Chapter Thirty-Three: Returning Home

  Three people were smiling, but after exchanging a glance, each of them felt their nose turn sour and a surge of warmth rush into their eye sockets.

  They rushed towards each other and hugged tightly together.

  "I said I'd come out," Yang Yu Xi said with a forced casual tone, suppressing the sour feeling in her heart.

  "We also said we'd wait for you at the old place!" Qin Tiancheng patted Yang Yuxi heavily and smiled.

  Xia Jingqing was even more delighted, with a face full of joy, like a pear blossom in the rain.

  After a long time, the three of them parted ways, Yang Yu Xi rubbed her nose and said: "I'm leaving."

  "What?" As soon as this was said, Xia Jingqing immediately stopped her tears and disbelievingly asked, "We just reunited, are you leaving again?"

  "We haven't been apart for long, just a day or two......" Yang Yu Xi stammered and hastily said.

  It wasn't until then that everyone realized they had only been apart for a day or two.

  Xia Jingqing's perfect face suddenly flushed red and she said, "Then where are you going?"

  "Ah, of course I'm going home!"

  "Going home......" Xia Jingqing also knew that this matter couldn't be stopped, so her expression was somewhat gloomy.

  Qin Tiancheng saw Xia Jingqing like this, thinking she was homesick, so he gently hugged Xia Jingqing and said: "Jingqing, Yu Xi wants to go home, then we'll go home too!"

  Xia Jingzhen was taken aback and looked up at Qin Tiancheng, only to see a radiant smile hanging on his face like a sunbeam.

  "Uh-huh, we're going home too." Xia Jingqing nodded heavily.

  "So, when shall we meet again?" Qin Tiancheng looked at Yang Yuxi.

  As soon as this was said, Xia Jingqing also obviously became more alert.

  Yang Yu Xi habitually raised his head to gaze at the azure sky, where flocks of birds flew about, occasionally one bird would fly solo for a moment before merging back into the flock.

  "Four years later, Luoyang, see you again! I will go find you guys." Yang Yu Xi said slowly and firmly.

  "Four years..." For an eight-year-old child, four years is half of their lifetime, which seems a bit long.

  Xia Jingqing was just about to ask if they could leave early, when Qin Tiancheng laughed and said: "Alright, four years from now, we'll wait for you in front of the Luoyang city gate. You must come!"

  "Definitely! Don't be so weak next time, okay......" Yang Yu Xi teased.

  Qin Tiancheng's face turned red, and he secretly made up his mind. Xia Jingqing pretended to be fierce: "When the time comes, I'll beat you until you're picking your teeth off the ground!" She said, waving her tightly clenched fist.

  "Haha......" Yang Yu Xi and Qin Tian Cheng were both amused by Xia Jing Qing's cute appearance.

  "Well... I'm leaving." The three of them chatted casually for a few more sentences. Yang Yu Xi saw that the sky was getting late and felt a bit reluctant to part ways.

  "Alright, take care." Qin Tiancheng and the other person reluctantly agreed, though they didn't want to part ways.

  "Goodbye!" Yang Yu Xi turned around and ran away quickly, afraid that his tears would fall.

  "Four years later, Luoyang will see!" Qin Tiancheng shouted from behind.

  "If you don't come at that time, I'll search the whole world to find you and beat you up!" Xia Jingqing suddenly shouted from behind.

  They watched as Yang Yuxi's figure disappeared into the woods, knowing he wouldn't be back for a while.

  "Qing Er, let's go too." Qin Tiancheng took a few deep breaths and suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

  "Ah, okay!" Xia Jingqing responded loudly with red eyes.

  From afar, Yang Yu Xi saw the team gathering at the entrance, her footsteps quickening involuntarily, and the sadness in her heart gradually fading away with the wind.

  But he knew that the four-year appointment would never be forgotten by himself.

  When the time comes, heroes gather, and it will surely shock the world!

  Seeing Yang Yu Xi return with slightly red eyes, Yang Lin and others didn't say anything, directly mounting their horses to leave Haiyang City.

