After listening to Haitang recount her story with Zhu Wushi, Wuhen Gongzi's face was filled with anger.

He had realized from the beginning that Zhu Wushi was not a good person, so he wanted to persuade Haitang to leave Zhu Wushi and wander the world with him.

However, Haitang regarded Zhu Wushi as her father and was unwilling to leave.

Therefore, the Master Without Trace chose to let Haitang leave the sect ahead of schedule.

He didn't want his carefully cultivated disciple to end up as a tool in Zhu Wushi's hands.

Unexpectedly, this is still the final result.

And they came so quickly.

"Master, I didn't understand what you meant back then, but now I do. You saw all along that Shenhou wasn't a good person, which is why you told me to stay away, right?"

Haitang asked softly.

Wuhen Gongzi glanced at Haitang, then nodded helplessly.

"Not bad. At first I really thought Zhu Wushi was a good person, but later I felt more and more that something was wrong."

Unfortunately, by then I had already taken you as my disciple, taught you a lot of skills, and developed a master-disciple relationship with you, so it was not appropriate to expel you directly from the sect.

So, in the end, all I can say is that you have completed your studies and can leave the sect.

After that, I left this place for a while in order to forget my relationship with you as your master and disciple.

Because I know that you will eventually face tragedy.

And I am powerless to change any of this.

After all, Zhu Wushi's strength is above mine.

Most importantly, I cannot change your adoration for him.

I never imagined that, years later, you would have escaped here.

Looks like it's all thanks to this young man, isn't it?

Wuhen Gongzi looked at Gu Qianbei beside him and said with a smile.

How could he possibly see the relationship between Gu Qianbei and Haitang?

They are clearly a couple in love.

Even lovers who have already had physical intimacy.

Otherwise they wouldn't be so close.

"I was able to survive this time thanks to Chibei."

Master, it's so wonderful to see you again.

I misunderstood you back then, I hope you can forgive me.

Haitang said sincerely.

Wuhen Gongzi waved his hand and said, "These are all old, trivial matters. Why bring them up?"

It is wonderful that you have returned safely.

This is a good opportunity for me to pass on everything I haven't taught you before.

Only then can you be considered my true successor.

Otherwise, with the rudimentary skills you've learned so far, you'd be helpless against even a casual master in the martial arts world.

Wuhen Gongzi smiled and shook his head.

"Master, would you be willing to teach me martial arts again?"

Haitang was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Of course. You are my only disciple."

Now that you have mastered the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, I will now pass on the Traceless Divine Skill to you.

In this way, you will have mastered both of the great divine skills created by my master, Xiaoyaozi. Your future achievements will likely surpass mine.

The Unmarked Young Master had a very high opinion of Begonia.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have taken Haitang as his apprentice in the first place.

Now that his good apprentice has realized her mistake and returned to the right path, he will naturally not hesitate to pass on his mantle to her.

After all, at his age, finding a good apprentice is no longer an easy task.

"Thank you, Master!"

Haitang was immediately moved and knelt down before Wuhen Gongzi, kowtowing deeply.

In her past life, there were only two people she respected.

One is the Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi, and the other is the Traceless Young Master.

One was her godfather, and the other was her master.

Now that her godfather is gone, her only remaining elder is her master.

Now that her master is willing to take her back as a disciple, how could she not be overjoyed?

"Get up. You're so old, why are you still doing this?"

It's strangely sad.

Wuhen Gongzi immediately channeled his inner energy and helped Haitang up.

However, the smile in the corner of his eye never faded.

Congratulations, Begonia.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qianbei stepped forward and offered his congratulations.

He could tell that Haitang was genuinely happy at that moment.

Today is the happiest day for her since breaking ties with Zhu Wushi.

To some extent, Wuhen Gongzi has completely replaced Zhu Wushi in Haitang's heart.

At least this master hasn't fallen from grace yet; he's still her beloved master.

In the days that followed, Gu Qianbei and Haitang moved into the valley.

Under the guidance of the Unmarked Gentleman, Haitang made rapid progress.

The variety of martial arts techniques that Haitang had never learned before dazzled her, and she felt that even if she spent ten years, she might not be able to learn them all.

But she still happily devoted herself to her studies and practice.

Because it made her feel incredibly fulfilled and happy.

During this time, Gu Qianbei and Wuhen Gongzi had a very pleasant conversation.

In particular, Gu Qianbei's wine broadened Wuhen Gongzi's horizons, and he even became enamored with it.

For a time, even the nameless young master wanted to become sworn brothers with Gu Qianbei.

"Tsk tsk, I never expected that young friend Gu's title as the world's number one winemaker is so well-deserved."

I truly regret not having tasted Gu Xiaoyou's fine wine sooner.

The Unmarked Young Master sighed repeatedly, then drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

"It's not too late to drink it now. There will be plenty of time and opportunities later."

"Haha, not bad! Haitang is so lucky to have met such a talented young man like you, hahaha."

I agree to your relationship.

The more Wuhen Gongzi looked at Gu Qianbei, the more pleasing he became, and he completely approved of this disciple and husband.

Another half month passed, and seeing that Haitang was unlikely to leave anytime soon, Gu Qianbei decided to leave for a while.

"Haitang, I have something I need to take care of in Daliang. You can stay here and cultivate for now."

I'll come back to you after I've finished what I did.

Upon hearing this, Haitang felt extremely reluctant to part with it.

At the time, she knew she couldn't delay Gu Qianbei's important matter, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, then you'd better come back soon."

"Okay. I'll definitely come back after I finish my business."

That night, Haitang couldn't sleep, so Gu Qianbei didn't sleep well either.

The two tossed and turned for most of the night before finally falling asleep.

Haitang's madness surprised Gu Qianbei, and it unlocked a lot of new knowledge for him.

Early the next morning.

Gu Qianbei then left the valley alone.

Before leaving, he left a lot of good wine for Wuhen Gongzi and Haitang.

Haitang stood at the entrance of the valley, watching Gu Qianbei's departing figure, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"This kid is like the wind. Although he's a good person and skilled in martial arts, I'm afraid he won't stay for just you."

Have you thought it through?

Young Master Wuhen became unusually serious and asked in a soft voice.

Haitang smiled upon hearing this and said, "Master, I already know what kind of person he is."

Actually, at the beginning, I didn't plan to stay with him forever.

Because I know my destiny is to serve the court to the death.

So, I originally wanted to have a romantic relationship that I enjoyed.

But now, things have changed.

I now have the means to stay together forever.

However, I still don't intend to force my senior to stay for me.

Just like you said, Master, he is like the wind. If you trap the wind, the wind will die.

So, as long as the wind can linger on my hand for a short while, that's enough.
