Old Man Tianji spoke while stroking his beard and looking at a bright star in the sky. “Do you see it? The Phoenix Star reappears and it s.h.i.+nes brighter than before. I am sure that she has resolved her heavenly-defying tribulation by herself.”
“Master, are her grandfather and others really dead?” Mo Chen couldn’t help asking.
“Life and death, death and life, life is death, death is life… go! Go down the mountain…” He walked away and went back, stepping on the snow without a trace, leaving only his faintly discernible voice echoing beneath the stars…
Mo Chen watched his figure go away gradually until he disappeared completely. Then, he retracted his gaze and looked at the dazzling star in the night sky.
A long time after, he walked to his courtyard, getting ready to pack up his things. He would go down the mountain early tomorrow morning.
On the other side, in the Upper Reaches
In the courtyard, Su Xi supported the pale Feng Sanyuan to bask in the sun. After a brief walk, she helped him lie down on the couch in the courtyard.
“Be careful.” Su Xi said and covered him with a thin blanket.
“I wonder how Ye’er is now? Did Feng girl find him? After half a year, are they fine?” Feng Sanyuan said in a slow and dispirited voice.
Six months ago, when he closed his eyes in the midst of the conflagration, he thought he wouldn’t be alive. Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes again, he could still see this world and his wife.
It never crossed his mind that the person who saved them was Murong Yixuan.
“Didn’t Young Master Murong say that now there are upper forces staring at them? Little Jiu should have put them in hiding. No news is good news for us. At least we can know that they are safe.”
Su Xi comforted him with her soft and dulcet voice. Even though she was also worried, she knew that it was useless to fret.
Now they are not in the Eight Supreme Empires nor in the Phoenix Empire but in the Upper Reaches. It’s the part of the continent where not anybody could come whenever one wished.
At that time, the person who saved them from the fire was Murong Yixuan, the Murong royal family’s prince of the former Sun Glory Country.
The person she had only heard of but did not expect to see suddenly appeared and saved them.
Later, she heard that the burned palace was his originally. There was a secret path inside. He only wanted to go in and have a look through the secret road when he went out and pa.s.sed by the Phoenix Empire. Unexpectedly, he saved them by accident.
“Old Patriarch, Madam, Young Master is here.” A maid who was waiting on them in the courtyard came in to report and then retreated.
When they heard the announcement, they glanced at each other. They thought that this time they had to inquire carefully to see if there was any news about Feng Jiu and others recently. After all, the last time Murong Yixuan came over, he also brought the news, but it was not good news.
Although they were in the Upper Reaches, they found out from Murong Yixuan that the Phoenix Empire had been destroyed. It was precisely because they knew the strength of the enemy that they were recuperating here. They had no inclination to rush back. They were afraid that something like this would recur and made them worried. However, even so, they felt that time dragged on like years in this place.
While the couple were deep in thought, Murong Yixuan, dressed in white, walked in slowly…
