Chapter 70 Return and Reunion

After going through numerous hardships and difficulties, Lin Yu and Su Yu finally successfully completed the complex and significant work of cleaning up and reforming the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion". At that time, the brilliant sunlight struggled to pierce through the layers of clouds, like wisps of golden silk, gently sprinkling on the faces of the two, which were full of weariness but also showed a resolute look. It was as if adding a sacred and warm radiance to this glorious moment of their victorious return, as if even the heavens were cheering for their great achievements.

Lin Yu slightly raised his head, and his deep eyes were filled with deep nostalgia for his hometown. His gaze was like a lively bird, nimbly crossing thousands of rivers and mountains, and directly falling on the place he yearned for day and night - the Qingyun Sect. It carried his ignorance and innocence in his youth, retained many beautiful memories, and there were also his relatives and friends whom he cared about deeply. It was like a peaceful and warm harbor, always shining brightly in the depths of his heart, calling for his return. With such intense yearning and eager anticipation, Lin Yu, accompanied by Su Yu, embarked on this warm journey back home.

Along the way, the mountains were towering and rolling, like loyal guards, silently protecting this land; the rivers were flowing ceaselessly, with sparkling waves, like flexible ribbons, adding a bit of agility and beauty to the world; the flowers, plants, and trees swayed gently in the breeze, exuding a fragrant smell, as if extending their warmest greetings to them. In his previous travels, all Lin Yu saw were the tension and intensity of the confrontation between good and evil, and the hurried figures of those who were running around in pursuit of powerful strength and the defense of justice. But now, on this journey home, the same scenery seemed to be endowed with a different charm. Everywhere was filled with the breath of peace and warmth, making his heart full of anticipation for the upcoming reunion.

They traveled day and night, regardless of the fatigue of the journey, and rushed towards their hometown with all their heart. Finally, the familiar outline of the Qingyun Sect, like a gradually clear ink painting, slowly came into their view. The towering mountain gate was simple and solemn, carrying the history and glory of the sect; the well-arranged pavilions and halls, with upturned eaves and brackets, exuded a unique charm under the illumination of the sun; the clouds surrounding it were like a gentle veil, adding a bit of mystery to the sect.

The moment they stepped into the Qingyun Sect, it was like a huge stone was suddenly thrown into a calm lake, instantly setting off a thousand layers of waves. The whole sect was immediately enveloped in a joyful and excited atmosphere, bustling with activity, as if a grand celebration was being held. The disciples spread the news, and the cheerful footsteps echoed on the stone road, like playing a passionate movement. Cheers and congratulations intertwined, like surging waves, one higher than the other, reaching up to the sky and lingering over the sect for a long time. The masters and elders stood by the side, with gratified smiles on their faces. Those smiles were full of praise and recognition for the two, and pride sparkled in their eyes, as if they were looking at the saplings they had carefully cultivated, which had now grown into towering trees and could shield the world from wind and rain. The fellow disciples who had once fought side by side with them were even more excited. They gathered around one after another. Some slapped Lin Yu's shoulder hard, the strength full of the joy of reunion and admiration for him; some warmly hugged Su Yu tightly, constantly saying words of welcome, and the sincere emotions were conveyed in these hugs. Everyone talked at once, asking them about their various experiences outside, full of concern and curiosity. In their bright eyes, there was a glimmer of expectation for those wonderful stories. In this warm and enthusiastic atmosphere, Lin Yu felt as if a warm current was slowly flowing through his heart, and the fatigue of the journey was like the remaining snow in spring, gradually melting away without a trace under the shining of this warm sun.

Among this bustling crowd, Lin Yu's eyes were eagerly searching, like a lively butterfly, eagerly looking for the most beloved flower in the flowers. Finally, his gaze fixed on the figure he had been longing for day and night - Su Yao. Su Yao had a graceful figure, standing tall and upright. A plain dress fluttered gently in the wind, like a fairy coming out of a painting. She stood quietly not far away, with tears shining in her beautiful eyes, just like stars falling into a clear lake, causing ripples. In those tears, there were concerns, longings, and the endless joy of finally seeing him at this moment, intertwined together, making her eyes even more profound and moving.

The moment her eyes met Lin Yu's, it was as if the whole world had pressed the pause button, and time seemed to solidify into a beautiful and eternal picture scroll. All the surrounding noise gradually faded away, turning into a blurred background sound. Only their eyes were tightly intertwined, as if telling the longings and concerns during the days of separation. Lin Yu's steps involuntarily quickened, and each step was filled with eagerness and a trace of imperceptible trembling, as if at this moment, he was walking towards the most precious treasure in the world.

