After bidding Xuanyuan Long farewell, Su Mo continued toward Tu Mountain Town, though he became even more cautious.
He had been so vigilant before, yet Xuanyuan Long had still discovered him. It left him utterly vexed.
Su Mo did not know much about Xuanyuan Long, but since the other man bore no hostility, that could not have been better.
After flying for several hours, he found a mountain range and stopped there for half a day.
Only after confirming that no one was following him did he set off again.
A day later, Su Mo returned safely to Tu Mountain Town and to the Azure Divine Palace.
After returning to the Azure Divine Palace, Su Mo first went to Qingxuan's residence. She had not left yet.
Within a tranquil courtyard, Su Mo and Yun Youyou sat facing each other on stone stools.
"Qingxuan, how have you been lately?" Su Mo asked with a smile.
"Very well. I have been waiting for you to return," Yun Youyou said softly. Having stayed in the Azure Divine Palace for nearly two months, she had gained many insights.
Over the past two days, she had made time to spend with her family and friends, learning a great deal about the past.
It gave her a sense of home—warm, faint though it was, yet truly there.
However, she still had to return to the Mingxu Star River, to the Taiyin Tribe.
"Are you preparing to go back?" Su Mo asked.
"Yes. I have been away for so long; I must return," Yun Youyou nodded. She had to go back, or if she delayed too long, her master would come looking for her.
"All right! But I cannot return with you!" Su Mo sighed. Once they parted this time, it would be a long while before
