Chapter 128 Love and Loss

The sun transformed the chilly night into a warm day, marking the end of the night's tranquility.

Inside the villa, in the bed, Long Tian woke up, feeling the comforting warmth enveloping his body. He glanced to his side, finding Li Yue'er still wrapped in his arms, already awake. A gentle smile graced his lips as he shifted to face her.

His fingers traced the contours of Li Yue'er's face tenderly. "How are you feeling?" he inquired.

Li Yue'er remained silent, her gaze a mix of emotions.

"Long Tian, I know I might not be your only woman. But I hope, at least, I hold a place in your heart. After all you've done for me, I can't be selfish. I... I just want to continue being with you," she confessed, her voice filled with hope.

Long Tian's expression softened, his fingers gently tousling Li Yue'er's hair. "I will never leave you, and you will always have a place in my heart," he assured her, his tone filled with sincerity.

A genuine smile lit up Li Yue'er's face, her cheeks tinted with a rosy hue. She hugged Long Tian tightly. "I'm so happy, Long Tian," she confessed, her joy evident in her voice.

Long Tian reciprocated the hug, his touch providing a sense of reassurance.

In Li Yue'er's mind, there's no Qin Chen anymore.

As the sun ascended higher, the air grew warmer. In the villa's dining area, Li Yue'er and Long Tian shared breakfast together. Both dressed casually, embracing the relaxed ambiance of Sunday, a day off from school.

"What are your plans for today, Long Tian?" Li Yue'er inquired.

"Hmmm, I might pay a visit to the Wudang sect," Long Tian replied.

Li Yue'er nodded, "I see. I have plans to spend time with my friends as well," she revealed. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn

"That sounds good. Training hard is essential, but relaxation and peace are equally important," Long Tian commented.

Li Yue'er nodded in agreement, and they continued with their meal.

All the dishes on the table had been enhanced by Li Yue'er's martial spirit, the World Tree, making them exceptionally nourishing.

After savoring a delightful breakfast, Long Tian changed into more suitable attire, still maintaining a casual aura.

Stepping out of the villa, he was greeted by Ling Han standing beside the warmed-up car.

"Are you ready, young master?" Ling Han inquired.

"Thank you, Elder Han. You're right; I must grow stronger and temper my impulsive nature," he said, expressing his gratitude sincerely.

Han Yuan smiled approvingly. "Good, shall we continue with your training?" he proposed.

"Okay, elder Han," Qin Chen nodded.

Meanwhile, Long Tian sauntered through the bustling main area of the Wudang sect. This expansive space resembled a city, teeming with disciples and cultivators going about their activities.

At that moment, Ling Han by his side noticed something amiss. "Young master, there seems to be a familiar aura here," he observed.

Long Tian raised an eyebrow. "Who?" he asked.

As Ling Han was about to respond, a middle-aged man suddenly landed in front of him. Clad in military attire with a white fur coat, exuding authority and confidence.

Seeing this, Long Tian could recognize the man immediately. He was one of the generals of the Han Empire and also his uncle, Long Xuan.

"It's been a while, kid. What brings you here?" Long Xuan inquired, a faint smile gracing his lips.

"Just taking a stroll, and perhaps testing out some techniques here," Long Tian responded, his tone calm.

Long Xuan nodded. "I heard Shi Huang bestowed an honor upon you. I suppose that's why you're here. Care to join me, kid?" he offered.

"Where to?" Long Tian asked.

"To the main hall. My visit here pertains to the missing Heartblade of Guo Jian. Since Yu Zhong is under my command, I feel responsible for this matter," Long Xuan explained.

Upon hearing this, a thin, satisfied grin formed on Long Tian's face. Although he maintained a composed expression, inside, he was elated. Long Xuan's presence here was a stroke of luck, aligning perfectly with his plans.

But first, he needed to locate Qin Chen.

"Hey, don't dawdle, kid," Long Xuan called out.

Those words snapped Long Tian back to reality. "Oh, I'm sorry, uncle; I just wanted to take a walk here," he said.

Long Xuan nodded, "Alright, see you later, kid," he said.

With that, he turned around and walked away.

Long Tian also moved to another location.

However, Ling Han couldn't contain his curiosity. "Young master, what if Long Xuan finds out that you are the one who has the Heartblade? Although I'm sure it won't cause serious consequences, still, the imperial side won't just sit idly," he said.

"Don't worry about it, Uncle Ling, everything is under control," Long Tian grinned.
