Zhou Tian looked at his father's disappointed eyes, lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time, just standing there stupidly.
"Why aren't you leaving yet? It's already noon."
Although Zhou Liting is still a little reluctant to give up, his child will eventually leave him to pursue a career when he grows up, not to mention that the Xuantian Sect is now deteriorating day by day. Even if he continues to stay in Tianqi Town, he will eventually achieve nothing in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhou Liting forced a smile.
"You went to the academy, and when you come back, Tianqian Town will still be Tianqian Town, and it won't change because of your departure. Don't worry and go."
Zhou Liting was usually very strict with Zhou Tian, and it was rare to hear such touching words from him.
Zhou Tian gradually raised his head, his eyes seemed a little moist, but he put it back in an instant.
"Okay, Dad, please take care of yourself!"
Then he turned around and stepped out of the door without looking back, because he knew that if he looked back he would still be reluctant and sad, so he simply walked out.
"Master! Take care, we are leaving."
Zhou Liting nodded stiffly, looking at Zhou Tian's back in a hurry to go out, feeling sad, he walked to the door with his hands behind his back, watching them drifting away, thinking of his wife Bai Susu murmuring to herself: "Madam, I hope Tian'er's...
Traveling far can bring rewards... I wish him all the best in the future."
After that, he slowly closed the door.
Zhou Tian carried his luggage on one shoulder and remained silent. He looked at the market as it was still so lively and the people were still so diverse. His departure did not matter to this town, but in his heart, this town was the reason why he had survived for so long.
Most cordially, after thinking for a moment, he quickened his pace and followed Hu Sanhai in front of him.
"Master, everything here is the past. There is no need to think too much. After entering the academy, you can return to your hometown to visit once a year. Then come and see Miss Ye Youyou. There is no need to be so sentimental."
Originally, Xu Qingnian wanted to say a few words of comfort, but unexpectedly, he mentioned Zhou Tian's pain.
Zhou Tian didn't know whether it was wrong or right to go to the imperial city and leave Youyou this time, but in his mind, at this moment, perhaps only his departure could bring Youyou a little peace.
Zhou Tian looked at the scene passing by, expecting to enter the forest village again after leaving the town, so he looked at Xu Qingnian with some caution.
"Now, the front is the edge of Tianqi Town. If you go out, you will leave Tianqi Town."
Hu Sanhai pointed forward with his right index finger.
Zhou Tian concentrated his attention and looked forward, suddenly feeling confused.
"Old Xu, I didn't pay much attention along the way. Did I pass the arch bridge? This exit is not in the direction of Linzhai."
Xu Qingnian giggled and said: "Haha, Master, you have lived in Tianqian Town for so long. Don't you know that there are many exits in the town? Don't worry and follow Mr. Hu."
Only then did Zhou Tian react. He nodded slightly and scratched the back of his head: "Oh, haha, that's right."
As they chatted, they were out of the town in the blink of an eye.
Among the four continents, except for Dong Chu, every town and city is not guarded by the imperial court. In this world, Dong Chu is the kingdom of Shang, so only Dong Chu has guards guarding it. All other continents can enter and leave freely.
In the world of Qi cultivation, even if there are differences in different continents, they will be settled by each Qi cultivator.
This is also the reason why the Shang Kingdom is very relieved. This has been the case for hundreds of years. Even though many people from the Haotian Pavilion have infiltrated into it, they are all just soldiers and generals and will not be taken seriously by the Eastern Chu Imperial City at all.
On the contrary, Qi practitioners will automatically screen.
"Mr. Hu! This Beimo is thousands of miles away from Dongchu. How long will it take us to walk like this?"
Xu Qingnian turned around and saw a horse stable at the base of the town's outer wall.
"How about the three of us buy a horse each?"
"horse?"
Zhou Tian frowned and looked back at the stable, feeling uneasy.
Hu Sanhai smiled, his eyes suddenly wandering.
"Old Xu, look at your young master's demeanor. Does he seem to know how to ride a horse? Beimo Continent is not good at riding horses. The horses in that stable are all divine steeds of Qi cultivators. They usually use the sea of Qi in their bodies.
When pushed, the horse steps on the white clouds and travels thousands of miles."
"As a student of the academy for many years, don't you know? Haha~"
Lao Xu waved his hand: "Hey, I forgot about this, but what should I do? If we continue like this, how many years and months will it take to reach the Imperial City of Dongchu?"
After Xu Qingnian finished speaking, Hu Sanhai took out a ruler from his long sleeve.
"Xuantian Infinite Ruler?"
Zhou Tian didn't know what they were talking about. He heard Lao Xu shouting and stepped forward to take a look.
What's all the fuss about a ruler that looks like nothing more than a teacher's.
"Isn't this just an ordinary ruler? Lao Xu, why are you so surprised?"
Xu Qingnian looked at the ruler, his eyes shining like stars in the night sky.
"This is Old Master's ruler. Driven by the sea of qi, it can grow infinitely. It can ride the wind and waves, cross canyons, fly beyond the clouds, and travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye!"
"Mr. Hu, this is the old master's ruler. Why is it in your hand?"
Hu Sanhai mobilized the sea of qi and placed the Xuantian Infinite Ruler across his chest, and then released it. Seeing the ruler floating in front of his eyes, Zhou Tian was not very curious.
But what happened next made Zhou Tian extremely impressed.
