The Abandoned Young Master of a Wealthy Cultivation Family

Chapter 5092 Su Hanyue

Chapter 5092 Su Hanyue

Su Hanyue raised her beautiful eyebrows, still pressing the issue: "Then why have you come today? Is the spiritual energy in the Divine Realm insufficient?"

Su Bai stepped forward and, quite naturally and casually, sat down at the stone table opposite Su Hanyue. On the table sat an exquisite set of jade teaware, the tea in the pot still steaming. He picked up a teacup, poured himself a cup, took a sip, and praised, "Excellent tea."

Then, he raised his head, looked intently at Su Hanyue, and smiled:

"Because what has come today is not an avatar, but the true self."

"Bang!"

The teacup in Su Hanyue's hand wobbled slightly and hit the stone table with a crisp sound.

Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "You...you're back!?"

"Yes, I'm back." Su Bai put down his teacup and smiled calmly, as if he had just returned home from a long trip.

Su Hanyue took a deep breath to calm her agitated emotions.

She stood up and walked around Su Bai, her eyes, which seemed to see through people's hearts, carefully observing Su Bai from head to toe, as if to confirm the authenticity of the person in front of her.

Feeling the powerful yet restrained energy and the familiar fluctuations of her soul, she finally became absolutely certain.

“Compared to hundreds of thousands of years ago, you seem to be no different, except that your aura is even more unfathomable.” Su Hanyue sat down again, her tone complex. “When you left back then, you were so badly injured, even your foundation for the Great Dao was damaged. Now it seems that your injuries have been completely healed?”

Su Bai nodded slightly, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes: "Yes, we've experienced some twists and turns, but it can also be considered a blessing in disguise. If my injuries hadn't healed, I wouldn't be sitting here unharmed, drinking your tea."

The two remained silent for a moment, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Su Bai broke the silence, looked up at Su Hanyue with a hint of inquiry and a smile in his eyes, and asked, "I heard from Zuo Qiu and the others that with the departure of Emperor Tian and the others, there are no longer any Divine-grade experts guarding the Chaos Universe. Those who have reached the Divine grade have already embarked on the Ancient Star Road to pursue higher realms."

"But you... if I'm not mistaken, your aura is flawless and your laws are restrained, it seems you've already reached the Divine Realm, and may not be far from that higher level. Why are you so low-key? You've even kept it from Zuoqiu and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hanyue glanced at him indifferently, a disdainful smile curving her lips, and then said, "Otherwise what? How can I be high-profile? Do you expect me to beat drums and announce to the world that I, Su Hanyue, have stepped into the Divine Realm? How utterly boring!"

Su Bai laughed and clapped his hands, saying, "That's true. To keep things hidden and remain unassuming is exactly the kind of character you, Moon Lord, possess."

“However…” Su Bai changed the subject, “After Dugu Yan and Di Jietian reached the Divine Rank, they couldn’t wait to leave here to explore a wider world. Aren’t you curious about the outside world at all? There might be opportunities there that can help you advance further.”

Su Hanyue looked at Su Bai, her gaze becoming somewhat deep and serious.

"Curiousness is natural. But I know even better that what you left in the Boundless Divine Realm before was just an avatar. Although its strength was considerable, it ultimately had its limits. If all those who have reached the Divine Rank and are capable of protecting this universe leave, who will be able to stand up and turn the tide should the Chaotic Universe face an unpredictable and powerful threat from the outside world in the future?"

"We can't possibly send your disciple Bei Minglian, who has only recently joined the sect, to face those storms alone, can we? Although she has good talent, she is still young after all."

Su Bai was shocked upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected that Su Hanyue would have such considerations and a broad perspective.

To protect this homeland and to share his burdens, she was willing to give up the opportunity to venture out into the world and silently stay here.

This friendship, this sense of responsibility, is far too heavy.

But he could also keenly sense that this might not be the only reason she stayed; perhaps there were other reasons as well...

Looking at Su Hanyue's aloof face, Su Bai wisely refrained from pressing the matter further.

The two sat facing each other, the aroma of tea wafting through the air, and remained silent for a moment.

Only the mountain wind howls, swirling up thousands of piles of snow.

In Su Bai's mind, scenes of fighting side by side with Su Hanyue involuntarily surfaced.

They first met in the desolate world, a significant part of his cultivation journey. At that time, Su Hanyue was exceptionally talented, and her combat strength was even slightly greater than his, making her someone he had to look up to.

Later, the two had many more entanglements in their relationship.

In the fierce battle at the Sacrifice Sea, Su Hanyue was severely injured, her physical body almost destroyed, and only a faint will remained to return to Frost Moon Sky to eke out a living.

It was Su Bai who spared no expense to find a divine medicine to help her rebuild her physical body and live another life.

Later, in that world-ending war that concerned the very survival of the chaotic universe, the two fought back to back, side by side, disregarding their own lives.

In truth, Su Hanyue was a friend who had gone through life-and-death trials with him and had an extremely close relationship with him! She could even be described as his confidante.

Thinking of these past memories, a warm feeling welled up in Su Bai's heart. He shook his head slightly, concealing the emotions in his eyes, and continued to pour himself a drink.

After a moment, Su Hanyue broke the silence and asked, "Judging from your appearance, you probably won't be staying long this time, right? Are you planning to leave?"

Su Bai put down his teacup, nodded, and his expression became solemn: "We must leave. This chaotic universe is good, but the current tranquility is only temporary. As you said, there are still many threats outside this chaotic universe, even terrifying beings capable of destroying everything. With my current cultivation level, I am not yet able to protect you and this homeland one hundred percent in the face of all these threats."

"Only by becoming stronger, strong enough to suppress all enemies, can I truly feel at ease."

Upon hearing this, Su Hanyue rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "Who needs your protection? I can protect myself! Stop trying to make yourself look good."

Although she said that, she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

Then she asked curiously, "Since you're leaving, take advantage of this free time and tell me about the outside world. I also want to know what the outside world, which you find so troublesome, is like."

Su Bai smiled, adjusted his posture, and then began to recount many interesting stories about the Myriad Realms, as well as those thrilling experiences.

He spoke of the vast and boundless starry sea, the bizarre and fantastical races, the incomparably powerful gods and immortals, and also of the despairing demon kingdom and the hidden dangers lurking in the shadows.

Su Bai made no attempt to conceal the dangers and cruelty from Su Hanyue.
