Li Hao's Departure (7K)

"Ying Xiaoxiao!"

Li Hao tensed up, his eyes fixed on the palace gate, feeling the familiar Aura growing stronger and stronger until it seemed to rise like the Mingyue, emanating from the Palace Hall without any obstruction.

Immortal Power gathered all around, vast and boundless, like seawater suddenly condensing from nothingness, pouring in and enveloping the entire Palace Hall.

This astonishing scene was witnessed not only by Li Hao, but also by Nanny Wu and the other maids in the courtyard, who all stared in shock at the sight.

"Miss has broken through?"

"This... this momentum is so immense, it's not even enough to break through a cultivation realm, is it?"

The maids, who were only at the True Immortal Realm, felt difficulty breathing and unsteady on their feet under the immense and terrifying pressure of this immortal Immortal Power.

Outside the courtyard, a powerful member of the Immortal King Realm Su Clan guards, who had been hiding in the Void, also emerged from the Void, his eyes solemn.

While the other members of the Su Clan were not secretly protected by the Immortal King Realm, Su Muqing, Su Wanqing, and the other Four Little Phoenixes were all secretly looked after by the Immortal King Realm from the Su Clan to prevent them from being ambushed by Demon or other accidents.

At this moment, the eyes of this Immortal King Realm expert pierced through the condensed pressure of Immortal Power, shining like the sun, and looked directly into the depths of the Palace Hall.

But within that space, an ancient and supreme power blocked the way, like a constantly surging tide of time, enveloping the cultivation room and making it impossible to see through.

However, although this Immortal King Realm expert couldn't see what was happening inside, he could sense that there was an Aura other than the young lady's inside. That Aura was daunting and terrifying, and even as Immortal King, he felt a slight tremor in his heart.

What is that?

"Such a powerful Aura!"

Besides the Immortal's Abode Courtyard, the Su Clan members in other nearby courtyards also saw the enormous pillar of light shooting into the sky, which enveloped the Immortal's Abode Courtyard.

"The Immortal's Abode Courtyard? Could it be that Muqing has broken through?"

In Outer Institute, Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue, who were cultivating, were startled and stepped out of the Palace Hall to look around. When they realized that it was the Immortal's Abode Courtyard, they immediately flew over and arrived at the Immortal's Abode Courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Besides them, other Clan Elder, senior members, and exceptionally talented disciples of the Su Clan also rushed over.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of figures gathered outside the courtyard.

Among them, Su Zhenyuan, the Family Head, also arrived, with Su Qingmei beside him.

"That is..."

As Quasi-Emperor Realm expert with one foot in the Emperor Lord realm, Su Zhenyuan could see the situation amidst the numerous obstacles at a glance. When he saw the terrifying Primordial Spirit floating out of his daughter's body, his eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat shocked, but then a strong sense of unease followed.

Although the face of that Primordial Spirit was the same as his daughter's, as a father, he knew that it was definitely not his daughter.

Just as he was about to make a move to suppress and question the person, a calm voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"That's fate for the Su Clan; don't disturb it."

Su Zhenyuan was stunned; it was the voice of the progenitor, Su Jiuzhe.

"Husband, this..." Although Su Qingmei was at the Immortal King Realm, her cultivation was not as high as Su Zhenyuan's. She could only vaguely see the changes in the palace and felt uneasy.

Su Zhenyuan didn't speak, but suddenly thought of something and his gaze fell on the courtyard.

The boy who usually sat outside the hall stood up. His usually calm face, which had never lost its color even in the previous battle against the Demon, now looked extremely tense, and his whole body was taut, like a taut rubber band.

Su Zhenyuan was stunned. What was that boy so nervous about?

He could sense that Li Hao didn't Aura fear, but rather a different kind of tension—the tension of fearing loss.

Amidst the intense attention of the crowd, suddenly, a beam of Seven-Colored Iridescence, pierced through the Palace Hall and flew out.

This was a Primordial Spirit, draped in Teal-Blue Garment, with flowing black hair like a waterfall. A terrifying Aura of the Time Origin surrounded it. Most shockingly, on its forehead was a bright red dot of ink, extremely conspicuous, radiating waves of condensed Primordial Spirit Aura.

