After resting for a night in the River of Forgetfulness, Phiona felt much better. In the morning, Ah Li sent Young Feng some clothes. Ah Li was the chief housekeeper of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion. However, she was only a twenty-three-year-old woman, so her ability was needless to say.
"Xiao Feng, after this year, does this place still hurt?”Xi Mu pointed at the heart.
"It doesn't seem to hurt that much anymore!" Xiao Feng said softly. The faint smile that followed made people feel very lonely.
"Young Feng, stop torturing yourself.”Xiao Qiao hugged Xiao Feng, a faint worry rising between her brows.
"Yes, I won't. There is nothing that cannot be overcome, but we can never go back to the past. Since I can't give up and forget, I might as well let nature take its course. Perhaps one day, I will forget those thoughts while I can't forget them.”
Xi Mu and Xiao Qiao sent Xiao Feng out of the River of Forgetfulness. Outside, Phoenix Perch Pavilion's carriage was already parked.
After entering the Perched Phoenix Pavilion, everyone was waiting for Young Feng in the reception hall. Seeing Phiona and Li come in together, Moonfall happily ran towards Phiona and gave her a big hug."" Young Feng, you're finally back. I missed you so much..." Moonfall kept talking, and the rest of the people laughed speechlessly. Young Feng hugged Yue Luo.”Although Moonfall was very long-winded, Young Feng felt very warm. It had been a long time since he had felt this way. Nie Xiaofeng, Nie Xiaofeng, you don't care about yourself, those people don't care about you, but everyone here cares about you in their hearts. What right do you have to not love yourself? From now on, don't be entangled in the past. You've already died once, what else can you not let go of? Young Feng secretly made up her mind to live well for these people who cared about her.
Because of Young Feng's return, the Phoenix Perch Pavilion gradually became lively. Even Mu Jin and Su Yiheng, who usually preferred quietness to noise, came to the reception hall every day to chat and laugh with these young people.
It seemed like this was the case. The more you avoided something, the more you couldn't get around it. When you made up your mind to face it seriously, perhaps it would no longer be difficult for you. After returning, Young Feng didn't wake up from her dreams often, nor did she suffer from insomnia every night like before. She would still think of that snow-white dress in the dead of night or when her thoughts drifted away. However, her heart would no longer be in the same heart-wrenching pain as before. She would throw away the pain and unwillingness, leaving only the warmth that had been stranded for many years.
Looking at the lively family in the reception hall, Young Feng picked up the tea and took a sip. She wasn't as afraid of the liveliness as she used to be. She looked up and saw the warm sunset shining on the courtyard. It was so soft that it made her dizzy. Master, will I slowly forget you one day…No matter how deep the love is, if there is only one person who insists on it, it will not last forever. Forgetting is the beginning of aging. I will grow old too. If I really forget you, will you be really happy? Knowing that Liang Yu and Luo Xuan were together, Young Feng sighed. Master, will you come here when I'm old? Thinking of this, Young Feng laughed at herself." Nie Xiaofeng, Luo Xuan doesn't care about you. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way…" Xiaofeng collected her thoughts and began to talk to Yueluo and the others about how to celebrate the upcoming Lantern Festival…
After resting in the inn for a night, Liang Yu, Luo Xuan, and the other five people went to Shangguan Castle the next morning. Although Liang Yu did not like Shangguan Castle, it was not bad to see the strength of these martial artists. Moreover, she heard that Fang Zhaonan would come. The person who had injured her aunt with the Snowflake Divine Sword and dared to cripple her aunt's martial arts. She wanted to see what he was capable of.
Shangguan Honglie was very happy about the arrival of his grandson Shen Yinan, who had been away from home for many years: "Brother Luo, I didn't expect you to meet Yi Nan. I haven't seen him for many years.”Shangguan Honglie saw Shen Yinan's dignified appearance and comforted her.
" Brother Shangguan, we also met by chance. Young Master Shen is really young and talented..." Luo Xuan praised Shen Yinan.
"Brother Luo is too kind. This must be Miss Jiang Xue.”Shangguan Honglie looked at Jiang Xue, who was standing beside Luo Xuan, and also praised her. Back then, she was able to abandon the dark and follow orders to deal with Nie Xiaofeng. She was definitely not an ordinary woman. Luo Xuan only smiled. He was still satisfied with the crimson snow.
"This young lady and this young master are?”Shangguan Honglie knew that Luo Xuan only had two daughters, and Xuan Shuang and Fang Zhaonan were already in the hall. They couldn't be Luo Xuan's children. Moreover, these two were definitely not ordinary people. Not to mention their noble temperament and extraordinary clothes, just this child who was probably less than ten years old had a high-level martial arts. His breathing was slow, his eyes were clear, and his temples were slightly protruding. It seemed that he was not simple. Although this woman couldn't tell her martial arts, her eyes were very cold and she had a sense of alienation that ordinary girls didn't have.
