"Today we part ways, and who knows when we will meet again."

 

Looking at Chen An in front of her, Huang Yuexuan smiled and said, "Perhaps, it's also possible that we may never see each other again in the future."

 

Upon hearing this, Chen An looked at Huang Yuexuan.

 

To most people, Huang Yuexuan's words may not be taken seriously, as they might think she was referring to a lack of future interaction between them.

 

But to Chen An's ears, it sounded pessimistic.

 

"There's no need for that."

 

He looked at Huang Yuexuan and comforted her, "Your situation may be dangerous, but the person behind wanting to kill you may not necessarily succeed."

 

"There must be a chance."

 

"Otherwise, with your intelligence, you wouldn't have thought about leaving Shangyuan County, right?"

 

With White Qing's protection within Shangyuan County, Huang Yuexuan would likely be safe.

 

With her relationship with White Qing and her own assets, it wouldn't be too difficult for her to live comfortably in Shangyuan County for the rest of her life.

 

But she chose to leave instead.

 

This showed her ambition and unwillingness to be alone.

 

"Looks like you've hit the mark, sir."

 

Listening to Chen An's words, Huang Yuexuan was surprised, then nodded and said with a smile, "I could choose not to go back, but deep down, there's a sense of dissatisfaction, so I would rather go back and fight."

 

"I've never told anyone about this thought, but you, sir, guessed it."

 

"In fact, it's not that hard to guess."

 

Chen An shook his head and said, "Miss Huang, you don't seem like someone who would accept her fate easily."

 

"I can't believe you've noticed that."

 

Huang Yuexuan smiled and looked into the distance.

 

The scenery in the distance was bright and beautiful, with a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

 

However, there was a hint of bloodshed lurking behind, as if there were many corpses piled up.

 

Those were the people Chen An had killed along the way.

 

There were people who wanted Huang Yuexuan dead, so they sent many assassins along the way.

 

There were many characters like the former head of the Black Tiger Gang.

 

Unfortunately, they encountered Chen An.

 

Since he had taken Huang Yuexuan's money, Chen An would do his best.

 

And the fact proved that he did a pretty good job.

 

Most of those who dared to come after Huang Yuexuan didn't make it back alive.

 

And as they continued, there were fewer and fewer people who dared to attack.

 

"After passing through this area, that person won't dare to make a move."

 

Huang Yuexuan said, "But if it weren't for you, sir, I would probably have become a corpse long ago and wouldn't have made it here."

 

"Anyway, I have to thank you."

 

"Maybe you're not aware, but when we first met, I was quite fond of you."

 

She smiled and changed the subject, "You feel different from others."

 

"Before, no matter who it was, I couldn't relax, even at Sister Qing's place, I was always careful because I knew that if I said the wrong thing, Sister Qing would change her attitude."

 

"But facing you, sir, I didn't have that feeling."

 

"You make me feel different from others, you make me feel safe."

 

Huang Yuexuan looked up ahead, smiling unknowingly, "Before, I actually thought that if I could take you away with me, I would be willing to pay any price."

 

"Even if..."

 

She paused, then didn't continue, instead changing the subject, "But I know that Sister Qing wouldn't agree, and it's probably as soon as I took you away, people would come chasing after us."

 

"And these days, I learned that you are going to get married, so I understand that you won't leave with me."

 

"It's really a pity."

 

"Thank you for your kind words, Miss Huang."

 

Chen An remained calm and listened quietly to Huang Yuexuan's words, without showing any reaction.

 

Huang Yuexuan's words seemed heartfelt and sincere, but what kind of person was Chen An?

 

This kind of emotional sincerity was what he often used to deceive Sister Qing.

 

Now that someone else was using it on him, how could he believe it completely?

 

But on the other hand, at this point, she seemed to have no reason to lie?

 

Chen An pondered these thoughts silently in his heart.

 

"I know you must not believe me, sir."

 

Huang Yuexuan's voice continued.

 

Looking at Chen An, she smiled as if she had already guessed what Chen An was thinking, "But sir, you are a smart person. You should know that what I'm saying now is unnecessary."

 

"I also know I shouldn't say it."

 

"But..."

 

"But what?"

 

Chen An asked.

 

"I just wanted to say it, can't I?"

 

Huang Yuexuan looked up at the sky, then smiled, "From childhood to adulthood, I have faced many people and told many lies to please different people. The feeling of speaking the truth is rare for me."

 

"I've said before, sir, you are a rare person who makes me feel at ease and makes me feel that no matter what I say, you won't harm me."

 

"So I decided to say it."

