The two sat opposite each other in front of the stone table.

"Senior Ning, I heard that you have not returned to Yongye City?"

"I'm used to being idle these years, and I don't really want to go back. Besides, the old city lord is here in Yongye City, so I don't need to worry about it."

"Since Senior Ning is unwilling to return to Yongye City, why not join me in Wushuang City?" Liang Yan chuckled.

"Good boy, I finally spoke out what was on my mind!"

Ning Bugui glanced at him and sneered: "You are only thinking about me. I helped you guard Nanchui back then, and now you want to tie me up in Wushuang City? Let me tell you, there is no door!"

"Senior, calm down."

Liang Yan said with a smile: "I will definitely not let senior's work go in vain. Over the past hundred years, I have prepared a lot of resources in Wushuang City. I believe it will be helpful to senior's sainthood."

After hearing this, Ning Bugui snorted: "The matter of sanctification is illusory. Who knows whether your resources can be used?"

Liang Yan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Well, I only need senior to assist Wu Ci for two hundred years. After two hundred years, if senior fails to become a saint, then I can stay as I wish. But if senior succeeds in taking this step, please

For the sake of our friendship, we will continue to stay in Wushuang City."

"Two hundred years is not a short time..."

Ning Bugui murmured to himself, sitting on the wooden chair and lost in thought.

After a long time, he suddenly sighed softly: "Forget it, I will go on your pirate ship again! If I can really become a saint in Wushuang City, I will definitely protect this city."

After hearing this, Liang Yan showed a look of joy on his face: "I feel reassured by what Senior Ning said. Nowadays, looking at the entire Antarctic Continent, the only person who has hope of becoming a saint is Senior Ning. I hope Senior Ning can

Take this final step."

"Who can say for sure what the future will bring?"

Ning Bugui yawned and returned to his previous lazy look.

"I will have a few free days at last, you can go and do your work."

"Then I won't bother you any more."

Liang Yan smiled slightly, stood up and said goodbye to him.

…

Successfully winning over Ning Bugui made Liang Yan feel much better.

Today's Wushuang City has three sub-sages Wu Ci, Dan Yangsheng and Ning Bugui inside to carry the banner, and there are saints like Xiao Kunlun outside as strong reinforcements. Even if he leaves, there should be no problem.

What's more, after the Nine Saints slayed the demons, the situation in Antarctic Fairy Continent was basically stable. There had been no disputes for a hundred years, and the interests of Wushuang City were also guaranteed.

Now that there is peace, it's time to leave...

Liang Yan returned to the city and summoned seven disciples in the cave.

Xiong Yuer, Li Xiran and others arrived one after another, and when they saw Liang Yan, they were all a little confused.

"Master, why did you summon us here late at night?"

"Pack your things and leave with Master." Liang Yan said calmly.

"Go? Where?" The disciples became even more confused.

"Leave Antarctic Fairy Continent and go to Dongyun Lingzhou." Liang Yan said calmly.

"ah?!"

Everyone's eyes showed disbelief.

"Master, you are the lord of a city, why do you want to go to Dongyun Lingzhou?" Bai Qingruo asked carefully.

"Because the Antarctic Immortal Continent only has a history of hundreds of thousands of years, the inheritance of swordsmanship has long been cut off. If you want to take a further step on the road of swordsmanship, you must leave here." Liang Yan explained patiently.

After listening to his words, all the disciples were thoughtful and silent for a while.

Liang Yan looked around at everyone, sighed and said: "I won't hide it from you. I am going to Dongyun Lingzhou and I don't know when I will return. Many of you still have worries in your hearts, so you don't have to force me to become a teacher. Those who are willing to cross the sea with me

You can come as close as possible."

As soon as these words came out, all the disciples looked at each other in shock.

After a while, Xiong Yue'er was the first to respond.

She was originally a bear demon on Nanchui Island, free from worries and concerns. It was Liang Yan who led her on the path of spiritual cultivation, so she decided to follow Liang Yan.

After her, Luo Tianxiang, Li Mobai, and Leng Kuangsheng also came over.

Luo Tianxiang was originally a mining slave. In troubled times, he didn't even know who his biological parents were, so he had no worries.

As for Li Mobai and Leng Kuangsheng, they have been going home every three years since they started practicing with Liang Yan. Unfortunately, their parents have no spiritual roots. As early as fifty years ago, Li Yan and Leng Hu had passed away one after another.

.

From then on, Li Mobai and Leng Kuangsheng lost all worries and followed Liang Yan to practice with concentration...

In an instant, four people were standing beside Liang Yan, and only Li Xiran, Bai Qingruo, and Gu Xingyun were still hesitant.

"What are your plans?" Liang Yan asked softly.

Li Xiran hesitated for a while and said in a deep voice: "Master, I will definitely go with you, but can you give me some time?"

"yes……"

Bai Qingruo and Gu Xingyun also said: "We want to take some time to say our final goodbyes."

After hearing this, Liang Yan pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and said: "That's right... I'm a bit unreasonable as a teacher. Let's do this. I'll give you a month to properly handle your own affairs. A month later, I will be here

I'll wait for you all here for one night, and by then whether you come or not, I will leave here."

"Thank you Master!"

…………

Ten days later, outside the White Jade City, a teleportation circle suddenly lit up with glow.

A girl in Taoist robes walked out silently.

She raised her head and looked into the distance, only to see a city with white jade walls and glazed tiles, surrounded by clouds and fog, like a fairyland city.

After so many years, Bai Yucheng has not changed much, it is still exactly the same as in her memory.

Li Xiran was filled with emotion as he revisited his old place. Tears filled his eyes and he couldn't help but take a step forward.

"It's good to be here."

In mid-air, a voice sounded slowly.

Soon, a man in purple robe appeared on the hillside.

This man is tall, but his complexion is pale, without any blood, and he looks like an old man...

"President..."

Li Xiran turned around and looked with sad eyes.

"well!"

I sighed lightly before smelling the fragrance.

He had watched Li Xiran grow up and had deep feelings for her, and he could not bear to see her cry.

"Your father... is also doing it for your own good. If he goes forward, it will be detrimental to you."

"I know."

Li Xiran nodded and said leisurely: "I hated him before, but now I can understand him. My father has done a lot for me secretly, but I'm just not sensible..."

"If you think so, he should be happy." Wei Wenxiang said with a smile.

Li Xiran was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "I'm leaving soon, can I see him again?"

"No." Wei Wenxiang shook his head: "You should know his temper, but he will not do anything that may hurt you, even if it is only one in a thousand."

"Then if I leave this time... I don't know when I will come back." Li Xiran murmured.

Wei Wenxiang smiled and said: "Your father already knows that, just do whatever you want to do. The sky is high and the sea is vast, and your achievements in the future may not be lower than his. By then... maybe it will be the day when your father and daughter will be reunited."

Li Xiran was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Although she was devoted to cultivation, she had never thought about such a far-reaching thing, nor had she set such a high goal.

Until this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

"President...if one day in the future I can break through and become a saint, will I be able to meet my father?"

Wei Wenxiang didn't answer, but his smile already gave the answer.

"Understood."

Li Xiran's eyes gradually became clear and firm.

The sword energy surged in her hand, and she cut off a strand of hair with a wave of her hand, and tied it to an ancient tree near White Jade City.

"I cut off my hair now to clarify my ambition. If I don't become a saint, I swear I will never return."
