Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1622 - 1516: Take Care
"Huh, where is the First-class Hall?" Lin Zhao Yun wanted to take another look at the potion but couldnโt find it anymore.
"I just placed it on the table." Xiao Qing searched the table but still couldnโt find it. ๐ง๐๐๐๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฃ๐๐๐ท๐๐.๐ค๐ฐ๐
"Exactly. I saw Xiaoqing place it on the table too, how did it disappear so quickly? Well, true treasures truly belong to those with virtue, who knows where it flew off to." Song Yun let out a deep sigh. Years later, when Li Shishi, Xia Tian, Qingluan, and the other girls chatted idly, Song Yun once gifted me the โFirst-class Hall,โ saying there are only two drops in the world because I matter the most to him, then the truth of this case surfaced. The virtuous person referred to was โSong Yun,โ and the supposed rarity of two drops in the world was just Song Yun slightly altering what the elder told him.
Seeing the doubtful expressions of the two women, Song Yun quickly changed the subject: "Senior Sister Zhaoyun, Xiaoqing and I will be leaving tomorrow."
"Leaving? So soon?" Lin Zhao Yunโs face suddenly turned gloomy, she said with reluctance. From childhood to adulthood, she got along best with Song Yun; due to her poor health, others didnโt want to play with her, only Song Yun was willing to accompany her. Once he left, sheโd have to return to a life alone, but it was fine, she didnโt have many years left anyway.
"Yes." Song Yun nodded. "Matters of the sect will be temporarily handled by Master and Shadow, there are some issues outside to deal with, and I wonโt be back soon." Song Yun noticed Lin Zhao Yunโs expression, and felt saddened as well. All feasts must come to an end, wanting to stay together forever, what method is there?
"Then when will you return?" Lin Zhao Yun asked with concern. This junior brother runs off for years; sheโs afraid by the time he returns again, she might not be here anymore. Ha-ha, wondering if heโd cry standing by her grave. She hasnโt seen him cry yet.
"Senior Sister, why donโt you come with me?" Song Yun stared at her, asking.
"Weโll talk about it later, youโre not particularly free right now either."
"Okay, once Iโve taken care of everything, Iโll find a big, big house and bring you all out."
"Okay." Only then did Lin Zhao Yun cheer up.
"Senior Sister, take care of your health." Song Yun looked at Lin Zhao Yun, earnestly saying.
"Mm." Lin Zhao Yun nodded. "Song Yun, when you leave, donโt forget to say goodbye to Qianxue. Last time you left without a word and went away for so many years, this time donโt do that again. Your relationship with her used to be the best apart from Xia Tian and Qingcheng; we all thought youโd... become like this now. Itโs understandable she blames you too, what you did was too much."
Song Yun saw Xiao Qingโs peculiar look and touched his nose with a smile. "Alright, Iโll go say goodbye to her tonight."
Thinking of that cold woman towards him, Song Yun had a headache. He left without saying a word before; the little lady even went out to look for him, yet he concealed himself from her for years. Song Yun thought she would hate him greatly, yet she was still helping him everywhere. During the sectโs turmoil, many people were dissatisfied with Song Yun, the new Sect Leader, for his treatment of the Elder Council and intending to abolish it. Many were cleaned up due to her persuading her master to remain neutral and her providing much information.
Another woman who bestowed great favor upon him, which he couldnโt repay. Tonight, he would repay by offering his life in return.
Lin Qianxue and her master had a separate small courtyard, no one stopped Song Yun when he went there. Not to mention his close relationship with Lin Qianxue, some of the seniors still remembered him despite the years.
Moreover, as Sect Leader now, those guys had to earn their living under him. Recently, he cleaned up many, and the Elder Council vanished completely. Song Yunโs iron-fist tactics did scare some people within the sect.
Privately, someone had already nicknamed him "Butcher Sect Leader."
Someone told him this nickname, he almost cried, dragged the person and explained for a long time that all these were instructed by the elder, but they didnโt believe him. Previously, Azure Dragon focused only on Taoism, ignoring worldly matters; the elder had been in place for so many years without making any moves, and once Song Yun returned, he started the slaughter. Gaining the advantage and still complaining, already a Sect Leader, unwilling to bear any notoriety, yet pushing it onto his masterโs shoulders.
If the guy wasnโt of high seniority, Song Yun would have "harmonized" him too. Damn, Song Yun wished he could make the guy shut up permanently.
Song Yun walked straight through the main hall corridor, stood at Lin Qianxueโs door, knocked on the door, but received no response. Great, that was precisely what Song Yun hoped for. He reached down, picked up a stick, and pried the door open effortlessly, no challenge whatsoever.
He gently pushed the door and entered, the room was empty. Song Yun closed the door and surveyed Lin Qianxueโs unadorned and serene room. Lin Qianxue was also a person who cherishes the past; despite all the years gone by, the room hadnโt changed much. The whole layout was reminiscent of childhood. Only some clothes and furniture had increased in size.
Song Yun walked to Lin Qianxueโs bedside, a faint fragrance greeted him. Light and not overpowering, very reminiscent of Lin Qianxueโs personality, quite pleasant. Song Yun stepped forward, touching Lin Qianxueโs blanket, pillow, bed curtain, bedpost โComplete Tang Poems.โ
He heard the sound of water from the bathroom, loud as if deliberately warning the little thief outside not to go too far. Song Yun knew the little junior sister must be taking a bath inside, and he walked over with quiet steps, pondering what excuse to use.
"Junior sister, are you inside? If not, Iโm coming in, Iโm desperate, need to borrow the restroom."
"Ah, how did I sleepwalk here? Where am I? Itโs so familiar, thereโs a door here, letโs open and see if it leads to paradise."
"Junior sister, run quickly, your house might catch fire!"
"Oh, so weird junior sister, to meet you in your bathroom."
"Wow, junior sister, what a coincidence, youโre taking a bath too?"
Song Yun was considering which trick wouldnโt get him kicked out when Lin Qianxueโs cool voice came through. "If you dare come in, Iโll kill you."
"Wow, junior sister, youโre so manly." Song Yun spoke with a face full of admiration.
"Besides you, no one dares enter my room without my permission." Inside came Lin Qianxueโs voice, intentionally suppressing anger.
"Hey, I knocked, no one answered. I was afraid someone might steal, so I came in for a look." Song Yun worked hard to defend himself.
"Youโre the biggest thief." Lin Qianxue felt her anger rising. Whenever she saw this man, her usual calm would be disrupted; never met such an annoying fellow.
"He-he, junior sister, youโre flattering. Junior sister really cooperates, as soon as I arrived you undressed... taking a bath..."
"......"
"Junior sister, why arenโt you speaking?"
"......"
"Junior sister, I think chatting across the door adds a romantic touch, right......"
"......"
"Junior sister, if youโre not wanting to talk, could you at least acknowledge with an โmmhโ or โoh,โ I find talking alone quite boring."
"......"
"Alright then. If junior sister doesnโt want to mind me, I wonโt force it. Iโm leaving tomorrow and came tonight to say goodbye to junior sister. Iโm sleepy. Going to sleep. Junior sister take care." Song Yun yawned. His footsteps gradually receded, the door creaked open and shut, leaving no further sounds.
Lin Qianxue sat there dazed, letting the chill settle over her body. She wanted to call him to stop but didnโt know what reason to use; she wished to tell him to take care yet when her mouth opened, no words came forth.
