If it were before, it would have been fine, she could have made the decision by herself.
Now that she was married to Ye Yun, some matters required joint decision-making.
Ye Yun's attitude was quite straightforward.
"Follow your heart. Whether you agree or not, I will support you."
He smiled faintly, respecting Xing Wu's opinion.
Hearing this, Xing Wu breathed a sigh of relief and then nodded with a smile.
"A lot has happened recently, and I can't always let you protect me. I need to quickly gain my own self-preservation abilities."
Ye Yun shrugged and said helplessly.
"What's wrong with always being protected? No matter how much time passes, I will always be the same."
"Even if you don't care, I will."
Xing Wu shook her head and said.
From this conversation, one could understand her intentions.
Xing Wu had always been a strong-willed person with immense pride.
If she were to constantly rely on others, protected solely by Ye Yun, and become a delicate vase, that wouldn't be her.
Therefore, her stance was quite clear.
Since there was an opportunity to soar, she naturally had to seize it, strive to keep pace with Ye Yun, and not be a burden by his side.
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you."
Ye Yun took a deep breath and said.
"Since it's a matter of a few years, I'll wait for you a little longer."
Clearly, he was still uneasy leaving Xing Wu alone.
However, Xing Wu shook her head helplessly.
"How can that be? With your current situation, this is precisely the time to improve your strength everywhere. You absolutely cannot waste time here for nothing!"
"Besides, do you remember why we have to leave Tian Yu?"
While her earlier words hadn't fully registered with Ye Yun, the latter part reminded him.
Yes, he was so preoccupied with worrying about Xing Wu that he had almost forgotten this.
If he were to stay put here, it wouldn't be long before cultivators from other Nine-Tier Great Worlds came looking for him.
That would be a huge trouble for him and for Xing Wu.
Thinking of this, Ye Yun felt a headache and finally sighed.
"This... alright."
Although he was worried, Ye Yun also understood that he truly couldn't stop.
Only by venturing out would it be safest for him and for those around him...
However, he still looked at Elder Mei and asked.
"After this, can I still come back to visit her?"
Although it sounded a bit like Xing Wu was imprisoned here.
Elder Mei nodded and said, "That's up to you. However, until she fully absorbs the power, you likely won't be able to truly see her."
"That's alright, as long as she's safe."
Ye Yun smiled slightly, clearly still not entirely at ease with Elder Mei.
Although she knew this, Elder Mei didn't mind. Instead, she chuckled and said.
"You don't need to worry about this young lady. I will not let anyone harm her before she inherits my power."
"Then I thank you for your care, Senior."
Ye Yun nodded, expressing his gratitude.
If this matter truly proceeded smoothly, she would also be considered Xing Wu's half-master in the future.
With the agreement from both Ye Yun and Xing Wu, this matter was tentatively settled.
According to the subsequent plan, Xing Wu would temporarily stay here to focus on absorbing Elder Mei's power.
Ye Yun, on the other hand, would take Xing Meng and the others to Tian Lan Yu to participate in the Ten Thousand Realms Selection, planning to check on her progress after the event.
Before parting, Xing Wu smiled at Ye Yun and said.
"I will finish as quickly as possible and return to Tian Yu soon. You don't need to worry too much."
"Mm, I'll be waiting for you."
Ye Yun nodded, and they exchanged a look, everything unspoken understood.
The brief separation was for a better reunion and future, a truth that both Ye Yun and Xing Wu understood.
Since everything was decided, there was nothing more to say.
It was only then that Ye Yun learned that this relic was the Void City that Elder Mei had once presided over.
Why it had devolved into its current state, a ruin in the void, she didn't explain, but Ye Yun could vaguely guess it had something to do with that Black Emperor.
Finally, after the last farewell, Ye Yun and his group piloted the Azure Cloud outwards, heading towards Tian Lan Yu.
Xing Wu, however, remained to prepare for the inheritance of Elder Mei's power.
On the Azure Cloud.
With Xing Wu no longer by his side, the atmosphere on the flying ship became somewhat quiet.
Of course, this was mainly due to the absence of Ye Yun and Xing Wu's 'laughter'.
Ye Yun sat alone in the main control hall, watching the data flicker before him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"So this is what it feels like to suddenly have my wife gone..."
Although it was often said that married men wished their wives would leave for a while.
But that was under the premise that the wife wasn't beautiful enough, gentle enough, or charming enough. Otherwise, even a day's absence would leave one feeling empty...
Perhaps feeling that it wasn't appropriate to make a move on their master at this time.
Although it had been a few days since Xing Wu's departure, Lin Xueyan and the others hadn't swarmed him.
At this moment, the cabin door not far away opened, and a familiar figure walked in. It was Xing Meng.
"It's been three days, are you still thinking about that old woman?"
Ye Yun glanced at her. To be honest, due to their near-identical appearances,
Every time he saw her, he almost mistook her for Xing Wu returning.
Seeing that he didn't reply, and observing his gaze, Xing Meng pouted.
"Looking at me while thinking about another woman, you're really a scumbag."
It was evident that his inner thoughts had been directly pointed out by Xing Meng.
Ye Yun said helplessly, "It's a misunderstanding. It's just that you all look so alike!"
To this, Xing Meng merely snorted.
However, she then seemed to recall something and leaned forward with a smile.
"Too alike, is it? Like this?"
Xing Meng sat opposite Ye Yun, tilting her head as she looked at him, while playing with a strand of her long hair.
At the same time, she said with a hint of seductiveness.
"Then, considering you've treated me well, when you feel lonely, you can come to me for emotional and physical comfort."
Temptation!
Naked temptation!
Ye Yun looked up at her, and she had a face full of anticipation.
To be honest, Miss Xing Meng was more straightforward to understand than his own disciples.
Ye Yun said with some frustration, "You girl, trying to poach me at a time like this, aren't you afraid she'll come back?"
"Even then, it's fine!"
Xing Meng's lips curved upwards, looking like a cunning strategist.
"By then, as long as we make the 'raw rice into cooked rice,' preferably even have a child."
"She won't say anything, and she'll definitely refuse to be outdone and seek more contact with you to catch up to me."
