Chapter 769: Departure (3)

Chapter 769: Departure (3)

Midnight.

Su Yu was about to leave for the Heart Paradise Island when Wu Lan appeared at the entrance. She stared at him grudgingly and snorted without saying anything.

Su Yu laughed and asked, "What is it?"

"You know why!"

"What do I know?"

"Why are you still acting?" Wu Lan snorted again and showed him her nostrils and said, "Do you think I'm dumb? Before you left Great Xia, you invited everyone to a meal as well!"

Su Yu was surprised. So she managed to guess it? What a surprise. So she wasn't so silly after all!

He smiled and switched to voice transmission, "I'm going out for a stroll. Don't tell anyone. A lot of people want me dead."

Wu Lan snorted again and replied with voice transmission, "Are you going to come back?"

"Of course."

"In that case, I'll forgive you. You're not allowed to run off alone. Even if you do intend to leave, you need to tell me or I would have come this far for nothing. You promised me the aperture fusion art but it wasn't done! How long are you going to be away?"

"I don't know. I will probably visit my dad as well. It has been a while since I last saw him."

"Fine." Wu Lan nodded understandingly.

She had just seen her father during the new year. Meanwhile, Su Yu had not met his family during the new year.

Su Yu said, "Cultivate hard. I left some heavenly source qi to you. Use it stealthily. Don't let anyone know about this. Use it to open more apertures. If you can't advance through willpower cultivation, just advance through physical cultivation. Enter the Skysoar Realm as soon as possible and start forging your body. That way, you will have the ability to protect yourself."

"I don't need you to tell me that!" Wu Lan raised her head proudly. She naturally knew how she should cultivate. "I'll be able to extract willpower with my character technique soon."

"Are you done forming your characters?" Su Yu was quite speechless. Who was she trying to fool?

She needed twenty characters. How many had she formed? If he remembered correctly, she only had six characters. More importantly, those six might not even be compatible with this character technique.

"It's better if you can focus on human characters. Sure, they are weak, but it doesn't matter to you since you're not a fighter..."

"Who says I'm not a fighter!"

Wu Lan snorted again. She was a fighter in the field of research! Only brutes would focus in nothing but combat. Naturally, that was not what she said back when she was at Great Xia. There was no helping it. After all, Su Yu had grown much stronger than her. Thus, she no longer liked to talk about combat strength.

What could she do if weak was one of her characters? It was as though even the heavens were calling her weak. How infuriating!

Su Yu laughed and said, "The three Mountainsea beasts are left in the basement. If you need to go somewhere, you can use them as your guards. I already told them about this. They will obey you during the duration of my seclusion. Of course, be polite toward them. Don't force them to betray you." definitely better than you. Little Junior Brother, you're not enough to compete against me."

Bai Junsheng was left with nothing to say. There was no arguing that Cui Lang was better than him. Thus, he snorted and said, "Just wait. By the time I reach the ninth-stage Skysoar Realm, I'll surpass you."

"Pfft!" Cui Lang sneered before leaving. Without looking back, he said, "Partying is the only thing worth doing in life. I can only advance after I party to my heart's content. Damn it. The past few years have been absolutely miserable."

"May you meet the tigress again."

Bai Junsheng offered his blessing. This damn bastard only cared about partying. He also longed for a life like that, but he had yet to graduate. What an annoying bastard. May that bastard receive a beating, chased by his ex-girlfriends, and captured by the Sunmoon before being forced into marriage after leaving Great Ming. That would teach him.

Outside the academy, Cui Lang, or to be precise, Su Yu smiled.

That was a wide and bright smile. It would seem like his acting was decent. Even the Sunmoon tailing him was no longer following him. But he still had to be careful. Recently, he had sensed someone following him several times. He guessed that this was a secret protector assigned by Zhu Tiandao, but he did not need something like that.

Fortunately, that expert seemed to have lost him. He wondered if it was because of his disguise or if Xu Bin, his stand-in on the island, was too good at acting. Yes. To be safe, Niu Baidao had summoned Xu Bin back and forced him to act as Su Yu on the island.

He would remain as Su Yu until the real Su Yu was back. His sole mission was to stay in seclusion. It didn't matter if he wanted to do so or not. He wouldn't be allowed to do anything else apart from that.

To make it more convincing, Old Niu had even destroyed about a dozen of Xu Bin's acupoints. After all, Su Yu was officially in seclusion to recover his acupoints. Then again, Xu Bin was also very good at disguise. Niu Baidao and Zhu Tiandao wouldn't have noticed him at all if it wasn't for the Super Sensory Jade.

At the same time.

Hu Qi was seated alone in front of the Super Sensory Jade. A short while later, Niu Baidao's voice transmission arrived, "It's fine now. That fellow must have exited the city by now."

Hu Qi left without saying anything. The dot on the jade representing Xu Bin on the Heart Paradise Island transformed from the Mountainsea Realm to the Cloudbreach Realm. That was Su Yu's actual combat strength according to the jade. As the creator and controller of the jade, Hu Qi was able to easily change the label on it.

After leaving the hall, she sighed. Hopefully, everything would be fine. Some of her old friends were really at the end of the line. She looked in the direction of the prefect's residence and lowered her head with guilt. She could only apologize to her student, Zhu Tiandao. This one time, she wished to be selfish. She hoped that he would understand her.

Prefect's estate.

Zhu Tiandao was lounging on his chair while listening to some music when he smiled. Had the kid departed?

His people failed to follow that kid? Forget it. So be it. Since the kid did not want a protector, he wouldn't force it.

That damn Umbra was only strong without the brain to use his strength. Su Yu had called for dinner last night. Thus, he would definitely be leaving today. Meanwhile, that dumb Umbra was still waiting around the Heart Paradise Island. No wonder he had remained a servant all this while. He had the cultivation of a seventh-stage Sunmoon but the brain of a seventh-stage Source Opening cultivator.

"A troublemaker has descended from the heavens. Oh, how he loves making trouble..."

Zhu Tiandao started singing. This departure from Great Ming could very well be the start of Su Yu's journey to troublemaking. Whatever.

Perhaps it was time for the kid to suffer some hardships. Only then would he realize how much Old Zhu loved him. He would then realize that he should return and focus on cultivating instead of running everywhere.

Zhu Tiandao continued humming to the music, confident that everything was still within his grasp. Not far away, Zhu Hongliang had just returned home. When he heard his grandfather singing, he blanked out. Was this something good or bad?

Why did he have a feeling that nothing good would happen whenever his grandfather sang? Did an enemy of his grandfather die or something? What a pitiful guy.