They had sensed this Aura before when Li Hao condensed the True God's Blood.

The Primordial Spirit before me has actually condensed True God Blood!

As everyone was stunned, the radiant young girl's Primordial Spirit, her face filled with excitement, had tears streaming down her cheeks like pearls, glistening like bubbles.

She suddenly rushed out and pounced on the boy in the courtyard.

At the same moment, the boy in the courtyard flew out at the fastest speed he had ever seen, and the two met in mid-air and embraced tightly.

Since parting ways in the Southern Region, and traversing countless territories, we have reunited in this distant Northern Region.

I saw you again...

Shi Miao, or rather Ying Xiaoxiao, threw herself into Li Hao's Li Hao, burying her head tightly in his shoulder, making no attempt to hide her feelings.

Previously in the Southern Region, surrounded by enemies, she only had time to rush to the battlefield and did not have a proper reunion with Li Hao, nor did she have a proper farewell in the end.

"Me too."

Li Hao was excited. He lowered his head, his hand Pause in mid-air, and then he tightly embraced the other person's back, holding him in his arms.

Seeing this scene, the Su Clan members in the air outside the courtyard were all stunned.

Without a doubt, this Primordial Spirit girl, whose face is exactly the same as Su Muqing's, knows Li Hao.

But the Aura from her was definitely not that of Su Muqing; it belonged to someone else entirely.

Su Zhenyuan was also stunned, and his wife Su Qingmei was also frozen in place.

But they were experienced and knowledgeable, and their many thoughts quickly coalesced into a line amidst the chaos, and they soon guessed what was going on.

"You've suffered so much these past years."

Ying Xiaoxiao spoke softly, suppressing her sobs, and gently said to Li Hao.

Li Hao shook his head slightly and said softly, "It's all worth it as long as I wait for you."

Ying Xiaoxiao looked up, and the two embraced and looked at each other. Although they hadn't spent much time together before, Li Hao could see in her eyes an emotion that seemed to have accumulated over countless Years.

Previously in the Southern Region, Li Hao hadn't had a chance to say much, but now, he asked:

"Are you Ying Xiaoxiao or Shi Miao now?"

Ying Xiaoxiao stared intently at Li Hao, as if she couldn't get enough of him. Hearing his question, she smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Recalling their Mortal World, Li Hao slowly said, "Your heart belongs to Shi Miao. As for Ying Xiaoxiao, although I did have some interactions with her, they weren't many, nor were they enough to warrant her risking her life for me."

Ying Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and said, "That's because my True Form's memories haven't awakened yet; I can only subtly draw them closer..."

She gazed intently at Li Hao and said, "I am now Shi Miao. You may have never seen me before, but I have been with you for a very, very long time..."

"Shi Miao..."

Li Hao watched her silently. The tenderness in the girl's eyes was extremely pure and sincere, and Li Hao had no doubts.

He suddenly found it somewhat amusing; they had never met before, yet it felt as if they shared a deep bond spanning millennia.

So, is it in the Future, across the River of Time?

Li Hao asked.

Shi Miao nodded slightly, her brows furrowing slightly as if she were thinking of a certain Years in the Future. She then shook her head slightly and said to Li Hao:

"I have bowed before the Heavenly Venerable for ten thousand years, and the path he guided me on has allowed me to meet you again. I will cherish it and will never... never waste it like she did."

She gently grasped Li Hao's hand, her eyes as bright and beautiful as tempered Liuli.

Li Hao recalled Su Jiuzhe's earlier words: Su Jiuzhe had kowtowed before the Heavenly Venerable to obtain this guidance, all for the sake of meeting him.

He didn't know what the Future held, but at this moment, he knew he couldn't let the other person down.

Where is she?

Suddenly, Li Hao thought of Su Muqing and couldn't help but ask her.

At this Shi Miao was only Primordial Spirit, without a physical body.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Shi Miao, recalling the many memories she had received from Su Muqing, felt a pang of tenderness in her eyes and said:

"You've suffered all these years. She's alright, she's in a coma inside. As her vessel, I'll leave her with a fortuitous opportunity, as a way of thanking you for allowing me to meet you again."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao was somewhat surprised and said:

"Isn't it to replace her body?"

