The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 282: Chapter 151: Have You Given Up?

Accompanied by several True Ones, the three of them stepped towards the mountain gate.

However, Chu Xuan seemed somewhat distracted, occasionally glancing around.

Gu Haitang was a bit confused, "What are you looking at?"

Chu Xuan smiled, "Nothing."

Before coming this time, he had thought: Is there a chance to meet that person? Would she come to attend my wedding?

But from beginning to end, he couldn’t see her.

This made Chu Xuan, who had originally hoped for a reunion, have traces of melancholy in his eyes.

The words she said when they parted outside the secret realm still lingered in his ears:

"You once told me, compassion is momentary, favoritism is eternal."

"But to this day, I still don’t know if your feelings for me are compassion or favoritism..."

The memories of that person are ones Chu Xuan recalls more completely than most, even more complete than those of Ji Mingyu, allowing him to deeply understand the complex emotions contained within those words.

As he pondered, Chu Xuan shook his head, you just said you wanted to cherish Haitang, and now you’re thinking of another woman.

Enough, focus on loving one person wholeheartedly, don’t forget the decision you made before.

Moreover, letting her witness his wedding with Haitang would be too cruel for her...

So like this, Chu Xuan stopped overthinking and quietly accompanied Gu Haitang away from the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion.

...

Just as the three flew up on clouds, Chu Xuan suddenly felt a gaze fall upon him.

He couldn’t help but turn around and look back, and he saw a delicate figure shrouded in clouds at the top of the peak.

It was Yun Ni Fairy Pei Shurou, her white dress fluttering in the mountain wind, appearing like a Gushuai Fairy that absorbs the wind and drinks the dew, untouched by grains.

Since returning to the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion, Pei Shurou had been preparing to retreat and break through the seventh realm, but her heart never settled.

In fact, she had vaguely guessed that the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable must have used "Time Travel" on Chu Xuan, which resulted in him being a Daoist Palace disciple now.

Originally, Pei Shurou could easily think of this part because she was once an experimental subject.

But back in the Ruo Wood Secret Realm, her mind was in turmoil, with no effort left for thought or analysis; it was not until she returned to the sect and completely calmed down that she got inspired from her own experience.

In essence, Chu Xuan from six hundred years ago and the current Chu Xuan are the same person, not reincarnated.

Just like the current Pei Shurou is akin to the inexperienced Pei Shurou of then.

She believes that one day, Chu Xuan will recall all his memories.

Judging by his previous behavior, he might have already regained part of them, especially those regarding her.

This made Pei Shurou’s heart even more unsettled, until the news of Gu Haitang and Chu Xuan’s wedding suddenly came, giving her a sharp blow like a club to the back of the head.

She had anticipated such a possibility but hadn’t expected it to arrive so soon.

Since then, Pei Shurou had been waiting, yearning to see Chu Xuan again, even if they would not exchange words, just a distant glance would suffice.

Now, she finally got her wish.

When Chu Xuan looked back, he saw that Pei Shurou’s eyes no longer carried the usual trace of melancholy; her curved black brows had also relaxed.

She flashed him a radiant smile, just like six hundred years ago, then turned and drifted away, disappearing.

Chu Xuan silently withdrew his gaze, guessing what might have happened.

She would either shut herself in retreat and never return, or break through the Life and Death Three Profound Realms, with no third possibility.

Gu Haitang turned back a moment too late and could only see a hem of white disappearing over the mountain’s peak.

Seeing Chu Xuan turn back without saying a word, she faintly guessed something but didn’t ask.

For Gu Haitang, nothing was more important than the upcoming wedding; as long as Chu Xuan was willing to marry her peacefully, she could let bygones be bygones.

...

On the way back, Chu Xuan didn’t show any abnormality, continuing to chat and laugh with Gu Haitang.

Until a few days later, when they returned to Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace, both Chu Xuan and Haitang’s expressions changed!

A young woman wearing a light white narrow-sleeved ruqun paired with a red waist-length skirt was sitting cross-legged outside the mountain gate’s archway, chatting casually with Jiang Yiyi.

Yes, it was Qingqing, and she wasn’t dressed as the Saintess of the Demon Sect but had changed back into the clothes she wore while traveling with Chu Xuan.

A strong sense of crisis surged in Gu Haitang’s heart instantly!

Why is she coming at this moment, dressed like this, looking for Chu Xuan? What is her intention?!

This was why Gu Haitang chose to stay by Chu Xuan’s side before the wedding, despite risking her dignity.

If Chu Xuan had a change of heart because of Qingqing’s few words, and the whole marriage fell through, it would be akin to the sky collapsing for Gu Haitang.

At this moment, Qingqing and the companion noticed Chu Xuan’s return, she immediately stood up and looked anxiously and expectantly in that direction, as if afraid Chu Xuan wouldn’t give her a chance to explain.

In fact, three days ago, Qingqing and her mother had arrived at the Daoist Palace area, Yao Yufei decided not to reveal herself, letting Qingqing approach alone, avoiding increasing the difficulty for her daughter.

Qingqing hadn’t expected her mother’s good intentions, changing her impression of her.

Never did Qingqing anticipate that no one would respond to her knocking for half a day, making her so distressed she almost cried out, fearing that Chu Xuan was deliberately avoiding her.

Fortunately, at that moment, a young disciple came out, saying that Senior Brother had gone far away, telling her to leave and not make noise here.
