Wind Sweeps, Clouds Move.
Between heaven and earth, a heavy atmosphere lingered.
The Dragon Boat slowly rose, yet not a single person present paid it any attention.
Gong Xueyi, having received permission from Gong Zang Tian, stood before Qin Tian, under the furious gazes of Su Yu, Xiang Qingshan, and Ye Jingxian.
She moved away from the Dragon Boat and approached Qin Tian.
Two people.
Only a foot apart.
Qin Tian could even catch a faint scent of Gong Xueyi's delicate fragrance.
"Foolish. Even though I must leave, you don't need to say such things."
For the first time, tears filled Gong Xueyi's eyes.
No one could be oblivious to the heart-wrenching resilience she displayed.
How could she possibly be unaware?
Perhaps the strength of the former was not as great as that of her suitors in the Central Continent.
However, his effort and talent would definitely not be inferior to theirs.
She believed that as long as Qin Tian did not give up,
one day he would reach the pinnacle and trample all those who looked down on him beneath his feet.
She.
Unconditionally believed!
"Xueyi, perhaps before I didn't know whether my feelings for you were truly love. But at this moment, I finally understand... in this lifetime, I will marry no one but you."
Qin Tian's voice carried the resilience of youth.
It resonated powerfully.
As his words fell, silence enveloped the world.
Whether it was the Outer Sect Disciples or the Inner Sect Disciples,
even Xiang Qingshan and Ye Jingxian, who were seated on the Dragon Boat,
and Su Yu, who stood in the void.
Everyone was stunned.
They couldn't understand why this boy, who had almost nothing so far, dared to say such things!
"Shameless."
Su Yu clenched his fists, his face flushed red.
"Gong Xueyi is just deceived by his nonsense. Uncle Master, I want to fight him. I want Gong Xueyi to know who the real strong one is. These words should come from me. He is not worthy!"
Filled with anger, he looked at Gong Zang Tian beside him, hoping that Gong Zang Tian would allow him.
But to his surprise, Gong Zang Tian slowly shook his head.
To be honest, if he had previously shown no interest in Qin Tian and even thought of him as an arrogant little brat, now he finally confirmed otherwise.
Qin Tian indeed has the potential to become a Supreme Champion.
He is quite similar to the person he once was.
Both were so unaware of their own limitations.
The only difference is that he emerged from a pile of corpses.
It remains uncertain whether the latter can navigate the thorny path of the strong and ultimately reach the summit.
To become a Supreme Champion like himself.
Unfortunately!
He would never witness that young man reach the pinnacle.
Seven years.
Even someone as experienced as Gong Zang Tian could say with absolute certainty.
The latter could never become an unparalleled powerhouse in such a short time.
The person he once was took no less than a thousand years.
Perhaps, when reality has worn down his sharp edges.
He would finally understand how ridiculous his actions had been in this day and age.
People.
There will always be regrets.
This hazy relationship might become the most memorable thing of his life!
Gong Zang Tian sighed and turned to leave.
He returned to the Dragon Boat.
"My time is running out. Seven years from now, no matter what happens, I will steer this great ship. By then, I will no longer have the right to interfere with my own feelings."
Gong Xueyi lowered her head, always presenting herself as brave.
At this moment, tears streamed down her face.
"I will wait for you in the Central Continent for seven years. If you can't find me after seven years, I will remember you for a lifetime. Thank you for accompanying me during this time; you have given me the happiest six months of my life."
As her words fell, she suddenly smiled.
Yet, the tears at the corners of her eyes had not yet been wiped away.
Qin Tian gently raised his right hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
His gaze softened as he looked at her.
"Fool, no matter where you are, I will find you. Not only will I catch up to your pace, but I will also make you look up to me..."
A smile crept onto Qin Tian's lips as he tried hard to suppress the sadness in his heart.
He put on a cheerful facade.
"Because I want to protect you, to be the sturdy tree you can rely on. Girl, don't be too strong; no matter how fierce the storm, let me handle it!"
The two embraced each other.
After a long while.
"Xueyi, it's time for you to come back. You've wasted so much time here; when we return, I will help you raise your Cultivation level. This place is not suitable for nurturing a Supreme Champion."
A figure clad in red appeared behind Gong Xueyi.
Though the words were directed at Gong Xueyi, his piercing gaze was fixed directly on Qin Tian.
Provocation!
Especially the words "Supreme Champion" when spoken.
It made Qin Tian's breath quicken significantly.
"Qin Tian, you must come find me. You must..."
A flicker of emotion passed over Gong Xueyi's stunning face.
She, who had always been strong, was showing a more vulnerable side for the first time today.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find you. By then, no one will be able to stop us."
Qin Tian's gentle gaze fell into Gong Xueyi's eyes.
A warmth surged in her heart.
However, deep within his dark pupils, there was a glimmer of tears.
Gong Xueyi left, personally escorted back by Gong Zang Tian to the Dragon Boat.
Su Yu, however, did not leave.
"Give up! You and her are like two parallel lines. Fate's mockery has given you a ridiculous intersection. But what comes after?
