Chapter 738 - 733. Bidding farewell to father, preparing to return

Bainian Xiang, many people are aware she joined the Immortal Sect now.

The Hidden Dragon Sect’s ability to protect Bainian Xiang under the will of the Hundred Sects Alliance is questionable in Wen Ping’s eyes.

Keeping Bainian Xiang in Vast City might lead to trouble, and if that happens, he’d have to come out as the Sect Leader to scatter the enemies’ ashes for Bainian Xiang. Even though he used the Teleportation Array to arrive, the time needed for return is significant; he’s now lacking time rather than White Crystal.

Zi Ran naturally worried about this too, "I’ll make a trip shortly."

"Alright, go ahead."

Wen Ping’s gaze swiftly shifted to Long Ye, who was leaning against the door, scanning him up and down. "You look pretty good. When do you plan to leave?"

Long Ye had changed clothes after returning, though the wounds on his face were still there; he no longer appeared disheveled like he did at Demon Emperor Lake. After Zi Ran respectfully exited the door, Long Ye entered and closed the door behind him. "Now that you’re here, I’ll leave shortly. I’ll let my subordinates handle the Heaven and Earth Lake situation. I need to quickly report the news that Tian Mu is a member of the Covering Heaven Pavilion; it’s very important."

"Remember your promise." Wen Ping didn’t care about any Covering Heaven Pavilion or Earth Covering Pavilion; he only cared about his father and mother.

Having someone of considerable status helping at that household would certainly make things easier for his mother, and his father was under his care, which should be comfortable enough.

Long Ye chuckled helplessly, "Rest assured, would I dare not keep my promise? By the way, can you share who that Black Wings man was that day?"

"Curious?"

"I’ve never seen him at Heaven-Gazing Gorge, nor did he have any Demon Qi, yet he had wings on his back."

"He... how to put it, you could say he belongs to the Divine Race."

"Divine Race?"

"Even if I tell you, you wouldn’t understand, and if you did, you still wouldn’t comprehend."

Explaining the Condemner’s origins would require an extensive elaboration.

At least several tens of thousands of words.

Hence, it’s summed up in two words as Divine Race.

Keep it simple if possible; is he the kind to drag out something over tens of thousands of words?

Long Ye defiantly remarked, "Divine Race... I’ve noted that. Records about them will surely exist in Heaven-Gazing Gorge, as long as you’re not lying to me, I will find out."

"If you want to leave, go then." Wen Ping stood up, intending to leave with Long Ye.

Long Ye gently stopped him, "No need to see me off, don’t be so polite—"

Wen Ping interrupted Long Ye, "I’m sending off my father!"

Long Ye sighed lightly, turning to follow Wen Ping out the door. Exiting, he tapped He Nian’s shoulder at the doorway, jesting with a laugh, "Not bad, you seem quite suited for a guard."

"I need a favor, when you return, just say I’ve died." He Nian spoke with a hint of pleading beneath his mask.

Long Ye waved his hand; his expression turned serious. "Don’t worry, I’ll inform everyone you have passed away. However, your ’death’ will not sit well with your family. We both know the state of the He Mansion - they won’t leave anyone without value behind."

"I understand, but circumstances have forced my hand; my family has no choice either. Destiny decides life and death; success or failure lies in the heavens!" He Nian spoke calmly, as though he had pondered over this matter countless times - hundreds, thousands of times!

Long Ye said, "You had many enemies before, without you, they’d struggle. But since you’ve thought it all through, what more can I say?"

He Nian did not respond.

Long Ye did not pursue further conversation.

This He Nian really makes him feel both love and hate.

Love for He Nian’s genuine nature, loyalty, and his talent in Vein Technique.

The hate comes from He Nian’s stubbornness; joining the Long Family would be better, wouldn’t the Long Family protect him as the future Earth Unrestricted Expert?

But having joined the Immortal Sect, he can be considered as one of our own.

Family, he’ll help out when he has the time.

"Brother, take care." From around the corner in the hallway, Long Yue’s farewell rang out.

Long Ye’s face instantly fell, "Why is it that your brother is so unlikable to you?"

"You finally realized." Long Yue chuckled.

Long Ye rolled his eyes, retrieving a Storage Ring from his Storage Ring, saying, "Inside is all my property; when you’re out there, buy whatever you wish. As for your healing expenses, get them from him!"

"Him?"

Long Yue followed Long Ye’s finger to look at the masked He Nian.

Due to injuries, Perception wasn’t sharp enough to see He Nian’s face under the mask.

Yet she heard He Nian cough twice beneath the mask, before instinctively turning away.

Seeing this, Wen Ping just chuckled inwardly, continuing downstairs.

Downstairs, his father was already standing there early.

Many Immortal Sect members were bidding farewell to Wen Yan, speaking words of reluctant separation.

Wen Ping reached the bottom of the stairs, bluntly saying, "Safe travels, contact me through the Sound Transmission Stone if anything arises; I’ll respond as swiftly as possible."

Bidding farewell to his father, Wen Ping actually didn’t know what to say.

This farewell wasn’t like the ones with his wife or mother, where warm words were fitting; with his father, Wen Ping thought the best way to bid farewell was — waving!

Then saying, "I’m leaving."

Usually, the father doesn’t speak or says to be careful on the road.

There wouldn’t be anything else said.

"I’ll contact you when I meet your mother." Wen Yan simply replied.

Though, his eyes clearly glistened with tears.

Wen Ping promptly glanced at Long Ye behind him, "Long Ye, I’ll say this only once! If something happens to my parents, I can’t guarantee what extreme actions I’ll take. Then, don’t use blood ties as a bargaining chip; they mean nothing to me and will only make me angrier."

Long Ye promptly nodded.

"Rest assured! Rest assured! Your father, I’ll definitely treat him like an ancestor."

Long Ye suddenly felt the urge to flee from here.

Facing Wen Ping was even more alarming than facing Weisheng Canglan a few days ago.

"Let’s go." Wen Ping stood with his hands behind him, seeing Long Ye off.

Long Ye clasped his fists towards everyone, saluted, and left the Inn with Wen Yan, getting on a Beast Vehicle, soon disappearing down the street.

Those behind quickly stepped forward to comfort.

Hoping Wen Ping would feel better.

Wen Ping directly dismissed them before looking at Chen Xie who was staring at him, "What?"

Chen Xie whispered, "Sect Leader, you are..."

Long Ye, Long Ke, he knew these individuals.

Experts from powers outside of Heaven and Earth Lake.

Any casual word from them would make the Hundred Sects Alliance not dare to defy.

Yet, Long Ye was timid before Wen Ping, and based on Wen Ping’s tone, he seems to be an outsider from Heaven and Earth Lake.

"Alright, go pack up, prepare to return to the Immortal Sect." Wen Ping stepped directly upstairs, hearing Long Yue scolding He Nian and pushing him downstairs.

He Nian knew he was at fault and didn’t retort a word.

Only when Long Yue was tired of cursing did he repeatedly say sorry.

Upon reaching the floor where their rooms were, Wen Ping didn’t go back to his room.

Instead, he headed to the corridor’s end.

A sword flew out from the Sword Character Storage Ring and then dashed into the room at the corridor’s end, and moments later, a thud was heard as something hit the ground in that direction.
