Chapter 55 Leaving

The next morning, Jiang Xianchuan came to Li Lingyu's room as usual, preparing to change his bandages. When he removed the bandage and saw that the already shocking wound had become even more serious, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"What's wrong with you? My injuries have almost healed, but yours hasn't improved at all." Jiang Xianchuan said with a frown, his tone revealing a hint of anxiety and confusion.

Li Lingyu shook his head slightly. He did not answer Jiang Xianchuan's question. Instead, he lowered his head silently and looked at Jiang Xianchuan who was treating his wounds.

Jiang Xianchuan was busy with an anxious look on his face, with beads of sweat even oozing out of his forehead. Seeing Jiang Xianchuan like this, Li Lingyu's mouth corners unconsciously curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Forget it, in that case, I'll take you to see Sister Pianyue again." Jiang Xianchuan said as he re-bandaged Li Lingyu's wound.

The two of them soon arrived at Lin Pianyue's clinic. After carefully checking Li Lingyu's wound, Lin Pianyue frowned slightly, looked at him thoughtfully, and then sighed softly: "Brother, to be honest, the healing of his wound is really strange. Even I have never encountered such a situation before. I, your sister, can't do anything for the time being." Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan's face flashed with disappointment, while Li Lingyu on the side remained very calm.

"Okay, then thank you very much, Sister Pianyue." Jiang Xianchuan nodded helplessly and took Li Lingyu out of the clinic. However, not long after they walked out of the clinic, they ran into Shi Yi who was angry.

"Shi Yi, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?" Jiang Xianchuan asked curiously.

"I'm so pissed off! Just now, I heard someone gossiping and saying bad things about you two! Humph, you have done so much for our camp, working hard and doing your best. And what's the result? Not only did those heartless guys not appreciate it, they even blamed you! What's even worse is that someone even had the audacity to go to Gu Huaishan and ask him to let Ling Yu leave the camp! It's simply too abominable!" Shi Yi was so angry that his face turned red.

"And then? Did you just start arguing with them?" Jiang Xianchuan asked with a frown.

"Of course! How could I bear this? They are going too far in slandering you like this!" Shi Yi replied indignantly, his chest heaving violently with anger.

"Oh, forget it, forget it. You, don't bother with them. It's other people's business what they say. It's enough for us to have a clear conscience." Jiang Xianchuan patted Shi Yi's shoulder and comforted him softly.

However, he knew very well in his heart that since the fierce battle with Brother Wang that day, the attitude of the people in the camp towards Li Lingyu had changed significantly.

Especially after everyone witnessed Li Lingyu's fierce and brutal fighting skills, they began to feel concerned and worried.

At first, these discussions were limited to private whispers, but as time went on, the situation became worse and worse, and even developed into public accusations.

Moreover, even Jiang Xianchuan himself was implicated because of his close relationship with Li Lingyu.

Li Lingyu stood quietly by the side without saying a word, with his head slightly lowered, as if he was lost in deep thought.

Afterwards, they returned home together. Li Lingyu pursed his lips lightly, then raised his head, looked at Jiang Xianchuan firmly, and said slowly: "I need to go out for something." After that, without waiting for Jiang Xianchuan to respond, he turned and left.

Li Lingyu hurriedly arrived at a remote corner, where a figure was quietly waiting for him - it was Gu Huaishan.

Seeing Li Lingyu appear, Gu Huaishan smiled and raised his hand to signal, "I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to be here."

The two men looked at each other and saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes. After a moment's silence, Gu Huaishan took the lead in breaking the deadlock and said softly: "I believe you have heard about the rumors in the camp recently." Li Lingyu nodded silently, indicating that he already knew about this.

Gu Huaishan sighed helplessly, and then said: "This matter really gives me a headache! More than one or two members have come to me and strongly demanded that you be expelled from the camp. To be honest, I am caught in the middle and I am also in a dilemma..."

Having said this, he paused, glanced at Li Lingyu, and continued: "But don't worry, your contribution to our camp is obvious to everyone. No matter what others say, I will never make the decision to drive you away easily. After all, without your previous help, our camp would probably not have developed to the scale it is today."

However, to Gu Huaishan's surprise, Li Lingyu shook his head without hesitation and said firmly: "No, I have decided to leave."

This answer obviously shocked Gu Huaishan. He widened his eyes and asked anxiously, "Why? Things are not irreversible yet, why are you so determined?"

Li Lingyu took a deep breath and explained slowly: "Because I don't want Chuanchuan to be affected and hurt by these rumors. He is right, I can't let her bear the pressure with me." Hearing this, Gu Huaishan couldn't help but fall silent, secretly admiring Li Lingyu's deep affection for Jiang Xianchuan.

After a while, Gu Huaishan spoke again and advised: "How about this, don't rush to make a decision, give me some time, I will definitely try my best to handle this matter properly and eliminate everyone's misunderstanding and prejudice against you. Believe me, I can do it!"

