Chapter 483 A Quiet Departure after the Work Is Done

The new capital of the Northern Song.

In the manor of Lord Virtuous the Eighth.

Youve really made up your mind? Asked Li Mu, his eyes fixed on Wang Shiyu, and there was a trace of consternation on his face.

Wang Shiyu nodded with a smile and said, Yes, I wont go back.

Li Mu fell silent.

He had come over to pick up Wang Shiyu.

However, the answer given by the latter was that she did not want to go back to Earth for the time being.

Dont you want to see your parents and your relatives? Li Mu could not help but open his mouth to persuade her.

Wang Shiyu stood up. In a corridor of the waterside pavilion, she looked out at the ripples shining like fishs scales, and her expression grew even calmer. After a long time, Wang Shiyu turned around and said, Mu, may I ask you to take care of my parents after you return to Earth? I have something for them. Please bring them to my parents so that they can live a long, peaceful, and wealthy life. If there is another chance, I will go back and visit them in person.

Nothing is comparable to your going back to see them personally. Li Mu insisted, his eyes boring into Wang Shiyus.

Wang Shiyu gave a wry smile and shook her head.

After seeing the most beautiful scenery in the world, if I cant achieve anything in such a world, wouldnt it be the most stupid thing that Ive done? I dont want to miss this opportunity, she looked at Li Mu and said, I want to control my own destiny like you, dear Mu.

Li Mu offered, I can help you find a way to practice martial arts. Over the years, Ive been searching for it. Since Fairy Emperor of Light said that you have the Bright Saint Being, there must be a way for you to cultivate

Wang Shiyu hesitated for a moment and said, Mu, Ive found it. What I need most now is time. If I go back to Earth, my way to cultivate will be cut off again.

Li Mu looked at her and sighed.

In fact, youve always known it, havent you? Wang Shiyu gazed at Li Mu with a smile and continued, What in the world can escape your eyes? Mu, thank you for putting up with me all this time. If someone else did what I did, Im afraid he or she would have already died thousands of times, right?

Li Mu nodded and said, If that person wasnt you, he or she would have disappeared a long time ago.

Wang Shiyu said, So, dear Mu, thank you, thank you so much.

Li Mu did not know what to say to that.

Now that you dont want to go back, I wont force you. Everyone has the right to choose their own path. After returning to Earth, of course, I will take care of Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang. After all, its me who got you to this planet, Li Mu began, but I reckon, under any circumstances, the person your parents want to see most is definitely not me, but you.

Wang Shiyu slowly settled herself on a bench, with her cheek resting on her hand. She leaned against the railing and said, I will go back. I will definitely go back But not now.

Then, the two of them stopped talking about that topic.

In the whole afternoon, beside the pond in the residence of Lord Virtuous the Eighth, the two sat on a stone bench, chatting and laughing. They talked about some funny things that happened in their junior high school back on Earth.

As if time had returned to five years ago, they felt they relived those youthful years that had passed in a hurry on campus.

Particularly, they recalled the students drink and sing karaoke together at their graduation celebration from junior high. Everything was still vivid in their minds as if they were seeing it happen right now.

The sun gradually set in the west.

At a certain point, both of them fell silent.

When the last ray of sunlight that day was about to disappear under the horizon, Li Mu got to his feet.

He looked at the former campus belle who used to be his deskmate. As time passed, she became even more beautiful. Back in school, she was already a very self-confident girl. She dared to love and hate, which showed she was completely different from Hua Xiangrong.

Li Mu knew that no matter how hard he tried to persuade her, it would be in vain.

He had something in his mind, but he didnt know how to say it.

Wang Shiyu raised her chin a little and gently closed her eyes. The last ray of golden sunset shone on the girls face, making it look like gilded. As if whispering in a dream, she muttered, Mu, kiss me.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said, Take care.

With that, he wheeled around and left.

Soon, the last ray of sunlight really vanished under the horizon, and the darkness enveloped the land. Dusk fell heavily. Wang Shiyu slowly opened her eyes, only her face was already drenched in tears.

She knew that something had gone, and would be forever lost.

Take care.

Looking in the direction of Li Mus departure, she seemed to be talking to herself.

She raised her palm slightly, and a ray of purple light flickered in her palm like a flame elf.

Her fingers danced as though playing the piano, al
