Bian Ruxue felt a slight tremor at the tip of her heart when she heard Li Hao’s sigh, as if she sensed something had been lost.

She gripped the sword in her hand a little tighter, but then gently released it, perhaps this was the outcome she had anticipated all along, so why should she feel sorrow or distress now?

She collected her emotions and looked up at the youth in front of her, bright as stars and the gleaming moon, and asked with feigned ease, “When did you become aware of it?”

Li Hao slowly withdrew his gaze, looking at the girl’s cheeks that smiled like the evening glow, beautiful enough to bewitch, yet his eyes smiled without lingering, saying,

“Perhaps from a long, long time ago.”

“A long time ago…” Bian Ruxue was taken aback and then looked at Li Hao with confusion, “Why?”

Li Hao smiled without explanation.

The contents of the letters behind, as well as the frequency of mailing them, were enough to illustrate a few things, for humans are emotive creatures and naturally keen on feelings.

Including the fact that this time he descended from the mountain, he did not head directly to Li residence but first attempted to conquer Mo River.

Once Mo River was infiltrated, the villages destroyed, civilians trapped in it were certain to die; whether it was conquered sooner or later made no difference, it all depended on the mood at the time.

“This time you returned home, I took you everywhere in Qingzhou, were you truly happy?” Li Hao asked.

Bian Ruxue nodded slightly, “Happy!”

“That’s good.”

Li Hao too nodded and then smiled, but there was something slightly lacking in that smile.

She was truly happy, yet it still could not retrieve the heart that had already galloped away.

Half-step by half-step… why did she step a little too far…

Li Hao shook his head and chuckled.

“What are you laughing at?” Bian Ruxue inquired.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Li Hao’s gaze fell on the sunset glow, saying, “I laugh because the scenery is beautiful, but alas, the world is bustling, with people hurrying along the streets, who has the leisure to stop and look up?”

Bian Ruxue fell silent for a moment. She knew Li Hao wasn’t speaking about the passersby, but her.

So, she spoke up for the “passersby,” “Maybe they are busy with life, busy with their dreams… The word ‘dream,’ Brother Hao, it was you who taught me that.”

Li Hao couldn’t help but laugh heartily, suddenly standing up as if filled with boundless spirit, “You’re right!”

But then he added, “However, if one really wants, they could manage the effort to look up for a moment, it all depends on whether they’re willing.”

“And what’s the point of that?”

“Of course, there’s a point, isn’t the purpose of life just for that moment of looking up?”

It seemed both took the conversation seriously for a moment, then fell silent again.

Time passed without knowing how long.

Li Hao’s face had now put away all emotions, looking slightly tired, “I am a bit worn out from today’s stroll, you should go back first.”

After a moment of silence, Bian Ruxue nodded lightly and stood up, saying, “It’s getting late, they’ll be having dinner in the courtyard. You should come back soon so Uncle doesn’t wait too long.”

Li Hao’s lips curled slightly:

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“I’ve waited for him for fourteen years, what’s a little longer for him to wait for me?”

Bian Ruxue looked startled, her lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something, but then realized she had nothing to say.

A sudden, inexplicable pang of sadness struck the depth of her heart.

This was something she never felt while practicing swordsmanship.

When she trained with her sword, she was pure, but now she was not.

Bian Ruxue left first, and Li Hao, with his arms full of snacks and trifles bought while wandering the temple fair, sat in place.

Looking at the items in his hands, since the girl didn’t take anything away, he couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

If she truly liked them, wouldn’t she have taken them with her?

She only carried that sword, and with her own self, left like a whiff of breeze.

Does the sword really hold that much allure?

Li Hao looked up at the sky and mused, if he ever had the chance to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship, he might climb up there and see for himself.

To see just how many bones of swordsmen lie buried beneath that cliff.

And atop that ultimate peak, whether there indeed exists that divine sword!

The sunset too was stained red, like a weeping blood-orange peel, today’s sun was about to set…
