When Xiao Tian saw Jiang Xunnan, the expression on his face instantly became most splendid.
"Xun... Xunnan, I...!"
But before he could finish his words, Jiang Xunnan, looking somewhat pale, shook her head, then gently brushed the hair beside her ear, and spoke softly, "No need to say more, I already know everything!"
Xiao Tian looked at the girl with a face full of guilt, suddenly feeling an unprecedented panic.
It was a feeling he had never experienced, even when facing a life-and-death enemy.
And now Xue An, An Yan, Zui Meng and others were very tactfully staying away.
Only leaving the two of them in the scene.
"When... do you plan to leave?" Jiang Xunnan asked softly with her head lowered.
"Now that everything here is settled, I plan to..." Xiao Tian suddenly felt a bit hesitant to look at Jiang Xunnan, turned his head away, and gritting his teeth said, "I plan to leave right now! After all, the sooner I depart, the sooner I can find the Divine Monarchās reincarnated true form!"
"Oh!" As if anticipating this response, Jiang Xunnan hummed a low affirmation, then fell into a long silence.
Xiao Tian felt his heart becoming more and more flustered, and his limbs felt awkward from excessive tension.
Seemingly noticing his clumsy unease, Jiang Xunnan, who had been bowing her head, suddenly chuckled, then lifted her head and looked at Xiao Tian with a teasing glare.
"Look at you acting all silly!"
Somehow, upon seeing Jiang Xunnanās smile, most of Xiao Tianās tension and fear dissipated in an instant; then, scratching the back of his head, he also started to laugh foolishly.
As they laughed together, ripples of light danced in Jiang Xunnanās eyes, but soon after, she pretended to be relaxed, tilting her head back slightly and said lightly, "Once you go... will you return?"
Xiao Tian turned serious, and nodded very solemnly, "If I complete my mission, I will definitely return!"
"Thatās good to hear!" Jiang Xunnan beamed, then performed a very formal bow, "The Multiverse is perilous, I wish you take care!"
Xiao Tian fell silent for a moment, then nodded, "You too!"
Jiang Xunnan smiled with feigned ease, "Iām fine, my home is gone anyway, itās all the same wherever I am!"
After speaking, Jiang Xunnan slowly turned around, ready to leave.
The whole process was very lengthy, as if waiting for something.
Unfortunately, until Jiang Xunnan had completely turned around, no word was heard from Xiao Tian.
With her eyes filled with sadness, Jiang Xunnan chuckled at herself and then took a step to leave.
But just then, she heard the trembling voice of Xiao Tian from behind, tense from nervousness.
"Xunnan, would... would you wait for me?"
Jiang Xunnanās figure froze instantly, tears she had held back for so long broke through at this simple sentence, then she turned around and nodded emphatically.
"I will!"
Seeing the tear-covered face of Jiang Xunnan, yet answering so earnestly, Xiao Tian felt something deep within himself shatter completely.
He rushed forward, stood in front of Jiang Xunnan, and gazed down dumbfounded at the girl who only reached his chest.
Jiang Xunnanās heartbeat quickened, she bit her lip lightly, and tilted her face up to look at Xiao Tian.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, then Xiao Tian reached out to embrace Jiang Xunnan slowly and bent down to kiss her on the lips.
Jiang Xunnan was startled, and soon responded to Xiao Tian with fervent emotion.
The kiss was long, so long that Jiang Xunnan almost felt as if she would suffocate.
"Is that really fair to you?" Hu Ying couldnāt understand.
During these days in the Magic Treasures Pavilion, Hu Ying and Jiang Xunnan had become confidants who shared everything.
And due to Xue Anās deliberate arrangement that night, Jiang Xunnan was indeed carrying Xiao Tianās child.
When she first realized this, Jiang Xunnan was very happy.
For she had already pledged her life to Xiao Tian.
But later, after hearing what had happened outside, she couldnāt help falling into agony and confusion.
She loved Xiao Tian, of course, she understood what he was carrying on his shoulders at this moment.
If she really used the name of the child, it might truly bind him.
But then Xiao Tian, even if alive, would be as good as dead.
Hence, Jiang Xunnan made her decision, to keep her pregnancy a secret from Xiao Tian.
Because she neither wanted nor wished for her man, on his mission-bound path, to be laden with excessive burdens.
When hearing Hu Yingās question, Jiang Xunnan smiled, "Yingāer, you might have lived a thousand years, but your mentality is not much different from that of a child! How can there ever be fairness in matters of love?"
With that, Jiang Xunnan looked towards the direction where Xiao Tian had disappeared, whispering softly, "When you love someone, of course, youāre willing to give everything for him! If you are counting every little thing, seeking fairness in everything, then it only shows, you donāt really love him at all!"
Hu Ying was taken aback by this response, her eyes reflecting deep thought, but soon, she regained her composure and nodded seriously.
"Youāre right! Thatās exactly how I feel about Brother Xue!"
Jiang Xunnan couldnāt help but give a wry smile, then turned to look at Xue An and An Yan, who were standing in the distance, and in a whisper barely audible, she said: "Yingāer, you know my wait is incredibly long, but at least thereās hope. As for you... it must be quite difficult, I presume!"
