But Mei Hongyu had once shouldered the winds and rains herself, possessing the ability to stand alone. Of course, she knew she could not let such emotions show.
After saying that, her face carried an apologetic expression as she gazed deeply at Li Yan. At last, she lightly tapped her jade foot against the "Cloud-Piercing Blade," and her entire body drifted forward.
Her figure merely blurred, and she had already appeared beside the white-robed woman. Yuan Shuang had remained silent behind her all this time.
Regarding Li Yan's judgment of her own cultivation, she neither admitted nor denied it. Even when Mei Hongyu made her vow, her expression remained unchanged.
Only after Mei Hongyu came over did she speak again.
"Fellow Daoist Li, just as you said, if fate brings us together, we will meet again someday. On your journey home, do not enter any barren lands should you encounter them. If you come across a strange sea, change course. May everything go smoothly!"
After saying this, Yuan Shuang finally spoke softly to Mei Hongyu.
"Hongyu, let's return now."
She possessed plenty of Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, but she did not take any out to give Mei Hongyu. Even kindness was bound by cause and effect.
Taking out spirit stones for her disciple for no reason could not be considered some sort of reward. It would simply be repaying a debt on her behalf without cause.
If she did that, she might become entangled with Li Yan in some way. Yet, with this person, she was actually unable to "see through" him.
It was not that she truly could not see through him. She could even deduce Li Yan's surname; she simply had not said it earlier, lest she make him think too much.
But Li Yan's fate pattern was unstable.