  The return journey was smooth, but halfway through, they stopped by Heishan Village again. Luo Tianyou insisted on bringing the villagers of Heishan to immigrate to Xiyang City, knowing that his own strength was not enough to protect the villagers.

  Earlier at the city gate of Haiyang City, Luo Tianyou begged Yang Lin for this very thing. Yang Lin was initially unwilling to agree, but considering that everything Luo Tianyou said was true, he no longer declined.

  The troops stayed in Heishan Village for a few days and then set out with the villagers to Xiyang City.

  Luo Tianyou walked at the end of the team, when the whole team walked out of Heishan Village, he stopped, pulled the reins to turn his head, and looked carefully at the mountain village where his ancestors had lived for generations, with crystal tears in his eyes.

  A moment later, when the troops disappeared into the distant sunset, Luo Tianyou let out a long whistle, slapped his horse whip fiercely and chased after the troops.

  Two days later, the troops returned to Xiakou City.

  The citizens of Yongyang naturally welcomed them with open arms, and Yang Yu Xi was extremely pleased, sitting proudly on horseback, enjoying the cheers of the crowd.

  He suddenly thought of an idiom - "returning home in glory".

  "Hey, Yu Xi!" a familiar voice sounded from the side of the road.

  Yang Yu Xi looked in the direction of the sound and was surprised to see Chen Hu, Yang Yu Xi had just thought of greeting him when he saw Lan Yu Yan beside Chen Hu.

  Lan Yu Yan still had that charming and moving appearance, when her eyes met Yang Yu Xi's, she would involuntarily lower her head, her hands clutching a corner of her clothes, rubbing it repeatedly, truly born with a flirtatious nature! If this were in the past, Yang Yu Xi would have been infatuated long ago. However, now that he had gotten to know Xia Jing Qing, Yang Yu Xi no longer thought that there was no one in the world who could compare to Lan Yu Yan. Moreover, due to a series of reasons, at this moment, Lan Yu Yan's destructive power towards Yang Yu Xi had already decreased by a lot.

  Compared with Lan Yu Yan's gentle and softness, Yang Yu Xi found himself more fond of Xia Jing Qing's lively and passionate nature.

  Yang Yu Xi pretended not to see Chen Hu, Lan Yu Yan and others, softly shouted "drive", the horse under him neighed loudly, but accelerated rapidly, directly passing by Chen Hu and others.

  "Huh? Didn't Yu Xi see us?" Chen Hu scratched his head.

  Lan Yu was staring blankly at Yang Yu Xi's receding back, she had a feeling that the two of them could never go back to the way things were before, and the reason might just be because of that one person.

  Her gaze passed through the horse team and saw Nan Gong Zang Jie not far away.

  Nangong Zhenjue unexpectedly arrived as well, which surprised Yang Yuxi greatly. He immediately slowed down his pace and locked eyes with Nangong Zhenjue.

  Nangong Zangjie still had a cold expression, but when he looked at Yang Yuxi, there was something more, something called "war intent".

  Yang Yu Xi clenched his fists tightly. When he left, Nan Gong Cang Jie was already a high-ranking Ling Qi cultivator. By now, he must have stabilized his realm.

  If he doesn't make progress for one day, then he's not his opponent for that day.

  Thinking of this, Yang Yu Xi no longer hesitated, and with a burst of speed, he galloped away, leaving all dust behind. He had to start training quickly and seize every moment!

  Chen Hu found Yang Yu Xi on the training ground, Yang Yu Xi was lying on the ground panting heavily, covered in sweat.

  "Yu Xi!" Chen Hu shouted from afar.

  "Huh? What's going on?" Yang Yu Xi sat up from the ground, wiping away the sweat on his forehead.

  Chen Hu sat down beside him and said with a sly smile: "Yu Xi, don't you want to play a trick on Nan Gong Cang?"

  "Why pick on him?"

  "He's stolen your little Yanyan! And in the days when you're not around, he's already replaced you as the king of our Yangcheng kids! San Gouzi and others are all listening to him now, can you swallow this?" Chen Hu's eyes widened, somewhat displeased.

