283 Last Goodbye (1/2)

When the night falls, everyone gathered around the sacrificial tree. Because Yang Yun was worried that something might happen to Mingyue, he did not allow her to come closer to the tree. Yang Yun let Jiang Xiao Tian accompany Mingyue until Li Hua and his family departed.

Lu Wei came to find Yang Yun, and the two went to join the tribe members. One of the elders from the tribe was giving Li Hua and his parents some last reminder before they opened up the portal.

Yang Yun looked up at the sky and waited for another supernatural phenomenon to happen. When Mingyue touched the Shadow Grass, it was a solar eclipse. When he walked through the portal around the sacrificial tree, it was a lunar eclipse. When they returned from G City to Da Cheng, it was a full moon.

”What are you looking at?”

Yang Yun followed the voice and turned to his right and saw Chief Ye beside him. The old woman tilted her head up to look at what Yang Yun has been staring at for a long time. The stars scattered across the sky and the crescent moon hidden behind the clouds.

”I was waiting to see what kind of phenomenon would happen this night,” Yang Yun said.

Chief Ye retreated her gaze and turned to Yang Yun. ”What kind of phenomenon?”

Yang Yun stared at the Chief before he explained what had happened every time they traveled through time and space. Once he finished, Chief Ye looked at him and laughed.

”We no longer need those kinds of things to happen before we open up the portal,” Chief Ye said. ”Have you not look at the tree? The tribe members had stayed here for months to strengthen its spiritual power.”

Yang Yun turned to look at the tree. Talismans were pasted and hung all around the tree. For the first time, Yang Yun noticed that the amount of talisman has increased since the last time he came here.

”You remember the last time I came with that black cat?” Chief Ye continued. ”Do you think I waited for something to happen before I came with Xiao Mi? Of course not. Back then, when the big cherry tree stood in our village, the tribe members could travel to another dimension freely. But still, the spiritual power in this weeping willow tree was not as strong as the one in our village.” Chief Ye had a longing look in her eyes as she stared at the Sacrificial Tree.

Soon, one of the elders came forward to inform their chief that the preparation was ready. The Nanlin Tribe gathered around the tree. With Lu Wei leading the ceremony, the others started to chant, and blue light gradually appeared on the tree trunk.

Yang Yun walked over to Li Hua. The two of them had a brief chat before the portal opened up completely. Before Li Hua and his parents stepped into the portal, Yang Yun asked Li Hua to sent his greetings to Xue Yi Ming and said their last goodbye. If everything goes well, then they would probably never meet again.

Once Li Hua and his parents stepped into the portal, the bright blue light disappeared, and the portal closed.

”Do you think Li Hua and his parents will arrive safely to the destination?” Yang Yun asked Lu Wei.

”Your friend has not been away from that place for a long time. Since the essence of his world was still intact from his belongings, he should be able to return safely,” Lu Wei said.

The crowd dispersed from the Sacrificial Tree and headed back to the tent, where a few others were grilling some meat and vegetables for their gathering.

Seeing that there was nothing else for Lu Wei to do around the camp, Jiang Xiao Tian urged him to return to the palace. It has not been long since the three countries united. The country was in turmoil, and Lu Wei needed to meet his ministers to discuss the situation.

Although Her Majesty was capable of handling the ministers alone, the representative from the previous Qian Rong would not be at ease until the Emperor came back to work.

While everyone else was eating and drinking, Yang Yun took Mingyue to escape the lively party. The two of them went for a night walk and stopped as they reached a small stream.

Yang Yun thought that the two of them would sit down and relax, but once his wife saw a rare herb around the area, she began to busy herself to study the herbs. In the end, he can only watch her dotingly and let her examine the herbs for a while.
