Sage of Humanity-Chapter 737 - 735: Liuli’s Decision
Looking back now, Yiyi increasingly regretted not persevering on the path of a healing cultivator.
However, the path of cultivation is not easily altered, especially since she was now a cultivator of the Cloud River Realm; at most, she could only practice being a healing cultivator in addition.
She silently resolved that if she could make it back alive this time, she would definitely ask Second Senior Sister to teach her more about healing.
"Where's Liuli?" Lu Ye turned his head and looked around, but he did not see Ye Liuli.
Yiyi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Her mood was mournful, and she had no extra energy to pay attention to others.
In the thatched cottage, Little Miracle Healer was mixing medicinal ingredients while Ye Liuli stepped in.
As if expecting her, Little Miracle Healer didn't even look up, "You're awake?"
The question was oddly put, as Ye Liuli hadn't awoken from sleep or a faint.
"Sister," Ye Liuli called out softly.
If Lu Ye heard this, he would certainly be surprised.
Since arriving at Medicine Valley, Ye Liuli and Yiyi had addressed Little Miracle Healer as senior, so this sudden call of "sister" was undoubtedly abrupt.
What was more astonishing was that Little Miracle Healer showed no unusual response to it.
"Thank you, sister, for taking me in and caring for me. If not for sister, I might have disappeared long ago, and I couldn't have possibly awakened my spiritual intelligence." While speaking, Ye Liuli gave Little Miracle Healer a deep bow.
While continuing her task, Little Miracle Healer's gentle voice arose, "We're connected by fate, no need to thank me… Have you made your decision?"
Ye Liuli nodded, "Brother Ye Liu… he's done well, he's the person I've been waiting for, he will surely succeed."
Little Miracle Healer sighed, "I hope your obsession can be resolved."
"It will!" Ye Liuli nodded forcefully.
"Go then."
Ye Liuli crouched on the ground, bowed respectfully to Little Miracle Healer, then stood up, and with a smile, said, "Take care, sister!"
When she turned around, it was a farewell forever.
Watching in the direction of the door, Little Miracle Healer remained silent for a long time, her heart inevitably ending in a sigh.
In the cottage, Lu Ye was lying in bed, being fed medicine by Ye Liuli.
Thanks to Lu Ye harnessing the Heaven and Earth Force with that strike, thrusting into the Sky Ravine, the dependence of the Soaring Dragon World on the Blood World was weakened, and after the blood battle at Sky Ravine, Ye Liuli's condition had rapidly improved, showing no signs of her chronic ailment flaring up again.
"I can take these myself."
Being looked after like this, Lu Ye was somewhat unaccustomed.
Ye Liuli pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Before it was Brother Ye Liu who took care of me; now it's my turn to take care of Brother Ye Liu, this is..." She thought hard for a moment, "a favor returned!"
Yiyi, who was nearby, was amused, Lu Ye could not help but laugh as well, and Amber lifted its paw to cover its eyes, as if it couldn't bear to look.
Ye Liuli, annoyed, exclaimed, "Brother Ye Liu, sister-in-law is laughing at me!" The little girl's face was full of pouty anger, thoroughly acting spoiled.
Even if she no longer wanted to correct Ye Liuli's way of addressing her, Yiyi couldn't help but blush a bit each time she heard it.
She stole a glance at Lu Ye, who seemed unresponsive, as if he hadn't heard.
"Aren't you going to scold her!" Ye Liuli pouted and fed the spoonful of medicine into Lu Ye's mouth.
The bowl of medicine was quickly finished, and Ye Liuli set down the medicine bowl, gently wiped the corner of Lu Ye's mouth, and spoke softly, "Brother Ye Liu, let's go!"
Lu Ye, puzzled, asked, "Go where?"
"Anywhere," the little girl said with a longing and expectant expression. "I always stayed in Fengzhou before, but since coming out with you, I've realized how marvelous the outside is. Let's just walk around, take in the sights of various places, and try some famous local snacks. It's certainly better than staying in this thatched hut all the time."
As she spoke, an idea struck her, "Perhaps going out could even improve your condition?"
Yiyi, listening by her side, was initially inclined to stop them as Lu Ye was not in a state to travel about, but she swallowed her words after hearing Ye Liuli's last statement.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment, moved by Ye Liuli's words.
It wasn't that he found Ye Liuli's words particularly logical.
It was that he recalled these past few years, ever since being rescued by the Haotian Alliance from Evil Moon Valley and embarking on the path of cultivation, he had been constantly striving to enhance his cultivation, always outwitting cultivators from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge.
No matter how much he grew, he always felt it wasn't enough, constantly living with a pressing urgency on his mind and body.
His footsteps had trodden all over the Spirit Stream battlefield and he had traveled to many places in the Cloud River battlefield as well, but every place he passed through was filled with strife and slaughter.
He hadn't even had the chance to truly appreciate the beautiful scenery of these battlefields.
Even more so… within the Nine Provinces, he had never left the sect headquarters of the Righteous Blood Sect, not really experiencing the true essence of the Nine Provinces.
If he were to die like this, it would inevitably be a regret.
At life's final moments, although he could not admire the scenery of the Nine Provinces, taking a look at the Soaring Dragon World seemed... not bad either?
