394: Could you sign it for me?
Su Xiaobai swept past him and walked towards Zhou Daoya.
He bowed forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Sect Master, for bestowing the Million Li Teleportation Map upon me back then. Without you, my Senior Sister and I would not have been able to grow to where we are today."
Zhou Daoya was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected Su Xiaobai to still remember this matter, and to thank him so respectfully in front of such a large crowd.
His eyes welled up slightly, revealing a deep sense of relief.
"Quickly, get up! What happened back then was merely a small effort for me, nothing worth mentioning." He hurriedly helped Su Xiaobai up.
Su Xiaobai shook his head, a deep sense of guilt in his eyes, "Don't hide it from me anymore.
I know that after that, the Xuan Yue Dao Sect headquarters held you accountable, and even stripped you of your Sect Master position for a time."
"It wasn't until I became famous that they returned your Sect Master position to you."
He only learned about these matters from his secret agents after inheriting the position of Sacred Monarch.
These years, he had traveled to many continents, but he had never returned to the Desolate Continent.
It wasn't because he feared Wang Ming setting an ambush for him in the Desolate Continent, but because he was afraid that he would bring unwarranted disaster to his former Revered Masters, teachers, and fellow Disciples.
He had countless times wanted to return to the Desolate Continent to visit his former fellow Disciples, and his Senior Sister had also suggested several times that she wanted to return and see how they were doing now.
But at that time, they had too many enemies; not only was Wang Ming eyeing them covetously in the Jianghu, but the imperial court also had Prince Ming targeting them.
At that time, he had not yet grown to the point where he could handle things independently, so the matter could only be left unresolved.
"It's nothing, nothing." Facing Su Xiaobai's apology, Zhou Daoya smiled and waved his hand, "To see you grow to your current level, the most correct thing I've ever done in my life was to give you the Million Li Teleportation Map back then."
It's a pity this old man was still a coward back then. If I had been more assertive and helped you deal with Qing Shou, perhaps I could have also been remembered in history." He said jokingly.
"Six Sect Masters, are you alright?!"
Suddenly, an urgent voice came from not far away.
A young woman in green and a man with a weathered face, leading people, quickly rushed towards them.
Su Xiaobai also recognized their identities, old acquaintances.
Liu Feifei and Sun Feng.
His gaze subconsciously glanced at Liu Feifei's chest, which had developed a decent size.
However, with Su Xiaobai's powerful Divine Sense, he could tell at a glance that there were steamed buns stuffed inside.
"After so many years, there's still no progress..." He silently shook his head in his heart.
On the other side, Sun Feng's face was full of the vicissitudes of life. Su Xiaobai remembered that he was just over thirty, but now he looked like a middle-aged uncle.
Both of them were covered in wounds, and blood stained half of their clothes, clearly having just experienced a fierce battle.
"Patriarch Liu, Hero Sun Feng, how are the common people being evacuated?" Zhou Daoya asked anxiously when he saw Liu Feifei arrive.
It's worth mentioning that Liu Feifei is no longer Young Miss Liu, but has inherited her father's business and become the Patriarch of the Liu family.
"We were on the verge of death, but at a crucial moment, those Yao Race members suddenly exploded inexplicably, and the common people have temporarily retreated to a safe place." Liu Feifei said with lingering fear.
Sun Feng looked at the six Sect Masters covered in blood, "It must be that the six Sect Masters defeated that Great Yao, which allowed us to escape."
"We wouldn't dare! We wouldn't dare!" The six Sect Masters repeatedly waved their hands, their expressions terrified, "How could we have that kind of strength?"
Zhou Daoya explained with a smile, "This is all thanks to Commander Su arriving in time, otherwise all of us would have died."
"Commander Su?"
Liu Feifei and Sun Feng's eyes widened in surprise, then they quickly turned their heads to look at the young face beside them.
The latter stood with his hands behind his back, a spring-like smile on his face.
"Greetings, both of you. It's been a long time." Su Xiaobai said with a smile.
"It's...it's really the legendary Commander Su! And he's even greeting me!" Liu Feifei's heart pounded violently, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks, as if a fan had met their idol.
Sun Feng, on the other hand, frowned slightly. This Commander Su seemed to know him, but he remembered that he had no acquaintance with him?
Su Xiaobai looked at their expressions and only then recalled that he had met them while wearing a mask, and they didn't know his true appearance.
After thinking about it, Su Xiaobai quickly gave up on recognizing them.
