In the center of the city, at the intersection between East, South, West, and North, there was a small city called Songyu City.

The Song Yu city was located in the confluence of the four cities. There were many shops in the city, and they were called the place of trade. Cultivators needed everything they could find, so it was a good place for loose cultivators to buy supplies.

Five days later, Fu Yun and Chi Dan appeared in the vicinity of the city. They were only five miles away from reaching the city.

With Chi Dan as a companion, Fu Yun was not in a hurry to enter the city during the day. He brought Tian Ci and Chi Dan to a forest outside of the city and stopped to rest.

After almost twenty days of life in reverse, Blessing was slowly getting used to it. He thought he would wait until it was dark to enter the city, pick up firewood and start a fire.

As usual, Fuyun rarely spoke, but today was a bit different. On the way, he didn't say a single word, as if he was preoccupied with something.

As usual, Tian Ci picked up firewood and lit it for the pile of firewood. However, she did not sit down to meditate as per usual. Instead, she sat with her back to the fire, staring into the distance.

In the distance, the city of Songyu was visible.

After ten years of trekking, they finally arrived at Songyu City.

He had always lived a life without any fixed place. There were few places he wanted to go to, or where he absolutely had to go. In fact, the entire city of Songyu was one such place.

"Senior Martial Brother, why aren't you resting?"

With the Fasting Pill, there was no need to go out looking for food or firewood. At night, they still had to travel, so it was time for them to rest.

He had followed his senior for ten years and lived a life in which the heavens acted as his blanket and the earth acted as his bed. He thought that he would live this life with his senior for the rest of his life.

After entering the city, his Senior Martial Brother's behavior and expression were very strange. Not only had his lifestyle become chaotic, but he was also thinking by himself.

At this moment, like before, Little Dan was mindless and did nothing. There was no need to think about anything else. Once he had the fire, he fell asleep on the ground.

However, not only was his Senior Brother not prepared to rest, he was also looking into the distance. It was unknown just what he was thinking about.

"Tian Ci, it has been ten years since you followed me, right?"

When Senior Brother asked, Tian Ci stood up politely and walked to Senior Brother's side. She thought about it seriously and calculated the amount of time she had with Senior Brother.

"Yeah, it's been almost eleven years."

"Yes, it's been almost 11 years. I really don't want to part with it!"

Reluctance?

What do you mean?

Why would he not want to?

Why sigh?

Were they going to separate now?

"Senior Brother, do you not want me anymore?"

Hearing his senior brother's words, Tian Ci suddenly became flustered, at a loss of what to do.

"S-senior brother, do you want to leave me?"

He was smart enough to guess what he was thinking.

Would he really be willing to leave after ten years?

Why was the answer so sad? He was really reluctant, but he didn't have a choice!

"Heaven's Gift, do you still remember why you followed me?"

It had almost been eleven years. Why had he followed his senior brother? If his senior brother hadn't asked, perhaps he had really forgotten!

Grandmother hoped that she could find her loved ones and not be alone. During the past ten years, she had been accompanied by her Elder Brother. She did not feel lonely at all, and had long since treated him as a family member.

He had promised his grandmother that he would definitely find his birth parents. Ten years passed, and his Senior Brother grew more and more familiar with them. His birth parents were as unfamiliar as ever.

"S-senior brother, could it be that my family members are in the city ahead?"

He had always been living a life of wandering with his senior brother, thinking that he would spend the rest of his life like this. It was only when his senior brother mentioned the past that he realized that he still had a mission.

"Perhaps. Didn't you promise your grandmother that you must get her name and family back? Did you forget?"

The first time they met, Heaven's Gift didn't want to leave with him, and even more so didn't want to hear his name from his mouth. For this reason, Fu Yun had never mentioned it.

Even after ten years, he still would not say anything.

"I remember, I don't dare to forget!"

"Senior brother, are you really leaving me?"

The last wishes of the grandparents were not to be forgotten, nor could they be forgotten.

He was going to retrieve his family and name?

The Senior Brother did not answer him explicitly, but his meaning had already been expressed very clearly.

"It's good that you remember!"

"In the future, you'll have to walk your own path. I can only send you here!"

Leaving was always a sad thing. Since Tian Ci had already guessed it, there was no point in continuing to hide it. Rather than saying it was like this, it could be said to be more accurate.

"Senior, wuu …"

"I … I can't bear to part with you!"

After living together for ten years, senior was like a teacher, yet he was also like an elder. He had never left senior, and now, he had to separate from senior. He was truly unwilling to part with him.

He grabbed his senior brother's sleeve and rested his head on his senior brother's arm, unable to stop the tears from welling up in his eyes.

"Heaven's gift, you cannot cry. Could it be that you have forgotten your Village Chief's orders?"

This was the city of Song Maiden, at the foot of the Hollow Jade Sect. If there was a phenomenon in the world, it would attract a large number of cultivators.

"Heavens, don't cry!"

"Senior Brother, can you stay?"

If I stay, can I stay?

No!

Once he stayed, it would only affect the future of Heaven's Gift. Fu Yun could not be selfish. He could only enjoy the friendship between fellow brothers, and did not care about the future of Heaven's Gift.

Besides, parting was only temporary. There would be a chance to meet again in the future, so there was no need to be too stubborn.

"Heaven's blessing, there is no banquet in this world that doesn't scatter. Separating is only a temporary. We'll meet again in the future, so we'll leave for a better reunion. You should be happy!"

Will we meet again?

