<h4>Chapter 460: There They Are</h4>


    Ye Guan frowned at Cirou''s remark. "Pretend like nothing happened?"


    Cirou nodded.


    "Do you really think that''s okay?"


    "So what are we going to do, then?"


    Ye Guan stared into Cirou''s eyes, and Cirou didn''t back down.


    Ye Guan said in a deep voice, "Are you saying that I let you sleep with me in vain?"


    Cirou''s eyes twitched, and she red coldly at Ye Guan. "What? Do you want me to pay you for the night?"


    Ye Guan smiled and wrapped his arms around Cirou''s waist. "This is an unexpected development, but it is what it is. I''m not going to make any excuses. Let''s just try to get along with each other, okay?"


    Cirou lowered her head slightly, but she didn''t respond to Ye Guan''s coaxing.


    Ye Guan suddenly kissed Cirou''s soft lips.


    Cirou trembled ever so slightly, but she didn''t say anything about it.


    After a while, Cirou noticed something unusual and cried out, "It hurts..."


    "I''m not going to do anything inappropriate," Ye Guan said.


    Cirou cast aplex gaze upon Ye Guan before eventually burying her head into Ye Guan''s chest. She truly had no idea what was going on with herself.


    Ye Guan sighed as well. <i>I thought my will was pretty strong, so how did things end up like this? Is it really because of my Mad Demon Bloodline?</i>


    Mad Demon Bloodline: "..."


    The next day at high noon, the four gathered around a dining table. They were eating, but the air around them was a bit strange.


    Cizhen looked guilty while stealing nces at Cirou and Cishu. However, Cizhen didn''t say anything as she ate her bowl of noodles. Meanwhile, Cishu seemed to be pondering over something while staring at Ye Guan and Cirou.


    Ye Guan''s expression was strangeno, awkward. However, Ye Guan knew that he had to man up and be honest in a situation like this, so he eventually made a decision<i>Let''s shift the me to someone else!</i>


    "Last night," Ye Guan muttered, "Big Sister got me drunk, so we"


    "I know!" Cizhen interjected with a grin. "It''s the alcohol''s fault!"


    Ye Guan was speechless.


    Cirou then turned to Ye Guan. "You should go and do what you have to do first."


    Ye Guan looked at Cirou.


    Cirou calmly exined, "Today is yourst day on Blue. I''m sure you have many things to settle before leaving, right?"


    Ye Guan nodded.


    "The Eternal Sovereign will soon arrive, and aside from him, you''ll have to handle many other things one after another. In other words, you should put aside your love affairs for the meantime."


    Ye Guan nodded. "Okay."


    "Go ahead," Cirou said.


    Ye Guan stood up and got ready to leave.


    "Wait," Cirou suddenly said.


    Ye Guan turned to look at Cirou, who walked up to him and said, "If I''m not mistaken, your father and aunt are also leaving today."


    Ye Guan nodded. "Probably."


    Cirou wanted to say something, but she hesitated. In the end, she shook her head and said, "Go, then."


    Ye Guan grabbed her hand just then and said, "Do you want me to ask for their help?"


    Cirou lowered her head slightly without saying anything.


    Ye Guan smiled wryly. "Unfortunately, there are some paths I must walk on by myself."


    Cirou''s expression wasplicated as she pointed out. "It''s going to be really exhausting for you, and perhaps you''ll struggle more than your father during his generation."


    Ye Guan nodded. "I know, and I''m mentally prepared."


    Cirou stared intently at Ye Guan for a long time before nodding. "All right."


    "I''m leaving, then," Ye Guan said with a smile before turning around to leave.


    Cirou remained silent for a long time, even though Ye Guan had already left the apartment. Eventually, she turned around and returned to her seat, looking at Cizhen without saying a word.


    Cizhen blinked, looking puzzled. "Little Cirou, why are you looking at me like that?"


    Cirou asked, "Was it you?"


    "What do you mean?" Cizhen frowned and eximed, "There''s no way I''d do such a thing!"


    Cirou gazed deeply at Cizhen without saying anything.


