Leng Fanyun's memories suddenly recovered and his attitude towards Su Yuewu started to fade away. His mind was filled with the past of him and Yaoji, and when he faced Su Yuewu, he was completely at a loss.
"Betrayal" was the word that appeared in his mind the most frequently these days. He didn't know if he could be considered to have betrayed Yao Ji, but every second he spent with Su Yuewu, his heart was filled with guilt.
Originally, in order to let him clearly understand her feelings, Su Yuewu had kept her distance from Leng Fanyun, hoping that after a few days of solitude, he would be able to sort out his feelings.
Unexpectedly, half a month had passed in the blink of an eye and Leng Fanyun was still tangled up on a daily basis, unable to think about food or tea as he had a dazed look on his face.
Su Yuewu's initial hope for Leng Fanyun had also gradually turned cold because of his attitude these days.
Su Yitian knew what his mother was thinking in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort her. Although he had the mentality of an adult, he still only knew a little about men and women. After all, no one in this world could truly understand the word "feelings".
Snow fell in the middle of winter, covering the earth lightly like goose feathers. All the filth in the world was covered by the white snow, and it was a beautiful piece of silver.
The bone-chilling cold did not diminish the slightest bit due to the beautiful scenery of the world. Su Yuewu tightly wrapped her clothes and sat by the lakeside.
The surface of the lake had turned into ice, glittering and translucent.
The icy moonlight shined on the ice, reflecting a beautiful light. It shined on Su Yuewu's face.
A crunching sound could be heard. It was the sound that came from the snow. Su Yuewu tilted her head slightly and saw Su Yitian swaying towards her.
"What are you doing out here in such a cold night?" Su Yuewu smiled at the sky, her smile pale and powerless.
"Baby went to mom's room and wanted to listen to mom tell stories to her son. Sister Rou Er said that you didn't stay in the room anymore and went out to see the snow. I thought about it and found that the snow looked the best, so I came all the way here." Su Yitian grinned with a complacent "I'm a smart baby" look.
"Heh, you sure are a spirit of the Ghost Horse." Su Yuewu gently pointed a finger at Su Yitian's face. An ice-cold sensation was transmitted from her face to Su Yitian's.
"Mother, how long have you been here?" Mother, how long have you been here. Su Yitian grumbled in dissatisfaction. He extended his hand to grab Su Yuewu's finger and put it into his leather cloak to carefully warm his mother's hands.
"You're always so careful." As Su Yuewu smiled, she suddenly thought of the many things that the baby had done for her.
Always so petty, always so meticulous.
How could she not like such a small person?
"Is mother still worried about Leng Fanyun?" Su Yitian cautiously asked. Besides Leng Fanyun, why would Su Yuewu sit by herself by the lake in the middle of the night?
"You little brat, you don't know how to read the situation. Why don't you mention it?" Su Yuewu cast a sidelong glance at Su Yitian, her gaze roving about. She tried her best to conceal the faint sadness in her eyes.
"Mother, don't be too sad. If that man is bad, we won't take him." Su Yitian pursed his lips. Although he had formed an alliance with Leng Fanyun, if that man let his mother be hurt, he would not hesitate to point his weapon at Leng Fanyun.
His mother was his most precious possession, and no one was allowed to hurt her.
"You, you." Su Yuewu shook her head and smiled gently. Whether her smile was helpless or desolate, it was hard to tell.
The bright and clear moon rose higher in the night sky. There was not a single person in sight on the quiet lake surface. Only Su Yuewu and Poppet were quietly sitting in the stone pavilion, talking nonchalantly.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Winter had arrived, and the coldest days of the year had finally arrived.
"The wind is strong outside. Let's go back."
Su Yuewu took back her hand from her baby's fur coat. In winter, every word she spoke was accompanied by bursts of fog, making it seem rather interesting and tight.
"Alright, the snowy road is slippery. Mother won't be able to slide by holding my hand." Su Yitian stretched out his small hand, and his delicate palm blended into the snow-white skin of the heaven and earth. This small action actually moved Su Yuewu to the point of almost crying.
She tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes. She was the undefeatable Su Yuewu, how could she be so weak? If he could shed tears over such a small matter, then wasn't he too hopeless?
He held her hand and walked slowly in the snow and ice. Even if there would be more snow in the future, as long as they were by his side, what was there to be afraid of?
After they left, a person slowly walked out from a small hill not too far away from the stone pavilion. He stood behind Su Yuewu, and as he watched the two of them walk further and further away, an uncomfortable feeling overturned his heart.
There was something moist in the corner of Shangguan Tulong's eyes. He wanted to return to Su Yuewu's side more than ever before. He could not bear to see her treat him like this, even when the cold wind blew on the cold winter night.
He didn't know why, but a wave of resentment rushed into his heart. He turned around and walked in another direction.
In Leng Fanyun's room, he was quietly lying on his bed when he suddenly felt someone walking towards him with a strong killing intent.
Just as he sat up, a handsome man pushed open the door and walked in.
"Leng Fanyun, what exactly do you mean?" Shangguan Tullong gritted his teeth.