Shi Miao shook her head slightly and said, "She is different from Ying Xiaoxiao. She was my Reincarnated Body, while she was just a second vessel. In the same Time and Space, it is impossible to leave two Reincarnated Body. When I Descent, I could only choose between her and Ying Xiaoxiao."

She gazed intently at Li Hao, "She is from the Su Clan of the Northern Region. If you choose her, you cannot be with me, and we will miss each other again until the Future. But if you choose Ying Xiaoxiao... I can accompany you, I can accompany you all the way!"

Li Hao was stunned. Reincarnated Body, vessel? Although he couldn't quite understand Shi Miao's words, he seemed to understand them as well.

The other party's choice was no different from his more than ten years of companionship in this Northern Region.

If I draw my sword to pursue cultivation, I will be unable to stay with you.

I lay down my sword to stay by your side, yet I cannot protect you.

Both of them made the same choice, and their mutual efforts led to this meeting.

Understanding all this, Li Hao also understood the depth of the girl's feelings for him. Aside from her life-risking companionship in the Southern Region, if she were to choose to Descent into Su Muqing in the Su Clan of the Northern Region, with the Su Clan's resources to help and protect her, she would have already soared to an extremely high level in this life, far beyond what she is now!

However, if one pursues that highest realm in this life, their life trajectories will inevitably diverge, and they will meet very late.

Just for the sake of companionship, he gave up the pinnacle and waited silently at the foot of the mountain...

Li Hao didn't say anything more, nor did he ask anything more; he simply held the other person's slender hand tightly.

Shi Miao saw Li Hao's eyes, she knew that the young man understood her feelings. Her eyes were slightly moist. Perhaps this was the reason she had been waiting. Many words did not need to be spoken, and many explanations did not need to be made. Her feelings were not trampled on, but cherished and held up by the other party.

"Cough!"

A soft cough suddenly interrupted the two.

Su Jiuzhe's voice echoed in their minds, saying, "Aren't you ashamed? I'm ashamed for you. Come here."

After saying that, Su Jiuzhe instructed Su Zhenyuan via telepathy to keep the news secret and not to make it public.

Su Zhenyuan and the others also came to their senses. At this moment, they were all shocked and astonished. They could see clearly that Li Hao had come to the Su Clan not for Su Muqing, but for the woman in front of them.

"So, he wasn't really looking at Sister Muqing all along..."

Su Wanqing stared blankly, only then realizing that the young man had never come to the Su Clan for Su Muqing, but for the woman who looked exactly like Su Muqing.

That's the person they truly love.

Su Wanxue suddenly realized what was going on, and her expression became complicated. She hadn't expected there to be such a cause and effect.

A Qing Feng arose, Su Jiuzhe used his power to teleport Li Hao and Shi Miao directly to Peach Blossom Mountain in their Ancestral Land.

Immortal's Abode Courtyard, the departure of Li Hao and Shi Miao brought everyone back to their senses, and they immediately began to discuss among themselves, all greatly shocked.

"Who is that woman? She looks exactly like Muqing."

"What does she mean by 'vessel'? Reincarnated Body? Could it be that Haotian previously mistook Su Muqing for that woman's Reincarnated Body?"

"Could that woman have been hiding inside Muqing's body all along? If she's Awakening now, where is Muqing?"

Many people still don't fully understand the Bai Yuan, and they just stare at each other blankly.

Su Zhenyuan received Su Jiuzhe's telepathic message and, combined with the conversation between Li Hao and Shi Miao, understood the reason. After a moment of stunned silence, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, waved to drive away the others, and then his figure flashed as he arrived in Su Muqing's palace.

Su Muqing was lying in her cultivation room, her stunningly beautiful face serene, as if she were sleeping peacefully.

Su Zhenyuan carefully examined his daughter and found that she was not injured or had any other changes. On the contrary, her cultivation level had actually increased from the Immortal Lord Realm Seventh Layer Ninth Level of Immortal Lord Realm!

He skipped directly to the Eighth Level of Immortal Lord Realm, advancing by leapfrog!

It should be noted that Su Muqing had just broken through to the Immortal Lord Realm Seventh Layer not long ago.

