Chapter 2182 - 2179: A Year and a Half in the Blink of an Eye
Chapter 2182: Chapter 2179: A Year and a Half in the Blink of an Eye
The vast land will not change because someone is gone, nor because someone arrives.
At least, it seems that way.
Central Region, thirteen thousand territories, encompasses quite a large expanse.
Each territory, with its billions of beings, and even more.
The entire Central Region is home to countless beings, countless Martial Artists.
Anyone, any Martial Artist, beneath this sky, appears so insignificant, like an ant.
Yet within this mighty Central Region and its countless beings, uncountable stories unfold constantly.
However, some stories become the focal points for everyone.
While some stories remain utterly ordinary, unable to be spread even slightly.
Some Martial Artists rise suddenly, becoming famous and renowned across the lands.
Some Martial Artists toil their whole lives, submerged within the crowd.
But undoubtedly, it is the myriad beings and myriad stories that compose this vibrant and dynamic Central Region.
Perhaps there is inherent unfairness.
Yet the long Martial Arts Dao ahead of everyone is indeed littered with thorns, filled with endless difficulties and hardships.
Between heaven and earth, the rules never cease to operate.
Under heaven and earth, the beings exhibit varied forms.
Some people may surrender; some may lament over the unfairness.
But there are those who remain unyielding.
Some even take desperate measures, avoiding all costs.
That is the Martial Artist.
Of course, some people enjoy leisure, finding joy within.
Four Seasons Territory is just one of the thirteen thousand territories, yet an utterly ordinary region.
Not considered to be powerful, but not among those weak peripheral territories either.
The entire region is deemed medium, within a similar range.
The entire region holds nothing peculiar, rather ordinary, as its name suggests, ever-changing with the seasons.
Perhaps, if insisted upon saying, its scenery and climate exude tranquility and pleasantness within its ordinariness.
At this moment, Four Seasons Territory, within a certain city, just outside its outskirts.
The surrounding scenery is not exceptionally beautiful or breathtaking but remains lush and green, with verdant foliage everywhere.
Like a young nobleman, reclining on the earth, with a small blade of grass in his mouth.
Relaxed, gazing at the sky, boundless and cloudless, purely blue.
Occasionally, a gentle breeze blows.
Indeed, it makes one feel refreshed and elated.
"Ah." The elegant figure garbed in Young Master’s clothes gently exhaled, looking very comfortable.
Look closely.
What truly comforts him is perhaps not this cloudless sky, nor the peaceful surrounding scenery.
But instead, it is the soft, comfortable feeling under his head.
Behind this young nobleman, there is an exquisite figure at this moment, an extraordinary woman.
The woman also dons luxurious attire.
Her stunning visage is likely enough to make every woman in the world pale in comparison.
At this moment, the woman’s face is adorable as she kneels partially.
The young nobleman reclines against this Supreme woman’s legs, separated by that layer of soft silk fabric, enjoying this warmth and comfort.
"Yiyi, come, give your Young Master a shoulder massage." Xiao Yi lazily said as he spit out the grass from his mouth.
"Mm." The woman behind gave a sweet response, obediently extending her delicate hands to knead Xiao Yi’s shoulders.
The young nobleman is indeed Xiao Yi.
And the extraordinary woman is naturally Yiyi.
Time flies, it has been a year and a half since the two left Holy Moon Sect and traveled around.
A year and a half, neither long nor short.
And the two appear as ordinary Martial Artists traversing this vast Central Region.
They haven’t participated in any disputes, nor have they accomplished any earth-shaking feats.
The two seem to have completely disappeared in this Central Region.
"Ah, in the blink of an eye, it has been a year and a half." Xiao Yi softly sighed.
This year and a half should be the most comfortable, relaxed, and leisurely days he has experienced in years.
Yiyi chuckles, "If Yiyi isn’t mistaken, Young Master is getting restless."
"Oh?" Xiao Yi raises his eyebrows, lifting his head to look at Yiyi.
Yiyi smiles silently, her gentle hands continue massaging Xiao Yi’s shoulders.
Xiao Yi smiles, "As expected, my maid is always insightful, seeing through my thoughts at a glance."
Xiao Yi withdraws his gaze, once more looking towards the azure sky, sighing:
"It’s not that I am getting restless."
"It’s just, I thought being with you would be so carefree and joyful."
"Indeed, that is true, this year and a half has been quite comfortable."
"Yet, somehow, something is always missing."
"I know, I have things to attend to; my heart never fully settles down."
"I searched and brought you back, but there is still someone waiting for me."
Yiyi looks at Xiao Yi and asks, "Is it the elder Young Master often mentions? Young Master’s Martial Arts Enlightenment teacher?"
"Mm." Xiao Yi softly responds, gazing upward at the vast sky, his eyes turning profound and... longing.
Yiyi promptly says, "Then Young Master, continue to practice and train, with Young Master’s talents, there’s certainly a day he’ll grow to possess the skill to awaken Elder Yi."
Yiyi, always charming and considerate.
Xiao Yi, however, shakes his head, "For over a year, I truly haven’t slackened in Martial Arts training."
"And as for training, who said traveling isn’t training?"
"And the most important thing." Xiao Yi again lifts his head, seriously gazing at Yiyi’s stunning and charming face.
"My maid was just a young girl, yet got taken away by the Old Monster."
"Supposedly, when one should appreciate all life’s wonders, but instead was trapped, forced to train day and night."
"Now, surely I ought to take you everywhere, see the wonders and marvels of this world."
Upon hearing this sincere speech, Yiyi’s face turns rosy.
Though not a single mention of ’care,’ it reveals the sincerest care throughout.
"Let’s wander around more." Xiao Yi smiles.
"Over a decade, I’ve truly traveled countless places, limitless territories."
"I’ve also encountered and observed countless fascinating sites, nature’s carved mountains and mystical waters."
"Some places, I’ve always wanted to visit with you."
"Mm, as Young Master wishes." Yiyi nodded obediently.
"I’ll take a nap." Xiao Yi smiles, "This slumber amidst the chill and lushness is quite delightful."
"Wake me later."
"Okay." Yiyi nods, continuing to massage while intently gazing at the handsome face seemingly within reach.
This jade-like face could ensnare scores of women in fascination.
This face, now seemingly relaxed, casual, and natural, yet beneath it lies an expression of utmost resolution.
To be beside such a man ought to be quite a fortunate affair itself.
Let alone staying by this man’s side day and night, accompanying him in his travels, listening to the morning breezes, watching the sunset glow, and observing stars in the night sky.
To Yiyi, this year and a half has been the happiest period of her life.
Yet she knows, such times might not last.
This man, though he doesn’t strictly admit, is after all the Eight Palace Masters, the first and only Eight Palace Masters since its founding.
This man, now seemingly reclined without grace, taking a comfortable nap.
But this man is destined for greatness.
She understands quite well, she has always been perceptive.
But she is also accustomed to following her Young Master in everything, if he doesn’t mention it, she acts as if not knowing, always following.
