He... can't hold on any longer?Su Muqing suddenly felt a sense of panic, an indescribable feeling.
Su Wanxue noticed her obliviousness, a trace of pity appeared in her eyes, and she said, "Mu Qing, don't think too much about it. Isn't this exactly what you wanted with him leaving now? Without his entanglement, you can be with Lin Zhexuan, and no one will interfere with your engagement anymore."
In the past, Su Muqing would have been delighted to hear this and wholeheartedly agreed, but at this moment, she felt as if a heavy hammer was pounding her chest, and her face turned slightly pale.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief and a bit of anger.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"How could he voluntarily leave? It's just waiting a few more years, but I, I..."
Her words suddenly caught in her throat, unable to come out.
She had clearly planned to let things be if he insisted on marrying her after his retreat ended.
But... why couldn't he wait?
She had waited for over ten years, so why not wait a little longer?
He was willing to stand up for her even in front of Demons, ready to face death willingly!
He disregarded life and death for her sake, fighting top-tier demonic prodigies by defying the Seventh Realm!
Why is it that now he leaves after just waiting a few more years?
She clenched her fists tightly, her fingers taut, and her knuckles turned slightly white.
"I have to ask my father for clarification!"
Suddenly, she moved to step out of the hall's door.
Su Wanqing stood numbly by, making no move to stop her.
Su Wanxue, however, quickly tried to hold her back, her expression complicated, saying, "Don't go, it's useless."
She didn't want Su Muqing to know the truth, which would hurt her sister.
"No!"
Su Muqing suddenly unleashed her immortal power, effortlessly breaking free from Su Wanxue's grasp. She gave her a determined glance and rushed out of the hall without looking back:
"No matter where he goes, I need to know the reason; I must get an explanation!"
As she spoke, her figure vanished instantly, leaving with movement technique beyond imagination.
Su Wanqing didn't speak, but she also stepped out of the hall, disappearing in a flash.
Su Wanxue immediately understood that Su Wanqing had followed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. What is the point of this—he's been with the Su Family for less than twenty years but left an indelible impression.
Judging by the situation, Su Muqing is obviously no longer the same Su Muqing she once was.
She sighed inwardly but thought of that youth's graceful presence, her gaze remaining complex yet silent.
In the blink of an eye, the three sisters arrived at the Light Emperor Hall one after another.
"Father!"
Su Muqing directly barged into the hall without waiting for an announcement.
The guards followed her in, hastily kneeling to Chief Su Zhenyuan above, pleading for forgiveness.
Su Zhenyuan waved the guards away, seeing Su Muqing below with an agitated expression, his brow slightly furrowed.
"Where's Haotian? Where did he go? Why did he have to leave?!"
Su Muqing loudly questioned.
"Muqing."
Beside her, Su Qingmei gently frowned, softly chastising Su Muqing for her impudence.
Following closely, Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue entered the hall, one lowering her head in silence like a spectral shadow, while Su Wanxue demurely performed a bow to Su Zhenyuan above, respectfully greeting her father.
Su Zhenyuan's face looked stern as he spoke, "Haotian has matters of his own. He merely returned to where he belongs now—he was never part of our Northern Domain!"
"I know he isn't from the Northern Domain, but I just want to know why he had to leave!"
Su Muqing said through gritted teeth.
Su Zhenyuan glanced at Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue, and saw Su Wanxue subtly shaking her head.
He immediately understood that they hadn't told Su Muqing the truth, yet with so many witnesses to the incident, containing it was impossible; sooner or later it would be revealed.
Calmly, he said, "Haotian came to the Northern Domain looking for someone. Now that he has found them, naturally he must leave."
He paused, looked at Su Muqing, and said, "His departure suits your wishes; when the demons cultivated together, disregard what I said—that pledge is voided. You and Lin Zhexuan need not worry; your engagement will proceed on schedule, ideally before you enter the Primordial True Realm. If you conceive an heir before then, so much the better..."
"Who did he find?!"
Su Muqing suddenly interrupted loudly, her voice tinged with agitation, "Didn't he come to the Northern Domain to find me?"
Su Zhenyuan froze, observing his daughter's loss of composure, suddenly realizing something. He questioned skeptically:
"Could it be you have feelings for that boy?"
Confronted by her father's probing, Su Muqing's expression slightly changed, though she felt no embarrassment. She only replied through clenched teeth, "That's something else entirely!"
Su Zhenyuan eyed her for a moment, then said, "If you harbor such feelings, I suggest shelving them now while the brakes are still within reach. Lin Zhexuan was born in the Northern Domain, grew up beside you, and makes a suitable match."
Though his heart favored Li Hao, Li Hao could never become his son-in-law; setting Li Hao aside, Lin Zhexuan was the natural choice as the best option.
Su Muqing countered, "I said these are two separate matters! Who did he come to the Northern Domain for? Hasn't he always been with the Su Family?"
Su Zhenyuan sighed softly, and said, "See for yourself; you will understand after watching."
Rather than dragging the issue on, he raised his hand, brushing it through the air, causing waves to unfurl like a painting.
What transpired at the Immortal Courtyard earlier was now reflected, revealed again.
From that surge of immortal power within the hall, Shi Miao emerged to meet Li Hao, the two embracing...
Within the hall, there was silence, only the intense yet restrained dialogue shared between Li Hao and Shi Miao upon reuniting.
Su Muqing looked up, her pupils gently contracting.
But seeing the two embracing, witnessing that familiar and sincere gaze from the youth, her face turned as pale as paper, drained of all color.
