Ending Thoughts

Greetings to all the readers.

Unknowingly, this book has been written for eight months now.

The total word count has reached two million.

Walking this path step by step has been no easy feat.

I am truly grateful to all of you for staying by my side throughout this journey.

Reaching the end at two million words is not exactly a rushed conclusion.

Yet, there are always some regrets.

At this moment, I am filled with a thousand emotions.

There are so many things I want to say, yet I do not know how to begin.

I can only thank you all once again for your unwavering support.

I bow to you all in gratitude once more.

Writing this, I find myself tearing up a little.

A story has its peaks and its valleys.

The journey of Su Changkong is, in many ways, a reflection of the trials I have faced myself.

I have broken down and wept several times while writing this.

I wonder if you, the readers, have been moved as well.

Now that it has finally concluded, I hope I have provided you with a satisfying ending.

Thank you all for accompanying me on this journey.

As the saying goes, there is no banquet that does not come to an end.

Su Changkong must now take his leave.

And I, the author, must also take my leave.

The mountains are high and the waters are long; the road of the world is vast and distant.

May we meet again in the world of martial arts another day.

As I write this, my eyes are blurred with tears, and I hardly know what I am saying.

I can only bow once more to all of you who have read this story.

What is love, that it should demand such devotion unto death?

The pair of travelers flying across the vast sky, how many winters and summers have those old wings endured!

The joy of meeting, the bitterness of parting, and the foolish hearts caught in between!

You must have words to say, but amidst the vast clouds and the twilight snow over a thousand mountains, to whom shall your solitary shadow turn?

The mountains are high and the waters are long; the road of the world is vast and distant.

May we meet again in the world of martial arts another day.

With deepest respect, the author!!!
