Chapter 34     Leaving the mountain

As he walked down the mountainous road, Xuan Luo’s eyes looked bewildered. It was clear that he was frustrated and annoyed. He grumbled, “I can’t believe I’m told to leave the mountain to complete a task. Ugh! I haven’t even started learning the sword yet!”

It isn’t surprising that Xuan Luo felt this way. In regards to Zhan Feng Hua, neither Tian Yu Zi nor Wu Ya Zi were willing to back off. Coincidentally, Tian Yu Zi found out from the information department that Zhao biao tou was having some issues in Du Cheng. He needed help, so Tian Yu Zi arranged Xuan Luo to leave Wu Dang to a.s.sist him.

In regards to this, Xuan Luo couldn’t understand. Clearly, it was an accident. So why is this the conclusion? But with frustration aside, at least he isn’t the only one leaving the mountain; luckily he is accompanied by Xuan Yuan Duan Ai and Tang Chen.

“Xuan Luo, just let it go. We all know Wu Ya Zi’s temper is the worse in Wu Dang. Master Tian Yu Zi is telling you to leave because he wants to s.h.i.+eld you from harm.” Hearing Xuan Luo’s frustrations and complaints throughout their journey is causing Tang Chen to laugh. Although Xuan Luo could be very comical at times, there are still some differences between him and Tian Yu Zi. Under different circ.u.mstances, sometimes his words could shock you.

“Yes. Stop dwelling yourself in this. Most of the time, we’re not allowed to leave the mountain even if we wanted to! You already got a good deal. So quit complaining!” Xuan Yuan Duan Ai added.

Hearing this, Xuan Luo didn’t say anymore. He knows that Tian Yu Zi is doing this for his own good.

Zhang Men, the one in charge, Tian Yu Zi and Wu Ya Zi discussed for half a day and ultimately decided that this was the best outcome. If Xuan Luo were to stay in Wu Dang at this time, he would definitely become Chun Yang Palace’s sworn enemy. There would be lots of troublesome issues arising, since Xuan Luo has damaged one of Chun Yang Palace’s best disciples.

But, this was something that couldn’t be helped. How would Xuan Luo have known that his strength was this enormous? He did not use any nei li, yet he still shattered Zhan Feng Hua’s core. He doesn’t know whether he should laugh or cry.

There are always going to be unpredictable factors in a compet.i.tion. However, Chun Yang Palace is way too unreasonable; it is alright if they hurt other people, but it’s not alright if other people hurt their people. So arrogant.

“Um, Tang Chen xiong, Duan Ai xiong, I want to go drop by my home. I haven’t been home for two years.” Xuan Luo looked up at the azure sky; his gaze looked distant.

Seeing Xuan Luo like this, how could Tang Chen and Xuan Yuan Duan Ai not understand? The path of a Martial Artist has always been tasteless and tedious. Compared to Xuan Luo, they have both entered Wu Dang at an earlier age. They have certainly experienced the loneliness.

But when Xuan Yuan Duan Ai heard the word “home”, his eyes revealed a bit of anguish. Although it quickly disappeared, it was definitely revealed.

“Sounds good. I also have some issues I need to deal with. We shall meet in Du Cheng!” Xuan Yuan Duan Ai thought about it, and decided.

“Okay. Let’s meet in Du Cheng then! We’ll meet at Zhao biao tou’s store!” continued Tang Chen. “The reason why Master told us to come down is to help Zhao biao tou. Apparently he has been having some trouble.”

“Okay. It’s been decided!” Xuan Luo and Xuan Yuan Duan Ai spoke in unison.

Then, the three of them separated.

These past two years of practicing Martial Arts has made Xuan Luo’s body much st.u.r.dier compared to the time when he had left Qian Deng Zhen. The only thing that doesn’t match his body is his skin colour. During his time in Wu Dang, his original bronze skin colour has become sparkling, smooth and exquisite.

If Xuan Luo wore a feminine hairstyle, he would definitely attract many loafers…

As he walked on the path towards his home, Xuan Luo felt some excitement as well as another feeling he found difficult to explain. One of the stronger emotions he was experiencing was discouragement. Bai Tian went missing, and from that day onwards, he has never seen him again. Originally, he thought Bai Tian would have gone to Wu Dang on his own, but clearly that didn’t happen. Although during the past two years he had spent most of his time practicing, it doesn’t mean he has never thought of Bai Tian.

After some time, the sky began to slowly darken and Xuan Luo’s stomach also started to make noises.
