"Your martial uncle? What? You still don't believe me?"

Su Ci suddenly pointed to his sword.

"Don't you find it strange? That mark that's always been on the blade..."

Although Duan Li was somewhat skeptical of him, he eventually drew one of the swords and saw three wave-like water-shaped markings on the blade.

He then drew another sword, marked with the symbol of fire.

“Water and fire…” Su Ci smiled bitterly, “They really are incompatible.”

When he first received this sword with the fire mark from his master, his master told him that it represented the two people's personalities and also meant that his senior brother could be as tolerant and protective of him as water.

But in the end... they ended up being completely incompatible.

Duan Li sheathed his sword, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I want to go see my master."

As Su Ci looked at the face of the young man before her, it slowly overlapped with the face in her memory, and she felt a sense of sorrow.

Actually, he did look for his senior brother after he went missing. With the abilities of Wangyue Tower, how could he not find his senior brother?

But unexpectedly, he was found right next to that woman.

At that time, Ye Qing was already married, but her husband was not her senior brother.

Sometimes he really wanted to ask his senior, was all that hard work over the years really worth it? Even this child…

Su Ci shook her head, regained her composure, said "Okay," and walked straight out of the house.

The yard was really big, and it took them quite a while to reach the backyard.

The backyard was full of flowers, and the air was filled with their fragrance, but Xiao Ran could smell a strong stench of decay.

Upon entering the house, she suddenly felt a chill; it turned out that this was a mourning hall that Su Ci had set up for Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng lay in the ice coffin. Perhaps due to its age, his skin had turned grayish-white and his lips were pale purple. Fortunately, Su Ci had preserved it well, and Lu Zheng's body was still relatively intact in the ice coffin.

Upon seeing this scene, Duan Li quickly walked to the ice coffin and looked at the person inside.

Su Ci did not step forward, but stopped beside Xiao Ran and bowed devoutly.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry I broke the contract. My disciple is simply no match for yours."

Xiao Ran gave him a speechless look.

Why do I always feel like he did it on purpose...?

After the separation, he knelt down and kowtowed, then walked out without saying a word.

She and Su Ci walked behind Duan Li. Su Ci gave her a strange look and asked:

"This kid, is he just going to say goodbye?"

The implication is that after all these years, he has nothing to say to his master.

Xiao Ran glanced back at him. "Everyone has different ways of expressing themselves."

She thought that Su Ci still didn't understand Duan Li enough. Duan Li was originally a quiet and reserved person, but he only started talking more after meeting her. If it were before...

Suddenly remembering her experiences in Liuyun Valley, she couldn't help but shake her head.

She still prefers Duanli as she is now.

Su Ci stepped forward and patted Duan Li on the shoulder.

Duan Li turned back, and the look in his eyes made Su Ci feel a little cold.

But he still stepped forward, walking alongside Duanli, and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

After a moment's thought, Duan Li turned and glanced at her, then said:

"No."

Su Ci walked in front of him, and the flowerbed was filled with a rich fragrance as he hurried along.

He turned to look at Duan Li, his expression serious, and said:

"Then will you come with me?"