Perhaps his own deteriorating health had altered his mindset. Lu Ye suddenly realized, what was the rush in cultivation?
It was a pity that he hadn't thought of this before, but realizing it now was not too late.
"Shall we… go?" Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.
Saying they would go and then going, without telling anyone, that night Yiyi and Ye Liuli quietly took Lu Ye away from Medicine Valley. They started from the extreme north and headed south because Ye Liuli said that the south of Soaring Dragon was a place of scenic mountains and clear waters, a land of outstanding people and remarkable spirits, where the scenery was most beautiful.
A party of two people, one spirit, one tiger, left Medicine Valley like thieves.
In the following days, they traveled at an unhurried pace, entering the busiest cities of every place they visited, admiring the most beautiful scenery, leaving extremely wonderful memories all along the way.
For the convenience of Lu Ye's travel, Ye Liuli and Yiyi personally crafted a wheelchair for him. Once they were in the bustling urban centers, they would push him forward to observe all walks of life and taste the warmth and coldness of the world.
The previous war at Sky Ravine had a huge impact on the Soaring Dragon cultivation world but didn't affect the mortals much. Although many mortals had also heard some rumours, those matters were too far removed for them to intervene in.
Their lives completely depended on the cultivators' efforts. If the Soaring Dragon cultivators succeeded, they would live; if they failed, they too would perish.
One might say it was sad, but sometimes ignorance was also a kind of blessing.
Lu Ye felt an unprecedented calmness. After leaving Medicine Valley, he no longer considered matters of cultivation, which actually seemed to greatly enhance his state of mind.
Correspondingly, the condition of his body gradually worsened.
As the Little Miracle Healer had said, the world has its Origin, and so do people. His Origin was too significantly depleted, so no matter what methods were employed, it was difficult to replenish it.
The deterioration of his body made him increasingly sleepy, often falling asleep without any apparent reason.
Occasionally, when he woke up, he could hear Yiyi's suppressed crying.
Back in Fengzhou, inside the Tyrannical Saber Villa, Ye Liuli was pushing Lu Ye's wheelchair, walking in the familiar environment.
Though not much time had passed, this once-renowned villa across the province had already become dilapidated.
The night was charming. On the small island in the center of Saber Lake, Ye Liuli spread her arms wide, as if to embrace the entire stellar space, her cheerful voice rising: "Brother Ye Liu, do you still remember the things from our childhood?"
"Which one?" Lu Ye asked.
How could he remember his childhood? After arriving in this realm, the information he had was actually quite limited.
"You and big brother and second brother stole a scroll from father, not knowing what it recorded. Father found out and then hung us and beat us here."
Lu Ye imagined the scene, and couldn't help twitching the corner of his eye: "There was such a thing?"
Ye Liuli chuckled lightly: "I brought food to you, elder brother and second brother ate, but you, stubborn as you were, refused to eat. As a result, you fainted from hunger. Father was so scared, and since then, he never treated you harshly again."
Lu Ye listened quietly. He had never experienced the affection among siblings. However, now, listening to Ye Liuli's narrative and imagining such scenes, he found it quite interesting.
"Brother, what exactly was recorded on that ancient scroll?" Ye Liuli asked.
"I didn't see it, I'm not sure." Lu Ye shook his head, telling the truth.
"Okay…" Ye Liuli no longer pursued the matter, raising her hand gently, her tone becoming more ethereal: "The wind is rising."
The wind carried a killing intent; in the darkness, figures from all directions converged, quickly surrounding the small island.
Lu Ye's expression remained calm; Yiyi appeared indifferent, and even Ye Liuli showed no sign of panic.
The leader, a beefy guy, seeing this, instinctively felt a surge of foreboding, but with things having reached this point, there was no turning back.
"Xiong Tieshan?" Lu Ye looked at the beefy guy, immediately understanding who had come.
Sect Leader Xiong Tieshan of God's Will Sect!
He was also the one who had killed Ye Ying.
The war under the Sky Ravine, the entire Soaring Dragon cultivation world had been swept into it; no sect was spared, and God's Will Sect was naturally involved as well.
In that battle, God's Will Sect suffered heavy losses, nearly wiped out by the Blood Race, with Xiong Tieshan barely surviving.
These days he had been constantly uneasy because he recognized Lu Ye's identity. This person, who had shone brightly on the battlefield and could even be said to have single-handedly saved the young generation of the Soaring Dragon, was actually Ye Ying's sixth son!
How could this be tolerated?
He and Ye Liu had an unquenchable enmity of father killing.
After that battle, Ye Liu had clearly become the Savior of Soaring Dragon and was even a guest of honor among the Three Great Overlord Sects—such a person, if wanting to kill him, Xiong Tieshan, might only take a flick of his tongue.
Xiong Tieshan tossed and turned, unable to sleep more than once, thinking of striking first to kill Lu Ye.
However, the Medicinal Valley with its frequent cultivator traffic was not a convenient place to start.
Who would have imagined that Lu Ye had left the Medicine Valley so quietly and without hiding his tracks, thus giving him a chance.
He had gathered a group of men, trailed him all the way here, and could not hold back any longer.
"Indeed, it is I, Xiong!" Xiong Tieshan did not intend to hide, openly admitting it, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's as he stared at Lu Ye: "Ye Liu, hand over the Dragon Throne!"