Given the opponent's cultivation speed and the Su Clan's resources, even with a steady and solid foundation in cultivation, it would still take at least a hundred years to reach the Ninth Level of Immortal Lord Realm. This is already the fastest possible speed!

But now, it directly shortens Soul Lifespan by a hundred years.

Although a hundred years is insignificant to an old man at the Immortal Lord Realm, it makes a huge difference to Heavenly Prodigy.

"Shi Miao... that name sounds familiar."

Su Zhenyuan muttered to himself.

Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe ago, this name resounded throughout the True Realm, extremely dazzling. But ten thousand years have Past after all. Given the vast population of the True Realm, there are countless people with the same name. He didn't immediately connect it to something so distant.

Besides, he wasn't even born Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe. His grandfather was in charge of the Su Clan then. He only inherited the Su Clan later and learned about many things from Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe by looking through the Records. But his understanding was far less profound than that of those who personally experienced those events.

"Is Muqing alright?"

At this moment, Su Qingmei also arrived at the cultivation room, her mature yet playful face filled with worry.

Su Zhenyuan glanced back at her and shook his head slightly, "It's alright, in fact, my cultivation level has improved. I just don't know if there are any other effects."

They were all unaware that their daughter was actually someone's vessel, and that Shi Miao must have been a top-tier expert, at least Quasi-Emperor Realm, to possess such abilities, something even Su Zhenyuan couldn't discern.

"It's good that you're alright."

Su Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, she understood what had happened. Thinking back to the young man's experiences when he first came to the Su Clan, she had initially thought that he was attracted to Su Muqing because of her beauty and insisted on choosing the most beautiful woman. But now she realized that this was the real reason.

"That person's Primordial Spirit has departed, so what about their Betrothal...?"

Su Qingmei looked at Su Zhenyuan with a hesitant expression.

Now, she no longer rejects Li Hao. His Heavenly Talent even surpasses that of Lin Zhixuan, and he is willing to risk his life for his daughter. As a mother herself, she naturally leans towards Li Hao.

Su Zhenyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly shook his head, saying:

"Over the years, Muqing has loathed him in every way, and he has been able to endure it only because of that woman. Now that the woman's Primordial Spirit has departed, Haotian will probably not agree to this matter anymore..."

Su Qingmei was stunned, her expression changed slightly, and for a moment, a hundred emotions were swirling in her heart.

On Peach Blossom Mountain, the Su Clan Ancestral Land.

Su Jiuzhe gestured for Li Hao to sit down with Shi Miao next to him.

"It's been a long time. How much of the True Form Primordial Spirit Body retain?"

Su Jiuzhe, still lounging with his elbows on the wooden table, casually glanced at the table and asked.

Shi Miao gazed at him intently before slowly saying, "Some memories are sealed away. My current Primordial Spirit Body cannot bear them, nor is it necessary for me to bear them. In this life, I only want to stay by his side and accompany him."

Su Jiuzhe glanced at Li Hao and said, "I heard you are the only person who has broken through the Tenth Layer of the Time Origin and can go to the end of the River of Time. What exactly is at the end of that river?"

Shi Miao smiled slightly and said, "Then you will see it on that day."

"Was I still alive then?"

Su Jiuzhe scoffed.

Shi Miao glanced at his body quietly, as if she could see the decay beneath his translucent skin, and said calmly:

"They're all there."

"Are they all there?"

Su Jiuzhe looked at her in surprise.

Shi Miao ignored him and turned to look at Li Hao, her eyes Wenrou even more than before, which puzzled Li Hao. She smiled and then spoke to Su Jiuzhe again:

"Thank you for your care over the years. I used that child as my cradle, and she inherited my Chaos power—consider it a gift. Now I must go find my body; please see us off."

"You were prepared all along?"

Su Jiuzhe raised an eyebrow, but then realized she had asked a pointless question, as the other party must have already made all the arrangements.

"That kid was making a big splash outside before, defeating Demon. Now, that 'Dog Great Emperor' among the Demon might still be lurking outside, preparing to ambush you. You'd better be careful."

Su Jiuzhe said.

Shi Miao said, "That's why we need your help to take us."

Su Jiuzhe's lips twitched. Chatting with women was indeed unpleasant; chatting with this silly boy was much more enjoyable.

Where shall I take you?

