Chapter 483: Farewell (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Eighteenth Secondary School.

At the entrance.

When Su Yu and company arrived, Bai Feng and the others were walking out of the rear mountain.

That was quite a large group.

Wu Yuehua, Hu Ping, Zhao Mingyue, Xia Yunji...

All these people had arrived.

They were here to bid Liu Wenyan farewell. Meanwhile, Bai Feng was standing alone to the side, looking incomparably pitiful and lonesome.

When Bai Feng saw Su Yu's arrival, he regained his spirit. He joyfully said, "My precious student, you're finally here! It has been a while! Your teacher misses you a lot!"

"..."

Su Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. He stepped forth and gave a slight bow, "Teacher."

"Be at ease. Stop wasting time with these formalities." Bai Feng was in a decent mood. He smiled at Chen Yong and said, "Senior Brother, has this kid been creating more trouble for you?"

"Nope." Chen Yong smiled,"If even you aren't creating trouble, how would he create trouble?"

"What are you saying?" Bai Feng laughed, "I'm going to the Allheaven Battlefield soon. What trouble can I create? Killing enemies is the only thing I can do from now on."

He looked at Su Yu and sighed, "I don't think I have taught you much. It's really regrettable. I was looking forward to your advancement into the Skysoar Realm during your time in the grotto to fulfill this final wish of mine. What a pity."

Su Yu rolled his eyes. Was there a need for that? His teacher was still thinking of studying his blood character.

"Teacher, how's your injury?"

"I'm all fine now." Bai Feng said, "My injury isn't too bad. I only have some destroyed characters and a drop in willpower cultivation. That's nothing. I will recover in no time and become a super expert at the eighth or ninth-stage Skysoar."

"But your rivals have all entered the Cloudbreach Realm..."

Bai Feng was rendered speechless. Why mention that? Did the kid think that he wasn't aware of that? The kid was really bad at conversations.

"What's the big deal about the Cloudbreach Realm?" Bai Feng indifferently said, "A temporary lead does not mean anything. I only regret that I will no longer have the chance to do a few things. Firstly, I will no longer be able to deal with Shan Tianhao's grandson, the super genius from Great Zhou. Secondly, I also won't have the chance to deal with that bastard from the war academy anymore. If you manage to enter the Skysoar Realm...forget it. You probably won't be that bastard's match. I'll deal with him myself after returning."

Bai Feng continued muttering to himself, "I'm heading out to the battlefield, but I don't even have a lady seeing me off. Look over there..."

He winked in Liu Wenyan's direction.

"Kid, you shouldn't learn from me. You should learn from your Teacher Liu. Just look at him. Tsk tsk."

Bai Feng started laughing, but immediately after, Wu Yuehua gave him a glare. His face instantly turned dark. He had been poisoned by a single glance. He helplessly cupped his hands at her and begged for forgiveness before the tone of his face returned to normal.

Su Yu had to resist the urge to laugh. After thinking about it, he said, "Teacher, I have organized some information regarding ability blood essence. Can you have a look and see if I got anything wrong?"

"You're asking me to check your homework?"

Bai Feng laughed, "I almost forgot about this!"

He then accepted a jade talisman from Su Yu.

But when he sent his willpower inside, his eyes flickered. He looked at Su Yu and smiled, "My lovely student, you have reached a high attainment in research."

There were six cultivation manuals in the talisman. Four of them were cultural arts, one of them was Body Strengthening Art, and the final one was Pure Source Art.

Bai Feng was both surprised and unsurprised. He could only sigh. This kid had finally remembered to give his teacher a meeting gift right before his teacher was about to depart for the battlefield.

After memorizing the manuals, Bai Feng smiled and crushed the talisman before saying, "Don't spread this around. You should take this seriously. The ability blood essence research of our faction is invaluable. Be careful lest some people start coveting what you have."

The air around the crushed talisman also twisted, completely destroying any trace of the talisman ever existing. Finally, Bai Feng said, "Well done, kid. But I don't have anything for you. Your teacher is too poor. I'll try to slaughter a few divines or devils at the battlefield and send you some blood essence..."

"One final piece of advice for you. You may know a person for a long time without understanding their true nature. Be careful when making friends. You might be crafty, but you still lack experience. Don't get yourself scammed."

"I understand."

Su Yu nodded.

At this time, Liu Wenyan had finally broken free from the pestering of his close female friends. He walked over, looked at Su Yu, and nodded, "Not bad."

"Teacher Liu!"

"No need for formalities." Liu Wenyan waved his hand, "Back when Bai Feng offered to take you as a student, I honestly thought that it wouldn't affect you much. You have always been someone who enjoyed keeping to yourself. I thought that you would not get into conflicts in the academy and would focus on doing research with Bai Feng. But...what a surprise."

Liu Wenyan had not expected that not long after Su Yu's arrival, the multiple character faction was thrown into one trouble after another. In hindsight, joining the multiple character faction was not necessarily a good thing for the kid anymore.

