Aren’t you lonely?

When Jiang Hao asked that, he felt exceedingly calm.

He wanted to ask because he himself had never walked that path.

Everything was within his expectations.

The path was not easy to walk. Even if loneliness was the norm, he had never experienced this path, so he did not know how it felt.

Thus, he could not answer when Hong Yuye asked him that.

He also wanted to ask something like that of someone who had experienced it.

The person before him had experienced it all.

Whether or not the person would answer, he was prepared.

He had even braced himself for being overwhelmed by her powerful aura.

However, the other party did not speak for a long time. She left him puzzled.

What did her silence mean?

“Lonely?” After a while, Hong Yuye slowly spoke. She looked calm and indifferent. “I just like peace and quiet. I don’t revel in loneliness.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Hong Yuye stepped forward.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and followed.

He got his answer.

‘Loneliness…’

Even for the strong, if they walk far enough, loneliness was inevitable.

But within that loneliness, each person’s actions and thoughts must be different.

Perhaps the strong do many things to wash away the sense of loneliness, but how could they live the same life again?

When a person made friends for the first time, they were often sincere.

But if those friends disappeared along the road, it became difficult to make friends again.

It would feel like there was no reason to be friendly to someone because they disappeared eventually.

He used to care about people and what they said about him when he was young, but he no longer cared because he knew they might disappear along the way.

There was no point in caring about them.

For a moment, Jiang Hao felt that he had always been a little lonely.

Ever since he entered the Heavenly Note Sect, he had been hand-in-hand with loneliness.

He had never tried to make friends and had tried not to get involved in other people’s affairs too much.

He never had a deep sense of loneliness, maybe because his fate took a turn at nineteen.

The calm was completely broken, and he could never go back. Thus, loneliness seemed like a small thing.

He thought that his mental state was strong enough to battle loneliness.

Looking back, he realized that loneliness had long been filled with other things.

Jiang Hao did not say anything else, and Hong Yuye remained silent.

The two of them walked side by side all the way to the Jade Cloud Pavilion.

They were not in a hurry.

For Jiang Hao, there was no need to rush along the way.

He looked at his surroundings quietly and arrived at his destination slowly.

After the battle with the Five Demons ended, they needed a cooling period.

He calmed himself down.

In addition, he had to recover his aura.

“What can you see on the sea?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

“The seawater, I suppose,” Jiang Hao said.

Splas.h.!.+

Suddenly, a big fish jumped out of the water and then fell back.

“And fish…” Jiang Hao said.

With a bit of bad luck, one might even encounter a sea monster.

Hong Yuye casually said, “Looks like the number one through the ages doesn’t receive much respect when a simple fish can block his path.”

“Senior, you must be joking. Others might not know how powerful I am, but you know,” said Jiang Hao.

“So, you don’t lie to me?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Naturally.” Jiang Hao nodded.

Hong Yuye chuckled, and the air turned colder.

“Have you ever compared your courage with your spirit beast?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

Hong Yuye did not say anything else.

They walked for three days before arriving at the Jade Cloud Pavilion.

They were not slow, but they made several stops along the way.

When he arrived, Jiang Hao heard some rumors.

It was about him.

“It seems that the rumors spread faster than you travel,” Hong Yuye said.

“Smiling San Sheng does have some reputation overseas,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye walked through the street, and people instinctively made way for her.

No one dared to approach her, except Jiang Hao.

At this moment, he was dressed in a plain dark blue robe. He was not disguised as Smiling San Sheng.

“How does it feel?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment. “Being the center of attention isn’t something I like. Legends face too many challenges. My ambitions do not lie there. Perhaps a peaceful life is what suits me best.”

Smiling San Sheng had established his position as the number one person in the world after his battle overseas.

His reputation had soared.

It was easy to be recognized even if he walked around casually.

In the beginning, only a few people recognized him. However, who would dare to provoke him at this moment?

Before the Great Era even began, he had killed someone at the peak of the True Immortal Realm.

Provoking Smiling San Sheng was like making a death wish.

“If you weren’t so cautious, what would your life be like?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Exhausting,” Jiang Hao said without hesitation.

He would openly be making enemies of everyone and would be targeted by everyone. He would have to spend his waking hour guarding against everyone around him.

It would be too tiring.

His peaceful days would be over.

Any little slip could bring immense danger, just like how Smiling San Sheng was besieged by the Five Demons.

He would not be safe even in the Heavenly Note Sect. Those dangers would usually come from the Primordial Spirit Realm and Soul Ascension Realm cultivators.

He might even be able to deal with those, but his life would not be the same.

Which was better or worse, depended on the person. At least he preferred facing the Primordial Spirit Realm and the Soul Ascension Realm cultivators rather than immortal cultivators.

“Do you plan to stay in the Heavenly Note Sect for the rest of your life?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Life isn’t bad when I spend it taking care of your flower, Senior.”

“What if the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower matures?” Hong Yuye asked again.

“There’s still the Immortal Peach Tree,” said Jiang Hao.