Hu Sanhai clenched his fist under the ruler, then opened his palm, and saw that the ruler began to slowly become wider in length, until it turned into a huge wooden board, with enough space for the three of them to stand on it.
Zhou Tian's eyes widened. He had never seen such a thing before. Looking at the huge wooden board floating in front of him, he couldn't help but step forward and take a look. There were densely packed runes carved on the bottom of the board. He didn't know what they were.
"this?"
"What spell did Mr. Hu use?"
Hu Sanhai jumped up onto the wooden board with his hands behind his back.
"This is not a magic spell. What Lao Xu said just now is right. This is the Xuantian Infinite Ruler. It can be activated by its own Qi sea and change its form at will. It can be driven or killed. It depends on what you want to do with it."
"The academy today is no longer what it was like when Lao Xu was here. All students who enter the academy will have it as an auxiliary tool in their hands in the future."
Xu Qingnian also jumped on the ruler and laughed happily. He did not expect to be able to stand on the ruler again after a few years. The long-lost emotions flooded his heart.
Zhou Tian saw that they were all standing on it, but the ruler was one person high from the ground and still suspended in the air. He didn't know how to get up. He didn't have the blessing of the sea of qi, so how could he control it.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw the ruler swaying from side to side, and then dropped a lot.
Zhou Tian slowly walked towards the surface of the ruler. After standing still, the ruler made a whoosh sound and rose up to the height of two people.
"Wow, hey hey?..."
Zhou Tian stood on the ruler, swaying back and forth, his body was disobedient and he kept shaking.
"Haha, it's okay. This ruler is spiritual. If you stand on it, it won't let you fall down."
After saying that, he saw the ruler flying straight into the sky. Zhou Tian was so frightened that his face turned pale, and his hair was blown randomly on his head by the strong wind.
"ah......"
"You bastard, what's your name? It's your honor to be on Xuantian's Infinite Ruler. Stand up tall and look ahead!"
Xu Qingnian saw his useless look and scolded him a few times.
But when Zhou Tian looked down, it was all covered with white clouds. There were no shadows of people or scenes under the clouds at all.
"But....."
After a while they disappeared.
At the same time, Ye Wensheng's happy mood in Ye Mansion has not faded yet.
He was pacing back and forth in the study, thinking about how to manage such a large Xuantian Sect in the future, but he never expected that Wang Zilun was not as knowledgeable as he thought.
"Master! Someone is looking for you."
His wife knocked gently on the door outside the study.
Ye Wensheng thought it was other elders coming to celebrate him, so he opened the door with both hands.
The lady looked at his excited face and couldn't help but pursed her lips nervously.
Seeing his wife's strange expression, Ye Wensheng put away his smile and asked with some confusion: "Madam, what's wrong? I am now the new patriarch of the Xuantian Sect. Aren't you happy? When I told you just now, you didn't have this expression.
What's wrong?"
"master...."
"Chief Ye, congratulations!"
It turned out to be Wang Wunian of Xuantian Sect.
"Elder Wang? Why are you here? No one else?"
Before his wife could finish speaking, Wang Wunian opened his mouth first.
Ye Wensheng didn't think much, walked out of the room and came to Wang Wunian, still with a bright smile on his face.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Patriarch Ye would get his wish so quickly. I'm so happy to congratulate you. Look at your glowing face. Have you forgotten something?"
Wang Wunian is also an elder of Xuantian Sect, but he only appears in front of everyone's sight from time to time.
The Wang family, who had lived in Luoyang Town for many years, usually didn't care much about Tianqian Town, but Ye Wensheng was so angry about his eldest son's affairs, and he came to seek justice today.
After Ye Wensheng heard this, he thought about it and his face suddenly became much tighter. He already knew the purpose of Wang Wunian's visit at this moment.
My heart sank: Luoyang Town and Tianqi Town are dozens of miles apart. This Wang Wunian came to visit so quickly. He must be looking for trouble.
After thinking about it, he asked his wife to leave first.
"Elder Wang is talking about the marriage between your son and my daughter? It's a long story, please..."
Wang Wunian is slightly older than Ye Wensheng this year. He is usually a Buddhist and does not participate in the internal battles of Xuantian Sect. However, this incident forced him to come forward. Hearing Ye Wensheng's words were so vague, he waved his hands in anger.
, didn’t want him to talk anymore.
"There's no need to go on. Zi Lun has already made the matter very clear. It's just that you are unjust and unjust. Now Zi Lun is of no use to you, so you just throw it away."
When Ye Wensheng heard that he was so angry, it was understandable when he thought about it, so he said with sincerity: "The Xuantian Sect has been supported for so many years thanks to the blessings of the old master and the imperial city, but now Patriarch Haotian is so arrogant.
It lasted a day."
"When I became the patriarch of Xuantian Sect, the first thing I did was to report to the Imperial City to see how to deal with the next step. Youyou was also manipulated into a puppet by the spies of Haotian Pavilion using trickery. It was just right, but she was weak, so what?
Get married immediately? Many things are mixed together, I just said to delay, not to say not to get married. I must have heard Zi Lun wrong."
After hearing this, Wang Wunian seemed to make some sense. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Wensheng dubiously: "Is this serious?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Just as he was about to convince Wang Wunian, a person suddenly came outside the door.
"Wang Shunzhi?"
Wang Wunian looked back and saw that it was his second son.
