    "I only hope that in this Sword Pavilion, he will only hate me in the future." He casually pulled a decorative peach blossom branch from a vase beside him. The branch was slender and graceful, with even a few scattered peach blossoms on it, beautiful and delicate. "I will use this as my sword to duel with you..." "If even one peach blossom falls from this branch during the duel, you will win." He didn't wield a sword, but a flower. Applause immediately erupted from all directions, and the crowd stood up and exclaimed, "A banished immortal!" "Regret? What's the use of regret?" Can regret bring someone back to life? "Of course it's cold, after all, it's in the north." Snow was falling all around, it was indeed very cold... Death wasn't scary, Yan Nanxu had never been afraid, anyway, he had no ties in that world, but... There were a few people he had to settle accounts with, one by one, and even if he went to hell, he would drag them down with him! "Once he becomes the Supreme One, he can naturally have his wishes fulfilled, but... The joy he felt eating a piece of candy as a child and the feeling he gets from eating a piece of candy as an adult will probably never be the same." Childhood always leaves behind something worth remembering. Yan Nanxu dislikes snow... The wind here is biting, the snow falls heavily, it's too cold. In his daze, he often recalls the pain of slowly suffocating in the snow in his past life... He came under orders, he left willingly. In his daze, he thinks of the misty, rainy Jiangnan he often sees, willow catkins drifting in the wind, full of vitality. Jiangnan has the gentlest scenery, and also the most resolute spirit; it can be warm and inviting in spring, and it can also brave the snow and frost. Perhaps this is how people are raised, possessing both strength and gentleness. "Since I am here, why am I not a member of this world?" "The road ahead is uncertain, life and death are unpredictable." "All men must die; it is inevitable." "I speak the truth, yet I cannot speak recklessly. This chance encounter is already the culmination of a hundred lifetimes of glances; how can I ask for more?" The bright moon, descended to save humanity, is ultimately stained with blood. The living are but passersby, the dead are those who return home; heaven and earth are but a fleeting inn, all sharing the sorrow of countless ages. In a daze, only desolation remains in those eyes, a vast, barren desert. Gone are the starry skies and bright moon of Jian Ge that he once cherished; gone is the harmonious blend of strength and gentleness of the Jiangnan region that he once sought. "Keep your original intention alive... Never lose it, never let it go..." "Why did you kill your master?! You think he treated you badly? He saved you twice! He deliberately walked away when he knew you wanted candied hawthorns! He even forged this sword for you himself!!" "'Nanxu'? Flying catkins of Jiangnan? What a beautiful name." "It's like the east wind releasing a thousand trees of flowers at night, and blowing down stars like rain." "Imagine the stars in the sky gathering into countless points of light, then exploding into flower shapes, and the starlight falling like rain." "And what about killing someone? Where do you think is the best place to shoot?" "The heart." "A normal person's heart is located in the lower left part of the chest cavity, right here..." "Shoot." "Nanxu, are you joking?" "I'm telling you to shoot." "Why would I have to shoot my friend?" "Because if I don't shoot, more people will die!" "Perhaps there are other ways." "No matter how many other ways there are, at that moment you only have one choice: shoot! We don't have that many opportunities or choices. Look at this world, what else do you think we can lose?" "Newborn children cannot grow up, teenagers die young, and if this continues, only extinction awaits humanity. Therefore, for the survival of humanity, your determination must be willing to gamble everything." Look forward, don't look back, never look back. No matter what you've lost, the future lies ahead. What's lost can't be recovered. Remember, the past cannot be changed, but the future can still be pursued… "Nanxu, it's dawn. We no longer need to search for light in the darkness. It's dawn…" "A ruthless person?" "He will be a monarch. It doesn't matter if a monarch is ruthless, after all, one general's fame is built on the bones of ten thousand. But these 'ten thousand bones' can be soldiers on the battlefield, his political enemies, or his competitors, but they should never be ordinary people!" "The flowers of the imperial city laugh at the long-time hermit, thirty years have passed without early spring. What does Lord Cao think of this?" If obsession can be satisfied, then let the soul be scattered. Petals fall, crimson petals carpet the ground… Expectations may be dashed, hopes may be shattered… The bare branches no longer bear the vibrant blossoms of memory, what a pity… "I…can I…can I see the flowers bloom one more time?" The roadside flowers haven't yet bloomed, the world's splendor hasn't ended, who can truly be without attachments? Night has fallen, you should go home, someone is waiting for you. "Isn't it beautiful? Little Xu'er, I asked, it's called Spirit Grass, it's really beautiful! Such a large patch!" A thousand acres of purple light blend with warmth, ten thousand miles of fragrance permeate the heart. "Little Xu'er!" "I've finished counting the lotus flowers, there are seven hundred and twenty-one lotus flowers in total!" Why? Because you call him "Little Xu'er," because you always cling to him, because you like to hold onto his clothes when you walk, because... Because... "You... You counted a whole