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

Chapter 573 Farewell

The next morning, Shen Xu bought some gifts from the shops on the street and visited the surrounding neighbors with Wu Shang and Wu You.

Uncle Liang's family was the last one. Shen Xu knew that as an ordinary family, they had no power to resist in the blood tide, but there was nothing he could do.

"Xiao Xu, are you really going to take Uncle Wang away?" Uncle Liang asked with some reluctance.

"There's no other way, the place I'm going to is too far away, and it's very inconvenient to come back."

"Sigh! It's good that you left. Yunlong City really isn't a good place."

"What happened?" Shen Xu asked, frowning.

"It's nothing, it's just that more and more monsters in the mountains are going berserk, injuring a lot of people. I'm very worried about Da Hu."

"Then let Da Hu stop working at the mine. Things have been a bit unsettled lately."

I heard that there might be a major flood in the Green Bamboo Mountains in a few years. You could have Da Hu dig a burrow at home and prepare enough food; maybe that will help us survive.”

"There is such a thing!"

"It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't!"

"It's better to be prepared, but this must be done quietly, otherwise it might cause panic," Shen Xu instructed.

"Okay! Xiao Xu, you know a lot, I'll listen to you."

It seems that the Blood Fiend Palace has advanced its plans ahead of schedule. He remembered that two years before the Blood Fiend Palace officially invaded Xingchuan Domain, they were experimenting on demonic beasts.

It seems it's time to hand over the location of the Blood Pool in the Green Bamboo Mountains to Yang Qiqi.

"Did you leave because of the flood?" Wuyou asked after they left.

"Don't make wild guesses." Shen Xu smiled and patted Wu You's head.

"Didn't you want to say goodbye to your Seventh Sister? I'll take you there now, but she might not be at the Green Bamboo Sword Sect."

“She’s definitely here. Sister Qiqi came just two days ago,” Wushang said.

"She was just here. What's she doing here?"

“Sister Qiqi always comes to see us when she comes back, and she brings us lots of delicious and fun things.”

"I see." Shen Xu sighed softly.

Both of them were shocked as they watched the flying shuttle grow larger and larger in front of them.

"Brother Xu, what is this?" Wu Shang asked impatiently.

"This is called a flying shuttle, the kind that can fly in the sky, and it's very expensive."

"I borrowed this from someone else. Be careful later, even a single scratch will bankrupt me."

"Can it really fly?" Wuyou asked, flapping her hands.

"It's not that kind of flying! You'll see in a bit." Shen Xu smiled helplessly.

When the shuttle finally came into full view of them, their eyes sparkled.

"So beautiful!" Wushang exclaimed.

Wuyou stepped forward to touch it, but then remembered what Shen Xu had just said and withdrew her hand.

Chi Xiaorou's flying shuttle is entirely transparent, shimmering in the sunlight, and has a smooth surface.

Ripples flow continuously across its surface, and the streamlined hull gives it a unique aesthetic appeal, like a crystal-clear, slender drop of water.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Shen Xu opened the hatch, picked up Wuyou, and put her inside.

To be honest, this was the first time he had actually used the shuttle after borrowing it, and naturally, it was also the first time he had entered its interior.

"Forehead……"

Seeing the girly pink color scheme inside, Shen Xu finally understood why Chi Xiaorou was so reluctant to lend him the shuttle.

"Ahem~, just to clarify, this is borrowed from someone else," Shen Xu explained.

Wuyou cautiously approached one of the pink glass pieces, but the excitement and delight in her eyes were impossible to hide.

Seeing this, Shen Xu couldn't help but smile. "Children are forgetful. Maybe after they get to Green Bamboo City, they'll quickly forget about the Green Bamboo Mountains."

Wu Shang was clearly not very interested in the decorations here. "Brother Xu, why do you always have to know so many girls? I think Sister Qi Qi is just fine..."

“Things aren’t as simple as you think. I only consider you, Sister Qiqi, as my younger sister. And children shouldn’t meddle in adult matters,” Shen Xu interrupted Wu Shang’s words.

"Hold on tight, we'll be there soon." Shen Xu maneuvered the shuttle to slowly ascend into the air.

As the shuttle flew higher and higher, the entire landscape of Yunlong City came into view before the two children. They both leaned against the window, staring blankly at the scene before them.

Seeing Wuyou standing on tiptoe, Wushang immediately picked her up and held her in front of him.

……

"Is this the Green Bamboo Sword Sect?" On Green Bamboo Peak, Wu Shang looked at the scene before him with utter shock.

"When I first came to Qingzhu Peak, I also thought it was very grand, but after seeing more of it, I now feel that Qingzhu Peak is not that big."

A person's perspective changes with their experiences. On this journey, you will see even more awe-inspiring things, and then you will realize how insignificant the Qingzhu Mountains truly are.

"Mm!" Wushang nodded.

Wuyou spread out her hands to him, wanting him to describe just how big they were.

"You can't imagine what you haven't seen; I can't describe even a fraction of what those things truly look like."

"Shen Xu, why did you suddenly come back? And why didn't you tell me you were coming back?" Song Qi flew down from the mountaintop to his side.

"I have some urgent business with Qiqi, so it's rather rushed. Please forgive me, Sect Leader."

"Qiqi is in the Jade Bamboo Forest. I'll take you to find her."

"Thank you for your help, Sect Leader. These two children also want to see Qiqi. I wonder if we could let them go to the Jade Bamboo Forest as well?"

"It's alright, it's not an important place."

"Thank you, Master."

Solomon's seal forest.

Yang Qiqi sat cross-legged in the center of the bamboo forest, her breathing rhythmic with the forest's breath, absorbing wisps of rich, azure energy into her body.

This is a method she learned in the Ancient Forest. Although the Jade Bamboo Forest does not have the conditions for the birth of a spirit, the Cloud-Piercing Bamboo Branch can help her do the same thing.

With the guidance of the patriarch's mist body and the support of the Tianhe Sword Sect's resources, her strength improved rapidly, and she felt that she had already touched the threshold of the Qi Sea Realm.

"Qiqi, someone's here, and it seems to be someone we know." Wuzhu's voice rang in her ears.

“Of course, Master is an acquaintance of mine.” Yang Qiqi said with some helplessness. The Ancestral Master’s mist shadow was good in every way, except that it was too unreliable.

“It’s not just your master who’s here this time,” Wu Zhu said with a hint of amusement.

"Who else?" Yang Qiqi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Your good senior brother!" After saying that, Wuzhu turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

"Senior Brother Shen!" Yang Qiqi's heart trembled.

Then she suddenly realized something and hurriedly ran into the small house next door to tidy herself up.

"Wow!" Wuyou ran around among the jade bamboo, then picked up pretty fallen leaves from the ground.

"It seems Wuyou really likes this place," Song Qi said with a smile.

"Does the sect leader also recognize these two children?"

"Qiqi often tells me about them, but this is the first time I've met them in person." Song Qi smiled kindly.

"Aren't you planning to stay long this time?"

"Yes! I'll leave after seeing Qiqi."

Hearing this, Song Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Shen Xu hadn't accepted the Nourishing Yuan Pills they offered as an apology, and had thought that Shen Xu had come to interrogate him.

"You guys go see Qiqi! I won't go in with you; she probably wants to see you too."