    Cizhen felt a bit uneasy beneath Cirou''s indifferent gaze and blurted out, "I think you drank a bit too muchst night."


    "Yes, we drank too muchst night, so howe I still managed to undress? Little Shu and I had inexplicably undressed, but howe you weren''t naked?"


    Cizhen fanned her hand in front of her face. "Okay, I undressed you two, but I didn''t force you to do that <i>thing</i>. You two were the ones who did it!"


    Cirou stared quietly at Cizhen. Cirou had decided not to me Ye Guan, as she believed that Ye Guan absolutely had no intentions of doing <i>that</i> with her. Ye Guan was a petty man, but he wouldn''t go that far to avenge himself, too.


    Little Shu wasn''t shameless enough to do such a thing, so Cizhen had to be the culprit!


    Cizhen suddenly asked, "Are you going to get pregnant?"


    "You!" Cirou rushed at and pounced on her Cizhen.


    The two young women wrestled each other on the floor.


    Cishu smiled and shook her head. Was she jealous? Of course, she was a bit jealous, but it had already faded away upon recalling that certain promise.


    Looking back at that promise, Cishu sighed inwardly. <i>Why did we even promise to marry the same husband? Now, it seems like we really are going to have the same husband!</i>


    Ye Guan made a beeline for Su Zi''s hotel upon leaving Yunhai County.


    Su ZI often workedte into the night, so her sleeping schedule was messed up. Su Zi was still sound asleep when Ye Guan entered the room.


    Ye Guan decided to sit on the bed and stared at the peacefully sleeping Su Zi.


    He then bent down and kissed her gently on the forehead. "I''m leaving."


    Su Zi was quiet.


    Ye Guan got up and left. Tears instantly slid down Su Zi''s cheeks the moment Ye Guan shut the door behind him. She didn''t dare to open her eyes, as she was afraid that she wouldn''t be able to resist following Ye Guan if she had opened her eyes.


    ...


    Ye Guan''s next destination was the Sword Dao Department of the Milky Way Academy.


    Shuang Shuang and Mu Yun had returned from their trip, so Mu Wanyu finally had ssmates to share enlightenment with. Shockingly, Mu Wanyu hadprehended Sword Intent, even though it hadn''t been that long since she started cultivating.


    Ye Guan swept his gaze at the three and smiled. "I''vee to say goodbye."


    Shuang Shuang and Mu Yun were stunned.


    Mu Wanyu looked gloomy, but she didn''t say anything as she looked down at the floor.


    "I''m leaving," said Ye Guan.


    Mu Yun asked, "Where are you going, Teacher?"


    Ye Guan smiled. "Back home."


    <i>Going back home </i>Mu Wanyu nced at Ye Guan and clenched her fists. However, she didn''t say anything.


    Shuang Shuang suddenly asked, "Will we ever meet again?"


    Ye Guan replied, "Pass the entrance exam for the Milky Way n, and we''ll have a chance to meet."


    Shuang Shuang revealed a determined look. "We''ll definitely enter the Milky Way n, Teacher!"


    "Great!" Ye Guanughed heartily. Then, he turned to Mu Wanyu and grabbed her hand. "I want you to stay with Su Zi once I''ve left. Can you do that for me?"


    "I can..." Mu Wanyu muttered, nodding.


    Shuang Shuang and Mu Yun retreated tactfully. Once the two were no longer in sight, Ye Guan stared at the quiet Mu Wanyu and said, "Is there anything you want to say to me?"


    Mu Wanyu''s eyes turned red. "Will you reallye back here?"


    Ye Guan nodded. "I will."


    "I''ll wait for you, then."


    Ye Guan looked down at the ring on her finger and said, "I can open that for you..."


    Mu Wanyu shook her head. "I want to see what you left for me, but I want to open it by myself."


    "All right, I understand," Ye Guan said with a nod.


    Mu Wanyu stepped forward just then and kissed Ye Guan. The two kissed each other for a while until Mu Wanyu leaned closer to Ye Guan''s ear and whispered, "On your next visit, Su Zi and I will"


    Mu Wanyu''s voice became softer and softer as she spoke until her voice sounded like a mosquito''s droning. Mu Wanyu''s voice became redder than a tomato by the time she was done speaking.


