The night was dark and the cold wind howled, blowing directly from the mournful plain into the valley of gloomy winds, bringing with it a shrill whistling sound.

  The sky is a deep, foreboding black, without even a hint of light, as if it were an endless void.

  In the valley of Yin Wind, on the winding mountain road under Xingchen Sect, Wang Chen and Liu Xiangyan walked slowly along the mountain road.

  Two people hand in hand, feeling the temperature of each other's palms, walking together with the gentle cold wind.

  Looking at Liu Xinyan beside him, Wang Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, a hint of puzzlement flashing across his face. He felt that today's Liu Xinyan was somewhat different, as if there was something on her mind that she hadn't expressed.

  At night, Liu Xiangyan took the initiative to find him and asked him to go out for a walk. However, she rarely spoke and had a heavy-hearted expression, her eyes looked complicated beyond measure. Wang Chen could clearly feel that Liu Xiangyan was acting abnormally.

  This abnormality made Wang Chen feel somewhat annoyed, a premonition growing in his heart, as if something was about to happen.

  "Brother Chen, we've known each other for three months now, right?" After a long while, Liu Xiangyan turned her head to ask Wang Chen.

  As the two people's relationship became closer, Liu Xiangyan had changed her way of addressing Wang Chen. Although she knew that in terms of actual age, Wang Chen was even a few months younger than her, she still liked to call him that way.

  It seems that as long as she is called this way, her heart will feel at ease, after all, she is still a little girl.

  "Hmm, ninety-nine days!" Wang Chen was stunned for a moment before laughing, ninety-nine days, what a subtle number.

  And when he said this sentence, his face was even more puzzled, and that uneasy feeling suddenly became stronger.

  "Hmm, it's been 99 days already! Brother Chen, do you still remember that question I asked you at the beginning?" Yu Xiangyan hesitated for a moment before asking Wang Chen.

  Her eyes flickered and her voice trembled as she struggled to control her emotions.

  This day has finally arrived, although I'm reluctant to let go, but it's something that must be faced! When facing it, I realized my heart hurts so much, still can't bear to part with it.

  "What's wrong?" Wang Chen asked with a slight frown as he looked at Liu Xiangyan.

  Looking at Liu Xiangyan, Wang Chen's heart felt increasingly uneasy.

  "If one day I leave you, will you miss me? Will you come looking for me?" Liu Xiangyan asked faintly.

  "We won't be apart!" Wang Chen said in a low and annoyed tone for no reason.

  "What if we're apart?" Yu Xiangyan asked with a hint of bitter smile.

  "We won't be apart! Even if we are apart, I will find you and bring you back!" Wang Chen's reply was firm and resolute.

  "If we're apart, will you think of me?" asked Liu Xiangyan.

  "Got it!" Wang Chen replied as usual, simple and straightforward.

  When Wang Chen gave such a simple and resolute answer, Liu Xiangyan's eyes dropped another crystal tear in the dark night. This feeling was great, very happy! Looking at Wang Chen, as long as he had this answer, Liu Xiangyan knew that no matter what she did, it would be worth it.

  Looking at the strange Liu Xiangyan beside him, Wang Chen opened his mouth, intending to ask something, but in the end didn't ask.

  Two people held hands and continued to move slowly forward on the pitch-black mountain road in silence.

  At this moment, the atmosphere seemed a bit oppressive, and neither of them spoke again.

  After a long time, Liu Xiangyan took a deep breath and turned her head to look at Wang Chen: "I'm going back to my family tomorrow!"

  At last, she finally spoke! As soon as the words fell, her slender body trembled slightly, and tears flowed down her cheeks without realizing it.

  "Return to the family?" Upon hearing this sentence, Wang Chen was also stunned for a moment, and then revealed a hint of bitter smile.

  Family, yes, she still has her own family! Now that Xingchen Sect is entering its year-end and New Year's break, it's time for her to go back and take a look.

  Thinking of family, Wang Chen couldn't help but recall the memories of his time in Tianfeng City. He too had once had a happy family, but after that one night, it all turned to nothingness. All that was left were hatred and resentment.

  It's also clear why Yoo Hee-yeon's actions today were somewhat unusual, it turns out she was going back to her family.

  "Uh, go back! There are only twenty days left! I'll be back then." Wang Chen said softly after taking a deep breath.

  Twenty days isn't a lot of time, and it's impossible for two people to be together every day, Wang Chen was very aware of this.

  Twenty days is not a long time for him, anyway twenty days later Xīng Chén Zōng will return to normal and everyone will be back.

  It's just that when he thinks of his family, his mood can't help but be a bit heavy and bitter.

