Chapter 1388: Set Off_3

Xiaosuisui sighed softly.

“Then let’s go! I will return to check on Grandmother’s condition, accompany her for a few days, and then we will depart!”

“Are we really… really leaving?”

Princess Lianchun was initially just skeptical, without any special emotions.

But now that there was a definite time, she felt very reluctant!

“Aunt, if you can’t bear to leave, you don’t have to go with Suisui. If you choose to stay, you will surely have a stable life and enjoy prosperity!”

“I, this Princess, do not care for such riches and glory!”

Princess Lianchun took the lead and walked ahead.

Without looking back, she cared nothing for anything in this Imperial Palace!

“Then, Aunt, are you not going to say goodbye to the Emperor and my foster father?”

“When the time comes, he will naturally know where I’ve gone!”

“What about you? Aren’t you going to tell your foster father the truth?”

“He will know soon enough.”

“Why then are you going to tell the Empress Dowager?”

“Because she is the most fragile!”

The Empress Dowager truly treats her as her own granddaughter, and she was the most outwardly strong, yet inwardly fragile among all the elders she knew!

“Actually, I greatly envy her!”

Princess Lianchun said.

Xiaosuisui did not reply, merely walking straight ahead.

On the Palace wall, Xie Pan’Er’s tears were streaming down, and despite wearing a fox fur, she felt cold.

The Emperor held her tightly in his embrace, softly comforting her, “She will come back.”

“We both know this is just our fantasy!”

“Perhaps it’s just our overthinking. Maybe she’s truly just going out for leisure and will return after some time.”

Xie Pan’Er closed her eyes. More than anyone, she hoped this was true.

But her intuition told her that Suisui was genuinely bidding them farewell.

Xiaosuisui returned to the Ji Family as dawn began to break. She went directly to the old Madam Ji’s courtyard. Ji Shang was by the old Madam’s bed, supporting his forehead with his hand. Upon hearing movement in the courtyard, his eyes immediately opened.

Turning his head, he saw it was Suisui who had entered, and couldn’t help but show a surprised expression on his face.

“You have finally returned.”

Xiaosuisui nodded and immediately asked, “How is Grandmother? Is she still holding on?”

“Your second uncle said she should have about three months!”

Xiaosuisui nodded, personally checked the old Madam’s pulse, and then said, “We can wait no longer. I will now go to dismantle the remaining Arrays of Heaven. Grandfather, before I leave, I will have Ah Dai light the Seven-Star Soul-Luring Lamp for Grandmother. Be sure to guard the Seven-Star Soul-Luring Lamp well. Once I dismantle the Arrays of Heaven, the Judge from the Underworld will come to lead your and Grandmother’s souls away to another Realm to undergo trials. At that time, all of Grandmother’s memories will be erased, and you…”

“What about me?”

Seeing her pause as she spoke, Ji Shang felt uneasy and quickly asked.

“Your memories will not be erased, but you are the Guardian. If Grandmother cannot overcome this tribulation, she will not return, and neither will you! But she will have ten chances to be reborn. Each of these ten lifetimes, you will be able to follow her and reunite with her. If she overcomes this tribulation in one of these lives, you will be able to return to your original bodies. But should she, even in her tenth life, still not overcome the barrier of love and chooses to return to cultivation, both your souls will dissipate.”

As soon as Xiaosuisui finished speaking, there was a “clattering” sound outside.

Ji Shang turned his head to look and saw it was the second daughter-in-law, Huo Xing’Er. These past few days, it was she who watched over the old Madam at night.

Just earlier, she was in the kitchen bringing a bowl of nourishing soup for Ji Shang.

She hadn’t expected to return just in time to hear Xiaosuisui’s words.

“Second Aunt! You heard it all!”

“You… you really must dismantle the Arrays of Heaven?”

Xiaosuisui nodded firmly.

“I must!”

“Then will you come back?”

Upon hearing Huo Xing’Er ask this, Xiaosuisui fell into silence.

Ji Shang also said, “Can you assure your own safety?”

Xiaosuisui then smiled and said, “Grandfather, did you perhaps forget that Suisui has already dismantled an Array of Heaven before? And all the things needed for dismantling the Arrays of Heaven, you personally helped Suisui prepare them. Please don’t have such little faith in Suisui, okay?”

Hearing this, Ji Shang thought about it and agreed, so he said, “But why does it still feel so uncertain in my heart?”

“Oh Grandfather, Suisui said it will be fine, so it’ll definitely be fine. It’s just that dismantling the Arrays of Heaven is no small matter. At that time, the world will undergo many changes, and Suisui might no longer be in this Realm.”
