Chapter 956: Children, have a good trip...
Ji Qingxu was startled at first, then he burst into laughter, but his laughter was a bit desolate: "Yin girl, Uncle Ji appreciates your kindness."
"But Uncle Ji, you should stay here and guard the Tianyan Sect. Every blade of grass and every tree here is the result of my life's hard work. It is my lifelong concern. There are still many things that need my attention."
You can leave without worrying about me."
He looked at the misty mountains in the distance and said, "Besides, those little bastards in the sect might cause some trouble if I'm not watching them."
Su Chenyin wanted to persuade him again, but Su Yi gently pulled her sleeve.
He shook his head imperceptibly, his eyes full of understanding.
Ji Lier's eyes were red, she knew how deep her master's feelings for Tianyan Sect were.
The reason why the master stayed in Tianyan Sect was to wait for someone.
Although Su Chenyin felt a little regretful, she also understood Ji Qingxu's decision: "Okay, Uncle Ji. Then you must take care of yourself. We will miss you often."
Ji Qingxu nodded: "You too, be careful on your way. If you encounter any difficulties, come back. Tianyan Sect will always be your home."
"It's getting late," Ji Qingxu turned around and forced a smile, "You should set off."
As they were about to leave, Su Yi and Ji Li'er's eyes were filled with reluctance.
Su Yi and Ji Li'er looked at each other, then suddenly knelt down together and kowtowed three times to Ji Qingxu.
"Master, your disciple is leaving. Please take care of yourself." Su Yi's voice was so choked that he could hardly utter complete words.
"Master, take care of yourself!" Ji Lier's voice was choked with sobs, filled with deep attachment.
Ji Qingxu hurried forward to support him, his hands trembling slightly: "Get up, get up quickly! You will have a long journey to go, I just hope you are safe."
Su Yi and Ji Lier stood up slowly.
Su Yi wiped his slightly red eyes with his hand: "Master, don't worry, I will take good care of myself, Junior Sister Ji, and my sisters."
Ji Lier also nodded firmly and said, "Master, I will remember your teachings in my heart, and I will definitely not let you down this time."
When the master and his two disciples embraced each other, Su Chenyin and the others quietly stepped aside to leave space for this final farewell.
She saw Ji Qingxu secretly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, saw Su Yi's clenched fists, and saw Ji Li'er's lips bitten whitely.
Finally, the time came when I had to leave.
Su Chenyin stepped forward: "Uncle Ji, don't worry, we will support each other."
Ji Qingxu nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping across everyone's faces one by one, as if he wanted to imprint their appearance deeply in his heart.
"You must be careful on your way. Outside the Cang Ming Realm, the world is much wider and there are more unknown dangers." He warned earnestly.
Su Chenyin smiled confidently: "Uncle Ji, don't worry, we are well prepared and we will be safe."
Ji Qingxu looked at Su Chenyin, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
He nodded and looked up at the sky: "It's getting late, you should leave quickly and don't delay your trip."
Upon hearing this, Su Chenyin and the other twelve bowed deeply to Ji Qingxu.
Su Chenyin took out the space storage talisman and whispered to Ji Lier, "Sister Ji, I'll bear with you for a while."
Ji Lier nodded, and her figure gradually disappeared in the silver light.
Everything was ready. Su Chenyin turned around and left with everyone.
Their figures gradually moved away and disappeared from Ji Qingxu's sight.
In front of the bamboo house, Ji Qingxu stood with his hands behind his back, the mountain breeze blowing his robe.
He looked at the backs of Su Yi and Su Chenyin walking away, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Remember! No matter where you go, Tianyan Sect will always be your home!"
Su Yi in the distance did not look back, but just raised his arms high and waved.
But Ji Qingxu clearly saw a crystal teardrop sliding down his apprentice's cheek, reflecting colorful light in the sunlight.
Ji Qingxu slowly turned around only when their figures completely disappeared at the end of the mountain road.
He stroked the Tianxin Lu grass left by Su Chenyin and murmured to himself: "Kids, have a safe journey..."
In the yard, the tea has cooled down, but the fragrance remains.
The old peach tree in the yard suddenly dropped a few petals, as if it was also sighing for this farewell.
……
At the gate of Tianyan Sect.
Su Yi's gaze fell on this familiar sect, his heart filled with reluctance.
This place witnessed his growth and carries too many of his memories.
Here, he practiced and exchanged ideas with his fellow disciples, and experienced both laughter and tears.
He had experienced countless setbacks and failures, but every time he was able to find the motivation to move forward in this sect.
Every blade of grass, every brick and tile here are closely connected to him and are an indispensable part of his life.
Although he was reluctant, he had to embark on this unknown journey in order to find his mother.
Su Chenyin seemed to be aware of Su Yi's mood, and she walked gently to Su Yi's side.
She reached out and patted his shoulder, and said gently, "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely come back. When we find our mother, we will go back to Tianyan Sect together to visit Uncle Ji."
Su Yi turned his head and looked at Su Chenyin's firm yet gentle eyes, and the uneasiness in his heart was slightly relieved.
He nodded slightly: "Well, I believe we will come back."
Although his voice was a little low, it revealed a firm belief.
"Brother." Su Chenyin called softly, "It's time for us to go."
"Hmm..." Su Yi nodded in agreement and then looked away.
Su Chenyin and his companions rode the flying beasts and flew towards the endless sea of Yueya Continent.
The flying beast gradually disappeared into the sky, leaving only a long shadow.
Behind them, the towering mountain gate of Tianyan Sect gradually disappeared into the twilight.
Ji Qingxu stood quietly on the observatory, his figure looking somewhat lonely in the twilight.
He stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the flying beasts ridden by Su Chenyin and others, watching them turn into small black dots in the sky until they completely disappeared from his sight.
An indescribable reluctance flashed across Ji Qingxu's eyes, but he did not say it out loud.
"Master, it's windy outside." Chen Ping's respectful voice came from behind, breaking the silence.
Chen Ping held a cloak in his hand and carefully handed it to Ji Qingxu.
Ji Qingxu waved his hand, indicating to Chen Ping that there was no need to do so.
His gaze still remained on the sky, as if he could penetrate the endless darkness and see the path that Su Chenyin and others were taking.
"Kids, have a safe journey." Ji Qingxu murmured softly.
This sentence seemed like a blessing to Su Chenyin and others, and also like a comfort to himself.
On the back of the flying beast, Su Yi gripped the armrest tightly, his knuckles turning white.
His eyes were fixed behind him, watching the outline of Tianyan Sect getting smaller and smaller in his field of vision until it finally disappeared.
That's where he grew up, and every inch of land carries his memories.
He thought of the martial arts arena where he practiced swordplay in the morning, and the bamboo forest where he and his fellow apprentices exchanged ideas...
There was also a quiet room where his master taught him to practice. In that quiet place, he realized many of the true meanings of practice.
The flying beast passed through a thick layer of clouds, and Tianyan Sect completely disappeared from his sight.
A faint melancholy welled up in Su Yi's heart.
But he knew that there was a wider world ahead waiting for him to explore.
