Nameless Elder
If Su Xueqing were to regret her decision and be unwilling, then there would be no choice but to think of another way.
However, Xiao Feng thought about it; recalling what Su Xueqing had said in Zhao Yuwei's room before the great battle began, Xiao Feng felt that Su Xueqing should not be unwilling.
"I will go find her and talk about it," Xiao Feng said.
Wu Hai did not say anything more and waved his hand to let Xiao Feng leave.
Xiao Feng left Wu Hai's courtyard.
Wu Hai looked at Xiao Feng's retreating figure, shook his head, and sighed.
Both children were good, but it was a pity that they were not a good match.
Xiao Feng walked to Su Xueqing's door with practiced ease, but his raised arm hesitated, unable to knock.
How should he go and talk to Su Xueqing?
The crisis of the Ming Cult had only just been resolved; was he really so impatient to draw a line between himself and Su Xueqing?
Just as Xiao Feng was hesitating whether to wait a little longer before coming back, the room door opened.
"Come in," Su Xueqing's voice came from inside.
It was obvious that Su Xueqing had been waiting for him in the room all along.
After standing at the door awkwardly for two seconds, Xiao Feng still walked in.
A deathly silence filled the room.
As soon as Xiao Feng entered, he saw the document on the table symbolizing the end of their marriage contract—the divorce decree.
In the mortal world, it was called a divorce decree, but for them, it should be a contract termination document.
"I have already written it. We only need to sign our names and present it to the heavens and earth, and the marriage contract between us will be severed," Su Xueqing said in a steady voice as she saw Xiao Feng's gaze fall on the paper.
Xiao Feng walked forward in silence, using his spiritual power as ink and his finger as a brush, and quickly signed his name on it.
"I, Su Xueqing, can let go of what I say. Since I have said I will not pester you anymore, you can rest assured."
Watching Xiao Feng sign his name without hesitation, Su Xueqing could still not hide the bitterness in her heart.
"I am not worried that you will pester me. It is just that you should already know about the trouble of breaking the contract. What are your thoughts?" Xiao Feng looked at Su Xueqing.
"We can announce it to the heavens and earth right now. As for my father, I will also tell him. He will not hold you two accountable; after all, you two did nothing wrong."
Su Xueqing was very calm, clearly understanding what Xiao Feng meant.
Xiao Feng did have Su Xueqing in his heart.
It was just that Su Xueqing's arrogance and overbearing nature had, time and time again, worn away the affection that had developed after she and Xiao Feng had experienced those life-and-death crises together.
At this moment, looking at Su Xueqing, who had considered everything, Xiao Feng instead felt a sense of guilt.
But it was only guilt; he had no intention of going back on this matter.
It was naturally for the best that Su Xueqing would be the one to tell Su Mo about their divorce, as he would not have to worry too much.
"Is there anything you need me to do? I can promise you three things that do not violate my principles, as compensation."
Xiao Feng was not acting condescendingly; it was just that in this matter, Su Xueqing had ultimately helped him one last time, so he could consider it as repaying her the last favor.
Since they were going to part ways anyway, Su Xueqing did not stand on ceremony with him and said directly, "The first thing: the fact that we are separating cannot be announced yet. I will speak up when the time is right."
Xiao Feng nodded.
"The second thing: I want you to be an Honorary Elder of the Ming Cult. If the Ming Cult encounters a crisis like today's again, you must come back to help!"
Xiao Feng hesitated for two seconds. Even without this Honorary Elder position, he would still come to help for Wu Hai's sake.
However, Xiao Feng did not refuse and still nodded in agreement.
"As for this third thing, I haven't thought of it yet, but rest assured, this third thing will definitely not violate your principles."
After Su Xueqing quickly finished saying this, she immediately took Xiao Feng to the courtyard.
Xiao Feng knew what Su Xueqing was going to do.
The two quickly cut their palms, and blood flowed out, dripping onto the divorce decree they held in their hands.
The divorce decree gradually glowed with a golden-red light.
The two of them used their spiritual power to ignite a spiritual fire, lighting the divorce decree from both corners.
"Presenting to the heavens and earth, the marriage contract is dissolved. From now on, we are no longer related!"
After the two quickly finished saying these words, the divorce decree in their hands turned into a wisp of golden-red light and shot rapidly into the clouds.
Both of them felt, at the same time, that the connection between them had been severed.
"The matter is finished. I will not keep you; you may go."
After finishing these things, Su Xueqing turned around decisively and returned to her room.
Xiao Feng stood in the courtyard, watching Su Xueqing enter her room, and only then did he turn to leave.
The slight reluctance in his heart was suppressed; time would be the best medicine.
He already had the wonderful Zhao Yuwei by his side; she was the one he truly wanted to spend his life with.
Since he had already decided to separate, he would not regret it.
After Xiao Feng did not look back and disappeared from the courtyard, Su Xueqing slowly pushed open the window.
She looked at the place where Xiao Feng had just been standing, her gaze empty, unable to look away for a long time.
Although Su Xueqing had already understood everything, knowing that she and Xiao Feng would have no future together, and had already decided to end it all.
Yet her heart still ached so much, and she was still so sad!
Regarding Xiao Feng, from the very beginning, she had only valued his Physique and just wanted Xiao Feng to help her Cultivate her Cultivation Technique.
But she had genuinely liked Xiao Feng. After experiencing life and death together time after time, how could she not have developed any feelings for Xiao Feng?
So, even a demoness like her could be heartbroken over a man.
But it was a pity that before he met her, Xiao Feng already had a woman he was deeply attached to and could never forget.
His heart could ultimately never be entirely with her.
It was not that Su Xueqing had not willfully thought before that perhaps she could leave the Ming Cult, just like Zhao Yuwei, and follow by Xiao Feng's side, accompanying him to see the scenery of the Nine Provinces.
But she could ultimately not do it. She had a responsibility to the Ming Cult in her heart; she could not abandon the Ming Cult, nor could she accompany Xiao Feng on his travels.
"Therefore, cutting ties completely and separating is the best outcome. Even if it is painful, I will definitely be able to adjust quickly. I am the Saintess of the Ming Cult; how could I let myself get completely lost in a man!"
Su Xueqing muttered to herself, as if trying to convince herself.
Suddenly, a sigh appeared in the room.
Su Xueqing turned around quickly, only to see that Su Mo had appeared in her room, not knowing when he had arrived.
A flash of panic crossed Su Xueqing's eyes. She had not yet figured out how to tell Su Mo about this matter. What if Su Mo was unwilling for her and Xiao Feng to separate and took his anger out on Xiao Feng?
"Father!" Su Xueqing called out, somewhat anxiously.
