Faced with Jun Yu's question, Bai Li Dong Jun was also worried.
He had been confined to his home lately, forced by his father to practice swordsmanship every day, which was quite boring.
The key issue was that Bai Li Cheng Feng's teaching methods were not effective.
Bai Li Dong Jun was also getting old and couldn't adapt.
Now, Lei Meng Sha, with the identity of Ji Xia Academy, came to inquire.
He seemed to have the intention of taking Bai Li Dong Jun into the academy instead of Li Chang Sheng.
It also made him feel conflicted.
"Do you want me to go to the academy and take the grand exam?"
From the tone of the other party, there seemed to be a little expectation.
Jun Yu, however, threw him off the carriage.
"Alright, you're not young anymore. You'll have to walk your own path from here on out!"
"Come on, you're being too ruthless. You just leave someone behind like that?"
Bai Li Dong Jun was also displeased.
Jun Yu's actions were too much.
He didn't give him any time to prepare!
"You're not injured! Go on, if you have the chance to pass the exam and enter the academy, I'll be waiting for you!"
Jun Yu didn't waste any words, continuing to urge the carriage forward, taking Gu Chen along the way.
Thus, he parted ways with Bai Li Dong Jun.
After all, even when escorting someone a thousand miles, there must be a parting.
He would simply arrange for Gu Chen and then leave.
Little Bai Li should still go ahead and complete his main task by joining the Ji Xia Academy first.
This action left Bai Li Dong Jun feeling quite helpless.
He had no choice, he now faced a choice and had to make a decision.
Taking a deep breath, he finally decided to accept everything.
He went back to see his family.
***
The carriage slowly drove out of Qian Dong City.
Jun Yu was also pondering his thoughts.
This time, he had reached the realm of Half-Step Shen You.
He was only a step away from Shen You Xuan Jing.
It was quite a surprise.
He was not yet nineteen years old, and there was still over a year before Li Chang Sheng entered Shen You Xuan Jing at twenty years old.
As long as he put in more effort, creating a miracle wouldn't be a problem.
Of course, there was also the reward of the Lie Guo Sword Art, and all the profound meanings of the Xi Chu Sword Song.
By integrating these swordsmanship techniques, he would naturally be able to reach even greater heights.
Jun Yu was quite excited.
What excited him most was the Tian Ren Sword gifted to him by Gu Chen.
Another Xian Gong-grade divine sword, it really came to him without any effort.
With such a divine weapon, he could easily practice any sword formation he desired.
Jun Yu was reviewing his recent gains when he noticed that it was already evening.
He had left the city and arrived at the outskirts, where there was no one around. Was he going to spend the night here?
He frowned and looked around, as if he had discovered something?
There seemed to be signs of human habitation ahead, and there was also a familiar person.
Jun Yu enhanced his perception and investigated a little, and he smiled.
It was actually her.
***
Not far away.
Inside a certain dwelling.
Yue Yao and her maidservant were staying there.
They were welcomed by a kind mother and daughter-in-law.
They warmly welcomed Yue Yao and her maidservant, and even took out food from their home to share.
Yue Yao and her maidservant were quite grateful.
After all, it was rare to encounter such warmth while wandering the world.
Furthermore, in conversation, they discovered that they were also refugees from Bei Que.
When Bei Que was destroyed, the people were forced to wander, and many scattered throughout Bei Li.
Some had already integrated with the local people and started new lives.
Although their lives may have been poor, they were still manageable.
In addition, during their conversation, they heard from them that they had long given up hope of restoring their country.
They just wanted to live a stable life and avoid wandering, which left Yue Yao puzzled.
Could the hatred for the destruction of Bei Que be forgotten so easily?
Didn't they want their country to be restored?
"What's the point of restoring the country? My husband and son both died in that war. If there had been no war, maybe my grandson would be as old as you!"
Faced with the old woman's lament, Yue Yao was speechless for a moment.
Perhaps this was the expectation of ordinary people.
They didn't understand anything about national affairs, they just wanted to live a life with enough to eat and drink, and avoid being displaced.
After experiencing this shock, Yue Yao's heart began to waver.
Were the things she had been insisting on really right?
Until shortly after, Bai Fa Xian sent a message.
The two Wu Fa Wu Tian envoys failed miserably, and their martial arts were completely ruined.
Ru Xian Gu Chen also suffered the same fate, and after defeating Wu Fa Wu Tian, he also passed away.
In this struggle for the Ru Xian, no one was a winner.
"The Ru Xian, just died like that?"
Yue Yao waved her hand, indicating that she knew.
She asked Bai Fa Xian to leave for now, but she needed to think carefully.
After all, losing the Ru Xian card meant that the chance of Tian Wai Tian's restoration was once again slim.
Without the Ya Ren Zhi Shu and the Xi Chu Sword Song, would her father and the others have to continue searching for someone with a natural martial vein!
"Perhaps, you could take me to see your father! Let me persuade him to listen..."
Outside, a familiar voice unexpectedly appeared.
It was Jun Yu.
Yue Yao, who had been lost in thought, was now stunned by Jun Yu's question.
She instinctively retreated, almost making a sound, but she was supported by Jun Yu, who slipped into the room.
"How have you been doing these past few days?"
Their eyes met, and for a moment, it felt like they had been apart for a long time.
Yue Yao couldn't help but look at Jun Yu's eyes and brows, and his delicate face.
At this moment, Jun Yu revealed his true appearance.
What an extraordinary and beautiful man.
Who would have thought that Jun Yu had been trying to conceal his brilliance all along.
Otherwise, countless women in the world would have been smitten with him, completely infatuated.
And with his further breakthrough in realm, his temperament had reached a unique level.
So much so that when Yue Yao saw him again, she couldn't help but imagine various scenes.
It was a time when they wandered the world together, their adventures spanning the heavens and the earth.
How enchanting it would be!