    Ye Guan''s heart pounded madly against his chest. "That''s..."


    Mu Wanyu mustered some courage and looked up at Ye Guan despite her red face.


    "That''s why you have toe back, okay?"


    Ye Guan nodded with a grin.


    Ye Guan walked for a long time after leaving the Sword Dao Department grounds. He sensed something just then and turned around to find Mu Wanyu standing quietly at the entrance of the department grounds, staring at Ye Guan without saying anything.


    Ye Guan turned around after he had carved Mu Wanyu''s figure in his mind.


    Ye Guan looked up at the sky and grew reluctant.


    "An You," Ye Guan called out, and a shadowy figure manifested behind him.


    "Have someone protect them without them knowing," Ye Guan ordered.


    An You nodded. "Understood."


    Ye Guan nodded as well and walked until he arrived at Ao Qianqian''s ssroom.


    Ao Qianqian was in the middle of a ss. The faces of the students in the ssroom instantly darkened upon seeing Ye Guan. It couldn''t be helped. Ye Guan''s arrival meant that Ao Qianqian would instantly dismiss the ss.


    However, Ao Qianqian didn''t dismiss the ss. She merely nced at Ye Guan before continuing the ss. The students were surprised. Howe Teacher Ao''s reaction was different this time?


    Ye Guan stood quietly by the ssroom door. He examined Ao Qianqian and saw that she was wearing a light-red dress; her get-up was simple, but it made it obvious to just about anyone that Ao Qianqian was happy today.


    The two tiny dragon horns sticking out of her head also made her look exceptionally cute, and they also instilled a certain desire in peoplethe desire to y with her horns.


    Ao Qianqian turned to look at Ye Guan upon sensing thetter''s gaze. Ao Qianqian''s eyes were full of affection as she stared at Ye Guan, and the sight elicited a smile from thetter.


    The bell rang thirty minutester, and Ao Qianqian promptly closed the ancient-looking book in her hands. Ao Qianqian swept her gaze across the students before her and said, "Everyone, today''s ss is my final ss. If fate allows it, we will meet again."


    Ao Qianqian put down the book in her hands and walked up to Ye Guan.


    Her gait showed nary a trace of hesitation!


    Meanwhile, the students were dumbfounded by Ao Qianqian''s deration. Final ss?


    Ao Qianqian pulled Ye Guan''s hand and smiled. "Let''s go!"


    "All right," Ye Guan replied with a grin and allowed Ao Qianqian to pull him away.


    The students inside the ssroom exchanged nces, and they could see theplicated emotions in each other''s eyes. Eventually, they snapped back to reality and fell into deep contemtion.


    Ao Qianqian was undoubtedly the most popr professor at the Milky Way Academy, and she was their favorite teacher, too. Teacher Ao had never been the type to joke around, so there was a high chance that they would never see her again.


    Ye Guan and Ao Qianqian walked hand in hand into the distance. Ao Qianqian looked around; her eyes gleamed withplex emotions as she said, "So we really are leaving today, huh? For some reason, I really can''t bear to leave this ce!"


    "Stay here, then," Ye Guan replied.


    Ao Qianqian shook her head and held Ye Guan''s hand. "My desire to stay with you exceeds my feelings for this ce!"


    Ye Guan chuckled and looked around as well.


    "Since you like it here, we''lle back here often."


    "Sounds great," Ao Qianqian replied, beaming with a smile.


    "All right, let''s go meet my old man!" Ye Guan eximed.


    Ao Qianqian blushed instantly at Ye Guan''s deration, and she nced at Ye Guan before muttering, "Okay..."


    Ye Guan smiled at Ao Qianqian dressed in red.


    Ao Qianqian red at Ye Guan and gave him a yful punch.


    Ye Guanughed heartily before closing his eyes slowly; his divine sense instantly enveloped the entire Blue. Momentster, he opened his eyes and muttered, "There they are"
