Chapter 1173: A Perfectly Fine Person, How Could She Just...
Thinking back on the past inevitably brought its share of regrets.
In truth, Ruyi felt she had no real need to make this trip. She was old now.
She was no longer Ruyi the Spear Immortal who had once flaunted her martial might across the jianghu.
Her age was catching up to her; even wielding her spear felt a bit strenuous. That sense of her strength failing her will was what finally drove the realization home: she truly was old.
Looking at the wrinkles reflected on the surface of the lake, her face weathered by wind and time, she found the reality both visceral and incredibly hard to believe.
It seemed she had never once considered the reality of her own aging.
She drifted in and out of a daze.
Time spared no one. Perhaps that was why she felt so restless, inexplicably traveling all the way to Shangjing just to chase down the regrets of her youth.
Fortunately, she was never alone on the road. In the past, she had Lihua, and now she had that silly girl, Blockhead Dong. Having someone by her side made everything better.
