Chapter 490 Leaving
When Chu Zhiyuan left Mingwu Palace, it was already dusk.

When we left the palace, the lights were already on.

It was quiet outside the palace gate, and the noise from the avenue not far away could be heard faintly.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced in the direction of the villa.

Weng Qifeng has not yet completely opened the door to becoming a grandmaster and is still practicing diligently.

Chu Zhiyuan took a quick glance and judged that he only needed these few days to do it.

He glanced at Prince Qing's Mansion.

Inside the palace, Bai Ningshuang was playing the piano on the lake in the back garden, looking relaxed.

In the small pavilion on the lake, Chu Minghou and Chu Qingyan were playing chess with great concentration.

In Wanqing Courtyard, Chu Yi and Li Suyue were practicing martial arts, like two dancing butterflies, with graceful movements and exquisite techniques.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

The palm technique practiced by Chu Yi and Li Suyue is the Flower-Picking Palm, which suits their personalities.

With the help of the Eternal Spirit Tree, the two women's understanding of the Flower-Picking Palm became deeper and more sophisticated.

Even if they are outside, they can protect themselves with this set of flower-picking palms.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Phoenix Avenue.

Huang Shirong was walking towards this side alone.

Her light yellow silk gown was wrapped around her slender and graceful figure. A long sword hung from her thin waist as she moved lightly among the crowd.

Although she was in the midst of a noisy and bustling crowd, she seemed independent of the crowd, like an orchid that was isolated from the world.

No one appreciates its fragrance.

As soon as Chu Zhiyuan appeared, her eyes lit up and she floated over and clasped her fists.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I just met Shao Feng, Master Shao of your clan yesterday."

"Junior Brother Shao..." Huang Shirong said, "Junior Brother Shao didn't offend the prince, did he?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Mr. Shao is arrogant, but he has a kind nature, so he is not bad."

No one is perfect, and no one can be liked by everyone, including oneself, the emperor, and even silver.

Shao Feng has character flaws, but he is kind by nature, which is already pretty good.

Don't ask for more or demand perfection.

Huang Shirong smiled and said, "Junior Brother Shao has high talent. He is usually pampered in the mountains, so it is inevitable that he has some shortcomings. He will be fine after going down the mountain to hone his skills."

"He should admire you."

"...I guess so." Huang Shirong said with a smile: "I was young and ignorant. I entered the Zhenwu Division and broadened my horizons, and then I realized that there are many women in the world."

“Haha…” Chu Zhiyuan laughed: “I’m afraid I will admire you even more.”

If the white moonlight is not good enough and is lost in the crowd, its luster will surely fade away slowly.

But if the white moonlight becomes more and more outstanding, more and more beautiful, she will stand out from the crowd and be rare in the world.

That will only make me fall in love with you more, how can my love for you fade away?

Huang Shirong shook her head gently: "I came here to say goodbye to the prince."

"Are you going back to the sect to go into seclusion?" Chu Zhiyuan looked at her, a fifth-level Grandmaster.

The progress has been very fast.

Of course, compared to himself and Li Hongzhao, it is indeed a little worse.

He himself is special, and Li Hongzhao is of the Phoenix bloodline, neither of which is a normal path.

"You need to calm your mind. Every day in this bustling place, your state of mind is changed unconsciously."

"Well, going to the White Cloud Sword Monument, or going to the top of the mountain and looking at the white clouds, can really help clear the dust in your heart."

The sword skills and mental skills of Baiyun Sword Palace require the coordination of the state of mind.

The more compatible your state of mind is, the faster your practice will be and the faster your Qi will circulate.

Huang Shirong trained in the Zhenwu Division and observed the world and people's hearts on the Phoenix Avenue in Yujing City in order to make herself more detached and otherworldly.

Observe the world with a cold eye, be born out of the world while being in it, and be the only one awake in the crowd.

Now I feel that something is not right, there are signs of entering the world, and timely adjustments are needed.

At this time, one should avoid the secular world, return to the sect, and adjust in a quiet and cool environment.

Huang Shirong nodded slightly.

"Let Miss Xu and Miss Wen handle the duties of the hall master," Chu Zhiyuan said, "How long will it take you to come back from seclusion?"

Huang Shirong was silent.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her beautiful face: "Not sure about the retreat time?"

Huang Shirong said softly: "I'm not actually planning to come back."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her in confusion: "You are only at the fifth level, right? You are still far from being a perfect master. Moreover, even if you are a perfect master, you still need to see the human heart and the heart of heaven before you can comprehend the heart of the sword, right?" "I want to travel around the world." Huang Shirong said, "Visit famous rivers and streams, and see the hearts and worldly affairs of other places."

“That’s a good idea.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded. “In Yujing City alone, I’ve become numb to seeing so many familiar faces.”

Yujing City looked bustling with people coming and going, as if there were countless people.

But for Huang Shirong, who has a photographic memory, they are all familiar faces.

Among the pedestrians passing by Phoenix Avenue every day, 80% are familiar people.

The remaining 20% ​​are people who come to Beijing for sightseeing, business trips, or travelers passing through.

Huang Shirong nodded slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "But the position of hall master..."

"I will resign as the head of the hall."

"Just quitting like that?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

She had climbed up here with great effort, going through so much hard work and danger.

It's so easy to give up.

"You're just taking up a position and doing nothing. It's just annoying. It's better to quit."

"You can leave it there first. When you come back, there might be a vacant seat for the head of the hall."

“That’s not beautiful either.”

"...Are you not planning to return to Zhenwu Division?"

"……Yes."

"Disappointed with Zhenwu Division?"

"If you stay in Zhenwu Division, you will have something to worry about and it will be difficult to improve your cultivation."

"..." Chu Zhiyuan was speechless.

"Sir, please don't laugh at me."

"I can only admire you." Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "I can't do it."

I have too many things to worry about, my parents, my younger sister, and now Xiao Ruoling.

With all these concerns in mind, she couldn't be as free and easy as Huang Shirong, who just left when she said she would, and withdrew decisively.

“The state of mind required for spiritual practice is different.”

"Okay, your heart is as free as white clouds, unfettered and unrestrained... Then I wish you, Shirong, to achieve your wish and become a Grandmaster as soon as possible!"

Huang Shirong smiled: "The next time we meet, I will become a Grandmaster."

"Okay!" Chu Zhiyuan smiled and raised his right palm.

Huang Shirong stretched out her tender white hand and gently patted his right palm.

"Snapped!"

The sound is clear.

Huang Shirong smiled sweetly: "Take care, Prince, we will see you later!"

After she said that, she clasped her fists, floated into the crowd, and disappeared without a trace.

Chu Zhiyuan stood there and watched her leave.

As he watched her enter the crowd, the smile on her jade-like face gradually disappeared, and melancholy gradually surged onto her face.

She looked back several times, but couldn't see herself because of the crowd.

Finally he turned around and left resolutely.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and sighed.

This Huang Shirong.

If you cannot become a grandmaster, then there is no point in seeing yourself.

The ambition is commendable, but also cruel.

For a moment, he felt a little empty and melancholy.

As the dusk deepened and night fell, more and more lanterns appeared around.

Yujing City is becoming more and more prosperous and lively.

Chu Zhiyuan walked south.

We should also clean up the city to see if there are any evil monsters.

Under the supersensory observation, Huang Shirong left Phoenix Avenue and headed towards the South City Gate.

Finally, he met up with an old man and several young men and women who were waiting at the South Gate, left the South Gate, and disappeared into the night.

Chu Zhiyuan stopped and turned back to the palace.