"What do you mean?" Leng Fanyun knitted his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, not understanding what he was saying.
"I say, how long are you going to torture Wu'er!" Shangguan Tun Long finished his words word by word, his eyes blazing with fire.
"I, I don't know. I didn't mean to torture her." When Leng Fanyun heard Su Yuewu's name, he was momentarily at a loss for words. He didn't know what he wanted to do, he was only at a contradiction where he couldn't find the exit.
"If you really don't want to, then hurry up and explain yourself. So why did it all have to be an excuse? "Let me tell you, if you dare to submit to Wu'er, I will definitely not let you off!" Shangguan Tun Long said fiercely.
"This matter... "I …" Leng Fanyun held his head and painfully squatted on the ground.
Shangguan Tun Long was about to step forward, but a warm hand rested on his shoulder.
"Don't force him."
A soft female voice rang out. Shangguan Tun Long turned around and saw it was Su Yue Wu.
When he had hidden behind the hill to peek at Su Yuewu, Su Yuewu had already felt it, but she hadn't wanted to say it out loud so she took the baby and left. However, she didn't expect to find him in Leng Fanyun's room when she went back to find Shangguan Tulong.
"But his appearance …" Shangguan Tulong was indignant.
"Now that things have come to this, I have nothing else to say. Our fates have truly come to an end. There's nothing more to say. " Su Yuewu shook her head, saying that it wouldn't be easy to let go, but Leng Fanyun had hurt her heart time and time again, so Su Yuewu had no way to continue being reluctant to leave someone who didn't love her.
"Have you really decided?" Shangguan Tulong's eyes were filled with disbelief. If one looked carefully, perhaps one could find a glimmer of hope within.
"I've decided. Let's go." Grabbing Shangguan Tullong's arm, Su Yuewu led him out of Leng Fanyun's room.
Since you are so conflicted over your decision, why don't I help you make it? Su Yuewu turned her head and gave a heavy look at Leng Fanyun's room. Then, she turned her head and left with large strides, never looking back again.
After seeing the wondrous scene of the green light, Serene Huang and the Red Fingers wanted to walk a bit further north, but due to the consideration of the fetus in the Red Fathers' womb, the two prepared to return home and return to the underworld to rest and nurture their babies according to the Red Fathers' wishes.
While they were out sightseeing, the two made their way to the gathering area. When they prepared to return, it was much quicker. It was only two or three days before Serene Huang and the red ribbon returned to the underworld.
As for Su Yuewu, after experiencing Leng Fanyun's sudden recovery, she knew that Leng Fanyun was very conflicted and unable to make a decision. She simply made her own decision — to go wandering in the martial arts world.
Su Yuewu made this decision not out of impulse, but after careful deliberation. She felt that she had a long time to spare, spending it all on work, and had very little chance to truly go wandering in the Jianghu. She felt that she had a very long time, spending it all on work, and had very little chance to actually go wandering in the Jianghu.
For the sake of Su Yitian's protection, Su Yuewu decided not to bring him along with her in wandering the martial arts world. In the end, he was still a child. Even though he had mature thoughts, he was still dangerous.
After knowing his mother's decision, Su Yitian didn't cry or pout. He only obediently helped his mother prepare all the daily necessities and stored them in a bag.
"Mother, you have to hurry and come back after you're done. Your baby will miss you every day." Su Yitian sniffed as he spoke.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Su Yuewu smiled sweetly at the baby.
"My lord, you are alone outside. Take good care of yourself. You must remember to inform us of whatever has happened." Rou-Er held the signal detonator in her hand and stuffed it all into Su Yuewu's hands.
"I know, I know. You don't need to remind me. Don't worry." Su Yuewu giggled as she put the signal detonator into her bag. Unknowingly, her bag gradually became heavier.
"My lord, the people of the martial arts world are treacherous. You must be careful." Bing'er stared at the corner of Su Yuewu's mouth, unwilling to part with her.
"I just want to go and relax in the martial arts world. I'll be back in a few days. If you guys continue to cry like this, how can I leave in peace?" Su Yuewu giggled, but her heart was stinging.
Turning around, he turned his back to the crowd, leaving them with a thin and weak back. Su Yuewu walked further and further away with her backpack on her back. She intentionally avoided looking at the man in white. Even if she did, what could she do? Could he really have opened his mouth to ask her to stay?
Leng Fanyun stood in the crowd with an embarrassed expression. He knew that he had let Su Yuewu down, but if he really had to ask Su Yuewu to stay behind, he didn't know how to open his mouth.
Finally, that small figure disappeared into the horizon. The crowd left in groups of twos and threes, leaving Su Yitian and Leng Fanyun standing on the same spot.
"You made my mother sad." Su Yitian's tone was cold. It was completely different from the child's tone from before.
"Yes, I know." Leng Fanyun composed himself.
"You promised me that you would never make my mother sad." Su Yitian said coldly.
"I... I am at odds. " Leng Fanyun's head drooped down. Undeniably, in his heart, Yao Ji was the most important person.
Suddenly, a sharp fist landed on Leng Fanyun's face. Leng Fanyun was startled to see the baby glaring at him.
