"Well, it's not that I can't tell you..." The Snow Fairy furrowed her brows and said with a heavy heart, "But the enemy is incredibly powerful. Don't act rashly until you have the strength to fight back..."
As the sky began to darken, the Snow Fairy and Hai Bo called upon all the experts sent from the sect, leading the two hundred and ninety-five reluctant children out of the Chu Family Courtyard.
Each child carried a large bag of belongings, and each item was something they couldn’t bear to part with. In the end, the two had no choice but to use several spatial rings to store these items.
For the more than two hundred children, Chu Yang gave each one a spatial ring, but they currently had no cultivation level to open them.
As they left, Chu Yang, Tie Butian, Madam Mei, Hu Yan Ao Bo, Cat Nini, and others gathered at the entrance to send them off.
At the moment when the two hundred and ninety-five children stepped out of the door, someone suddenly shouted, and all two hundred and ninety-five turned around at the same time, facing Chu Yang and the others, and knelt down in unison!
There was no time to stop them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three synchronized sounds of heads knocking on the ground echoed.
As the children bowed, one hand tightly clutched the heavenly soldier token hanging around their necks, their expressions filled with sincerity.
This scene shook everyone present, whether they were from the Chu Family or the two major sects.
The Snow Fairy and Hai Bo stared in shock, their eyes wide.
Chu Yang felt his eyes suddenly heat up, nearly bringing him to tears. He instinctively stepped forward and shouted, "Kids, brothers, sisters, have a safe journey and take care of yourselves!"
"No one is allowed to cry! Children leaving from here are not allowed to shed tears! You can bleed, you can sweat, but you must not cry!"
Once these words were spoken, all the children who were sobbing immediately held their breath and suppressed their emotions, staring wide-eyed at Chu Yang, listening to his final admonition.
Perhaps for a long time to come, this would be the last time they heard Brother Chu Yang's voice...
I must obey! I must obey!
"Remember! Children who leave the Chu Family Courtyard are stronger than anyone else! Princes and princesses, geniuses and prodigies, are not as good as you! So, from now on, no one is allowed to lower their heads! At any time and in any place, you must hold your heads high!"
"No matter where you are! Always remember that you are children of the Chu Family, and you are not allowed to turn on each other!" Chu Yang shouted hoarsely. "Remember, you are all heavenly soldiers and generals!"
"We will wait for you to return!" Chu Yang shouted. Then he waved his hand, "Go!"
He turned around first, not looking back as he entered the door, urging everyone else to follow.
With a loud "bang," the door to the Chu Family Courtyard closed tightly!
The two hundred and ninety-five children bit their lips tightly, forcing back their tears. I will not cry. Brother Chu Yang said that children leaving the Chu Family Courtyard are not allowed to cry.
But their eyes were already blurry, and they could see nothing clearly.
The door was tightly shut.
This place, which had given them the best of everything in their lives, finally closed its doors.
I will not forget this place; I will never forget.
One day I will return. I will return and open the doors of the Chu Family Courtyard to the whole world!
All the children engraved their vows in their hearts, a vow they would never regret in this life.
Under the repeated urging and comfort of the Snow Fairy and Hai Bo, the children slowly stood up, puffed out their chests, lifted their heads, and marched forward.
Brother Chu Yang said we are not inferior to anyone!
We must hold our heads high and no longer bow to anyone!
As the procession slowly moved away, some children occasionally turned back to look; within the line, there were faint sobbing sounds, followed by another trembling childish voice scolding, "No crying! Brother Chu Yang said no crying! Children leaving the Chu Family Courtyard can bleed, can sweat, but must not shed tears! No one is allowed to cry!"
