Chapter 662 Leaving the Eastern Region

"What are you waiting for me to do?" Xiao Yi shrugged and smiled easily.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yanran laughed sadly.

"You are so pretending to be relaxed, do you want to leave without even saying goodbye?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yi was slightly confused.

"You don't have to lie to me." Liu Yanran said in a very low tone.

"Yue Yao told me everything."

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

"Maybe I won't come back for a long time."

"This..." Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly.

Not many people knew about his trip to the Central Region.

Apart from Senior Sword Lady and the Palace Master, there is only Bai Bingxue.

However, Bai Bingxue is not a person without sense of measure.

Things in the Central Territory are secrets from the Eastern Territory. She will not spread them randomly. At most, she will tell Zhou Yueyao a little bit.

Zhou Yueyao and Liu Yanran happen to be very good friends.

"What? Silence is not your style." Liu Yanran sneered.

"Are you thinking of some excuse to try to stall me?"

"Senior Sword Princess and the Palace Master even had a big quarrel about your departure."

"What kind of excuse do you think you should come up with to make me believe it?"

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

Liu Yanran interrupted, "If you go to that dangerous place, it will take a long time for you to come back."

"Even if you and I are just friends, we can still say goodbye."

"Yanran..." Xiao Yi wanted to say something, but found that he was speechless and even stunned.

In his impression, Liu Yanran had always been a well-educated, quiet and gentle woman.

That kind of comfortable feeling that makes people feel like a spring breeze is far incomparable to other women.

And like today, it was the first time that there was inexplicable anger in his tone.

But this kind of anger can't make people feel angry at all.

It was more like a whisper in sadness.

Liu Yanran was silent, just looking directly at Xiao Yi, not knowing whether she had nothing to say or didn't want to say, or maybe she was just waiting for Xiao Yi's answer.

In the past, she had never interrupted any of Xiao Yi's words.

She preferred to wait quietly for Xiao Yi's answer and watch Xiao Yi speak quietly, even if it was just a few simple words.

"I really want to go somewhere far away." After a while, Xiao Yi opened his mouth.

After saying that, Xiao Yi looked apologetic and said, "You have always known that I am not a person who likes to say too much before parting."

"Not only you, I also didn't say goodbye to Lin Jin, Qin Feiyang and Ye Ming."

Liu Yanran was silent.

She knew that Xiao Yi's words were explaining, but they also showed that she, like Lin Jin, Qin Feiyang, Ye Ming and others, were his good friends.

"Hmm." Liu Yanran suddenly said "Hmm" from the silence.

Xiao Yi frowned.

He knew very well that Liu Yanran understood the meaning of his words.

He had expected that Liu Yanran might become even more angry, and he had expected that Liu Yanran would shed tears.

He was prepared to speak more harshly this time.

But Liu Yanran's soft 'hmm' was something he never expected.

He didn't even know how to answer the question.

Xiao Yi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Liu Yanran spoke first, resolving his embarrassment.

"Yes." There was another soft word and a gentle nod, "I accept this reason."

"But since I'm here now, say goodbye to me."

"Okay..." Xiao Yi nodded subconsciously and said the word "good".

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

He looked at Liu Yanran. Liu Yanran's expression was very calm.

The anger and smile she had before no longer existed.

Instead, there was the same tranquility as before, a smile as gentle as the spring breeze.

She smiled, as if she was just waiting for his farewell, nothing more.

But Xiao Yi knew very well that in this smile, there was a kind of depression that was so calm that it was almost dripping with water.

She is suppressing herself.

So Xiao Yi didn't know how to say goodbye for a while.

After a long while, Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and his face turned cold.

He knew Liu Yanran's thoughts.

However, there are some things that really need to be explained clearly and cannot be put off forever.

"I'm leaving, farewell." Xiao Yi said coldly.

Then he turned around and left.

Behind him, there was still just a soft 'hmm', followed by silence.

She didn't say a word, not even a simple 'goodbye', not even a simple 'take care'.

She didn't say anything.

Because what she wanted to say had already been said before.

'Waiting for you', was her answer.

As early as when she was talking to Xiao Yi, she had already said the first sentence.

She only said it once, she didn't know if Xiao Yi understood what she meant, but this was her answer.

She just watched Xiao Yi go away quietly.

In the distance, Xiao Yi had already left, flying thousands of miles away in the sky.

He did not look back at Liu Yanran.

But his previously indifferent expression had long since turned into complexity.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

Liu Yanran is very good.

However, he does still have many things to do now, and he is not in the mood to put his mind on other things.

Perhaps, in the future, after he has dealt with all the matters and returns to the Eastern Region, he will re-examine these matters.

But, in the future, how long will it be...five years, ten years, or more.

At that time, did things change and people change, or did the original intention remain the same?

"Alas." Xiao Yi sighed.

He put away all distracting thoughts.

This world is, after all, very big and dangerous; but I am still small.

His steps are destined to be unstoppable.

…

The coast of the East China Sea, the endless black sea.

Although the sea is much calmer than before, this is only true for warriors with strong cultivation.

For ordinary people and weak warriors, the waves here are still constant and extremely dangerous.

Xiao Yi looked straight ahead with a stern face.

The monstrous black water did not block his sight at all.
