Chapter 2061: Chapter 2105: The Paths of Everyone
It turned out that Fairy Yun Shang had been waiting outside for him all along.
He teleported over, silently sat by her side, wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.
Fairy Yun Shang leaned against him and said, "You’re going beyond the heavens, aren’t you?"
Jiang Fan felt affectionate in his heart, Fairy Yun Shang knew everything.
Yet, she did not compete with True Word Venerable and Green Pearl over Jiang Fan before he left, merely embraced silently.
Just like Xu Youran used to.
He nodded, "Going to the Moon Palace and then leaving."
Fairy Yun Shang wrapped her arms around his waist, softly whispered, "Come back safely."
"Caiyi also asked me to pass a message, not to worry about her and the child, and to take better care of yourself."
Pass a message?
Why didn’t Gong Caiyi come to say goodbye herself?
The next moment, he understood; Gong Caiyi didn’t want to face the farewell, to prevent sadness affecting the fetus.
Jiang Fan kissed her forehead once and said, "You two take good care."
The breeze blew, stirring their long hair, intertwining with each other.
One in white as pure as snow, one in black fluttering.
Like two jade people accompanying each other in a world of night rain.
Jiang Fan quietly gazed at the familiar Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, filled with countless thoughts.
The scenery here, the stories in this place, the people here, will be an unforgettable eternal painting in his life.
No matter how far he travels, no matter how long he journeys, he will always find it hard to forget when he looks back.
At this moment.
A pair of man and woman also arrived side by side.
The man was dressed in a sky-blue long robe, with a refined and handsome demeanor, a middle-aged man of great pride.
Beside him was a middle-aged woman, still full of charm, proudly lifting her chin.
Watching them arm in arm coming through the clouds, Jiang Fan was a bit taken aback: "Pavilion Master, Qian Lan Fairy, what’s this about?"
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master chuckled lightly, "Qian Lan and I are planning to become Dao Companions."
Jiang Fan suddenly stood up, showing a bit of excitement.
Decades ago, Qian Lan Fairy had deeply rooted feelings for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master.
However, back then, the resources at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had dried up, and Qian Lan Fairy moved far away to Taicang State while Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master was ordered by the Old Pavilion Master to take on the mission as Pavilion Master.
Thus, both sides lingered for decades.
Now, they have finally achieved success.
Jiang Fan clasped his hands together in greeting, teasing: "Pavilion Master, if you’re being forced, just blink."
"Hey!" Qian Lan Fairy exploded beside him, "Stinky boy, what do you mean?"
"You are the Champion Marquis, the tenth sage of Central Earth, why do you still deliberately annoy me?"
Jiang Fan couldn’t help but laugh, "Who asked you to always want to be the Pavilion Master’s wife and clean me up?"
Qian Lan Fairy ground her teeth and said fiercely, "Well you can rest assured, I can no longer be the Pavilion Master’s wife!"
Hm?
Jiang Fan showed confusion, looking towards the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master.
The Pavilion Master smiled easily, putting down the heavy burden and said, "Now that the Ancient Giants are gone, my mission is complete."
"I plan to step down as Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, and let Friend Yun Shang manage."
Jiang Fan was surprised and tried to dissuade, "Pavilion Master..."
The Pavilion Master waved his hand, smiling, "The future belongs to you young people."
"It’s time for me as Pavilion Master to step aside and give way to the virtuous. I hope that in your hands, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will continue to reach new heights of glory."
The sudden news blocked Jiang Fan’s throat as if something was stuck, and his voice had a hint of choke.
He had anticipated that many would leave the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
But never had he thought the Pavilion Master would be one to leave.
"Where do you plan to go then?"
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master held Qian Lan Fairy’s hand, smiled and said, "I often hear the Central Earth Nine Provinces is endlessly scenic, yet I haven’t had the chance to see it."
"Life is fleeting, and half has unknowingly passed. I want to take Qian Lan to explore."
"To see the land we have guarded for thousands of years, the homeland we have protected endlessly."
A gentle breeze blew by.
The two temples of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, slightly whitened, swayed and danced, while in the black hair of Qian Lan Fairy, strands of gray subtly flashed.
Turns out, they’ve aged without noticing.
Their generation has carried too much, and sacrificed greatly as well.
Now, with the world at peace, it’s time for them to rest.
Jiang Fan withdrew the intention to persuade, showed a smile, and offered his blessings:
"When will you marry?"
Qian Lan Fairy snorted, "Well, do you want to give a big gift, right?"
Jiang Fan laughed, "Of course! I’ll prepare a big surprise, just to annoy you again."
Qian Lan Fairy stomped her foot, "Tianzhou, control him!"
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master laughed, "How can I control him now?"
"Sure, on our wedding day, we’ll definitely invite you."
Jiang Fan cupped his hands.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master also wiped away his smile, cupping his hands: "Jiang Fan, life’s journey is long, and the path ahead may be arduous."
"Take care!"
Jiang Fan replied, "Pavilion Master, you too, take care!"
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master and Qian Lan Fairy walked away shoulder to shoulder, not looking back, nor daring to look back.
Because at this moment, in the eyes of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, tears were rolling.
Fairy Yun Shang’s delicate eyes filled with a mist, silently watching the Pavilion Master’s figure disappear from view, whispering:
"An era has ended."
Jiang Fan looked up at the sky.
For the Ancient Giants, the elder generation who devoted their lives, indeed their era has ended.
But his and the current sages’, not yet.
If the Dark Tide is not stopped, the peace of Central Earth, hard-won over thousands of years, will vanish like a bubble, in a blink.
He has to keep moving forward!
Seeing all the guests have left, the now deserted Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Jiang Fan asked, "Who else has gone?"
Yun Shang wiped her tears and replied, "Red Demon Venerable has left Central Earth with Gu Xin’er."
"Red Demon Venerable couldn’t enter the Sages this time and wants to seek merit outside the world."
Jiang Fan smiled.
Recalling the stories of the master and apprentice coming to the Continent Tianji Pavilion in search of top-grade crystal stones.
Now, this master and apprentice are embarking on a new journey once again.
"Ling Shu also left with Nine Nether Demon Venerable, she asked me to tell you, she’s looking forward to our promise on the grassland," Yun Shang continued.
In Jiang Fan’s heart arose the image of that gentle and fresh youthful girl akin to first love.
The corners of his mouth showed a hint of warmth.
"I will try my best to keep the promise."
Yun Shang also mentioned, "Additionally, Hua Wuying returned to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, and Jiang Wuya Senior, has taken his sword and gone to the Nine States, to act chivalrously."
"Liang Feiyan, Ren Guhong, Wang Chongling, the three former mythical prodigies of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, along with Chuyue Demon Emperor, the four of them plan to team up and venture outside."
"Finally, Mingye Shura King, the Ice and Fire Demon Lord, and Shu Bu Xu, have all returned to their tribes and Great States."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan sighed melancholically.
More than half of them want to leave or are about to.
Each of them has their own paths and ideals.
The era of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was just a part of the overlapping trajectory in their lives.
He took out several Void Feather Robes and handed them to Yun Shang, saying, "Whoever wants to go to the Void, give these to them."
Yun Shang put them into the Space Storage Device, clutching tightly to Jiang Fan’s arm.
The moment of farewell had arrived.
"Make sure to come back."
Jiang Fan leaned down, kissed her forehead, "I promise."
Yun Shang released her grip, quietly saying goodbye.
Jiang Fan flew away, and after traveling some distance, he turned back to look.
Yun Shang still stood there, hands clasped in front of her abdomen, silently waiting, until Jiang Fan could no longer see her figure.
