Chapter 357: Farewell
🕑 Added 2024-10-18 09:17:04 +0000 UTCLin Xiao and Jiang Youfu stayed in Yuanling City for two more days.
During this time, they organized the various items they had purchased in the world of cultivation, and bought a few things to send to Liu Chun. They were now only waiting for Yuan Qing, who had decided to travel with them, to finish packing before they would depart.
Yes, Yuan Qing had chosen to follow Lin Xiao.
Yuan Bi didn’t try to stop him.
He felt that letting his nephew travel with Daoist Lin would be good for him, offering a chance to clear his mind. Staying at the Yuan family wouldn’t be much help, especially since Yuan Qing had been away from the family for years and didn’t have any close relatives or friends in Yuanling City. After the Wu family incident, it was uncertain what kind of trouble might follow, and both he and the ancestor would likely be too busy to look after Yuan Qing.
This day had been agreed upon as their departure day.
Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu arrived at the Yuan family’s back mountain. After concluding their business discussions with Yuan Bi, they followed him to visit Liu Chun.
When they arrived, Liu Chun was in the middle of crafting talismans.
Seeing Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu, Liu Chun was delighted. He quickly put down his work and greeted them:
"Sect... Brother Xiao, are you leaving?"
Lin Xiao nodded:
"Yes, we’re preparing to return to the sect."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chun understood that Lin Xiao must have already informed the Yuan family head about their sect.
Lin Xiao handed him a storage pouch and said:
"Here are some supplies we’ve prepared for you. Keep them for yourself. If anything happens, speak to the family head. The sect will also send people regularly to check on you. Focus on taking care of your sister here."
Unsaid was the fact that inside the storage pouch was also a letter explaining the situation, so that Liu Chun would know how much had been disclosed and wouldn’t be caught off guard.
Taking the storage pouch, Liu Chun nodded solemnly.
"Don’t worry, Brother Xiao, I will take good care of both myself and my sister."
After exchanging farewells, Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu took their leave.
Before leaving the mountain, they visited the seclusion cave of Yuan Ruogu, the Yuan family’s ancestor, to bid him farewell, and only then did they depart from the Yuan family’s back mountain.
As they descended, they saw Yuan Qing already waiting outside the courtyard.
This time, it was Yuan Bi’s turn to entrust someone to their care.
"Daoist Lin, Daoist Jiang, I leave my unworthy nephew in your care for now."
Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu humbly responded, exchanging polite words.
Afterward, Yuan Qing followed Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu as they left the Yuan family.
Instead of returning to the inn, the three headed toward the city outskirts.
After all, they couldn’t always vanish from the inn, right?
On the way, Lin Xiao began preparing Yuan Qing mentally.
"Daoist Yuan, are you sure you want to follow us wherever we go?"
Yuan Qing chuckled:
"Of course. You’re not going to take me up a mountain of knives or through a sea of fire, are you?"
Lin Xiao scratched his face, thinking that once they transported him, without a teleportation array, Yuan Qing wouldn’t be able to return. Seeing Yuan Qing’s relaxed attitude, as if he didn’t care where they went, Lin Xiao dropped the matter.
Once they reached a secluded spot outside the city, Lin Xiao took out a teleportation array.
Yuan Qing watched as Lin Xiao placed a black array disc on the ground, unsure of what was happening. Then, after activating the array, Lin Xiao gestured for him to step in.
"Daoist Yuan, come here quickly."
Seeing this, Yuan Qing quickly walked over and stepped into the array.
A faint white light flashed, and the three of them vanished from sight.
