Chapter 105: Gentleman Going Out
Early the next morning, Li Qingjun woke up from her tenderness and once again devoted herself to the follow-up work after eliminating the West Savage Kingdom.
Destroying a kingdom didnt just mean capturing the capital. There were still many things to do. She couldnt stay with Qin Yi all the time.
Qin Yi sat aside, watching Li Qingjun giving orders in the meeting hall and the generals executing the orders. Qin Yis mind was in a trance.
She used to dream innocently and be carefree.
Now that she has seen the vicissitudes of her family and kingdom.
How can she still smile as innocently as before?
She is no longer the charming and naive princess who dreams of finding immortal. She is the regent of the South Li Kingdom. She has overwhelming power over the south. With a single order, heads fall like rain.
She has grown up.
In fact, Li Qingjun hadnt said everything last night. They were both smart people, so they didnt need to tell everything as long as they understood each other. Saying it clearly would only make them awkward.
Her hidden subtext was to test whether Qin Yi was willing to stay.
Qin Yi thought the world was really humorous.
If he were his former self, even if he didnt want to stay, it would actually be nothing to an otaku. Whats the problem with spending a lifetime here with his lover? Or if he really wanted to go out, he could just wait until the little empress reaches adulthood and leave without any worries.
But given that he had just determined to become stronger not long ago, this incident made him speechless as if fate was deliberately playing him.
A large part of the reason why he wanted to become stronger was to protect Qingjun. Like Venerable Mang Shan, although theoretically he would not interfere with South Li Kingdoms affairs, it was still unreliable to pin their hope on certain peoples thought. What if he went crazy one day? He would be defenseless, so what was the use of staying with Qingjun?
After all, he had to go out to learn and achieve success. Only then could he be able to protect others when he returned.
He also promised Liu Su that he would help Liu Su recover her body. No matter how ungrateful he was, he would never tell Liu Su to wait until the little empress grew up. If he really said this, he would feel being an animal.
No matter how he looked, he had to go. There was no point in being indecisive.
So he didnt say it clearly. Li Qingjun should have understood what he meant. They entangled on bed until they fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Yi quietly left the meeting hall and came to the backyard, where he saw Ming He standing there.
I have completed my training and will return to the sect for retreat. Im here to say goodbye to tao friend. Ming He bowed her head.
Qin Yi also returned the tao courtesy, Then I wish tao friend to make great progress and make this trip worthwhile.
Ming He stared at him for a while and suddenly said, Tao friend also wants to wander around the world, right.
Yes. Qin Yi said without hesitation, I dont know if you can recommend a place where I can get more exposure to cultivation in this world.
Originally, it would be better to join a sect, but since tao friend already has a master Ming He pondered for a moment and replied, In fact, tao friends level has long been different from that of the mortals. Mortals seek immortality opportunity with all their lives, but tao friend just needs to step into the mortal world, then you will find that immortals are everywhere.
Tao friend, that sounds a bit perfunctory Qin Yi said, If I want something more specific, such as getting in touch with some knowledge related to the soul or I want to see the difference between current cultivation methods and ancient times.
The study of soul is a secret of every sect. As for the differences between ancient and current cultivation methods, tao friend may visit the Myriad Tao Immortal Palace.
Myriad Tao Immortal Palace?
En, the so-called myriad tao are all kinds of strange cultivating concepts that only appeared in recent times. They are very different from ancient times. This palace is tens of thousands of miles away from here, but of course, it isnt a problem for tao friend.
Ming He took out a jade slip, closed her eyes, and poured spiritual force into it, I have roughly mark the direction. Tao friend can search for it on your own.
Thank you. Qin Yi took the jade slip and bowed, See you again in the future.
Ming He nodded slightly and drifted away.
Are you really leaving?
Qin Yi turned around and saw Li Qingjun looking at him calmly.
Actually Qin Yi paused, This is similar to ordinary people going on a study tour. When I have achieved something, I will come back to you.
Theoretically, it was almost the same. It was not like he would never come back.
But this was parting.
It was also different from the trip to the Rift Valley. The agreed time for the trip to the Rift Valley would not exceed half a year. But now he would travel thousands of miles away, and things were unpredictable. Who knows if they would see each other again after parting away?
Whats more, the road to immortality was long, but Li Qingjun was just a mortal. Maybe after a hundred years, he would still look young while she would be old.
Li Qingjun smiled and didnt say anything. She just stepped forward to straighten his collar and sighed, To be honest, I put South Li Kingdom above you, and you still want to protect me. I thought about it for a long time Maybe its my problem, I dont love you as much as I thought.
Qin Yi looked at her calmly. This is indeed the essence of this matter.
But how should I put this Im not unhappy or disappointed. On the contrary, I feel extremely calm.
I seem to have anticipated this day a long time ago.
The words he once asked Liu Su surfaced in his mind, I dont seem to have the feeling of wanting to stick to Qingjun all the time. Arent man and woman in love supposed to miss each other all the time?
I was puzzled at the time, and Liu Su couldnt answer this kind of question.
But now that I think about it, it turns out to be that simple I dont love her as much as I thought.
We were young and were attracted to each other because of each others strengths, then we came together by chance, but it was not so unforgettable. So when we woke up from the dream, we are still calm.
Go, dont worry about me. Li Qingjun whispered, Maybe one day, I will also embark on the path to immortality, then I will look for you. If you have other lovers on the path to immortality
She paused and smiled brightly, Then Ill let it go. Maybe she(s) is more suitable for you than me.
Qin Yi did not answer. He just whispered, I know. You want to travel around the world, be a chivalrous woman, kill beastkins, and slay demons. Since you cant leave, I will do this for you.
Li Qingjun smiled, How lucky I am to have a husband who knows me.
The snow was as light as catkins with layers upon layers, blocking peoples sight. The girl leaned against the door and looked out. In the snow, a young man in a green shirt who had only a stick was striding away.
The girl looked for a long time, then she turned around, entered the door, and gave an order calmly, Pass down my order, the state preceptor of South Li Kingdom will be vacant from now on. Taoism and witchcraft can be practiced as odd arts, which are equal to martial arts. Ignorance. Those who confuse the public with immortality will be punished.
In the wind and snow, Liu Su was saying to Qin Yi, You have experienced the mortal world, and now you go out.
Is this called breaking free from the shackles?
Yes. Its about abandoning emotions, but going deep and becoming detached. Retreating into the mountain to cultivate is the way of immortality. What you used to do is just called being a nerd who stays in the house all day.
But I havent forgotten Qingjun. We havent even broken up. I still hope to come back one day.
It doesnt matter. Are you still the same as you were when you were in love?
I always feel that in this sense, the day I have nothing, I will become an immortal
The sky is high and the sea is boundless. The sun and moon are in front of you, and everything is under your feet. What does it mean to have nothing?
Right, at least I still have a mace thats really good at mocking.
If you knew how much I hid from you, you wouldnt necessarily say this again.
Who cares? If I care about everything so much, how tiring is that?
Heh
The young man laughed and disappeared into the snowy sky in an instant.
The gentleman should take action. If one competes to be the first in everything, he will lose his direction. Only by following the moral exemplars and going with the flow can one act properly. In the southwest, he finds friends and associates; in the northeast, he loses them, but it is ultimately auspicious. Staying on the Right Path will bring auspicious because it aligns with the boundless and yielding virtues of the earth (from Chapter 26).