pond of lotus flowers..." You spent days counting all the lotus flowers in the pond because of one lie he told you... Flowers as burial, green grass as offerings, bloodstains on his clothes like blooming red plum blossoms, robes and black hair scattered on the ground, it's a very beautiful scene, but... Yes, it will be very happy, just like the system was sad when it saw Yan Nanxu disappear, it understood joy and sorrow from it, this is the joy and sorrow that Yan Nanxu gave it, it's magical, unforgettable, as if it has been given real life. "This," "He... In the end, he gave himself a sliver of divinity, repairing his soul..." Something seems to be hidden beneath this calm, perhaps just a faint sense of loss, or perhaps a heavy, heart-wrenching pain... "The land is very beautiful, I want to walk around, Wen Tian also likes the flowers and sunshine there, I'll go with him." This journey is to the ends of the earth, don't talk about the return date, there is no return date. "He picked it casually, and I planted it casually too. Will it really sprout?" A chance encounter? Is it truly unintentional now? I fear it might be a deliberate effort that fails to yield results. "Where are you going?" "To a distant place." "Is the distant place death?" "You cough so much at night you can't sleep, often staying up all night." "No, the distant place isn't death, it never has been." He might have stopped somewhere—perhaps a small town in Jiangnan, a border village, or perhaps a small boat, a desolate wilderness… Or perhaps he hasn't stopped, still continuing his journey, searching for the distant place… Is the distant place death? Of course not, it's a beautiful return, the home of loved ones, the end of all pursuits and expectations… Ultimately, the distant place is solace. Clad in green robes, carrying a sword, dashing and elegant, a true wandering knight-errant. "Nanxu? What a nice name! I love Jiangnan, and I love willow catkins. When willow catkins fly, it means spring has arrived." "Hmm, let's call it 'Oath of the Peach Garden'!" The events of that day feel like a nightmare; now I wake, and my beloved is gone. What if he were already dead? "Let me put it this way, you saved me twice. The first time you said it was just a casual rescue, but the second time… you risked your life to save me." "So," "I'm a good friend, a good brother, and a savior—in short, a very important person." "What did you say my name was before?" "Nanxu, Yan Nanxu." "A nice name." "It's your name!" "Is there anything else you want to know? Oh, and that peach grove, the place where we swore our oath of brotherhood. Now the blossoms are over; next spring I'll take you there to see it…" "I don't remember anything from before. I don't remember any of what you said." "So what?" "If you really don't remember, that's fine. There will be new memories later." As long as everyone is well, the future is always more worth looking forward to than the past. Alas, your heart is not my heart, leaving me with unrequited love. Yet, where my heart finds peace, I find sweetness in it all. It was an old acquaintance, someone he could connect with from the past… Name? It didn't matter. He didn't need to know. Leaving Xuan Valley would give him a truly free future, and the memories of Xuan Valley and the self within those memories didn't need to be recalled, nor should they. His future had neither Xuan Valley nor "Ming Qi"—this was the best outcome. With his heart bound, where could he find solace, where could he return? Whether it was atonement or judgment, Ming Xu would accept it. Ironically, at this moment, he still clung to a sliver of hope—perhaps it wasn't her, perhaps there were others behind him… But behind him was only one person. Ming Xu suddenly understood. When Zhou Wan looked at him earlier, her gentle gaze wasn't out of affection, but simply her usual way. He had been deluding himself. But… but… but why had he lied to him? Why had he used that method to deceive him? In his memory, Zhou Wan had always been gentle, smiling gently, saying gently that he should treat this place as his home—truly gentle, cruelly gentle. "I don't care where he's from, to me, his only identity is my friend. Now I'm going to find him, please get out of my way!" "I won't listen? Yes, I won't listen! I never imagined that in the end my parents would be accomplices to evil! Do you know how many people have died?!" "Nanxu..." "He became like that because of me. If he has any sins in this world, I will share half with him!!" "What are you asking me for repayment for? You didn't do anything to me..." "Why is this happening, Mother? Why are you doing this? You said you liked him, you said you hoped he would be your child too, why is this happening? Why... What is he supposed to do? I've had it so hard, I've had it so hard..." "I've been thinking, what did Nanxu do wrong? I've thought and thought, and finally I've figured it out." "It's saving me! The worst thing he did was save me! He shouldn't have saved me in the first place!" Flowers can bloom for a long time in the thicket, but once picked, they fade away. "That's strange," "Then why are you so persistent?" "Because of the Immortal Brother, I have to save him." "By the way, I've never asked, why do you call Nanxu that?" "Because the Immortal Brother is very handsome, and very gentle." "Then let me remind you, sometimes he might not be as gentle as you think." "What do you mean?" "To put it simply, he can also kill with his sword, he's not always as gentle and harmless as you remember." "I know that, I've seen it, the Immortal Brother's swordsmanship is very powerful." "Aren't you afraid? Even immortals can shed blood and kill." "Why should I be afraid?" "It's like the