Chapter 40 Farewell
The next day, early in the morning.

Xiao Bai opened his eyes from the bed. He did not practice last night, but had a good sleep.

After all, when you go out this time, it won’t be as convenient as at home, so you need to get enough rest.

I got up, washed, put on my clothes, and opened the door.

I saw a lonely figure standing outside the courtyard gate, and I didn't know how long she had been there.

"Brother Xiao Bai, you're up!"

Although the girl's eyes were full of reluctance and attachment, she still smiled when she saw him come out, and spoke softly.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Bai felt a little distressed. This girl came so early, was she afraid that he would leave quietly without saying goodbye?
He sighed in his heart, walked up to her, gently held her thin body in his arms, and stroked the black hair on her head with his palm without saying a word.

Xun'er was in his arms, feeling the familiar breath a little greedily, and then she hugged Xiao Bai tightly with her backhand, as if she wanted to merge herself into his body and leave with him.

It was different from the last time Xiao Bai was refining medicine in the back mountain. At that time, she knew he was nearby and she could still see him whenever she wanted. But this time, she couldn't see him even if she wanted to.

When she thought about being separated from Xiao Bai for a long time, she felt extremely reluctant to leave.

"Let's go! How about we see Brother Xiao Bai off?" After a moment, Xiao Bai lowered his head and spoke softly to the person in his arms.

After hearing this, Xiao Xun'er nodded her head sullenly in his arms.

"Ok!"

The two of them came to the gate of the Xiao family together, and saw a young man in black standing lazily next to the stone lions at the gate.

After seeing the two of them, the young man instantly perked up, waved his hand, and said with a smile:

"Brother Bai, you finally came out!"

Hearing this, Xiao Bai felt a little depressed. How come everyone came earlier than him? He couldn't help but look at the sky. It was not yet dawn!
Putting aside the depression in his heart, he nodded to Xiao Yan with a smile and said:
"Let's go!" Then he took Xun'er's hand and walked towards the city gate first.

At the gate of Wutan City, there were already many people coming in and out. Some were coming into the city to sell things, while others were on their way out of the city.

At this time, Xiao Bai and the other two were standing in a secluded place not far from the city gate.

"Brother Bai, be careful when you are out there. I hope your trip goes well. Remember to come back next year to attend my coming-of-age ceremony. Don't miss it."

Xiao Yan said jokingly, but there was a hint of envy in his eyes. He also wanted to go out and have fun together!
But there's nothing I can do. My strength is too low and I'll just be a drag if I go out.

Xiao Bai looked steadily at the smiling young man in black in front of him, feeling a little complicated. This time when he went out, some things would be different.

Some things were still his, but some were not.

But there is no way. Xiao Bai has already made clear plans for his future. When it comes to things he needs, he will not be soft-hearted and will not refuse to take them just because they will belong to Xiao Yan in the future!
If he wants to become stronger, there are some things he cannot miss. As for lying down and waiting for Xiao Yan to become the emperor, sorry, Xiao Bai can't do that now.

We all come to this world to live. We don’t ask for anything spectacular, but we should at least give it a try and not rely on others for everything.

Besides, this world is not safe. Who knows if he can survive until that time? Maybe one day when he goes out, he might be disliked by some powerful person and be easily killed!

So it’s other people’s business if they are strong. In a place where the strong are respected, you will feel more secure if you are strong yourself.

So, this is a dispute!

As for Emperor Hun Tian's "Thousand Year Journey", he also had some vague countermeasures. What he could think of for now was to prevent him from collecting all the Tuoshe ancient jades and delay time.

As for more, I’ll think about it slowly later. There’s still a lot of time, so don’t rush!
"Brother Bai, why are you looking at me like that? Are you reluctant to leave me, your brother?"

Seeing Xiao Bai staring at him strangely for a long time, Xiao Yan put on a sly smile and said jokingly.

Xiao Bai smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Practice well. Yao Lao and I will be back before your coming-of-age ceremony. I hope you can pass the family test by then!"

"Brother Bai, who are you looking down on? I will definitely be a fighter by then, okay?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said a little unconvinced.

"Good! You have ambition!" Xiao Bai nodded and smiled gently, then looked at Xun'er who had been silent since coming here.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan walked away silently, as he was afraid of being fed a mouthful of dog food.

Seeing Xiao Yan walking away, Xiao Xun'er took slight steps and came in front of Xiao Bai. With a look of reluctance in her eyes, she stretched out her jade hand to straighten Xiao Bai's collar while giving him instructions.

"Brother Xiao Bai, be careful when you get out. If you meet an enemy, fight if you can, otherwise run away. Don't try to be brave. Your life is a thousand times more precious than theirs. You must always remember that Xun'er is still waiting for you at home!"

Then Xiao Bai felt his collar tighten, and Xun'er said in a slightly fierce tone:
"Also, don't mess with other girls outside, otherwise... hehe!"

"It's unfair, Xun'er. Look how honest I am in the family. Haven't I ever provoked anyone like Xiao Yu or Xiao Qing?" Xiao Bai shouted that he was unfair.

"Humph! You didn't provoke her, but every time you see Xiao Yu, your eyes would fall on her legs. Don't think Xun'er doesn't know. Xun'er is just taking care of your face and is too lazy to expose you."

Xiao Xun'er rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and snorted coldly.

Xiao Bai touched his nose a bit embarrassedly. He thought that everything was done secretly and Xun'er didn't find out. He didn't expect that this girl knew everything.

Seeing that he looked embarrassed, Xiao Xun'er did not continue the topic.

The small hand gently stroked Xiao Bai's angular face, her beautiful eyes were full of reluctance and attachment, and her voice was gentle.

"Brother Xiao Bai, remember to come back early, Xun'er will miss you!"

Having said that, she couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Xiao Bai's arms, hugging him tightly.

Smelling the faint fragrance lingering in his arms and feeling the little girl's sadness, Xiao Bai didn't quite like this kind of atmosphere. It made it feel like a farewell of life and death.

His thoughts turned, and he lowered his head and said something beside Xun'er's small earlobe.

Xun'er's pretty face immediately turned red, and she got up from Xiao Bai's arms, stretched out her hand to cover Xiao Bai's mouth, and said loudly with shy eyes:

"Don't say it!"

Xiao Xun'er immediately thought of the scene after Xiao Bai changed his clothes yesterday. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears and her long legs became slightly weak.

"Haha~Okay, okay, I won't tell you, I won't tell you!"

Seeing that she was no longer as sad as before, Xiao Bai smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"Humph!"

Seeing that he agreed, Xun'er rolled her eyes at him in reproach and snorted.

After her complexion recovered a little, Xiao Bai waved to Xiao Yan in the distance.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan knew that the two had finished saying goodbye, so he ran over, took off the ring and handed it to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai took it, but his hand trembled a little when the ring first came into his hand, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

He nodded to Xiao Yan and said, "Xiao Yanzi, take care!"

Then he looked at the little girl and said softly, "Take care!"
