Upon hearing Su Yan’s question again, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but feel a bit troubled.
If he were to follow his own wishes, he definitely wouldn’t want Su Yan to take Tang Mengyun away.
Firstly, because the Mystic Lady Ice Heart Skill that Tang Mengyun now possessed was a huge hidden danger.
Secondly, in terms of cultivation guidance, his own expertise was undoubtedly many times superior to Su Yan’s.
However, Zhu Fei also understood that now that Su Yan had made this request to him, it seemed like an inquiry, but in reality, he had no choice at all unless Tang Mengyun herself was unwilling to follow Su Yan and leave.
Wait... Tang Mengyun was unwilling to follow Su Yan and leave?
The moment this thought crossed his mind, Zhu Fei immediately looked towards Tang Mengyun sitting across from him.
"Mengyun, what do you truly think about this matter?"
After all is said and done, the final decision was not really in his hands; everything still depended on Tang Mengyun’s own wishes.
Startled by Zhu Fei’s question, Tang Mengyun’s expression suddenly tensed.
For the first time, when she looked at Zhu Fei, a faint hint of apology crept into her gaze.
Nevertheless, in the end, she bravely bit her lip and said, "I want to follow Su Sect Leader to the Kunlun Xuan Realm for cultivation."
Hearing Tang Mengyun’s response, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh in his heart.
Although he had previously surmised Tang Mengyun’s decision, still, when he heard her response, he couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
"That... that Zhu Fei, I..."
"Haha, silly girl, I understand what you mean."
Before Tang Mengyun could finish speaking, Zhu Fei had already interrupted her with a laugh, forestalling the explanation she was about to give.
The two of them had been together for quite some time now; how could Zhu Fei not understand Tang Mengyun’s character and thoughts?
Plainly put, the real reason behind Tang Mengyun’s decision to go with Su Yan for cultivation in the Kunlun Xuan Realm was ultimately for her own sake.
Perhaps she had also realized that if she were to remain in the secular world, even with her exceptional talent for cultivation, it would still be impossible to catch up with her own pace of cultivation in a short amount of time.
Therefore, in order to not hold herself back, Tang Mengyun had made this decision.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fei felt a wave of warmth in his heart, and couldn’t help teasing Tang Mengyun with a smile:
"Silly girl, since you’ve already decided, why did you have Senior Su ask for my opinion?"
Perhaps not expecting Zhu Fei to suddenly say such a thing, Tang Mengyun was momentarily startled.
But she quickly recovered and couldn’t help but pout with a feigned huff:
"Humph! It’s because of you. And you’ve got the nerve to question me? It’s been such a long time; you didn’t even bother to call and ask about how I was doing. If I didn’t want to say goodbye, I wouldn’t have had You Lan call you here."
At that moment, Tang Mengyun seemed to revert back to her original self, adorable and a bit willful.
Hearing this, Zhu Fei once again didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
However, he understood that this was just Tang Mengyun’s temperament; what she said was often quite different from what she really felt in her heart.
"Alright, alright, isn’t an apology from me enough?"
Zhu Fei helplessly conceded.
As he spoke, he turned to Su Yan and with a formal fist salute, he said respectfully, "Senior Su, since Mengyun has made up her mind to follow you to the Kunlun Xuan Realm for cultivation, naturally, I have nothing more to say. From now on, I trust Senior Su to take good care of Mengyun."
There was a pause, and Zhu Fei seemed to think of something else, unable to help asking, "May I ask Senior Su if there are any difficulties in going to the Kunlun Xuan Realm? If I want to go there in the future, is it feasible?"
"Rest assured, since I have taken Mengyun as my disciple, I will naturally do everything in my power to protect her and will never let her suffer any grievance. Even if you did not mention it, I would have ensured this."
First, Su Yan answered with a smile, then she turned to look at Tang Mengyun, as if seeking her opinion.
Seeing this, Zhu Fei was slightly stunned and also looked towards Tang Mengyun.
However, his gaze was filled with suspicion and confusion.
"Su Sect Leader, perhaps it’s better to let Sister You Lan tell him after we leave."
Tang Mengyun first said this to Su Yan, and then she turned her head to look at Zhu Fei, saying with a proud aloofness:
"Zhu Fei, I will let Sister You Lan tell you about this matter when the time comes. Don’t ask any more questions for now. See how I will surprise you when I come back next time."
Zhu Fei suddenly had a perplexed expression; he could never have imagined that Tang Mengyun would say such a thing to him at this time.
"Hehe, Master Su, since we’ve already discussed almost everything, would you indulge me by letting me take you around, as you don’t often visit? How about that?"
Just then, Gu Youlan suddenly smiled at Su Yan, inviting her directly.
"You girl, sigh, all right then."
Without showing any emotion, Su Yan glanced at Zhu Fei and Tang Mengyun, then smiled wryly, shaking her head, she got up from her seat and walked on her own towards the exit of the reception hall.
"Hehe, Mengyun, here are the keys to my car. If you’d like, go out and take a stroll with Zhu Fei; I won’t be able to accompany you."
Seeing Su Yan leave, Gu Youlan laughed and tossed the keys to her Range Rover to Tang Mengyun, then squinted at Zhu Fei before she too turned and left.
Watching Su Yan and Gu Youlan leave one after the other, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but frown slightly.
He felt that he must have missed something just now, or rather, there was something he still did not know.
As he thought this, he suddenly felt his palm being grasped by a tender little hand, and then came a series of soft and smooth sensations.
Zhu Fei turned his head in astonishment and saw Tang Mengyun with a slightly flushed face, looking down, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Cough cough... Mengyun, what are you...?"
"Hmph! What’s wrong with me? You big dummy!"
It was as if Zhu Fei had poked at her mind, and Tang Mengyun immediately bristled.
She glared at him somewhat angrily, then seemed to think of something and couldn’t help but let out a gentle sigh.
"Zhu Fei, if, and I mean if, I were away from you for a long time, would you forget me?"
"Forget you? Why do you ask?"
Zhu Fei was somewhat puzzled and couldn’t help looking at Tang Mengyun with suspicion.
"Oh come on, don’t worry about why I’m asking. Just tell me, would you forget me?"
Tang Mengyun was a little exasperated, and impulsively pinched Zhu Fei’s arm hard, pretending to be displeased.
Zhu Fei was speechless but eventually smiled and nodded at Tang Mengyun, saying, "I wouldn’t."
"Really? You’re not lying to me?"
"Yes, absolutely true. I’m definitely not lying to you," Zhu Fei answered earnestly.
"Okay, then I believe you. Let’s go out too. It’s been a long time since you went shopping with me. For the remaining days, you’re not allowed to go anywhere else; you must stay and accompany me."
Mengyun seemed very happy, and without further ado, she pulled Zhu Fei by the hand and headed towards the outside of the hall.
