Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 662: Leaving the Eastern Domain

"What are you waiting for?" Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders, smiling casually.

However, Liu Yanran let out a bitter laugh.

"You pretend to be relaxed. Are you planning to leave without even saying goodbye?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yi was slightly puzzled.

"There’s no need to lie to me." Liu Yanran’s tone was very somber.

"Yueyao has already told me."

"Although I don’t know where you are going, the place you’re going to must be very dangerous."

"You might not come back for a long time."

"This..." Xiao Yi gave an awkward smile.

Only a few people knew about his trip to the Central Region.

Besides the Senior Swordswoman and the Hall Master, there was only Bai Bingxue.

But Bai Bingxue was not a thoughtless person.

The affairs of the Central Region were secrets of the Eastern Domain, and she wouldn’t spread them recklessly; she might at most hint at something to Zhou Yueyao.

And Zhou Yueyao was a very close confidante of Liu Yanran.

"What now? Silence isn’t your style," Liu Yanran sneered.

"Are you trying to think of some excuse to fob me off?"

"The matter of your departure even caused a big fight between the Senior Swordswoman and the Hall Master."

"What kind of excuse do you think you need to make me believe?"

"I..." Xiao Yi wanted to say something.

Liu Yanran interrupted, "You are heading to such a dangerous place, you will be gone for a long time."

"Even if we are just friends, you could at least say goodbye."

"Yanran..." Xiao Yi wanted to say something but found himself suddenly at a loss for words, even stunned.

In his memory, Liu Yanran had always been a knowledgeable, gentle, and quiet woman.

That kind of comforting feeling, like basking in the spring breeze, was something other women simply could not match.

And like today, with anger in her tone, it was the first time.

Yet this anger could not provoke even the slightest irritation from others.

It was more like a lamentation filled with desolation.

Liu Yanran was silent, just staring at Xiao Yi, not knowing if there was nothing to say or not wanting to speak, or perhaps, she was just waiting for Xiao Yi’s response.

Previously, she had never interrupted any of Xiao Yi’s words.

She preferred to quietly wait for Xiao Yi’s response, quietly watching him speak, even if what he said was mere trivial chatter.

"I really need to travel to a rather far place." After a while, Xiao Yi opened his mouth.

Saying this, Xiao Yi showed an apologetic look, "You always knew, I am not someone who likes to talk much when parting."

"Not just you, I didn’t say goodbye to Lin Jin, Qin Feiyang, or Ye Ming either."

Liu Yanran was silent.

She knew that Xiao Yi’s words were an explanation, but also a statement that she, like Lin Jin, Qin Feiyang, and Ye Ming, was a good friend to him.

"Hmm." Liu Yanran suddenly made a light sound from her silence.

Xiao Yi frowned.

He knew that Liu Yanran understood the implication of his words.

He had anticipated that Liu Yanran might become angrier or might cry.

He was ready to make his words harsher this time.

But Liu Yanran’s light hum was something he had not expected at all.

He didn’t even know how to continue the conversation.

Xiao Yi suddenly felt awkward.

Liu Yanran spoke first, relieving his awkwardness.

"Hmm." Another gentle word, a gentle nod, "I accept this reason."

"But since I am here now, please say goodbye to me."

"Okay..." Xiao Yi subconsciously nodded, uttering the word.

But the next second, his goodbye got stuck in his throat.

He looked at Liu Yanran, whose expression was very calm.

The previous anger and bitter laughter were no longer there.

In its place was the usual tranquility, a gentle smile like a spring breeze.

She was smiling, seemingly just waiting for his simple goodbye, nothing more.

But Xiao Yi knew very well that this smile hid a calmness so deep it almost seemed ready to drip water.

She was suppressing herself.

Therefore, Xiao Yi did not know how to say farewell.

After a long while, Xiao Yi still clenched his teeth, his expression turning cold.

He knew Liu Yanran’s intentions.

But, some things really needed to be made clear and could not be dragged on.

"I am leaving, farewell," Xiao Yi said coldly.

Then he turned and left.

Behind him, there was only a light ’en’, followed by silence.

She did not say a single word, not even a simple ’goodbye’ or ’take care’.

She did not say anything.

Because the words she wanted to say had already been spoken before.

"Wait for you," that was her answer.

Right when she first spoke with Xiao Yi, she had already said it.

She said it only once, and she did not know if Xiao Yi understood her meaning, but that was her answer.

She just quietly watched Xiao Yi walk away.

In the distance, Xiao Yi had already left, performing Sky-controlling Flight a thousand miles away.

He did not turn back to look at Liu Yanran even once.

But, his previously cold expression had already become complex.

People are not heartless like grass and trees.

Liu Yanran was good.

Only, right now, he indeed had many things to do, and he had no desire to focus his thoughts on anything else.

Perhaps, when he had settled all his affairs and returned to the Eastern Domain, he would reconsider these matters.

Just, how long would it be in the future... five years, ten years, or even more?

By then, would things and people have changed, or would he remain true to his initial intentions?

"Alas," Xiao Yi sighed.

He cast away all stray thoughts.

The world was ultimately vast and dangerous; and he, still insignificantly small.

His steps were destined never to stop.

...

At the East Sea Coast, high above the Endless Black Sea.

Though the sea surface was much calmer than before, that was only true for martial artists with strong Cultivation.

For ordinary people and weaker martial artists, it was still endlessly stormy and incredibly dangerous.

Xiao Yi’s face was stern, looking straight ahead.

The towering black waters could not block his sight even slightly.

His gaze extended to the end of this black sea, only stopping when it reached the chaotic spatial currents gleaming with flowing lights.

Beside him, the Hall Master’s expression was solemn.

"Young man, have you decided?" the Hall Master asked in a deep voice.

"That spatial chaos is extremely dangerous."

"If you are even slightly careless, even if you have a Heaven and Earth Treasure to protect yourself, the consequences are unpredictable."

"I must try," Xiao Yi said solemnly.

"Hall Master, if I am fortunate enough to get through, please take care of my family."

"Don’t worry," the Hall Master nodded.

"This old body of mine can last another hundred or two hundred years, the Divine Martial King as well."

"Alright," Xiao Yi nodded.

"Hall Master, I am going now, wait for me, I will definitely come back."

Xiao Yi’s figure had already vanished from the spot.

Above the Endless Black Sea, a streak of light darted among the giant black waves. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

The speed of the light was extremely fast.

In no time, it had crossed the entire Endless Black Sea and arrived before the spatial chaos.

Whoosh...

The light leaped forward and completely disappeared.

...

First update.
