Chapter 56: Leaving

The bandit had just finished killing off the disciples when Shen Yuan came out of the bushes.

The bandit sharply turned towards Shen Yuan, looking at him warily, but he relaxed when he saw that Shen Yuan was only a brat as well, who came here for the experience.

"Hey, you bra-" Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Yuan slashed his head off with a single sword strike.

"Even Foundation Establishment trash dare to speak in front of me?" Shen Yuan didn't spare him a glance as he looked at the lifeless bodies of the sect disciples.

He ignored them and continued walking forward. "The main mission of this training event is already done, I don't know what I am supposed to do now." He spoke to himself slowly, trying to sort out his thoughts.

"Should I call off the training and leave? Or find something else to do? I can also look for Han Ming's sect to see if he has any relatives. But I can also directly go to his sect later." He was confused as to what to do next. Meanwhile, he continued walking forward aimlessly.

He fought with a few monsters and bandits but he finished them off cleanly, as they were at most at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm or Early Inner Sea Realm.

He collected a lot of storage rings as well as herbs and natural treasures from the training ground.

"Did my mom arrange all these for me?" A slight smile finally returned to his face when he thought about his mother.

His eyes had gained a bit more red than before from all the killing, and it was increasing his urge for slaughter as well. He was able to control himself with his strong willpower so there was no major issue in the short term.

He only spoke a short sentence and continued hugging her tightly, Shen Yuxin smiled softly looking at him, and patted his back.

"Welcome back." She spoke softly to him.

Huo Rong and Bing Rong were standing behind Shen Yuxin, smiling gently while looking at their small moment.

After a while Shen Yuan left Shen Yuxin's embrace, looking a lot better than before as he went towards Huo Rong and Bing Rong and hugged them both tightly.

"I missed you both a lot these past few days." He didn't speak anything more and enjoyed their gentle embrace.

Huo Rong and Bing Rong smiled slightly as they patted his back. They hadn't expected Shen Yuan to be so affectionate after being gone for such a short time.

'Looks like the death of Han Ming had more of an effect on him than we thought, even though it has been a short while, he is clearly more open with his feelings towards us than before.' Shen Yuxin spoke to Huo Rong and Bing Rong through her Divine Sense. Transmitting her voice to both of their minds.

Huo Rong and Bing Rong slightly opened their eyes from the enjoyment, 'I think not being able to protect someone close to him is the major reason for his change rather than just Han Ming. He might be thinking (Could I have protected my family if they were in place of Han Ming?) or something along those lines.' Huo Rong replied to Shen Yuxin.

'I think what Huo Rong said is correct, Master. Shen Yuan wouldn't have been so affected if it was only the death of a friend who he made only a few days ago, the major reason should be his inability to protect a person close to him' Bing Rong spoke up in agreement.

They all got silent for a while as Shen Yuan finally left together with his family towards the ship.

None of the cultivators around dared to approach her ship. Because they felt a chill on their backs when they saw it, as if it were a beast lying in wait to devour them whole.