  Hearing Wang Chen's words and looking at his expression, Liu Xiangyan's face became even more complicated, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

  He probably just thought he was going back to see his family during the holidays, and didn't realize that once he left, he wouldn't be coming back. This one trip, who knows how much time it will take before they can meet again.

  If possible, Liu Xiangyan really didn't want to tell Wang Chen that once she left, she would never return to the Star Religion again. However, she knew this was something that had to be said.

  "This time after going back, I...I may not...will not return to Xingchen Sect again!" Taking a deep breath, as if summoning up the courage of a lifetime, Liu Xiangyan said softly! This sentence seemed to have used up all her strength and courage in this life, and when she finished speaking, she stood weakly on the spot.

  Wang Chen, who had just let out a sigh of relief, was also stunned this time.

  He stopped in his tracks, standing still with a look of astonishment, staring at Liu Xiangyan. This sentence was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Wang Chen.

  "Not... not coming back?" Wang Chen tried to calm himself down, his voice involuntarily trembling with a hint of incredulity as he looked at Liu Xiangyan.

  "Uh, this time after going back I will stay in the family to accept the family's inheritance and cultivation! Won't come back again! The family side also won't let me come back!" Liu Xiangyan said softly, tears streaming down her face.

  She didn't tell Wang Chen that this time she went back and wouldn't come again was mainly her own idea, wanting to have her own power in the family to help Wang Chen when the time came.

  Perhaps this would bring a greater burden to Wang Chen, she didn't want the weight on his shoulders to become even heavier.

  "Is... is it?" With a nod of confirmation, Wang Chen's face was filled with disappointment and he asked in a low voice.

  "My bloodline power has awakened, and I can no longer cultivate in the Star Sect! I can only return to my family to cultivate. Brother Chen, if I really don't come back to the Star Sect again, will you remember me? Will you come find me?" asked Liu Xiangyan.

  "Alright! You cultivate well over there, and I'll come find you when the time is right!" Taking a deep breath, Wang Chen made an effort to calm himself down, then forced out a bitter smile and said in a low voice.

  Although he didn't want to part ways, the fact was already staring him in the face. The bloodline had awakened, and from that day on when Liu Xiangyan encountered danger and burst forth with her bloodline power, Wang Chen knew that her identity wasn't simple. In fact, he could vaguely sense that she would eventually leave the Star Sect, but he hadn't expected it to be so soon.

  Now that he has awakened to his bloodline, it is only natural for him to return and cultivate. Wang Chen does not want to delay Liu Xiangyan's cultivation because of himself, returning to the family may be able to obtain better cultivation.

  "Really? But I don't want to! I'm afraid Brother Chen will forget me!" Looking at Wang Chen, Liu Xiangyan said softly.

  "Don't worry, go back and cultivate well, I'll come find you when the time is right!" Wang Chen said with a forced smile, trying to comfort Liu Xiangyan who looked dejected.

  Loving someone doesn't mean confining her to your side, but rather letting her live the best life, getting the best things. Loving someone isn't about binding her to your identity, but rather giving her a wider sky.

  "Really? I'm at the Liu's house in Qingzhou! Brother Chen, if you have time, come visit me!" Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, Liu Xiangyan's eyes lit up and she hastily said. She was previously worried that Wang Chen would be angry because she had to leave him, but now she felt much more relaxed and even sensed a strong feeling of happiness. She knew the deep meaning behind Wang Chen's words.

  Qingzhou Liu's family, at this moment, this name was deeply engraved in Wang Chen's mind.

  Qingzhou's Liu family, Wang Chen had never heard of it! However, he could guess that the Liu family of Liu Xiangyan should be very powerful.

  Qingzhou is not within the borders of Beijiang, and I never expected that Liu Xiangyan was actually from Central Plains.

  "Alright, don't worry! Go back and cultivate well, I'll come find you when the time comes!" Seeing Liu Xiangyan's appearance, Wang Chen took a deep breath and said in a low voice, his tone somewhat hoarse.

  The following time, the two people's words became very few, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing! Thinking of tomorrow, Liu Xiangyan would leave, and Wang Chen's heart ached secretly.

  The woman he had fallen in love with was leaving tomorrow! The first person to open his heart after the destruction of his family, was leaving tomorrow. Wang Chen was silent.

  Liu Xiangyan didn't say a word either, occasionally glancing at Wang Chen with complex and profound eyes, filled with reluctance and sorrow.

  It wasn't until much later that the two of them recovered somewhat, as if they had both accepted this outcome.

  In the dead of night, Liu Xiangyan and Wang Chen finally parted ways, with a strong reluctance to separate. They both knew that this was their last time alone together in the Starry Sky Sect, or perhaps even for several years to come.

