They left the cave mansion, wandered around Carefree City nearby, experiencing the local customs and splendid scenery of the Qianxue State
Boundary.
Amidst overwhelming prosperity, with flowing gold and jade pouring forth, it was truly a feast for the eyes.
The Zhang family young members were amazed in their hearts.
Only Zhang Lan's mind was elsewhere, burdened with heavy thoughts.
As they wandered around, a disciple suddenly sighed:
"Qianxue State Boundary is so wonderful, but alas, I can't come here to study,
my parents won't allow it."
"Indeed, this time the Chief Elder was kind enough to bring us here for the ceremony. After going back, who knows when the next visit will be."
"Qian State is too far, perhaps never to come again..."
"What a pity..."
Hearing this, Zhang Lan couldn't help but stir in his heart, thinking: "Should I
find an opportunity... to see Mo Hua?"
This visit to the Qianxue State Boundary was a coincidence.
After watching the sword discussion, they would go back to Kan State, by then
truly thousands of miles apart, making meeting again impossible.
In the future, separated by the ends of the earth, who knows where Mo Hua
will go or if they'll meet again.
But...
Zhang Lan hesitated again.
The Water Passing Step of Mo Hua was taught by him, logically at this time, he should "avoid suspicion", or if the Chief Elder found out, he'd be in big trouble. Besides, Mo Hua was now busy with the sword discussion and shouldn't be
disturbed.
Moreover, Mo Hua now is not the same as before, already a shining prodigy, may not remember who he is...
He also didn't know where to find Mo Hua...
Zhang Lan was filled with concerns, hesitating and undecided.
But amidst his hesitation, he recalled the Chief Elder's frequent musings.
In the long years of Tao cultivation, it's easy to part, hard to meet.
A person's life is full of uncertain fates and encounters; many have already unknowingly seen each other for the last time in their lives.
And perhaps this moment is the only chance in his life to see Mo Hua again.
