CHAPTER 346: They Are Unqualified [Second Update!]
Wanrenjie and Wei Wuyan fought for half their lives, clashing dozens of times, yet they appreciated each other deeply. Wanrenjie empathized with Wei Wuyan's feelings. Wei Wuyan sought revenge, and Wanrenjie had already decided to help him fulfill that wish.
Being of the same age, Wanrenjie understood Wei Wuyan's intentions well.
Chu Yang was momentarily stunned and said, "Alright." He knew that when Wanrenjie spoke like this, it was essentially a farewell. These three had come to help him, and Chu Yang felt grateful. But it was clear that in front of Zixie Qing, Bu Liqing, and Fengyue, these three were unable to relax.
They were not like Dong Wushang and the others. Although Dong Wushang and his companions had a relatively high cultivation level, they were still young. However, Wanrenjie and the others were older and found it hard to lower their stature. They also felt too embarrassed to ask anything, leading to an awkward situation over time, prompting them to want to leave.
"However, if the three older brothers ever have the time, please remember to come and see your little brother," Chu Yang said earnestly.
"That's for sure," Wanrenjie said, his eyes revealing deep emotions as he solemnly stated, "Brother... if you are well, perhaps we may not see each other again in our lifetime... But if you are in trouble, we brothers will risk our lives to be by your side!"
He noticed the worry in Chu Yang's eyes, patted his shoulder, and smiled, "We are all old slippery eels in the martial arts world. You don’t need to worry about us. If we only think about preserving our lives, even someone like Bu Zhizun would find it difficult to track us down. Hahaha..."
Chu Yang forced a smile, took out four incomplete versions of the ninefold pill from his pocket, handed them over, and whispered, "If you suffer any life-threatening injuries, take this... And save one for Wei Wuyan."
Wanrenjie looked at him deeply, a hint of redness in his eyes, but quickly turned his head away, chuckling, "In that case, I'll accept it!"
He extended his arms and hugged Chu Yang tightly, patting his back, "Fourth Brother, take care!"
Then, Cheng Duying stepped forward and smiled slightly, "Fourth Brother." He turned to leave but seemed to want to say something. At the moment he was about to speak, his heart ached, and he couldn't get the words out, so he simply turned and walked away.
Bu Liqing also embraced Chu Yang tightly, saying, "Fourth Brother, what the big brother said is exactly what I wanted to say!"
Chu Yang was taken aback, feeling a sudden pang in his heart.
……
"Brother... if you are well, perhaps we may not see each other again in our lifetime... But if you are in trouble, we brothers will risk our lives to be by your side!"
……
The three made a special farewell to Chu Le'er. Wanrenjie gently stroked her hair but remained silent for a long time, wanting to say something yet holding back. Finally, he sighed deeply and softly said, "Le'er, you must be happy..."
Chu Le'er's eyes turned red, and tears fell.
Wanrenjie looked at her affectionately, wiped away her tears, and chuckled, though his voice trembled.
He wanted to say: If I had a great-granddaughter like you... and also to express that Le'er, you made me experience true familial love, reminding me of past joys... I'm really grateful to you...
But in the end, he said nothing.
"Everyone, today the winds are cold and the waters are chilly. In the future, the mountains will be high and the waters long. In the martial arts world, if fate allows, we shall meet again! The three brothers take their leave now!"
Wanrenjie bowed deeply to everyone and turned to leave.
The three figures walked further away, never looking back. Chu Yang watched them leave, turning a corner and disappearing. He suddenly felt that his life had reached a dividing line.
At this point, it separated his current self from his self three days ago!
A pause!
"There are always separations in life," Zixie Qing noticed the disappointment in his heart and said, "In fact, their departure is a good thing. These three have relatively low cultivation levels. Moreover, their meridians have nearly solidified, leaving little room for improvement. If they were to follow you, one day they would inevitably be implicated and lose their lives! With them gone, you should be happy for them."
