Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1660 Chapter 421: Yama Houtu, Primordial True Realm (Two-in-One)

"Where did he go?"

Su Muqing was dazed, the strange expressions of Su Wanqing and her sister Su Wanxue suddenly flashing through her mind, causing a sharp pang of anxiety in her heart.

Seeing that Su Muqing was finally paying attention to the youth, Su Wanqing felt a trace of irony; a pain pierced her heart like needles. He had been by her side for so long, yet he couldn't even occupy a tiny space in her sister's heart?

However... perhaps this is for the best. Since her sister never cared about him from the start, it's better that he leaves to avoid suffering here. They never really saw each other to begin with, it was just a misunderstanding.

Just like the immortal charm purple laurel he gifted her; it was plucked casually, without any deeper meaning.

But... why does it hurt so much inside?

Su Wanqing turned her head away, remaining silent and not responding to Su Muqing.

Su Wanxue noticed that Su Muqing had finally realized the youth was gone and sighed, "He left."

"Left?"

Su Muqing's body trembled slightly, a sudden and intense premonition overwhelming her. She hurriedly asked, "Where did he go? To the ancestral land?"

Su Wanxue shook her head slightly; Li Hao and the Primordial Spirit Girl had already departed, accompanied by her father, Su Zhenyuan. Although she and her sister Su Wanqing stayed behind to look after Su Muqing, they had sent their avatars to chase after them to the Light Emperor Hall. There, they waited for their father and learned from him where Li Hao was headed.

The Su Family had already been left behind.

No one knows where he went; it was the Ancestor who personally sent him off.

Both Su Wanxue and Su Wanqing had witnessed Li Hao reuniting with the Primordial Spirit Girl, and they understood that the purpose of his visit to the Su Family had been achieved. Thus, there was no reason for him to stay any longer.

After all, with the youth's talent, he was destined for greater places. Although the Su Family is a top power in the Northern Domain, it could not hold him back.

"Not the ancestral land? Then where?"

Su Muqing was momentarily stunned, feeling a sudden emptiness, as if something precious had been lost.

"I don't know."

Su Wanxue shook her head and sighed, "Father doesn't even know his destination; it was the Ancestor who personally sent him away."

"Sent away? Why?"

Su Muqing was puzzled and asked, "Did he make a mistake in the ancestral land, provoke the Ancestor, and get punished by him? But he just rewarded us by slaying demons and saving the Northern Domain..."

"Of course not!"

The usually silent Su Wanqing couldn't help but interrupt, looking at her sister with a gaze she didn't recognize:

"Why would you think he made a mistake or provoked the Ancestor? You don't even understand how much the Ancestor favors him! Besides him, not even us, not even you, have ever been summoned or welcomed by the Ancestor. He has gone to the ancestral land four or five times!"

"Moreover, according to the Fourth Grandfather, the Ancestor is extremely fond of him, granting him access without needing a report. This is a privilege not even our direct bloodline possesses, as our father has to notify the mountain guard before entering!"

Her voice grew more passionate, her eyes turning slightly red with emotion.

Seeing her expression, Su Muqing was stunned, suddenly enlightened.

Indeed, she herself wasn't qualified to see the Ancestor or receive his summons.

Yet, the young man was summoned by the Ancestor immediately after ending his demon-slaying campaign.

In the following years, he frequented the ancestral land several times; once for three years, as Nanny Wu mentioned, possibly cultivating in the ancestral land under the Ancestor's guidance...

But why else would the Ancestor send him away unless he had offended him?

Su Muqing felt her heart grow heavier, as if some pressing matter was about to emerge.

She looked at her agitated sister, suddenly detecting something amiss, "Wanqing, do you like... him?"

Upon this revelation, Su Wanxue sighed beside her—a fact apparent to anyone, yet noticed by Su Muqing alone.

If this had been yesterday, Su Wanqing would have blushed and avoided Su Muqing's gaze. But at this moment, she replied firmly, "That's right, I am enamored with him!"

She spoke forcefully, her eyes fixed on Su Muqing, "You said before that you would never fancy him, that you ignored him, focusing solely on your Lin Zhexuan. So why can't I admire him?"

Su Muqing stared at her, bewildered, as if she didn't recognize her sister.

"But he only has eyes for you, only you!"

Su Wanqing clenched her fists, biting her lip, but soon her gaze turned sorrowful, laughing self-mockingly, "But that's not entirely true; he has never had eyes for you, never had you. Only her, only that person..."

Witnessing Li Hao's embrace with Shi Miao and their mutual gaze, Su Wanqing understood—that was an untouchable and uninterruptible bond.

Su Muqing's expression shifted slightly, angrily shouting, "What nonsense are you uttering? I didn't blame you for fancying him; why must you explain this? Why did the Ancestor send him away? Was it voluntary?"

"The reason, even we don't know."

Su Wanxue pulled Su Wanqing back, stopping her, and shook her head sorrowfully, "However, one thing is certain: it was voluntary. Otherwise, why would the Ancestor, who cherishes him, hesitate to keep him in the Su Family?"

"Impossible!"

Su Muqing resolutely declared, "He couldn't possibly leave voluntarily; he was here waiting every day, he..."

Mentioning him again, her tone suddenly weakened.

The youth voluntarily waited here every day, yet... the daily conclusion involved facing closed hall doors and her own indifference.
