Li Qingqing’s eyes immediately reddened, and she lowered her head to speak:

“Is it really necessary for you to go?”

Li Tangyu nodded and said:

“I’ve already made up my mind.”

After speaking, Li Tangyu turned to address everyone:

“Brother Lin, Brother Zhang, and Sister Qing Ling…”

“After I leave, I hope you can help look after Qingqing…”

Zhang Yuan nodded and said to Li Tangyu:

“Brother Li, don’t worry.”

Lin Jing also chimed in:

“Brother Li, rest assured.”

Although Huang Qingling didn’t speak, she moved closer to Li Qingqing and gently held her arm to offer solace.

At this moment, Lin Jing asked Li Tangyu:

“Brother Li, where do you plan to go on this journey?”

Li Tangyu’s eyes sparkled with excitement and wonder:

“This time, I want to cross the Demonic Monster Sea and head to the Eastern Spirit Realm.”

“I’ve long heard that the Eastern Spirit Realm is the holy land of cultivation for human cultivators, vast in territory, with outstanding people and an inspiring environment, where almost all of the top sects in the cultivation world converge.”

“Moreover, I’ve heard that the Eastern Spirit Realm has extraordinary achievements in the Alchemy Dao, far surpassing our Nanming Domain,

“and I even heard that there are Alchemy Sects dedicated to alchemy.”

“I want to go to the Eastern Spirit Realm and join an Alchemy Sect there; I also want to witness the very pinnacle of alchemy skills in the cultivation world.”

As Li Tangyu finished speaking, everyone’s heart could not calm down for a long time.

It turned out that he had always harbored such ambitions.

…

After a while.

Li Qingqing lifted her head, her eyes red, and looked earnestly at Li Tangyu:

“Brother, go ahead…”

“I know that in this life, your greatest passion is the Alchemy Dao, and if you’re not allowed to pursue it, it would be no different from killing you.”

“I don’t want you to go, but I also don’t want you to suffer because of it.”

Li Tangyu looked at Li Qingqing with a guilt-ridden and distressed face:

“Qingqing, I…”

“I’m sorry…”

Li Qingqing wiped her eyes, which had grown a bit moist:

“Brother, I know…”

“You don’t need to apologize to me…”

Then, Li Qingqing spread a smile, yet it carried a hint of tragic beauty:

“I can take good care of myself, so don’t worry.”

“I just hope that after you achieve your cultivation goals there, you can come back and see me.”

Li Tangyu nodded firmly:

“Sister, don’t worry, I will definitely come back.”

…

Upon learning that Li Tangyu was leaving, everyone’s spirits fell, and what was initially a festive feast now lost its flavor.

In the end.

It was still Li Qingqing who took the initiative to liven up the mood.

“My brother is leaving to pursue his own path, we should not be like this, we should be happy.”

“After this gathering, we don’t know when the next will be, shouldn’t we cherish this even more?”

Li Qingqing’s words instantly enlightened everyone.

Indeed.

Li Tangyu’s departure was also a pursuit of his own path, and they should feel happy for him.

With this thought, everyone let go of their reservations, drank merrily, and decided to get Li Tangyu drunk one more time before leaving.

Perhaps it was because he was preparing to leave, Li Tangyu had also braced himself for indulgence.

This time, the wine he snuck from Elder Master Li was not just one jar; he nearly took half of the old master’s stock.

This impressed Li Qingqing a lot.

She would never dare to do such a thing, stealing at most just a little each time.

In the end.

The alcohol was almost entirely consumed by everyone.

And so, nearly all of them got so drunk they were beyond sense.

If Elder Master Li saw this, he would probably be blowing his beard and glaring, decrying the waste of such treasures.

…

In the autumn night, cold and heavy with dew.

But for these cultivators, it wasn’t much of a concern; they had long since reached the state where neither heat nor cold could affect them.

When Lin Jing awoke, he found Li Tangyu sitting there, watching everyone.

Seeing Lin Jing wake up, Li Tangyu said with a smile:

“Brother Lin, you’re awake…”

At this moment, Li Tangyu had once again become his usual self, as humble and polite as ever.

Lin Jing rubbed his head, which still felt a bit fuzzy, nodded, and then asked Li Tangyu:

“Brother Li, you didn’t get drunk?”

Li Tangyu couldn’t help but give a wry smile:

“How could I not be drunk after being plied by you all…”

“I also just woke up not long ago…”

Lin Jing nodded and then asked Li Tangyu again:

“Brother Li, when do you plan to leave?”

Li Tangyu looked at Li Qingqing, who lay on the table, drunk and fast asleep, and said:

“The day after tomorrow…”

Perhaps because Li Tangyu was about to leave, Li Qingqing felt extremely reluctant to part.

