At the last moment, Qingqing turned back. Chu Xuan could see the tears and reluctance in her eyes, along with a hint of something else, but he was powerless and could only clench his fists tightly.
As Qingqing herself said, the Li'an Demon Sect is her home. Could she really never return for her entire life?
There would be chances to meet again in the future, surely.
"Let's go."
First, it was parting with Pei Shurou, and now with Qingqing. Without even a proper farewell with either, Chu Xuan felt a bit disheartened as he flew further into the depths of the East Sea.
Gu Haitang quickly followed. She could tell that Chu Xuan was not in a good mood but didn't ask further.
She just thought to herself that she must comfort him well on the road ahead, and she shouldn't be as "troublesome" as before.
Coincidentally, the direction they were heading was precisely where the Li'an Demon Sect had originally been.
