Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1622 - 1516: Take Care

"Huh, where is the First-class Hall?" Lin Zhao Yun wanted to take another look at the potion but couldn’t find it anymore.

"I just placed it on the table." Xiao Qing searched the table but still couldn’t find it. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Exactly. I saw Xiaoqing place it on the table too, how did it disappear so quickly? Well, true treasures truly belong to those with virtue, who knows where it flew off to." Song Yun let out a deep sigh. Years later, when Li Shishi, Xia Tian, Qingluan, and the other girls chatted idly, Song Yun once gifted me the ’First-class Hall,’ saying there are only two drops in the world because I matter the most to him, then the truth of this case surfaced. The virtuous person referred to was ’Song Yun,’ and the supposed rarity of two drops in the world was just Song Yun slightly altering what the elder told him.

Seeing the doubtful expressions of the two women, Song Yun quickly changed the subject: "Senior Sister Zhaoyun, Xiaoqing and I will be leaving tomorrow."

"Leaving? So soon?" Lin Zhao Yun’s face suddenly turned gloomy, she said with reluctance. From childhood to adulthood, she got along best with Song Yun; due to her poor health, others didn’t want to play with her, only Song Yun was willing to accompany her. Once he left, she’d have to return to a life alone, but it was fine, she didn’t have many years left anyway.

"Yes." Song Yun nodded. "Matters of the sect will be temporarily handled by Master and Shadow, there are some issues outside to deal with, and I won’t be back soon." Song Yun noticed Lin Zhao Yun’s expression, and felt saddened as well. All feasts must come to an end, wanting to stay together forever, what method is there?

"Then when will you return?" Lin Zhao Yun asked with concern. This junior brother runs off for years; she’s afraid by the time he returns again, she might not be here anymore. Ha-ha, wondering if he’d cry standing by her grave. She hasn’t seen him cry yet.

"Senior Sister, why don’t you come with me?" Song Yun stared at her, asking.

"We’ll talk about it later, you’re not particularly free right now either."

"Okay, once I’ve taken care of everything, I’ll find a big, big house and bring you all out."

"Okay." Only then did Lin Zhao Yun cheer up.

"Senior Sister, take care of your health." Song Yun looked at Lin Zhao Yun, earnestly saying.

"Mm." Lin Zhao Yun nodded. "Song Yun, when you leave, don’t forget to say goodbye to Qianxue. Last time you left without a word and went away for so many years, this time don’t do that again. Your relationship with her used to be the best apart from Xia Tian and Qingcheng; we all thought you’d... become like this now. It’s understandable she blames you too, what you did was too much."

Song Yun saw Xiao Qing’s peculiar look and touched his nose with a smile. "Alright, I’ll go say goodbye to her tonight."

Thinking of that cold woman towards him, Song Yun had a headache. He left without saying a word before; the little lady even went out to look for him, yet he concealed himself from her for years. Song Yun thought she would hate him greatly, yet she was still helping him everywhere. During the sect’s turmoil, many people were dissatisfied with Song Yun, the new Sect Leader, for his treatment of the Elder Council and intending to abolish it. Many were cleaned up due to her persuading her master to remain neutral and her providing much information.

Another woman who bestowed great favor upon him, which he couldn’t repay. Tonight, he would repay by offering his life in return.

Lin Qianxue and her master had a separate small courtyard, no one stopped Song Yun when he went there. Not to mention his close relationship with Lin Qianxue, some of the seniors still remembered him despite the years.

Moreover, as Sect Leader now, those guys had to earn their living under him. Recently, he cleaned up many, and the Elder Council vanished completely. Song Yun’s iron-fist tactics did scare some people within the sect.

Privately, someone had already nicknamed him "Butcher Sect Leader."

Someone told him this nickname, he almost cried, dragged the person and explained for a long time that all these were instructed by the elder, but they didn’t believe him. Previously, Azure Dragon focused only on Taoism, ignoring worldly matters; the elder had been in place for so many years without making any moves, and once Song Yun returned, he started the slaughter. Gaining the advantage and still complaining, already a Sect Leader, unwilling to bear any notoriety, yet pushing it onto his master’s shoulders.

If the guy wasn’t of high seniority, Song Yun would have "harmonized" him too. Damn, Song Yun wished he could make the guy shut up permanently.

Song Yun walked straight through the main hall corridor, stood at Lin Qianxue’s door, knocked on the door, but received no response. Great, that was precisely what Song Yun hoped for. He reached down, picked up a stick, and pried the door open effortlessly, no challenge whatsoever.

He gently pushed the door and entered, the room was empty. Song Yun closed the door and surveyed Lin Qianxue’s unadorned and serene room. Lin Qianxue was also a person who cherishes the past; despite all the years gone by, the room hadn’t changed much. The whole layout was reminiscent of childhood. Only some clothes and furniture had increased in size.

Song Yun walked to Lin Qianxue’s bedside, a faint fragrance greeted him. Light and not overpowering, very reminiscent of Lin Qianxue’s personality, quite pleasant. Song Yun stepped forward, touching Lin Qianxue’s blanket, pillow, bed curtain, bedpost ’Complete Tang Poems.’

He heard the sound of water from the bathroom, loud as if deliberately warning the little thief outside not to go too far. Song Yun knew the little junior sister must be taking a bath inside, and he walked over with quiet steps, pondering what excuse to use.

"Junior sister, are you inside? If not, I’m coming in, I’m desperate, need to borrow the restroom."

"Ah, how did I sleepwalk here? Where am I? It’s so familiar, there’s a door here, let’s open and see if it leads to paradise."

"Junior sister, run quickly, your house might catch fire!"

"Oh, so weird junior sister, to meet you in your bathroom."

"Wow, junior sister, what a coincidence, you’re taking a bath too?"

Song Yun was considering which trick wouldn’t get him kicked out when Lin Qianxue’s cool voice came through. "If you dare come in, I’ll kill you."

"Wow, junior sister, you’re so manly." Song Yun spoke with a face full of admiration.

"Besides you, no one dares enter my room without my permission." Inside came Lin Qianxue’s voice, intentionally suppressing anger.

"Hey, I knocked, no one answered. I was afraid someone might steal, so I came in for a look." Song Yun worked hard to defend himself.

"You’re the biggest thief." Lin Qianxue felt her anger rising. Whenever she saw this man, her usual calm would be disrupted; never met such an annoying fellow.

"He-he, junior sister, you’re flattering. Junior sister really cooperates, as soon as I arrived you undressed... taking a bath..."

"......"

"Junior sister, why aren’t you speaking?"

"......"

"Junior sister, I think chatting across the door adds a romantic touch, right......"

"......"

"Junior sister, if you’re not wanting to talk, could you at least acknowledge with an ’mmh’ or ’oh,’ I find talking alone quite boring."

"......"

"Alright then. If junior sister doesn’t want to mind me, I won’t force it. I’m leaving tomorrow and came tonight to say goodbye to junior sister. I’m sleepy. Going to sleep. Junior sister take care." Song Yun yawned. His footsteps gradually receded, the door creaked open and shut, leaving no further sounds.

Lin Qianxue sat there dazed, letting the chill settle over her body. She wanted to call him to stop but didn’t know what reason to use; she wished to tell him to take care yet when her mouth opened, no words came forth.
