Chapter 269: Chapter 251 Li Tangyu Leaves_2
“Most importantly, you, after I leave, you have to take good care of yourself,”
Li Qingqing’s eyes immediately reddened, and she lowered her head to speak:
“Is it really necessary for you to go?”
Li Tangyu nodded and said:
“I’ve already made up my mind.”
After speaking, Li Tangyu turned to address everyone:
“Brother Lin, Brother Zhang, and Sister Qing Ling…”
“After I leave, I hope you can help look after Qingqing…”
Zhang Yuan nodded and said to Li Tangyu:
“Brother Li, don’t worry.”
Lin Jing also chimed in:
“Brother Li, rest assured.”
Although Huang Qingling didn’t speak, she moved closer to Li Qingqing and gently held her arm to offer solace.
At this moment, Lin Jing asked Li Tangyu:
“Brother Li, where do you plan to go on this journey?”
Li Tangyu’s eyes sparkled with excitement and wonder:
“This time, I want to cross the Demonic Monster Sea and head to the Eastern Spirit Realm.”
“I’ve long heard that the Eastern Spirit Realm is the holy land of cultivation for human cultivators, vast in territory, with outstanding people and an inspiring environment, where almost all of the top sects in the cultivation world converge.”
“Moreover, I’ve heard that the Eastern Spirit Realm has extraordinary achievements in the Alchemy Dao, far surpassing our Nanming Domain,
“and I even heard that there are Alchemy Sects dedicated to alchemy.”
“I want to go to the Eastern Spirit Realm and join an Alchemy Sect there; I also want to witness the very pinnacle of alchemy skills in the cultivation world.”
As Li Tangyu finished speaking, everyone’s heart could not calm down for a long time.
It turned out that he had always harbored such ambitions.
…
After a while.
Li Qingqing lifted her head, her eyes red, and looked earnestly at Li Tangyu:
“Brother, go ahead…”
“I know that in this life, your greatest passion is the Alchemy Dao, and if you’re not allowed to pursue it, it would be no different from killing you.”
“I don’t want you to go, but I also don’t want you to suffer because of it.”
Li Tangyu looked at Li Qingqing with a guilt-ridden and distressed face:
“Qingqing, I…”
“I’m sorry…”
Li Qingqing wiped her eyes, which had grown a bit moist:
“Brother, I know…”
“You don’t need to apologize to me…”
Then, Li Qingqing spread a smile, yet it carried a hint of tragic beauty:
“I can take good care of myself, so don’t worry.”
“I just hope that after you achieve your cultivation goals there, you can come back and see me.”
Li Tangyu nodded firmly:
“Sister, don’t worry, I will definitely come back.”
…
Upon learning that Li Tangyu was leaving, everyone’s spirits fell, and what was initially a festive feast now lost its flavor.
In the end.
It was still Li Qingqing who took the initiative to liven up the mood.
“My brother is leaving to pursue his own path, we should not be like this, we should be happy.”
“After this gathering, we don’t know when the next will be, shouldn’t we cherish this even more?”
Li Qingqing’s words instantly enlightened everyone.
Indeed.
Li Tangyu’s departure was also a pursuit of his own path, and they should feel happy for him.
With this thought, everyone let go of their reservations, drank merrily, and decided to get Li Tangyu drunk one more time before leaving.
Perhaps it was because he was preparing to leave, Li Tangyu had also braced himself for indulgence.
This time, the wine he snuck from Elder Master Li was not just one jar; he nearly took half of the old master’s stock.
This impressed Li Qingqing a lot.
She would never dare to do such a thing, stealing at most just a little each time.
In the end.
The alcohol was almost entirely consumed by everyone.
And so, nearly all of them got so drunk they were beyond sense.
If Elder Master Li saw this, he would probably be blowing his beard and glaring, decrying the waste of such treasures.
…
In the autumn night, cold and heavy with dew.
But for these cultivators, it wasn’t much of a concern; they had long since reached the state where neither heat nor cold could affect them.
When Lin Jing awoke, he found Li Tangyu sitting there, watching everyone.
Seeing Lin Jing wake up, Li Tangyu said with a smile:
“Brother Lin, you’re awake…”
At this moment, Li Tangyu had once again become his usual self, as humble and polite as ever.
Lin Jing rubbed his head, which still felt a bit fuzzy, nodded, and then asked Li Tangyu:
“Brother Li, you didn’t get drunk?”
Li Tangyu couldn’t help but give a wry smile:
“How could I not be drunk after being plied by you all…”
