After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

But Xu Ze saw it.

“Your dorm leader is still waiting for you,” he said. “And Jin Yu, and many others. They are all waiting for you to come back.”

Li Wenxiu stared at him blankly.

A struggle suddenly welled up in those unfocused eyes.

"I...I seem to remember..." he murmured, "We were roommates..."

“Yes, that’s right,” Xu Ze said. “He’s also your friend.”

Li Wenxiu lowered his head, his hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes.

a long time.

He raised his head and looked at Xu Ze.

A rare clarity appeared in those eyes.

"I'll go with you."

Inside the main hall, Lin Yueyan stood before the star map, quietly gazing at the two closely adjacent stars.

She had been standing like that for a long time.

For ten thousand years, she has stood here every day, looking at those two stars.

One is her, and the other is him.

They were so close, it felt like I could reach out and touch them.

But she knew that there were ten thousand years between them.

It is the distance between life and death.

"Senior brother..."

She murmured softly, her voice trembling slightly without her even realizing it.

"Why did you leave...why did you leave me..."

Just then, a violent tremor came.

The entire hall was shaking.

Lin Yueyan frowned slightly and scanned out with her divine sense.

Then, her expression changed.

Xu Ze was standing in the center of the small courtyard, his spiritual energy surging wildly around him, and cracks were spreading outwards from beneath his feet.

Where the cracks passed, the light of the array began to dim.

Outside, Mu Yan was attacking the great formation with all her might.

They cooperated from within and without.

They are breaking through the enemy lines!

Lin Yueyan's figure flashed, and she instantly appeared above the courtyard.

"stop!"

Her voice was like thunder, shaking the entire courtyard.

Xu Ze raised his head and looked at her.

“Senior,” he said, “I must leave.”

"No!" Lin Yueyan's voice carried emotion for the first time. "You can't leave!"

Xu Ze looked at her.

"why?"

Lin Yueyan remained silent.

a long time.

"Because you're gone... what am I supposed to do?"

Her voice was very soft, very soft.

But within that voice lay ten thousand years of loneliness, ten thousand years of waiting, and ten thousand years of longing.

A complex emotion welled up in Xu Ze's heart.

“Senior,” he said softly, “I understand how you feel. But I am not him.”

"You are!"

“I’m not.” Xu Ze shook his head. “I am Xu Ze. I have my own friends, my own lover, and my own life. I can’t stay here, at least not now.”

Lin Yueyan stared at him blankly.

Those eyes, which had been calm for ten thousand years, finally stirred with emotion.

The waves grew bigger and bigger, until finally...

Turning into tears.

she cried.

Having cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness for ten thousand years, she thought she had long forgotten what tears were.

But now, they've flowed down.

"You..." Her voice trembled, "You left me once... and now you want to leave me a second time..."

Xu Ze looked at her, feeling a pang of pity.

But he couldn't stay.

“Senior,” he said softly, “I’m sorry.”

Lin Yueyan closed her eyes.

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

a long time.

She opened her eyes.

There was no longer any emotion in those eyes.

There was only endless cold.

"roll."

She spoke, her voice eerily calm.

"Get out of my world."

She raised her hand and waved it gently.

An irresistible force surged forth, enveloping Xu Ze and Li Wenxiu.

The next moment, the world spun around.

When Xu Ze came to his senses, he was already standing above Fire Cloud Valley.

Beside him was Mu Yan.

"Xu Ze!" Mu Yan hugged him tightly. "Are you alright?!"

Xu Ze shook his head.

He looked back.

That majestic academy has disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

They disappeared along with the woman who had cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness for ten thousand years.

“She…” Mu Yan looked in that direction, a complicated look flashing in her eyes, “She kicked you out?”

Xu Ze nodded.

Mu Yan remained silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed.

"That silly woman..."

Xu Ze looked at her.

"What exactly is your relationship?"

Mu Yan thought for a moment.

“Sisters,” she said, “though not by blood, they are closer than blood relatives.”

"Then what about you..."

"Why do we start arguing as soon as we meet?" Mu Yan smiled wryly. "Because we both like the same man."

Xu Ze remained silent.

Mu Yan looked at him and suddenly smiled.

“Don’t overthink it,” she said. “That’s all in the past. Now, you’re mine.”

She took his arm and leaned on his shoulder.

"Let's go back."

Xu Ze looked into the distance, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

The woman standing before the star chart, her tearful eyes, and the words, "You left me once, and now you want to leave me a second time..."

That was not her intention.

"Senior brother, you must win this time..."

Lin Yueyan looked towards the distant horizon.

The two transformed into two streaks of light and disappeared into the horizon.

……

The capital of the Immortal Continent in the Central Plains.