Su Yao looked at Lin Yu who was approaching step by step. She could no longer hold back the surging emotions in her heart like a tide. Tears of excitement welled up in her eyes and streamed down like pearls with a broken string, sliding across her fair face, but it did not damage her beauty at all. Instead, it added a bit more charm of being delicate and touching. Lin Yu finally came in front of Su Yao. He gently and carefully stretched out his hands, as if afraid of disturbing this dreamlike moment, and then hugged Su Yao tightly in his arms. That embrace was firm and warm, like a haven from the wind and rain. It seemed that he was using all his strength to shield her from all the storms in the world with his embrace and dispel all the unease and sorrow in her heart. The two hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's heartbeats. The powerful beating sound was like a silent oath between them, telling their deep affection for each other. Their breaths intertwined. In this quiet atmosphere, it seemed that there were only the two of them in the whole world, and time seemed to stand still at this moment, frozen into the most beautiful and touching picture in the world, which people couldn't bear to break and just wanted this beauty to last forever.

After a long time, Lin Yu slowly released his embrace. His hands still gently supported Su Yao's shoulders, and his eyes were full of affection and tenderness, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance deeply in his heart. He slightly lowered his head, looking into Su Yao's eyes full of love, and began to tell her about his experiences outside in detail. From the thrilling first encounter with the evil forces at the beginning, to how he discovered the key to the evil ritual in the thick fog, and then mentioned the various dangers and tacit understandings when fighting side by side with Su Yu, as well as the twists and turns in the process of uncovering the truth, and the difficulties and obstacles when cleaning up the remnants of the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion", until finally the painstaking efforts in completing the reform work. He described every detail vividly, as if those experiences were reappearing in front of their eyes.

Su Yao listened quietly, and her expression changed constantly with Lin Yu's narration. Sometimes she clenched her fists nervously, and her slender fingers turned slightly pale due to the force, as if she was also in those dangerous scenes, facing the unknown dangers with Lin Yu; sometimes she showed a proud smile because of Lin Yu's bravery, resourcefulness, and determination. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and moving, and her eyes were full of admiration and pride for Lin Yu. And when she heard about the moments when Lin Yu was in danger, her eyes were instantly filled with distress and reluctance. The tears welled up in her eyes, as if those dangerous swords were stabbing at her heart at this moment, making her heart ache faintly. She wished she could have been by Lin Yu's side at that time, sharing those hardships with him.

In the following days, the sunlight always gently sprinkled on every corner of the Qingyun Sect, as if covering this world with a golden veil. Lin Yu and Su Yao were like a celestial couple, living a peaceful and happy life. They often went to the quiet and secluded valley together to practice. In the valley, there were birds singing and flowers blooming, and a clear spring gurgling, just like a paradise. When they practiced their cultivation techniques, the light of the techniques flickered and flowed around them, sometimes like bright stars, sometimes like gorgeous clouds, intertwining together to form a dreamlike and beautiful picture scroll, as if they were integrating with the heaven, earth, and nature, and jointly comprehending the wonder and profundity of cultivation.

In their spare time, they would travel hand in hand to the famous mountains and great rivers in the cultivation world, exploring those little-known mysterious places and experiencing the local customs of different regions. They strolled through the ancient towns, feeling the hustle and bustle of the market life. The lively market and the bustling crowd made them appreciate the rich and colorful aspects of human life; they climbed the majestic and precipitous mountains, standing on the peaks and overlooking the magnificent mountains and rivers at their feet. The vast world and the continuous mountains made them deeply feel their own insignificance and the vastness of the world; they strolled along the quiet lakeside, watching the lake water ripple in the breeze, reflecting the beautiful scenery of the sky and the shore, as if they were in an ink painting, intoxicated by the tranquility and beauty of nature. Every journey was like planting a precious seed in their hearts. With the passage of time, it gradually took root and sprouted, becoming the most precious and beautiful memories in the depths of their memories.

And Lin Yu's name was like the most dazzling star shining in the vast night sky, exuding a legendary and dazzling light in the cultivation world. His story was like a passionate hymn of heroes, passed down from mouth to mouth and echoing in every corner of the cultivation world. Whether it was the young cultivators who had just started their cultivation journey or the experienced senior masters, they were all familiar with his deeds and full of praise. He had already become a role model in the hearts of countless young cultivators, a guiding light on their path forward, inspiring them to bravely take every step on the path of pursuing justice and truth, not afraid of difficulties and obstacles. Even if there were thorns ahead, they should still carry their dreams and beliefs and move forward bravely to write their own legendary chapters.
