Broken Bonds

Chapter 65

Chapter 65:

"Sect Master, I am leaving today, in the future, Li'er, please take good care of him."

"You don't have to say that."

"I know the Sect Master loves him very much." Yan Feili smiled slightly, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his smile. "Madam..."

Beitang Ao understands what he means: "Don't worry about that. Yanyan is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She is very measured in doing things. For Li'er, maybe she would take care of Hui'er better but she will never treat Li'er badly."

"I believe it." Yan Feili lowered his head, looking at Li'er and said: "I believe she will be a good mother..."

When he saw Li'er being quiet and curious in her arms that day, he knew that this woman might not love his child very much, but she is the best candidate to be his child's mother. Because she has something in her body that he lacks. That is exactly what a true mother should have, a kind of mother that he could not be.

Yan Feili may never figure out what that kind of thing is for a lifetime, but he was once a child, an orphan, and had a vague desire for that kind of thing. Now, he also felt that desire in his own child. For him, that is something that can give him peace of mind. Although Lin Yanyan is not the child's biological mother, she can give him what a man himself cannot give. Maybe this is good for Li'er.

Beitang Ao felt a little uneasy, feeling that Yan Feili's attitude was a bit strange. But he also felt that maybe he was just overly sensitive. After all, he transferred him away to let him leave the rudder, and leave the child. He felt uncomfortable, and it seemed reasonable.

"Sect Master, take him down now." Yan Feili held Li'er for a long time, and finally made up his mind to pass him resolutely to Beitang Ao.

Beitang Ao called the maid and took the child who was still asleep. There were now only two people left in the room. In the silence, he stared at Beitang Ao, with a look that seemed wanting to engrave his appearance deeply in his mind.

Beitang Ao was a little confused for a while, but for a short moment, he seemed to have been watching him for a thousand years.

Beitang Ao became more and more uneasy under his gaze, he stepped forward, trying to get close to him, but stopped.

Yan Feili smiled slightly and said softly: "Sect Master, I am leaving now, you have to take care."

"Fei Li, you... also pay attention to your body." Beitang Ao wanted to say something, but only said this sentence.

"I see." Yan Feili suddenly looked upright and bowed respectfully in front of him: "This subordinate worships the Sect Master."

Beitang Ao was puzzled. Since their return from Hwaseong, the two of them have only been called this formally in front of outsiders. At this moment, seeing Yan Feili suddenly calling himself "subordinate", he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Get up."

Yan Feili got up slowly, he smiled gently, then took a deep look at him, and slowly turned around. The green robe was lifted, and a light breeze was set off, which faded away.

Beitang Ao frowned slightly, staring at Yan Feili's figure intently, disappearing into the courtyard of Shen Mei, as if a hole had been broken in his heart, rushing into the cold wind. He stretched out his hand blankly, always feeling...but he could not catch him...

There was a bad premonition in Beitang Ao's heart.

When the spring is cold, the winter snow melts.

Yan Feili was one person and one horse, with his own thin luggage. He did not worship anyone except Beitang Ao and left the rudder alone.

However, he did not go to the southern branch, nor did he go to any branch of the Four Heavenly Sect sub-rudders. Just like this, he disappeared into the grasp of the Heavenly Sect.

Ten days later, Beitang Ao got the news, the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground, and the dark tea stained his white clothes, but he didn't seem to notice.

"The Sect Master, the general's whereabouts are unknown now, I don't know if there was an accident, so this subordinate will send someone to look for him." Deputy General Shen knelt before the case to report.

After a long silence, the clear and cold voice came: "No need, no need to search..."

Lieutenant General Shen raised his head in amazement, looking at the Sect Master's hollow indifference.

Beitang Ao stood up and walked to the window, watching the gradual recovery of the spring in the courtyard, and said indifferently: "From today, you will rise to my door as the First General of the Northern Hall."

"Then, General Yan...?"

"...Three months. After three months, if each branch has not heard from him, the name 'Yan Fei Li' will be deleted from the Four Heavenly Sect roster!"

Lieutenant General Shen was shocked, and opened his mouth to ask what he wanted to ask, but he saw the face of the Sect Master as if being framed in front of the window, it was calm and beautiful, with a deep loneliness, a solemn face, and breathtaking aura.

When the words reached his lips, he couldn't help but swallow it back abruptly, but replied softly: "Yes." Then he retired.

Beitang Ao clenched his fists tightly, his slender nails were deeply embedded in his palms, but he had not noticed, especially unknowingly not realizing it. Bei Tang Ao closed his eyes tightly and breathed slowly. He didn't know how long before he opened them again, and showed a cold and firm color in his eyes.

──Since you want to leave, I will let you go! Because time will tell me everything! If one day, I get the answer, then, no matter where you hide, even at the end of the world, I will not let you go!

Thinking about this, Beitang Ao became cheerful, he let go of his clenched hands, and smiled softly.

──Three years. Just three years. Three years is enough time for us to think clearly...
