...

Half a month later, in a luxurious hotel.

In a huge room filled with vibrant red rose patterns, the atmosphere was exceptionally romantic.

On a red bed that matched the theme, two figures lay.

"Ya Fei, I will be leaving the Imperial Capital soon. There is something I must do," Soul Changqing said, holding Ya Fei.

Ya Fei was instantly startled. The happiness and sweetness on her face vanished, and she quickly asked, 

"Where are you going! I'll go with you!"

Soul Changqing's face showed a hint of sorrow as he said, 

"Ya Fei, I've never told you about my past. This matter has always been hidden in my heart. I am from Zhongzhou, the head of a small family. Some time ago, my family provoked a powerful enemy, and the entire family was destroyed, leaving only me to escape with injuries. I fled far from Zhongzhou and eventually arrived in Utan City, where I met you.

Those were the happiest and most joyful times of my life. I love you deeply.

However, I know I have a vendetta to settle. Every time I close my eyes, the faces of my deceased family members appear in my mind, impossible to shake off.

So I must leave. I need to become stronger and avenge my clan! I'm sorry, Ya Fei."

Ya Fei was immediately reduced to tears, gripping Soul Changqing's hand tightly and crying out, 

"I'll go with you! I don't want to leave you... I can't live without you!"

Soul Changqing sighed, looking at Ya Fei, and said, 

"Ya Fei, my enemy is extremely powerful. Even with my current strength, a single misstep could cost me my life. You are the woman I love most, and I cannot involve you in my affairs, risking even the slightest chance of harm!"

"I'm not afraid! I won't stop you from avenging your family because of my own selfishness. But I want to be with you. I'm not afraid of anything as long as I'm with you. If I lose you, I won't have the courage to live!"

Ya Fei's gaze was fixed on Soul Changqing, her eyes filled with determination.

"No, Ya Fei, listen to me. I understand your feelings, but trust me, I won't go to my death in vain. I will work hard to become stronger. When I have enough power, I will avenge my clan and return to the Imperial Capital to marry you in grandeur!"

Ya Fei, hearing Soul Changqing's firm tone and his promise, buried her head in his chest and sobbed uncontrollably.

"I believe you... Changqing... I believe you! I'll wait for you in the Imperial Capital... whether it's ten years... or twenty years... I'll wait here for you to come back and marry me!"

Soul Changqing, hearing Ya Fei's words, felt a twinge of softness. After all, she loved him deeply, but he steeled his heart. No matter what, his cultivation was the most important thing to him.

Ya Fei was not suitable to stay by his side. Her strength was too weak, and a mere Martial Master could easily kill her.

Leaving her by his side would expose her to all sorts of dangers, and even a slight misstep could cost her her life.

Soul Changqing couldn't always protect her while focusing on his own affairs, and this would greatly slow his progress, which he absolutely could not allow. Therefore, it was best for Ya Fei to stay in the Imperial Capital.

Soul Changqing gently stroked Ya Fei's smooth back as she cried in his arms. Suddenly, Ya Fei sat up, tightly embracing Soul Changqing's head and kissed him fiercely.

"Now... love me!"

Soul Changqing was initially taken aback but then smiled.

"As you wish, my... Miss Ya Fei..."

...

The next day, Soul Changqing left the Imperial Capital with Hai Boudong, heading for the Black-Corner Region.

Before leaving, Soul Changqing gave Ya Fei the Purple Beast, which could protect and accompany her. This was the only thing he could do for her now.

Ya Fei, holding the Purple Beast, watched Soul Changqing leave, her heart filled with indescribable sorrow. She didn't know when she would see him again.

However, her gaze gradually became determined. She wanted to help Soul Changqing. Since her talent was lacking and she couldn't help him in terms of strength, she would provide him with an endless supply of cultivation resources. Various ideas flashed through her mind, and her eyes sparkled with determination.

When Soul Changqing's figure completely disappeared, Ya Fei turned resolutely and headed toward the Mitter Auction House. Her demeanor had changed, exuding a newfound confidence, hinting at her future as the