If they knew that the upright Commander Su once wore a bandit mask and robbed extensively, would he still have any face left?
Liu Feifei excitedly trotted over, stammering, "Commander Su...Commander Su, I've heard all about your deeds, and I admire you very much!"
"Can...can you sign an autograph for me?" Her cheeks flushed, and she tremblingly took out a pen from her spatial ring.
Su Xiaobai also sighed, not expecting that one day he would have fangirls.
"Alright, where should I sign?" He took the pen.
Liu Feifei's face immediately showed excitement, and then she pulled down the front of her clothes.
Because of her overly large movement, the steamed buns inside her clothes almost fell out, but fortunately, she was quick-witted and quickly stuffed them back in.
"Sign here!"
She pointed to the spot below her collarbone.
Su Xiaobai was almost startled by her actions. Fortunately, she was quite conservative with fabric, and even with such a large movement, nothing was exposed. If it were his Senior Sister or Linger, they would have been censored by now.
In the end, Su Xiaobai still signed on her body.
Liu Feifei walked away happily, muttering to herself, "I can't wash this spot anymore!"
After a brief interlude.
Zhou Daoya walked up and said with a smile, "If you have time, you can return to Ice Soul Peak to take a look. We know that it was once your residence, so we have been guarding it until now."
Su Xiaobai's heart was a mix of emotions.
When his Divine Sense had just swept across the entire Profound Moon Sect, he had seen that out of the eleven peaks of Profound Moon Sect, the other ten peaks had been conquered by the Yao Race.
Only Ice Soul Peak remained intact.
Countless Disciples had died in battle below, and what they insisted on was merely to protect the place where he once lived...
"Thank you, Sect Head, and all my Senior and Junior Brothers, for fighting to the death to protect it. Su Xiaobai was once a Profound Moon Sect Disciple, is still a Profound Moon Sect Disciple, and will be even more so in the future!" He said with firm eyes.
"Good! Good! Cough cough!" Zhou Daoya laughed heartily, so much so that his wounds split open from the intense laughter, and he coughed up a few more mouthfuls of blood.
...
Ice Soul Peak.
Ever since Bing Ling left, Ice Soul Peak had been handed over to Zhou Daoya to manage.
And he had managed it very well, looking forward to the day when his Junior Sister could return with her Disciples.
At this time, Ice Soul Peak was deserted. Su Xiaobai walked alone up the steps of the mountain.
All around, white snow covered everything, and snowflakes fell, just as it was all four seasons of the year.
Su Xiaobai passed by the Ice Soul Great Hall where his Revered Master resided, passed by the courtyard where his Senior Sister resided, and finally returned to his own small courtyard.
He looked at Mu Su City in the distance and couldn't help but smile.
He remembered how he used to run to He Han's place for refuge every few days, fearing that his Senior Sister would discover his secret of poisoning her.
His original intention was to rent an inn for He Han in Mu Su City to improve her Alchemy environment.
But in reality, it eventually became his sleeping place, while He Han was often kicked off the bed by him to sleep on the floor, barely touching the bed herself.
Further in the distance, a city so blurry it was almost invisible, was the most prosperous Jile City.
The Linglong Merchant Guild was located there.
It was there that he first met Linger, the flower thief, embarking on the Spirit Injection Road... Past memories surged like a tide.
But the once prosperous Jile City had now been reduced to ruins.
The Yao Race had conquered it, the Linglong Merchant Guild had collapsed under the trampling of the Yao Race, and all the good things were gone forever...
Su Xiaobai clenched his fists, a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
At this moment, his gaze unconsciously returned to the small courtyard, with its familiar furnishings.
There was a stone table there, with several stone stools next to it.
His thoughts were drawn back to the past.
It was a morning filled with the fragrance of flowers, the first rays of sun rising in the east, accompanied by scattered stars in the sky.
A woman dressed in a blue and white palace gown elegantly sipped tea while smilingly watching the scene before her.
There, a young man and a young woman were sparring with swords, neither giving way to the other, fighting fiercely.
Not far away, a small white cat was chasing butterflies, playing.
The scene was warm and harmonious, like a painting depicting the world.
Su Xiaobai unconsciously smiled, a smile filled with nostalgia.
"So... what I wanted most, was these..."
"Su Xiaobai! Come out and die!!!"
Suddenly, a roar like thunder echoed from the horizon, and a powerful sense of oppression instantly swept across the entire Profound Moon Sect, breaking Su Xiaobai's memories.
