582: Chapter 582 Unless... he can't fly anymore...

Outside the Meng Family Ancestral Land.

"Su Yun, could he... already be waiting there?" Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes flickered as she speculated.

She had cultivated quite late last night, so she had headed out rather late today!

"No, I have to go faster..." A hint of anxiety flashed across Meng Shuyan's pretty face. She immediately formed a hand seal with her delicate hands, and the multicolored light on her body instantly intensified several times, significantly increasing her flight speed.

Before long, she arrived at the forest thousands of miles away from the Meng Family Ancestral Land.

The forest here had become incredibly chaotic due to the aftermath of the great battle three days ago. Countless spirit trees had been blasted into ashes, the ground was full of cracks, and rubble was everywhere.

However, Meng Shuyan quickly found the place where Su Yun had exposed her identity, which was also where their journey had begun.

"Su Yun~ I'm here! Where are you?" Meng Shuyan's face was filled with anticipation as her slender figure slowly descended from the sky.

As soon as she landed on the ground, she impatiently looked around and released her Divine Sense to search carefully.

Huh? Where is Su Yun?

Not on the left? Not on the right? Not in front or behind either?

A look of confusion flashed in Meng Shuyan's eyes. "Could it be that I've found the wrong place?"

She confirmed it again. No, this was right! This was the place where her journey with Su Yun had begun! She would never forget the day they met!

"Since the place is correct... then it means Su Yun hasn't arrived yet!" With a wave of her hand, Meng Shuyan cleared the dust from a nearby boulder and sat down cross-legged. "Mm~ Never mind, I'll just wait here for a bit!"

She then began to wait patiently.

Half an hour passed.

One hour passed.

"Why isn't he here yet! Su Yun couldn't possibly not be coming, right? He probably wouldn't..." Meng Shuyan's willow-like brows furrowed slightly as she muttered, "To make this lady wait so long, you'll have to compensate me well when you get here, Su Yun!"

"But then again, Su Yun, you are my savior! Fine, I won't hold it against you! So, when are you coming?"

As she spoke, she clenched her jade-like hands, a bad premonition flashing through her heart.

Two hours.

Three hours.

The sky gradually darkened.

The surroundings were incredibly quiet, and no one arrived. Only Meng Shuyan sat lonely on the rock.

"Hmph! Su Yun... you're actually playing with me! I'm so mad! You made me wait for several hours; it's almost the next day!" Meng Shuyan pouted, feeling a bit dejected. "You promised... not to trick me!"

After a moment, she calmed down. Thinking it over, she continued to murmur softly, "But Su Yun isn't that kind of person! Unless..."

At that moment, Meng Shuyan suddenly remembered some details she had overlooked three days ago.

She clearly remembered that after the battle ended that day, Su Yun's expression had looked very bad for a moment.

Later, when she pulled him to see her parents, his expression also seemed a bit off.

Most importantly, when Su Yun left, he didn't actually fly away!

But he clearly said he had urgent business to attend to at his sect!

Shouldn't it be faster to fly back? How long would it take to walk back!

Unless... he could no longer fly...

Why would he be unable to fly? Perhaps because after he killed the Immortal, he was seriously injured. Maybe it was an internal injury, or an injury to his Divine Soul or Primordial Spirit, so it couldn't be seen...

Thinking of this, Meng Shuyan's face turned pale. She shook her head abruptly. "No! Su Yun is so strong! How could he be injured! If he said he's fine, then he's fine... He wouldn't lie to me!"

Then, she looked around and said with a trembling voice, "I'm definitely overthinking it! Wait a bit longer, and he will appear!"

After waiting a bit longer, the night grew deeper. The forest became pitch black with no movement at all. Still, no one came.

"He's still not here... Could it be the wrong place? Maybe the place where our journey began is that Cultivation City!" Meng Shuyan hurriedly stood up, turned into a streak of colored light, and flew toward the Cultivation City.

By now, after three days of repairs, that Cultivation City had regained its usual vitality. It was once again bustling with activity, as Cultivators bustled through the streets.

Meng Shuyan's eyes lit up as if she saw hope. She whispered, "He must be in this city! Su Yun... if you still don't show up, I'm really going to be angry!"

She entered the city and searched street by street, not missing a single alleyway.

These were all the places she and Su Yun had visited together!

But he wasn't anywhere!

Nowhere!

Still nowhere!

"Su Yun, are you hiding from me?" Meng Shuyan's eyes dimmed, and her voice choked with emotion. "Come out already! Stop teasing me! I want to see you right now..."

She walked through every street and alley in the city, looking lost and despondent.

In contrast to the bustling and lively streets, Meng Shuyan's heart gradually grew cold, and her previous suspicions surged back into her mind.

Something definitely happened to Su Yun! And it was all her fault!

Just then, Meng Shuyan passed by the stall selling Spirit Flower Cakes.

The stall owner, the woman in green, waved at Meng Shuyan and said enthusiastically, "Young Miss, I have some freshly made Spirit Flower Cakes. Would you like to try some? They're different from the kinds you bought before!"

When she saw Meng Shuyan's sorrowful expression, she quickly added, "Young Miss, have you encountered some bad news?"

"Yes." Meng Shuyan was startled for a moment and nodded slightly.

The woman in green wrapped up a piece of Spirit Flower Cake and continued, "Young Miss, then let me give you this piece of Spirit Flower Cake! I hope all the bad things you encounter will eventually turn into good things!"

"Thank you!" Meng Shuyan instinctively took the Spirit Flower Cake and continued walking toward the city gates in a daze.

On the way, she took a small bite of the Spirit Flower Cake.

But the Spirit Flower Cake in her hand no longer had that sweet taste from before. Instead, it tasted incredibly bitter, just like her heart at this moment, filled with immense pain.

It turned out that back then, she thought it was sweet because Su Yun was by her side!

But she only realized this now, when it was already too late!

She couldn't find Su Yun anymore!

In her confusion, Meng Shuyan returned to the forest and sat back down on that large boulder.

Her eyes were slightly red, and a few crystal-clear tears rolled down her pretty face. Her voice was filled with grief. "Su Yun... where are you? Don't scare me, okay? Please come out!"

At that moment, Tianxuan's figure suddenly appeared before Meng Shuyan's eyes and said directly, "He will not appear again."

Meng Shuyan looked up at Tianxuan, her voice incredibly anxious. "Tianxuan, what do you mean by that?"

"Little Master, it's time to wake up from the dream!" Tianxuan didn't answer directly, but spoke in a gentle tone.