In the past, he had recommended Su Yu to the multiple character faction because he was afraid that the kid would be all alone in the academy. But now, he was starting to regret dragging the kid into all these troubles.

Su Yu smiled, "Teacher, I am very happy with my current environment."

This place was not as pure and exciting as a war academy, but Su Yu had still learned a lot from this academy.

"Well, as long as you don't regret it." Liu Wenyan then said, "If you need any help, feel free to look for them. They're all my friends."

He pointed at Xia Yunji and company. "Don't worry about your father or the military. Most people wouldn't dare to play any tricks with the military. And the few with the courage to do so wouldn't be able to extend their influence that far anyway. At the Allheaven Battlefield, we will try to...no, forget that. We might bring your father more trouble if we see him."

He wanted to offer to visit Su Long on Su Yu's behalf, but he decided against it. That would only bring Su Long more trouble. There was no need for that.

"I hadn't really taught you that much during your time in secondary school. And you had appeared to help me at the warzone. That was honestly very surprising for me. I don't know what to say about that..."

After a short thought, Liu Wenyan took out a jade talisman and handed it to Su Yu. "I don't have any parting gift for you. This is a collection of what I have comprehended about cultivation over the years. I am only a Skysoar so it's not that valuable. Just keep this as a momento."

Su Yu accepted the talisman and said, "Thank you, Teacher!"

Liu Wenyan smiled and looked at Wu Jia before saying, "Little girl, come over here."

Wu Jia didn't know Liu Wenyan well, but she wasn't shy. She stepped forth and greeted with a cheerful tone, "Nice to meet you, martial granduncle."

Liu Wenyan laughed and said, "Before I know it, I'm already old enough to be a martial granduncle. You are different from your junior brother. He is someone with his own thoughts since he was young. He is a relatively independent person. According to what your grandteacher told me, you are a tad bit impatient. You need to take note of that if you don't want to suffer from it in the future."

Wu Jia had an embarrassed look on her face.

Liu Wenyan then took out a case and opened it to reveal a necklace inside. He smiled and said, "This is for you. I don't have anything good on me. Keep this as a momento. I got this from my teacher back then. Now, I'm passing it to you..."

Not far away, Chen Yong's eyes flickered when he heard that. He looked at Hong Tan and saw that Hong Tan's gaze was fixed on the necklace.

Liu Wenyan smiled, "It's somewhat ugly. My teacher, your great grandteacher, did not have a good fashion sense. Don't mind it. Just keep it as a momento. If one day you find that you don't like it, don't throw it away. Just return it to me."

"Martial granduncle..." Wu Jia looked at Chen Yong, who looked at Liu Wenyan with a frown.

Liu Wenyan asked, "What? Do you have an issue with this?"

"I wouldn't dare." Chen Yong solemnly said, "Martial Uncle, this is something you received from grandteacher. It is too valuable. Jia is too clumsy. She might lose it accidentally. We don't want that to happen..."

"Nonsense."

Liu Wenyan smiled, "Girl, take it. Don't lose it and prove your teacher right."

Wu Jia looked at Chen Yong again. After a short silence, Chen Yong nodded, "Accept it. Thank your martial granduncle."

"Thanks, Martial Granduncle." Wu Jia accepted the necklace cheerily.

Liu Wenyan said, "Put it on."

Wu Jia said nothing and put the necklace on.

Liu Wenyan smiled, "You look good with it. Looks like this necklace is more suited for women. Your great grandteacher's fashion sense is truly...unique. He actually gave me something like this. Sigh. Treat the necklace well."

"Yeah."

Wu Jia nodded. Not far away, Bai Feng was smiling as he witnessed that exchange. When he saw Su Yu looking at the necklace, he gave Su Yu a kick and said, "Stop looking at your senior sister's chest. Be careful lest your martial uncle teaches you a lesson."

Su Yu was speechless. He was looking at the necklace, not her chest. His teacher had such a dirty mind.

He had a feeling that the necklace wasn't a simple item. When it was first taken out, his grandteacher's expression had changed completely.

Seemingly having read Su Yu's mind, Bai Feng said with voice transmission, "Stop looking at your senior sister with envy. Your Teacher Liu gave Jia that to protect herself. Inside the necklace is a defensive Sunmoon character. Even a regular Mountainsea will have trouble breakthrough through that defense. Don't let Jia know. Your Teacher Liu was the one who had asked me to extract that character from his sea of willpower. He has been feeling guilty for dragging everyone into this mess. Sigh."

His emotions were complicated. Was Liu Wenyan to blame for what happened back then? Not really.

For the sake of the fifth principal and the multiple character faction, Liu Wenyan had to shoulder a heavy burden. As a result, his family was ruined and he was left alone. Bai Feng's emotions would turn complicated whenever he thought of Liu Wenyan's fate.

"Don't think about it since it wasn't given to you. It's not like this thing will be helpful for you. You would probably go and provoke a Sunmoon right after receiving this necklace. You would only get yourself killed."

