Chapter 1399: Chapter 1358: The New Year is Approaching

“Master, the human New Year is almost upon us.”

“What, are you thinking about him?”

“Don’t you miss him too, Master?”

Fuxiang shifted slightly, her cheeks flushed with shyness, and said, “Master, let’s go find him.”

Yun Ji let out a faint snort, her tone laden with resentment: “Find him for what? That heartless man doesn’t even care or bother, who knows what he’s busy with!”

“Then…”

“Tomorrow, we’re going to Cloud City. I must find Lu Chuan and ask him what he means by all this!”

Yun Ji stood up, her white tail swaying behind her, and her alluring eyes filled with deep longing.

Upon hearing this, Fuxiang couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.

The thought of seeing Lu Chuan soon made Fuxiang’s limbs feel soft, nearly powerless.

Meanwhile, in Tiannan, at the Shen family estate.

“Ms. Mengyao, it’s time to take a break now!”

Shen Yourong gently pushed open the door, but strangely, Chu Mengyao was nowhere to be seen.

During this time, the two had already acknowledged each other as sisters. Since Chu Mengyao was older, she naturally became Shen Yourong’s elder sister.

“How strange, where did Ms. Mengyao go?”

“Guess who I am?”

Shen Yourong suddenly felt a pair of hands grabbing at her weak spot, her face turned bright red in an instant as she struggled to step back a few steps, protesting, “Ms. Mengyao, you scared me again!”

“Haha, with a figure like yours, Shen Shen, how could I not envy you?”

“Tch…”

Shen Yourong pouted slightly, thought for a moment, and then sank into a serious tone while sitting before Chu Mengyao: “Ms. Mengyao, I miss Lu Chuan a bit… I wonder what he’s been busy with lately, it’s been so long, yet he hasn’t come to see us.”

“He has his mission. Since we can’t offer much help, we shouldn’t become his burdens. However, with the New Year near, we could go to Cloud City to look for him.”

“Really?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yourong instantly brightened up, her excitement spilling out: “I want to go! I want to see him!”

Seeing the longing in Shen Yourong’s eyes, Chu Mengyao smiled knowingly.

“Actually, I miss him too. Alright, tomorrow we’ll head to Cloud City and spend the New Year with him.”

“Okay!”

…

In Jiangbei Provincial City, at the Han family estate.

Gazing upon the still-sleeping Zhong Ling’er, Han Qingci sighed silently.

“Ling’er, just when exactly will you wake up? And Lu Chuan, what’s wrong with him? It’s been so long, yet he hasn’t dropped by to check on you.”

“You know, Ling’er, the New Year is almost here. I’m guessing you also can’t wait to see him, right? How about I take you to Cloud City to find him, okay?”

Han Qingci spoke while cautiously glancing at Zhong Ling’er.

“You’re not saying anything, so I’ll take that as a yes?”

Zhong Ling’er remained silent.

“Caretaker, Caretaker!”

“Miss, is there something you need?”

“Prepare a private plane! I’m taking Ling’er to Cloud City!”

“N-now? Miss, it’s almost New Year—don’t you want to stay at home with the master and madam to celebrate?”

Han Qingci waved her hand dismissively and said, “This year, there’s something more important. Do as I say and prepare quickly!”

“This… Fine.”

The caretaker sighed lightly. Though she didn’t understand the reasoning, her duties as the household’s servant demanded unquestioning compliance.

“Tomorrow, tomorrow we’ll see him, Ling’er. I hope you wake this time around. If not…”

Speaking softly, Han Qingci leaned close to Zhong Ling’er’s ear and whispered, “If not, this time you might just lose your chance.”

…

“I don’t care! I just want to go! Father, quickly send someone to take me!”

In Qingyang City, at the Tang family estate.

Tang Yurou sat on the floor of the hall, throwing a tantrum, leaving Tang Shouli with a splitting headache.

“New Year is almost here. Can’t you just stay at home and spend it with your father?”

“How many New Years have we spent together already? Every year it’s the same routine—not fun at all. I want to go find Brother Lu Chuan! I want to spend New Year with him!”

“You don’t even know if Lu Chuan will be in Cloud City. What if he’s not?”

“I don’t care. I’m going anyway! Ahhh, I’m just going!”

Looking at his daughter’s completely unreasonable behavior, Tang Shouli could only feel his head swelling.

“Alright, alright. You can go. Tomorrow, you’ll depart, okay?”

“Hehe, I knew you were the best, Father!”

…

The next day, atop the Profound Sect.

Situ Qinghuan slowly opened her eyes, a trace of icy clarity flickering within them.

For some reason, lately during her cultivation, she often felt restless and unsettled. Even the Jingxin Pill provided no relief whatsoever.

It seemed she was preoccupied with someone.

Unbidden, Lu Chuan’s smiling face surfaced in her mind, causing Situ Qinghuan to unconsciously tighten her lips.

“I wonder how he is now.”

Lost in thought, Situ Qinghuan abruptly stood up and walked out of the great hall. Although the elders observed her departure with curiosity, no one dared to question her.

It wasn’t until Situ Qinghuan’s aura fully departed the Profound Sect that the elders exchanged puzzled glances.

“Is the Sect Master…”

“Don’t say what shouldn’t be said. Focus on your cultivation.”

“Could she be heading to Cloud City to find Lu Chuan?”

“I already told you not to talk too much!”

…

In Luo City, at the Ye family estate.

“Mother, are you ready? If you’re ready, let’s leave.”

“I’m ready, let’s go, Jiaxin.”

“Mmhmm!”

Ye Jiaxin nodded lightly, her eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

The thought of soon meeting Lu Chuan—whom she constantly thought about—brought an uncontrollable smile to her face.

Seeing her daughter’s expression, Li Yingnu sighed lightly.

For her, the days were becoming increasingly unbearable.

Every day, she missed Lu Chuan terribly, eagerly wanting to see him even just briefly. Even though Ye Chongshan had returned to the Ye family, the husband and wife now slept in separate rooms, distant as ever. Ye Chongshan assumed Li Yingnu was still angry, but little did he know, her heart had long left him for someone else.

Initially, Jiaxin wanted to travel alone to Cloud City to find Lu Chuan. Ultimately, it was Li Yingnu who offered to accompany her, claiming she wanted to thank Lu Chuan properly. In truth, it was nothing more than an excuse to ease her own longing.

…

In Qingyang City, at Azure Dragon Academy.

Nalan Xuan struggled to sit up from her bed, her eyes glimmering with a touch of bewilderment.

She and Ye Chongshan had parted ways.

After reviving Ye Chongshan, Nalan Xuan suddenly realized that the fire of their old passions had long burned out. She no longer had any interest in rekindling their intimacy. When he expressed his desire to return home, she permitted him to leave.

At some point, the space in her heart once reserved for Ye Chongshan had unknowingly been filled by someone else…

I must go find him; I shouldn’t hesitate anymore!

The moment this thought surfaced, Nalan Xuan acted decisively. Sealing the mountain’s gates, she activated the protective formation surrounding Azure Dragon Academy to safeguard it from external disturbances during her departure.

She was set on going to Cloud City, determined to see Lu Chuan. She no longer wished to endure the wait.
