After protecting Shi'er's remnant soul with magic power, Chen Nan is about to return to the eternal palace.
However--
"Brother, it's been a while since we drank together."
A familiar laugh came, and Chen Nan's originally depressed mood improved a lot in an instant, with a sincere smile on his face.
Zhao Han was wearing a gray Taoist robe, leaving several afterimages in the air, and appeared in front of Chen Nan.
"Back then, the world was peaceful, and although our cultivation was not high, we had a great time drinking and talking about Taoism. But since the invasion of the demon clan, we brothers have never had a good drink together."
Zhao Han sighed. Although he didn't talk much on weekdays, thinking of those past events at this moment, he couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
Chen Nan nodded: "Yes, after years of fighting, killing people has almost become numb."
"I still miss the time when you and I first met."
Zhao Han threw a pot of wine to Chen Nan, looking at Ningjiang City at the bottom of the cliff, he couldn't help but feel trance-like.
Chen Nan took a sip of wine and joked: "In my opinion, what you miss is not the acquaintance with me, but the person you can't let go of, right?"
Zhao Han smiled bitterly but said nothing.
"I didn't expect that you are a great Taoist ancestor. Everyone in the world thinks that your six roots are pure, but they never thought that when you become infatuated, you are more persistent than the worldly people."
Chen Nan smiled and joked, "Su Yixuan has always been in Donghai Zixiao Palace, and Qingqing often visits her. If you really can't let go, why don't you go see her?"
At that time, Liu Tiantian's father, Liu Zhong, founded Zixiao Palace in the East China Sea.
At that time, Su Yixuan was killed by the Celestials and lost all her memory, so everyone had to place her in the Zixiao Palace. After all, the Zixiao Palace was relatively safe under the invasion of the Celestials.
After Zhao Han pondered for a moment, he shook his head and said: "Although I have obsessions in my heart, I know very well that Su Yixuan only has you in her heart. Over the years, the person who really can't let go of her is not me, but you, right?"
Chen Nan was speechless all the time and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Han shook his head and smiled, and said: "Am I right? Otherwise, over the years, Su Qingqing has wanted to bring you to visit Zixiao Palace time and time again. Why have you refused every time?"
He looked at Chen Nan and continued: "I know that you deliberately distance yourself from Su Yixuan because of me, your brother. But you don't know, even if you let me know about feelings, it's useless. It doesn't belong to me.
After all, this person is not mine. After all these years, she has always had only one person in her heart, and that is you."
Chen Nan fell into silence.
After raising his head and taking a sip of wine, he looked towards the East China Sea and sighed: "Forget it, I will go to the East China Sea Zixiao Palace to find her now."
Zhao Han nodded and said: "You don't have to think about me anymore. My Taoist heart is empty and I have already given up everything."
Chen Nan looked at him deeply, drank the last sip of wine in the pot, and walked into the void toward the East China Sea.
After taking just a few steps, his true body arrived at the gate of Zixiao Palace.
As soon as the sect leader Liu Zhong saw Chen Nan arriving, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and bowed down. Although Chen Nan was his junior, he was now the master of all heavens and realms, and anyone who saw him had to bow down.
"Uncle Liu... No, dad, you are going out now."
Chen Nan hurriedly stepped forward to support him, laughing and saying: "Now that Tiantian and I are married, if I accept your worship, will I be struck by lightning from the sky?"
Liu Zhong laughed and asked, "Tiantian, why didn't you come with me?"
"hey-hey……"
Chen Nan smiled awkwardly, and then stated the purpose of his trip.
When Liu Zhong heard Su Yixuan's name, he immediately understood in his heart, but Chen Nan was now the Emperor of Heaven, and it was normal for the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard, so he couldn't stop him.
Liu Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "She likes to be quiet, so she lives alone in the back hill of Zixiao Palace."
Chen Nan cupped his hands and turned around.
At this moment, on the mountain behind Zixiao Palace, Su Yixuan had just finished meditating and was looking at the endless waves of the East China Sea at the bottom of the mountain in trance.
"You may not have had time before, but now that the world is at peace, you are still nowhere to be seen. It seems that in your heart, I am really just a passerby."
She muttered to herself, with a self-deprecating smile on her lips.
"Perhaps, it was always just wishful thinking on my part."
She shook her head and was about to sit down and continue practicing, but then a pair of big hands silently hugged her from behind, accompanied by a familiar and reassuring breath.
Chen Nan!
He's finally here!
Su Yixuan trembled all over. She had dreamed of this scene in her dreams more than once.
"Sorry, I'm late."
It's still that familiar voice. Even though I haven't heard it for so many years, it still sounds so familiar.
Su Yixuan let him hold her, without turning around, and said, "Do you know, when Qingqing came here before, she asked me to live in the Eternal Heavenly Palace together more than once, but I refused. Do you know the reason?"
"I know."
Chen Nan nodded.
Su Yixuan murmured to herself: "I have been telling myself in my heart that no matter when, even if it takes ten thousand years, as long as you come to me, I will follow you."
Chen Nan felt deeply moved.
However, before he could speak, a familiar voice came from behind -
"Chen Xiaonan! You are so heartless, have you forgotten all about your aunt?"
Chen Nan turned around quickly and saw Concubine Dongfang Yun staring at him with surprise and resentment on her face.
"My beloved concubine!"
Chen Nan swayed, stretched out his hand to hug her and Su Yixuan at the same time, and said excitedly: "I thought you were dead, but it turns out it's great that you are here."
Concubine Dongfang Yun rolled her eyes: "You are so heartless, you didn't come to me on purpose, right? You, the majestic Eternal Emperor, have spiritual consciousness that penetrates all the heavens and worlds, don't you know that I am here?"
Chen Nan shook his head and said: "You don't know something. I have indeed scanned every corner of the heavens and worlds with my spiritual consciousness, and there is no trace of your breath. I always thought that you were no longer in this world. However, near the East China Sea, there are all the four poles.
The center of the world is where the dragon veins are. Even if I am extremely skilled in the world, I still cannot detect your aura. I am too careless."
When Concubine Dongfang Yun heard this, she suddenly understood.
She curled her lips and said, "Even if what you said makes sense, you are too careless to take us at ease!"
"Let's do this, dear concubine. To express my apologies, tonight I will do whatever you want with me in one hundred and eight positions until you are satisfied. How about that?"
"Bah! I'm getting thicker and thicker!"
Concubine Dongfang Yun laughed and cursed, then pointed to the thatched house built by Su Yixuan next to her, and said, "Do you want to know who else is here besides me?"
