Mu Qingyin looked at Gu Shi’s expression; his heart sank slightly as he felt that Gu Shi was like entrusting an orphan to other’s care.
He felt uneasy.
“Master Gu, I will use my life to protect Yiyi, but… What Yiyi needs more is for us to protect her together, not by me alone.”
Others might think that Gu Yiyi was a rebellious and disobedient daughter, but in fact, Gu Shi was the most important person in her life. She would rather give up everything than lose him.
Gu Shi said with a bitter smile, “I’m already glad as you are willing to promise me. I have always felt that some changes will happen in this mainland. I am the head of Tian Shen Manor, and I’ve many responsibilities. But Yiyi is different, so I hope that no matter what happens, she will be able to live well.”
Mu Qingyin raised his head and stared at Gu Shi’s face for half a second before finally nodding slightly.
“Don’t worry. I will protect her.”
“I feel at ease having you here.” Gu Shi smiled and patted Mu Qingyin’s shoulder. He then turned to Old Master Mu. “This son of yours is an excellent man. Otherwise, I would not have chosen to marry my most precious daughter to him.”
From the first moment he saw Mu Qingyin, Gu Shi could see what kind of person he was.
There were too many accidents in life, and he was afraid that one day he would leave, Gu Yiyi would have no one to take care of her.
For this reason, he wanted Mu Qingyin to be with his daughter.
“Master Gu, let’s talk inside.” Old Master Mu’s face sank a little. “Qingyin, you go find Yiyi.”
Mu Qingyin looked at Old Master Mu and nodded. “Alright.”
After saying this, he turned around and left.

The sky of Cang Yue Mainland was gloomy as if there was an endless storm gradually rising…
With an indescribable power.
At this moment, a man stopped in his tracks atop a high mountain.
His face was handsome with a domineering aura, as if he was the king of the world.
At the side of the man stood a woman in a white dress.
The woman looked stunning, and she was as beautiful as an immortal in a painting.
Their eyes were fixed upon the gloomy sky.
“Yan’er…” Feng Tianwu put one hand on his back; the wind brushed his robe. “I can feel that the sky is not quite calm, and it is not the same as the previous change of the sky. It was only a rainstorm before, but this time, I feel a different force.”
A force… So strong that it was impossible to resist…
Nalan Yan frowned. “How long has Qing’er been away?”
“It’s been five years.”
Five years…
In the blink of an eye, she had left for five years.
Nalan Yan lowered her gaze, pondered for a moment, and said, “We have also been gone for a long time. Let’s go, it’s time to go back to Liu Yun Kingdom to take a look.”
She raised her head and looked in the direction of Liu Yun Kingdom not far away. Her eyes were firm, with an unquestionable choice.
“No matter what we will face this time, we will join with the others in Liu Yun Kingdom and fight together!”
“Alright…”
Feng Tianwu turned back and stared at the woman next to him. He then raised his hand, pulled her into his arms, and said in a voice filled with warmth, “Then, we will go back first. You have not gone back to see the old general for a long time.”
“Mm.”
Nalan Yan nodded faintly.
Before she left, she looked back again at the river in the distance, and finally, without staying much longer, she withdrew her gaze and turned to leave.
When they left, the wind on the hill disappeared, too. The atmosphere returned to being quiet as before, as if nothing had happened…
