Seeing You Off

Just as Su Yi had expected, torrential rain poured from the heavens as he made his way toward Star Plucking Mountain.

The curtain of rain fell like a waterfall, roaring without end.

The world was instantly shrouded in layers of rain and mist.

Naturally, such rain could not affect cultivators.

Su Yi clasped his hands behind his back. Whenever rain fell upon him, it silently slid away, never wetting his robes or long hair.

He was dressed especially neatly today, clad in a blue robe, his long hair gathered into a loose Daoist bun with a Wooden Hairpin. Clean and tidy.

Perhaps because his aura was too indifferent, coupled with his exceedingly youthful appearance, he was scarcely recognized as he walked among the crowd beneath the rain.

All along the way, the downpour beat upon heaven and earth like dense drumbeats, yet it could not drown out the cultivators' discussions.

Most of those voices were discussing today's battle, making the atmosphere noisy and lively.

Some argued over the outcome of today's battle.

Some analyzed the impact today's battle would have on the state of the world.

Some commented on Su Yi's legendary feats of the past.

Some...

But to Su Yi, the substance of those discussions was utterly unremarkable.

The liveliness, in the end, belonged to others.

In Su Yi's eyes, he had come today for no more than to settle an old grudge and clear away some trouble.

"Brother Su."

A somewhat nervous voice rang out from afar through the rain.

Su Yi lifted his eyes and saw Gu Cangning.

By all accounts, Gu Cangning was the first ancient prodigy Su Yi had encountered. Their relationship could not be called good, but neither was it bad.

When he noticed Su Yi's gaze, Gu Cangning opened his mouth to speak.