  "Don't come see me off tomorrow, okay?" Ling Xiangyan asked Wang Chen as she was about to leave. She was afraid that if Wang Chen came, she would be reluctant to part with him when the time came.

  This sentence made Wang Chen pause for a moment, and he slightly furrowed his brow. Then, as if he had realized something, he looked deeply at Liu Xiangyan: "Good!"

  Having received Wang Chen's answer, Liu Xiangyan left with a hint of reluctance, looking deeply at Wang Chen. Then, she plucked up the courage to turn around and leave without looking back, fearing that if she looked back, Wang Chen would see her tear-stained face, and she was afraid that Wang Chen would worry about her.

  Wang Chen stood silently in place, watching as Liu Xiangyan walked away. The farther she went, the more his heart ached, to the point where it was hard for him to breathe. This one departure, he had no idea when they would stand together again.

  Back in his room, Wang Chen was completely drained of energy, lying dazed on the bed, lost in thought.

  "How is it, young master? Can't take it anymore?" At this time, Ling Zhan appeared beside Wang Chen and asked.

  However, Wang Chen was in no mood to care about Ling Zhan at this time.

  Looking at the disheartened Wang Chen, Ling Zhan let out a sigh! He knew how much of an impact Liu Xiangyan's departure had on Wang Chen.

  After being together for so long, Wang Chen only feels carefree and doesn't think too much when he's with Liu Xiangyan. He has already considered Liu Xiangyan as a part of himself, now that she's gone, it's easy to imagine how he's feeling.

  "Hey, kiddo, I'm not the one who said that! A real man's ambition is to roam the four corners of the earth. In this vast land, strength is what matters most. You still have so many things you haven't done yet. With her by your side, can you really put your mind at ease and do those things? Will she let you go do those dangerous things?"

  Now that she's gone, you can focus on your training! Once things are settled here, you can go find him again. It's not like it's a farewell forever. Look at the state you're in. Don't tell others that you're my disciple, Ling Zhan - it's embarrassing to say so!

  Others have their own families, and she's not saying anything? Has her bloodline awakened? When the bloodline awakens, it's only natural to return to the family to receive inheritance and cultivation! Don't think too much. What you need to do now is cultivate well here. Wait until your strength grows stronger, then set foot in the Central Continent, go to Qingzhou Liu Family to find him!" Later, seeing Wang Chen still silent, Ling Zhan comforted him.

  "I understand!" Upon hearing Ling Zhan's words, Wang Chen was slightly stunned and then said in a low voice.

  "Hmm, that's more like it. But you'd better work hard too! Tsk tsk tsk... That little girl's family isn't simple at all! With your current status, they definitely won't approve of you, and if you want to get the little girl, you still have a long way to go!" Seeing Wang Chen slightly perk up, Ling Zhan continued.

  "Start practicing well from tomorrow! Don't think about anything else!" Then, continued to comfort.

  "Got it!" Wang Chen said with a sigh.

  Liu Xianyan's family is not simple, this can be seen from her bloodline power. People who can possess inherited bloodline power are not simple people, and their families are not simple either.

  As he spent more time with Ling Zhan, Wang Chen gradually came to understand the matter of bloodline inheritance! The formation and transmission of a bloodline requires the efforts of many generations, even tens of generations, which is impossible for ordinary people. Families with bloodline inheritances are definitely not simple families. And those who can awaken their bloodlines must have reached an extremely high level of quality, which means something that Wang Chen was all too clear about.

  Such a family would naturally not easily recognize a person. At least for now, I am still far from it. To get their recognition, I need to keep working hard!

  At this thought, Wang Chen perked up again, just like Ling Zhan said, parting ways was only temporary. It wasn't too late to go to Qingzhou and find Liu Xiangyan after his own strength had grown stronger! This period of time could be used to wholeheartedly devote himself to cultivation and resolve the matters at hand.

  Thinking of all this, Wang Chen felt a little relieved in his heart, and this was an excuse and reason he found for himself.

  "Haha, not bad, you're adjusting so quickly! Yeah, not bad!" Looking at Wang Chen's gradually brightening eyes, Ling Zhan smiled with satisfaction and nodded.

  A moment later, Wang Chen entered the practice with a melancholy expression. At this moment, perhaps only practice can let him put down this matter.

  Looking at Wang Chen entering the training, Ling Zhan let out a sigh: "Qingzhou Liu family? I didn't expect this little girl to be from that family! Tsk tsk tsk... Qinglong bloodline, and yet I didn't notice it that day! The heir of the Qinglong bloodline, heh heh, if I were to marry this little thing, the offspring would definitely be not bad! The combination of Shenwu bloodline and Qinglong bloodline, tsk tsk tsk... makes one look forward to it!"
