Chapter 285
After the failure of their original plan, the Southern Frontier became much more docile. Following negotiations with Tianqi, they voluntarily took their leave and returned home.
After seeing off the Southern Frontier envoys, Qin Yuchuan finally had some free time. He continued his daily routine of clocking in for driving lessons, having now successfully passed the subject two exam and begun practicing for subject three.
As Feng Qingyi's work entered a regular rhythm, she also became increasingly busy. Their wedding, originally planned to be held in the modern world, was pushed back to October.
One day after work, when Feng Qingyi and Qin Yuchuan returned home, they found Guang'an sitting in the living room. They weren't particularly surprised by his sudden appearance.
The agreed-upon month had passed, and it was time to return the space stone to him.
"Have you made your decision?" Guang'an asked once again.
"Master Guang'an, there's no need to ask further. I've already made my decision," Qin Yuchuan said, promptly returning the space stone to Guang'an.
Guang'an looked deeply at Qin Yuchuan. "Since you've made your choice, I wish you both lasting happiness."
"Thank you, Master. We will be," Qin Yuchuan expressed his gratitude.
After Guang'an left, Feng Qingyi suddenly asked, "If it weren't for this dragon and phoenix jade pendant, would you have chosen to stay in this world?"
"From the moment you agreed to be with me, I had already made all my plans. Even without the jade pendant, I would still be with you. However, I would have chosen to bring my mother over as well."
Long ago, he had gleaned some information from Guang'an's words. At that time, he had already prepared to give up what he once had and come to this world.
"Don't you feel it's not worth it? It seems like you've always been the one giving more in our relationship, while I haven't done much."
Qin Yuchuan sat beside her and put his arm around her. "You don't need to do anything. Just stay by my side, that's enough."
At Guanyuan Temple, Qian Jue was waiting for Guang'an in a side room.
They had known each other since they were young, but pursued different paths due to differing aspirations. Now they were about to part ways again. He didn't understand Guang'an's persistence but could only choose to respect it, hoping that he would achieve the results he desired.
When Guang'an returned to Guanyuan Temple and saw Qian Jue sitting in the side room, he wasn't surprised. He knew he would come today.
"Thank you for your hospitality during this time, but I really must leave now. Goodbye, and I hope everything goes well for you here."
Qian Jue looked at him. "I hope you achieve your wishes too. Goodbye."
After they parted, Guang'an entered the small room in the secret passage and placed the space stone on the stone platform.
Soon after, the space stone emitted a dazzling light. Under its radiance, Guang'an disappeared, and then the space stone vanished into thin air.
In another world.
When Guang'an woke up, he was in a hospital.
He looked at the nurse beside him. "Excuse me, what happened to me? Why am I in the hospital?"
"Don't you remember? You suddenly fainted on the street and a passerby called an ambulance to bring you here," the nurse said.
Guang'an sat up in bed. "I just woke up and my head is a bit dizzy. I can't remember clearly."
"Rest a bit more, and you might remember. Call me if you need anything," the nurse said.
After the nurse left, Guang'an got up from the hospital bed and saw his current appearance through the window. He seemed to have returned to the year he had dropped out of school and left home without permission - the year he had left this world.
He had thought it would be fortunate enough just to return, but he hadn't expected to come back to the exact time he had left.
This way, he could make up for those past regrets.
Guang'an hurriedly walked out of the hospital room but was stopped by a nurse. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going home."
Hearing Guang'an's words, the nurse said, "You're still weak. Get today's injection first, and when you've recovered, you can go through the discharge procedures."
Guang'an refused. "Thank you, but I have urgent matters to attend to. I'll go through the discharge procedures now."
After quickly completing the discharge procedures, Guang'an looked at the message on his phone. His bank account balance was down to two digits.
Looking at the train ticket home, he resolutely chose to buy it.
Perhaps for them, he had only been gone for a little over a month, but for him now, he had been away from home for nearly twenty years.
In the spatial rift, a White-Clothed Man clutched the space stone in his hand.
A Green-Clothed Woman beside him wanted to take it for a look, but he stopped her.
"If it weren't for your playfulness, dropping this thing into another space, how could it have caused such temporal chaos?"
The Green-Clothed Woman pouted, "Alright! I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to, and besides, we've found it now, so stop blaming me, okay?"
"Don't let it happen again. If you cause trouble in the future, I won't help you anymore," the White-Clothed Man said.
The Green-Clothed Woman nodded repeatedly, "I promise I won't. I swear."
The White-Clothed Man destroyed the space stone in the spatial rift. It was merely an immature prototype they had developed, and no one knew it would have the ability to traverse time and space, even developing some new functions.
Qian Jue and Guang'an had gone to another world because of this stone, and it was because of them that he became aware of the space stone's movements.
He had wanted to retrieve it himself, but he was restricted from entering other worlds.
So he had to choose Guang'an, who had entered that world first, and granted him the ability of foresight, hoping to use his help to find the whereabouts of the space stone.
What he hadn't expected was that the space stone they had created could choose its own master after splitting, which had cost him quite some effort to retrieve.
Now that everything had settled, since he had used Guang'an, it was only right to give him some compensation.
He had originally thought that Qian Jue would choose to return to his own world like Guang'an, but unexpectedly, he had stayed behind. This was beyond his expectations.
Now that the space stone had been destroyed, it could be said that the root of all problems had been resolved.
"Brother, since this thing has been destroyed, let's hurry back. They must be waiting for us!" the Green-Clothed Woman said.
The White-Clothed Man nodded, "Mm, then let's leave."
With these words, the two disappeared from the spatial rift.
