Chapter 65: Chapter 61: Farewell to Immortal City (1)
“I think it must be true. Otherwise, why can’t Su Hong say a word? What is he afraid to say?” Jiang Shizi continued, “No wonder Ye Chen doesn’t know who his father is, and he can only follow Ye Xue’s surna. So that’s how it is.” It seed as if a great secret had suddenly been revealed.
Yu Qing was very quiet, continuing to walk ahead, without responding to Shizi.
Shizi kept talking, “If this is true, then the boy is not a simple country bumpkin, he has a high background.”
Yu Qing remained quiet. Too much had happened today, and she hadn’t quite processed it all yet.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing.”
“Are you thinking about whether Ye Chen will leave Immortal City?” Jiang Shizi speculated. It must be this.
Yu Qing still didn’t say a word.
Inside his room, Ye Chen was lost in thought.
Unconsciously, they had been arguing for four hours. Qiao Fanfeng said, “Junior Sister, don’t be angry. Let’s go back first, okay? Sect Leader, please take Junior Sister Feng back first.”
Ye Xue also stood up and said, “Yes, let’s go. I won’t see you out.” As she headed towards her room, she looked clearly upset and troubled.
Under the company of Ren Xiongbei, Su Hong and Feng Niani left.
One by one, Qiao Fanfeng and the others also left, leaving the courtyard quiet once again.
Ye Chen ca out of his room. His mother’s room door was closed, and so were the windows, but the lantern inside was lit. Why didn’t they admit it? There seed to be no need for them to confirm it; their silence was their admission.
The night gradually quieted. Ye Chen didn’t go inside, but he didn’t sleep that night. He spent the entire night in thought.
In the morning, Su Hong had soone call Ren Xiongbei. At the ti, Feng Niani was eating. He was afraid to send her off in case it stirred up another scene, so he had no choice but to ask Xiongbei to co.
Ren Xiongbei greeted Feng Niani and went into the room to see Su Hong.
Ever since he’d arrived ho the night before, Su Hong hadn’t spoken a word to Feng Niani, and he didn’t dare to leave the room now.
“Is she still angry?” Ren Xiongbei asked with concern.
Su Hong nodded in response.
“Well, take it slow. But, you really shouldn’t have hit Senior Sister last night.”
Looking sowhat guilt-ridden, Su Hong took out a letter from his robe and said, “I can’t leave today. I have a favor to ask, Little Brother. Please take my Junior Sister to the Qingxuan Sect and give this letter to the Sect Leader. I’m not going to see her off today.” It seed he felt too guilty to face them, and was also worried about Feng Niani making a scene again, which would only be more embarrassing.
Ren Xiongbei nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure they get safely to the Qingxuan Sect.”
“I appreciate it.”
“There’s no need for thanks, Brother. Rest assured.”
Su Hong shook his head. He had never imagined things would turn out this way.
Ren Xiongbei said, “It’s okay. The people from the Qingxuan Sect will take them in. Don’t worry. The sect leader and I are good friends. They’ll certainly take good care of Ye Xue and Ye Chen.”
“Thank you.”
Ren Xiongbei soon left, after briefly saying goodbye to Feng Niani.
At Pear Blossom Garden, last night’s drama has beco the talk of Immortal City. Ye Xue was packing her bags. After they had finished breakfast, they had to leave this place where they had lived for less than a month.
Jing Si was calling them to breakfast.
Ye Chen was laying by the window, as if he was waiting for sothing.
Shortly after, Ye Xue ca out, shouting, “If you don’t co out for breakfast, I guess you’re not leaving?”
On hearing her, Ye Chen rushed out.
“Did you pack your things?”
Ye Chen nodded.
“Hurry and eat, after breakfast, we’re leaving.” Ye Xue seed still a bit angry. After all, what had happened the night before was extrely awkward.
Ye Chen asked, “Mother, where are we going?” The issue from last night was not important for now; understanding where they were headed was more pressing.
“The world is so vast. Without Immortal City, do we have nowhere to go? Didn’t we live just fine in the countryside before?”
“Are we going back to the countryside?”
“We’ll figure it out when the ti cos.”
Ye Chen nodded.
