184: Goodbye Xiaobai

Chapter 184: Seeing Xiao Bai Again

Seeing that little fox, snow-white all over, Su Han was first taken aback.

Then, he quickly reacted, and an uncontrollable surge of surprise and joy welled up in his heart.

After all, the appearance of this little fox, and that expression, were clearly a miniature version of Xiao Bai's true form that he had seen in the Xuanhuo Altar.

Thinking this, Su Han quietly dropped to the back of the crowd...

Until he left the crowd, landed on the ground, and quickly walked towards the little fox.

Soon, he arrived in front of the little fox.

"Young man, it's been a while, how have you been? We haven't seen each other in two months, did you miss your older sister~"

Xiao Bai elegantly turned in a circle on the spot, her fluffy tail gently swaying, like a small blooming white flower.

"Xiao Bai, it really is you!"

"Didn't you say you were going to see Xiao Liu?"

"So..."

"Why are you waiting for me in the Qingyun Mountain Range?"

Su Han asked Xiao Bai curiously.

Hearing this, Xiao Bai paused slightly, her expression seemingly a little downcast.

She lightly leaped onto Su Han's shoulder and lay down.

"Xiao Liu, he... died..."

Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Su Han wasn't too surprised.

After all, he had known for a long time that Xiao Liu had been severely injured by Shangguan Ce's Nine Cold Freezing Ice Thorn hundreds of years ago and wouldn't live much longer.

Even if Xiao Bai returned.

But Xiao Bai was ultimately just a Nine-tailed Sky Fox, not an Immortal.

"However, in the original work, Xiao Liu gave up on surviving because of San Wei's death and committed suicide.

"But now, only Xiao Bai came alone."

"Looking at it this way..."

"It should be that Xiao Liu saw Xiao Bai return, entrusted San Wei to her with peace of mind, and then gave up on holding on, peacefully departing."

"As for San Wei..."

"Did San Wei commit suicide this time?"

Su Han didn't know, after all, how San Wei was didn't matter much to him.

It was also possible that Xiao Bai had taken her to a safe place...

"However, she is also a pitiful person."

Su Han thought, sighing softly, then raised his hand to pick Xiao Bai off his shoulder and held her in his arms, gently stroking her fluffy fox fur.

"Since that's the case, then I guess there's no one else you want to see, right?"

"Mhm."

Xiao Bai softly responded with a dejected expression.

"Then why don't you stay with me from now on?"

"Consider it repaying me for saving you from your predicament, how about that?"

Xiao Bai didn't speak, still seeming a bit sad, but she gently nodded.

Then, she quietly lay in Su Han's arms, gazing into the distance.

Su Han looked at the listless Xiao Bai, sighed softly again, and stroked her fur.

"Then it's settled, I won't let you leave next time."

Subsequently.

Su Han once again rode his sword, speeding towards the Qingyun Sect.

Soon, he saw Shui Yue again.

As for Zeng Shuchang, Tianyun Daoren, Shang Zhengliang, and those Qingyun Sect Disciples, they were no longer there.

Presumably, they had already returned to their respective peaks; only Shui Yue was waiting for him.

And when Shui Yue saw Su Han return, she asked curiously, "Su Han, where did you just go?"

Su Han smiled and shook his head, "Nowhere special, I just had something to attend to."

"Is that so?"

Seeing that Su Han was unwilling to say more, Shui Yue stopped asking.

Just then.

Shui Yue finally saw a little fox in Su Han's arms, snow-white all over and incredibly cute.

She was curiously observing her with her intelligent eyes.

Shui Yue couldn't help but be slightly startled, and an expression of unconcealed surprise instantly appeared on her face.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Xiao Bai, filled with confusion and curiosity.

After all, she had never seen this little fox by Su Han's side before.

But how could a white fox suddenly appear when Su Han went out and came back, only for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea?

And looking at the other party's intelligent eyes, Shui Yue always felt like the other party was observing her.

It was clear that this little fox had high intelligence.

"Su Han, where did this little fox come from?"

Shui Yue slightly furrowed her brow, turned to look at Su Han beside her, and asked softly.

The corner of Su Han's mouth curved slightly, with a hint of doting smile, "This is my new pet."

He gently held Xiao Bai, his eyes revealing a hint of fondness.

And hearing this, because Shui Yue was present, Xiao Bai didn't speak, but just looked at Su Han with some disdain.

As if to say, shameless, I am not your pet!

And hearing this, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, Little Grey, couldn't help but appear in Shui Yue's mind.

"Su Han, you really are popular with small animals!"

Su Han smiled, "Maybe."

Afterwards, he slightly raised his head, looked at the mist-shrouded mountains in the distance, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"Shifu (Master), let's go back quickly."

"After all, you haven't been back for over two years, I presume you miss Senior Sister Xueqi and Wen Min Shijie, right?"

Hearing Su Han's words, Shui Yue nodded slightly, "Yes, let's hurry back."

In her heart, a hint of longing for her Disciples also arose.

Along the way, the breeze brushed their faces, and white clouds drifted leisurely beneath their feet.

Before long, Xiao Zhu Peak came into view.

Shui Yue and Su Han didn't land at the mountain gate, but directly rode their swords to the middle of the mountain, to their rooms.

They landed.

The gurgling stream still flowed among the rocks, making a clear sound, and the bamboo forest swayed gently in the breeze, rustling.

Shui Yue looked at all this familiar scenery, filled with emotion.

Arriving in front of the room, Shui Yue gently pushed open the door.

A familiar scent wafted in, the room's layout was still the same, the tea set she usually used was placed on the table, and the scroll hanging on the wall hadn't changed at all.

She slowly walked to the window, looking at the quiet bamboo forest outside.

And just as Shui Yue was immersed in her memories, light footsteps sounded.

A woman dressed in plain clothes, holding a towel and some cleaning tools, walked gracefully towards them.

The next second.

When she saw Shui Yue standing by the window.

The items in her hands almost dropped, her eyes were full of surprise, and she said excitedly, "Shifu (Master), you're back!"

Shui Yue turned around at the sound and saw it was Wen Min; her usually slightly cold face instantly gained a few degrees of warmth.

"Min'er, Shifu (Master) is back."

"Shifu (Master), I missed you so much!"

Wen Min excitedly ran to Shui Yue and hugged her Shifu (Master).

Shui Yue gently patted Wen Min's back.

Standing aside, Su Han watched this warm scene of Master and Disciple reuniting, the corner of his mouth unconsciously lifted, and his heart was also touched by this warmth.

He didn't want to disturb their reunion, so he silently turned around and quietly returned to his own room.

Inside Su Han's room.

Xiao Bai curiously looked around Su Han's room, her intelligent eyes darting everywhere.

"This is your room?" she asked softly.

Su Han nodded slightly, "It's a bit simple, please bear with it."

Xiao Bai smiled indifferently, "Don't worry."

"However simple, can it be simpler than the Xuanhuo Altar?"

As her words fell, accompanied by a soft white light, Xiao Bai transformed back into 'Big' Bai.

Her appearance was still exquisite, exuding a unique charm, and her white hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

Immediately after, she took out a red object from her embrace, similar to a jade slip, and with a flick of her slender, fair finger, the jade slip arced through the air and landed steadily in Su Han's hand.

"This, is for you."
