Chapter 2005: The Finale
Feng Ruqing looked at the dead bodies expressionlessly. She looked calm and emotionless.
“We’ve settled with Hui Yan. Are there some accounts that we still have to settle?”
She turned to look at the people of Nine Gate. A powerful wind lifted from her, carrying a destructive aura.
The crowd was greatly stunned, and their faces changed dramatically.
All Nine Gate elders subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at Qiu Hui with that pleading gaze.
They knew that Qiu Hui was close to Feng Ruqing. If Qiu Hui said something, perhaps… Feng Ruqing would put down that grudge.
However, Qiu Hui just coldly snorted, did not even look at them, and turned her head to look at the side.
The people of Nine Gate panicked.
Suddenly, an elder in a grey robe laughed nervously. “Maiden Feng, this is all a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?” Feng Ruqing laughed coldly and walked toward them. “Because of misunderstanding, your Nine Gate has slaughtered so many people in Tianya’s manor, and because of misunderstanding, you have kidnapped my daughter?”
“This…” The elder wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and he did not know what to say for a moment.
His face darkened. “I’ve told her not to hurt anyone. I just want to take our Holy Maiden back to cultivate. It was indeed my fault that day… I have looked down on Maiden Feng, and I thought that Maiden Feng could not help the little girl in cultivation.”
“Whether I can help my daughter cultivate well or not has nothing to do with you. Even if I can’t do it, so what? Is this the reason why you have kidnapped her?” Feng Ruqing said coldly, “If you do something wrong, you must pay the price. After this, Nine Gate will be removed from the mainland!”
If it were not for Qiu Hui’s sake… If it were not because Nine Gate did take care of Xia Xia in these years…
Perhaps, she would have already ended their life easily.
Feng Ruqing also knew that the attack launched in Tianya’s manor back then was indeed those people’s plan, but the people who sent them to kidnap Xia Xia were still from Nine Gate!
Therefore, she could not forgive them for that!
Removing Nine Gate from the mainland was already the best option.
“Grandfather, let’s go home!”
Feng Ruqing turned to look at Tianya and said with a faint smile.
Ten years had pa.s.sed since she came to Land of No Return. She only returned home once and then was locked in that place for so many years. She did not know whether her father and the others were fine or not…
“Alright!”
Compared to Feng Ruqing, Tianya was more interested in going home.
He had been gone for decades.
Mostly after Feng Ruqing disappeared, his energy was all spent on looking for her, and he did not feel like going back to Liu Yun Kingdom.
Now that Feng Ruqing was back, it was time to go home.
Qiu Hui followed behind Feng Ruqing. “Since Nine Gate no longer exists, there is no need for me to stay here. If Maiden Feng does not mind, I will follow you in the future…”
“Alright…”
Feng Ruqing answered smilingly.
Nan Xian raised his hand and held Feng Ruqing’s shoulders gently.
The man had long snow-white hair and a gentle smile, as handsome as an immortal.
Suddenly, a purple light flashed not far away.
Feng Ruqing turned and saw a familiar face appear before her.
The man was still as stunning as before that one could not ignore his beauty.
There was a smile on his lips as his eyes lit up.
“Jiu Ming…” Feng Ruqing smiled faintly. “It’s been a while.”
“Indeed. I’ve come to pick you up and take you home.”
The phrase ‘to pick you up and take you home’ made Nan Xian’s face sink slightly, and he wrapped his arm around Feng Ruqing’s shoulders tightly.
Jiu Ming ignored him as if he did not see Nan Xian; his gaze was fixed upon Feng Ruqing.
“All these years, they have been waiting for you.”
“Well…” Feng Ruqing smiled. “So, I should go home.”
She should not stay in Land of No Return.
She wanted to go back to her Liu Yun Kingdom!
The day Feng Ruqing left with her people, everyone in Wu Shang City came to see her off because they did not know when she would go back.
The young girls of Wu Shang City, each like parting from life and death, cried miserably.
However, everyone understood that Feng Ruqing would not stay. Not only her, but all the people of Tianya’s manor would also leave.
In the end, they watched Feng Ruqing’s figure until it disappeared…

Meanwhile…
Imperial City of Liu Yun Kingdom was as calm as ever.
Everyone was busy with their work.
Until…
Someone shouted happily, and all people on the street stopped in their tracks. Even those who were busy with their work put down the tasks at hand.
“Princess and the others have returned!”
This voice was heard over the entire Imperial City.
Everyone’s eyes moistened as they looked at the two people arriving side by side. Their lips trembled, and they could not make any sound…
The entire Imperial City fell silent, but many people ran around telling each other the news.
The news that Feng Ruqing had returned instantly spread throughout the imperial city.
Suddenly, Feng Ruqing stopped in her tracks. She raised her eyes and gazed at a group of people approaching her swiftly.
The two people at the head of the group were Feng Tianwu, dressed in bright yellow robes, and next to him was the beautiful and gentle Nalan Yan.
Feng Tianwu and his wife, both with eyes filled with excitement, looked at the crowd approaching them.
‘Qing’er and Nan Xian have returned?
‘Father has also returned? After decades, Father seems to have not changed at all…
‘Oh, the little girl standing next to Qing’er should be her daughter, right?
‘In the blink of an eye, my granddaughter has grown so big. I still remember when Qing’er was still in my womb…’
“Father!”
Feng Ruqing smiled brightly, absolutely beautiful. “I’m back… Everything is over.”
She had returned…
Everything had ended.
Feng Tianwu smiled happily. “Let’s go home!”
Since Feng Ruqing left back then, Feng Tianwu had never smiled so brightly.
Until… She came back to him again…
With the return of Feng Ruqing and the others, the dark clouds over Liu Yun Kingdom gradually disappeared, revealing a clear sky.
It seemed that the whole world was welcoming them…
