Chapter 97 An Unprecedented Level of Soul Power, Farewell and Return

It must be said that flying through the unobstructed sky is indeed much faster than flying on the ground. Of course, this is also due to the protection of two titled individuals, which allows them to move forward at full speed without restraint.

The moon had just risen when the four of them reached the edge of the town. They folded their wings and headed into the town.

After finding Rosago, the group found an open space next to the carriage, bought some ready-made food from the town, and had a simple celebration.

Well, this can be considered a farewell banquet. Tomorrow morning, the three of them will part ways with Dugu Bo.

Before the fire, Dugu Bo and Guang Ling clinked glasses, took a sip of wine, and looked at the two young people chatting and laughing beside them. Dugu Bo sighed, "It's so good to be young."

"You're not that old. You've regained your youth, haven't you? Judging from your appearance, you're just a middle-aged man. Well, if you include the lifespan you gained after being given the title, you're practically a teenager. If you're envious, you can always marry another one."

Perhaps because of the impending separation, Guangling's words were much less aggressive. Although she was still teasing, the intensity had decreased significantly.

"Tch, do you think everyone's like you, with a childlike face and a childlike personality?"

Dugu Bo's attack power has increased considerably.

"You probably just want to practice, don't you?"

Guangling's face darkened. "I've already let you go, why are you attacking me now?"

"Oh, don't mind it, I was just saying. I'll leave Yan Yan in your care once she arrives in Wuhun City. I'll take care of things here first."

Dugu Bo waved his hand casually and looked at Guang Ling.

"You don't need to worry about that. She's my apprentice's wife; I'll take care of her myself."

Guangling replied in a sarcastic tone.

"Didn't you refuse?" Dugu Bo glanced at him.

"Whether I agree or not is irrelevant. Your granddaughter has absorbed the soul bone. If she can still run away from Xiao Li, then I, Guang Ling, am utterly incompetent," Guang Ling said smugly.

"Damn it, neither of you, master and disciple, is a good person; your hearts are black."

Dugu Bo cursed under his breath.

"Hey, why are you resorting to personal attacks? We are the Spirit Hall, representing justice. On the contrary, you old codger have the worst reputation. We haven't even complained about you yet."

Guangling pursed her lips and replied in a neutral tone.

"Hmm, hmm, I have the worst reputation, but that's true. Heh, on the continent, the Spirit Hall is already considered pretty good. At least you guys do some work."

Dugu Bo smiled, no longer as resistant to the Spirit Hall as he had been at the beginning.

Now that we're already on the wrong path, what can we do but leave? Besides, Han Li and Guang Ling are to his liking, well, they're just a bit ruthless. Luckily, he's not a good person either, so we're all in cahoots and no one should look down on anyone else.

"Han Li is at level 34 and Yan Yan is at level 33. I still feel it's a bit unreal, especially since that kid is not even eight years old."

Dugu Bo changed the subject and came to the two young men, saying that he had a toothache.

"Yes, if I hadn't personally witnessed Xiao Li's journey to where he is today, I wouldn't have believed it either."

Guangling looked at Han Li with a mixture of doting and dreamy eyes, and uttered a voice that sounded like a murmur: "Tell me, I only took Han Li out for three months, and when we got back, he went from level 20 to level 34. How many people would be scared out of their wits?"

"Hahaha, it's good that you're scared. It would be best if that old bastard from Chrysanthemum Pass was scared to death."

Dugu Bo laughed heartily, forcefully clinked the wine bottle against Guang Ling's, and tilted his head back to gulp it down.

As night deepened, the group returned to the carriage one after another, and there was no further movement.

Perhaps everyone slept well the night before.

The next day, as dawn broke, they all woke up.

Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo huddled together, chatting about everyday matters, giving each other instructions on what to do next, and agreeing on how long they would meet again before returning to the dining table.

After a simple breakfast, it was finally time to say goodbye.

Dugu Yan couldn't hold back her tears and threw herself into Dugu Bo's arms. She had rarely been away from her grandfather since she was a child, and the longest she had ever been away was no more than a month. Now, the thought of not seeing him for at least half a year, and that she hadn't even left yet, filled her with sadness.

Han Li and his apprentice Guang Ling watched from the sidelines without stepping forward, as they couldn't get involved in such matters.

With Dugu Bo's comforting words, Dugu Yan finally calmed down and reluctantly crawled out of his arms, her eyes red as she walked to Han Li's side.

"Alright, you guys go ahead. I won't take the carriage; I'll fly back directly later."

Outside the carriage, Dugu Bo bid farewell to the three, indicating that it was time for them to depart.

"Alright, old poisoner, see you in Martial Soul City."

Guangling casually left behind a sentence, then turned and got into the carriage.

"Senior, see you in Wuhun City. I will take good care of Sister Yan."

Han Li, holding Dugu Yan's hand, assured Dugu Bo in front of him.

"Alright, I believe you won't make Yan Yan sad. Yan Yan, go on, it's time for you to leave Grandpa and go out for a while."

Dugu Bo smiled warmly, his eyes showing reluctance but also a smile and blessings.

"Yes, Grandpa, I know. Please take good care of yourself. Also, when you get back, please tell Lingling that I will be coming back, and you must give the letter to her personally."

Dugu Yan stepped forward and gave her grandfather a light hug, then emphasized a few more points before following Han Li onto the carriage, turning back every few steps.

Goodbye, senior.

Through the window, Han Li bowed to Dugu Bo again.

Goodbye then.

Dugu Bo stood by the roadside, watching the carriage gradually drive away from the town, getting further and further away.

Only when he could no longer see any trace of the carriage did he turn around, and amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, he summoned his wings and soared straight into the sky.

More than ten days later, at the gate of Wuhun City, a luxurious carriage, which had been gone for nearly three months, finally slowly drove into the city again.

"Is this Wuhun City?"

Having already recovered, Dugu Yan stood in front of the open carriage window, poking her head out and curiously looking around.

"Hmm, how is it? Not bad, right?"

Han Li responded with a smile.

"Hmm, so many Soul Masters. I've never seen so many Soul Masters gathered together before. And unlike in Heaven Dou City, where commoners avoid Soul Masters like the plague."

Dugu Yan glanced at the Soul Masters and commoners talking to each other and then withdrew her body.

"If you're interested, let's go out for a walk together sometime, and you'll understand."

Han Li put away the book in his hand, stood up and stretched. They were almost at the foot of Gongfeng Mountain, and they would have to walk up.

He had already asked his master, and he was allowed to take Dugu Yan up the mountain, but until Qian Daoliu gave the order, her activities were restricted to the designated residential area.

However, this is enough for now. It just so happens that he had originally planned to ask his master to let him and Sister Xiu'er move to the city together after he returned this time. He can settle it all at once when he goes back this time.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.

The three men stepped down from the carriage and bid a friendly farewell to Master Luo. They gave him a token of Han Li's identity and told him to come to him if he needed anything. Master Luo then happily took his leave.

"Let's go up the mountain. I'll show you where I'm staying now."

Han Li reached out and pulled Dugu Yan, who was looking around aimlessly, and led her up the mountain.

Along the way, he kept smiling and greeting the guards around him, and the guards responded with smiles and respect, and also noted down Dugu Yan's appearance.

As soon as he stepped into the residential area, he heard a familiar voice coming from ahead.

"Xiao Li, you're back."

Following the sound, Han Li looked ahead and saw Sister Xiu'er running towards him at high speed.