  "Is that so......" Yang Yu Xi nodded thoughtfully. To say that he wasn't the least bit unhappy would be a lie, but after going out once, he figured it out - this title of "Child King" was completely useless; only actual strength mattered, and that's why Grandfather Yang Lin was respected by others because of his strong abilities.

  However, Yang Yu Xi also heard another message from Chen Hu's tone, that is, when everyone rushed to Nan Gong Cang Jie, Chen Hu was still on his own side. It was not easy to do this, and Yang Yu Xi was somewhat unexpected, but this move undoubtedly made a warm current in Yang Yu Xi's heart.

  He silently vowed in his heart that he would never let Chen Hu down again.

  Chen Hu naturally didn't know that Yang Yu Xi had thought so much in her heart and still thought that Yang Yu Xi was too sad to speak.

  "Yu Xi, speak up!"

  Yang Yu Xi came back to his senses and spread out his hands, saying: "But I'm no match for Nan Gong Cang Jie, he's already reached the upper level of spiritual awakening."

  Chen Hu also knew about this matter, and after a moment's thought, he gritted his teeth and asked: "Yu Xi, how much longer will it take you to break through?"

  Yang Yu Xi murmured, "It's almost time, just a few more days." This trip has broadened his horizons and benefited him greatly. Moreover, the month that Yang Sanwang mentioned is also coming to an end soon, so he must seize the opportunity to break through, even if it's not for defeating Nan Gong Cang Jie.

  "That's great! Yu Xi, take advantage of these few days to make a breakthrough, I'll arrange some things, and when you break through, let Nan Gong Zang Jie have a good time, let him be so proud!" Chen Hu heard this and was overjoyed, saying with a sly tone.

  "Uh, okay." Yang Yu Xi actually didn't have any hostility towards Nan Gong Zang Jie anymore. He even regarded him as an opponent. However, seeing Chen Hu being so enthusiastic, he couldn't bear to disappoint Chen Hu's face, so he agreed first.

  Besides, being able to save Sangong Zangjie is no harm to myself either!

  Yang Yu Xi also couldn't help but smile "heh heh".

  Chen Hu saw this and naturally burst out laughing triumphantly, the two of them looking like mischievous little devils who had succeeded in their plot.

  Seeing Chen Hu off, Yang Yu Xi stretched her waist and walked directly to the front of Cang Jing Pavilion.

  He pushed open the door and walked directly to the right side of the Scripture Pavilion, which was different from his usual route to the left side where martial arts were located. Since his "Day Moon Seal" had not yet reached perfection, he couldn't learn new martial arts for the time being, so he didn't go to the left side.

  As for the right side, some of the predecessors' experiences and deeds are placed there, which have a fatal temptation to Yang Yuxi at this time.

  At this time, Yang Yu Xi's cultivation was restricted and he could only browse the lowest level of insights, which were the understanding and feelings of the predecessors about the Ling Qi boundary. This type of insight was the most numerous because the Ling Qi boundary was the lowest boundary, and as one went higher up, the insights became fewer and fewer. After all, those who could reach a higher boundary were already few in number, and it wasn't possible to compile insights just by reaching that boundary; one had to have a deep understanding of that boundary. Generally speaking, those at the He Zhen boundary could compile insights about the Ling Qi boundary, while those at the Wei Mang boundary could compile insights about the He Zhen boundary.

  As for those predecessors who can leave behind a biography, each and every one of them is a genius, the stories of this kind of people can give people a sense of motivation and increase confidence.

  Yang Yu Xi's gaze swept over the numerous bamboo slips, for a moment unable to decide which one to read.

  "Huh?" Yang Yu Xi's gaze was drawn to a thick book, he gently picked it up, blew on it, and instantly a layer of dust flew off the cover.

  "A book made of sheepskin? It looks very expensive!"

  In the instant when dust was blown up, a faint light flashed across the cover, and then a line of golden seal characters appeared on the yellow sheepskin paper.
