"This calamity..."
Hearing the Princess Consort's question, Liao Xing shook his head gravely.
Along the way, he had vaguely sensed that Luo Yunji was deliberately teaching him and Bi Yao. From what Luo Yunji had said, it seemed that only those who cultivated the Heavenly Book could leave the blood-red barrier around Mount Huqi, and only those who practiced the Heavenly Book techniques could hurt the "Strange Objects."
From this, Liao Xing could be sure Luo Yunji was preparing for what lay ahead.
"I don't dare ask him!" Liao Xing said gloomily, his head lowered. "I'm afraid of hearing the answer!"
The Princess Consort's eyes reddened. Her tightly clasped fingers had gone pale.
"That child came back this time to..."
Liao Xing nodded.
Luo Yunji had returned to say goodbye! To lay to rest the regrets in his heart, and the regrets of the Princess Consort and the others.
It was a journey he had to make to temper his state of mind.
As they made their rounds, Luo Yunji yielded to Bi Yao in everything. Whenever Bi Yao looked annoyed, he would give in. After it happened several times, Bi Yao began to notice something was wrong.
This wasn't the "naughty boy" she knew! Once she paid attention, Bi Yao finally noticed the strange change in Luo Yunji. But just like Liao Xing, she didn't dare ask, or let on that she had noticed anything unusual about him.
Call it burying their heads in the sand or deceiving themselves, but they didn't want to hear the answer.
Liao Xing and Bi Yao didn't slack off in their cultivation because of it. If anything, they became more focused, more diligent, and more desperate.
They could sense the urgency in Luo Yunji's heart. He didn't have much time to spend on
