Chapter 1098 - 1098 1084 The Past is Like Smoke

Chapter 1098: Chapter 1084: The Past is Like Smoke Chapter 1098: Chapter 1084: The Past is Like Smoke Su Zhanze had the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand and believed that eliminating the Tianye Demon was just a matter of moments. He added, “We are the people of the Immortal and Demon realms. If we do not join forces now, when will we? It will also benefit our Immortal City Sect. If our Immortal City Sect can take the lead in eliminating the Tianye Demon, we will certainly be able to cleanse our shame, especially the shame brought upon us by Ren Xiongbei.”

Qiao Haoyu said, “You are the Sect Leader, so of course, it’s your call.”

“Not necessarily, speak up about anything you have in mind, we all belong to the Immortal City Sect!” Su Zhanze also showed modesty. Now that he was the Sect Leader of the Immortal City Sect, he still had to unite everyone. After suffering such a disaster, and with the matter of Ren Xiongbei, the Immortal City was not as great as it used to be.

Qiao Haoyu was still quite surprised and humbly said, “Mm, I agree with the Sect Leader. Removing the Tianye Demon is indeed a major issue. We should join forces with Demon Palace City and set an example in the Immortal and Demon realms. I fully support this.” Now that Su Zhanze was the Sect Leader of the Immortal City Sect, if he continued to oppose Su Zhanze, he certainly wouldn’t end up well. No matter how he thought about it, he had to support the other party.

“It seems Brother Qiao still understands the situation very well.” Su Zhanze gave a slight smile, thinking that if the other party dared to hesitate or obstruct, he certainly would not let them off easily.

Qiao Haoyu, feeling astonished, said, “Hey, we are all part of the Immortal City Sect. I also hope to take this opportunity to let the people of the Immortal and Demon realms re-evaluate our Immortal City Sect. We all wish for our sect to grow stronger and stronger.”

Su Zhanze eagerly said, “Exactly, we are all brothers! For our Immortal City Sect, for the Immortal and Demon realms, we should all help the people of Demon Palace City to deal with the Tianye Demon and eliminate this scourge as soon as possible, for the blessing of all living beings.”

Yuan Jingxing, no longer entangled as before, was very supportive of going out to eliminate the Tianye Demon for the benefit of all, thus, putting aside his thoughts about Ren Xiongbei.

Su Zhanze looked around and continued, “So, everyone present agrees that we should join forces with the people of Demon Palace City to deal with the Tianye Demon, right?”

They almost unanimously agreed.

Su Zhanze looked at Yuan Jingxing and said, “In that case, there’s not much else to say. Yuan Jingxing, you contact Master Lou Xuancheng and arrange a meeting with them as soon as possible.”

Yuan Jingxing was, of course, very willing to do so and said, “Don’t worry, I will contact them as soon as possible.”

Su Zhanze turned to Chen Yu and said, “Chen Yu, quickly get our manpower ready. We must act swiftly.”

Chen Yu was very pleased.

Su Zhanze intended to use this opportunity to completely wash away the stains of the past on the Immortal City Sect and have the people of the Immortal and Demon realms re-evaluate the Immortal City Sect – obtaining the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual and the Dragon Slayer Sword was not his goal.

Guo Yuyun returned to Demon Palace City and saw her mother. Demon Palace City had returned to its deserved tranquility.

She was no longer as negative as she had been some time ago, but she couldn’t forget Ye Chen. She dreamed of him almost every night, and during the day, she would zone out in her room.

He Xibai felt very distressed but didn’t know what to say. However, the recent arrival of one person to Demon Palace City had caught her attention. That person was Song Xizhi. Song Xizhi visited their courtyard at least once every day, and it had been three days already. She felt that this young man must have taken a liking to Guo Yuyun.

Ever since she learned that Song Xizhi had saved Guo Yuyun, she had a good impression of the young man.

Ye Chen was dead, and Guo Yuyun had to move on, but how to do so was a conundrum. Staying in her room would certainly not help. Should she think of a way to assist them? She believed she should do so.

“Yun’er, you should go outside and bask in the sun,” He Xibai said to Guo Yuyun, who was staring blankly at the table.

Guo Yuyun was fiddling with a small marble and shook her head, saying, “I don’t want to bask.”

“Let’s do something fun.”

“What kind of fun?”

“Fishing! Or how about a barbecue?”

Guo Yuyun shook her head and said, “Not interested.”

Suddenly, He Xibai said, “I know you still have Ye Chen in your heart, but Ye Chen is gone, and it’s been so long. Do you plan to live like this forever?”

Upon hearing this, Guo Yuyun fell silent and continued playing with the marble in her hand.

He Xibai added, “I didn’t want to bring it up, but some things must be said. You have a long life ahead of you. You can’t continue like this forever, closing yourself off as a spinster. I believe your mother would not agree with that.”