"Oh, Grandpa, I was careless. They are my friends. This is Liang Yu, and this is her younger brother, Nian 'er. Liang Yu, this is my grandfather, Shangguan Honglie, who is known as the hero of Jianghu.”Shen Yi Nan happily introduced Liang Yu to her family.
"Miss Liangyu, young master Nian 'er is indeed extraordinarily handsome!”Shangguan Honglie said to Liang Yu with a smile. However, Liang Yu only glanced at Shangguan Honglie and didn't say anything. This made Shangguan Honglie feel awkward. Shen Yinan knew that Liang Yu hated the people of Shangguan Castle, so she smiled and said to Shangguan Honglie,"Grandpa, Liang Yu's personality is like this. She doesn't like to talk to strangers.”Shangguan Honglie only smiled awkwardly. It seemed that Liang Yu had a lot of opinions about Shangguan Castle. This was the first time someone had ignored her like this. Moreover, she was a little girl. What a failure. However, Yi Nan seemed to have deep feelings for her. Silly boy, you have to suffer.
"Brother Luo, the martial arts competition is about to begin. I'll go to the front first. Your son-in-law, Young Master Fang, is also at the front desk." Shangguan Honglie was ready to leave the reception hall to greet the people in the martial arts arena.
"Alright, we'll be right there. Brother Shangguan, you can go take care of the dojo.”Luo Xuan said.
After Shangguan Honglie arrived, he arranged the seats of the various sects and announced the rules of the martial arts competition. Then, the martial arts competition officially began. The people from the various sects went up to the stage and began to compare. She did not seem to have much interest in the martial arts competition on the stage. In the afternoon, Nian 'er was already sleepy and began to look around in boredom. Seeing that her sister Liang Yu's mind was not on the martial arts arena, Nian' er climbed up from the chair and sat on Liang Yu's body. After sitting down, she was like a lazy cat."Sister, I'm so bored! These people's martial arts were too lousy!”Nian 'er's soft, childlike voice was very cute, but when his words reached Luo Xuan's ears, he was a little surprised. Even though he could tell that Nian' er's skills were extraordinary, he had never seen anyone evaluate a martial artist like that, let alone a child.?Liang Yu helped Nian 'er tidy her hair and said softly,""Nian 'er, you only need to look at a person's martial arts routine.”
"Why do you want me to practice martial arts? It's fine if I have four masters, but sister, you have to practice as well! "Practicing martial arts is very tiring. Mother is still the best. I never tire myself out. I miss Mother so much…" Nian 'er hugged Liang Yu's neck like an octopus and acted coquettishly. Her face was full of grievances.
"Nian 'er, back then, he was the one who crippled my aunt's martial arts. Who was the one who said that she would protect Gugu for the rest of her life and not let anyone hurt her, huh?”Liang Yu knew that Nian 'er had been practicing martial arts since she was three years old. Because she was born with good bones, her four masters fought to practice martial arts in Agarwood Valley. It was not easy for her not to practice martial arts every day, which made him very happy.
"Yes, sister, I was wrong." After listening to Liang Yu's explanation, Nian 'er understood why her sister had come to Shangguan Castle, so she became serious.
Although Fang Zhaonan was not a martial arts prodigy, he was diligent and studious. He had the martial arts secret manual that Luo Xuan had given him, so his martial arts had improved greatly. However, the Snowflake Divine Sword could not be understood by others. Perhaps it was as Luo Xuan had said, if one wanted to master this set of sword techniques, hard work alone would not be enough. Fang Zhaonan and Shen Yinan stood on the last ring. Both of them seemed to be determined to take this position. However, Fang Zhaonan was protecting the martial arts world for his dream, while Shen Yinan was protecting it for Liang Yu's sake. Of course, becoming the leader of the martial arts world was also his dream. It should be the dream of every martial artist.
"Brother Fang, this seat is mine!”Shen Yinan still didn't look serious.
"Brother Shen, please." Fang Zhaonan still looked silly.
Seeing that they had started, Liang Yu told Nian 'er to pay attention to Fang Zhaonan's martial arts moves and routines. Nian' er was also very serious. He had a photographic memory since he was young, so he naturally saw the fight very clearly.
