Chapter 139: Farewell!

  Outside the village gate.

  By the side of the road, Zhuo Zhu and Xiao Hu came to see him off. Xiao Yun looked towards the entrance of the stockade and indeed did not see Ye Lan's figure, and could not help but feel a little disappointed.

  "A Lang might be unwell and couldn't come, Xiao brothers, this horse is for you to ride!" Duan Zhu held a majestic sorrel horse in his hand, handing the reins over to Xiao Yun while explaining to Ye Lan.

  Also don't know if Ye Lan was angry with herself, Xiao Yun forced a smile and took over the reins, saying to Zhuo Zhu, "Brother Zhuo Zhu, thank you for taking care of us these days."

  "Shake your head," said Zhu, "The journey is long, be careful on the road. Once you leave Tongtian Mountain, go straight north and you will enter Huangzhou of Xia State in two days."

  "Xiao Da Ge, will you come back?" asked Xiao Hu.

  "It's fate that brought us together!" Xiao Yun nodded with a smile, "You all go back now, no need to see me off!"

  "Safe journey, Xiao brothers!" Zhuo Zhu said.

  "Goodbye, Brother Xiao! I'll miss you!" Little Tiger said reluctantly.

  "We'll meet again!"

  He looked towards the village entrance again, but still didn't see Ye Lan arriving. He couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart, thinking that she probably wouldn't be coming after all. Xiao Yun bid farewell to the two of them, grasped the reins of his horse and turned around, preparing to leave.

  "Xiao Da Ge!"

  Just as Xiao Yun was about to mount his horse, a loud shout came from far behind him. Xiao Yun turned around and looked back, a smile spreading across his face. It's finally here, I thought this little girl was angry with me!

  Ye Lan rushed out of the village entrance, still holding a package in her hand, and hurriedly ran towards Xiao Yun.

  "Xiao Da Ge!"

  Ye Lan was panting slightly, running to Xiao Yun's front, staring at Xiao Yun for a long time, but didn't know what to say.

  "Run!" The pillar pulled Little Tiger and said in a low voice.

  Xiao Hu pouted and said, "I want to send Xiao Da Ge!"

  "You stinky kid, are you really clueless or just pretending to be?! " Zhang Zhu stretched out his hand and slapped Xiao Hu's head with a loud smack, his face completely expressionless.

  "Oh!"

  Xiao Hu's eyes shifted between Xiao Yun and Ye Lan, suddenly enlightened, and he quickly came back to his senses. Without even bidding farewell to Xiao Yun, he was immediately dragged away by Zhuo Zhu.

  They looked at each other in silence, and Ye Lan seemed to have no idea that Xiao Hu had left, but was staring at Xiao Yun, with an unknown feeling in her heart.

  The atmosphere is slightly awkward!

  Xiao Yun saw Xiaohu and the others leave, he wanted to call out to them, but couldn't bring himself to speak. At this time, only he and Yelan were left, and he really felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

  "Alan, I thought you weren't coming!" Xiao Yun broke the awkward atmosphere with a dry laugh.

  Yelan came to her senses, withdrew her gaze from Chen Dashi's face, and hastily handed the package in her hand to Xiao Yun. "Xiao Gege, this is some dry rations I prepared for you, take it with you on the road."

  "Thank you!"

  The package was still a bit warm, and it should be filled with some staple food. Xiao Yun's heart couldn't help but feel moved, looking at Ye Lan with two black eye circles, probably this little girl didn't sleep well last night.

  Ye Lan looked down at her own chest, lost in thought, her hands somewhat awkward, unsure of where to put them. After a while, she finally raised her head to meet Xiao Yun's gaze, "Xiao Gege, do you have to leave? Is it because of what White Grandfather said that made you..."

  Xiao Yun shook her head and interrupted Ye Lan's words, "Don't think nonsense, it has nothing to do with Bai Changlao."

  This little girl is really simple-minded, perhaps in her opinion, Ye Bai mentioned marriage to Xiao Yun, scaring Xiao Yun away, and that's why Xiao Yun was anxious to leave.

  "Why won't you stay then?" Ye Lan bit her lip, her face slightly flushed. "Is it because of Lin Shi Mei?"

  When Xiao Yun was injured and fainted, he kept calling out for Lin Shi Mei. To Ye Lan, that Lin Shi Mei might be Xiao Yun's lover. These days, every time the matter is brought up, Xiao Yun becomes melancholic. She fears touching on some painful memory in Xiao Yun's heart, so she has never asked.

  Now that Xiao Yun is about to leave, she couldn't help but ask, previously heard Ye Bai say that Xiao Yun thought he was too young, but in her opinion, this was not the reason why Xiao Yun didn't want to stay. After all, she was already 16 years old and had long since come of age. Xiao Yun's unwillingness to stay must be because of Lin Shi Mei.

