Chapter 751: Chapter 465 The Curtain Falls in the Capital! (Essence, Thanks for Everyone’s Support!)_2

The woman from Shuanghe Temple reported her task, bowed, and withdrew.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them were the only ones left in the grand hall.

"Greetings, sister-in-law,"

Chen Yuan said with a light smile.

Li Hongshuang hooked her lips, waving her horsetail whisk to set up prohibitions around them.

"Sit."

"Alright."

Without any hesitation, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged on a cushion in front of her.

"Have you come to see me because you’ve encountered some difficulties?"

Li Hongshuang asked directly.

Shaking his head, Chen Yuan replied,

"It’s not that, I just plan to leave the Capital for a while and I wanted to inform my sister-in-law."

"Leaving?" Li Hongshuang’s eyebrows raised:

"Why are you leaving?"

"I’ve hit a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I thought about traveling for some time."

Chen Yuan repeated his earlier excuse.

But Li Hongshuang was staring at him intently, speaking slowly,

"Is that really the case?"

"What else could it be?"

Being watched like that made Chen Yuan’s heart skip a beat.

"What do you think about the recent uproar caused by the Taoist Divine Palace in the Imperial City?" Instead of answering directly, Li Hongshuang changed the subject to the past battle.

After a moment of consideration, Chen Yuan replied,

"Such an earth-shattering battle is not something someone of my strength can speculate on."

Li Hongshuang’s gaze drifted toward the void outside, murmuring,

"I happened to witness that battle, and especially on that so-called Heavenly Sword Daoist, I felt a strange sense of familiarity. Do you think...

it might just be my imagination?"

As she spoke about this, Li Hongshuang’s mood seemed to darken.

Even now, thinking back on that day’s events made her shudder with fear, and the overwhelming sensation made her involuntarily shed tears.

Upon further reflection, she began to realize a few things.

Chen Yuan felt a jolt in his heart and kept silent.

The flicker in his eyes showed that Chen Yuan wasn’t quite calm; he hadn’t expected Li Hongshuang to recognize Jiang He’s identity despite his various disguises.

Still, she hadn’t missed it.

Perhaps, that could be love!

"Maybe it’s just an illusion of yours, sister-in-law."

"Perhaps..."

Li Hongshuang let out a smile.

Then, with a flick of her wrist, a burst of light flashed, and a palm-sized jade box appeared in her hand. A breeze blew it open, revealing its contents.

It was a golden pill the size of a longan fruit.

"This is..."

Li Hongshuang said softly:

"This pill is a Sixth-Turn Golden Pill, a treasured possession of Shen Wu True Monarch. A few days ago when I went home, I casually took it. Since you are returning to Qingzhou, could you deliver this to Jiang He for me?"

Chen Yuan stared at the elixir; he was naturally aware of its name.

It was a famous and rare Spirit Pill in Jianghu, known for its healing properties and ability to enhance one’s cultivation. In fact, the Sixth-Turn Golden Pill could hardly be called just an elixir anymore.

It was more fitting to call it a Spiritual Object!

It seemed Li Hongshuang had already seen through that Jiang He was the Heavenly Sword Daoist; otherwise, she wouldn’t have ’coincidentally’ taken this item from Shen Wu True Monarch’s treasures a few days ago.

He had heard that since Li Hongshuang had become a nun, she rarely interacted with her family. Her visit home a few days ago was, perhaps, for Jiang He.

Tsk, tsk...

"Alright."

Chen Yuan nodded solemnly.

A small favor like this he was still willing to help with. Although neither of them made any further connection to the Taoist Divine Palace, it was best left unsaid – the court was currently investigating too thoroughly.

"Also, help me relay a message," Li Hongshuang continued.

"What message?" freewёbnoνel-com

"Tell Jiang He that I am already past forty this year, my prime days are behind me. If he is willing, let him come to marry me within three years; if he has no such intention, then after three years,

I will leave the Capital, hide myself in Jianghu, and from then on, we shall not meet again."

"This...."

Chen Yuan contemplated silently; he had only come to say goodbye, but he had not anticipated such a development, a three-year ultimatum?

Good lord, could Jiang He be the so-called Child of Destiny?

Furthermore, hadn’t Li Hongshuang just received a Color Stabilizing Pill?

With her character, why would she... force a resolution?

Noting Chen Yuan’s confusion, Li Hongshuang explained,

"He has remained hidden in Qingzhou for many years and may now possess strength that rivals the True Monarchs. After three years, my father will no longer be a match for him. He can settle his heart’s concerns,

and if he still has no wish to marry me, then maybe... he truly has no such desire."

Chen Yuan wanted to mention the white Jade Sword that Jiang He had entrusted him with earlier, but after hearing her words, it seemed this situation might actually bring them closer together.

He just hadn’t expected Jiang He to fit the hero’s template so well, with a three-year promise and a rise from the ashes, where the biggest obstacle turned out to be Shen Wu True Monarch.

Tsk, such a clichéd plot!

"I will convey your words,"

Chen Yuan said solemnly.

...

...

Chen Yuan didn’t stay any longer at Shuanghe Temple; after receiving the Sixth-Turn Golden Pill, he turned and left, his heart inevitably feeling unusual, as he thought he just came to bid farewell.

Yet, unexpectedly, he also became a messenger.

And if his predictions were right, even if he hadn’t visited Shuanghe Temple, Li Hongshuang would have still found him.

Upon returning to the Earl’s residence, Chen Yuan considered whether to immediately tell Jiang He about this through the Heavenly Book Treasure, so he could play the hero and rescue her.

But after some thought, he decided against it.

The shock of presenting the Sixth-Turn Golden Pill to Jiang He in person would be far greater!

After parting with Li Hongshuang, Chen Yuan had no other concerns left in Divine Capital City. Once all his affairs at the mansion were settled, he decided to leave the Capital the next day!
