Chapter 629: Big Brother, Wait for Me

As the members of the Dao Yi Sect fled, the whole island fell into chaos, and all the villagers set off in pursuit.

While standing outside the tree house, watching the direction Ye Zhangqing and the others had gone, Shan Hu could no longer hold back, and big tears finally fell at that moment.

He lowered his head, gritting his teeth tightly.

He really wanted to go out and see the world with Ye Zhangqing, but he couldn't bear to leave his grandfather.

So just now he put on a calm act, only he himself knowing how much he wished he could go with Ye Zhangqing.

Just as this kid was sobbing, a large hand firmly pressed down on his head, and the refined gentleman's voice came.

"If you want to go, go. Your big brother is a fine fellow; following him, I can rest easy."

"But......... but.............."

Hearing this, Shan Hu fought back tears and lifted his head, knowing what he was about to say, the refined gentleman smiled and interrupted.

"These old bones of mine aren't that fragile yet."

Saying this, the refined gentleman's gaze softened; he had long treated Shan Hu as his own grandson.

Having lost his wife and children, to Shan Hu he was also the only family left in this world.

Earlier, not letting him leave was also out of worry that he would suffer a loss.

What the outside world is like, the refined gentleman knows all too well—scheming and deceit, even between dao partners betrayal is possible.

Shan Hu is pure by nature, never having experienced the ugliness of humanity; if he went out alone and got sold, he'd probably still be counting the money for the buyer.

But Ye Zhangqing and the others are different; the refined gentleman could clearly sense the deep affection among them.

Whether between dao partners, master and disciple, or fellow senior brothers, the members of the Dao Yi Sect all have genuine feelings.

Their playful teasing is also a manifestation of deep feelings; letting Shan Hu follow such a group, the refined gentleman can rest easy.

Seeing Shan Hu still hesitating, the refined gentleman smiled and said.

"Go on; in life, if you want something, you must seize it with all your strength. Go see this outside world—grandfather will always be waiting for you at home."

Faced with the refined gentleman's encouraging gaze, Shan Hu's inner excitement could no longer be suppressed.

He rubbed his nose, then nodded heavily and said.

"Then I'm going."

"Go, follow your big brother and go see this outside world together."

"Mm."

He hugged the refined gentleman tightly, then Shan Hu hurried off after Ye Zhangqing and the others.

"Grandfather, I will definitely come back."

Hearing Shan Hu's farewell, the refined gentleman's face showed a relieved smile.

In the blink of an eye, this kid has grown up so much.

"Go, do what you've always wanted to do."

Shan Hu burst into a smile through tears; although his face still bore tear tracks, his eyes were full of excitement and anticipation for the future.

Meanwhile, having rushed all the way to the Starship, with spears still flying behind him, Mo Yun urged anxiously.

"Quick, quick, quick, launch the ship, set off, set off."

He couldn't wait even a second; seeing this, Qi Xiong immediately activated the Starship.

As Spirit Stones were fed in, the Starship slowly lifted off; at this moment, the villagers in the forest had already rushed out, spears in hand.

Seeing this strange thing already airborne, the villagers became completely frantic, each shouting and roaring, wildly hurling their spears at the Starship.

However, Hong Zun had prepared in advance, already activating the Formation first; these spears could not inflict any damage on the Starship.

"Come on, hurry up."

Mo Yun was still urging, while the Capture Dragon guys beside him were somewhat speechless.

"I say you're overreacting; it's already flying—what are you still afraid of?"

"I......... I'm afraid......... holy shit.........."

Mo Yun had just opened his mouth—he didn't want to stay here even a second longer—but as the words reached his lips, he saw from the forest below a black shadow leap up and lunge straight at the Starship.

"Oh oh oh oh oh............"

Damn, upon a closer look it's actually the old village chief.

This old woman, with loess piled up to her head, where does she get such explosive power?

Seeing the old village chief drawing ever closer to the Starship, Mo Yun panicked completely.

"Stop her, stop her..........."

It was like seeing a ghost, especially that wide-open mouth, with a few teeth still left in there, making Mo Yun's scalp go numb.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Yu Mo personally stepped forward and struck the old village chief down with a palm.

However, she wasn't hurt; instead, she was safely sent back to the ground.

Holy shit, my soul almost got scared out.

Watching the old village chief being struck down by Yu Mo, Mo Yun, heart still pounding, plopped down on the deck; that instant was absolutely the most terrifying thing he had ever experienced in his life.

Even the countless life‑and‑death crises he faced in his youth weren't as terrifying as this; it's practically become his nightmare.

For the moment things were safe, while Ye Zhangqing stood on the deck, as if waiting for something.

"What, you're waiting for your little brother?"

Bai Hua Xianzi and Jue Ying stood beside him, smiling as they spoke.

"Since you can't let him go, why didn't you invite him along earlier?"

"Some things, after all, have to be decided by oneself."

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing shook his head.

Watching the Starship fly higher and higher, yet still seeing no sign of Shan Hu, Ye Zhangqing let out a soft sigh.

Looks like he still can't let it go, huh? Maybe this is fine too.

He was about to return to the cabin when suddenly another figure leapt up high from the forest below, lunging straight for the starship.

"Holy shit, here you come again, you old hag, you're bullying people too much!"

Seeing this, Mo Yun was startled, jumped up quickly, and assumed a posture ready to fight to the death.

But when he saw that the person coming wasn't the village chief but Shan Hu, he let out a sigh of relief.

As for Shan Hu, he waved at Ye Zhangqing with an excited face and shouted.

"Big brother, wait for me."

Seeing it was Shan Hu, Ye Zhangqing also smiled, opened the formation, and let him board the starship.

"Big brother, I'm here."

"I've figured it out."

"Hmm, Grandfather also let me come; I want to venture out into the world with big brother."

"Good."

Ye Zhangqing patted Shan Hu's head and laughed.

After Shan Hu boarded the starship, it quickly disappeared into the night.

The villagers on the island below roared angrily at the sky, unwilling to accept it, while the village chief stood frozen in place, staring at the direction the starship had vanished.

His eyes full of reluctance, unwillingness, and shame, not knowing what he was thinking, he remained silent for a while; then, looking at the motionless village chief, some villagers stepped forward worriedly, but after just a few words of comfort, they saw the village chief approach the refined gentleman.

He cried out a couple of times, but after hearing the village chief's words, the refined gentleman's eyes widened instantly, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

You... you... you... are you serious?

With a look of having seen a ghost, he said to the village chief, "What the hell are you trying to do? Is that really necessary?"

The village chief, however, nodded heavily, his eyes full of determination, showing no regret whatsoever.
