Outside of Suzaku, Liu Mei's expression was ugly. She was standing on a ray of golden-purple light as she quickly flew away.
"Wang Lin …" Liu Mei bit her lower lip as she flew away like a meteor.
"If it wasn't for teacher secretly giving me the fourth soul of the one-billion-soul soul flag, I'm afraid I would have died ten times over when you four primary souls chased me!"
There was a flash of golden-purple light on Liu Mei's forehead and a thin needle was flashing nonstop between her eyebrows.
When we meet again, I won't be in such a sorry state. Wang Lin, you definitely won't recognize me. After the Thousand Illusion Ruthless Dao is the Ten Thousand Illusion Heavenly Demon Dao! "Liu Mei's eyes became cold as she disappeared among the stars.
Liu Mei wasn't the only one who left Suzaku. At this moment, there was another woman who was quickly flying through the stars.
This woman was wearing a purple veil and her eyes were calm.
She was Zi Xin!
Above Suzaku, in the country of Chu, the Cloud Sky Sect.
At this moment, there was a person sitting in the pavilion that Li Muwan used to live in.
This person was wearing white and his black hair was tied up in a simple ponytail. His appearance was ordinary, but he had a mysterious temperament that would make anyone who saw him unable to forget him for the rest of their lives.
His eyes were calm like a child's, but they were so deep that anyone who looked at them couldn't help but get lost.
At this moment, his expression was normal as he sat there and looked outside through the window.
In the open space outside the window, there was a tiger lazily lying there, basking in the sun. Sometimes it would open its eyes, let out a few roars, and then it would turn its body to bask in the sun.
Under the shade of the tree beside the tiger, there was a woman sitting cross-legged. This woman's appearance was pure, and there was a sense of innocence to her that made her look even more beautiful. She sat there as if she was cultivating. Two white dragons came out from her nose and lingered above her head.
The man inside the pavilion was none other than Wang Lin!
One year ago, after leaving Rosefinch's tomb, he returned to the State of Chu. Upon arriving, he immediately went into secluded meditation, which lasted for an entire year!
After a year, Wang Lin finally completely recovered from the injuries left in the tomb of Rosefinch. His cultivation level improved slightly. Although he did not reach the Middle-stage of Nascent Soul, he was more stable in the Early-stage of Nascent Soul.
Seven days ago, Zhou Wutai of the Rosefinch Kingdom sent an invitation to Wang Lin to attend his conferring ceremony, but Wang Lin declined.
Zhou Wutai knew that Wang Lin had made up his mind to leave, so he didn't try to persuade him to stay. Instead, he swore that everyone related to Wang Lin would be safe as long as he, Zhou Wutai, was alive!
Wang Lin looked out the window, then looked away. He slapped his bag of holding, and the immortal sword flew out and floated in front of him.
The moment the immortal sword appeared, a scimitar automatically flew out from the bag of holding and circled around the immortal sword as if it was very happy.
"Master, this fourth brother has been tamed by me and is very obedient. Fourth brother, come greet master!"
Xu Liguo's voice came out from the immortal sword. Then, a black fog came out from the immortal sword and turned into Xu Liguo. At this moment, he looked very proud.
The scimitar trembled and a dark blue fog came out from it. The fog turned into the shape of a boy. This boy's face couldn't be seen clearly. After he appeared, he nodded toward Wang Lin and said, "Greetings!"
Seeing this scimitar, Wang Lin couldn't help but admire Xu Liguo.
Back when he found Xu Liguo in Rosefinch's tomb, he didn't know what method Xu Liguo had used, but he was very happy with the scimitar.
When the scimitar saw that Xu Liguo was about to leave, it immediately followed. This was outside of Wang Lin's expectations.
Up until now, although Wang Lin couldn't control the scimitar and couldn't leave his divine sense on it, if Xu Liguo was in danger, the scimitar would immediately help.
As a result, Xu Liguo's pride increased several times. If it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid of Wang Lin and that his life and death were in Wang Lin's hands, Xu Liguo would have long since rebelled.
Wang Lin knew that he wasn't a match for the scimitar. Once they got entangled, it would be very troublesome. Luckily, for some reason, the scimitar was very attached to Xu Liguo, so he could indirectly control it.
During this year, Wang Lin had studied the scimitar. He wanted to find out whose soul piece on Suzaku was powerful enough to form this scimitar.
However, in the end, there was no progress. After a long time, Wang Lin stopped thinking about it.
"Master, I'm going to take Fourth Brother out for a stroll!"
After Xu Liguo finished speaking, he saw Wang Lin nod. He quickly picked up the celestial sword and flew out the window.
The scimitar followed closely behind him and let out waves of blade hymns.
In the blink of an eye, the sword disappeared into the sky; no one knew where it went.
Wang Lin touched his bag of holding. There were still some things he needed to do before he left. Many of the treasures inside his bag needed to be refined again. After all, this trip to planet Tian Yun was shrouded in fog, so he didn't know what would happen.
