The Taoist Priest has left.
He's gone, but not really gone.
The Divine Soul has returned, leaving behind only that cat tail.
And the soon-to-awaken Tao Yao.
"Sister Tao Yao, if you accept it, Beiliang will reappear in the world."
That evening, just before departing, Zhuge Qing looked at Tao Yao and softly said, "You will also lose the power of a Spirit Master and become an ordinary person."
"Isn't that good?"
Tao Yao took the cat tail with a gentle smile, "My happiest time was living as an ordinary person with Zhou Li."
"As for Beiliang..."
Looking at Zhou Li and Tang Wan tussling outside the window, along with the noisy crowd nearby, it was just like the year the Lizi Class had just been established, Zhou Li and his classmates coming here to celebrate the New Year together.
"With them here, what is there to fear?"
