Did he just ask me to go on a date with him?

Su Yun Lan was stunned. She never thought that this would be the first thing he would say to her. She managed to collect herself and smiled.

He is still the same old “Xiao Yan.” What an eccentric guy. He always says things that are hard to understand. But once you understand what he is saying, it’s hard not to blush.

“We can just have a chat here, don’t you agree? No one will disturb us.”

“Alright,” Su Yun Lan said with a smile. “It is strange though. I thought you would have preferred to take me somewhere special to have a date.”

Whenever Xu Que tried to flirt with girls using catch phrases that were popular among teenagers on the earth, they usually got confused. He was not too upset by this, though. Xu Que laughed and shook his head.

Su Yun Lan was happy to hear his laughter again. She looked at him and started to laugh too.

She then told him how much hardship she had gone through to build up the Great Change Sect during the past year.

“During the past year, I have done nothing but save the world,” Xu Que replied. “I started at the Gold Nation and my good deeds took off from there. For example, I saved the Water Nation as well.”

He is probably joking. Surely he brought some troubles to the people, both in the Gold Nation and in the Water Nation, Su Yun Lan thought.

They chatted for a long while. They talked about various things such as their experiences over the past year, the first time they met each other, and the time when Xu Que made the God Powered Cannon.

Soon, it became very late. Most of the disciples and presbyters had already gone to sleep. The entire assembly hall was quiet and clear.

Xu Que and Su Yun Lan were enjoying their conversation very much. After all, the main reason that Xu Que came back was to have a good chat with his old friends. But soon, he would have to say goodbye. After all, he was planning on leaving the Five Nations to go abroad. He had no idea when he would come back.

He knew that the world on the other side of the sea was bigger and more wonderful. There, he could act tough like never before. Since acting tough was a lifelong career for him, he couldn’t wait to get there. His plan was to stay abroad for ten years at least and just over a hundred years at most.

Su Yun Lan was a smart girl and had already guessed that Xu Que would probably leave soon. Realizing that is was quite late, she sighed.

“Where are you going to go now?” she asked.

She knew a powerful man like Xu Que would never be satisfied with staying in the Five Nations. She also knew that no one could stop him from leaving.

Even so, she wanted to take this opportunity to bid him goodbye and send him her best wishes.

A year ago, Xu Que left her without saying goodbye. He had only left a short letter on the table. After his sudden departure, she would often go to the yard where Xu Que used to live and just sit there, missing him. Sometimes, she could no longer suppress her sadness and cried. One day, one of the disciples happened to catch her crying and had informed the other disciples.

The news quickly spread among the Great Change Sect. People began to think she had been crying every day. They thought that her tears even dampened the floor. Every time Su Yun Lan heard this, she always laughed, but she never tried to explain.

Over the years, she had met many handsome and talented young men, but Xu Que was the man that had impressed her most. He was a man who could always bring her miracles and surprises.

Knowing Xu Que would leave soon, her feelings grew increasingly sorrowful and complex.

“I will go to the South Continent first, then the East Continent,” Xu Que said calmly. “I don’t know if I will go back to the Five Nations or not. Wait! Why don’t you come with me? The Great Change Sect is functioning just fine now. You can leave and come with me. You will gain quite a lot of experiences if you do.”

On one hand, Xu Que wanted Su Yun Lan to get stronger and more experienced. In his opinion, she had been overworking herself trying to manage the Great Change Sect all on her own. It was time for her to take a break. On the other hand, he admired her capability and wisdom that she used in order to manage the Great Change Sect. After all, she had managed to turn the Sect into an extremely influential Faction in just a year.

Xu Que had always wanted to officially establish the Exploding Heavens Faction. He needed her help to do this. Besides, traveling with a beauty was never a bad thing.

However, Su Yun Lan refused.

“I have told you before that after my grandpa built the Great Change Sect, he vanished along with my father. I have not heard anything from or about them, even after all these years, but I believe they are still alive. I have to protect the Great Change Sect and keep it working until the day they come back,” Su Yun Lan smiled. “As soon as they come back, I will go and find you.”

“Great!” Xu Que said, nodding his head with a smile.

Since Su Yun Lan had already made up her mind, Xu Que knew it would do no good to try to force her into coming with him.

I knew it! Both Korean Dramas and fairytales are nonsense. Flirting with a girl isn’t enough to convince a girl to stay with me wherever I go.

“I plan to stay in the Great Change Sect for a couple of days,” Xu Que said. “I can help you to set up a more powerful magic array. I also have a big present for you.”

He had become extremely rich since he has left the Great Change Sect a year ago. His Acting Tough Points had reached 60,000 and he had gathered as many Spirit Stones as there were stars in the sky.

Xu Que summoned the System Store and bought a medium-class magic array using 3,000 Acting Tough Points. This magic array was far more powerful than the low-class Divinatory Thousand Swords Spell that was only worth 200 Acting Tough Points. Even a man in the top level of the Infant Transformation Stage or the Form Synthesis Stage could not break this medium-class magic array.

He took out a magic array plate and handed it to her.

“Keep it safe,” Xu Que said.

He then took out ten Storage Rings.

“There are a hundred million low quality Spirit Stones inside these rings. Keep them.”

“What?!” Su Yun Lan was shocked.

She did not know too much about the magic array, so she was not surprised about the array being medium-class. However, when she heard the number “a hundred million,” she was totally stunned.

For a small faction such as the Great Change Sect, or even the Celestial Sect, a hundred million low quality Spirit Stones was indeed a large sum of money.

“We are very close. Don’t feel like you have to owe me something. I have hundreds of billions of Spirit Stones. Just think of this money as my pocket change. If you need more, you can send one of your disciples to the Wanda Plaza of the Exploding Heavens Faction,” Xu Que said calmly.

For him, a hundred million Spirit Stones was not a big deal. After all, he had always been very generous to the people he cared about.

Still, Su Yun Lan could not believe her ears.

A hundred million Spirit Stones?! This is impossible!

“No, I can not take it. You will need them when you are abroad.”

She refused to accept the money, but she kept the magic array plate.

Xu Que did not say anything, However, he secretly sent his Thunder Illusion Body to the Great Change Sect’s storage house to deposit two hundred million Spirit Stones. Xu Que then stood up with satisfaction.

“Good. We should call it a day. I am going to go back to the yard where I used to live to enjoy the night sky there.”

“Xu Que! Wait!” Su Yun Lan cried.

“What?” Xu Que said, turning around in surprise.

Su Yun Lan threw herself into his arms. She raised up her head and gently said:

“Xu Que, I want you tonight!”