However, in the face of Gu Huaishan's kindness, Li Lingyu simply responded calmly: "No need." As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly stood up, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and his movements were elegant and neat.

Then, he turned around without hesitation, without even turning his head, and walked away resolutely.

The slender figure quickly disappeared into the distance, leaving Gu Huaishan standing alone, staring blankly in the direction he had left, unable to take his gaze away for a long time.

At the same time, after parting with Gu Huaishan, Li Lingyu did not choose to go home. He just left without any nostalgia, as if everything behind him had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Jiang Xianchuan, who had been anxiously waiting for Li Lingyu to return in the house, had been waiting for a long time. Time passed, but Li Lingyu still did not show up. This situation made Jiang Xianchuan feel a little ominous, and he began to feel uneasy.

Finally, Jiang Xianchuan, unable to suppress his worries, decided to go out to look for Li Lingyu. He walked quickly to the door and happened to meet Shi Yi.

Jiang Xianchuan quickly asked, "Shi Yi, have you seen Yu Bao? He has been out for a long time and hasn't come back yet."

When Shi Yi heard this, he was stunned at first, then shook his head and replied, "No." Hearing this answer, Jiang Xianchuan felt more uneasy.

There was no time to lose, Jiang Xianchuan acted promptly and took Shi Yi to search for Li Lingyu throughout the camp.

They searched every possible corner carefully, but to their disappointment, after a hard search, they still could not find any trace of Li Lingyu.

"Where on earth did he go?" Jiang Xianchuan frowned and muttered to himself. He was extremely anxious at the moment, and all kinds of bad thoughts kept flashing through his mind.

"Do you know where Li Lingyu went?" Jiang Xianchuan came to the gate with an anxious look on his face, and asked the person on duty at the gate today with a slightly trembling voice.

The officer on duty looked up at Jiang Xianchuan and answered nonchalantly, "Yes, he left the camp, didn't he? In my opinion, he was chased out."

These words were like a bolt of lightning from the blue, striking Jiang Xianchuan's heart. In an instant, he felt a buzzing in his head, and everything went blank.

Leaving the camp? How is that possible? Just now? Jiang Xianchuan remembered that not long ago, Li Lingyu told him that he had something to deal with. Could it be that he had already planned to leave at that time?

At this time, Shi Yi couldn't stand it anymore, and rolled his eyes at the person on duty, saying unhappily: "You are the one who will be kicked out of the camp! If you can't speak, don't speak!" Then he turned around, looked at Jiang Xianchuan tenderly, and whispered to comfort him: "Don't worry, maybe there is something urgent that requires him to go out, let's go find Gu Huaishan and ask."

Jiang Xianchuan nodded, and walked hurriedly with Shi Yi towards where Gu Huaishan was. Along the way, Jiang Xianchuan's heart was in his throat, and he kept praying that Li Lingyu had something urgent to do and had to leave the camp immediately.

After finally finding Gu Huaishan, Jiang Xianchuan couldn't wait to ask, "Is Li Lingyu out on a mission?"

Gu Huaishan looked at the two anxious people in front of him, shook his head gently, and slowly told them what had just happened.

After hearing what Gu Huaishan said, Jiang Xianchuan's mood instantly fell to the bottom. He widened his eyes and looked into the distance in disbelief, his heart filled with anger and sadness. What a Li Lingyu, after being together for so long, he just left without a word, without even a trace of nostalgia.

"No, I absolutely cannot just sit there and wait for death, I must go find him immediately!" Jiang Xianchuan said anxiously, and before he finished speaking he raised his legs to leave.

At this moment, Shi Yi rushed forward, grabbed Jiang Xianchuan's sleeve tightly, and shouted: "Calm down for a moment! We have to find out which direction he left in, right? Otherwise, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to keep looking for him blindly!"

When Jiang Xianchuan heard this, his body shuddered violently, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he woke up instantly.

Indeed, if he didn't first figure out the direction Li Lingyu left, and he rushed around like a headless fly, he would not only fail to find anyone, but would also get lost in this vast wilderness. Thinking of this, he slowly retracted his steps, stood where he was, his eyes confused and helpless.

After calming down for a while, the two decided to act separately and go out to ask passers-by around them about the specific location where Li Lingyu left.

After some effort, they finally got some general clues from a kind-hearted person.

Based on this information, Jiang Xianchuan quickly determined the possible route, and turned back to his residence without hesitation, picked up the weapon he regarded as his life, and prepared to embark on the journey to find Li Lingyu.

However, when he was about to leave, Shi Yi stood in front of him again and said firmly: "Wait, I will follow you wherever you go this time!"

Jiang Xianchuan frowned and said with difficulty: "No, you have to stay and guard the camp. Our journey is unpredictable. If we encounter any danger and cannot come back, at least we have a place to stay. If you go with me, then when we come back, we won't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

After hearing what Jiang Xianchuan said, Shi Yi still felt unwilling, but seeing his determined expression and unquestionable tone, she finally chose to compromise. She bit her lip and whispered, "Okay... but you must be careful and come back safely as soon as possible!"
