"Of course."
Hearing this, Zhao Tao nodded.
He decisively agreed to Na'er's request.
And soon, it was evening.
He accompanied Na'er back home from Hongshan College and had dinner together.
Zhao Tao gently held Na'er's hand and took her to the beach on the outskirts of Aolai City.
Facing Zhao Tao's actions.
Na'er did not resist, but a hint of sadness flashed in her purple eyes.
"Brother Zhao Tao, the moonlight is so beautiful today."
Looking at the moonlight as white as snow, Na'er sighed softly.
"Yes, but although this moon is beautiful, it is not as beautiful as my baby Na'er!"
Hearing Na'er's words, Zhao Tao looked at Na'er affectionately and said softly.
"Brother Zhao Tao..."
"If one day I leave, will you miss me?"
Na'er's pretty face flushed slightly at Zhao Tao's cheesy love talk, then lowered her head and whispered.
"Of course I will! I'll miss you every day, Na'er, and I'll miss you very, very much!"
"But I believe Na'er won't leave, right?"
Zhao Tao, already prepared, suppressed his reluctance, gazed into Na'er's eyes, and spoke gently.
"Brother Zhao Tao, I'll miss you too, forever and ever!"
Na'er's beautiful purple eyes seemed to mist over at Zhao Tao's affirmative response, and her head unconsciously rested on Zhao Tao's shoulder.
After a moment's silence, Na'er finally answered the question, somewhat irrelevantly.
At this moment, Zhao Tao finally understood that Na'er was leaving.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tao opened his arms and gave Na'er a warm hug.
Na'er threw herself into Zhao Tao's arms with tears in her eyes, unable to leave for a long time.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was time to fall asleep.
After saying goodnight to Na'er, Zhao Tao gently held her in his arms, and fell into sleep with a hint of reluctance.
Seeing that Zhao Tao was already asleep, Na'er's body shone with a faint silver light, and her whole body seemed to turn into light, and she quietly broke free from Zhao Tao's arms.
"Brother Zhao Tao, Na'er must go!"
"Na'er also likes Brother Zhao Tao and doesn't want to leave Brother Zhao Tao."
"But if I don't leave, they will definitely hurt you..."
Looking at Zhao Tao sleeping in front of her, Na'er's beautiful eyes were full of attachment, and big tears kept falling.
At that moment, she recalled every moment of her life with Zhao Tao, from their first encounter, to every moment of protection, to every little detail of their lives together...
However, she knew that, to protect Zhao Tao, she couldn't cling to him and had to leave.
"Brother Zhao Tao, although we're separated temporarily, we'll surely meet again!"
With tears in her eyes, Na'er leaned over and gave Zhao Tao a gentle kiss, leaving him a farewell note. She
then personally placed a silver pendant around Zhao Tao's neck.
At the end of the pendant was a silver gemstone, slightly angular, radiating a rainbow of colors.
It was a magnificent scale left by Na'er's original self, the Silver Dragon King, a token of Na'er's memory and blessing to Zhao Tao.
After this, Na'er waved her hand gently, creating a silver portal of light, and stepped through.
As the portal vanished, Na'er had vanished from Zhao Tao's home.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.
Waking up from his sleep, Zhao Tao looked at Na'er, who had disappeared from his side. He
knew that Na'er had left.
After searching everywhere, Zhao Tao also found the farewell letter Na'er left and the pendant Na'er had left on her neck.
"Na'er, wait for me, I will definitely find you!"
"This time, I will definitely protect you and won't let you come to any harm!"
Gently stroking the necklace around his neck, Zhao Tao's tone was firm, his eyes full of confidence.
As if hearing Zhao Tao's words, the pendant on his neck also sent waves of warmth, as if conveying Na'er's same determination and feelings.
...
In the blink of an eye.
Another month had passed since Na'er left.
At this moment, Zhao Tao has also graduated from Hongshan College.
And having broken through to the Soul Master level, he naturally also received a letter of recommendation to the Intermediate Soul Master College.
"Aunt Lin, thank you for taking care of me for the past three years. I really trouble you."
After packing his luggage, Zhao Tao bowed to Lin Ximeng and expressed his sincere gratitude.
It can be said that although Lin Ximeng is only Zhao Tao's guardian,
she actually treats Zhao Tao as her own junior and relative.
It is because of Lin Ximeng's care that he and Na'er were able to spend a happy and joyful childhood.
This will definitely deepen Na'er's favor towards the human world.
Zhao Tao is naturally grateful for this.
"You're welcome, Zhao Tao."
"I have seen your kindness and hard work all the time."
"I hope you'll learn and become a powerful spirit master in East China Sea City." "
If you have the chance, you're welcome to come back. This will always be your home!"
Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Lin Ximeng smiled and waved goodbye.
Soon,
Zhao Tao arrived at the spirit train station and boarded the journey to East China Sea City.
After two days and two nights, Zhao Tao finally arrived.
Accompanying him was his younger brother, Tang Wulin.
Thanks to Zhao Tao's care and guidance, Tang Wulin had become a complete fanboy and follower of Zhao Tao, obeying his every word.
Zhao Tao was happy with this.
Although Tang Wulin was Tang San's descendant, he wasn't inherently bad.
It was only because he had become a pawn of Tang Fozu that he, intentionally or unintentionally, committed many evil deeds.
With the right guidance, there's still a chance of a new beginning.
Besides that, Zhao Tao also longed to witness the drama of fatherly love and filial piety between Tang Wulin and Tang San.
Of course, that was a story for another time.
At this moment, Zhao Tao was leading Tang Wulin aboard the spirit train.
Compared to the small, remote town of Aolai City, Donghai City was undoubtedly far more prosperous.
After all, it was a vital port in the Sun-Moon Federation, with a permanent population of three million, ranking it among the top 30 cities in the Federation.
Looking at the bustling scene around him, Zhao Tao, a reborn being, wasn't overly moved.
After all, while Donghai City was not small, it pales in comparison to Mingdu, Tiandou City, and even Shrek City.
Instead, Tang Wulin, leaving Aolai City for the first time, looked around like a country bumpkin entering the city, his face brimming with curiosity.
Just as the two were about to reach the exit, a beautifully decorated, slender soul-guided car suddenly drove up to Zhao Tao and Tang Wulin.
"Young Master!"
Two men in black suits stepped out of the car and shouted respectfully in their direction.
Both Tang Wulin and Zhao Tao were a bit bewildered by this scene.
How could they suddenly become young masters just by leaving the city?
However
, they soon understood the whole situation.
A young man with short brown hair, a fair figure, a high nose bridge, and handsome features, with a cold and arrogant demeanor, strode towards Zhao Tao and Tang Wulin.