Guo Yuyun looked at two birds fighting in the trees, flitting back and forth, and was unwittingly moved. If the birds could find companions, why couldn’t she?

“I think that Song Xizhi is not bad towards you.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I’m not talking nonsense. The man looks decent, and he’s the son of the Nine Leaves Sect Leader. I think you should seriously consider it.”

Guo Yuyun became angry and said, “You can’t talk nonsense like that, or else I won’t speak to you anymore.”

“I’m serious, this young man is quite good, you should consider it. Your mother has mentioned she wants to find you a match.”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Guo Yuyun almost jumped up.

He Xibai heard this and said, “Do you really plan to spend your whole life like this, alone forever? Your mother definitely won’t agree to that. I advise you to think it over. Don’t miss out and end up an old maid. Whether you agree or not, your mother will marry you off.”

Guo Yuyun glared at He Xibai.

“Yes, you might not like hearing this, but under the current circumstances… If Ye Chen were alive, there would be nothing to discuss, but he’s been dead for two months. By just staring at the sky, can you bring him back to life? You can’t. You still have to move on and remarry. Since that’s the case, you’d better choose wisely and not miss a good opportunity.”

“If you want to get married, go ahead by yourself. I certainly won’t!”

“Every girl ends up getting married eventually. I know you can’t forget him yet, but what can you do? Perhaps by trying to accept someone else, you might slowly let go and eventually move on. I’m warning you, don’t push your mother to the brink. She is capable of doing anything.”

Guo Yuyun seemed to deflate a little, exhaling deeply.

“Sigh, Ye Chen was a great man, and his death saddens me too, but it’s been so long already. All the tears that could be cried have been shed. You haven’t wronged him; live your life well from now on.”

The two sparrows on the tree flew away.

“Do you think I’m in the mood to think about these things right now!” Guo Yuyun muttered.

“So you’ll just stay in your room or in the courtyard forever? You’ve been back for a month, and apart from visiting your mother that one time, you haven’t gone out. How can this continue?” He Xibai went on to say, “I know it’s hard for you to accept someone new right away, but you can’t keep going on like this forever. Sooner or later, you’ll make yourself sick.”

Suddenly two people walked in; it was Song Xizhi and Wu Jingge, carrying food.

“Look how nice they are to you, coming to see you on time every day. You should give them a chance; it would be good for you!”

Guo Yuyun snorted through her nose upon hearing this.

Song Xizhi had gone to great lengths to stay in Demon Palace City for a few more days.

He knew that Guo Yuyun was not over Ye Chen. In fact, he had thought about giving up, but he liked her too much, and Wu Jingge noticed it.

Wu Jingge encouraged him and helped him analyze the situation, telling him that Guo Yuyun’s past with Ye Chen was over and it was impossible for them to be together. With more time, she would definitely start to notice him.

It was these encouragements that made Song Xizhi much more resolved, and he believed Wu Jingge was right. Ye Chen was dead, what could Guo Yuyun possibly have with him anymore? The most important thing was that he truly liked Guo Yuyun – he dreamed about her almost every night.

Seeing Song Xizhi and Wu Jingge enter, He Xibai was overjoyed, as though her own suitor had arrived, and quickly said, “I’ll go make some tea.” She was, of course, delighted that Song Xizhi had come over.

Guo Yuyun, staying in the courtyard every day, would get sick from the confinement. Their visits were rarely very talkative, but at least they served a purpose, preventing the courtyard from being too desolate,

It was obvious that Song Xizhi was still somewhat shy.

He Xibai said, “We were just talking about going fishing.”

Song Xizhi brightened up and said, “Fishing? I’ll go prepare the fishing hooks.”

Guo Yuyun glared at He Xibai, who quickly turned away.

Guo Yuyun felt awkward to say it was He Xibai who suggested it, especially since Song Xizhi had saved her. If it weren’t for him, she would have been taken advantage of. She was grateful to Song Xizhi, especially since he had been coming to visit for the past several days.

Wu Jingge said, “I’ll take care of preparing the fishing hooks.”

Guo Yuyun wanted to speak, but before she could finish, Wu Jingge had already gone out to prepare the hooks.

She could only respond with a cold smile.

Song Xizhi came in.

“You’ve been in Demon Palace City for some days now?” Guo Yuyun asked.

“Yes, for a few days.” He appeared a bit embarrassed. To stay in Demon Palace City for so many days, he had to thank Guo Yuyun’s mother. It was her approval that had landed him more than ten days in Demon Palace City.

Xia Yue, upon learning about her daughter’s situation and how Song Xizhi had rescued Guo Yuyun, developed a favorable impression of the young man. What’s more, Song Xizhi was Song Zheng’an’s son. If her daughter ended up marrying him, her future would certainly not be too bad, so she took a liking to Song Xizhi.
