Lin Yuluo let out a soft chuckle, her laughter carrying something heart-wrenching.

"Since that's the case, let's meet less from now on, just consider us ordinary friends. This time, you saving me can be seen as you repaying me."

After saying this, Lin Yuluo lay back on the chair and covered herself with a thin blanket.

Ling Zhenfei's heartbeat quickened slightly, not sure why, as if there were chains binding his heart; the pain intensified wherever his heart pulsed.

This might be what they call heartbreak. Rushing to the Southern Hemisphere on the second day of the New Year, only to end up with such a conclusion.

Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt something missing from him, becoming disoriented, maybe it was his soul.

His mind was filled with memories of him and Lin Yuluo, the countless moments they'd shared, and how at one point, he was mistaken for Lin Yuluo's boyfriend.

Eventually, he truly became Lin Yuluo's boyfriend, then this trip to Moergawa, and now their breakup, all of it felt like a dream to Ling Zhenfei.

Beneath the airplane was blue ocean, the sky as clear as a mirror, and the clouds danced with the aircraft as if playing alongside it.

Ling Zhenfei stared blankly at the sea, until he was gently nudged back to reality by a flight attendant.

Turning around, he saw a pretty flight attendant smiling at him in her blue uniform.

"Do you need something?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

The flight attendant smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Ling. Could I have your autograph?" She said this while pulling out a notebook and pen from behind her.

Ling Zhenfei took them and signed his name, and even asked for the flight attendant's name to write her a note of blessing.

Soon after, several more flight attendants came by for autographs and photos. By the time it was all done, they realized the plane had already entered Huaxia's airspace.

Once the plane landed, Ling Zhenfei finally stepped back onto Huaxia soil.

But this time, his mood was indescribable; Lin Yuluo hadn't spoken a word to him since they boarded the plane.

This time the plane landed in Modu; they had pre-purchased tickets to fly directly to the Provincial City, and from there to Binyang.

Originally, Lin Yuluo was also going to Binyang, but she suddenly changed her mind to go back with Xiao Yaqing, perhaps not wanting to travel with Ling Zhenfei.

Xiao Yaqing consoled Ling Zhenfei, "Don't worry, I'll talk to Yuluo."

Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly; he knew that in these matters, no one could really make a difference — the two of them might really be over.

"Thanks, but don't push too hard. I know her personality, but thank you anyway."

Xiao Yaqing said, "I should be thanking you. It was Yuluo who called me, and then I reached out to you. I didn't expect you to accompany me, thank you."

"Don't mention it, goodbye."

As they spoke, Lin Yuluo called out to Xiao Yaqing from afar, "Let's go, what are you still chatting for."

Xiao Yaqing sighed in resignation, "I'm leaving then."

She quickly trotted a few steps in her high heels to catch up with Lin Yuluo.

Lin Yuluo led Xiao Yaqing away without a backward glance, whereas Xiao Yaqing turned back every few steps.

"She's angry, shouldn't you go explain?" He Kun asked perplexed from the side.

Ling Zhenfei shook his head, "You don't understand her personality. Once she's made up her mind, only she can change it, nobody else can."

"So it means you're heartbroken now?" He Kun asked.

Ling Zhenfei could only snicker, "Can't you stop stabbing me in the heart with your words, I'm already feeling bad enough."

"I don't see why you're upset," He Kun said.

By the time the two had traveled back to Binyang from Modu, it was already the eleventh day of the New Year, and they finally returned to Binyang.

Binyang was still celebrating the New Year, the roads were bustling with groups playing dragon dances and walking on stilts, looking quite lively.

Xi Shan Restaurant had already begun to open, but Ling Zhenfei, eager to return home, didn't stop there and headed straight for Binyang.

Throughout the journey, he hardly paid much attention to He Kun, noting only bits of the surroundings, which seemed fairly prosperous with people flocking in, because they had just opened up a resort villa there.

Ling Zhenfei was surprised he missed the resort's opening, finding it ironically amusing.

He had to set aside matters concerning Lin Yuluo for now; returning alive from Moergawa was fortunate enough, though the person he saved ended up breaking up with him, which was slightly ironic in hindsight.

The scenery of Qinghe Village was truly beautiful, the snow-covered mountains presenting an unspoiled, primeval forest feel.

"The Northern Spiritual Energy here is surprisingly abundant," He Kun couldn't help but exclaim.

Ling Zhenfei replied, "This is Xianling Mountain, a cultivator's paradise, naturally rich in Spiritual Energy."

"No wonder you cultivated so quickly; the environment really supports you here," He Kun remarked.

Ling Zhenfei inwardly smirked; his rapid cultivation was actually due to Di Tian Shen Sui, where the Spiritual Energy was truly abundant.

Upon reaching Qinghe Village, Ling Zhenfei headed straight to his house. Since both Xishan Manor and Xi Shan Resort Villa had started operations, Zhou Yun was understandably busy.

She wasn't at home as expected, but Chunyu was; hearing sounds outside, she rushed out.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei had brought someone along, Chunyu quickly noticed the Spiritual Energy emanating from this person.

Confronted with such a skilled individual, Chunyu naturally didn't want to miss a chance and pestered to spar with He Kun.

Chunyu was quite outgoing and strong enough that few could get close to her, so she feared no one.

She frequently searched for various Cultivation Techniques from Ling Zhenfei, and combined them with those learned from her spars with Bai Mei on Qiulian Mountain, ending up with a rather eclectic mix.

Yet, Chunyu was undoubtedly a genius, and integrating such a diverse range of techniques was no small feat.

Therefore, though He Kun's current strength far surpassed Chunyu's, in terms of Cultivation Techniques, he wasn't her match.

But the strength of one's cultivation dictates their ability, and despite their differential in realms, Chunyu couldn't compete with He Kun.

However, He Kun could learn a great deal from Chunyu regarding techniques.

Liu Bingying and Xiao Ke had long since returned to Binyang due to time constraints. Originally, Ling Zhenfei planned on spending a nice New Year with Liu Bingying and Xiao Ke, but the unexpected events prevented him from returning throughout the holiday.

He could only make it up to them some other time, the thought of it still frustrating.

Handing Chunyu over to He Kun, Ling Zhenfei headed towards the manor, intending to find Zhou Yun and Chen Qian to inquire about the current state of the manor.

As expected, Chen Qian was in the office, busy organizing things, and upon seeing Ling Zhenfei enter, he quickly approached to greet him.