While he was thinking, an arrogant voice came from the void and entered Wang Lin's ears.
"Wang Lin, there is progress on the matter you asked me to investigate!
Outside of Chu's Phoenix city, in a village called Mulberry Garden!
In the future, don't bother me with these small matters. I'm too happy being a king right now and don't have time to deal with you.
That's right, when you leave, just let me know and we can leave together! "
Situ Nan's voice was filled with joy and then disappeared.
Wang Lin revealed a smile. After he left Rosefinch's tomb, he met up with Situ Nan. They originally planned on returning to Chu together to take care of some trivial matters before leaving. However, on the way there, Situ Nan saw a mortal palace and immediately became addicted to being a king. No matter what, he didn't want to go to Chu with Wang Lin anymore. Instead, he entered the palace and used some unknown method to be conferred the title of king by the emperor the next day!
From then on, he lived a carefree and happy life, but Situ Nan didn't forget about leaving. He told Wang Lin to find him before leaving.
Wang Lin took a deep breath, stood up, opened the door, and walked out.
The moment he walked out, the woman cultivating in the shade opened her eyes. After seeing Wang Lin, she smiled and said, "Uncle, look at Ru Er's cultivation progress. I'm already at the second layer of Qi Condensation!"
This woman was none other than Zhou Ru!
A year ago, when Wang Lin arrived in Chu, he immediately called out the pagoda and let Zhou Ru and Little White out.
Wang Lin had left quite a bit of food inside the pagoda, enough for Zhou Ru to eat.
After Zhou Ru came out, she begged Wang Lin to teach her Dao cultivation. Wang Lin couldn't beat her, so he gave her the Qi Condensation mnemonic.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Ru had grown from a child into an adult. Wang Lin looked at Zhou Ru and couldn't help but think of Li Muwan.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Zhou Ru stepped forward and looked at Wang Lin with a strange expression.
All of Zhou Ru's memories of Li Muwan had been wiped away by Wang Lin, so she naturally didn't know about Li Muwan. As for Little White, he wouldn't tell Zhou Ru about it either.
Wang Lin tousled Zhou Ru's hair, and a kind look appeared in his eyes. It was a rare look. Although he looked about the same age as Zhou Ru, it was a very natural look.
"Uncle is getting old," Wang Lin said softly. "Looking at you reminds me of an old friend …."
Zhou Ru giggled. Her voice was like a silver bell being blown by the wind. She smiled and said, "Uncle, you're not old at all. Two days ago, a junior brother who had just entered the sect secretly came over and asked me if you were my brother."
Wang Lin smiled slightly. Zhou Ru had been meditating the entire day. How could there be a new Junior Brother? She was clearly trying to comfort him.
"Uncle has been cultivating for close to 600 years. How can I not be old?" Wang Lin sighed softly. There was a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes.
In the past 600 years, he had experienced too much. From an unknown mortal, he had walked step by step to where he was now. At this moment, he had even become someone who could influence the selection of Rosefinch's disciple. Sometimes, when Wang Lin thought about all of this, he felt like he was in a dream.
600 years of cultivation had allowed Wang Lin to see through many things. At the same time, his heart was firm and strong.
"Ru 'er, do you still remember your parents …" Wang Lin looked at Zhou Ru.
Zhou Ru's body trembled, and a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. After a while, she lowered her head and said softly, "I only have a vague impression …"
Wang Lin looked at Zhou Ru with a trace of apology in his eyes. If it weren't for him, Zhou Ru would be by her parents' side right now. She would have a warm childhood, and not like this, with only a tiger as a friend.
"Ru 'er, uncle will bring you home …" Wang Lin said softly. He waved his sleeves, and a magic cloud appeared under his feet. It carried Zhou Ru into the sky and flew into the distance.
Little White immediately turned around and no longer basked in the sun. With a roar, it leaped into the sky and followed behind.
On the magic cloud, Zhou Ru bit her lower lip and said softly, "Uncle, you … you found my parents?"
"I found them. Ru 'er, you saw your parents. From now on, you must be filial. Remember, filial piety is a human's first emotion. If you can't fulfill your filial piety, you can't be called a human!" As Wang Lin said this, the figures of his parents seemed to appear in front of him.
Zhou Ru nodded and looked at Wang Lin. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, didn't you say that you would take me away from Suzaku …"
Wang Lin looked at Zhou Ru and sighed softly.
"Ru 'er, our fate has come to an end …"
"Uncle!!!" Zhou Ru's body trembled, and her beautiful face changed. Her eyes were slightly red, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Don't say anything more!" Wang Lin said in a low voice. The magic cloud under his feet sped up, and he sped into the distance.
Little White roared behind him and leaped into the sky. Its eyes were filled with anger. It thought to itself, "Grandpa Tiger can't run fast, but it's impossible to leave me behind. Grandpa Tiger has to keep up even if I vomit blood!"
'Thank you for everyone's gifts!'
'The New Year is really tiring. There are too many things to do, and my heart is very tired. I went to play mahjong yesterday and lost quite a lot.