Su Jiuzhe asked, "Should we bring you back?"

"No need. Once I retrieve the body, we'll go directly to the Original True World," Shi Miao said.

"Fine, I'll pretend I was talking nonsense..." Su Jiuzhe snorted, tilted her head back and took a big gulp of wine, then said coldly, "Location."

"Yellow Springs Broken Valley."

Shi Miao said.

Su Jiuzhe's eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but take a deep look at Shi Miao. "To bury a body there, it must be an extremely terrifying body, specially refined for slaying Ancient Demon in this life?"

Shi Miao smiled, revealing her white teeth, as if to say, "You're right."

Su Jiuzhe fell silent for a moment. Only after experiencing the battle Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe could he understand how worthy of hatred the Ancient Demon were.

He and Shi Miao were, in a sense, comrades-in-arms from the same era.

The only difference is that they fought in different territories; Shi Miao fought in the Southern Region, while he fought in the Northern Region.

"Alright, then I'll give you a ride."

Su Jiuzhe nodded, then put down the wine pot and, unusually, stood up.

He stood up, his long, gray-white hair cascading down his shoulders like a waterfall. He made a fist, and an ancient, mud-covered sword emerged from the Void and landed in his palm.

Spring Severing Emperor Sword!

The sword's blade was ancient and pale, resembling decaying bones.

"Young man, your pastries are quite good."

Holding the Spring Severing Emperor Sword, Su Jiuzhe suddenly spoke.

Li Hao was stunned, then immediately said seriously, "I will ask you for help again after I return from the Original True World."

"Good!"

Su Jiuzhe laughed, his voice booming with energy, as the Spring Severing Emperor Sword cleaved through the sky.

A deep rift, seemingly approaching the Original True World, suddenly appeared above the Su Clan Ancestral Land.

A desolate, deathly Aura of death, immediately wafted out from the crack.

"Walk."

Shi Miao's Primordial Spirit stretched out her soft, boneless hand and took Li Hao's hand in hers. Her eyes, as she turned her head, held a hint of playfulness in addition to Wenrou.

I'll take you to the Yellow Springs.

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Let's go!"

A powerful Time Power enveloped the two of them. Shi Miao pulled Li Hao and flew into the deep space rift. As they approached, they waved goodbye to their old friend Su Jiuzhe.

Su Jiuzhe, holding the Spring Severing Emperor Sword, silently watched the two leave. Only after the crack closed did he spit out a mouthful of saliva.

"Pah! Fine, go if you want to leave, but you're holding hands! You can't even leave in a clean way!"

After saying that, he casually flicked his sword and disappeared into the Void Rift.

He picked up the wine jug again and gulped it down, but after wiping the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, a trace of loneliness appeared in his eyes.

Old friends are leaving one after another, but wine remains the most enduring symbol of friendship...

Li Hao and Shi Miao's departure went unnoticed until Su Zhenyuan came to visit their Ancestral Land and learned from Su Jiuzhe that Li Hao had already left.

Su Zhenyuan asked Shi Miao about her identity with trepidation, and Su Jiuzhe did not hide it, but forbade him to reveal it casually.

When Su Zhenyuan learned that Shi Miao was a disciple of the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor and one of the most dazzling top Heavenly Prodigy in the True Realm Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe, he was somewhat surprised.

Although most of the Su Clan's Records record events in the Northern Region, the dazzling brilliance of the Southern Region also permeated the Northern Region's Records, leaving a significant mark on them.

No wonder it felt familiar; it turns out it was an existence that roamed the True Realm Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe, invincible below the Great Emperor.

Will they come back?

Su Zhenyuan inquired.

"They won't be able to return for many years; they're going to the Original True World."

Su Jiuzhe casually said, "When we meet again, that kid will surely have broken through to the next realm and become King-Sealing. At that Shi Miao and the others will have recovered their combat power from their previous lives, which will add another powerful force to the current True Realm."

At least there's something to look forward to now.

"Then this Betrothal..."

Su Zhenyuan couldn't help but ask.

