Chapter 581: Chapter 581: On the Stairs, Dong Miaoxuan’s Notebook

"Biyun, if you trust me, please come up with me."

Zhu Fei stood on the white steps and reevaluated his feelings, roughly gauging the situation before smiling and addressing Shui Biyun.

At this moment, if Zhu Fei was not mistaken, the challenges posed by these invisible stairs, or rather, the obstacles, were aimed at the cultivators’ Divine Souls.

If he didn’t have the Yellow Heaven Umbrella, it would have been very difficult, perhaps even impossible, to ascend these stairs with Shui Biyun.

But now, Zhu Fei was at least eighty percent confident that under the premise of ensuring Shui Biyun’s safety, he could help her ascend this invisible staircase.

Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Shui Biyun didn’t hesitate at all; her delicate body stepped forward, and in an instant, she was by Zhu Fei’s side.

"Buzz...!"

As Zhu Fei predicted, the moment Shui Biyun stood by his side, a surge of force suddenly emerged from the steps, directly targeting Shui Biyun’s Divine Soul!

Without a moment’s delay, Zhu Fei’s heart slightly stirred.

A vast, stable, heavy, indestructible golden halo immediately enveloped Shui Biyun, easily blocking the incoming shockwave.

"Biyun, as we ascend each step, we will be attacked by these stairs. The manner of attack targets our minds and Primordial Spirits."

After blocking the first wave aimed at Shui Biyun, Zhu Fei looked at her with a serious tone and said,

"Based on my guess, the attacks we will face are likely to get stronger. They could be direct assaults on the Divine Soul or various kinds of illusions. I will do my best to protect you, but you must also not be complacent on your own."

Seeing Zhu Fei’s serious expression, Shui Biyun did not dare to be negligent and promptly nodded, saying,

"Yes, Brother Zhu, rest assured, Biyun will be careful. I will rely on you."

Shui Biyun knew well that without Zhu Fei’s assistance, she might not have even reached these invisible stairs, let alone enter the second tier of the pagoda.

It was more likely that she would have been harmed mercilessly by the people from the Fire Cloud Sword Sect while still on the first tier.

Thinking this, Shui Biyun’s eyes filled with gratitude and warmth when she looked at Zhu Fei.

However, the thought of soon having to part ways with Zhu Fei as they entered the third tier of the pagoda made her feel inexplicably saddened.

For a moment, Shui Biyun felt somewhat conflicted.

Zhu Fei naturally did not know what was going through Shui Biyun’s mind, but even if he did, he would not care.

Truthfully, Zhu Fei’s attitude toward helping Shui Biyun had always been more transactional, with no other ulterior motives.

If anything, after spending some time together, Zhu Fei merely considered Shui Biyun to be a friend worth making.

Now, as Zhu Fei and Shui Biyun advanced, levitating and using the Yellow Heaven Umbrella to defy the continuous assaults on their Divine Souls.

Only after ascending about several dozen steps did Zhu Fei and Shui Biyun feel a slight tremor in their hearts.

Protected by Zhu Fei’s Yellow Heaven Umbrella, Shui Biyun was relatively unharmed; despite feeling a bit unstable, she faced no significant impact.

But Zhu Fei, at this moment, was not specifically using the Yellow Heaven Umbrella to protect himself.

On one hand, the Yellow Heaven Umbrella had only nineteen Prohibitions refined in it so far, and its protective range was limited. If not necessary, Zhu Fei would not divert its protective power.

On the other hand, the current circumstances, for Zhu Fei, were also considered a rare training experience. Thus, from beginning to end, he relied solely on his own strength to fend off those shockwave attacks.

However, now, Zhu Fei distinctly felt that after resisting another wave of Divine Soul attacks, clouds appeared before his eyes.

And in these clouds, the image that appeared was not something from the Cultivation Continent, but rather an airplane speeding through the sky!

Quickly, Zhu Fei’s view went through the exterior of the plane, directly into the cabin.

The first person he saw inside immediately caused a slight startle in Zhu Fei’s heart.

Dong Miaoxuan!

Yes, on this plane, the only person Zhu Fei noticed was indeed Dong Miaoxuan!

At that moment, she was holding a notebook, writing and drawing something in it.

Zhu Fei was somewhat baffled, not understanding why he would suddenly see Dong Miaoxuan at such a time.

But driven by some psychological effect, Zhu Fei’s awareness eventually focused on the notebook in Dong Miaoxuan’s hands.

It was as if he had a kind of X-ray vision, allowing Zhu Fei to clearly see everything written in Dong Miaoxuan’s notebook.

It read: "September 27, partly cloudy. Today was the day I made my biggest mistake. I misunderstood a friend’s kindness as malice. Suddenly, I felt an emptiness, as if losing the most important thing in my life... it’s so hard...

October 30, rainy. My mood is like the gloomy weather, colorless. It’s been over a month, and I still haven’t been able to get in touch with him. I almost searched every place he might be, but alas, still no results...

February 15, heavy rain, another rainy day, feeling extremely vexed. It’s been a year, why? Why is there still no sign from him? Could it be that he really isn’t willing to give me a chance to apologize?

September 27, partly cloudy. Haha, two years now. I faintly remember the day you saved me from a sports car collision, remember the lunch we shared with laughter...

But why? I should have forgotten about you by now. Yet your image in my mind not only hasn’t faded, but it has even become clearer every month...

Do I have some kind of demonic seal? Many nights, my dreams are filled with you, yet each time I wake up, the deep painful ache makes it hard for me to breathe. Zhu Fei, where are you? I miss you so much!"

...

Zhu Fei stared blankly at the words on Dong Miaoxuan’s notebook, feeling slightly dazed but more so, it was a mix of complexity and helplessness.

He hadn’t expected that since parting with Dong Miaoxuan back then, she would harbor such thoughts for him.

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what feeling it was, but if a word had to describe Zhu Fei’s current emotions, it would be bitter.

Because he knew that some things, once missed, would indeed be incredibly difficult to amend.

It wasn’t that Zhu Fei still dwelled on the past. In fact, he had long stopped caring about Dong Miaoxuan’s earlier misunderstanding of him.

Currently, his prevailing feeling, and perhaps his only possible reaction, was perhaps just a sigh.

Because, between him and Dong Miaoxuan now, they were no longer people of the same world.
