Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 1027: Someone Has to Shoulder It

Just like that, after settling everything, Bai Junjun took Wenren Pingting, while Li Wenli accompanied Yuwen Luanfei. The four, along with two horses, prepared to leave before nightfall.

Of course, the ones riding the horses were Wenren Pingting and Yuwen Luanfei.

As two bumpkins of The Apocalypse, they knew how to drive armored vehicles and operate planes and cannons, but ironically couldn’t manage the ancient mode of cool transport—horse riding.

These past days, they’d been used to "Flying and Hiding" techniques. Even without that, when riding in a Horse Carriage, there had always been someone to handle the reins. It never fell to the two of them to drive. Thus, now that they needed to ride horses, both were momentarily stunned.

It was only now that they belatedly realized—they couldn’t ride a horse!

To be precise, Bai Junjun was slightly better off. After all, the original owner of her body had been capable of horse riding, and with some practice, she shouldn’t have an issue.

Li Wenli, on the other hand, had spent years bedridden and had no experience riding whatsoever.

But if these two bigshots were to cram lessons and learn now before heading out, it would inevitably delay their departure.

Fortunately, Yuwen Luanfei and Wenren Pingting could ride, so the situation took a turn, and the two of them ended up carrying the others.

Luckily, the two bigshots were thick-skinned enough, able to adapt to the situation without complaint. Playing a subservient role didn’t bother them.

And so, Yuwen Luanfei and Wenren Pingting became the unexpected leading force for heading south.

Yuwen Luanfei mounted his horse and helped Li Wenli up, while Wenren Pingting, exuding a bold and heroic aura, pulled Bai Junjun onto the horse behind her. If you didn’t look too closely, they really resembled dashing heroes from the Itinerant World.

Just as the two horses were about to leave, Yuwen Qi, after some internal struggle, finally mustered the courage and jogged over to Yuwen Luanfei.

"?"

Yuwen Luanfei looked down in puzzlement, only to see the young man’s clear and earnest eyes gazing up at him.

"You... take care on your journey, and be safe."

Yuwen Luanfei froze, surprised that Yuwen Qi had gone out of his way to bid him farewell.

Could it be... he had figured out who he really was?

A flicker of astonishment passed through Yuwen Luanfei’s eyes.

Yet Yuwen Qi continued to look at him sincerely, as though he were saying goodbye to an ordinary friend. There was no other emotion in his eyes.

But sometimes, between clever minds, everything could be communicated without words.

Yuwen Luanfei quickly adjusted himself and nodded, lowering his voice to remind him, "The road ahead is rough. Take care of yourself too."

And then, the two horses quickly galloped away.

Having heard those words, Yuwen Qi confirmed his suspicions and couldn’t help but break into a grin.

At that moment, the Lame Man Uncle thought Yuwen Qi might start sobbing. After all, he was still young—in situations of parting with friends who were both mentors and comrades, who wouldn’t feel saddened?

To his surprise, the boy’s mindset was remarkably stable, even managing to smile.

"Not bad, huh? I really underestimated you," the Lame Man Uncle couldn’t help but ruffle his hair.

Yuwen Qi smiled sheepishly, saying, "I do feel reluctant to part with them and truly wish I could just let go and leave with them.

But... someone has to step up and clean up this mess of a world.

I’m willing to be the one who sacrifices for that.

As long as I know that everything I’m doing will ultimately lead to reuniting with them, and maybe even allow families across the land to reunite, then this temporary separation seems insignificant!"

The Lame Man hadn’t expected this 18-year-old boy to bear such a magnanimous heart, and he couldn’t help but feel moved.

Indeed, closeness to virtuous people fosters virtue—it made sense that Yuwen Qi was able to befriend the likes of the Fox Brothers and Junjun Girl. Their moral compass and quality of character were so similar.

From chaos emerges heroes, and from youth comes greatness! This group of kids is truly admirable!

At this moment, the ones admired as awe-inspiring youths were racing against time to head for Dai County.

It would take nine days to travel from Yán City’s outskirts to Dai County, passing through two smaller county towns along the way.
