Chapter 43 Departure
The next morning, Yang Yuxi got up early. Thanks to the careful care of the city master's mansion, his injuries had almost recovered.
He walked into his own study, which was much smaller and more cluttered than Yang Sanwang's. Books were scattered all over the place, with "The Latest Nine Yuan Qi Master Biography" casually thrown aside, it was unknown whether he had read it or not.
He kicked away the books that were blocking his way on the floor, walked straight to the desk, piled up things he wouldn't use for a while to one side, picked up paper and pen, and started writing something.
He wrote for a whole day, until the sun set behind the western hills and night fell again. He then threw down his brush, leaned back in his chair, and took a deep breath. Even Yang Lin came to call him to dinner, but was refused by Yang Yuxi. Nobody knew what he was busy with, as Third Master had always disliked studying the most.
Yang Yu Xi stretched and jumped down from the chair, his hands and face were all covered with ink marks, he didn't care about it at all, opened the study door, the "gurgling" sound coming from his stomach made him rush to the kitchen.
Yang Yu Xi didn't know that after he left, Yang San Weng appeared behind him, staring at his back for a long time. Then, Yang San Weng walked into Yang Yu Xi's study room with big strides.
Yang San forgot to take a fright at the sight of the mountainous pile of envelopes on his desk, he pulled out one, unfolded it and Yang Yu Xi's slightly childish handwriting entered his eyes.
After a long while, Yang Sanweng refolded the paper and put it back in the envelope, leaving everything as it was and exited the study.
"Come here for a moment." Yang Sanweng happened to see a servant.
The servant came over at the sound: "What are your orders, sir?"
"Go and find General Yang Lin, I need him to come to my study, I have something to discuss with him."
"Yes, sir."
"Ah, I'm so full!" Yang Yu Xi listened as the big belly returned to his own room, then smiled slyly and looked around cautiously several times, carefully closing all the doors and windows.
After making sure all the doors and windows were closed, Yang Yuxi came to the study, sat down in a chair and laid out the letters she had written one by one. After a while, the entire table was covered with letters.
Yang Yu Xi's expression turned gloomy, he gently stroked the envelope with his fingers, and his eyes gradually reddened.
"Dad, Grandpa Yang Lin, Big Brother, Second Brother..."
"Two Tigers..."
At this moment, he thought a lot, and all the memories of the past eight years flashed back to his mind, from snatching the title of King of Children to being snatched by the King of Children, from Li Buguang to Chen Hu, from Lan Yuexian to Xia Jingqing...
The various things in the desolate valley once again floated before his eyes.
The majesty of the Azure Eyed Beast King, Nan Gong Zui Jue's resolute determination and his unhesitant sacrifice, all flashed through his mind like a painting.
The last thing that appeared in his mind was the moment when Yang San forgot to cut off his arm, and the blood mist made him immediately come back to his senses from his sentimental feelings.
"I must get stronger, I must get stronger!" Yang Yu Xi said firmly, clenching his fists tightly, and even more determined in his heart.
He jumped down from the chair and started packing his luggage. He tried to control himself not to make any noise, he didn't want others to know about his departure, he wanted to slip away quietly.
"Is Third Brother in?" Suddenly came the voice of Eldest Brother Yang Yuwu from outside the door.
Yang Yu Xi quickly stopped what he was doing and pretended to be sleepy as he replied: "Eh... is it big brother?"
"Ah, it's me. Why did you close the door so early?"
"Ah...... Uh...... I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable, so I think I'll go to sleep first." Yang Yu Xi continued to pretend.
"Where are you uncomfortable? Do you want me to find a doctor to take a look?" Yang Yuwu's voice was filled with concern.
"It's okay, don't worry about it, I'll just rest for a while and I'll be fine." Yang Yu Xi hastily said.
"Is everything really okay?"
"Don't worry, big brother."
Yang Youwu was somewhat perplexed, but still said: "Third brother, you rest well, I'll be off first."
"Alright, big brother should get some rest too."
As Yang Yuwu's footsteps faded away, Yang Yuxi let out a sigh of relief and continued to pack her luggage.
"All I have is this little silver, what to do?" Yang Yu Xi felt a bit of a headache, he usually didn't use money, whatever he wanted he would just take by force or steal, but after leaving Yucheng naturally he couldn't use stealing and robbing.
"Got it! Why don't we go get some first?" Yang Yu Xi thought to herself.
He did it, he tiptoed out of the room and returned with a bag of silver a moment later, his face filled with joy, because his luck was really too good, this bag of silver was just placed on the table in Yang San's room without any protection.
Yang Yu Xi found this point a bit strange, but he was too lazy to care about these things, as long as there's money, it's all good!
The money problem was solved, and Yang Yuxi stopped being hesitant. He packed up his luggage, walked to the study, stuffed "The Latest Yuanqi Palm Controller Biography" into his bag, picked up all the letters, and jumped out of the window.
He scurried around the city lord's mansion like a little mouse, putting the letter in front of the corresponding person's door and leaving quickly.
It's strange to say, in the entire castle, Yang Yu Xi didn't meet a single person.
Finally, he put the letter to Yang Sanwang on Yang Sanwang's desk, retreated two steps, knelt down, and knocked his head three times, saying in a low voice: "Father, I am unfilial, farewell for now, if I don't make something of myself, I won't come back!"
