【Thinking about the Heavenly Realm, Ye Yu felt very irritated.】

【Last time, with the help of his golden talent, he finally managed to squeeze into the Heavenly Realm.】

【But before he could even stabilize his footing and observe the surroundings, he was instantly taken out by someone.】

【This situation would make anyone feel extremely upset.】

【So, Ye Yu had already started planning ahead.】

【He intended to find more protective artifacts and invest them in Su Yao.】

【Hopefully, in return, he could get some high-grade defensive spiritual artifacts.】

【Of course, if he could get a semi-immortal artifact, that would be even better.】

【This time, Ye Yu was determined to be fully armed before venturing into the Heavenly Realm again.】

【However, the most urgent task at the moment was to gather more valuable items to invest in Su Yao.】

【By doing so, he would become stronger, which was the most important thing.】

【As Ye Yu’s strength grew stronger and stronger, the cultivation methods, treasures of heaven and earth, and artifacts he could access became more advanced.】

【During this trip, Ye Yu obtained a thousand-year-old Fragmented Jade White Fruit and a high-grade robe.】

【These two items took a lot of effort to acquire.】

【So, as soon as Ye Yu got them, he hurried back to the Lotus Sect, intending to give them to Su Yao.】

【On the way back, Ye Yu happened to encounter his Master Geng.】

【This unassuming master of his, after so many years, had steadily advanced his cultivation, only improving by one minor realm.】

【Such a slow pace seemed miraculous to Ye Yu.】

【But in reality, more than ninety-nine percent of cultivators in the cultivation world were like Master Geng.】

【Only through persistent hard work could they make even a small step forward.】

【After all, not everyone was like Ye Yu, blessed with both a system and innate talent.】

【Even so, whenever Master Geng returned from a trip, he would always bring back some things for Ye Yu and Su Yao.】

【Although Ye Yu no longer needed these items, as long as Master Geng offered them, he would gladly accept and warmly call out, Thank you, old man!】

【And Master Geng would smile, casually scolding Ye Yu.】

【In truth, Ye Yu knew very well that all of Master Geng’s offerings were hard-earned. No matter how insignificant they seemed, he must accept them.】

【Only then could this master feel that he was useful, which would make him very happy, encouraging him to continue working hard.】

【Otherwise, if he lost his motivation, for a cultivator, that would be the path to ruin. Leaving no chance for advancement in this lifetime.】

【It’s important to know that the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is not very long.】

【If he cannot reach the Golden Core stage, Master Geng won’t be able to accompany Ye Yu for much longer.】

【The two of them returned to the Lotus Sect together.】

【The first thing they did upon arriving was to call out Su Yao’s name.】

【But there was no response.】

【This made Ye Yu and Master Geng sense that something was off.】

【In the past hundred years, no matter how many times they went out, Su Yao always stayed within the Lotus Sect, cultivating, never leaving.】

【Over time, Ye Yu and Master Geng had the impression that no matter when they returned, Su Yao would be quietly waiting there.】

【So why was there no response this time?】

【Ye Yu and Master Geng immediately began to search around.】

【Finally, inside Su Yao’s room, they found two letters.】

【Their names, Ye Yu and Geng Haisheng, were clearly written on them.】

【Judging by the delicate handwriting, it was undoubtedly Su Yao’s own hand.】

【Ye Yu quickly picked up his envelope and began to read it.】

【“Junior Brother, I need to go away for a while. Thank you for all the help you’ve given me over the years. I’m very grateful.”】

【”If I manage to take care of things, I’ll come back and tell you a secret. Please wait for me, okay?”】

【Upon reading the contents of the letter, Ye Yu immediately furrowed his brows.】

【Su Yao going away?】

【How could this be?】

【How was he supposed to continue his path of investment now?】

【This was really awkward!】

【Just then, Master Geng suddenly leaned over, casting a glance at the contents of his letter.】

【He said with a sour tone: Oh, the letter she wrote for you is quite lengthy.】

【Ye Yu asked in confusion: Is this considered long?】

【Master Geng said nothing, quietly opening his letter to show Ye Yu.】

【After Ye Yu read it, he fell completely silent.】

【Because in the letter to Master Geng, there were only a few simple words.】

【“I’m going away. Don’t worry.”】

【One thing to say, the letter for Master Geng was indeed succinct and to the point!】

【Ye Yu, holding the envelope, slowly walked outside, looking at the familiar surroundings around him.】

【His feelings were very complicated.】

【Su Yao’s departure had thoroughly disrupted all his plans.】

【The main issue was that she hadn’t even specified a timeframe.】

【This indicated that the situation was highly unpredictable.】

【It could be a few days, or perhaps a few months, even years.】

【So, during this time, what should Ye Yu do?】

【He turned his gaze to Master Geng, hoping to see if he could switch the binding to another person.】

【The next moment, the notification sound rang immediately.】

【Binding not possible.】

【Indeed, things outside the rules allow no loopholes whatsoever.】

【He could only bind to one person, and couldn’t change it midway.】

【Ah, this is truly heartbreaking!】

【Master Geng, with his legs crossed, sat nearby and said calmly: Sometimes, when people are around, we take them for granted, thinking we have plenty of time.】

【But when that person leaves, we realize that a long time has passed.】

【Words left unsaid can only remain hidden in the heart. This feeling is very hard to bear.】

【Ye Yu’s expression immediately turned weird.】

【What happened to Master?】

【The unassuming old face suddenly said something so rich in emotional wisdom. It really gives people a strong sense of contrast.】

【Master, if this was Earth, I would recommend you to debut on the spot; you’d definitely become famous!】

【Seeing Ye Yu’s complicated gaze, Master Geng’s expression became even colder as he said, Don’t look at me like that. Who hasn’t experienced youth?】

【In my youth, love was also passionate and intense.】

【From an experienced person’s perspective, I advise you, if you see that girl Su Yao again, be brave and confess your feelings.】

【She should have been waiting for your confession for a long time.】

【Ye Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide.】

【Why is this about confessing again? Master, don’t matchmake randomly!】

【Master Geng laughed and said, Still denying it?】

【If you didn’t like Su Yao, then why have you given her everything you’ve ever acquired since childhood and kept nothing for yourself?】

【Don’t talk about camaraderie; I don’t believe it.】

【Liking is liking; what’s there to be afraid to admit? Just confess openly.】

【I’ve secretly observed that whenever you’re around, Su Yao’s gaze never leaves you. That girl definitely likes you too.】

【She’s just waiting for your confession!】

【What I want to tell you is just one thing: some things, don’t wait until it’s too late to regret!】

【Ye Yu fell silent.】

【Could it really be like this?】

【Meanwhile, at the edge of the East Sea Continent, Su Yao arrived there, looking at the vast, endless sea.】

【Her expression was extremely serious.】
