Chapter 265

Goodbye Again

Gu Yitian left Universe Sect with Daoist Bo Yang since the latter wanted to spend the rest of his life as an ordinary man. Gu Yitian obviously wouldn’t just horse around. He planned to spend some time with Daoist Bo Yang before venturing beyond Moyun Mountains to continue his body cultivation quest.

Mu Yu returned to Green Pine Sect to see the twins. The two had grown taller; however, they were still their old selves. The nine year olds were already at Foundation Establishment First Layer, which was outstanding considering they were supposed to only start cultivating at twelve years of age. They finally grew out of their dudous and wore children’s uniforms.

“You two better behave yourselves,” Mu Yu preached.

With Xiaoshuai around, the trio was named Two and a Half Tag Team – Xiaoshuai being the half. The trio even pranked Daoist Qing Song, but he’d just reproach them half-heartedly. The trio practically turned Green Pine Sect upside down with their mischief.

“There’s nobody to play with since you all left. Green Pine Sect’s disciples suck. Our ambushes are too much for them,” Kongkong whined.

“Yeah, they don’t even provide a challenge unlike when we tried to prank you guys,” Miaomiao added.

“Did Shifu mention when he’d be back?” Mu Yu questioned.

“Shifu said the place he was going to was dangerous. He, therefore, said he might be gone for a long time. He didn’t let us tag along, so we have to stay with Elder Xun.”

“You can prank whoever you want except for Elder Xun, got it?”

“The fiend beast chased Mu Yu ceaselessly. The fiend beast was so close to devouring him. At the last second, I sped in at light speed. I had to sacrifice myself. If I didn’t, it would’ve devoured Mu Yu! We went through life and death together. I am a handsome Xiaoshuai who values camaraderie.

“I told Mu Yu, ‘Goodbye, Brother. Let us be brothers again in our next life!’

“Mu Yu burst into tears and bellowed at the sky. Mu Yu, in a fit of rage, fired swords at the fiend beast. Alas, it was too strong. I was suddenly in a dark and moist tunnel. I kept reminding myself to stay calm. I told myself to fight on because Mu Yu was still risking his life for me outside.

“Once I calm downed, courage surged in me. I epically slashed at the fiend beast’s organs with my hundred-centimetres-long divine claws and ripped out its fiend spirit. Boom! It dropped to the ground. Mu Yu’s tears flowed out of control as if his dam burst. I crawled step by step, weakly breathing but forging forth. When I finally escaped, he hugged me tightly and said, ‘Xiaoshuai, you’re the epitome of courage. You are my pride. I am honoured to have you as my comrade. I love you...’”

The kids were amazed and heaped praise on Xiaoshuai. As for Mu Yu, he was busy freaking out at his erect hairs after hearing, “I love you ...”

Mu Yu: Huh, I wonder when Xiaoshuai received pointers from Village Chief. Actually, he’s already a notch ahead of Village Chief.

“Xiaoshuai, stop storytelling. Fetch this chicken drumstick.”

Village Chief Bu then took centre stage and told his classic “The Immortal Master who Knelt Before Village Chief.” Mu Yu still found the exaggerations ridiculous. In truth, the exaggerations were Village Chief Bu’s way of expressing how proud he was of Mu Yu and to remind himself how much he missed the boy.

Mu Yu left behind a stash of health supplements in the form of pills. Indeed, they were designed for cultivators. Nevertheless, some were also suitable for ordinary humans to consume.

Mu Yu headed to Crouching Dragon first on his journey to liberate Celestial Prison. The elemental demons’ teleportation formation was still unblemished. Once it lit up, it was goodbye again.
