Transcending the Nine Heavens

“Second brother, what are you staring at so early in the morning?!” Mo Qingwu blushed, feeling shy under her second brother's gaze. The thought of spending the night with Chu Yang made her feel even more embarrassed. Although nothing happened, she was naturally quite shy, and couldn’t help but pout.

“Uh…” Mo Tianji took a breath and said, “Little sister, you seem different from yesterday… very different…”

Mo Tianji's concern was genuine, but Mo Qingwu misinterpreted his words, thinking he was subtly mocking her. Her brows furrowed, and her eyes widened as she launched a relentless chase after Mo Tianji.

She beat him all the way.

Poor Mo Tianji, the master strategist and nine calamity sword master, was now in a worse state than his younger sister; this made Chu Yang, who was watching from the side, feel quite amused, especially when he noticed Mo Tianji’s ears turning red as if they were ready to take flight. He laughed heartily at their predicament.

In the morning, after everyone finished breakfast, the group bid farewell to the Three Star Holy Clan and prepared to head south toward the City of Spirits.

However, while searching for Chu Le'er, they were informed by the man of unparalleled talent that last night, Wuzhuo City had left with Chu Le'er, and they had already disappeared without a trace.

Chu Yang could only smile bitterly at Wuzhuo City’s sudden departure. As the brothers chatted and made their way, no one noticed the deep bitterness that buried itself in Mo Tianji's eyes upon learning that Wuzhuo City had taken Chu Le'er away.

Yet, the most frustrating thing for Mo Tianji wasn’t Chu Le'er’s departure.

It seemed that Chu Le'er didn’t leave without a word completely because—

In her room, she left behind a note: “Big brother, I’m leaving with my master. You must take care, and I will appear by your side whenever you need me. Remember to think of me every day. Your sister, Le'er.”

Holding this short farewell letter, Chu Yang had a faint smile on his face; yet, his heart was filled with warmth.

Mo Tianji peeked over, wanting to ask but hesitating. His usual wisdom and composure were thrown out of the window. Seeing this, Chu Yang felt a sense of satisfaction and casually said, “It’s a letter from Le'er.”

A flash of genuine longing crossed Mo Tianji’s eyes as he feigned indifference and casually asked, “It's a farewell letter, huh?”

Chu Yang nodded but didn’t say anything more.

Mo Tianji also didn’t press further, saying instead, “We should get going.”

Having seen through Chu Yang's feigned indifference, Mo Tianji returned to his usual wise and composed self. He had already concluded that the letter must not have mentioned him; if it had, Chu Yang would definitely seize the opportunity to poke fun at him.

Since Chu Yang didn’t say anything, it was clear that Chu Le'er hadn’t mentioned him in the letter.

This was a straightforward conclusion that went without saying.

The man of unparalleled talent and the others also took the opportunity to bid farewell to Chu Yang. Having learned that Xing Yi and the others had gone to the southeast, they naturally wanted to rejoin with them. Chu Yang’s movements were not something outsiders could intervene in. Although they could no longer be considered outsiders, they still weren’t qualified to be involved in these core confidential activities. Most importantly, their own strength was still relatively insufficient to be of help; it was best for them to head southeast and focus on improving themselves.

“We three brothers lack the strength to help right now, so we’ll head southeast to refine our skills. One day, when we destroy the Chen Family, we will definitely join the fight!”

The three of them had never forgotten Wei Wuyan’s blood feud. After leaving this statement, they disguised themselves and headed southeast. As seasoned veterans, they proceeded cautiously, ensuring their safety.

“I will definitely come to find you!”

With Tan Tan's almost sworn shout, Chu Yang and his party of twelve swiftly departed the northwest, racing like arrows across the vast snowy plains toward the south.
