Chapter 434 - Everyone Has Their Own Fate (1/2)

The Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Empress exchanged a glance. It couldn't be that the person who had come to report had seen Senior Xin, could it?

Bai Fen leaped to her feet and hurried over, grasping Leng Jin Yu's hands. ”The two men with him … Had one of them white hair and wore a mask covering half his face?”

Leng Jin Yu looked at the hands of the Heavenly Empress before lifting his gaze. ”Yes. There was.”

”That's him!” Bai Fen tightened her grab on Leng Jin Yu. ”Then do you know where he is now?”

Leng Jin Yu thought back to how that man had looked at him. This hate … But he had still sounded as if he definitely had to return to the Yun Zou Sect. Why? Well, at least he was sure about the answer to the Heavenly Empress' question. ”He should still be at that place. I can go and notify him that you wish to see him. I'm just not sure … He didn't seem very amicable. I wouldn't be sure that he agrees to help.”

Bai Fen gave a relieved sigh. ”Don't worry about that. If rumors are true, Senior Xin has always looked a little grumpy. If he knows that this is about our crown prince, he would certainly help. So, please, go and talk to him, yes?”

Leng Jin Yu nodded and turned to the God of War, unobtrusively extricating his hands from the grip of the Heavenly Empress. ”In that case, I should go as soon as possible. May I have a word with the God of War before that?” He cupped his fists and took a deep breath.

He was doing the right thing. If he returned to the Nine Heavens after delivering the message, he would always regret it. He would always ask himself what he would have remembered had he stayed in the Yun Zou Sect longer. He would always wonder if that person and he … could have had a future together that he had destroyed with his own decision.

Qiang Yan observed Leng Jin Yu's expression. The young man had always seemed serious but today … He felt like he was even more resolute than normal. ”Mn. Then I'll take my leave too.” Qiang Yan nodded at his brother-in-law and smiled at his sister and went outside with Leng Jin Yu.

The two of them slowly walked down the steps and followed the road away from the Heavenly Emperor's palace. Neither of them said a word.

Only when they had already reached the next palaces did Qiang Yan clear his throat. ”This isn't just about returning to the mortal realm?”

Leng Jin Yu stopped walking and turned to the God of War. He cupped his fists again and bowed. ”It is about returning to the mortal realm. It's just … when I return this time I'm afraid I won't be coming back.”

Qiang Yan raised his brows. ”Not coming back? What do you mean by that?”
