1800 Regret

“We need to make proper arrangements and return to Piaomiao Pavilion. Once we’re back, we can formulate new plans without relying on the Golden Rolls. The door to enchantment has been open for days, and it won’t be long before monsters and witches begin roaming freely,” Qianji declared.

“…”

“As the head of all schools with numerous disciples, witches may come to us before seeking others. We have crucial tasks awaiting us upon our return. Wuxing, ensure that you adjust yourself accordingly, or our plans will face difficulties,” Qianji reminded Wuxing.

...

Wuxing’s demeanor had changed since their failed deal with City Lord. Rather than seeking solutions himself, he had been seeking advice from Qianji.

Qianji was displeased by this change.

He had taken Wuxing out of Piaomiao Pavilion, deviating from his original plan. Yet, he had offered no assistance and had allowed Lingyun to hinder their progress.

Qianji was far from pleased to witness Wuxing’s current behavior.

Wuxing wasn’t particularly delighted to hear the news either.

While they were heading back to Piaomiao Pavilion, Lingyun was accompanying Phoenix Girl to Snow Territory.

Their paths were never going to cross again.

Wuxing knew he needed to have a conversation with Lingyun.

He wasn’t angered by Lingyun’s revenge plan, as he felt he had already settled his debts with her.

But couldn’t they start anew?

What was the point of going through all of this if Lingyun wasn’t present?

In truth…

Qianji had already noticed Wuxing’s absent-mindedness after his speech. It seemed that Wuxing no longer cared about Piaomiao Pavilion or the Golden Rolls.

This irritated Qianji greatly.

How could the senior disciple of Piaomiao Pavilion be so consumed by thoughts of a woman?

“Wuxing, what are you thinking about? I might have to reconsider the tasks I assign to you,” Qianji argued.

Wuxing appeared not to hear him at all.

Qianji let out a heavy sigh.

He walked away with his hands behind his back, giving up on trying to get through to Wuxing.

If Wuxing continued to be like this, Qianji would definitely reconsider entrusting him with any further responsibilities.

Although Wuxing was talented, Piaomiao Pavilion had no shortage of talented individuals.

That’s what Qianji believed.

Unaware of Qianji’s intentions, Wuxing’s thoughts remained fixated on Lingyun who was working for Gu Chaoyan.

Lingyun was living a simple yet happy life alongside Gu Chaoyan. She had learned the art of relaxation, taking time to enjoy moments of tranquility like sipping tea. She no longer burdened herself with excessive work in her room.

Every now and then, Gu Chaoyan would join her for a cup of tea and engage in pleasant conversations.

A few days passed.

According to Ouyang Mingjing’s arrangements, it was time for them to depart for Snow Territory.

Zhou Huaijin had been occupied with matters at Shiling Palace, making him scarcely visible. Gu Chaoyan knew he would return to his room for brief periods of rest, but whenever she was awake, she found it difficult to catch a glimpse of him.

A sense of regret filled her heart.

Their departure for Snow Territory was imminent, and they would likely be separated for a considerable period of time. Gu Chaoyan had hoped to spend some cherished moments together before their departure, but…
