Chapter 405: Leaving Tianwai Village

Chen Jingchou thus began Guyue's trial for him in the Di Ren Zu Tribe.

A day's time passed by quickly just like that.

Inside Tianwai Village, Duan Fengyun got up early to prepare breakfast for Yuwen Tuo and Dan Yuwu, only to see Dan Yuwu already busy working away in the kitchen.

Seeing Duan Fengyun arrive in the kitchen, Dan Yuwu smiled and said:

"Mr. Duan, I was thinking that you and Tuo'er are leaving today. It has been eighteen years, and I have never cooked a meal for Tuo'er.

So I got up early this morning to make noodles for Tuo'er and you. My cooking skills are not as good as yours, sir, and I hope you will not mind."

Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"Not at all. I believe the noodles this morning will be the most delicious noodles I have ever eaten in my life.

Because these noodles are filled with deep maternal love.

Madam, I will not stay here to distract you; I will go see if Brother Yuwen is up."

After saying this, Duan Fengyun turned and headed toward Yuwen Tuo's room. Duan Fengyun pushed open the door and found Yuwen Tuo still wearing yesterday's clothes, sitting at the side of the table.

Seeing the expression on Yuwen Tuo's face, Duan Fengyun knew that Yuwen Tuo definitely had not slept all night.

Duan Fengyun walked over to Yuwen Tuo, patted his shoulder, and said:

"Brother Yuwen, I know your mood must be very difficult right now.

But your separation from Madam is only temporary. Once we have repelled the Demon Realm, you will be able to see Madam again.

To tell you the truth, the reason I had you take Madam away is because I saw something in Madam's physiognomy.

I previously learned a bit of simple face-reading from other seniors, so I can understand a person's physiognomy a little."

In order to comfort Yuwen Tuo, Duan Fengyun had no choice but to lie and claim he had learned face-reading, then told Yuwen Tuo about Dan Yuwu's original fate.

Upon hearing that Duan Fengyun had read Dan Yuwu's physiognomy, Yuwen Tuo immediately stood up and said:

"Big Brother Duan, tell me quickly, what did you see on my mother's face?"

Duan Fengyun thought for a moment and replied:

"I previously saw a mass of death energy and black energy on your mother's face.

The closer the black energy got to the death energy, the larger the scope of the death energy became.

If I am not mistaken, the black energy should represent the Demon Realm.

The more your mother came into contact with the Demon Realm, the more intense the death energy would become.

I suspect that before long, your mother would have perished because of the Demon Realm."

Every word of Duan Fengyun's reached into Yuwen Tuo's heart. Yuwen Tuo grabbed Duan Fengyun's hand and pleaded with a face full of desperation:

"Big Brother Duan, you must find a way to save my mother.

As long as I can save my mother, I am willing to pay any price."

Yuwen Tuo had only just reunited with Dan Yuwu with great difficulty. Upon learning of Dan Yuwu's physiognomy, Yuwen Tuo was incomparably terrified, and naturally, his hatred for the Demon Realm grew even more intense.

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"Brother Yuwen, didn't I just say that was before?

Now that we have brought Madam to Tianwai Village, more than half of the death energy on her face has dissipated, and the black energy on her face has also remained completely still.

I believe that as long as Madam stays here and is not discovered by the Demon Realm, she will be safe and sound. So Brother Yuwen, you must endure. Once we seal the Scar of the Sky again, you and Madam will surely be able to reunite."

After listening to Duan Fengyun's words, Yuwen Tuo nodded heavily and said:

"Alright, Big Brother Duan, I understand.

Big Brother Duan, you go out first. I will wash up, change my clothes, and come out."

Duan Fengyun nodded and turned to leave Yuwen Tuo's room.

At this time, the noodles Dan Yuwu had made for the two of them were ready. Dan Yuwu placed the noodles on the stone table, pointed toward Yuwen Tuo's door, and asked Duan Fengyun:

"Mr. Duan, how is Tuo'er doing?

