Listening to the deafening questioning word by word, Yu Chen Mingyu's eyelashes trembled, and his face remained silent with indifference for a few seconds. After the suppressed pain and guilt in his heart subsided, he dared to raise his eyes and look at them with a normal expression.

Thousands of words are reduced to just one sentence.

"I'm sorry for you. From now on, I will no longer be your senior brother. The road ahead is long, take care!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Sheng Wu with complicated eyes.

He took off the space ring given to him by Sheng Wu and placed it on the desk.

"Here are all the things that Master gave to me. They are returned to their original owners." After a pause, he straightened his back again and bowed to Sheng Wu from a distance.

"Saintly Immortal Venerable...farewell."

This time, he no longer called Sheng Wu "Master".

After saying that, he turned and walked out the door. The young man's back, with bloodstains from the whip, looked particularly desolate and sad. Even though the morning light outside was bright, it shone on him with a sense of loneliness and determination.

This farewell seems to be a farewell forever.

"Big Brother..."

And Luo Qi had to take a step forward to catch up.

But Sheng Wu said, "Let him go."

Suddenly, Luo Qi stopped.

"...Master." Luo Qi looked at Sheng Wu in surprise but with a hint of unwillingness.

But Sheng Wu just raised her eyelashes coldly and looked at Yu Chenming's leaving back. There was no emotion on her beautiful face. She didn't say much, just one sentence.

"From now on, you will still maintain your current ranking, but there will no longer be any senior disciples in Piaomiao Mountain."

After saying that, she walked back to the inner side of the hut, leaving the other disciples with a look of confusion on their faces.

at last.

Hua Lingjiu couldn't help it and quietly left the room.

Then, following the system's instructions, he quickly chased after Yu Chenming.

"Big Brother! Big Brother!"

Yu Chenming, who had already walked several hundred meters, paused. He looked back and saw Hua Lingjiu jogging towards him.

The scene suddenly appeared in his mind where Hua Lingjiu stood in front of him, risking her blood to save her own life, and was even hit by a palm from the second elder, and then spitting blood in front of him.

There was more doting and gentleness in his eyes as he looked at Hua Lingjiu than before. He no longer had the fatigue of the system forcing him to conquer Sheng Wu and the jealousy he felt from competing with Hua Lingjiu. All that was left was a sense of relief and lightness.

His tone was much more relaxed, "I'm no longer your senior brother."

Hearing this, Hua Lingjiu, who trotted up to him with a slightly flushed face, frowned.

"I don't believe you really left us because you were afraid of those dangers, Big Brother, you... you really want to leave us, leave Master?!"

In fact, what she wanted to ask more was, do you really not care about the task of conquering Sheng Wu?

Or maybe something unexpected happened, because everything, including the direction of the male protagonist, has seriously deviated from the original plot, making her, an outsider, panic.

Although she didn't say what she wanted to ask, Yu Chenming, who had already guessed that she, like himself, had a system task to conquer Sheng Wu, knew her subconscious meaning. He pursed his lips and looked at her with a trace of imperceptible sympathy.

He just said something cryptic in a deep voice, "Junior sister, the path I took before was not my own, but now I am free, and I just want to live a good life."

After a pause, he raised his hand and touched Hua Lingjiu's head for the first time.

"Master is very powerful. Don't be angry with her. Follow Master and gain experience. Remember what I said: don't be arrogant. There are always people better than you." Since Sheng Wu knew that she had a system, Hua Lingjiu might not escape her sight.

After saying that, he could only look at Hua Lingjiu knowingly, then withdrew his hand.

"Okay, let's go back. See you later...Call me Yu Chenming."

After he finished speaking, Yu Chenming pursed his lips slightly and looked at her earnestly.

Then he turned around and walked out of the mountain without saying a word.

He walked towards his own bright road.

The young man in white clothes stood tall and straight, alone, with his black hair tied up with a silk ribbon. Several peach trees were swaying around him, and their bright red petals were bidding him farewell.

Hua Lingjiu looked at his back, frowning deeply, not knowing what she was thinking about, with a slight redness at the corners of her eyes.

......

While everyone went downstairs to digest the fact that Yu Chenming had left, Sheng Wu was sitting in the thatched hut.

Suddenly a figure came in.

"Sent him away."

Sheng Wu sat on the soft couch, holding a cup in her hand, this time, it was filled with wine.

These words made Hua Lingjiu's eyes move slightly. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at her with such a conflicted look for the first time.

"Um......"

After a long time, she finally spoke.

"He's gone."

This "he" is self-explanatory.

Sheng Wu said coldly, "If you have anything, just ask directly."

After saying that, she opened her red lips slightly and took a sip of the spicy wine.

Hearing this, Hua Lingjiu's eyes moved. She slowly stepped forward and spoke after deep thought.

"Master, did you ever think that we would die that day?"

Sheng Wu didn't even raise her eyes, and said lightly, "If you were going to die, you wouldn't be here now."

Obviously, her answer was that she was absolutely certain that none of them would die.

Hua Lingjiu frowned. Indeed, they all survived, but the thrilling experience of that night seemed to have changed everyone. They became more depressed and no longer as carefree as before.

"Master, I don't understand why you want us to risk our lives for something you could have solved with just one move. You said you wanted us to solve the problems behind Chengye Village, but in the end, you still took action yourself."

This time, Hua Lingjiu was much bolder and looked directly at Sheng Wu, trying to see her emotions.

Sheng Wu put down the cup in his hand, slowly poured a cup and threw it in front of her.

Hua Lingjiu subconsciously reached out to take the flying wine cup, but instead of drinking it directly, he frowned and looked at her.

Sheng Wu slowly lifted her long feathery eyelashes and stared at the little girl. There seemed to be a hint of pity on her cold face.

"You know, this game... is set up for you."

"?!" Hua Lingjiu's pupils suddenly shrank, and the guesses in her mind were instantly disrupted.

"What's the meaning......"
