Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1653: Chapter 1652: Reason or Madness? (Part 4)

Upon exiting the Star Spirit Cave, Song Qie sat cross-legged not far from the passage.

When he saw Su Han come out, he was slightly startled, clearly not expecting the required time to be so brief.

Generally, people who enter the Star Spirit Cave stay for days, tens of days, or even two months, three months, or even longer.

Yet Su Han took less than a day.

”Su Han, out so soon?” Song Qie came over to ask.

”Yes.”

Su Han nodded, recalling matters about Ren Qiying, his face looking somewhat grim.

Song Qie clearly realized Su Han was troubled, and after saying a few casual words, he didn’t continue to pester him.

...

Su Han left the back mountain.

Along the way, many greeted him, but Su Han seemed as if he didn’t see them and did not reply.

Until unknowingly, he arrived in front of Ren Qinghuan’s boudoir, suddenly awakening.

”How did I come here?”

Su Han hesitated in place, looking back to see many Heavenly Mountain Pavilion guardians surreptitiously watching him, seemingly discussing something among themselves.

When they saw him looking, those guardians quickly averted their gaze.

”After the last battle, it seems there’s much gossip within Heavenly Mountain Pavilion about me and Ren Qinghuan!” Su Han murmured to himself.

”Come in.”

At this moment, Ren Qinghuan’s voice came from inside the room.

Su Han’s face bore a hint of embarrassment, pondering for a moment, he transmitted his voice: ”Pavilion Master, um... I didn’t mean to come here.”

”I told you to come in, so come in.” Ren Qinghuan insisted firmly.

Su Han’s mouth twitched slightly, opened the door, and walked inside.

Ren Qinghuan remained seated cross-legged, as always, her stunning face fully restored to its previous coolness.

”Have you made a breakthrough?” Glancing at Su Han, Ren Qinghuan said.

”Yes.”

Su Han lightly nodded, recalling once again matters concerning Ren Qiying.

He felt hesitant, unsure of how to start.

Even at this moment, he was still unsure whether Ren Qiying’s disintegration was truly due to him.

”This is not your fault.”

Ren Qinghuan suddenly spoke.

Su Han froze in place, lifted his head, and gazed at Ren Qinghuan.

”I’m talking about him.”

Ren Qinghuan looked directly at Su Han, calmly stating: ”He was trapped there for too long, too long, you... saved him.”

”Was it really because of me?”

Su Han silenced himself, after a long while, sighed: ”Any curse has a way to break it, what I did was essentially killing him.”

”No, his death has nothing to do with you.”

Ren Qinghuan gently shook her head: ”He always thought I didn’t know, I always pretended not to know, but in reality... I always knew.”

”His curse lasted thirty thousand years, and until today, the thirty thousand years are coming to an end.”

”Which means, regardless of this time, whoever entered would lead to his demise.”

Su Han furrowed his brow, inadvertently asked: ”You mean, his death caused this creation, no matter who entered, they would receive this creation?”

Ren Qinghuan neither confirmed nor denied.

Su Han suddenly remembered what Song Qie said before going to the Star Spirit Cave, that Ren Qinghuan had informed him that Su Han would go.

That is to say...

Ren Qinghuan knew about this creation!

If this time, someone else went to the Star Spirit Cave, Ren Qinghuan would prevent them!

She used her father’s death to achieve this creation for Su Han!

”This...”

For a moment, Su Han felt his chest tighten.

He found it hard to imagine that Ren Qinghuan’s father had died, yet she could calmly talk to him here.

”I am a rational person.”

Ren Qinghuan stood up, seemingly knowing what Su Han was thinking.

”At the beginning, when father was cursed, I felt pain, sadness, anger, filled with hatred.”

”But as time passed, those emotions all faded away, in the end, only helplessness remained.”

”Thirty thousand years, quite long...”

”I knew I couldn’t save him, nor did I have any means to save him.”

”So, even if I went mad, what use would it be?”

Su Han was silent.

Ren Qinghuan was indeed rational, this was the most rational behavior.

Yet, people always find it hard to control their emotions, he didn’t believe Ren Qinghuan’s heart was as calm as it appeared!

”Let’s not talk about this for now, let’s discuss serious matters first.” Ren Qinghuan said.

Su Han gently shook his head: ”In your current state, you cannot discuss serious matters, let’s talk later.”

With that, Su Han’s figure flashed and disappeared from the room.

He left for a long time afterwards...

”Why... Why!!!”

”I visited the Star Spirit Cave countless times, I knew you weren’t dead, but... why wouldn’t you want to see me!!”

”If I had known this earlier, when you and mother separated, why did you insist on leaving me by your side, letting me endure such pain!”

”Now, you’re dead... haha, dead...”

...

Outer Sect Disciple Mountain, in front of the Cave Mansion.

Su Han glanced at Ye Xiaofei, the latter still cultivating.

After thinking for a moment, Su Han woke Ye Xiaofei up.

”Senior Brother Su, you have returned?” Ye Xiaofei quickly stood when seeing Su Han return.

”Yes.”

Su Han gently nodded, said: ”I have a special space, where time flows forty times faster, cultivating in there for a year equals forty years outside.”

”Ah?”

Ye Xiaofei’s eyes widened instantly: ”Is it that powerful?”

”Willing to go?” Su Han smiled.

”Of course I’m willing!”

Ye Xiaofei instinctively replied, then asked: ”But Senior Brother Su, such a place belongs to the Land of Creation, doesn’t it require many conditions?”

”You even know what the Land of Creation is?”

Su Han found Ye Xiaofei somewhat adorable, teased her, then said: ”No conditions are needed, you just need to cultivate inside, I’ll provide you with spirit crystals, pills, and such, all you need to do is concentrate on cultivating. It’s an extremely tedious process, I hope you can persevere.”

”Little Fei definitely can!” Ye Xiaofei’s eyes showed determination.

”Alright, you can enter now.” Su Han nodded.

”Let’s wait a bit.”

Ye Xiaofei pursed her lips, said: ”If I were to cultivate, then I can’t continue taking care of Senior Brother Su, I need to find a new servant for you.”

”A servant is just a servant, anyone will do, I’ll find one myself.” Su Han smiled.

”That won’t do, anyone else’s servant is fine, but for Senior Brother Su, I must personally choose!”

Ye Xiaofei immediately shook her head: ”Senior Brother Su, don’t worry, I’ll find a new servant soon, it won’t take long.”

”Alright.” Su Han reluctantly nodded.

Ye Xiaofei’s cultivation speed is incredibly fast, terrifyingly so.

Having witnessed the miracles occurring on her firsthand, Su Han naturally wouldn’t let Ye Xiaofei’s aptitude go to waste.

Very likely, in the future, Ye Xiaofei will become his great aide!
