The whip that was hooked on Yu Chenming's chin loosened, and Sheng Wu threw the whip beside him.
"You will leave soon. I will no longer be your master."
Hearing this, Yu Chenming's eyelashes twitched, and he looked at her in surprise, "Master, you want to drive this disciple away!"
Sheng Wu was indifferent, "Your heart is not here, there is no point in me keeping you."
“…”
These words made Yu Chenming's heart sink. He opened his lips, but was speechless.
Isn't it true that he was restricted by the system in the past. Once he violated the task, he would be electrocuted. He could only use everyone around him and could not develop feelings for anyone.
At the moment when the second elder injected him with resentment, he had thought that this was also a good thing, as he could be freed and no longer be controlled like a puppet.
Yu Chenming slowly gathered his hands together and clenched his fists. He seemed to be thinking deeply.
He took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, placed his hands on the ground, and bowed to Sheng Wu.
"Disciple, farewell to Master!"
His tone was slow, as if all the struggles had gone through in his mind.
"I thank Master for setting me free and allowing me to live like a human being. I am ashamed to face Master and dare not stay and bother you any longer. From now on, we will part ways."
[Ding! Male protagonist's favorability, 46!]
Yu Chenming remained kneeling on the ground and did not stand up until Sheng Wu responded.
But Sheng Wu just looked at him coldly, the expression in her eyes was hard to read. She suddenly raised her eyes, but did not answer Yu Chenming immediately.
Instead, he looked at the door.
"What about you guys? Do you want to leave too?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Chenming frowned. He turned around suddenly and saw that the remaining disciples had woken up and were standing at the door.
And Sheng Wu had removed the barrier at some point.
Probably, it started from Sheng Wu's words, "You will leave soon, and I will no longer be your master." After all, it is useless for the system to know too much.
"Senior Brother, why are you leaving?" Luo Qi was puzzled, and his pale face, which had just recovered, looked a little ugly.
Although the others didn't say anything, they were also looking at Yu Chenming closely, obviously waiting for his answer.
Yu Chenming looked up at Sheng Wu and saw that she had turned around and sat back on the couch. She was not going to tell him the real reason for his departure, so he pursed his lips.
Turning to look at everyone, the handsome young man's face was filled with determination. "This time, the incident at the Infant Girl Tower almost cost me my life. I'm grateful to all my fellow apprentices for risking their lives to save me, but I don't want to face such a near-death experience again. I want to go out and make my own way. I think I'm unworthy of Master's guidance."
For some reason, seeing that Sheng Wu was not at all moved by his departure, his heart ached.
Especially after this experience, he had a deep doubt: Does Sheng Wu really care about them, his disciples? Or is it just because she cultivates the ruthless way, so she is used to being so cold and ruthless to everyone and is not good at expressing herself?
Upon hearing this, everyone except Sheng Wu frowned, and their first reaction was to not believe what he said.
Luo Ba's face darkened: "Big Brother, do you really think so?!"
Luo Qi was indescribably lost and trembling. "Big Brother, didn't you say that the path to immortality is full of uncertainty, and that the harder the training, the more he values us. And that we can go further in the future? Now you say you're scared, but what was the point of all your harshness and protection towards all of us over the past six months?! And our rescue this time just made you feel like a burden, didn't it?"
Even Hua Lingjiu's eyes were filled with surprise. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Why? Wasn't Yu Chenming planning to conquer the master? Why did he suddenly leave now?
Huai Jin was in the crowd, silently looking at Sheng Wu. What did she say to Yu Chenming in the barrier just now that made Yu Chenming, who had tried every means to win Sheng Wu's favor in his previous life, decide to leave like this?
Or, is this his way of playing hard to get?
Yu Chenming remained silent in the face of the other junior brothers' questioning. He looked at everyone deeply, then stood up from the ground and bowed deeply to everyone.
"I am deeply grateful to all my fellow disciples for risking their lives to save me that day. I will always remember this. However, everyone has their own aspirations. I am no longer interested in this and would like to comprehend other paths."
Yu Chenming lowered his eyes, and in his mind was the glaring scene of everyone saving him that night and their white clothes stained with blood. His eagle eyes couldn't help but tremble, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. After a pause, he continued in a cold voice.
"So, Luoyi apologizes to you here. If you need me when we meet in the future, I will definitely help." Here he still calls himself "Luoyi", obviously still in the name of the eldest brother.
When he stood up and raised his eyes again, the expression in his eyes had been completely concealed, otherwise others would not be able to see the slightest emotion.
"asshole!"
The moment he finished speaking, Luo Qi stepped forward and grabbed Yu Chenming's collar. The young man questioned him harshly with red eyes.
"You think we saved you that day just so you could help us in the future? You're the most hardworking and dedicated of us all! You made us all believe that although Piaomiao Mountain practices the ruthless Dao, we share the same aspirations. And you left us with a simple statement: Everyone has their own aspirations. You left behind the oath we eleven made under the peach forest when we were in Piaomiao Mountain, vowing never to betray each other!"
"Since you wanted to comprehend other ways, why didn't you quit immediately when Master gave you a second chance that night when you became his disciple? You're telling us now that you want to leave. What do you think of the Piaomiao Mountain Immortal Sect? What do you think of the fact that we risked everything to save you that night?"
His trembling and hoarse voice almost shook everyone's eardrums.
It's no wonder he was so excited. At the most innocent and sincere age, these young men who had been together for half a year had experienced a major life-and-death rescue. The strong bond between them was no weaker than that between brothers.
Now Yu Chenming said that everyone has their own aspirations and he wants to practice other ways. To everyone, this sentence is nothing but a betrayal.
Especially since everyone was seriously injured in order to save him and had been lying in bed for half a year when they just woke up. What they heard was not the joy of surviving the disaster, but the heartbreaking words of impending separation.
Who can be calm, and how can one accept it calmly.
When the other young men listened to Luo Qi's words, they felt compassion and anger in their hearts. They didn't say anything, but their eyes were moist, and they also clenched their fists and looked at Yu Chenming with disbelief.
Sheng Wu just watched without saying a word.
