CHAPTER 213: Where to Seek Regrets in a Lifetime
"It's looking more and more like him... even that exasperating expression is similar." The person in blue sighed, took a couple of steps, and suddenly raised his hand. A thread of purple light flew towards Chu Yang and said, "Keep this; consider it a small gift from me."
After walking a few steps, he turned back and looked at Chu Yang's face, shaking his head and sighing. Finally, he stomped his foot and soared into the sky, vanishing into thin air, saying, "Kid, goodbye!"
Suddenly gone without a trace, a distant, ethereal chant echoed through the heavens and the earth: "…Enduring through thousands of mountains, yet unwilling to rest; where to seek the regrets of a lifetime? In the vast road, every autumn, day by day intoxicated, unable to resolve the sorrow…"
The voice was desolate, carrying a hint of tragic meaning, lingering for a long time in the swirling snow…
Chu Yang stared blankly in the direction he disappeared, feeling inexplicably distressed… It was as if his emotions, like the vast snowy weather, had become confused, ethereal, and unreal…
Opening his palm, he saw a purple jade pendant quietly lying there, emitting a brilliant glow. It was merely a simple piece of Amethyst, with no inscriptions inside…
With a sigh, he tucked the jade pendant into his chest, a question lingering in his heart: Who is this person?
"Boss, are you alright?" Gu Duxing and the others rushed over immediately, their expressions filled with concern.
"I'm fine." Chu Yang forced a smile and said, "Let's head back." For some reason, he suddenly felt very low-spirited. Silently mounting his horse, he waved the whip, and his steed neighed loudly, galloping into the snowstorm.
Gu Duxing and the others exchanged glances, seeing the worry in each other's eyes. They no longer hesitated and all mounted their horses at the same time, chasing after the direction in which Chu Yang had left.
The sound of hooves kicked up snow, quickly vanishing from sight.
Heavy snow fell continuously, blanketing everything in a short time, covering the traces of Chu Yang and the others; the entire world was wrapped in white, flat snow, and one could no longer see where people had walked or where the road originally was…
Long after Chu Yang and the others had departed—
The person in blue was flying through the snow like a streak of flowing light, continuously flashing and disappearing, having already traveled a great distance.
Suddenly, he came to a halt and murmured, "Something still feels off."
He stood there in the snow, thinking carefully, then slapped his forehead and muttered, "What a foolish head I have! Such a precious item, how could a mere martial master dare to carry it with him? He has nothing on him… is it really nothing?"
After a frustrated sigh, he mumbled to himself, "When I asked his father, this little brat said: 'My father? He died long ago!' That’s quite strange; why is there such deep resentment? If what he said is true, as a hunter's son… that makes even less sense."
After pondering for a moment, he decided, "I should go back and take a look."
With this thought, he turned and flew back towards the direction where he had encountered Chu Yang…
But by this time, Chu Yang had already traveled far…
Standing at the place where he had spoken with Chu Yang, the person in blue looked around, but the heavy snow had covered all traces, leaving nothing visible.
"This little brat sure moves quickly." The person in blue snorted, a proud smile appearing on his face. "Could it be that the jade pendant… was just given to you for free?"
Closing his eyes, he activated his divine skill and carefully sensed.
It turned out that he had left a trace of his primal skills aura within the jade pendant, so as long as the pendant was within three hundred miles, he could sense its location as long as he activated his skills.
Over the years, in order to find people, he had given out hundreds of such jade pendants… Although they all ended in disappointment, this method of finding people had never failed.
