Had they joined forces, bringing peace to the world would have been a certainty.
Not even the tomb's Immortals could have stopped them.
But.
He did not regret it.
He would protect Cyan Sparrow.
For the promise made long ago, in an abandoned house within a bamboo forest.
'But is it really just for that promise?'
Su Chen didn't know either.
Below the Library Pavilion.
Cyan Sparrow poked her little head out, carrying the gift Su Chen had given her. She glanced into the distance, then came trotting over.
"Master Xu, who is that person outside?"
"Someone of no importance."
"An old acquaintance who could have been a friend."
In the rain, Su Chen held an umbrella over Cyan Sparrow's head.
"Is this for me?"
Cyan Sparrow held the gift up high, cheering joyfully. She was once again the chirpy Little Cyan Sparrow, spinning all around Su Chen.
Inside was a bottle of Perfume.
