Plop!
Cai Xuwen subconsciously looked up, and the tray in her immediately fell to the ground. Her eyes widened in disbelief while covering her mouth with both hands.
On the side, Nangong Xi woke up from the daze and slowly looked toward the sky. Her eyes froze, and her entire body trembled. Her mind couldn't comprehend the situation.
Hong Wuya slowly descended from the sky and landed before Nangong Xi. Looking at her thin and depressed appearance, the guilt in his heart grew stronger.
"I'm sorry." Hong Wuya didn't know what to say in this situation as he knew all those words were useless.
"…" Nangong Xi didn't react to his words. She looked frozen to the point where it looked as if someone had turned her to stone.
Hong Wuya took a deep breath and pulled her into his embrace, holding her as tightly as he dared.
A breath passed…another breath passed… suddenly, Nangong Xi returned to her senses and said uncertainly. "Is this… a dream?"
She didn't know what was happening at the moment. It could be a dream, but the warmth from Hong Wuya's embrace said otherwise. If this was a dream, it would be her most realistic dream ever.
"It's not a dream. I have indeed come back from death." Hong Wuya said softly. "I'm sorry for making you wait. I won't lie to myself anymore."
Nangong Xi quivered slightly as if she jolted awake from the dream. She clung to Hong Wuya and cried to release all the emotions she had smothered until now.
Two years might be short for a practitioner, but to her, it was the longest two years of her life. If it wasn't for her responsibility as a teacher, she would have killed herself by now.
Longings and sorrow… everything had transformed into translucent tears that drenched Hong Wuya's chest in no time.
"Master…" Cai Xuwen was already in tears as her gaze had never left Hong Wuya since he appeared.
Hong Wuya looked at her and said softly. "Sorry."
Cai Xuwen shook her head with a crying smile. "This disciple should be the one who says that. I've failed to live up to Master's expectation."
Hong Wuya shook his head and said nothing further. He patted Nangong Xi's back gently, trying to calm her down.
Nangong Xi's face was a complete mess at this point. The crying was such that she felt physically exhausted when she finally got it somewhat under control.
She left Hong Wuya's embrace and looked at his face attentively, trying to confirm whether he was an illusion.
"Welcome back." She barely squeezed the word out, resisting the urge to cry.
Hong Wuya wiped the tears off her face and said determinedly. "Let's get married."
Nangong Xi trembled. Her eyes widened in disbelief as her mind went blank directly. Who knew how many times she wanted to hear this sentence, but she was aware it was nothing but a pipedream… She couldn't believe her ears when he had just said it.
"Mhm." She came back to her sense and said tearfully. This time, it was a tear of joy.
On the side, Cai Xuwen looked at the scene with a happy smile. She wiped the tears out of her cheeks and said. "I'll prepare the weddings now."
As she spoke, she quickly slipped away like a gust of wind.
Soon, the news of Hong Wuya's return spread among the old teachers. Those who had a good relationship with him quickly rushed over to see him with their own eyes and ended up receiving a wedding invitation instead…

Another month passed by very quickly. Yun Lintian had been living a leisurely life on Moonlight Peak during this period. He would either bask in the sun or fish by the river. It was a rare peaceful moment he never had since his journey on the profound path began.
"You sure enjoy your life, huh?" While Yun Lintian was leisurely basking in sunlight, Han Bingling suddenly appeared beside him and said jokingly.
Yun Lintian chuckled and pulled Han Bingling into his embrace while his hands became dishonest, causing Han Bingling's face to turn red instantly.
She hammered his chest and snorted angrily. "I knew it. You are just greedy for my body."
Yun Lintian kissed her head gently and said. "If I'm not greedy for your body, who should I look for, then?"
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Han Bingling curled her lips and obediently laid on Yun Lintian's chest, letting him grab this and that place. "I heard someone try to use your name to gain benefits recently?"
Yun Lintian kneaded her elastic buttocks while replying. "It's just a bunch of clowns. They have been dealt with already."
Last month, Yun Meilan thoroughly investigated the rumors circulating among people and found out it was those former students of the Sky Throne Academy that took advantage of his name.
Yun Lintian didn't care much about them after knowing it, but Yun Qianxue was different. She couldn't tolerate something like this and punish them by herself.
At the same time, Yun Ruanyu used this chance to announce to the world that the Misty Cloud Sect had no intention of becoming the world's ruler. It was only then did the rumors vanish completely.
"It's because you have no intention of unifying the world. They simply seized this chance to take advantage." Han Bingling said gently.
Had Yun Lintian crowned himself as Weilan Jian did, these things would never happen. Just like no one dared to use the Azure Palace's name to seek benefits back then.
"You should understand me well. I am too lazy to do something unnecessary like that. What's more? I had already told the world once. And now what? They still did it anyway." Yun Lintian's hand slipped into Han Bingling's skirt and reached her secret base, causing her to let out a soft moan.
Han Bingling glared at him angrily, but her body was honest. She couldn't help kissing him, and the two immediately vanished from the place. Obviously, their destination was the bedroom.
As the two disappeared, Jiang Yingyue walked over and halted her step as she heard the faint moan. Her cheeks flushed red slightly as she turned around and left.
"Big sister!" Suddenly, Nantian Fengyu and Long Feiyan came over and greeted Jiang Yingyue.
"What's wrong with you, big sister? Why is your face so red?" Nantian Fengyu asked curiously.
Jiang Yingyue waved her hand and said. "Let's go out first. It's not the time to visit junior brother."
Before Nantian Fengyu and Long Feiyan could say anything, they were immediately dragged away by Jiang Yingyue…
