784 Writings in the Sky (2/2)
”Still, we must have some sense of awareness. We can't be too blinded.” Chun Wanfeng chuckled in self-ridicule. ”Boss is a sentimental person. If we wanted to leave with him, he'd have granted our wish however he could.”
”Unfortunately, our speed of advancement, the level of our state of mind, our temperaments and persistence, they're too far apart from boss.”
”Our insistence will only hold him back! It will drag him down and slow him down enough to harm him – that'll be failing him.”
”Since boss is fated to fly past the clouds, why should we become his burden? That won't do good to any of us!”
The four of them looked at each other and grinned softly. ”We can't do anything for boss, but we can let him enter the battleground with a light heart. In the future, we can boast to our children and grandchildren that the legend of Tianxuan, the brain of the Supremes, Supreme Cloud, was your grandfather's brother. That's also a delight in life.”
Dong Tianleng stood up. ”No time to think about the future so much. Let's pack up quickly and return home.”
He looked at the other three men. ”After I go back, I'll cultivate closed-door for some time before I roam the martial world to gain some experience… If I have the chance to go to the Bound of Universe in this lifetime, I'll try to meet boss again. If I can't ultimately… that's my life too.”
”Indeed so!” The other three agreed wholeheartedly.
”Let's go!”
…
The four young masters left the room to see a guard standing by the door.
”When Young Master Yun left just now, he left four rings for you young masters.”
As he spoke, he passed the four rings over.
The four men took one each, feeling a surge of emotion within them. For a moment, they dared not open it.
”Let's check them out after we reach home.” Dong Tianleng kept the ring and said, ”What boss left for us must be extraordinary… We can't cause any more trouble for him at this point in time.”
”That's how this should be.”
”Let's go!”
…
On that very afternoon, the four noble young masters left with minimal baggage and guards, quietly exiting the southern gate of Tiantang City. After traveling a distance of five hundred miles, they then separated into four different directions and disappeared swiftly into the wild.
No one noticed their departure because, at this time, a big line of words were formed out of clouds above Tiantang City. Everyone's attention was riveted by it.
”Mr. Nian, we shall meet at Tianxuan Cliff in three days!”
A row of words floated in the sky silently. Sometimes it was dark clouds, sometimes it looked as white as cotton; occasionally it was colorfully hued, occasionally it was lined in gold. The hint that the words were manmade was evident.
After a while, the words in the sky slowly grew, expanding massively. The change was shocking, attracting everyone's focus.
The entire capital was sonorously cheering.
”Supreme Cloud!
”It's Lord Supreme Cloud!”
”Lord Supreme Cloud is back!”
