Chapter 39: Farewell
After participating in the college ranking match, returning to Yunshu College, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive for a while. Upon learning that Zhan Qingcang was leaving, Shang Qi, Hao Ren, Song Duduo and others looked unhappy, but they also knew that going to Imperial College was the best for her.
"Go ahead, you fool! Don't forget about us after you leave!" As soon as the words were spoken, Song Dudu secretly wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.
"Alright! Don't worry, you can go now! Once we've strengthened our abilities, we'll definitely come find you." Hao Ren patted her shoulder and said seriously.
"Yes, yes, our small cloud is too small to hold a great Buddha like you." Shang Qi said with a strange and ambiguous tone.
"Shang Qi..."
"Cheers!"
"Alright, alright, I know, I... but it's just that... I don't want to give it up!"
Looking at this group of friends in front of me, I feel deeply moved from the bottom of my heart. With equal solemnity, I said: "I'll be waiting for you all at Imperial College!"
"Definitely!" Several people chimed in unison.
"Be fierce, when you get there, don't let anyone bully you, exert your mighty strength and knock those people down. Did you hear?" Shang Qi raised his fist and made a few slashes in the air, as if he had already knocked down the enemies in front of him.
"Of course, who am I? The domineering and arrogant one! Only I can beat others, how could I let others bully me?" As soon as the boastful words were spoken, several people looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious. Ah! How could they forget who this person is and what kind of overbearing arrogance she has? She often harms people in a subtle way, would she be willing to suffer losses herself?
Saying goodbye to several little friends, Zhan Light walked towards the Elder Hall, and indeed, they were all waiting for her!
"You're here, Xiao Kuang." Dan Chang Lao still looked at her with kindness and a warm smile.
"Hey there, little guy, you're here."
"Be careful, come quickly, I'm telling you, if you go to the Imperial Capital, you must take care of yourself, be cautious in everything, don't let your guard down, do you understand? That place is full of hidden dragons and sleeping tigers, when your strength hasn't reached a level that makes people wary, you must be low-key, don't stir up unnecessary trouble, did you hear me?" Elder Ling was still fiery and serious as he instructed her.
"Be gentle, you're a sensible child, I believe you won't provoke trouble on your own, but if you do get into trouble, don't be afraid of it. If someone provokes you, then don't hold back either, sometimes strength is the only way to earn respect, I trust you'll handle it well." Elder Dan patted her head, as if she were a child who had run away from home, repeatedly reminding her.
"Little one, don't worry and go! Once you're there, everything will be fine, I've already arranged for someone to take care of you." Dean Yun Lie interrupted the faint warmth in the room.
Looking at these worried, relieved and appreciative faces, Zhan Liang's heart was turbulent. What virtue did she have to make so many people treat her with sincerity? Reborn in a different world, she stood out from the crowd, only willing to protect herself and live a life that didn't require looking at others' faces. For her own sake, for giving her precious son a better environment, she took the path of becoming stronger. This road was bound to be filled with thorns and obstacles, but she wasn't afraid. She would turn even a bloody and thorny road into a wide and smooth highway. Thinking that all the hardships were hers alone to endure, unexpectedly, she gained precious friendships and familial bonds like those from elder relatives. The passage of time dissolved her cold heart, and with these relationships, she wouldn't be lonely. Even if the world was vast, Zhan Liang would still venture out, and when she stood at a high place, looking down on all living things, she would smile and reminisce about the past, recalling those extraordinary years.
"Don't worry, I have a plan. Tomorrow morning, after the mountain, I'll give you something."
No matter the curious and puzzled faces behind, Zhan Liang turned around abruptly and disappeared into the night. She had to hurry up to give these people a farewell gift.
She released the Glutton, letting it sense whether there were any King or Saint-level magical beasts nearby, determined its direction, called the Glutton to climb onto her shoulder, and then ran towards the nearby deep mountains.
Gazing at this deep mountain, the fierce and sharp eyes looked forward, "Gluttony, start from the left side, Yao'er, start from the right side, drive all the King-level demons and Holy-level demons to the middle position."
Yes, time is pressing, she doesn't have the time to catch them one by one. Fortunately, there are two divine beasts helping her out. To those who treat her well, Zhan Lightcrazy will return double the favor, and she had promised Leng Lao that she would give him a contract for a high-level demon beast.
At that moment, the entire mountain range let out a burst of roars, the earth shook, and trees were knocked down to their roots. The demonic beasts all ran in terror, especially the higher-level ones, which fled even more frantically, barely escaping the divine beast's "slaughter" from behind, only to turn around and find that the true big boss had been waiting ahead all along!
The magical beasts with insight obediently followed, while the stubborn ones were beaten until their faces were bruised and swollen, eventually surrendering. Then, a large group of magical beasts bid farewell to their homeland with tears in their eyes, waving their paws goodbye.
The next morning, the sun shone brightly, and early in the morning, the Dean and the elders were already waiting there. When they saw a large group of magical beasts coming to attack, they were all shocked and almost dropped their jaws. The first one to react was still Elder Ling, whose small stars in his eyes twinkled so fast that they almost pierced through other people's eyes.
"Dean, elders, are you satisfied with the gift I sent?" Just then, a group of demons made way, and a bright girl walked out of the demon crowd, smiling at them.
"Satisfied, satisfied, haha, lightly arrogant, quickly, which one is mine? Give it to me quickly, give it to me?" The old immortal was impatient, his eyes scanning the group of demons, some "timid" demons were frightened by him and trembled with fear.
"Cough, cough."
"That's right, you don't understand, you should give the best to the Dean. Of course, the Dean gets to choose first among so many demons, hehe, Dean, please go ahead, you go ahead." The Ling elder retracted his long neck and smiled fawningly.
"Hmm! Not bad." Yun Lieyuan's head nodded in approval, and as soon as he turned his head, the sharp glint in his eyes was even more piercing than that of Lingzang Laozu!
Finally, Dean Yun Lie contracted a Blue Spotted Tiger, Vice Dean Cheng Feng contracted a Great Earth Steel Armor Bull, Elder Ling contracted a White Winged Lion, and Elder Dan contracted a Saw-toothed Flame Bird. All of these magical beasts were of the Holy rank. There were also several other Elders who had contracted magical beasts; after all, she couldn't be thick-skinned and thin-skinned at the same time, could she? With these contract beasts, Yun Shu's strength would surely rise to a higher level.
"Alright, I've finished giving out the gifts, and now it's time for me to leave."
"So soon?" The crowd, who were just overjoyed a moment ago, was caught off guard by her.
With a wave of his hand, Zhan Qinghong said: "My family is all here, I can leave at any time, so I won't say goodbye to them, it's just a waste of sentiment."
And so, with the morning sun at her feet, the girl set out on her journey. Though her figure was small and weak, her strength and determination were not to be underestimated, refusing to yield to anyone. Several old men saw her off, this exquisite scene becoming an eternal painting.
