Chapter 164 Set off immediately
Huangfu Yu coughed lightly and deliberately changed the subject: "Ahem, after you return to Xuancheng this time, will you never come back again?"
Her eyes were a little evasive, as if she didn't dare to look at Dongfang Ti for too long.
Dongfang Ti understood it in an instant. It turned out that her heart was as clear as a mirror. She knew all the emotions and thoughts that he had never expressed out loud.
Despite this, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and replied softly: "Maybe he will come back!"
As he spoke, his eyes never left Huangfu Yu's beautiful and lively eyes.
Huangfu Yu smiled slightly after hearing this, as bright and beautiful as a blooming spring flower.
She patted Dongfang Ti's shoulder gently and said in a relaxed tone, "That's great, this way, we'll have a chance to meet again in the future!"
After saying that, she blinked at Dongfang Ti, with a barely perceptible complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Seeing this situation, Dongfang Ti was unwilling to give up easily.
When he opened his mouth to confess his feelings to Huangfu Yu again, he didn't expect that every time the words were about to come out of his mouth, Huangfu Yu would cleverly block them with other topics.
Dongfang Ti slowly lowered his eyes, and his originally bright eyes were now dim.
He stood there quietly, understanding everything in his heart.
The person who had obsessed him and made him fall in love with her had no feelings for him at all.
He couldn't help but sniff lightly, trying hard to suppress the emotions surging in his heart.
Then, he slowly raised his slightly pale face, forced a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Well, we'll see each other again if there's a chance."
Those words seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
Huangfu Yu, who was standing by, felt a little sorry when she saw Dongfang Ti in such a state.
She hesitated again and again, but finally made up her mind to respond directly to his unspoken confession of love.
"Dongfang Ti." Huangfu Yu's voice was as gentle as a breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples.
This gentle call reached Dongfang Ti's ears, but it was like a heavy hammer striking his heartstrings.
He was slightly startled, and his eyes instantly focused on Huangfu Yu, waiting for what she would say next.
Huangfu Yu took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to continue, "I'm sorry... but I believe that we will become each other's most sincere friends."
After she finished speaking, a hint of guilt and helplessness appeared in her eyes.
Hearing this, Dongfang Ti's body trembled involuntarily.
Although he had been mentally prepared, when he heard the answer in person, his heart still felt as painful as if it were cut by a sharp knife.
After just a moment, he suppressed his sadness and nodded, squeezing out a word from between his teeth: "Okay."
Afterwards, Huangfu Yu floated away like a light butterfly, leaving behind only a faint fragrance and a lonely back.
Time passed quickly, and several years went by in the blink of an eye. During these long years, he had visited Lianlanmen several times, but each time he came with high expectations, he could only return with deep disappointment.
Because, since that day, he has never been able to capture the familiar and charming figure of Huangfu Yu again.
Occasionally I heard from others that Huangfu Yu had already embarked on a journey of training.
However, only Dongfang Ti himself knew that the so-called experience was just an excuse, and she was clearly avoiding him on purpose.
This thought was like a sharp thorn, piercing deep into his heart and causing him dull pain.
Time passed quickly, and later his elder brother successfully took over the huge Dongfang family, and he was able to have some free time.
No longer bothered by trivial matters, he devoted all his energy to martial arts training.
With his extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts, he gradually emerged in the martial arts world and carved out a small world of his own.
As the days passed, he naively thought that with the passage of time, those once unforgettable memories would gradually fade, and he would eventually be able to completely forget Huangfu Yu.
But whenever there was news about her, even if it was just a few words, his seemingly calm heart would still be involuntarily moved.
That feeling is like a gentle breeze blowing across the lake. Although it is subtle, it is enough to create ripples.
Whenever he thought of this, he would sigh helplessly: "Alas..."
It was as if he wanted to integrate all the longing, regrets and unwillingness in his heart into this sigh.
The reason why he has not settled down on marriage is because his heart is with Huangfu Yu, and he cannot wholeheartedly marry someone he does not love.
Just when Dongfang Ti was absorbed in his thoughts and completely lost in thought, Master Xiao appeared beside him silently.
Master Xiao called Dongfang Ti several times, but Dongfang Ti, immersed in his thoughts, did not respond at all, as if everything around him had been isolated from him.
Seeing that his cries received no response, Master Xiao couldn't help but feel annoyed, and he was even about to push Dongfang Ti.
At this moment, Dongfang Ti finally came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream, his eyes still a little confused and dazed.
When Dongfang Ti saw that the person in front of him was actually Xiao Guoshi, he was slightly startled and subconsciously asked, "Master Xiao?"
Upon seeing this, Imperial Preceptor Xiao showed a puzzled look on his face. He asked in confusion, "Brother Dongfang, what on earth has you so obsessed with? I've called you several times, but you didn't even respond."
Dongfang Ti obviously didn't want to talk about this matter any further, and simply replied calmly, "It's just some old things, so let's not talk about it."
After saying that, he shook his head gently, as if trying to shake those memories out of his mind.
Master Xiao's eyes were so sharp that he clearly saw a woman hurriedly leaving from Dongfang Ti just now.
But since Dongfang Ti was unwilling to speak, he couldn't force him to ask, so he changed the subject and said, "I came to you this time because I have something important to tell you. An Wuhen has died. I must hurry back to Yandu City to report this good news to His Majesty."
Hearing this, Dongfang Ti showed no surprise at all, as if he had expected this. He simply asked calmly, "When does Imperial Master Xiao plan to depart?"
Master Xiao blurted out without hesitation: "There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately!"
Dongfang Ti nodded, expressing his understanding, and then sincerely said to Master Xiao, "I hope Master Xiao will be more careful on the way and take care of yourself!"
Imperial Preceptor Xiao smiled faintly, patted Dongfang Ti on the shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Brother Dongfang. I'll leave immediately after I bid farewell to Sect Master Huangfu."