Heh, if you want her to be happy, let her go! You can't give her what she wants. Because you are not worthy!"
Su Yu smirked, a hint of mockery on his lips, just as he had when he first laid eyes on Qin Tian.
In his view, Qin Tian was no more than an ant.
Even the most powerful leader of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect was merely at the same level of cultivation as he was.
Half a step into Reincarnation.
He certainly had enough confidence.
"In the coming years, take good care of her. If I find that even a single hair is missing when I finally locate her, I will hold you accountable!"
Qin Tian's lips curled into a determined smile as he turned to leave.
Su Yu was momentarily stunned by Qin Tian's words.
Brazen.
Shameless.
Why did this guy always act as if he feared nothing in the world?
Did he not realize that even the strongest member of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect was only at the same cultivation level as himself?
Was he not afraid that he might kill him with a single strike?
Su Yu, clenching his fists in anger, ultimately had to relent.
He wanted to appear magnanimous in front of Gong Xueyi.
Naturally, he could never kill Qin Tian with one blow, even though he had the capability to do so.
"I'm sorry, but you won't have the chance to find her. Because you don't deserve it!"
Su Yu's voice was laced with spiritual power.
Only Qin Tian heard him.
However, the latter's composure surprised him slightly.
Qin Tian's steps didn't falter in the slightest.
It was as if he hadn't heard anything at all.
...
...
The Dragon Boat eventually drifted away.
Under the night sky, the Xuan Yang Sword Sect fell into a deep silence.
Gong Xueyi had departed.
The pillar of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect had left after all these years.
This made the upcoming Nine-Man Battle seem to lose much of its vibrancy.
The outcome was already determined.
Without Gong Xueyi, how could the Xuan Yang Sword Sect possibly stand against the other two sects?
Atop Sky Peak, beneath the quiet night, a solitary figure sat alone.
Qin Tian.
He remained silent, gazing up at the stars.
Not long ago, he had been here talking with Gong Xueyi.
At first, they both sat in silence.
Yet neither felt the slightest bit of awkwardness.
They were, in some ways, actually the same.
Only one was adorned with numerous halos.
Regarded as the Heavenly Pride.
The other, after three years of hard training without results, was seen as a waste.
“She never belonged here, so don’t take it too much to heart.”
At that moment, a graceful figure slowly appeared beside Qin Tian.
Xu Liuyun.
Qin Tian fell silent; how could he not understand? Gong Xueyi hailed from a superpower in the Central Continent. With her extraordinary talent, how could she possibly belong here?
This place was ultimately too small compared to the Central Continent.
“I spoke with Sister Xueyi last night. I already knew she was leaving today. That’s why I didn’t go earlier!”
Xu Liuyun sat beside Qin Tian, gazing up at the starry sky.
However, unlike Gong Xueyi, she seemed to be quite chatty, continuously talking.
He did not care about Qin Tian's silence.
It seemed there were many words stuck in his heart, unable to be expressed.
“At first, I was always helping you. In front of her, I spoke highly of you. Much of what she knows about you was also gathered by me. I really wanted to see you two together. However, I understand that it’s truly difficult for you to be together, very difficult.”
Xu Liuyun took a breath and turned her face to look at Qin Tian.
People often say that beauty is best appreciated under the moonlight.
In the same way, looking at handsome men under the moonlight has its own charm.
I must admit, even Xu Liuyun thought that Qin Tian was quite handsome.
Combined with his resilient character, he indeed gave a sense of security.
What surprised her was that Gong Xueyi would actually defy her grandfather and stay for an extra six months just to be with Qin Tian for a little longer.
It turned out that these six months were indeed the time she smiled the most.
“Relax! Just treat these six months as a dream. I believe that Sister Xueyi, like you, will cherish this time as the best memory of her life. She is like a star in the sky—visible but untouchable—yet she makes you understand that she is watching over you from afar.”
Xu Liuyun spoke, and a tear slowly fell.
How could she not know how much Gong Xueyi liked Qin Tian?
And how could she be unaware of the depth of Qin Tian's love for Gong Xueyi?
Yet, reality was cruel.
Between them, there was a vast chasm.
It was almost impossible for them to be together.
If only life were as it was at first sight.
How wonderful would that be?
"Do you also think that it's impossible for me and her?"
At that moment, Qin Tian spoke up.
"You can't say that. In fact, I think you two are quite compatible. In some ways, you are actually very similar."
Xu Liuyun shook her head.
"A pile of mud can still gaze at the stars. The stone standing at the highest point is the star itself. I don't believe that without a background, one cannot reach the peak on this path."
Qin Tian's eyes flashed with a sharp glint.
Suddenly, he stood up and glanced at the astonished Xu Liuyun beside him.
"See you at the Nine-Man Battle tomorrow!"
In a flicker of light, he vanished from the spot.
Xu Liuyun, her face flushed, smiled gently.
"Hmph, I worried for nothing. I thought this kid would be shaken after this incident. But then again... considering the burdens he has carried all these years, adding this one probably wouldn't break him, right?"
