"Brother Yang, it's time for this old master to leave tomorrow. After three years, we've chatted for five days.”
"How about I accompany you tonight and get drunk?”Old Man Li said sadly.
"Grandpa Li, why are you leaving? Stay a little longer. Tomorrow, I'll go to the mountains and catch a few hares to greet you.
Thanks to your teachings these few days, your grandson's Qi cultivation and calligraphy have improved.
Just accompany your grandson for a few more days, okay?”Little Fanchen said with pity and coquettishness.
Old Man Li raised his right hand and stroked Little Fanchen's hair gently and tenderly.
It's just that this old man is used to drifting around. My personality is indifferent and I'm used to freedom.
Besides, I can't just stay here forever! Is it appropriate to just eat and drink like this?”
"It's suitable, it's suitable! As long as you don't mind our simple meals.”Little Mortal Chen said with a smile.
Boss Li's mouth was wide open. He was dumbfounded. He didn't expect this kid to be so good at talking.
Old Man Li laughed out loud." We eat delicacies, seafood, fish, and prawns every day. We drink the best wine in the world. How can this be called simple food?
Little brat, I'm going to bite you! How can there be such delicious food in the world?" Old Man Li looked lovingly at Little Fanchen's innocent, cute, and smiling face.
"Little Fanchen, go out and play for a while. I have something to say to your Grandpa Li."”
"Oh…!" Little Fanchen replied tactfully and then ran away.
"This child!" The two old men looked at each other and chuckled.
"Brother Li, are you really leaving? Why don't you stay for a few more days?" Old Master Yang asked. His face was filled with regret and reluctance.
"That's right! It's almost time." Old Man Li stood up and looked outside…
"I don't know when we'll be able to meet again!”Old Man Li sighed softly and did not say anything else. He looked at the night sky outside the house with a sense of loss.
Both of them could feel the sadness and disappointment in their hearts when they parted, but there was nothing they could do!
There was a time to part when they met!
Perhaps at this moment, silence was better than words, and neither of them knew what to say!
At the end of the day, Old Man Yang sighed heavily. It was as if there was a huge rock weighing down on his heart. However, he said with difficulty," Brother Li, since you have decided to leave, I have a favor to ask of you. I don't know if I should tell you."”
Old Man Li suddenly heard it and turned around to look at Old Man Yang…
Old Master Yang's eyes flickered, as if he did not dare to look at him directly.
"Could it be that Brother Yang has some difficulties? Do you need my help?" Old Man Li asked in confusion,"
"There is indeed one thing! It's just that it's difficult for me to say it." Old Master Yang sighed heavily again. His face was filled with sadness, sorrow, and even extreme grief. He slowly said," Actually, I want to ask Brother Li to take Chen 'er in!" Let him follow you and learn.
I know that I don't have your cultivation and attainment.
Secondly, to be honest, I also want to leave.”
"Oh…?" Old Man Li was puzzled and looked at Old Man Yang with confusion.
Old Master Yang continued,"Chen 'er is by my side. I'm afraid he's in danger."
After so many years, our hearts have been connected, and we are still bosom friends. Perhaps you have already guessed my identity, and I also have some understanding of your identity.
To tell you the truth, I am the Emperor of the Bright Moon Empire in the Eastern Barren Lands, my name is Yang Huaiyu.
The current emperor of the Bright Moon Empire is my son, Yang Huaimin.””Old Man Yang stood up and said sincerely to Old Man Li.
"Eight years ago, I wholeheartedly cultivated to become an immortal and passed the throne to him!
During my reign, I was troubled by many things and couldn't concentrate on cultivation, so I put everything down and handed everything to him.
Furthermore, I don't care about power, money, or beauties. I only want to ascend to the peak of martial arts.
However, I haven't improved much.
Perhaps it was the will of heaven, or perhaps I wasn't suited for martial arts.
However, I don't want to live in the imperial court.
However, three years ago, a trusted aide in the palace came to report that my son was dissolute and immoral, treated human lives as grass, and treated the people of the world as grass.
