Murong Yi waved his hand calmly and said, "It's alright, you've come at the right time. My wife and I were just about to go back." He gently placed his hand on Lin Qianqian's waist, as if declaring some kind of ownership.
Wuming turned to face Lin Qianqian, his eyes instantly filled with an indescribable excitement. His originally serious face softened, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sincere smile.
He knelt on one knee, his voice loud and respectful: "Greetings, Your Highness!" His eyes held both the respect of a subordinate for his master and the joy of a long-awaited reunion.
Lin Qianqian smiled gently and quickly gestured, her tone friendly: "Oh, no need for formalities, get up!" Her eyes were full of concern, as if she were treating an old friend she had known for a long time.
After the ceremony, Wuming's gaze slowly shifted to Xiaodie beside Lin Qianqian.
At that moment, Xiaodie's cheeks flushed crimson, like a ripe apple. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her excitement choked her words, leaving her speechless.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement, her toes unconsciously tiptoeing, and her hands instinctively clutched the hem of her clothes.
Their eyes met, and everything around them seemed to fall silent. Their gazes were filled with deep affection, conveying a thousand unspoken words.
Wuming's eyes were filled with tenderness and longing, while Xiaodie responded to his gaze with a shy yet joyful smile. At that moment, time seemed to stand still for them.
Seeing Xiaodie and Wuming's affectionate expressions, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but empathize. She chuckled, her eyes crinkling with a warm smile, and said first, "Alright, it's getting late, let's go back!" Her voice was clear and crisp, carrying an undeniable decisiveness.
Murong Yi nodded hurriedly and replied, "Mhm!" Her eyes remained fixed on Lin Qianqian, full of obedience.
Wuming scratched his head with his head down, and unconsciously took Xiaodie's hand.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but chuckle. Then she turned to face Xiao Yichen, her gaze gentle, a faint smile on her lips, and said softly, "Brother Xiao, would you... like to come back with us?" Her tone was full of sincere invitation.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yi's face flashed with shock, her eyes widening as she stared at Lin Qianqian in disbelief.
Although he didn't say anything, the slight upturn of his lips and the disdain in his eyes betrayed his inner thoughts.
Xiao Yichen threw his head back and laughed heartily, his cheerful laughter echoing in the air. As he laughed, he waved his hand, his face displaying a carefree and unrestrained expression, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I simply love this beautiful landscape. The martial world is my true home. I can't bear to give up this free and unrestrained life so easily." As he finished speaking, his eyes revealed his longing and love for the martial world.
After hearing this, Lin Qianqian nodded slightly. Although she felt a little regretful, she didn't say anything more. So she bowed slightly and said sincerely, "In that case, I wish Brother Xiao all the best in the future. We'll take our leave now."
Xiao Yichen returned the greeting, then lightly touched the ground with his toes and left like a gust of wind using his lightness skill.
With agile movements and flowing robes, he vanished from sight in a few leaps, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air, as if he had never existed. Only the birdsong echoing through the mountains and forests witnessed this brief encounter and farewell.