Su Yu was speechless. Why couldn't his teacher trust him more?

He was definitely not that kind of person! Nowadays, he was keeping a low profile!

They continued chatting for a short while before Liu Wenyan said, "Let us stop here. It's time for us to bid farewell. I'll see you guys again."

After saying that, he waved in a certain direction. A few soldiers from the Martial Dragon Guards rushed over. Zheng Yuming's escort was the Great Xia Army while Liu Wenyan and Bai Feng were being escorted by the Martial Dragon Guards.

"Commander Zhang..."

Liu Wenyan smiled at the leader of the soldiers and said, "We'll have to be troubling you for the trip."

"Lord Liu is too polite." Commander Zhang hurriedly said. Not far away, Zhao Mingyue questioned, "My elder brother only sent you guys here?"

"Young miss..."

Zhao Mingyue frowned and said, "Do not address me that way. I am not from the Xia Family."

Her elder brother was a deputy general in the Martial Dragon Guards but the army belonged to the Xia Family, not her Zhao Family.

Zhao Mingyue repeated herself, "Only you guys are here? Is my elder brother not escorting them himself?"

Commander Zhang said, "Young Miss, the general said that we are enough. We will definitely protect Lord Liu well. The Martial Dragon Guards represent Great Xia. With us around, nobody would dare to create trouble. That would be tantamount to a declaration of war with Great Xia."

Liu Wenyan said, "This is enough for us. Mingyue, don't make things difficult for them. Let's set off."

Zhao Mingyue was unhappy. She offered, "Why don't you let me escort you."

"It's fine." Liu Wenyan smiled, "It's not that dangerous. I actually hope that someone would actually attack me when I'm under protection of the Martial Dragon Guards. At that time, even the Xia Family would lose their temper. Do they think that Great Xia King is really retired?"

Wu Yuehua said, "You're still relying on the Xia Family? Forget it. I can escort you instead."

"No. There's no need for that." Liu Wenyan hurriedly refused, "I don't need any of you to escort me."

Beside him, Bai Feng was extremely envious. He gave Su Yu another kick.

With an innocent expression, Su Yu asked, "Teacher, do you want me to escort you to the Allheaven Battlefield?"

Was his teacher being jealous?

What was this?

But Bai Feng immediately chided him, "Stop messing around! You? Escorting me to the Allheaven Battlefield? What is your cultivation? Go back to the academy and focus on your cultivation. Don't say something this stupid in the future!"

Despite what he said, he still raised his head with a smug smile. His martial uncle should stop showing off. He, Bai Feng, had also received an offer to escort him to the battlefield. He had merely rejected the offer.

Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Not far away, Hong Tan was also completely speechless. He had nothing to say about this student of his.

Liu Wenyan didn't even deign to react to that. After bidding his farewell to all of them, he stepped back and said, "Goodbye, everyone. I will try my best to stay alive. Wait for me. If I fail to return, do what you want with the multiple character faction. If you need to, just disband it."

The atmosphere turned sorrowful the moment those words were said.

Wu Yuahua scolded, "When are you going to learn to shut your mouth?"

Liu Wenyan appeared rather carefree. He laughed and said, "I only said that just in case. How would I die so easily? A lot of people have been waiting to see me die. But look at me. I'm still here."

After a carefree laugh, he loudly said, "I will be heading toward the Allheaven Battlefield. If you have any issue with the multiple character faction, come after me! My teacher's characters and his secrets are all on me! If I die, the multiple character faction will naturally stop existing. And as long as I remain alive, the multiple character faction will continue existing!"

"Let's go!"

With a hearty laugh, he started walking away. Bai Feng smiled and followed behind him. Not far ahead of him, a blurry silhouette of an old man appeared. With tears in his eyes, Liu Wenyan nodded at the old man. The old man smiled before vanishing into thin air.

Apart from Liu Wenyan, that old man was the sole survivor of the Liu Family. He was Liu Wenyan's first uncle. This first uncle was scouting ahead for him.

All around them, one figure after another appeared with a flicker.

Marquis Xia, Wan Tiansheng, Administrator Hu, Principal Zheng, Director Ji...

Many people had appeared to see him off.

Liu Wenyan was leaving.

He was heading toward the Allheaven Battlefield.

This nobody whose influence could somehow be felt across Great Xia and even the entirety of Human Realm was finally heading toward the Allheaven Battlefield.

Yes. He was a nobody. He was weak. Yet he had left an impact on numerous people. This might be a journey fraught with danger. This might be a trip he would not return from.

Su Yu also watched on as his two teachers departed. These were the two individuals who had left the greatest impact on him after he started cultivating. Today, both of them would head toward an uncertain future. Danger might come for them before they could even reach the Allheaven Battlefield.

"Father...and teachers..."

As of today, most of the people he truly cared about would be at the Allheaven Battlefield.

Allheaven Battlefield, a place he had only heard about before. A place he had never been to.