Ye Xue turned to Jing Si and Jing Qiu, saying, “Thank you for taking care of us so well these past days. We don’t have much to give, but take these trinkets as a token of our gratitude.”
“No need, really. Taking care of you was our duty.”
“There is no ‘duty’ in this regard. You must accept this. It may not be worth much, but it’s a heartfelt gesture. If you don’t take it, I’ll be upset.”
They took it from him.
Ye Xue turned her head and exclaid, “Hurry up and eat.” Looking at the face, full of scars, she asked, “Did you fall into a sewer again last night?”
Ye Chen dared not speak, could only lower his head and continue to eat.
“A couple more punches and I won’t recognize you.”
“Last night…” Ye Chen was still curious to know the truth.
Seeing her look, Ye Chen feared his mother getting angry and dared not ask any further. He could only pause, lower his head and continue eating.
Before long, Ren Xiongbei arrived.
Ye Xue had just about finished eating, quickly stood up and said, “Brother Ren has arrived!”
“I hope you haven’t left yet! I was afraid you’d leave without saying goodbye.”
“No, we’re having breakfast. We’ll leave after breakfast.”
Ren Xiongbei nodded and said, “That’s good. Today, I ca to send you off to the Qingxuan Sect.”
“Qingxuan Sect?”
“Yes, according to Sect Leader Su’s arrangents. He said that Ye Chen can learn Martial Arts at the Qingxuan Sect, and also get protection. It will also provide you both a place to settle down.”
“That’s not necessary, my son and I can find a place to stay anywhere.”
“That won’t do, this is a task handed over to
by the Sect Leader. I must ensure you both reach there.”
“No need, we can just return to the countryside.”
“Return to what countryside? Brother Su also told , Ye Chen is growing up day by day. Do you really want him to return to a mountain village and be a farr for the rest of his life? Definitely not. I’m sending you to the Qingxuan Sect. The Sect Leader of Qingxuan and I have good relations, it won’t be a problem to accommodate two people. Let Ye Chen go to the Qingxuan Sect. You mustn’t refuse, I’ve co bearing Brother Su’s mission, you must let
complete it successfully.”
Ye Xue gave an embarrassed smile and said with concern, “Those two…”
“Don’t worry. They’re much better, no need for concern.”
“I never expected such a thing to happen. If I had known, I wouldn’t have co.”
“Don’t say that. The important thing is, we didn’t take good care of you, we couldn’t let you stay.”
“Haha, you’ve seen a good show.”
Only then did Ye Chen find out that Su Hong would not be coming to see them off.
“In the Qingxuan Sect, it’s the sa.”
“I’ve already said there’s no need to go through all this trouble.”
“It’s no trouble. I have so business there anyway. I might as well take you with ,” although this wasn’t true, that’s all he could say.
Of course, Ye Xue knew this must have been arranged by Su Hong. Even though he hadn’t co, it was his heartfelt decision.
“Ye Chen needs a good teacher. The Qingxuan Sect is a large sect, they’ll find him a good teacher. He can learn good martial arts there.” said Ren Xiongbei.
More importantly, they would have a place to settle down.
Ye Xue stood up. There wasn’t much to be said. She called out, “What are you standing there gawking for, let’s go.”
Only then did Ye Chen stand up.
Ren Xiongbei showed concern, “Your face…”
“Just a minor accident.” Ye Chen replied.
The ti they had spent there was not long, just a month. They were leaving now, and it all felt so sudden.
Yu Qing had been up since early morning. She knew that Ye Chen and Ye Xue were leaving, it must be happening this morning, that’s why she got up so early.
Shizi took a look and said, “You can’t bear to see them leave, can you?”
Yu Qing gave a cold smile.
“Ah, they’re friends after all, let
accompany you to see them off.” The events of last night still filled Shizi’s mind.
“Hurry up and eat. If you don’t hurry, I’m leaving without you.”
“They won’t leave that quickly.” Shizi continued, “When they leave Immortal City, where will they go? They should have a place to go. After all, he is Su Hong’s son. How could he not have a place to go? They can be arranged anywhere.”
“You do talk a lot of nonsense.”
“Or else, directly send them, mother and son, to your Demon Palace. That way, you can develop a good relationship.”
Yu Qing glared at her.
“Alright, I won’t joke with you anymore.”
