Chapter 606: Separating

During the evening, Xu Jin touched the left side of his handsome face. It was the pain of getting hit by her just now.

“Cough cough- that. I’m really sorry about that slap. However, that was really my first instinct.” Sima You Yue’s heart jumped when she saw him touching his face. This guy couldn’t be reneging on his promise, right?

“In any case, I have remembered this slap.” Xu Jin said, “You have yet to tell me how long you want to take leave for?”

“I want to head to the Ninth Star Ocean. Based on this, I should need a few months.” Sima You Yue replied.

“Ninth Star Ocean? Based on your current level of strength? Are you sure you don’t mean that you need a lifetime?” Xu Jin was wavering when he heard that she wanted to go to the Ninth Star Ocean. She was such a treasure that it would be a monumental waste if something bad were to befall her!

Even the vice principal and Ge Lang were rather apprehensive at her taking this leave of absence.

“You Yue, you want to go to the Ninth Star Ocean?” Ge Lang furrowed his eyebrows, “You should know how dangerous this is?”

“I’ve heard of the reputation of the Ninth Star Ocean long ago, but I won’t be going alone. Someone from the Violet Water Clan will be going with me.” Sima You Yue said.

“Violet water clan? How do you know someone from the violet water clan?” Ge Lang asked.

The violet water clan was not a small one from the ninth star ocean. Furthermore, it was not one that one could just casually get close to. It really caused one to wonder what was going on, and were worried about what in the world was going on.

“Teacher Ge, I’ve found the Black Sea Cucumber.” Sima You Yue said.

“You made a deal with them?” Ge Lang looked at her with disapproval, “The Violet Purple clan has the bloodline of the ancient divine dragon. They have always been high up there. If you fall under their control, would you…”

“Relax, Teacher Ge. I’m merely helping them to take a look at a sick person.” Sima You Yue said, “Wu La Li has not made things different for me either, he is merely going to let me take a look. They will bring me back here regardless of whether or not I can heal them.”

“Wu La Li? The prince of the Violet Water Clan?” Xu Jin asked.

“Should be the one.” Sima You Yue said.

She didn’t ask for Wu La Li’s background, and merely cared for his name. She didn’t care whether or not he was a prince either. However, she really did have the aura of royalty.

“Alright, I’ve decided. I will give you a year’s time. You better get your ass back here within a year.” Xu Jin said, “Alright, you can go.”

Sima You Yue didn’t expect Xu Jin to agree immediately upon hearing the mention of Wu La Li’s name. She couldn’t believe it for a second, and finally came back to her senses when she left the vice principal’s place. Xu Jin had actually given her a year’s time.

“Ol’ Xu?” Ge Lang waited till Sima You Yue had left before looking over at Xu Jin. He was clearly dissatisfied with his decision.

“I have heard of Wu La Li before. Within the spirit beasts, he can be considered to be more trustworthy. Since he has promised to bring him back, he will not renege.” Xu Jin said, “Furthermore, it will be good for him if he can get them to ingratiate themselves to him.”

“Are you not worried for his safety?” Ge Lang asked.

“He has already come back safely after a spin around the Devil Realm. Although the Ninth Star Ocean is dangerous, it is about as dangerous as the Devil Realm.” Xu Jin said.”Furthermore, he will go to the right to the violet water clan and back. He will be fine as long as he does not run wantonly around the Ninth Star Ocean.”

After saying this, he stretched lazily and said, “It’s late, and time for me to go back and sleep. Ol’ Ge, since you’ve interrupted a good time of mine, you know you need to compensate me later eventually?”

“Alright, you can go.” Ge Lang couldn’t be bothered to deal with him.

“Why do I have the feeling that I’m going to be ignored after this?” Xu Jin said.

“It’s not just a feeling. You can go now.” Ge Lang said.

“Alright, you’re so cruel.” Xu Jin huffed as he turned to leave the house.

Sima You Yue went to look for Wu Lingyu to see him chilling out in the shade.

She never seen him cultivate before, so why was he still so strong?

“Senior, I have something to tell you.” Sima You Yue walked over, took a chair and said while sitting beside him.

“It so happens that I have something to tell you too.” Wu Lingyu said, “You can go first.”

“I have requested for a year’s leave of absence from the sect.” Sima You Yue said, “I want to head to the Ninth Star Ocean.”

“The vice principal has just updated me about that.” Wu Lingyu wasn’t surprised.

She was the one who ended up surprised.

The vice principal had gotten the news to him so quickly?

“What about you, senior? What did you want to tell me?” She asked.

“I’m going to leave the sect soon.” Wu Lingyu said.

“Leave? Where to?”

Wu Lingyu sat up and said, “I came here to accompany you, but now that you are going to head into the inner sect, I cannot be there. That is why it is meaningless for me to remain here. It so happens that the Sage Pavilion has some issues that I have to go back to settle. That is why I am going to head back to the Sage Pavilion for now. Those oldies in the sage pavilion are barely strong enough, so it should not be a problem as long as you do not provoke anyone too powerful. So I’m not going with you this time.”

Sima You Yue nodded, “You should go ahead if you have something to attend to.”

“I will teach you how to set up this barrier. Next time, you can set up your own barrier when you enter the inner sect. Those old guys won’t notice a thing.”

“Is the barrier that powerful? It can even deceive those old guys?”

“Of course, this barrier is one I have learnt from the Sage Pavilion that has been passed down from ancient times, what other barrier can compare?” Wu Lingyu said, “This isn’t that hard. I’ll teach you. I’ll be leaving first thing in the morning, and you should get more practice after learning in order to set it up as you please.

“I got it.”

“Then, I’ll begin.”

As such, the night passed as the two of them were engrossed in the learning.

On the morning of the second day, Wu Lingyu left saying that he was going to look for the ice principal. Once Sima You Yue had pretty much grasped how to set up the barrier, he finally returned.

“Take this. If you encounter any issues in the ninth star ocean, take this and look for the Blackfish clan.” Wu Lingyu took out something that resembled a starfish and placed it into her hand.

“Remember that you are not alone. If something happens to you, remember to look for me or the Divine Devil Calley. Otherwise, look for those little birds. Do not take the whole world upon your shoulder, understand?”

Sima You Yue nodded.

“Head to the inner reginos quicker. That guy’s curiosity of you is going to shoot through the roof.”

“I’ll head over once I’m done with my studies.”

“I’m going off now. Remember to let me know if anything happens. You should know how to find me?”

“I got it. You should go.”

Wu Lingyu saw that she wasn’t reluctant for him to go at all, and sighed secretly. He pulled her into a hug before lowering his head to give her a light kiss on the lips. He only released her when she came back to her senses.

“When I’m not around, you are not allowed to get close to other guys. Not even if they’re just spirit beasts in camouflage.” Wu Lingyu nagged.

Sima You Yue rolled her eyes. She could only do that in reply to the kiss that he just sneaked.

Wu Lingyu was in a good mood when he saw that she did not rage as she used to, and stepped through the portal that he created.
