"Thank you, father. Thank you, mother. I will not let you down." Tian Chenyu clenched the spatial ring in his grasp with teary eyes.
"Don't lose it, Chenyu. Since it was created for cultivators, it was extremely expensive. We'll probably have nothing but plain rice to eat for the rest of the month because of that ring." His father said in a joking tone.
And he continued, "Also, you don't need to feel bad about leaving us behind. You're leaving for a great cause. Go out there and make a name for yourself so that we can brag about our son to our neighbors."
"Your father is right, Chenyu. I was only thinking about myself before and didn't consider your feelings, so you don't have to worry about me. Although I would be lying if I said that I won't be lonely and sad with you gone, it's nothing I cannot handle."
Tian Chenyu nodded.
"I won't leave immediately, so until I leave, allow me to make up for the past twenty years as much as I can," he said a moment later.
Thus, Tian Chenyu began spending all of his time with his parents until the fateful day of his departure.
"Have you heard? The entire city is going crazy over the demons you defeated." Tian Aowei laughed as they ate dinner that night.
"I have this incredible urge to tell everyone that it was my son who did it, but I doubt anyone would even believe me."
"Father, mother, I should've told you this earlier, but you shouldn't reveal the truth to anyone. It could bring you trouble. The demons will also start looking for the one who's responsible sooner or later." Tian Chenyu warned them with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, we won't say anything. We're not that dumb."
A week later, Tian Chenyu finished packing for his journey and said his final goodbyes to his parents before leaving the city.
"Go make our ancestors proud, Chenyu." His father said after hugging him. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"We'll miss you very much. Make sure to send us letters whenever you can." His mother said as she hugged him.
"Goodbye, father. Goodbye, mother." He bid them farewell with teary eyes.
After leaving the city, Tian Chenyu walked to this massive graveyard that was located about ten miles away.
Once he found the gravesite he was looking for, Tian Chenyu kneeled before it and placed a wreath made of white flowers onto the tombstone.
"I know I am a little late, but I couldn't bring myself to see you after what happened… until now. I hope you'll forgive me, Ai Rong."
Tian Chenyu proceeded to spend many hours talking to Ai Rong at her gravesite, telling her about his plans for the future and everything that he wanted but couldn't tell her before.
"Hey, Ai Rong, do you believe in reincarnation? I know this may sound silly, but I believe in it, and I believe that we will see each other again one day. p an da no v el I promise that no matter how long it takes that I will find you, and when I do, I will make you my wife— if you're willing to forgive me and still love me by then."
"And before I find you, there is something I must do. I must first cleanse this world of demons. I don't know how long it'll take or if it's even possible, but I will do my best."
"The next time we see each other, it will be in the flesh. I love you, Ai Rong. Until next time."
Once he was satisfied, Tian Chenyu stood up and took one last look at Ai Rong's tombstone before turning around and leaving the graveyard to go on his journey.
Unbeknownst to countless people, this was the beginning of an everlasting legend.
