Chapter 268: Chapter 251: Li Tangyu Departs

But in Lin Jing’s eyes, wasn’t this kind of complaint also a kind of happiness?

…

The two of them worked together, and it was actually quite quick.

Moreover, towards the end, three others came to help, making the speed even faster.

Dusk had just fallen.

A large table full of aromatic dishes was already served.

Huang Qingling and Li Qingqing, the two eager food lovers, could hardly wait, their eyes shining as they stared at the dishes on the table.

This time, at the request of several people, they didn’t dine inside the house but instead in the outside pavilion.

At that moment, the group sat around the table under the dusky sunset, the atmosphere just right.

Just as Huang Qingling and Li Qingqing were about to start eating, Li Tangyu took out a jar of fine wine from the Storage Bag and then asked everyone,

“Drink some?”

“Sure…”

Everyone responded, including the eager Huang Qingling and Li Qingqing.

The wine Lin Jing and the others usually drank was brewed using various Spirit Plants, not only refreshing but also capable of enhancing one’s Spiritual Power after consumption.

Suitable for any cultivator, regardless of age or gender.

Naturally, there weren’t so many rules either.

Afterwards.

Li Tangyu stood up, opened the wine jar, and poured everyone a full cup.

The moment the wine was opened, everyone could smell its rich aroma.

Upon smelling the wine, Li Qingqing’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if contemplating something…

At this time, Li Tangyu raised his cup and said to everyone,

“Come, a toast!”

“A toast…”

Everyone raised their cups and drank it down.

The wine, exceptionally mellow, also carried a unique fragrance emitted by some special Spirit Plant, different from what they usually drank.

Just then, Li Qingqing suddenly realized something and exclaimed,

“Oh…!”

“Li Tangyu, you actually stole the fine wine grandpa had stored away.”

“I really misjudged you, you look so refined and polite, yet you would do such a stealthy thing.”

Li Tangyu wasn’t bothered and laughed,

“Just wanted to try it…”

After saying that, still smiling, Li Tangyu looked at Li Qingqing and asked,

“And…”

“How did you know this is the fine wine grandpa had stored away?”

Li Qingqing’s face immediately turned red, and then, not daring to look at Li Tangyu, she turned towards the setting sun and sincerely said,

“Today’s sky is so beautiful…”

Clearly, she was feeling guilty.

Everyone else knew what was happening and exchanged knowing glances, then smiled together.

However, this was just a minor episode.

After finishing the wine, everyone began to eat and enjoy the food.

Until dusk fell and the sun in the west was about to fully set, and at the same time, the night in the east also enveloped the land.

Then, Li Tangyu stood up, refilling everyone’s cups with wine.

After filling the cups, Li Tangyu raised his glass, his expression solemn, and said to everyone,

“Everyone, I want to tell you something?”

“At this moment, Li Qingqing, holding a piece of Spirit Feather Chicken’s wing, was biting into it seriously.”

She looked up at Li Tangyu, then lowered her head and continued her battle with the chicken wing, mumbling,

“Speak, what is it?”

“Also, don’t be so serious all of a sudden; I’m not used to it.”

Lin Jing had also put down his chopsticks by then, looked up at Li Tangyu, wondering what was going on, as today’s Li Tangyu was unusually different.

Li Tangyu glanced at them and then solemnly said,

“I am leaving…”

That single statement was like a bolt from the blue.

Li Qingqing suddenly shivered, and the chicken wing fell down.

Then she stared at the chicken wing on the ground, stunned.

Moments later.

Li Qingqing came to her senses and then looked straight at Li Tangyu, saying,

“You are leaving? Where are you going?”

“Why don’t I know about this?”

A series of questions also voiced the confusion in everyone’s minds.

“I plan to leave the Nanming Domain…”

“To go out and see the world.”

Li Tangyu spoke in a very determined tone.

But Li Qingqing was becoming anxious:

“Where are you going to seek adventure that the Nanming Domain is not enough?”

“Also, do you want to go out, does grandpa know?”

Li Tangyu nodded:

“I talked to grandpa about this earlier, and he agreed.”

Then.

Li Tangyu looked toward the horizon, where the last remnants of the sun were also about to be swallowed by darkness.

Turning his head again, Li Tangyu’s eyes were filled with a strange light, drastically different from his usual self:

“The Nanming Domain is really too small…”

“I want to leave the Nanming Domain.”

“To go to the Eastern Spirit Realm, to explore the Western Demon Region, then visit the Northern Devil Region, and of course, not forgetting the Demonic Monster Sea.”

“This Cultivation World is too vast, I don’t want to spend my whole life confined in the Nanming Domain.”

“I want to venture out, to experience, to create everything I desire, rather than relying on the family’s backing and being an obedient family member.”

Li Tangyu’s words left Li Qingqing somewhat at a loss.

Since childhood, she had followed her brother, and the two had never been apart; although sometimes there were quarrels, the one who loved her most was still her brother.

Li Qingqing clenched her skirt tightly with one hand while biting her lip, looking down, she said,

“But…”

“It’s dangerous out there…”

Li Tangyu was very firm:

“I know, but I have made up my mind, no matter how difficult, I must forge my own path.”

Li Qingqing’s hand clenched her clothing was white from the strain.

Unwilling to give up, she tried to persuade Li Tangyu again:

“If you go, what about grandpa…?”

Li Tangyu lowered his head, looked at Li Qingqing, and said softly,
