"Junior brother, you must take good care of Second Senior Sister. And take good care of yourself too. I cannot bear to see either of you get hurt. You must take good care of yourselves while you are out there, and most importantly, no matter what the outcome, you must come back as soon as possible. That is the most important thing. Even if we can't find the materials for refining treasures, it doesn't matter, we can think of other ways. Don't grit your teeth and linger outside, or even try to do something reckless. Your safety is the most important thing."

The eldest sister of Ice and Snow Heart, unusually, spoke at length to give Ye Liang some advice.

Senior Sister Bingxue's words of advice were the most heartwarming and heavenly. Hearing them, Ye Liang's heart softened instantly, and he really wanted to hug her tightly.

But it's really not possible.

That's our senior sister, as beautiful as ice and snow. I'm really afraid that being too rash might hurt our relationship as fellow disciples, make her uncomfortable, and cause us to lose this pure feeling and tacit understanding.

Ye Liang laughed and said casually, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'm terrified of death. How could I possibly take any risks? I'm just going there to scout things out. If there's even the slightest danger, I'll definitely report it to you, Senior Sister, and then we'll go get the refining materials with you, a master like you. With your current level, Senior Sister, there shouldn't be anything you can't accomplish, right?"

Although Ye Liang said that, the eldest sister was still worried that her junior brother wouldn't actually do it. She knew him well; even if he was truly afraid of death, he was a courageous and resolute man who would risk everything for a cause. Otherwise, how could he have become the pillar of support for the three of them?

However, hearing such a guarantee from him always makes one feel a little more at ease.

The eldest sister spoke even more softly to Ye Liang: "Junior brother, don't worry. While you're out searching for materials to refine treasures, my junior sister and I will take good care of the sect, especially these children."

Upon hearing this, Ye Liang immediately replied, "Senior Sister, I have nothing to worry about. You care about those children no less than I do. I really have nothing to worry about. Senior Sister, I'm leaving soon, so I'll go and talk to the children. If I leave for a few days without saying goodbye to them, it feels like something is missing."

"Go ahead. You should. They've all come out and are waiting for you." Senior Sister had already seen them. The children must have heard something, so they all came out at the courtyard gate, their fingers twirling, looking pitifully and longingly at Ye Liang.

"Thank you, senior sister." After thanking his senior sister for the reminder, Ye Liang immediately went over to visit the children and give them some words of advice.

Knowing that Ye Liang would be leaving for a few days, the two little girls, Ye Ke and Ye Le, reached out and clung tightly to Ye Liang's clothes, unwilling to let him go.

Ye Leng and Ye Xing's attitude towards Ye Liang also became much colder.

Perhaps, as children, they felt that this was a betrayal by the adult Ye Liang.

Ye Liang had only been taking care of them for a few days, and they had only just gotten to know each other when Ye Liang was about to leave. The children were still young and didn't understand things very well. They couldn't think straight, so they naturally started having these kinds of wild thoughts.

"I'll be back as soon as possible. My junior sister and Xiao Lu will take good care of you while I'm gone. If you suffer any grievances during this time, keep them to yourselves and tell me properly when I return, okay? I'll be gone for a few days this time, and when I come back, I'll take you all out with me. You all need to be prepared. You are my disciples, so your tasks now are not just reading and writing. Learning immortal techniques and how to fight are also your tasks. When I return, I will arrange to take you outside to fight some not-so-powerful mountain beasts so that you can start cultivating immortality. When you become strong in the future, you can not only protect yourselves, but also protect your master. If anyone bullies our sect, you should fight them until they submit and have to bow their heads and apologize to us!" Ye Liang felt reluctant, but he could only force a smile and pat each of the children's heads to comfort them.

Otherwise, what else can we do?

Does that mean that since everyone is reluctant to leave, they should just do nothing and stay in this sect for the rest of their lives?

That's unrealistic.

People always have to strive for survival; otherwise, if a powerful enemy comes knocking, they'll all be wiped out in one fell swoop.

"You keep your word?" Upon hearing Ye Liang's words, Ye Leng, who was like a big kid, suddenly stopped resenting Ye Liang and no longer felt that he had betrayed him.

It's adorable to see a child so focused.

Ye Liang immediately laughed: "Of course it counts. Last time, I took my junior sister out on a training trip and brought back a deer as a pet. This time, I'm taking my second senior sister with me. Are you all worried that I won't come back? Do you think I don't want my eldest senior sister or my junior sister anymore? Of course, I won't abandon you either. I'll think about you every day while I'm out. You all must think about me too."

After Ye Liang said that, the children all nodded obediently. However, the two little girls were still unwilling to let go and let Ye Liang leave so quickly.

When it was almost time, Ye Liang had no choice but to bring them out with him.

The senior female students were already waiting for them. Senior Han Feng, along with her granddaughter Song Yuxi and a drawn map, was also waiting for him.
