The woman walked until she reached the shore The rain fell around her, but didn’t touch her clothing at all She was beautiful, and had the aura of a cultivator, which gave her an otherworldly grace

Her face was cold, and she was frowning A bitter look could be seen in her eyes, and she seereat anxiety and confusion within her heart

She was Xu Qing

She had been searching for Meng Hao for … She was thinner than before, more lean

She had followed her heart until she found this lake, which was also her forht sight of aged Meng Hao There was soed directions and headed over toward the log cabin

“Are you the boat him over Her face was filled with an expression that could cause one’s heart to trehed inwardly

Xu Qing’s voice was cal Hao’s appearance had changed far too much Even people very fa hi ’s frown deepened “Have you seen anyone else pass through here?” she asked She had searched for a hundred years, and had failed repeatedly, yet had never given up If he was alive, she wanted to see him If he was dead, she wanted to see the corpse If she couldn’t find hi

Her personality was siave her such deter that if she couldn’t find Meng Hao, then perhaps…she wouldn’t ever be able to find her way in life again

“I haven’t seen anyone,” replied Meng Hao levelly, shaking his head His voice was hoarse, and sounded nothing like it had before He was happy to be able to see Xu Qing, but he didn’t want her to realize who he was, not when he looked like this

What was the point? It would just lead to her waiting for him outside once of the Rebirth Cave Then, if he never came back out, she would becolooet about each other…?

Xu Qing looked around the area, and then sighed inwardly After scanning Meng Hao with Divine Sense, all she had seen was afaive him a second look over

“Have we met before?” she asked

“No,” he replied with the shake of a head

She gazed at hi moment, and a complex look appeared in her eyes The intense coh her body

“She… started out incorruptible It was …”

Finally, he spoke up, his voice soft “Hold on”

Xu Qing trembled, and after a moment of silence, she nodded

“I saw soo,” he said, his voice hoarse “He lived here for about a year, after which… he died and was buried He said this place was his ho He said that if anyone ca” With that, he pulled a bag of holding out of his robe and placed it off to the side

As Xu Qing stood there in the rain, the water began to seep past the invisible barrier and soak her clothes She stared deeply at Meng Hao, then walked back and looked blankly at the bag of holding As she picked it up, tears filled her eyes

A bitter s Hao Finally, she turned and headed once again out into the rain, taking the bag of holding with her

As he watched her leaving, his expression was co walked about seven steps before she stopped She didn’t look back, but when she spoke, her voice echoed out in all directions

“I ht be not be very s Hao didn’t say anything for aHowever, sometimes it doesn’t matter what is true and what is false So Hao had hoped that instead of torh all eternity, she could at least cut him off After that, she could return to her incorruptible self, siet…

He closed his eyes, and his heart filled with pain

Xu Qing was quiet for a while, but finally, she smiled It was a sret…

She lifted her hand, and the glow of a sword flew out It stabbed into the ground, sharp and powerful, rapidly carving out a deep, rectangular pit
