Because of Princess Hua-Yang's request, Meng Huaiqing decided to take Su Yeyue to the south and speak to Prince Hua-Yang face to face.
Princess Hua-Yang had a strong reason — Their daughter was leaving home and they may never meet her again for the rest of their lives, so she had to tell her father in person.
Meng Huaiqing was so fond of the girl at the moment. She wouldn't want the girl to have any concerns in mind, so she agreed with the request. It would normally take about half a month to reach the south, but for such a great cultivator, it would only take a short moment.
Before they left, Su Yeyue held Ye Xiao's hand and spoke with tears in her eyes, "Xiao-Xiao, you must not forget me… You must come to find me…"
Ye Xiao comforted her, "Don't worry. I will. But maybe I won't need to find you. If you can cultivate fast enough and reach the peak early, maybe you can come back to me. By then, it will be you protecting me at my side. That is just the same."
