“I’ll go with you.”
“Cha’er, when do you want to go see your parents?” Chu Man felt a bit complicated about Song Cha wanting to meet the parents so soon, but still somewhat wanted to go immediately.
“Master, after I say goodbye to my friends, I’ll go. I can go today.” Song Cha said.
Chu Man nodded: “Then your master will wait for you in the cave dwelling.” Thinking about meeting the parents, Chu Man’s attitude towards Song Cha softened a lot, losing the arrogance a master had towards a disciple.
After all, although Song Cha was her disciple, this disciple was soon to become her partner. One could be superior to a disciple, but there was no need with a partner.
Song Cha found Chu Man’s sudden closeness a bit strange, but thought it was just because she had touched Chu Man’s hand and agreed to take her home, earning more of Chu Man’s favor.
“Then Master, I’ll go first. After saying goodbye to my friends, I will come back.” Song Cha said.
After leaving Chu Man’s cave dwelling, Song Cha started thinking about the friends she needed to say goodbye to.
Wu Longyue and Shao Yumiao were definitely on the list, besides, she also needed to say goodbye to Long Aotian. The others were not necessary.
Wu Longyue and Shao Yumiao were the friends who gave her the most gifts, and Long Aotian was the protagonist. If she didn’t say goodbye, he would definitely feel slighted if he couldn’t find her.
As for the others, Song Cha didn’t need to care at all.
After deciding, Song Cha planned to find Shao Yumiao and Wu Longyue first.
Because of the grand cultivation competition in the Qingfeng Sect, many courtyards were used to accommodate distinguished guests. The young master of the Wu clan and the young sect master of the Jian sect met this standard and lived in these courtyards.
However, since the grand cultivation competition had already concluded, most people had left, with only a few still here.
Song Cha was closer to Shao Yumiao’s courtyard, so she knocked on Shao Yumiao’s door.
The one who opened the door was Shao Yumiao herself, dressed in white, her demeanor like that of high mountain snow, cold yet indifferent.
Seeing Song Cha, a warmth appeared in her eyes: “Cha Cha, you’re here.”
“Beautiful sister, I’m here.” Song Cha also looked at Shao Yumiao tenderly, “This time, I’ve come to say goodbye.”
“Goodbye?” Shao Yumiao was extremely surprised.
“Yes, goodbye. I want to go back to the mortal world to see my parents, I haven’t seen them for a long time.” Song Cha said this with genuine emotion.
Shao Yumiao: “…”
Hearing Song Cha say she wanted to return to the mortal world to see her parents, Shao Yumiao felt a bit unhappy. If Song Cha went back to the mortal world, it would be a long time before she could see her again. Just thinking about not being able to see Song Cha for a long time made Shao Yumiao feel gloomy. But… going to see parents whom she hadn’t seen for a long time was very important, so important that Shao Yumiao couldn’t possibly stop her. Thinking this, Shao Yumiao’s heart felt a bit sour.
But she still didn’t stop Song Cha, only saying, “Then, Cha Cha, you must come back soon.”
“Beautiful sister, don’t worry, even for you, I will come back soon,” Song Cha earnestly looked at Shao Yumiao, her eyes full of her. Being looked at by Song Cha like this, Shao Yumiao’s originally sour mood suddenly got a bit better. She took out a small sword from her storage bag and handed it to Song Cha: “Cha Cha, take this. This is a sword intent I’ve condensed, capable of releasing ten of my attacks. Take it, and don’t refuse.”
Being looked at so earnestly by Shao Yumiao, Song Cha finally nodded: “Beautiful sister, I will accept it. I will definitely come back safely to see you.” The two looked into each other’s eyes, like a couple about to go into battle. Seeing this scene, and hearing their conversation, one would never guess that Song Cha was just going back to the mortal world to see her parents.
After looking at each other for a while, Song Cha finally said goodbye. Now, she was going to see Wu Longyue. Knocking on Wu Longyue’s door was a quick affair. But it wasn’t Wu Longyue who opened the door, but one of Wu Longyue’s subordinates. However, since the subordinate recognized Song Cha, she was quickly able to see Wu Longyue. “Sister Song Cha, you’re leaving?” Wu Longyue’s voice didn’t contain sadness, only a bit of joy.
When Wu Longyue spoke with a joyful voice, Song Cha felt a bit strange.
It seemed that Song Cha was struck by the joy in Wu Longyue’s words, and couldn’t help but ask, “Longyue, do you… want me to leave?”
Wu Longyue: “……”
Wu Longyue: “…Sister Song Cha, you misunderstood. I’m happy because my clan sent a message, calling me back for something very important. I’m actually sad that I won’t be able to see Sister Song Cha again. I didn’t expect Sister Song Cha to be leaving too, so that’s why…”
Hearing Wu Longyue’s words, Song Cha understood all at once.
Wu Longyue was now required to return to his clan for a transformation. Once he went back and transformed, everything about him would change completely.
“As long as you don’t dislike me, it’s fine.” Song Cha was coaxed by Wu Longyue’s words and became happy again.
“How could I not like you when I love you, Sister?” Wu Longyue’s gaze remained on Song Cha, “Just the thought of not seeing Sister for a long time makes me very sad.”
Song Cha was moved and couldn’t help but hold Wu Longyue’s hand, “I feel the same, thinking about not seeing Longyue makes me feel terrible.”
The two exchanged silent glances.
After the exchange, Wu Longyue presented a jade folding fan: “Sister Song Cha, this is for you. I obtained this magical tool for you. When you practice, opening it can help purify spiritual energy, and it can also withstand ten attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators. Keep it safe and protect yourself.”
The fan was truly beautiful.
Each fan blade was carved with exquisite patterns, and the jade was of the highest quality. Just looking at such a fan, Song Cha liked it very much.
However, she was still going to refuse.
But before Song Cha could speak, Wu Longyue spoke first: “Sister Song Cha, you must accept it. Otherwise, I’ll worry about your safety and won’t be able to concentrate on my cultivation.”
Song Cha: “……”
Song Cha was silenced by Wu Longyue’s words and finally quietly accepted the fan.
After a few more words, Song Cha bid farewell to Wu Longyue.
This time, Song Cha was going to say goodbye to Long Aotian.
But Song Cha was disappointed.
When Song Cha knocked on the door of Long Aotian’s small courtyard and mentioned she wanted to see Long Aotian, Long Aotian’s roommate regretfully informed Song Cha that Long Aotian had been in closed-door cultivation recently and could not meet anyone.
Song Cha had no choice but to ask Long Aotian’s roommate to convey to Long Aotian that she was going to visit her family, then she reluctantly left.
Having said goodbye to everyone she needed to, Song Cha then went to find Chu Man and told her that she had finished her farewells.
Chu Man, being an elder of the sect, could freely travel by sword within the sect.
But every minute spent with Song Cha was a joy for Chu Man.
So, Chu Man did not fly on her sword but chose to walk to the sect’s main gate with Song Cha, step by step.
Finally, they reached the sect’s main gate, and Song Cha took another step forward.
It was this step that made Song Cha see someone at the gate of the sect.
Dressed in white, with a temperament as pure as snow.
Shao Yumiao was standing at the gate of the sect.
Seeing Song Cha, she walked step by step towards Song Cha until she stopped in front of her.
Looking at Song Cha, she said, “Cha Cha, I regret it.”
“I’ll accompany you to see your parents.”