He gently closed the door of Yang San's study, and suddenly he had a feeling that he wouldn't meet anyone in the city master's mansion today. So he strolled around the city master's mansion for several laps, looking at each flower and each grass again and again. He lightly stroked the wall, carefully examining each patch of moss under the moonlight.
Tears moistened his eye sockets gradually.
After a long time, he left from the back door. He closed the door and stood still in front of it for a moment, then gritted his teeth and ran away with tears in his eyes.
"I'm leaving, goodbye, my home."
The night of the city in the evening, the gentle breeze blows
Yang Yu Xi one by one checked the names on the envelopes and sent out the letters one by one.
It's also unknown whether it was intentional or coincidental, but Yang Yu Xi would only deliver the top letter in the pile. If he happened to pass by someone else who needed a letter delivered on his way, but that letter was in the middle of the pile, Yang Yu Xi wouldn't take it out and deliver it. Instead, he would rather go through the route again after a while.
Yang Yu Xi just wanted to walk a few more times on the evening city road.
But even so, there is still an end to sending letters.
He stood in front of the door of Lan Yu Yan's house, holding the last letter, his hands tightly grasping the two corners of the envelope, but his heart was hesitant. The lights in Lan Yu Yan's house had not been extinguished yet, and Lan Yu Yan sat alone at the table, her hands supporting her chin, staring blankly through the window at the moon in the sky.
The moonlight was like snow, pouring down on the world of men. Yang Yuxi's entire body was covered in a layer of silver light, making him look somewhat unreal.
Under the night sky, he was alone in hesitation and struggle.
He wanted to send it, but didn't know what he was worried about, perhaps because he still wanted to take another look at Lan Yu.
Finally, he made up his mind and gently placed the envelope in front of the door. The moonlight shone on the envelope, with a hint of coolness and loneliness.
"Hmm..."
Yang Yu Xi took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, then stretched out his right hand, knocked on the door with his fingers, and quickly hid.
Lan Yu Yan opened the door and saw that there was no one outside. She slightly furrowed her brow, and under the moonlight, she spotted a letter on the ground. She picked it up and unfolded it with the moonlight shining down.
"Yu Xi Gege..." As soon as she saw the words, she knew who it was.
Yang Yu Xi hid in a dark place, Lan Yu Yan was reading a letter, he was watching Lan Yu Yan.
"Little Yan, please allow me to call you that one more time, because I'm afraid it's the last time. When you see this letter, I'll have already left Yucheng City and set out alone into the complex world outside. Forgive me for not keeping my promise and not taking you with me, because I am no longer your brother Yu Xiu, and you are no longer my little sister Yan. We've both changed. I once fantasized about leaving Yucheng City with you, taking you wherever you wanted to go, accompanying you in laughter and tears. But now I'm unable to do so. The reason is not just Nangong Cangjie, but more importantly, I caused both my father and Nangong Cangjie to lose a hand. This guilt has weighed on me until I can barely breathe. I don't have the strength to take you with me on this journey. I need to use my experiences to become stronger, so that I'll have the ability to atone for this sin. When the time comes, I'll return and sincerely wish you and Nangong Cangjie happiness. Yang Yu Xiu."
Lan Yu's slender body trembled suddenly, her eyes reddened, and tears flowed slowly down. She raised her head to gaze at the moon in the sky, clasped her hands together on her chest, and devoutly prayed: "Moon God, please bless Brother Yu Xi, let him return soon!"
Yang Yu Xi sniffled beside her, gave Lan Yu Yan a fierce glance, and then turned to leave.
Under the moonlight, Yang Yuxi's tears were like broken pearls, but his mouth corners slightly rose, he knew that he was about to go and embrace a brand new life!
A life created by one's own hands!
He arrived at the city gate, and surprisingly, today's city gate was not closed. Far away, white fog could be seen pouring in from outside.
He walked past the city gate and looked back at the three big characters "Xi Yang City" above the gate, took a deep breath and headed towards the distant mountain road.
Yang Yu Xi did not know that on a small hill beside the city of Yang, Yang San Wang and Yang Lin stood shoulder to shoulder, gazing far away at Yang Yu Xi who was leaving alone, with Yang San Wang's left sleeve fluttering in the wind.
"Master, is this all right? Third Master is only eight years old!" Yang Lin's face was full of worry.
Yang San's face was calm and unruffled, showing no signs of joy or anger. He said, "I had been wandering outside since I was eight years old."
"This..." Yang Lin was silent for a long time before saying, "Master, you are a genius, can the Third Young Master compare to that?"
Yang San asked: "How can you know if you don't try?"
Yang Lin said: "This... what state were you in when you were eight years old?"
Yang San hesitated for a moment before saying: "The superior of He Zhen will enter Wei Mang."
Yang Lin bitterly smiled: "How can Third Young Master compare with this?!"
"There's nothing wrong with comparing, I'm a killer who came out on top, and Yu Xuan has already reached the upper level of Ling Qi without even training, this talent is pretty good too, given time, he might not be far behind me."
"When will the third young master return?" Yang Lin looked at the mountain road, and on the mountain road, a small black dot was slowly moving forward, slow but very determined.
Yang Sanwang also looked towards Yang Yuxi's position and said, "It's hard to say, but he will always come back."
Yes, Father, the child will always come back!
