After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 574 Abandoning One's Homeland

"Senior Brother Shen..."

Despite having prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat when she saw Shen Xu.

Wuyou ran to her side and pulled her in front of Shen Xu.

"Qiqi, it's been a long time." Shen Xu said with a smile. It had been more than half a year since he last saw Yang Qiqi.

"When did you wake up, Senior Brother?"

"Did Qiqi also go to Baihua City half a month ago?"

"Yes! Sister Bai said you were unconscious, so I wanted to go and see you. Senior brother really did something amazing!" Yang Qiqi wiped away her tears.

"I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? See, nothing's wrong at all."

"That's good." Yang Qiqi smiled through her tears.

"Why did you come back this time, senior brother?"

"In order to take Wang Bo away and to avoid injury and worry."

"Senior brother, are you going to take them to the Sword Alliance? I think the Green Bamboo Mountains are quite nice, why take them away!" Yang Qiqi couldn't help but feel anxious.

"It's not the Sword Alliance, but outside the Xingchuan Domain."

"Beyond the Chuan Region..."

"Why!!"

“I’ve found a better place outside, so it’s time for me to leave.”

"better!

What's wrong with the Sword Alliance?

Is your status in the Sword Alliance not high?

And so many older sisters are surrounding you.

They all like you so much!

Why are you leaving?

"Don't be hurt, take Wuyou to play somewhere else for a while."

"Okay!" Wu Shang walked in front of Wu You, forcibly pulled away the hand that Wu You was holding from Yang Qi Qi, and led Wu You away from the two of them, who kept turning back to look at him.

"A few years ago, I learned a secret: a few years later, Xingchuan Region would face a great calamity, and Qingzhu Mountain Range would not be spared. So I have been looking for an opportunity to leave Xingchuan Region."

It can be said that I never intended to stay in Xingchuan Domain from the very beginning, and now I have finally gotten the chance to leave Xingchuan Domain.

To be honest, I came to see you today because I wanted to take you away, and of course I will respect your choice.

"Qiqi, would you like to come with me?"

Yang Qiqi shook her head and asked with a sorrowful expression, "Senior brother, are you trying to run away?"

"It is."

“Abandon the land that gave you birth and nurtured you, abandon the friends who care about you, abandon everything you have here.”

“That’s right.” Shen Xu looked at Yang Qiqi.

"Senior brother, you should go!"

I won't go with you. I can't be as heartless and detached as you.

"The Green Bamboo Sword Sect needs me." After saying this, Yang Qiqi turned and left without hesitation.

"Qiqi, do you still remember the story I told you in the outer sect's hall of affairs?" Shen Xu asked loudly.

Yang Qiqi paused for a moment. "Remember... I will leave."

"Here are the gifts I promised to give to you all, Qiqi. I've written the names on each one."

There are two other letters, one of which is for you, and the other you would like me to pass on to Wu Qi.

Finally, may you say goodbye, Wushang and Wuxi.

But Yang Qiqi didn't answer him this time. Instead, she went straight in the direction that Wushang Wuyou had left in.

He never reappeared until he left the Jade Bamboo Forest.

……

Upon returning to the Shen family's courtyard, Shen Xu discovered that there were some additional items in the house.

“These were all given to us by your Uncle Liang and the others. They said they were to keep them as souvenirs. They are all quite practical items, so I accepted them,” Uncle Wang said.

"Yes, it will definitely come in handy after we get there."

"You two pack your things too, it's time for us to go," he said to the two children.

He walked into the main house and looked at the familiar furnishings before him, and suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

He took down the wooden sword hanging on the wall. He had lived here for so long, and in the end, all he could take with him was this sword.

Walking under the privet tree, the branches he had cut off years ago have grown back among the lush leaves.

If possible, what he most wanted to take away was this tree, but he didn't have the ability to do so.

Since the Black Seed fell into silence, his Wood Intent has become weaker and weaker, but the power granted to him by the Black Seed remains.

Placing his palm on the tree trunk, Shen Xu carefully felt the tree's breath and branded it with marks at its core.

"I hope you can survive!" Shen Xu murmured.

"So much stuff? Do you want to move the bed too?" Shen Xu looked at the things the two little ones had brought out and couldn't help but smile wryly.

Most of the decorative items they wanted to take were unimportant ornaments.

“Most of them belong to Wuyou; I don’t have that many things,” Wushang explained.

"You are only allowed to take some important items and some necessary clothing; you can buy everything else."

Why are you taking the bedding?

Wuyou immediately showed a wronged expression.

“Many of these were bought with her own money, so naturally she couldn’t bear to part with them,” Uncle Wang said at this moment.

"I'll try my best to pretend!" Shen Xu said helplessly.

Fortunately, his storage ring was large enough that the space, about ten feet square, was large enough to disassemble their bed and fit inside.

"Uncle Wang, don't you have anything to take with you?"

"I want to take everything from home, but there's no need to take any of it."

"Take my recliner with you! I doubt I'd be comfortable lying on another one like this," Uncle Wang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wuyou seemed to suddenly remember something, moved the small stool that she and Wushang often sat on in front of him, and then looked at him expectantly.

"Alright alright!"

Shen Xu casually put the stool into the ring. Perhaps the ring's previous owner never imagined that her ring would be used to store an ordinary stool.

"Are you carrying so many swords?" Shen Xu looked at Wu Shang, who was carrying two swords wrapped together on his back, and a heavy, bladeless sword hanging at his waist.

"Yes! The two swords behind were given to me by Brother Xu, they have special meaning."

Wuyou patted the wooden dagger he had given her before, which was hanging from her waist.

Shen Xu smiled and then asked, "Is there anything else you've forgotten?"

Both little ones shook their heads.

"Then let's lock the door!"

He had already given the key to Uncle Liang, asking him to take some time to clean the yard for him. As payment, he left some Nourishing Essence Pills for Da Hu.

Although he knew that Yunlong City would inevitably fall, he still held onto a sliver of hope.

"Crack!"

As the gate latch closed, Shen Xu held onto the brass lock for a long time, reluctant to let go.

Uncle Wang, leading the two children, looked at the familiar courtyard and the lush Yunying tree and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Let's go!" Shen Xu turned around and smiled at the group.

The silver-gray shuttle slowly rose into the air, and the two little ones stared intently at the courtyard below through the window with teary eyes, afraid of missing a single second of seeing it.

Once Yunlong City had completely shrunk to a tiny dot in their eyes, Wuyou slowly gestured to Wushang.

"Yes, brother will bring you back." Wu Shang hugged Wu You in his arms.