Because they both used their full strength, the fight on the stage was very thrilling. Not to mention Fang Zhaonan, Shen Yinan was the last disciple of the Mei Ling old man, so the atmosphere was very tense. Luo Xuan praised Fang Zhaonan's martial arts progress and Shen Yinan's martial arts skills. Shangguan Honglie was even more delighted to see his grandson so outstanding. The Jiang Xuan sisters were all thinking about Fang Zhaonan. Seeing that Shen Yi Nan didn't seem to be relaxed, Liang Yu also had a trace of worry. When Nian 'er saw that Fang Zhaonan had finished using the full set of Snowflake Divine Swords, she said to Liang Yu,""Elder sister, the Snowflake Divine Sword is indeed very wondrous, but he…not good. It would be good if he could use 60% of the power of 10% of the power. He wasn't worthy of his mother. I want to defeat him with my own hands."
"The Snowflake Divine Sword is good, but this sword technique requires two people to practice together in order to unleash its greatest power.”Liang Yu comforted Nian 'er,""Be good, everyone didn't dote on you for nothing!"
Upon hearing Liang Yu's conversation, Luo Xuan suddenly had a very strange feeling, but he did not know what it was for a moment. However, how did they know the secret of the Snowflake Divine Sword? Although he had used the Snowflake Divine Sword to defeat Phiona last time, he had already ordered the people present not to publicize this matter. Not many people in the martial arts world knew the details of this matter. Liang Yu was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. It seemed that he had to investigate her background.
"Liangyu, how did you know about the Snowflake Divine Sword? As far as I know, very few people in Jianghu know about this.”Luo Xuan asked Liang Yu with a smile.
"This has nothing to do with you. Moreover, just because few people knew about it didn't mean that no one knew.”Liang Yu replied indifferently. She didn't want Luo Xuan to get involved in Phiona's life again. She didn't want Phiona to get hurt again. Liang Yu didn't want to tell Luo Xuan about Phiona's existence.
Knowing that it was useless to ask more, Luo Xuan stopped and smiled self-deprecatingly. This woman was really like her name. She was really a cold unpolished jade.
In the end, Fang Zhaonan was no match for him, and Shen Yinan took the throne of the Alliance Master. Before Shangguan Honglie could announce it, Shen Yinan shouted at Liang Yu,"Liangyu, I won! How is it? Can I be with you now?”Everyone looked in the direction that Shen Yinan was facing and saw a stunning woman sitting there. It was as if she had guessed something. Everyone praised her for being a perfect match.
"However, I still don't like the people in the martial arts world, especially those from the seven great sects. I won't bring the martial arts world's leader with me, and it's even more impossible for me to bring him back to the Phoenix Perch Pavilion.”Liang Yu slowly stood up and smiled at Shen Yi Nan.
Cold Jade's words made everyone furious. Most of the people present were from the seven great sects. Cold Jade had openly opposed them, and it was in such an occasion. It seemed that she had come with ill intentions.
"But, didn't you want me to take over the position of alliance leader?”Shen Yinan didn't understand Liangyu's capriciousness.
"Then, are you willing to give up this position for me?”Liang Yu said seriously, Shen Yinan, only if you know how to do it, will I dare to like you? "Back then, Luo Xuan gave up on my aunt for the sake of the martial arts world and the righteous path. I want to know if you will be like Luo Xuan and take these things as important. At this moment, Liang Yu was also very nervous. Although she didn't say that she liked him, she couldn't deny that she was tempted, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have let him walk with him for so long.
Hearing Liang Yu's words, Shen Yi Nan was stunned for a moment. Liang Yu wanted him to choose between Jiang Hu and her, could he?
It was even more chaotic below as they all blamed Liang Yu. Luo Xuan and Shangguan Honglie were also shocked by Liang Yu's words. What was this woman trying to do? Shangguan Honglie walked up to Liang Yu." Miss Liang Yu, I can see that Yi Nan likes you. But you're going too far. Are you joking?" This wasn't something a child could joke about.”
Liang Yu ignored Shangguan Honglie and looked at Shen Yinan: "I understand. I don't blame you. Thank you for accompanying me on the road these past few days. I'm very happy. There were some things that one should not force oneself to do. There were some paths that did not belong to oneself that one could not walk on in the end. See you again, Shen Yinan." Liang Yu smiled faintly, and everyone seemed to fall into a devilish silence. It was as if they no longer had the heart to blame her for being unreasonable, because in her smile, there seemed to be 30% self-mockery and 70% loneliness, like a child who had lost her happiness.
Under everyone's gaze, Liang Yu held Nian 'er's hand and left without looking back.
Seeing Liang Yu walk further and further away, Shen Yi Nan suddenly shouted," Liang Yu, don't go. I don't want to be the leader of the martial arts world. Liang Yu..." Shen Yinan ignored Shangguan Honglie's attempts to stop her and ran in the direction where Liang Yu had disappeared. Looking at Shen Yinan's disappearing figure, Jiang Xue suddenly felt that somewhere in her heart was moved.
