C55 (1/2)
In the center of the city, at the intersection between East, South, West, and North, there was a small city called Songyu City.
The Song Yu city was located in the confluence of the four cities. There were many shops in the city, and they were called the place of trade. Cultivators needed everything they could find, so it was a good place for loose cultivators to buy supplies.
Five days later, Fu Yun and Chi Dan appeared in the vicinity of the city. They were only five miles away from reaching the city.
With Chi Dan as a companion, Fu Yun was not in a hurry to enter the city during the day. He brought Tian Ci and Chi Dan to a forest outside of the city and stopped to rest.
After almost twenty days of life in reverse, Blessing was slowly getting used to it. He thought he would wait until it was dark to enter the city, pick up firewood and start a fire.
As usual, Fuyun rarely spoke, but today was a bit different. On the way, he didn't say a single word, as if he was preoccupied with something.
As usual, Tian Ci picked up firewood and lit it for the pile of firewood. However, she did not sit down to meditate as per usual. Instead, she sat with her back to the fire, staring into the distance.
In the distance, the city of Songyu was visible.
After ten years of trekking, they finally arrived at Songyu City.
He had always lived a life without any fixed place. There were few places he wanted to go to, or where he absolutely had to go. In fact, the entire city of Songyu was one such place.
”Senior Martial Brother, why aren't you resting?”
With the Fasting Pill, there was no need to go out looking for food or firewood. At night, they still had to travel, so it was time for them to rest.
He had followed his senior for ten years and lived a life in which the heavens acted as his blanket and the earth acted as his bed. He thought that he would live this life with his senior for the rest of his life.
After entering the city, his Senior Martial Brother's behavior and expression were very strange. Not only had his lifestyle become chaotic, but he was also thinking by himself.
At this moment, like before, Little Dan was mindless and did nothing. There was no need to think about anything else. Once he had the fire, he fell asleep on the ground.
However, not only was his Senior Brother not prepared to rest, he was also looking into the distance. It was unknown just what he was thinking about.
”Tian Ci, it has been ten years since you followed me, right?”
When Senior Brother asked, Tian Ci stood up politely and walked to Senior Brother's side. She thought about it seriously and calculated the amount of time she had with Senior Brother.
”Yeah, it's been almost eleven years.”
”Yes, it's been almost 11 years. I really don't want to part with it!”
Reluctance?
What do you mean?
Why would he not want to?
Why sigh?
Were they going to separate now?
”Senior Brother, do you not want me anymore?”
Hearing his senior brother's words, Tian Ci suddenly became flustered, at a loss of what to do.
”S-senior brother, do you want to leave me?”
He was smart enough to guess what he was thinking.
Would he really be willing to leave after ten years?
Why was the answer so sad? He was really reluctant, but he didn't have a choice!
”Heaven's Gift, do you still remember why you followed me?”
It had almost been eleven years. Why had he followed his senior brother? If his senior brother hadn't asked, perhaps he had really forgotten!
Grandmother hoped that she could find her loved ones and not be alone. During the past ten years, she had been accompanied by her Elder Brother. She did not feel lonely at all, and had long since treated him as a family member.
He had promised his grandmother that he would definitely find his birth parents. Ten years passed, and his Senior Brother grew more and more familiar with them. His birth parents were as unfamiliar as ever.
”S-senior brother, could it be that my family members are in the city ahead?”
He had always been living a life of wandering with his senior brother, thinking that he would spend the rest of his life like this. It was only when his senior brother mentioned the past that he realized that he still had a mission.
”Perhaps. Didn't you promise your grandmother that you must get her name and family back? Did you forget?”
The first time they met, Heaven's Gift didn't want to leave with him, and even more so didn't want to hear his name from his mouth. For this reason, Fu Yun had never mentioned it.
Even after ten years, he still would not say anything.
”I remember, I don't dare to forget!”
”Senior brother, are you really leaving me?”
The last wishes of the grandparents were not to be forgotten, nor could they be forgotten.
He was going to retrieve his family and name?
The Senior Brother did not answer him explicitly, but his meaning had already been expressed very clearly.
”It's good that you remember!”
”In the future, you'll have to walk your own path. I can only send you here!”
Leaving was always a sad thing. Since Tian Ci had already guessed it, there was no point in continuing to hide it. Rather than saying it was like this, it could be said to be more accurate.
”Senior, wuu …”
”I … I can't bear to part with you!”
After living together for ten years, senior was like a teacher, yet he was also like an elder. He had never left senior, and now, he had to separate from senior. He was truly unwilling to part with him.
He grabbed his senior brother's sleeve and rested his head on his senior brother's arm, unable to stop the tears from welling up in his eyes.
”Heaven's gift, you cannot cry. Could it be that you have forgotten your Village Chief's orders?”
This was the city of Song Maiden, at the foot of the Hollow Jade Sect. If there was a phenomenon in the world, it would attract a large number of cultivators.
”Heavens, don't cry!”
”Senior Brother, can you stay?”
If I stay, can I stay?
No!
