Seeing her suddenly burst into tears, Cheng Su was startled and quickly reached out to wipe her tears, anxious as she asked, "What happened? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Su Yu's emotions were in turmoil, and the thought of what could be happening made her tremble all over, unable to explain why.

She clung tightly to Cheng Su, tears streaming down her face. After a while, she managed to say, "Su Su, Master... Master might have returned. She's back... wuwu."

Cheng Su was also incredulous upon hearing this. Her eyes widened slightly in disbelief, "Ah Yu, what are you saying?"

"Master, Master has returned. I was so foolish, how did I not think of it? It's so obvious, Aliri's whole spirit has returned. Just look at her eyes, they've completely changed. I was so foolish to think she was just using Long Chi as a substitute."

Cheng Su, who had been friends with Luo Qingci for many years, and who also had a relationship with Su Yu, had hoped for her return every day over the past decade.

Now, she was both happy and confused. Su Yu's disjointed words left her even more bewildered.

The name Long Chi had been discussed among the disciples of the Tianyan Sect, as it was said to be a disciple of Ruan Li. Cheng Su had been surprised at that time and had wanted to ask Su Yu about it, and now hearing Su Yu mention the name again, she was even more puzzled.

Cheng Su wanted to ask Su Yu why she was saying this, but seeing Su Yu's uncontrollable emotions, she could only continue to comfort her first. She patiently patted Su Yu's back and gently soothed her.

"Ah Yu, don't cry. This is great news, you should be happy. Where is Master? What do you mean she might have returned? Can you tell me more?"

Cheng Su's gentle concern made Su Yu feel much better. Once she had calmed down in Cheng Su's arms, Su Yu looked up at her. For some reason, the first words she blurted out were tinged with nasal tones and affection, "I missed you so much."

Cheng Su felt her heart give a gentle jolt, unable to suppress a smile. It was truly rare for the usually composed Su Yu to openly express such longing.

She lowered her gaze, holding back her smile, and said, "So you're not just missing Master anymore?"

Her words were teasing, mixed with a hint of jealousy, but her hands were tenderly holding Su Yu and patting her back.

Su Yu's cheeks flushed, feeling a bit anxious. She hurriedly said, "I often think of you. I wanted to find you these past few days, but Aliri suddenly went out and hasn't returned, so I didn't manage to come."

For years, Su Yu had supported the Tianyan Sect alone while worrying about Ruan Li, so Cheng Su naturally knew of her hardships. Thus, her slight reproach was not in anger but in concern.

Cheng Su pinched Su Yu's nose playfully, "Silly girl, I know you were delayed, so I came to you."

A simple statement like this made Su Yu's heart melt. If she weren't outside, she would have been unable to resist kissing Cheng Su.

"You still haven't told me, who is Long Chi? And what do you mean by Luo Qingci's return?"

At this, Su Yu couldn't help herself. Her expression changed multiple times in an instant, and she finally stammered out the details to Cheng Su.

Cheng Su was also shocked, and Su Yu, still flustered, asked again, "Su Su, what you said made me realize that although I didn't know the details of Aliri's feelings for Master, I could sense how much she cared for Master. She has risked everything for Master multiple times. When Master left for ten years, Aliri's soul was gone for ten years as well. Now that she has suddenly changed, there must be a reason. Isn't that right? If I were in her place, encountering someone who resembles Master, I would also be dazed and want to be good to her, but I wouldn't be happy. I should be sad instead. You don't know, the way she looks at Long Chi, it's truly as if she's looking at her beloved, utterly captivated."
