Wei Yiyi, who was standing by the side, was stunned; she had followed her master for three years but she had never seen her reveal such a smile. This smile was beautiful enough to shake the human heart.

　　“I’m going to Heaven City to meet the Xia family.” The young girl’s face was shrouded in a faint glow as her bright eyes flashed with longing and guilt.

　　Yu’er, it has been three years, I can finally go and look for you now. You must wait for me. This lifetime, I will not let you suffer the same kind of pain as you did in the previous life.

　　“Heaven City?” Dongfang Shaoze furrowed his brows, “The power of the Heaven City and the Dongfang family’s are not too much different from one another. Yun’er, I don’t know how you are connected to the Xia family but if someone is troubling you, you can let me know through Elder Yu. No matter what, the Xia family must not disrespect the Dongfang family.”

　　“I understand.”

　　Gu Ruoyun nodded her head lightly. The most urgent thing now was that she must find a way to get the Heaven City token. Before anything else, she would need to make a trip to Black Tortoise Country…

　　…

　　After Dongfang Shaoze had said his farewells and left, Gu Ruoyun returned to the inner courtyard. Just as she walked in, she was pulled into an embrace by a pair of hands. The man’s silver hair fell forward as his red robes fluttered in the wind like a bewitching ghost. His arms cradled the young girl before him tightly as if he was afraid that she might suddenly vanish.

　　Gu Ruoyun did not resist and allowed the man to draw her into his embrace. After a long while, his quiet voice sounded in her ear, “Are you leaving?”

　　“Yes.”

　　Gu Ruoyun nodded her head as she replied in a quiet voice.

　　“Can I not come along with you?” The man’s voice was laced with resentment and a deep sadness.

　　“Xiao Ye, this time I’ll be searching for someone who is very important to me. I will be back very soon. Wait for me here, alright?”

　　Someone very important?

　　The man’s arms gradually loosened and his expression was full of resentment as he looked at Gu Ruoyun. He looked at Gu Ruoyun as though she was someone who was abandoning her family. His breathtakingly gorgeous face was full of grief. For some unknown reason, when he heard that she was going to search for someone very important to her, his heart had started to ache. That heartache… It was as though he had experienced it before…

　　“Xiao Ye,” Gu Ruoyun smiled gently and said, “I’m also not too sure about the matter this time, and even more so I do not know if he is the person that I’m looking for. But in any case, I need to make a trip there. In my heart, Zixie, you, and my brother Yu’er, are all very important to me. If anyone of you ever got lost, I would go to the ends of the earth to get you back. I’m not letting you come with me this time because the token to enter Heaven City is much more difficult to obtain. Other than the great families in Heaven City, any outsider would only be able to enter at the price of a token per person. If it is only one token, I can still think of a way to get it but to obtain two, I’m afraid, is going to be a bit more difficult.”

　　Qianbei Ye, who had been full of resentment at first, after hearing Gu Ruoyun’s explanation, his divinely beautiful face lit up with a smile. Did Xiao Yun mean that he was also very important to her?

　　“Alright, Xiao Yun, I will wait for you. No matter if it’s ten years, twenty years or a hundred years, I will wait for you here.”

　　Even if a lifetime was exhausted, he would still be waiting for her here…

　　“Master, when will you be leaving?”

　　Wei Yiyi rubbed her nose. It figures that Qianbei Ye, who could make his enemies tremble, would only reveal this innocent appearance before Gu Ruoyun.

　　“I’ll be leaving immediately.”

　　Gu Ruoyun pondered for a moment, raised her head and said, “Wei Yiyi, after I have gone, bring Uncle Luo and Luo Yin to the Devil Sect’s headquarters and arrange a position for them.”

　　Saying thus, she lifted her head to look up at the skies and in the dimness, she seemed to see a young boy’s shy smile…

　　“Yu’er, wait for your big sister. I’ll be able to find you very soon and after that, the two of us, sister and brother, will never be separated again.”