 

She looked at Chen An, her face seeming flushed either from the sunlight or from shyness, "Can't I?"

 

"Of course, it's also because I'm afraid."

 

"As I said before, this parting may lead to my death on the road, perhaps one day, someone will cut off my head with a sword, or perhaps one day, my body will be dumped on the roadside like those people ahead, like trash."

 

"I'm afraid, afraid that I may never have a chance to speak, let alone speak the truth in my heart."

 

"So I thought, while you are still here, I am still alive, standing here as a living person, why not speak my heart out? Isn't that good?"

 

"That's not bad."

 

After a moment of contemplation, Chen An nodded.

 

It seemed that she had already made up her mind to leave with the intention of dying.

 

Chen An was not sure of Huang Yuexuan's background, but from the various attempts on her life, the danger she faced was quite terrifying.

 

At least for her.

 

So saying these words at this moment might indeed signify a farewell.

 

Chen An thought to himself, unsure of how to evaluate the situation.

 

One could only say that everyone has their own aspirations and choices.

 

Since he couldn't fully understand, respecting each other might be a good choice.

 

"I haven't thanked you for everything before."

 

After a moment of pause, Huang Yuexuan finally stopped, then said, "Since you are about to get married, I will give you this as a gift, both as a thank you and a congratulatory gift."

 

She handed something to Chen An.

 

Chen An looked at it and found a small golden ancient jade.

 

The ancient jade looked very pure in quality, with vague patterns on it, giving it a quaint and complex appearance, like a unique token.

 

"This is an heirloom left to me by my mother, so it must have some value. I'll give it to you."

 

She said softly, "I hope you keep it safe until the day we meet again."

 

"Don't worry."

 

Chen An looked at the ancient jade and nodded, "I'm not so destitute that I have to sell gifts for a living."

 

With that, Miss Huang couldn't help but laugh.

 

She didn't say much more, just waved goodbye to Chen An, then turned and left, heading towards the direction where Jiang Shu and the guards were stationed.

 

Chen An stood alone in place, watching Huang Yuexuan's figure disappear into the distance, then turned and walked back the way he came.

 

"If the Yin Body Technique is practiced with the help of Yin attribute treasures, it will accelerate progress significantly."

 

In the spacious hall, White Qing said to Chen An with a serious expression, "In your future practice, you can specifically collect materials or treasures of this kind to speed up your progress."

 

"There is a Xuanbing bed made of Xuanbing in my main hall. Sleeping on it for a long time can accelerate the growth of internal energy, one day of practice equivalent to three days outside."

 

Perhaps afraid that Chen An didn't understand it in detail, she gave another example.

 

Chen An couldn't help but glance at her.

 

Wow.

 

You're so busy all the time, yet you still have time to practice martial arts.

 

I guess you can make up for it with money.

 

At this moment, Chen An almost asked how much silver the Xuanbing bed cost.

 

But thankfully he didn't, or it would have been humiliating.

 

Generally, treasures that assist in practice are very valuable.

 

For example, the effectiveness of the Xuanbing bed is quite good, and it can be used for a long time, and even passed down to future generations.

 

In terms of value, it definitely exceeded the saying "priceless."

 

Although Chen An's wealth was not bad, in the face of such treasures, it was better to honestly lower his head.

 

Don't embarrass yourself.

 

"You can come to my residence in your spare time and practice on that Xuanbing bed."

 

Looking at Chen An's expression, White Qing continued.

 

Practice on your bed?

 

Chen An was stunned.

 

Isn't this a bit too intimate? It might not sound good if it was spread around, right?

 

But since it was White Qing who brought it up, the situation should be different.

 

Perhaps he wasn't the only one with this privilege, it could be a publicly known practice area?

 

Chen An thought of this.

 

Whether it was a misconception or not, he always felt that since the day he "opened up," White Qing had been even nicer to him.

 

Not only did she personally come to observe his practice, explaining in detail the various obstacles in the practice of the Yin Body Technique, but she even lent him the Xuanbing bed for practice.

 

She wasn't afraid that Chen An would have any ulterior motives and steal her bed overnight.

 

"Alright."

 

Just as he was pondering, White Qing stood up in front of him, "I suppose you have a general understanding of the tricks of the Yin Body Technique."

 

"With your talent, the first few levels shouldn't be too difficult for you."

 

"Keep practicing and strive for perfection as soon as possible."

 

She said softly, showing a great expectation for Chen An's future practice.

 

PS: I didn't notice before, but I just found out that this book has an additional Sect Master.

 

Thank you to the reader for the reward, Sect Master, thank you, I never expected anyone to support Sect Master in this book.
