Chapter 1539: Chapter 173: Reconciliation
Xuan Yue furrowed her brow and said, "Actually, I think Aunt Luo Shui’s words can be trusted. After all, a person speaks kindly at the end of their life, I believe she wouldn’t deceive us. Death Mountain Range! We twice intended to venture there, but neither time came to fruition. It seems this time we finally have the chance, and no one can stop us."
Di Ya nodded and said, "This afternoon, representatives from various forces have been elected, mostly they are young people. Except for the Empire of Sunset City, everyone has unanimously chosen Ah Dai as the leader of this expedition. His strength has gained everyone’s approval. As soon as he recovers, he will probably set off. He represents the Tian Gang Sword Sect and the entire Empire of Huasheng. The Church has chosen you as a representative; apart from the Pope, you Red Robe Priests are the strongest in the Church. Now you can rightfully be together with your Ah Dai. The Federation has chosen the Yan Shi brothers from the Pu Yan Tribe and the Elf Envoy Zhuo Yun from the Elf Clan; I heard they are your and Ah Dai’s friends. As for the Empire of Tian Jing, it seems they’ve chosen Kino, the Magus from the Tian Jing Mage Guild. I didn’t expect him to represent a faction; back in our Yajin Tribe, I thought he was just a clueless kid. The Mage Guild of the continent has also sent the one who was with you last time, Olivia. The great elder was right; the forces hidden behind you are formidable! Luckily, none of you were hurt last time."
Xuan Yue felt a surge of indescribable emotion. Ah Dai, Yan Shi brothers, Zhuo Yun, Kino, Olivia - all of them had at least twice prepared to go to the Death Mountain Range, only to end in failure. It seems that her long-held wish is about to be realized. Now, she just doesn’t know how Ah Dai will treat her.
Di Ya said somewhat regretfully, "I really wish I could explore with you guys, but my skills are too weak, and the Yajin Tribe needs me to manage it. Well, I must leave now."
Xuan Yue said, "I really hope this time we can find the true headquarters of the Dark Forces and completely destroy them. Since returning to the Church, I’ve had an ominous feeling, as if the Dark Forces are much stronger than we imagined. Di Ya sister, let me see you out." The two beautiful girls left Xuan Yue’s room. After saying goodbye to the Xuan Ye couple, Di Ya reluctantly bid farewell to Xuan Yue before leaving.
Slowly opening his eyes, Ah Dai moved his body a bit. Though not fully recovered, his internal meridians were largely cleared, and his power had recovered about sixty percent. He felt that ever since reaching his master’s realm, his recovery ability had improved greatly. Injuries that used to be severe now healed so quickly. Just then, Ah Dai suddenly heard Yan Shi’s deliberately lowered voice outside the room, "Yue Yue, have you rested enough? You still don’t look very well; you should take care to rest! Otherwise Ah Dai will feel heartache."
Xuan Yue shyly said, "Big brother, stop teasing me. Has he, has he woken up?"
Yan Shi said, "He’s awake, but he’s busy channeling energy for healing. You better not disturb him."
Xuan Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Big brother, I just want to take a look at him without making a sound. You are tired; I can handle it here."
Yan Shi laughed, "No worries, your big brother is in good health. I’m not tired."
Zhuo Yun smiled and said, "Let’s go. Yue Yue wants to have a word with Ah Dai. We shouldn’t be the third wheels here!"
Yan Shi suddenly realized, "Ah, I see. Alright, alright, let’s leave then. Yue Yue, once Ah Dai awakes from his cultivation, you can have a good talk. Everything stems from misunderstandings; be forgiving and forgive him. Ah Dai has endured so many hardships; as a big brother, I can’t stand seeing him suffer anymore."
Xuan Yue remained silent, not answering. As she sighed softly, the sound of Yan Shi and Zhuo Yun leaving filled the space. Listening to all this, Ah Dai’s heart trembled slightly; Yue Yue was here. How should he face her? The soft sound of the door opening reached his ears. Ah Dai quickly shut his eyes, maintaining his cultivation posture, not daring to move, his heartbeat accelerating involuntarily.
There was no sound of footsteps, only a fragrant scent like orchids wafted into Ah Dai’s nose, a scent so familiar! Ah Dai’s heart warmed, his body slightly trembled.
"You’re awake." Xuan Yue said softly, although Ah Dai’s eyes were shut, she still sensed his mental fluctuation and felt his current state.
Ah Dai knew he couldn’t hide any longer, slowly opening his eyes. Seeing Xuan Yue’s slightly pale, delicate face, a twinge of pain struck his heart, "Yue Yue, you, you came. I just awoke from cultivation."
Xuan Yue lowered her head and asked, "How are you, is the injury better?"
"Yes, much better. Yue Yue, I..." Before seeing Xuan Yue, he had many things he wanted to say to her, but now facing her, he couldn’t utter a word.
Xuan Yue adjusted his blanket and said blandly, "You just started to recover; don’t let your emotions fluctuate too much. Don’t say anything now; wait until you’re better. Do you want to eat something? I can get it for you." Ah Dai couldn’t speak; her feelings were equally complex. Facing her beloved, she too fell silent.
