Chapter 210 Metaphysical True and False Bronze Inscriptions: False Gold 60
The water of Tianchi Lake remained as clear and calm as ever, reflecting the sky and the surrounding mountains like a giant mirror. However, the two people's state of mind was different this time.
The two were not wearing any equipment, but only had water-repelling talismans on them, and went into the water together, arriving at the hidden door.
The guardian beast clearly recognized them; a wave of sound emanated from its body as if it were greeting them.
Shen Chumo gently stroked the scales of the guardian beast, feeling their cold and hard texture, and then walked into the secret door with Shen Qianyu, arriving in front of the World Tree.
The World Tree grew ever more lush, its massive trunk seemingly thicker than before, its branches stretching out in all directions like countless arms, trying to embrace the entire space.
Shen Qianyu gazed at the World Tree with deep emotion in her eyes and said softly, "The World Tree looks to be in good condition. It seems that the rest and recuperation over the past few years has indeed taken effect."
Her gaze gently fell on every part of the World Tree, from its thick trunk to its lush foliage, her eyes filled with relief and joy.
Shen Chumo nodded. "Yes, everything is moving in a positive direction."
She tilted her head slightly, looking up at the sky, her eyes calm.
At that moment, a voice came from the sky, carrying an unquestionable majesty and solemnity.
"You are here."
Shen Qianyu looked up at the sky, "The three-year period has come to an end. Let's keep our promise from that day."
After a moment of silence, the voice in the sky rang out again: "Over the past three years, you and the Xuanmen people have worked together to achieve remarkable results in combating that strange power."
Now, all the strange things in this world have disappeared, and the World Tree, under your protection, has been able to recuperate and flourish as it is today.
You did a great job.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianyu's tense expression relaxed.
The calamities that had befallen the world because of her have finally subsided, and she can finally rest in peace.
"Since that's the case, then I should keep my promise from back then and open the passage back to the world of cultivation for you. Shen Qianyu, if you have anything else to say, please say it."
Shen Qianyu exhaled and turned to look at Shen Chumo.
A faint smile graced her face, a smile that held the memories of the past three years of weathering storms together, a smile that condensed into a unique tenderness.
"Chu Mo, I'm leaving."
Shen Qianyu opened her lips, "These past few years have been an accident for me, but also an invaluable gift."
I thought that after coming back, I would just be back to another mundane life.
She tilted her head slightly, as if lost in memories of the past, her gaze becoming distant and lingering.
"I never expected to meet you, Chu Mo. Although I know you came to my side with a purpose, I am still grateful for your existence."
Shen Chumo smiled lightly, "Knowing I had ulterior motives, why were you willing to take me as your disciple in the first place?"
She tilted her head, her hair falling over her shoulders, her appearance playful yet curious, like a delicate flower just beginning to bloom under the warm spring sun, bright and beautiful.
Shen Qianyu shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. Who told you to be so good-looking? I'm a sucker for good looks, and I can't refuse a request from such a beautiful woman."
After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled. Their clear laughter echoed around Tianchi Lake, dispelling some of their sorrow at parting.
Shen Chumo stepped forward and hugged Shen Qianyu, "Master, maybe we will meet again in the future, you must remember me."
Shen Qianyu hugged Shen Chumo back and patted her back gently, "Don't worry, I won't forget you."
The passage constructed by the Heavenly Dao slowly opened beside Shen Qianyu. The passage was like a gate of light tearing through the void, dazzling and bright. Inside, there was a misty immortal fog, and majestic immortal mountains and beautiful pavilions could be seen faintly, as if calling Shen Qianyu to return.
Shen Qianyu let go of his hand, walked to the front of the passage, her eyes slightly red, and waved to Shen Chumo.
"Goodbye."
Then, Shen Qianyu took a deep breath, resolutely turned around, and stepped into the passage.
Shen Chumo suddenly called out to her, "Wait, Master, I have something for you."
Shen Chumo tossed a jade bottle to Shen Qianyu. After Shen Qianyu caught the bottle, a bright light instantly enveloped her figure, gradually obscuring her.
As the dazzling light slowly faded and disappeared, only Shen Chumo remained, gazing at the empty sky, surrounded by an eerie silence.
The gift Shen Chumo gave to Shen Qianyu was the soul of "Shen Chumo." After she took over Shen Chumo's identity, the original "Shen Chumo's" soul was supposed to be reincarnated.
However, Shen Chumo secretly had Tuanzi contact the Heavenly Dao, and after paying a price, the Heavenly Dao gave her the soul of "Shen Chumo".
Although the Shen family paid a price, "Shen Chumo" did not. She believed that Shen Qianyu would not let that "Shen Chumo" get away with it.
At the same time, Tuanzi's voice rang in Shen Chumo's mind, "Congratulations, Momo, you have completed all the tasks and can leave this world at any time."
Shen Chumo lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Okay, let's go."
Shen Chumo and Shen Qianyu had already told Cheng Tianqi and the others a few days ago that they would not be coming back, so they had no regrets about leaving now.
The next second, Shen Chumo's figure disappeared into the hidden door.
...
When the paper doll on Cheng Tianqi's desk fell to the ground with a thud, Cheng Tianqi knew that his master and senior sister had left.
"Captain, what's wrong with you?"
The members below looked at their captain, whose mood had suddenly turned somber, with questions in their eyes.
Cheng Tianqi waved his hand, "It's alright, this meeting is over, you can leave now."
The members looked at each other, but still dared not disobey Cheng Tianqi's orders, and they left one after another.
Cheng Tianqi lowered her head, holding the paper figure in her palm, tears dripping onto her hand.
"How could... I really be leaving?" Cheng Tianqi murmured to himself, his sobs echoing in the empty conference room.
A few days ago, when his master and senior sister told him that they were leaving, he thought they were just joking with him.
But after they handed him everything from the Xuanmen sect, he suddenly realized that a thunderbolt had struck his heart, shattering his joy into dust, leaving him only bewilderment and disbelief.
"Tianqi, all good things must come to an end, and we all have our own paths to walk. In these three years, you have grown to be outstanding enough, and we are very confident in entrusting the Xuanmen to you."
Remember, the legacy and future of the Xuanmen sect rest on your shoulders. You must protect it well and not let us down.
"Junior brother, haven't you always wanted to be the senior brother and me the junior sister? From now on, you really have to take on the responsibilities of the senior brother. The Xuanmen will have to rely on you, the senior brother, to uphold its reputation."
Their words still echoed in Cheng Tianqi's ears, but, Master, Senior Sister, I don't care about the title of Senior Brother, nor do I care about upholding the reputation of Xuanmen. I just want to stay with you.
Why did you leave me alone? Why didn't you take me with you?
Cheng Tianqi cried out silently in her heart, tears uncontrollably rolling down her cheeks and splashing onto the ground.