Since this was not a farewell, he might as well meet with his Senior Brother. At most, he could just find his family and name before going to find his Senior Brother.

Ah!

"We'll meet again?"

"I thought it was goodbye forever, causing me to be sad for nothing!"

The temporary separation was also a separation. If they really were to part, how could he not be sad? Even though Tian Ci pretended to be heartless, she only wanted to hide her reluctance towards her senior brother.

One moment he was crying, the next moment he was heartless. After ten years of being together, Fu Yun could see that Heavenly Gift was pretending to be relaxed to cover his sorrows. In order to cater to Heavenly Gift, he stopped being sad and joked around.

"Haha, what an ingrate!"

In this chaotic world, it was easy to meet each other once in a while, but sometimes, when they didn't know each other's feelings, they would meet again. The memories of parting were the most sentimental and precious.

Before they parted, he had even been able to joke around with his senior brother. This would be the most precious memory bestowed upon him by the heavens.

Although the jesting atmosphere between the seniors and juniors had made the atmosphere much more relaxed, there were some things that had to be explained before they parted. The topic of sadness was still unavoidable.

"Heavens have bestowed upon us, our fellow apprentices, our fates have come to an end."

Back then, in order to close the distance between him and Yun Che, Fu Yun had called him his fellow apprentice brother.

Now that they had separated, Tian Ci would have a master and fellow disciples. It wouldn't be appropriate to address him as senior and junior brother.

"Senior Brother, didn't you say that we would meet again? Why did you say that we are already fated to be brothers?"

"It shouldn't be …"

When the fate of the two brothers ended, in the eyes of Heaven, there was only one possibility. Only one of the two brothers had died, and that was the end of their relationship.

He was still a teenager, and he still had such a good youth. As for his senior brother, the seven old ones, he definitely wouldn't die first.

"Don't make wild guesses!"

"I have a long life!"

The moment Tian Ci opened his mouth, Fuyun knew what he was going to say. Of course, he wouldn't let him continue to speak.

"Didn't you always want to learn my magic? Let me tell you, this is not magic. In the cultivation world, this is magic."

"This year is the year when the Hollow Jade Sect will widely accept disciples. After we part ways, you can go to the Hollow Jade Sect to take in disciples!"

It was no wonder that Senior Martial Brother wanted to cut off all ties with him. So Senior Martial Brother did not want to be a Dwarf. After Senior Martial Brother's explanation, Tian Ci finally understood Senior Martial Brother's intentions.

"Senior Brother, please teach me, we don't need to separate!"

Could Fuyun teach Heaven's Gift?

Of course not!

If he could teach her, he wouldn't have waited until now to learn any kind of magic.

"Heaven's blessing, everyone's path can be similar, but it cannot be duplicated. The path I'm taking is not suitable for you. You have to find your own path before you can walk in front of others, do you understand?"

If he didn't want to teach him, he could just say so. Seeing how his senior brother was full of logic, Tian Ci pouted unhappily.

"If you don't teach me, then just say it. You're being too stingy!"

If he taught Tian Ci cultivation, wouldn't that mean that Feng Yunzi had become the second person to teach him? One day, he would wake up to reality and not blame himself for being unwilling to do something he didn't want to do.

"Haha, Senior-apprentice Brother is not a stingy person. Senior-apprentice Brother is doing this for your own good!"

For his own good, he should be able to teach him. As long as he could learn a set of skills, he would be able to protect himself.

For his own good, why not stay by his side and protect him?

For his own good, it was just an excuse.

"I won't listen, an excuse!"

When he thought about how he could not be called "Shifu" and "Junior Brother" in the future, Fu Yun really wanted to scream a few more times. As for whether or not it was an excuse, the truth was better than excuses, so there was no need for him to explain.

"Junior brother, whether it is an excuse or not, you will understand in the future!"

Since his senior was unwilling to teach him cultivation, he must have his own difficulties.

This was the second time Senior Martial Brother had called him Junior Martial Brother, and it was also the last time Senior Martial Brother had called him this. Senior Martial Brother truly wanted to call him Junior Martial Brother for the rest of his life.

Things did not turn out as he wished. Since the truth could not be changed, there was no need for him to be so stubborn.

In order to prevent his Senior Brother from feeling sadness and concern for him, wouldn't it be better for him to not acknowledge his relationship as a fellow disciple and to bear that sadness and worry alone?

"I'm not your Junior Brother, you called the wrong person!"

The reason why he did not acknowledge his relationship with his fellow brother was because he did not want to sound sentimental. It seemed that he was just bickering, yet Fu Yun came out. He was still very dependent on his own talent, and even more so unwilling to part with it …

The more obedient and smart Tian Ci was, the more sentimental he would become. Unknowingly, his eyes had become moist.

"Haha …"

"That's true. After today, we are no longer fellow brothers!"

Originally, he had wanted to bear the burden and sadness alone, but when his senior brother did not mention it, he felt a bit better. He wanted to bring up his sorrows, and heaven sent a sharp pain into his heart.

He really hated the stabbing pain. He really wanted to cry, but he couldn't. Not crying was even more unbearable. He began to regret. He didn't want to bear the piercing pain, and wanted to try his best to recover.

"Senior brother, do we have to dissolve this relationship?"

Since the relationship between him and his fellow brother couldn't be broken, it didn't matter whether he lowered his status or not. The main issue was that he had to be forced to break off the relationship between him and his fellow brother.

"That's right!"

"It must be lifted!"