She kept drowning her sorrows in drink and had consumed quite a bit.

Not only her but Huang Qingling also got herself drunk keeping her company.

Originally, Lin Jing had wanted Zhang Yuan to persuade them, but unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan not only failed to persuade them but also got himself involved in the drunkenness.

One must know that this was top-grade Spiritual Wine, which could intoxicate even cultivators when imbibed.

Then.

Li Tangyu raised his head to look at the sky, where the stars sparkled brightly.

The moon had already set.

Seeing the color of the sky, it must already be the early morning.

Afterward, Li Tangytu lowered his head and said to Lin Jing:

“Brother Lin, it’s getting late, I should take Qingqing back home.”

Lin Jing looked at the sky and then said to Li Tangyu:

“Brother Li, it’s only just past midnight, why not rest here for now and leave tomorrow morning when Qingqing wakes up.”

Although Lin Jing was the only one living in this courtyard,

this was a double-entry yard with several rooms, enough to accommodate several people.

Li Tangyu looked at Li Qingqing, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, and then he said:

“When I was younger, I often immersed myself in studying various books of alchemy in the study, and would stay up for almost the entire night.”

“Back then, Qingqing would always stay by my side. Although she was very young and understood nothing, she would watch until she fell asleep leaning on me.”

“I often carried her in the middle of the night from the study to the bedroom.”

“I did this for several years until she gradually grew up.”

“Now, I want to carry her again.”

After listening to Li Tangyu’s story, Lin Jing fell silent.

“Brother Lin, don’t worry.”

“There will be no problems here in Immortal City,” Li Tangyu said to Lin Jing.

“Alright then.”

Seeing Li Tangyu so determined, Lin Jing could only agree.

Then.

Li Tangyu stood up and walked over to Li Qingqing.

Then he said to her softly:

“Qingqing, come on, big brother will carry you home…”

After that, he skillfully hoisted Li Qingqing onto his back, securing her with both arms around her legs to prevent her from falling.

At this moment, Li Qingqing was still asleep. She lay on Li Tangyu’s back as though feeling a profound sense of security, rubbed her head against his back, then found a comfortable position and continued her deep slumber.

Li Tangyu turned his head, caught a glimpse of that moment out of the corner of his eye, and couldn’t help but smile contentedly.

Then Li Tangyu spoke, saying to Lin Jing:

“Brother Lin, would you please help me with the door? My hands…”

Lin Jing nodded and then followed Li Tangyu to the door, helping him open the gate.

Afterward, Li Tangyu bid farewell to Lin Jing in a soft voice and walked away with Li Qingqing on his back.

Lin Jing stood at the doorway, watching the two people as they gradually disappeared into the distance.

Only when they had vanished into the night did Lin Jing go back to the courtyard.

Seeing that Huang Qingling and Zhang Yuan were still blissfully unconscious from the drink, Lin Jing couldn’t help but let out a wry laugh.

He had indeed overestimated Zhang Yuan’s drinking capacity.

Then.

Lin Jing picked up the two, placed each in a separate room, and let them sleep it off.

As for himself, he started tidying up the remnants of the night’s drinking.

…

Time flew, and two days went by in a blink.

Today was the day Li Tangyu would leave.

Early in the morning, Lin Jing and the others went to the Li Family to see Li Tangyu off from Immortal City.

“That will be far enough, gentlemen.”

“Grandfather is waiting just ahead, and soon I have to go to Qingyuan Sword Sect with him,” said Li Tangyu.

Elder Master Li, although reluctant to let go, still offered his greatest support for Li Tangyu’s wishes.

Li Tangyu’s journey to the Qingyuan Sword Sect was because an Elder of the sect planned a trip to the Demonic Monster Sea, and Elder Master Li had requested that Elder to take Li Tangyu along for part of his journey.

Moreso, to impart some knowledge on how to navigate the outside world.

“Brother…”

Li Qingqing, with red eyes, called out to Li Tangyu.

“Qingqing, be good…”

Li Tangyu ruffled Li Qingqing’s hair, messing it up, but Li Qingqing seemed not to notice.

Then, Li Tangyu fist-saluted everyone and then said loudly:

“Take care, everyone. We will meet again.”

“Qingqing, take care!”

After saying that, Li Tangyu stepped onto his Flying Sword, looked back once, and then disappeared into the sky.

After Li Tangyu left, Li Qingqing finally couldn’t hold back her tears anymore, and they flowed like a fountain, dropping to the ground one by one.

“Brother…!!!”

Li Qingqing shouted loudly in the direction where Li Tangyu had disappeared…
