Chapter 56 - Waiting For Someone
Next day morning.
The Su family and many Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood on the long street of Ping Yang Town, bidding their farewell.
In the middle of the long street, one man and one lady stood facing each other.
The man was dressed in a green robe, clean and plain, with a handsome appearance, while the lady wore a long pale yellow dress that reached the ground. Her black hair cascaded down her back. Her complexion was flawless, there was a touch of melancholy in her sparkling eyes.
“Zimo, are you really not leaving with me? Even if you can’t join Azure Frost Sect, given your capabilities, you will have great achievements at Great Zhou,” Ji Yaoxue said softly.
“No.”
Su Zimo smiled, “I am used to leading an unbridled life. I am unaccustomed to the rules and regulations of the palace.”
…
Ping Yang Town.
Su Hong and others were about to return to the capital with the army of the Country of Yan.
“Zimo, why don’t you stay in the capital with me for a period of time?”
Now that Su Hong was going to the capital, he would not be returning to Ping Yang Town anytime soon. He was worried at leaving Su Zimo behind by himself.
“Brother, you should go now. I will stay in Ping Yang Town for a while before I embark upon an adventure. You don’t have to worry about me,” Su Zimo said.
Su Hong frowned. “There is no one at the Su family’s residence and we don’t have any acquaintances in Ping Yang Town. You are by yourself…”
“I am not alone.” Su Zimo smiled.
“Mmm?” Su Hong was surprised.
Su Zimo did not explain. Instead he gave Su Hong a pound on the chest, smiling. “You should hurry to the capital now. There is no need to worry about me. If there’s a chance, I will go to the capital to visit all of you.”
“Alright, we will leave now.”
Su Hong mounted the horse and nodded towards Su Zimo. Under the protection of the Country of Yan’s army. Su Hong and the others of the Su family left for the capital, galloping away.
The cold wind howled. Su Zimo walked on the empty long street amidst the wind and snow, looking lonely and desolate from the back.
Xiaoning had left, so had Su Hong.
Everyone seemed to have left him within a day.
When Su Zimo reached his own mansion and he pushed the door open, the wind and snow seemed to have stopped and he could feel a sense of warmth rushing toward him.
There seemed to be a lady in a bloody red robe standing under the peach blossom tree. It seemed real and yet ethereal, as she turned to smile at him.
Su Zimo was not alone and he did not feel lonely.
When he came back to his mansion, it was as if Die Yue was by his side, watching him cultivate as usual, kicking and beating him occasionally.
Su Zimo smiled and closed the door.
Su Zimo had no intention of leaving Ping Yang Town right away.
He was waiting.
He was waiting for someone.
Just like that night one and a half years ago…
