened, and also, I would still talk to him when he returned. "
Su Yang had a feeling that Xiao Rong might have caused trouble when he first returned with his disguise uncovered and Profound Qi coming out around his body, so he wasn't too surprised to hear about it actually happening.
After their brief conversation, someone started knocking on the door.
Su Yang walked towards the door to see Matriak Zhu standing outside with almost no breath left inside him.
"Honorable guests! The setting is ready ... These are all the herbs required for the Soul Divination Pill." Matriak Zhu started talking as soon as he calmed down a little.
He took out a storage ring with the materials inside and handed it to Su Yang without wasting any time.
Su Yang received the storage ring with a smile, and he spoke a moment later after confirming its contents, "I started to wonder if you forgot about me, or if you deliberately delayed it …"
Matriak Zhu started to sweat and lowered his head to apologize, "I'm sorry! I don't plan—"
Su Yang raised his hand and interjected, "There is no need to apologize. If anything, I should thank you for this delay."
"Huh?" Matriak Zhu raised his head with a dumbfounded expression.
She grateful? Why would he thank her for delaying the arrangement?
However, Su Yang did not explain anything and continued, "Now that our arrangement has been fulfilled, it is time for me to leave."
Matriak Zhu looked at him with wide eyes. He's just gonna leave? How about concocting a Soul Divination Pill? He even expected that he would concoct pills at their place!
"J-If you don't mind, you can use the cauldron here to concoct pills. I don't mean to be arrogant, but the cauldron in this place is the best you can find on this continent ... And you've been anyway, here … "Matriak Zhu wanted to see him concoct a Soul Divination pill even if he had to lower himself.
After all, even if he had the recipe for the Soul Divination Pill, if he did not know the process to concoct the pill, it would still take decades of practice and failure before he could concoct a Soul Divination Pill.
"Thank you for the offer, but I don't intend to concoct the Soul Divination Pill." Su Yang said, leaving Matriak Zhu confused.
"Huh? You're not planning on concocting pills? Then why are you …"
"That's not something you should worry about, Matriak." Su Yang spoke in an indifferent voice, and he continued, "By the way, we will leave once we finish our preparations."
"But what about my daughter, Zhu Mengyi? I haven't spoken to him for days, do you know where he is?" Matriak Zhu asked.
Su Yang glanced at the cauldron Room with the corner of his eyes and replied, "you don't need to worry. Your daughter is currently resting in the cauldron Room there."
"Let me talk to him—"
Matriak Zhu approached the cauldron Room but was instantly blocked by Su Yang.
"What's wrong?" matriak astonished.
"I think you should leave him alone for now, because he is currently in a state of enlightenment."
"Enlightenment ?! She ?!" Matriak Zhu gasped in shock.
However, Zhu Mengyi gaining enlightenment was just an excuse made by Su Yang to keep Matriak Zhu away from Zhu Mengyi before he recovered from his 'cultivation'. If Matriak Zhu were to enter the cauldron Room right now, he would definitely be terrified for the rest of his life to see his own daughter in her current appearance.
"I-I understand ..." Matriak Zhu immediately threw away the thought of seeing Zhu Mengyi after hearing Su Yang's words.
Then Matriak Zhu left with a bitter taste in his mouth. Although he deeply regretted not being able to witness the Concocted Soul Divination Pill before his eyes, there was nothing he could do about it.
"At least the girl managed to achieve enlightenment ..." she sighed to herself as she returned to her own residence.
As soon as Matriak Zhu disappeared, Su Yang said to Qiuyue, "Prepare to return to the Profound Flower Sect once Xiao Rong returns."
Qiuyue nodded, and he looked to the Cauldron Room. "Enlightenment, yes …"
A few hours later, Xiao Rong returned to Su Yang's side, and coincidentally, Zhu Mengyi also recovered enough energy to walk at that moment.
When Zhu Mengyi saw Su Yang finally preparing to leave, tears streamed down her face.
Although he had prepared himself mentally for his inevitable departure over the past few days, he still couldn't help but become emotional when the time for him to leave finally arrived.
"Do you really have to go?" Zhu Mengyi asked him with red eyes.
"Un." Su Yang nodded.
"Are you coming back someday?"
"i'll try." said Su Yang.
"How long does it take?"
"I don't know." said Su Yang again.
"What's our son's name?"
"…" Su Yang was silent.
Zhu Mengyi became increasingly emotional the longer she spoke to Su Yang, looking like a crybaby after being separated from her parents.
"As long as I'm alive, I'll definitely be back one day – I promise." Su Yang used his hands to wipe away the tears from Zhu Mengyi's beautiful face.
"I'll miss you." said sobbing.
Su Yang suddenly hugged Zhu Mengyi and excitedly kissed her, which only made it harder for Zhu Mengyi to let go.
Zhu Mengyi closed her eyes and returned hugs and kisses.
A while later, Su Yang let go of his hand first because Zhu Mengyi was reluctant to let go.
In the end, this was the destiny that everyone foolishly fell in love with Su Yang had to share, therefore why many looked down on Su Yang in the Four Divine Heavens. And while many of her partners can accept such results and let them go after some time, some will try anything to stay with her, even if it's just for a little longer.
