  Chapter 30 Leaving

  "Just call me Xiao Se. That damn Pu is a name I borrowed from a fat old man." Xiao Se picked up the fragrant tea on the table and drank it all.

  "Puchi." Suddenly, Ya Fei's pretty face, which was originally a little nervous, was amused by Xiao Se's words to the fat old man, "Little brother Xiao Se, you are really good at giving people surprises. By the way, this nourishing spirit liquid should not be made by you!"

  "Guess!" Xiao Se blinked his clear eyes and gave another ambiguous answer.

  Hearing this, Ya Fei rolled her eyes at him and tactfully changed the subject: "You bought so many outdoor supplies this time, are you planning to go out?"

  "Yeah!" Xiao Se nodded slightly and said lightly: "I plan to leave Wutan City and go out for training."

  "It's too dangerous for a young child to go out and gain experience!" Ya Fei exclaimed.

  "Everything depends on human efforts, and I am not unprepared." Xiao Se gently stroked the magic sword pattern on his right hand.

  "I really don't understand you. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in the Xiao family and practice hard? With the qualifications of a pharmacist, you should be able to receive strong training from the Xiao family." Ya Fei felt a little sour in her heart.

  It was because she had no talent for cultivation that she had to come to this small city to gain experience.

  With a hint of sarcasm on his lips, Xiao Se sneered, "Vigorously cultivate? If you were to ask about my background, you wouldn't think so. Besides, do you really think it's good to blindly expose your talent? A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Isn't Xiao Yan, the 'first genius of the Xiao family in a hundred years', a good example?"

  Looking at the mocking arc at the corner of the mouth on Xiao Se's pretty face, Ya Fei fell into silence. Although she was born in a large family, she was born with a charming body and had no talent for cultivation, so she might face the fate of an arranged marriage at any time.

  Perhaps it resonated with her. After a moment, Ya Fei uttered something that was totally inconsistent with her style: "Maybe you are right, but I really envy you for being able to control your own destiny."

  "Actually, you can do it too." Unexpectedly, Xiao Se gave an answer that surprised Yafei.

  "What do you mean?" Ya Fei asked in surprise.

  "If you want to avoid being controlled by the family, there are actually two ways to go. I took the shortcut, which is to abandon the so-called family, and you are just right for the second path." Xiao Se poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, took a sip, and said.

  Ya Fei's eyes lit up and she asked, "What road?"

  Xiao Se said seriously: "If you don't want to be controlled by your family, then control your family. The Mittel family you belong to is a business family. You have a talent for business, so you can definitely start from this aspect."

  "If you don't want to be controlled by your family, then control your family." Hearing this, Ya Fei pursed her red lips as if she had discovered a new world, and kept repeating what Xiao Se had just said.

  After thinking for a moment, Ya Fei smiled helplessly, looked at Xiao Se, and said with a wry smile: "I really don't know where you learned this at such a young age!"

  "Self-taught, self-taught." Xiao Se said with a guilty conscience as his mouth twitched slightly.

  He would never tell the other person that this is your future inner monologue!

  "So when do you plan to leave?" Ya Fei asked hesitantly.

  "Three days later." Xiao Se replied.

  "So soon, when do you plan to come back?" Ya Fei continued to ask.

  "Maybe it will be one year, maybe two years, maybe three years." Xiao Se gave an answer that even he himself was not sure of.

  "Haha, then sister will look forward to your growth when you come back next time." Luoluo Fangfang stretched out her jade hand and Yafei smiled sweetly.

  Nodding slowly, Xiao Se held the delicate hand. To Ya Fei's surprise, they separated as soon as they touched it.

  "the same as you."

  Looking at the mature Xiao Se in front of her, Ya Fei couldn't help but sigh: "Are you really only twelve or thirteen years old? Why do I feel like a child in front of you, as if you can see through me."

  Skipping this boring topic, Xiao Se put on his hood again, waved his hand, stood up and walked out of the living room. His voice returned to its previous hoarseness, "Well, see you again if we're lucky enough."

  "See you again if we're lucky." Staring blankly at Xiao Se's receding figure, Ya Fei rarely showed a knowing smile.

  Three days later.

  In the early morning, Xiao Se checked all the supplies, then left a letter in the Xiao family's room which he had not lived in for a long time, and left Wutan City, embarking on a journey to become stronger.

  In the dark woods, the moonlight shines down, covering everything like a veil. Through the gaps between the leaves, dots of silver light on the ground piece together beautiful patterns.

  Dressed in a black robe made of black silk, with a half-face mask purchased from the imitation market in Wutan City on his face, and a magic sword on his back, Xiao Se walked with heavy steps in the dark grove.

  Including today, Xiao Se has been away from Wutan City for three days. Used to being alone, he did not feel lonely at all.

  Because whether in the previous life or this life, Xiao Se has long been accustomed to loneliness and learned to enjoy loneliness, and this time he has Long Kui to keep him company.

  The magic sword that Xiao Se was carrying on his back was an item he had been training for. When he deliberately cut off the connection with the magic sword, the magic sword weighed more than 100 kilograms and suppressed most of the fighting spirit in his body, making it difficult for him to move.

  The journey was supposed to take two days, but it took him three days.

  "Brother, it's completely dark now. Why don't you rest here for a night?" A light voice suddenly came from the magic sword.

  "Yeah!" Xiao Se nodded slightly, drew the magic sword on his back, chopped down a tree, and built a bonfire.

  In the dark grove, the bonfire flickered lightly.

  Next to the campfire, Xiaose leaned against a tree trunk, chewing on some hard dry food, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

  "Brother, where are we going?" Long Kui's ethereal voice sounded again from the magic sword.

  "Monster Mountain Range." Xiao Se swallowed the food he had chewed and said with a smile.

  "World of Warcraft Mountain Range? Isn't the Xiao family's back mountain the World of Warcraft Mountain Range? Why are we running so far away?" Long Kui asked in confusion.

  Xiao Se explained with a smile: "Haha, this place is the eastern part of the Monster Mountains. If we cross from here, we can reach our final destination, the Tagor Desert. Also, there may be unexpected opportunities in the Monster Mountains!" As a first-generation time traveler, he would not miss the cave that contains the remaining map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and the flying fighting skills.

  Moreover, like Xiao and his clan, they all believe in the principle of taking the protagonist's path and leaving him with no way to go.

  There are still five years before Queen Medusa takes away the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire. As long as he can find the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire in advance within these five years and collect the three materials for devouring the strange fire, and borrow the power of Long Kui, there is still a great hope of obtaining the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.

  "Then you better be careful, brother. If you encounter any danger, I will possess you or let Xiaohong come out to help you. She is very powerful." Long Kui said with a smile.

  Xiao Se shook his head and said, "On the contrary, I cannot easily accept your help. I cannot grow without going through blood and cruelty. Next, unless I encounter a situation where I am sure to die, don't come out to help me."