Su Jiuzhe rolled her eyes at the other person and said, "The other person's fate with the Su Clan has come to an end. Fate brings people together, and fate separates them when it ends. This Betrothal is naturally null and void."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhenyuan was completely disheartened and couldn't help but smile bitterly. If Li Hao could truly become the son-in-law of the Su Clan, it would definitely have a huge impact on the future situation of the Northern Region. After all, Li Hao's Heavenly Talent was too Prodigy and unforgettable.

After leaving the Ancestral Land, Su Zhenyuan returned to the Bright Emperor Hall and explained the matter to his wife.

When Su Qingmei heard that Li Hao had left, a hint of regret appeared in her eyes, and she felt a touch of irony. When that young man first came, she couldn't wait for him to leave, and even wanted to kick him out of the Su Clan.

But now that the other person has really left, she feels a huge loss.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal's Abode Courtyard.

Su Muqing woke up from her deep sleep. She felt as if she had been in a dream, a very distant dream.

In her dream, she seemed to see some fragmented images.

It was an unfamiliar place, and there was a Divine Dynasty called Great Yu.

The familiar young figure stood guard at Border Pass somewhere in that Divine Dynasty; he seemed to be a young general.

A girl dressed in Teal-Blue Garment would occasionally see the boy in that border town, and they would chat and laugh together.

Su Muqing felt that this was indeed a dream, because the girl looked exactly like her, but she had never been to that Divine Dynasty.

"Elder sister."

A soft voice called from the side.

Su Muqing opened her eyes and saw Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue standing beside her in her bedroom.

"Um?"

Su Muqing looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. Normally, even Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue would not disturb her without her permission.

What are you doing here?

Su Muqing was puzzled, but did not blame them. Suddenly, she realized that she seemed to have fainted just now, and that they might have broken in because they were worried about her.

Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue looked at her with complicated expressions. Su Wanxue said, "You were unconscious earlier, and we were worried about you, so we stayed here to wait for you to wake up."

Su Muqing had expected this, but soon she remembered what happened before she fell into a deep sleep. She had been trying to Mastery that hidden power, but then she suddenly fell into a Past sleep.

Wait a minute, suddenly, she realized something was wrong.

His own Immortal Power... Ninth Level of Immortal Lord Realm?

She suddenly realized this and hurriedly examined herself carefully, discovering that the Immortal Power within her body was extremely dense and her immortal sea had obviously expanded a lot, indicating that she was at the Ninth Level of Immortal Lord Realm!

"I... I've advanced in cultivation? Nine levels? Skipping directly from the eighth level?!"

Su Muqing was shocked. She sat up abruptly, incredulous, her eyes filled with intense joy.

That's outrageous! Immortal Lord Realm can actually skip levels and break through to the next realm!

You should know that she didn't take any Immortal Pill Divine Medicine; she relied solely on her own abilities.

Was this due to that hidden power? Indeed, as long as I can Mastery that power, I will definitely be invincible in the Immortal Lord Realm!

Su Muqing felt a surge of confidence and joy.

"Wanqing, sister, I've broken through!"

Su Muqing immediately looked at her Sisters and told them the good news.

However, Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue didn't smile much when they heard this. Instead, they exchanged a glance and fell silent.

Su Muqing noticed that the two looked strange and was quite surprised. Her breakthrough was a momentous occasion.

"What's wrong? Has something major happened in the clan?"

Su Muqing's heart skipped a beat, and her expression suddenly changed. Could it be that the Demon' Sparring was a prelude to their Demon?

Su Wanxue shook her head slightly. Before she could speak, Su Wanqing beside her seemed to have been holding back for a long time, her voice suppressed and tinged with sadness:

"Sister, haven't you noticed that something is missing?"

What's missing?

Su Muqing was taken aback and looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

Seeing the blank look on his face, and not only sadness but also disappointment in his eyes, Su Wanqing turned around and said, "I have to go back now. I'm glad you're alright."

Su Muqing realized what was happening and quickly grabbed her, then looked at Su Wanxue beside her and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Seeing that she still hadn't figured it out, Su Wanxue said bitterly, "Try using your Divine Sense to look around the courtyard."

"Courtyard?"

Su Muqing was startled, then suddenly realized something. She scanned the courtyard with her Divine Sense and saw that it was empty, just like before.

But the Sculpting chair in front of the Go Board outside the hall was also empty.

The boy had disappeared.