saying, 'A Bodhisattva lowers his brows, a Vajra glares fiercely.' The Bodhisattva lowers his brows for salvation, and so does the Vajra glare. The Immortal Brother's gentleness is for my sake, and when he sheds his sword to kill, it's to protect me, so..." "How could anyone not like the Immortal Brother?" He's not an immortal untouched by worldly dust, sometimes he might even be stained with blood, seemingly demonic yet not immortal. Even immortals can shed blood and kill. "Do people really eat others to increase their power?" "Yes, many would be willing..." I never imagined there would be so many... Years have passed, flowers have fallen, the past is but a dream, but let us not say all is vanity. The departed have returned; it is not too late to cherish the memories of yesteryear. The greatest sorrow is the separation of life and death, to the netherworld, to the ashes, to be left without a trace. "Because saving the common people is never anyone's responsibility. No one is obligated to shoulder such a responsibility. When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when prosperous, one should help the world. But for the common people, each person's strength is insignificant. The common people shouldn't rely on one person to save them; that would be too much to ask." "You just want revenge. You can't kill Elder Xuan, so why do you think we can? Or are you simply sending us to our deaths?" "No, you can, only you can." "What do you mean?" "My poison can kill Elder Xuan, but the problem is I can't let the poison enter Elder Xuan's body undetected. Once he's on guard, it will fail..." "Then I discovered you. You are the medicinal herb he carefully cultivated. He will definitely eat you, without any suspicion, and earnestly." "... You poisoned me, and you want me to kill him?" "This is our only way." "This is your way!" "A method you devised without even asking me!" "You'll die even if you don't go. The poison is too strong; in a little over a month, your bones will melt away!" "Don't bother with that. I'll die before then!" "Do you think it would be too easy for me to silently poison everyone in this courtyard, given my abilities?" "Or perhaps, the poison has already been administered." The mission was merely for Ye Chen to cultivate the Blood Cloud Scroll; now that the mission was complete, he would simply leave. It was his incompetence; he couldn't possibly do anything more for the world anyway! "Fairy brother, saving the world is such a thankless and arduous task. Let whoever wants to do it do it. Let's go." "I didn't intend to save the world." "But don't say things like that. You have a long road ahead of you." "No need. I've already traveled a long way, I..." "You still have a long way to go, an even longer road." "And what about you? You'll pave the way for us, and then what?" "Then I'll go home." "Home?" "Yes, I've been gone for a long time, it's time to go home." "Can't you go back now?" "I hope that when I leave, your future will be bright and sunny. That way, every time I'm happy at home over beautiful scenery, I can imagine that you have the same feelings at some point. I hope you have a future, otherwise I'll be left with irreparable regrets." Saving the world is indeed an absurd task, but the people and things he cares about are just ordinary people among the masses. "Then..." "When should I come to see you?" "Don't come to see me. I'll go home after I've finished everything." "Home?" "Where do you live? I can take you home." "I can only walk home alone, otherwise I won't be able to get back." "I really want to go back." "Can I visit you later?" "I'm sorry, no." "I..." "I feel... I don't know, Nanxu, I don't know. Is this the right thing to do? Should I do this?" "Do you believe me?" "But it's so unlucky. I haven't bought a straw hat yet. I feel like my straw hat and yours are really incompatible... And, and that peach grove, all the flowers are gone. The fruit will probably be ripe by now, and there won't be any flowers to see... It's really, so unlucky..." "The flowers will bloom again next year." But it's just that the flowers are similar year after year, but the people are different year after year. Regret? Not really. Yan Nanxu didn't regret anything, just... Just very sad... He thought he could go back. Why couldn't he go home in the end? The other shore is peaceful, yet forever represents the past; this shore is complex, yet can write the future. Yan Nanxu walked to the screen under her parents' gaze, staring at the peach branch, then turned and smiled at them, tears glistening in her eyes—neither sorrow nor joy, but the enduring spirit that remained unchanged after countless trials. Willow catkins drift with the wind, peach blossoms follow the flowing water, spring's beauty flourishes. A sudden snowstorm, half a lifetime of ups and downs—was it misfortune or destiny? This awakening is not the end of fate; with the clear breeze and bright moon as a reminder, with the vast mountains and rivers as a map, she speaks of life and death, spring's beauty remains unchanged. A single thought is eternal; this heart remains untainted by worldly splendor, quietly awaiting the blooming flowers—a world unto itself, a three-foot platform. All the past is like fallen petals carried away by the waves—visible, yet untraceable; no one can forget it, but there's no need to be bound by it. The branches are still adorned with blossoms; let us not waste this day. Winter goes, spring comes, snow melts, flowers bloom; though near, yet far; the road ahead is not yet over. We still have countless springs, summers, autumns, and winters to come.

The two main female leads are a traumatized, icy protagonist and a persistently pursuing, sunny one.
