Chapter 2152: Chapter 2151: Return to the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion Again
Su Qing’s body trembled, and he suddenly looked up!
"You are the son of Su Han. For you, I can risk anything and pay any price."
These words lingered in his ears, refusing to disperse for a long time.
He knew he was wrong...
He had always been wrong!
His father never had a bad opinion of him.
His father never gave up on him!
As he looked outside the hall, in Su Qing’s vision, he seemed to see that figure in white.
It seemed straight yet, for some reason, in Su Qing’s eyes, it appeared somewhat bent.
"Father..."
Su Qing murmured.
He gently reached out, wanting dearly to grab Su Han and tell him—Father, please don’t go, giving up on Du Xi is worth it!
However, he couldn’t say it; he loved Du Xi, unwilling to let go.
It’s his selfishness, the selfishness of a son.
As the saying goes, in this world, there are only unfilial children, never unloving parents.
Just like Su Han, who would rather risk everything, just to try for Su Qing.
And Su Qing, knowing Su Han would go through thick and thin, yet for Du Xi, and for himself, he could only request, perhaps even... a form of coercion!
"Ah..."
Su Yunming stood up, sighing once more, a sigh that echoed through the hall.
Having once been a father, now a grandfather, he knew best what kind of fatherly love this was.
...
For Su Han, this was a sleepless night.
Even after years apart, with the warm jade-like arms of Xiao Yuhui, Xiao Yuran and the others, Su Han could think of nothing else.
He lay in bed, quietly staring at the ceiling, his mind naturally on Su Qing.
As a man, it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t have children, but having them, he must fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
Su Qing liked a girl whose family disapproved, and that was Su Han’s responsibility.
As Su Han thought, perhaps going would result in humiliation, or even life-threatening danger, but he had to go.
Only by going, could Su Han truly fulfill his duty as a father.
No matter the outcome, ultimately, Su Han once tried for his son.
Su Han remained silent, and Xiao Yuhui and the others also held their tongues.
They knew what Su Han was pondering.
This man, who stood with the sky on his shoulders and never had any worries, yet today, a trace of concern appeared on his forehead.
...
The night passed in this silent atmosphere, without anyone noticing.
The next morning, when the four women awoke, Su Han was already gone.
Everything with Lin Ruoxuan had been arranged well by Su Han.
As for Xin Leng, Su Han specially visited again.
As an outstanding sword talent, Su Han admired him greatly and knew that with proper cultivation, he would undoubtedly become a top-grade powerhouse in the future.
Moreover, someone like Xin Leng would be sought after by the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects.
Yet he chose none of these, instead joining the Phoenix Sect, so naturally, Su Han could not neglect him.
After completing all these tasks, Su Han left via the teleportation formation on Phoenix Star; when he appeared again, he was already in the domain of Star of Heavenly Mountain.
Star of Heavenly Mountain remained as it was, operating peacefully.
And the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, though neither retreating nor greatly advancing, could not keep up with the expansion of the Phoenix Sect, having been left far behind over the years.
Of course, no one dared to provoke the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion!
Wherever the Phoenix Sect tread, there were rumors about the Phoenix Sect Leader and the Master of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion.
Many forces knew that the Master of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion was a beauty, enchanting and peerless, and although nothing substantial had happened between her and the Phoenix Sect Leader, a thin layer of ambiguity existed.
To provoke the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion was to provoke the Phoenix Sect!
...
Seeing Su Han arriving, the disciples on the outer layer of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion were slightly stunned, then immediately showed respect.
"We greet Sect Master Su!"
Today’s Phoenix Sect was completely different from the past, able to suppress even major sects like the Immortal Sun Sect, far beyond Heavenly Mountain Pavilion’s comparison.
They had to show deference.
"No need for that."
Su Han smiled slightly, waving his hand at these disciples, saying, "Stand up, I once said, as long as I’m on Star of Heavenly Mountain, then I am still a disciple of Star of Heavenly Mountain, so you don’t need to call me Sect Master Su, ’Senior Brother Su’ feels more intimate."
Hearing this, smiles appeared on the disciples’ faces.
"Senior Brother Su, being the Phoenix Sect Leader, and in star-wise dominance of nearly ten thousand stars as the greatest sect, yet still so approachable, we are in admiration!"
This was not flattery, but sincere.
Su Han shook his head, without saying more, but asked, "Is the Pavilion Master at the residence?"
"Yes."
The disciple hesitated slightly, then said, "The Pavilion Master was in closed-door cultivation, but as soon as she heard of your return, she immediately came out."
Su Han was taken aback, a smile lifted on his lips, and he headed towards the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion’s sect residence.
...
The sect residence of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion had not changed.
Even if tens of thousands of years passed, the boudoir remained the same boudoir.
Standing before the door, the surrounding guardians had already left.
They knew at this moment they shouldn’t stay here.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Raising his hand, he lightly knocked on the door, producing muffled knocking sounds.
But inside the room, there was no response.
Su Han smiled helplessly and pushed open the door, walking in.
That peerlessly beautiful figure came into view the moment Su Han entered.
Still as captivating, still as... cold as frost.
Two cups of clear tea, steaming with heat, were already placed on the table.
Su Han stepped forward to sit opposite Ren Qinghuan.
He didn’t speak, simply gazed at the delicate face before him.
Under his gaze, a blush gradually appeared on Ren Qinghuan’s fair cheeks, growing deeper...
"Hehe..."
At one moment, Su Han let out a light laugh, teasing, "I heard our beautiful Pavilion Master exited closed-door cultivation early because of me?"
"Nonsense."
Ren Qinghuan picked up a teacup, took a light sip, feigning calmness, "When it was time to come out, this pavilion naturally came out, how could it be because of someone?"
"Alright, alright..."
Su Han shook his head helplessly.
This stubborn woman was always like this, never acting coy.
"When did you get back?" Ren Qinghuan glanced at Su Han.
After that glance, her eyes wanted to stray, but for some reason, staring at his sharply defined face, Ren Qinghuan’s eyes couldn’t move.