  At this moment, Ye Lan's heart was filled with curiosity and admiration for Lin Shijie, whom she had never met before, but whose name had just been mentioned by Xiao Yun.

  Xiao Yun listened, but forced a bitter smile, "It can also be said that this time, Lin Shi Mei and I suffered together, I was lucky to survive, while she... She fell from the clouds, her fragrance disappeared, and her jade shattered..."

  Ye Lan was stunned. Xiao Yun had never told her about this before, and she would have never thought that the Lin Shimei mentioned by Xiao Yun was actually already dead.

  "The other party is the demon tribe, with a vast force, but this feud cannot be left unavenged. So, Alan, I must leave!" Xiao Yun said seriously to Ye Lan, he believed that Ye Lan should understand his feelings.

  After a long while, Ye Lan nodded, but still felt reluctant in her heart. "Xiao Da Ge, can't you stay for a few more days? Your injury..."

  "My wound has healed quickly, don't worry!" Xiao Yun shook his head.

  It's inevitable that we'll leave eventually, and it's better to leave early than late. Otherwise, this little girl will get deeper into the trouble, and when the time comes, she won't want to leave Tongtian Village either, which would be a pity.

  Ye Lan tightly bit her lip and suddenly fell silent, thinking that today's farewell would make it difficult to see Xiao Yun again, and her heart was filled with inexplicable sorrow.

  With both hands patting Ye Lan's soft shoulders, "Don't be reluctant, later when there is time, Xiao Da Ge will come back to visit you all."

  "Xiao Da Ge!"

  Ye Lan's emotions were hard to control, and she fell into Xiao Yun's arms.

  Xiang Yu's arms were full, Xiao Yun's body stiffened, she wanted to say something, but felt Ye Lan's body slightly trembling, as if suppressing a cry, so she didn't move either, gently patting Ye Lan's fragrant shoulder, quietly waiting for her to vent her emotions.

  Fortunately, no one around saw it, otherwise it would be misunderstood. Xiao Yun sighed bitterly in his heart, and Ye Lan's move made him uncomfortable too. Although it was only a short month, during these few days at Tongtian Village, he had a great time. Living alone here, away from the world, without any killings or intrigues, it was simply a paradise.

  It took a long time for Ye Lan to control her emotions. Although she was deeply infatuated with Xiao Yun's broad chest, as a woman, she still had a special reserve. Realizing her loss of composure, she quickly struggled out of Xiao Yun's arms.

  On her rosy face, tears still lingered, "Xiao Da Ge, wait for me to grow up a bit more, I'll go find you!"

  Xiao Yun listened and said, "The vast and mysterious continent of Leixiu is not an easy place to find someone to talk to. The Jianghu world is full of dangers, you must cultivate diligently if you want to survive. I promise you, I will definitely come back again in the future."

  Ye Lan nodded very seriously, squeezing out a forced smile. "Brother Xiao will soon be famous in the Leixiu Continent, and when that time comes, I think it won't be difficult for me to find Brother Xiao, right?"

  "Huh?" Xiao Yun wiped his sweat and immediately laughed, "Then Big Brother Xiao will borrow your auspicious words!"

  "Xiao Gege is kind and righteous, I believe you can definitely do it." From Ye Lan's serious eyes, it seems like she has even more confidence than Xiao Yun.

  "Halfway up the mountain, I left some scores for you to take a look when you have time. The demon pill is also left for you, consider it a gift from Big Brother Xiao. When we meet again in the future, don't let Big Brother Xiao down!" said Xiao Yun Dao.

  That night, after cooking and eating the demon eagle, Ye Changqing handed over the demon eagle's internal elixir to Xiao Yun. After all, it was Xiao Yun who killed the demon eagle, and they were already satisfied with being able to drink a bowl of soup and eat a piece of meat. Letting them have the internal elixir was simply impossible.

  It has to be said that the people in the mountain village are very simple-minded, if it were any other sect, let alone an inner elixir, they probably wouldn't even give Xiao Yun a sip of soup.

  When leaving, Xiao Yun had expected that Ye Lan might not come to see him off, so he left a letter and left the inner elixir of the demon eagle and some scores in the Half Mountain Wood House, as a small thank you to this kind girl.

  Ye Lan nodded slightly, took out a delicate short dagger from her waist, "Xiao Gege, this Flowing Fire Blade was forged by Uncle Yan for me when I was born. Now I'm giving it to you, hoping you'll have a safe journey."

  "Thank you, I'm leaving!" Xiao Yun hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it, because he knew that whatever Ye Lan took out would never be taken back.

  "Xiao Gege, be careful on the road!" Realizing that Xiao Yun was about to leave, Ye Lan became excited again, "Qiao Er, you must take good care of Xiao Gege."
