Chapter Fifty-two: Parting

  "Yiye is ten years old this year, and Xiyue is nine. When Yiye turns eighteen, when your hair grows down to your waist, I'll come to marry you, okay?" As soon as Wu Yiye's words fell.

  "Crack!" A crisp sound, the water cup in Wen Yuxuan's hand was actually pinched to pieces, and a complex expression of nostalgia appeared on her face. The fruit juice inside the cup suddenly splashed out in all directions, spilling onto the surrounding area. As a cultivator, Wen Yuxuan's body was extremely resilient, so her delicate hand was not injured, but her elegant silk clothes were soaked, and the fruit juice had some stickiness to it, causing them to cling together in an unseemly manner.

  "Excuse me, the conversation from last night's rain just reminded me of some other things, and I accidentally broke a tea set. Please don't mind, I'll go change my clothes and come back to chat with you two again." Wen Yutuan hastily bid farewell, her expression somewhat stiff as she smiled at the two of them before standing up and leaving gracefully.

  Wu Yeru saw this situation, pulled Wen Xueyue's face with a blush close to him and asked: "What's wrong with your aunt? Won't it be that some sad things were triggered by my words just now? It doesn't seem quite right."

  "How would I know, just now my aunt also scared me, hmm ~ maybe it's some past events, I didn't hear anyone in our Wen family mention it." Wen Xiyue picked up her water cup and put it to her mouth, saying this while using the opportunity to glance around, discovering that what had just happened here hadn't been noticed by others, only then did she feel at ease.

  Actually, neither of them knew that when Wen Yudan crushed the water cup, Old Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he sat comfortably in his chair, and for a moment, his expression became somewhat unnatural, as if something had touched him. However, he quickly regained his composure and continued to smile while sipping tea.

  "By the way, what I said earlier, what do you think?" Wu Yeyu pulled Wen Xiyue's small hand under the table and asked her in a huddle.

  "What's going on? I don't know." Little Loli heard Wu Ye Yu's words, her small face suddenly turned bright red, her tense expression revealing a hint of shyness, extremely cute.

  "What do you think? Of course, it's about marrying you over to my place. I've already said it, when I turn 18, I'll definitely go to Zhongzhou to find you and bring you back home. Hehe~ What do you think?" Wu Yeru leaned in close to Wen Xiyue, looking at the small red face in front of him, he really wanted to take a bite, but considering they were in public, he held himself back.

  "This, this, hum! You don't know! Who knows, by the time it's too late, my grandfather might have promised me to someone else. If that happens, what can you do?" Wen Xiyue said hesitantly, and then lowered her head, looking somewhat despondent.

  "How can others make decisions about your marriage? I'm asking for your own thoughts, I said that when I was 18 years old, I would go to Zhongzhou to marry you, will you agree?" Wu Yeyu put his hand on Wen Xiyue's chin, lifted her small face up and looked into her eyes seriously.

  "......Well, Xueyue agreed. Actually, she had made up her mind a long time ago to follow Yeyu Gege for this lifetime. She was just afraid that something might go wrong in between. However, since Yeyu Gege asked, she would tell him the truth in her heart. Later on, when it's time, Yeyu Gege must not disappoint her, or else it would be the end of her life when she marries someone else." Xueyue said softly in a voice that only two people could hear, with a firm and serious expression.

  "Haha... Alright! Xi Yue, don't worry, I'll definitely come find you when the time comes! If at that time your grandfather betroths you to someone else, I'll even abduct you if necessary, and won't let anyone go against your wishes!" Wu Ye Yu said with serious eyes, looking straight at Wen Xi Yue.

  "Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough!" The old man, Yu, who was sipping tea in his seat, suddenly choked on the water and burst into a fit of coughing, causing the people around him to ask if he was alright with concern.

  At this time, Wu Yeru was holding the little loli's hand and was about to make a deep confession, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he was interrupted by this burst of sheep-like coughing sounds, causing Wu Yeru to roll his eyes in annoyance.

  "Cough up your sister, cough! Aren't you afraid of coughing out your old lungs? Wipe it off! I'll top your lungs!" Wu Ye Yu cursed with her eyes slanted, looking at Old Yu in the distance. Wen Xue Yue on the side couldn't stop covering her mouth and giggling.

  Next, Wen Yutian, the young lady of the Wen family, did not come back after all. It seemed that her previous words were just an excuse. Xi Yue left early due to concerns about her aunt, and Wu Yeran didn't try to persuade her to stay. Everyone was on their own now, and it wasn't like they would be talking for a while anyway. Moreover, Wen Yutian might have really had something going on, judging from the way she left, which seemed somewhat abnormal.

