Simple four words, like sleep talk, a slight whisper. But they contain so much emotion. Lin Tian inhaled the delightful fragrance from Shu Yi, sighing lightly in his heart. In this moment, he could sense so much from the other person. Yearning, reluctance, anxiety, apology, confusion... All emotions seemed to coalesce in this whisper, encapsulated in this one phrase — I miss you greatly! "Tonight, I’ll stay with you!" Lin Tian gently said as he embraced Shu Yi. Shu Yi nodded slightly, her heart wrapped in joy and sweetness. Finally, she murmured, "Let’s go to a place, just by West Lake!" Lin Tian followed Shu Yi to a hotel located by West Lake. The hotel was situated right by the lakeside, just one level, occupying a vast area with elegant architecture and serene surroundings. They checked into a room, and Lin Tian and Shu Yi entered, able to see the waters of West Lake undulating outside the room’s floor-to-ceiling windows. The rippling lake water, vast and misty, reflected a lake full of neon lights. "I... I’ll take a bath..." Shu Yi glanced outside, then turned back to see only the two of them there, blushing lightly she whispered, before turning to enter the bathroom. Lin Tian sat at the head of the bed, staring at the water outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his emotions somewhat complicated. It was unknown how much time had passed. Lin Tian felt a fragrant breeze and warmth coming from behind. Two jade-white arms embraced him from behind. Turning his head, a white silhouette appeared in his vision. Shu Yi, without a stitch on, wrapped around him, making Lin Tian take a deep breath, turning over to embrace her. Googlᴇ search 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 Soon, the entire room was bathed in springtime ambiance. But Shu Yi had risen even earlier; he looked toward the dressing table, where a curvaceous figure sat with her back to him. "There are some matters at the company, I have to go..." Shu Yi seemed to notice Lin Tian waking, but she didn’t turn back, softly saying, "I... I won’t see you off! If I miss you, I’ll call you..." At the last words, Shu Yi’s voice carried a trace of choking. She suddenly stood up, without looking at Lin Tian, and walked out. But Lin Tian could clearly see that as Shu Yi walked away, her back subtly trembled, filled with endless melancholy and solitude. Lin Tian quietly watched, sitting at the bedside, silent and wordless. After Shu Yi left shortly, Lin Tian could only let out a light sigh, "What kind of situation is this!" In this mortal world, Lin Tian was destined to be unable to offer Shu Yi any promises or vows. If Shu Yi ultimately couldn’t keep pace with him, they were destined to be people of two different worlds! In the end, he would still need to leave this world! Shaking his head, Lin Tian dismissed these troubles from his mind. "It’s not like a life-or-death separation! I’ll find a way to deal with the matters behind later!" Lin Tian muttered to himself, and after washing up and dressing, he left the hotel, ready to head to East Sea and meet Mooo Zishui to go to the ancient land of Taishan. Leaving West Lake, Lin Tian headed northward, leaving East Sea City. Lin Tian released Evil like Xiaotian, preparing to use the flying sword to travel at the fastest speed back to East Sea to take Mooo Zishui to Taishan. From the ridges not far away, came intense sounds of fighting. The sound of metals clashing, along with explosive noises, came from the other side of the ridge. From that direction came vague surges of True Qi. "Cultivators are fighting!" Lin Tian exclaimed with surprise. After slightly hesitating, he immediately retracted the flying sword in his hand and walked toward the ridges on that side. Standing on top of the ridge. Lin Tian looked down to see a pair of young man and woman engaged in fierce swordsmanship battle below. Both appeared to be about twenty-five or six, both dressed in white attire adorned with the pattern of a flying Divine Dragon. However, Lin Tian quickly saw that they were merely sparring. It was not a hostile fight! Because neither of them showed any killing intent. From time to time, the young man would even point out a few flaws in sword moves and execution to the woman. Seeing the young man’s guidance and the manner of their sparring, Lin Tian shook his head secretly. The True Qi surging from both during their moves made Lin Tian frown, concentrating intently to observe. Lin Tian’s expression was surprised, speaking softly to himself. It was Dragon Energy! These two people had Dragon Energy flowing through them! Having Dragon Energy meant having a connection with the Dragon Clan! The Dragon Clan, one of the strongest races in the All Heavens World! Could anyone with Dragon Energy have a simple background? Even if this Dragon Energy was very, very weak! Even if it was just a trace! But it undeniably emanated from them both, and with Lin Tian’s powerful Divine Sense and sensing, he felt he hadn’t mistaken. Are these two from Dragon Cry City? Lin Tian speculated silently. And at this time, the two sparring below already stopped. Because they discovered Lin Tian standing on the ridge, watching their sparring, both faces turning sullen, frowning and looking over. The young man shouted sternly, cold in his eyes. In response to the young man’s shout, Lin Tian casually replied, turning to leave. Whether they were from Dragon Cry City or not, Lin Tian wasn’t interested. He was merely interested due to seeing cultivators appear here and the Dragon Energy in them. But it was merely interest. The trace of Dragon Energy on them didn’t benefit Lin Tian much. As Lin Tian was about to leave, the young man hurriedly stepped up, blocking Lin Tian, and shouted, "Did I say you could leave?" Lin Tian frowned, looking at the young man blocking his way, and coldly said, "What more do you want?" "What for? Ant! This gentleman hasn’t told you to scram, so just stay put!" In the young man’s eyes, Lin Tian seemed like a mere passerby, hence he viewed mortals as ants, to be manipulated at will, "Did you see everything just now?" "Your fight? Of course, I saw it all!" Lin Tian blinked, looking at the young man, thinking his question was somewhat foolish. Hearing this, the young man’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. Since Lin Tian saw it all and remained so composed, it made him somewhat annoyed. "Seems like you’re not afraid of death!" The young man chuckled coldly, shouting, "However, given your courage, I won’t hurt you! It’d be best if you forget what you saw and then scram..." Hearing the young man say "scram" again, Lin Tian blinked, looked at him, and found it amusing, given that with those flawed moves, he wanted Lin Tian to remember it. Such sparring was absurd, filled with errors and invited ridicule! With those words, the young man became so angry he nearly spat. The accompanying woman, thrown off by Lin Tian’s words, stumbled. "You ordinary mortals, apologize, or I break your legs!" Lin Tian’s face turned sullen, and he shouted, "Get out of my way! Or die!" In that one word, a tangible killing intent was felt! In an instant, the young man and woman felt a sudden chill in their hearts. But they quickly came to their senses. Enraged, the young man was about to draw his sword against Lin Tian. But suddenly, a loud voice shouted from below the ridge. "Why are you engaging in a conflict, Jiaang Yu! Ren Xiaoyu!?" The shout came with an elderly voice, and as the words fell, an old man hurried up the ridge, saying, "Stop! You’re here to find the place where the ancestor of the Dragon Clan fell, not to cause trouble!" Upon hearing the scolding, Jiaang Yu and Ren Xiaoyu quickly turned around, bowing their heads respectfully to the elder, "We were just trying to teach this ant a lesson when you arrived, Master!" And Lin Tian, turning his gaze to see who it was, discovered it was someone familiar—Elder Long Zhentian!