There were miscellaneous taxes, refugees everywhere, starving people everywhere, ignoring the government all day long, the hearts of the people were in turmoil, and the people's resentment rose everywhere...
However, he did not appease them and instead suppressed them with thunderous methods. He was cruel and bloody, causing the heavens to be angry and the people to be resentful. He even treated the people of the world as straw dogs.
At that time, I didn't think much of it. I thought that he would turn over a new leaf, revive the court, and make the people submit.
Who knew that in these three years, not only did he not change, but he had become more and more violent.
Now, the court was in chaos.
Outside, the people's resentment is boiling, the hearts of the people are unstable, thieves and refugees are rampant.
At the border, the Fire Cloud Empire, the Snow Wind Empire, and the Star Source Empire were all eyeing them covetously. They also had the intention of annexing them.
In this time of internal and external troubles, I have no time to indulge in martial arts.
Although I'm obsessed with martial arts, I'm still a ruler of a generation. I can't watch the world rise up and my subjects wander around without a home.
We can't watch the empire that our Yang family's ancestors built be taken away by foreign countries.
If that's the case, how can I face the ancestors of the Yang family, how can I face the people of the world, and even more so, my heart.
In these three years, every time I look at the world, my heart is burning with anxiety. I think day and night and know that there is no way for me to advance on the path of martial arts.
" Because my heart is already unstable, as if I was born with a heart demon. My martial path in this life might have reached its end and there's no hope.
Thus, I must leave. I can't hide here and ignore the people of the world.
I can't just watch the Radiant Moon Empire be destroyed.
I can't watch the people of the world suffer and do nothing.
He couldn't watch the moon be destroyed by that unfilial son.
This time, I returned to the mortal world to cripple my disappointing son, resolve the crisis of the people, resolve the crisis of the country, and reorganize the court.
Therefore, I implore Brother Li to take care of Chen 'er.
I know that if I go, it will be a disaster, or perhaps even my life will be on the line…"
At this point, Yang Huaiyu had already gone from anger, sorrow, and even bleeding, to tears, lamentation, regret, despair, to ambition, to subverting the universe, to igniting the flames of hope, and then to pleading, pleading…
It was as if he was recounting his days and nights over the past three years, bit by bit, every moment…
Old Man Li sighed heavily. Brother Yang…"
He swallowed the rest of the words as if he didn't know what to say. How should he say it? Where should he start?
"Brother Li, I, Yang Huaiyu, don't have many friends in my life, and there are very few people I can trust with my life.
Brother Li is the only person I can trust and entrust my life to.
The one who understands is Brother Li! The one who knows me is Brother Li!
Today, I don't ask Brother Li to help me return to the court. I only ask Brother Li to take care of Chen 'er on my behalf. I, Yang Huaiyu, will definitely feel grateful.
He's also the only place I can't let go of! I hope Brother Li will agree!" Yang Huaiyu then bowed deeply to Li Guiyuan.
"I am Li Guiyuan. What qualifications do I have to deserve Brother Yang's trust?”As he spoke, Old Man Li held Old Man Yang's hands.
After pondering for a moment, he said seriously,
"Alright then! A scholar will die for his confidant, and a woman will make herself beautiful for his lover. I promise you.
Foolish brother Li Guiyuan is a wandering person. It is not convenient for the sect to reveal this. If it is revealed, I am afraid it will bring you an undeserved disaster.”Li Guiyuan cupped his hands and said solemnly and sincerely.
"You and I have known each other for many years because of wine. You know my heart, and I know your intentions.
When Little Fanchen succeeds in his studies, I will tell him everything and he will return.
Perhaps when you are in danger, this child might be able to resolve your situation.”
"Thank you, Brother Li! I, Yang Huaiyu, am extremely grateful.
This is a token from the Radiant Moon Empire's royal family. After I leave, please pass it to him.
Quansun, I'll have to trouble Brother Li!"
