Let Me Explain, Fairy

Chapter 1115: Chapter 697: Changes

The eagle soared through the vast sky, its piercing cries reverberating through the heavens, stirring gales that swept through the loft. Standing atop the pavilion, Xu Yuan saw countless gazes raised toward him.

The surging waves of Qi and the oppressive aura captivated the attention of the entire Prefecture City, compelling people to unconsciously drop everything in their hands.

Some bowed their heads in reverence, others fixed their eyes upon him, some felt gratitude for their survival, while yet others harbored hatred for lost kin.

Xu Yuan watched indifferently as the varied emotions played out beneath him. Only when he noticed the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army’s Second Town offering him fists-clasped salutes did a faint smile escape his lips.

[Among these twenty thousand soldiers, not a single one shall perish at the hands of the Saint before me!]

Li Junwu’s promise to these humble soldiers resounded in his ears. Squinting slightly, Xu Yuan turned and began to walk toward the inner deck.

So it seems that fellow truly knew how to gauge people and act accordingly.

Betrayed those who trusted him, yet upheld his pledge to the soldiers, using his life to honor that promise.

The Mystic Eagle flapped its wings, traversing a hundred zhang in an instant.

In the silence, Xu Yuan halted at the edge of the threshold, suddenly turning back to gaze wistfully at the colossal city fortress that belonged to her.

The Mystic Eagle’s palace had already ascended beyond the skies of Zhenxi Prefecture City. The countless upward-glancing gazes had vanished, leaving only the solitary city in the distance to shrink further into the horizon.

The high-altitude currents receded swiftly. His unbound long hair danced in the wind, obscuring his sight.

In his dazed moment,

Xu Yuan spotted a figure—a woman clad in military attire—standing upon the towering city wall, bathed in dawn’s golden light. Her white hair sparkled with radiance under the morning sun.

She earnestly waved at him, bidding farewell as he drifted farther away, then turned with a smile and vanished beyond his view…

“How ridiculous…”

Drawing in a trembling breath, Xu Yuan murmured with a smile:

“Farewell… Junwu.”
