Liu Chengfeng stood in a bamboo grove, the surroundings quiet and still, with only the gentle rustling of bamboo leaves in the breeze. He looked around, a chill running through him; this was the place where he had practiced swordsmanship with his good brother, Xiao Yunsheng, since childhood. Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a familiar laugh. Turning around, he saw Xiao Yunsheng in black clothing standing deep within the bamboo forest, his smile as warm as ever.
"Chengfeng, long time no see," Xiao Yunsheng said with a hint of teasing in his voice.
Liu Chengfeng was momentarily stunned, then stepped forward excitedly and exclaimed, "Yunsheng! Is it really you?"
Xiao Yunsheng chuckled and walked over to pat Liu Chengfeng on the shoulder. "Yeah, old friend, what’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me?"
A wave of emotions surged within Liu Chengfeng as he looked at his dear brother, feeling as if they were back to their days of practicing swords and playing around together. The two walked side by side through the bamboo grove, reminiscing about some amusing stories from their childhood.
"Chengfeng, do you remember that time we snuck out to catch fish?" Xiao Yunsheng laughed.
Liu Chengfeng joined in the laughter. "Of course I remember! You almost got caught by the Liu Family steward that time. We managed to trap him in the bamboo grove and escaped."
They exchanged smiles, recalling various fun moments from the past, warmth filling their hearts. However, their laughter gradually turned heavier. Xiao Yunsheng's expression also grew serious.
"Chengfeng, do you ever regret what happened three years ago?" Xiao Yunsheng asked softly.
Liu Chengfeng's smile slowly faded as he sighed. "Regret? Of course I regret it. I regret not being able to stop you from joining that organization and even more so for not being able to bring you back."
Xiao Yunsheng patted Liu Chengfeng's shoulder gently and said, "It's not your fault; it was my own choice. Rebelling against the court is ultimately a matter of life and death. However, I didn't expect you to align yourself with Li Ye and Zhiruo."
Liu Chengfeng fell silent for a moment before slowly replying, "Actually, I followed Li Ye to take revenge for you. The Celestial Guard killed you; I must make them pay in blood."
Xiao Yunsheng smiled softly, his gaze becoming gentler. "I know you have something weighing on your heart. But don’t be too obsessed with hatred. I heard you met Zhiruo; that girl is quite something."
Liu Chengfeng's face flushed slightly as he lowered his head. "I... I just feel a bit drawn to her, but she is Li Ye's wife; I understand that."
Xiao Yunsheng laughed heartily. "Feeling drawn is one thing, but you can't touch a married woman, Chengfeng. It seems you're not completely foolish yet."
Liu Chengfeng forced a bitter smile. "Please stop teasing me. Following Li Ye is not just for revenge; I also hope to find my own path."
Xiao Yunsheng nodded, his tone serious: "I know you will find your own path. Chengfeng, do not let hatred blind your eyes. You must live well for yourself and for those who care about you."
Liu Chengfeng looked at Xiao Yunsheng, his eyes filled with gratitude and sadness: "Yunsheng, I understand. Thank you."
Xiao Yunsheng smiled lightly and patted Liu Chengfeng's shoulder. Gradually, his figure began to blur: "Chengfeng, goodbye. Remember to live splendidly."
Liu Chengfeng watched as Xiao Yunsheng's figure gradually disappeared, a sense of desolation filling his heart. He knew that this meeting was a manifestation of the past, but he also understood that Yunsheng's words were real.
The bamboo forest began to crumble, and Liu Chengfeng knelt on the ground, tears in his eyes, silently murmuring: "Yunsheng, I will live well for you and for myself."
On the other side, Su Yue's journey into the past also began.
Su Yue found herself in a vast bamboo sea, bamboo leaves falling like emerald raindrops in the wind. She looked around, her heart racing at the sight before her. This was the place where she had lived with her master, where she had practiced her dual blades countless times and received her master's teachings and care. However, her master had passed away many years ago, and this place had long since fallen into disrepair.
A light laugh echoed through the air. Su Yue turned around to see a familiar figure standing among the bamboo—her master, Su Mu Bai. He still wore that simple gray robe, his expression calm, with a hint of fondness in his eyes.
"Master?" Su Yue's voice trembled as tears filled her eyes.
Su Mu Bai smiled and nodded slowly as he walked towards Su Yue: "Yue'er, it's been a long time."
Unable to contain her excitement, Su Yue rushed forward and embraced Su Mu Bai tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Master, I miss you so much."
Su Mu Bai patted Su Yue's back gently and said softly: "Yue'er, don't cry. Your master has always been in your heart."
After holding each other for a moment, Su Yue managed to calm her emotions and looked up at Su Mu Bai with longing and confusion in her eyes: "Master, how are you here?"
Su Mu Bai smiled slightly: "This is your journey into the past and our reunion place. You have too many unresolved feelings in your heart; today is a good opportunity to untangle them."
Su Yue nodded, recalling all the teachings from her master during his lifetime. Her heart felt both warm and bittersweet. She had followed her master for many years; he not only taught her martial arts but also cared for her like a father. She had always regarded him as the most important person in her life until he tragically lost his life during a mission, leaving her alone.
Su Mu Bai looked at Su Yue with a hint of pain in his eyes: "Yue'er, how have you been these past few years?"
Su Yue gently wiped away her tears and forced a smile, "Master, I have always followed your teachings, practicing with the twin blades and continuously improving my skills. It's just that sometimes I feel lonely."
Su Mu Bai nodded and said softly, "Yue'er, you must remember that I am always in your heart, watching you grow. You are no longer that little girl who relied on me; you have become a renowned heroine in the martial world."
Su Yue nodded with emotion, but there was still a question in her heart, "Master, I have never understood your choice back then. Why did you choose to undertake that dangerous mission?"
Su Mu Bai sighed lightly, his gaze gentle, "Yue'er, there are many things in the martial world that must be done. My choice at that time was to protect more people. Although it ultimately cost me my life, I have no regrets."
Su Yue clenched her fists, determination flashing in her eyes, "Master, I will inherit your legacy and continue to guard the peace of the martial world."
Su Mu Bai smiled and nodded, "Good child, I believe you can do it."
The two exchanged smiles, and the bamboo forest was filled with warmth. Suddenly, the bamboo forest began to blur gradually, and Su Mu Bai's figure became fainter. Su Yue's heart tightened as she realized this was a sign that the illusion was about to end.
Su Mu Bai said softly, "Yue'er, do not be afraid. Remember, I will always be in your heart. No matter what difficulties you encounter, face them with strength."
Su Yue's tears flowed freely as she knelt on the ground and deeply bowed her head, "Master, thank you. Goodbye."
Su Mu Bai looked at her tenderly as his figure gradually faded in the bamboo forest. Su Yue raised her head, her eyes filled with determined light. After the illusion shattered, she found herself standing once again in Netherworld Paradise, no longer feeling lost.
Su Yue tightened her grip on the twin blades and silently vowed, "Master, I will inherit your legacy and carve out my own path." She knew that her master's teachings and love would always accompany her, becoming her driving force forward.