  Wu Yeru was not affected at all, eating and drinking as usual. After getting drunk and full, he casually left ahead of time. Of course, it's also because no one would care about this little kid at this time. Little kids always have some privileges.

  No one paid attention to what time they dispersed in the evening, only knowing that it was probably because of the hardships during the team's training journey, and the Wen family members had not had a good meal for several months. They didn't finish eating and drinking until very late, and because they were cultivators, their food intake was huge. The servants in the house ran back and forth many times, exhausted, so that most of the servants still looked drowsy now.

  After a night of internal training, Wu Yeru is now refreshed and got up early to practice his fist technique. After nearly two months of continuous tempering, this passive upgrade basic fist technique has also been upgraded to the second level. Wu Yeru feels that the power on his body has increased a lot, and the force in his hands has become more controllable, with a kind of ease and comfort.

  "Whoosh!" After practicing fist techniques for two hours, Wu Yeru's whole body was drenched in sweat. He slowly retracted his stance, exhaled, and went inside to tidy up. The servant had already laid out breakfast in the courtyard, a habit Wu Yeru had developed over the past month or so. The servant who brought the food clearly knew this.

  With the faint mist in the mountains, the early dawn shone through it and illuminated the small courtyard, wrapping it in a golden cloak. The warm sunlight shone on Wu Yueru's body, and a refreshing feeling instantly spread throughout her body. After eating her fill, Wu Yueru stretched her waist and suddenly sprang to the rooftop with one swift movement. She lay down on the spot, half-closing her eyes to enjoy the warmth of the sun, and unknowingly fell asleep.

  It was unknown how long had passed, but when Wu Ye Yu opened his eyes again, he found that Xue Yue was sitting beside him, quietly looking at him with a somewhat sorrowful expression.

  "What's wrong little girl, did someone bother you? Or is it something about your aunt?" Wu Ye Yu asked as he sat up.

  "It's Auntie's business, I don't know what happened yesterday, but this morning Auntie told the family to pack up their things, we're leaving and going back to Zhongzhou."

  "What!?! Going back to Zhongzhou? So soon! Didn't they just arrive yesterday, and now they're leaving already!?!" Wu Yeyu's eyes widened in surprise, saying with some disbelief.

  "Is it true? I don't want to either, but what others say doesn't count." Wen Xiyue said with her head lowered and hugging her knees.

  "Alright." Looking at Xiao Luoli's appearance, Wu Ye also couldn't bear to say anything else, and leaned over to hug her in his arms, carefully comforting her.

  "Don't worry, in a few years, when I launch my own satellite, we can make phone calls and even video chat. " Wu Yeyu patted Wen Xiyue's head, then took out his phone to take pictures of the little loli, "Hehe! Look! Xiyue's face is scrunched up like a little old lady... hey, she even has frown lines!"

  ……

  Parting is hard to bear and can easily evoke emotions, so Wu Ye Yu didn't go see him off.

  "Xi Yue, I won't see you off later, yeah, I'm afraid it'll be too emotional at that time. What if you cry? It'll be hard to end the scene on a good note. Sigh... Fine, it's because I'm afraid I might burst into tears myself. Your brother Ye Yu is a tough guy, a man who sheds blood and sweat but not tears. I have to save face, what if I suddenly break down in front of others? You'll lose face too."

  "Ah~ these are the parting gifts I'm giving you, one is the basic footwork technique, one is the basic breathing exercise, both are the same level of secret techniques as what we practiced before. This bottle contains 100 pellets of low-grade breathing dan, which can block detection by anyone up to three levels higher than yourself. And this bottle contains 10 pellets of mid-grade breathing dan, it's the kind we had before. You must keep them safe and not easily show them to others, did you hear me?"

  "Alright, don't worry Xi Yue, we've already discussed this before. When I turn 18, I'll definitely go to Zhongzhou to find you and bring you back home! Just wait patiently, the scene will be more grand than any other wedding in the world, I promise..."

  ……

  In the afternoon, the slanting sun shone exceptionally bright. Wu Yueren climbed to the highest rock she could reach and gazed far away at the departing team of Wen's family. She remained silent for a long time, tears falling unknowingly, and after wiping her face, it was again filled with tears.

  After a long time, until he could no longer see himself, and then looked up at the sky and let out a long whistle. The voice was slightly childish, but inside it contained some grandeur and helplessness. And in the distance, sitting in the carriage, clinging to Wen Yuhuan's arms and crying, the little loli also seemed to feel something, struggling to get up, looking far away through the window at the towering mountain peaks that pierced the clouds.
