Chapter 222 - Saying Goodbye
Chapter 222 - Saying Goodbye
Bai Rouyun could not help but frown upon hearing Li Moyun’s thoughts. In fact, she was not completely dispelling the idea.
She had lived twice, and it seemed that both her lives had mysterious backgrounds. It would not be impossible for Li Moyun to have some secrets as well.
The reason that she had this thought was that Li Moyun did not resemble the royal family at all. She had always assumed that he took after his mother, but from what Li Moyun said, they had nothing in common either.
The talent that Li Moyun displayed was also horrifying. Clearly, no one else in the Royal family, or even on the entire continent, could compare to his speed of advancing.
It was not that such talents were impossible on their continent, but the possibility of it happening was clearly near null. This, coupled with the other confusing points that Li Moyun had mentioned, it did indeed make sense that he might not be their biological child.
But, was it not rather surprising that so many children were being dumped within this Prison Continent? Also, the fact that they had ended up together was almost too much of a coincidence.
Li Moyun was clearly thinking the same, as he looked at Bai Rouyun and shook his head with a small smile on his face. "I do not know of my origin, but I do hope that I have no blood relationship with those bastards from the Richu Empire."
Bai Rouyun nodded her head. She did not care much for his background. She did not like his family, so if he had nothing to do with them, then that would naturally be for the best.
Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun agreed on this. The two of them did not care much for others. In fact, they would even prefer having no background than to the families they were currently connected to.
Their families were trying to abuse them for the sake of getting the best possible benefits. Such family members were not important to them.
"Let us find Mo Chu." After waiting for some time, Bai Rouyun sighed and took the first step towards moving forward. She took Li Moyun’s hand and entangled their fingers before smiling sweetly at him.
Li Moyun was not very willing to end the affectionate atmosphere, but he understood that he could not stand with Bai Rouyun in his arms forever. They needed to move forward.
He nodded his head before releasing a sigh.
Li Moyun released a ripple of energy, which alerted Mo Chu. This energy made him hurry into the hall, where he noticed the two standing side by side.
Although they seemed very close and affectionate, there was a slight sadness within their eyes, distress, and happiness.
It was a mixture of emotions, but they seemed as if they had made a critical decision, a decision that had caused them sadness.
Mo Chu did not instantly ask what was happening. He could sense that their current state was a bit delicate and that both of them were in a low mood.
"Li Moyun will be leaving soon. Xiao Long’s clan members have come to bring him to the Wushi Continent, and they are taking Li Moyun along."
In the end, it was Bai Rouyun who explained the situation to Little Chu. She then moved the hand which was not held in Li Moyun’s palm, and she showed the token that represented the Eternal Shadow Palace’s Palace Lord.
Mo Chu was not too surprised to see the token in Bai Rouyun’s hand. He knew how important this woman was to Li Moyun, and he also felt that if Li Moyun left the continent, the Eternal Shadow Palace had to belong to Bai Rouyun.
Mo Chu still did not speak much. He understood the emotions that Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun were currently feeling. No matter what he said, it would not be possible to make them feel less comfortable.
The couple looked at one another once again, and after a last lingering glance, they both sighed before they decided to face the future bravely.
Li Moyun gave a string of orders to Mo Chu. He also wrote a letter, which he handed over to the young man and asked him to deliver it to the four protectors of the Eternal Shadow Palace.
There was one more person that Li Moyun was dreading to say his goodbye to. While he had no relationship with the Emperor, there was one elder whom he respected with all his heart.
Elder Sun had taken over the position as a father in Li Moyun’s heart, and he was also the figure who had seen him grow throughout the years.
After meeting Bai Rouyun, he had also taken over most of the responsibilities of managing the Eternal Shadow Palace, while Li Moyun had focused much more on pampering his wife.
After hesitating some time, Li Moyun decided not to write a letter to this man but instead take some time to visit him. He wanted Elder Sun to stand by Bai Rouyun’s side, and he also hoped that he would be able to live life well.
Li Moyun knew that Bai Rouyun would ascend to the Wushi Continent eventually and that the two of them would meet then, but it was different for Elder Sun.
Elder Sun did not have a talent like his. While he had managed to gain some achievements throughout his life, it was only comparable to those who lived in the Prison Continent. He would never be able to break through the void and enter a higher realm.
