Chapter 767: They Left (2/2)

For some reason, Tang Wulin's heart jolted upon hearing this voice, and a grim expression appeared on his face.

”Gu Yue? Is that you?” Tang Wulin asked.

”Yes,” Gu Yue replied in a faint voice.

Tang Wulin asked, ”Where are you?”

Gu Yue didn't answer his question. ”Did you eat the food I left for you?”

”I did, and it was very delicious. Hurry back now; I've only just come back, and I still don't even know how to enter the inner court,” Tang Wulin replied with a smile.

Gu Yue continued, ”I'm sorry, Wulin.”

”What happened?” Tang Wulin was only barely able to repress the sense of foreboding that had welled up in his heart.

”I'm leaving,” Gu Yue finally replied after a long silence.

”Leaving? Where are you going?” Tang Wulin asked in an urgent manner.

Gu Yue was beginning to choke up. ”I have to leave, both for you and myself. I'm sorry Wulin; goodbye.”

The call was abruptly cut off at this point.

Tang Wulin was left completely rooted to the spot. He dialed the number that Gu Yue had called from in a panicked manner, but he was only greeted by the sound of static.

He called the number over and over again, but the same monotonous static greeted him each time.

She's gone? Where did she go? Where COULD she go? I have to go find her!

Tang Wulin hurriedly rushed out of the cabin with the soul communicator in his hand. As soon as he emerged, an irresistible burst of immense power suddenly descended from above. Tang Wulin felt as if he'd crashed into an impregnable fortress, and his body was flung back violently before thudding heavily to the ground.

His strength was extremely fearsome, and even though he'd only just begun to accelerate, his momentum was still quite extraordinary. As such, the fact that he was flung back so easily was a testament to just how powerful the rebounding force he'd run into was.

A figure descended from the sky.

This was a handsome young man, but his handsome features were etched with fury. He waved a hand toward Tang Wulin, and the latter's body flew forward uncontrollably. He grabbed onto the front of Tang Wulin's top, and asked, ”Where's Na'er? Where did she go?”

Yun Ming was always a picture of serenity, and it had been countless years since he'd last been angry, yet at this moment, he was completely furious.

”Na'er?” Tang Wulin was still reeling from the panic of Gu Yue's departure, and he was a little slack-jawed.

Yun Ming raised a hand before slapping a hand onto his head. An extremely frosty sensation immediately surged through his entire body, causing him to shudder as he returned to his senses.

”Na'er? What happened to Na'er?” he asked in an urgent voice.

Yun Ming had also calmed down at this point. It was unbefitting of a man of his status to be picking on an inner court disciple, so he released Tang Wulin before handing him a letter.

Tang Wulin accepted the letter and read through its contents, upon which he was completely rooted to the spot.

”Teacher,

I'm sorry but I have to go. I don't want to part with you, I don't want to part with Mistress, and I don't want to part with the Sea God's Island, but I must go. Please don't be saddened by my departure; I have my own reasons for why I must leave, but I must tell you that I've always seen you as my family, just like my big brother and my parents. Please don't be sad; I'm fine, and there's no need to worry about me. After my departure, please look after my big brother for me. He's very exceptional, and if possible, I hope you'll be willing to take him as your disciple. Also, tell Big Brother that I'm fine, and just tell him that I've left to go find our parents.

Love,

Na'er”

The letter wasn't very long, but it told him one thing; Na'er had left!
