Even she herself thought so.After all, aside from him, when she looks at the other young men in the world, they all seem rather ordinary.
Character, appearance, cultivation, talent, none can compare.
Even those revered by the world as prodigies from great clans, with countless admirers, are defeated in a single move before him; they're not on the same level.
However, this decisive superiority among the prodigies was shattered.
But merely being surpassed in talent would not lead her to distance herself, for her father often said, "There are always heavens beyond the heavens," and she heard many legends of other Great Emperors, including the Primordial True Realm, where the prodigies are said to be on par with or stronger than her and Lin Zhexuan!
Such as those who wield the Tao Origin Immortal Seal.
Therefore, she never regarded her own talent as top-tier in the True Realm. This way, even if she lost or was defeated, her Tao heart would not be damaged.
Her Tao heart is strong enough to endure a first defeat.
But... the scene where she traversed past them, ready to fight to the death at the brink of despair, she could never forget.
She can understand them, but understanding and acceptance are two different things.
Especially after drawing comparisons.
Su Muqing clenched the messenger tightly in her hand and ultimately decided to meet face-to-face.
Outside the Su Family, by a certain lakeside pavilion.
A tall figure stood there, quietly waiting.
Su Muqing appeared instantly, and seeing that figure in the lake, her gaze was complex; she slowly descended into the pavilion.
"Are you blaming me?"
Upon meeting, Lin Zhexuan turned around and looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes filled with some confusion and a hint of anger.
Su Muqing knew he was accusing her of closing the Jade Token; she replied softly: "I've had too many things lately, and I've been in seclusion."
Such a lie, Lin Zhexuan naturally wouldn't believe; instead, he found it amusing. Yet, he didn't laugh or get angry; he said quietly:
"We both heard Uncle Su's words; how did you choose?"
Su Muqing's heart trembled slightly, falling silent for a long time before she said:
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
For the first time, anger appeared on Lin Zhexuan's usually calm face; his fist clenched slightly, and he said, "I thought you'd decisively refuse!"
Su Muqing looked at the enraged young man in front of her, speechless for a moment; she indeed didn't know, even now, how to face it.
"The Tao Origin Immortal Seal is indeed the True Dragon among people, but the Chaos Law is not necessarily inferior!"
Lin Zhexuan looked deeply at Su Muqing and said, "You should know my intentions after hundreds of years together."
Su Muqing remained silent, as she naturally understood.
"In ten years, I'll go to the Primordial True Realm; the family has arranged it."
Lin Zhexuan stared into her eyes, replying in a deep voice, "Your Su Family should have similar arrangements. My point is, if you choose me, we should marry as soon as possible. Before going to the Primordial True Realm, we should have offspring, leaving them to the family to care for. You know, the competition is fiercer in the Primordial True Realm, and there'll be no time to discuss these matters!"
Su Muqing's face changed slightly; once upon a time, those were things that followed naturally, but now... she found herself surprisingly hesitant.
Lin Zhexuan seemed to see through her thoughts, gazing deeply at her before turning around and saying:
"Consider it within these ten years."
After speaking, his figure tore through the void, soaring away, disappearing into the sky in an instant.
Su Muqing remained by the lake, watching the empty pavilion. Suddenly, her heart felt empty; her gaze and the water's surface sparkled with glittering waves, extremely crystal clear.
Returning from the pavilion meeting, Su Muqing retreated to the hall, going into seclusion, seeing no one.
Time passes.
Outside the courtyard, Li Hao's figure returned from the ancestral lands.
Seeing the courtyard unchanged for three years, Li Hao's eyes immediately turned to the tightly shut hall doors; upon seeing them still closed, he felt a bit disappointed; it seemed there were no signs of awakening yet.
He carried a basket back to the carving chair, and upon seeing the chessboard covered in dust, he waved lightly, scattering it.
Nanny Wu saw Li Hao return, her face full of joy, hurrying to greet him.
"Young Master, you've returned."
"Did she go out?"
Li Hao inquired.
Nanny Wu immediately understood that Li Hao referred to Su Muqing and replied, "Miss has rarely gone out in these years and has kept herself shut in the hall."
Li Hao responded with an "Oh," seemingly indifferent to the fact she didn't care about his three-year absence.
He shook his head slightly and thought no more of it.
He dismissed Nanny Wu and continued playing Chess Tao and carving alone, as he usually did.
Only now, with the twelve-stage Carving Arts, the Ying Xiaoxiao he carved seemed to contain a Soul.
Li Hao would carve a piece and place it beside him as company.
Time flies.
During Li Hao's three years in the ancestral lands, Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue both visited the Immortal Courtyard to find him. Upon learning his whereabouts, they felt happy for him and didn't disturb further.
However, they would occasionally send people to see if Li Hao had returned.
Now that Li Hao was back, within half a month, the two came to the Immortal Courtyard to visit him.
"Haotian, we heard you previously went to train with the Ancestor; now after three years, your strength must have greatly improved?"
Su Wanxue's eyes appraised Li Hao, her past misunderstanding of this young man long gone, pondering his current strength and how much it might have changed.
"Not bad."
Li Hao replied casually.
Su Wanqing's gaze, however, fell upon the carving beside him; to avoid drawing attention, Li Hao restrained the Great Dao Origin on the sculpture, sealing its power, making it appear merely aesthetically pleasing. Nonetheless, the twelve-stage carving skills made it more captivating than before.