As his mother, I know his personality too well."

Duan Fengyun smiled:

"It is nothing now. Brother Yuwen is washing up and will be out after he changes his clothes."

Dan Yuwu said to Duan Fengyun with a face full of gratitude:

"Mr. Duan, I am truly so grateful to you.

You have helped us mother and son too much; I do not know how to repay you."

Duan Fengyun said with a smile:

"Madam, you are joking.

Brother Yuwen and I are good brothers; his affairs are my affairs.

You and Brother Yuwen are also descendants of my master, so it is only right for me to take care of his descendants for him.

As for thanks, this bowl of noodles from you, Madam, is already enough. Didn't I say so before?

This bowl of noodles from you, Madam, will be the most delicious noodles I have ever eaten in my life."

While Dan Yuwu and Duan Fengyun were talking, the door to Yuwen Tuo's room opened with a thud.

Yuwen Tuo walked out of the room dressed in black martial attire, his face full of spirit.

Seeing Yuwen Tuo's demeanor, both Duan Fengyun and Dan Yuwu's faces were filled with smiles.

Dan Yuwu pointed to the noodles on the stone table and said:

"Tuo'er, come and taste this quickly. These are noodles I specially made for you and Mr. Duan.

My skills are certainly not as good as Mr. Duan's, so please do not mind.

Come, Mr. Duan, eat quickly, or they will not taste good once the noodles get soft."

Duan Fengyun picked a bowl with a smaller portion and sat down, pointing to the large bowl and saying:

"Brother Yuwen, what are you still standing there for? Come and taste the Madam's handiwork."

"The Madam made all of this by herself; I didn't help at all. Come and taste it quickly, don't let the Madam's good intentions go to waste."

Yuwen Tuo, who had been full of spirit, suddenly changed expression after hearing Duan Fengyun's words.

Yuwen Tuo walked slowly to the stone table and sat down in front of his own noodle bowl. Seeing the noodles in the bowl, Yuwen Tuo's eyes turned completely red.

Yuwen Tuo picked up his chopsticks, lifted a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, and immediately tears streamed down his eyes.

Mingled with the saltiness of his tears, Yuwen Tuo swallowed the bowl of noodles.

This was the first time he had eaten a meal made for him by Dan Yuwu, and it was the most delicious bowl of noodles Yuwen Tuo had ever eaten.

Duan Fengyun was also eating the noodles in large mouthfuls on the side, not forgetting to praise them while he ate:

"Madam, I said it before, this bowl of noodles of yours is the most delicious I have ever eaten. Brother Yuwen, how is it? Isn't this bowl of noodles from the Madam also the most delicious you have ever eaten?"

Yuwen Tuo nodded through his tears and said:

"Yes, the noodles Mother made are the most delicious noodles I have ever eaten in my life."

Looking at Yuwen Tuo, whose face was covered in tears, Dan Yuwu took a cloth handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the tears from Yuwen Tuo's face.

While wiping Yuwen Tuo's tears, Dan Yuwu said:

"When I was in the Otherworld, I often thought that once I got out, I would definitely cook a meal for my Tuo'er."

"For so many years, I have never cooked a meal for my Tuo'er."

"Tuo'er, you have grown up. You are a man now; you cannot forget the mission you bear because of family affection."

"You are a prince of the Yuwen family, you are a descendant of the Xuanyuan Huangdi, and you are the master of the Xuanyuan Sword. You must face the enemy bravely and shoulder your responsibilities."

"Tuo'er, a man does not shed tears easily. You must never let Mother down; Mother is always proud of you."

Yuwen Tuo stopped his tears, nodded at Dan Yuwu, and said:

"Mother, please rest assured, Tuo'er will definitely not let you down."

"I, Yuwen Tuo, will certainly not fail the Yuwen Imperial Clan or the name of being a descendant of the Xuanyuan Huangdi."

"I will definitely work with Brother Duan to drive the Demon Realm back to the Scar of the Sky and shatter their conspiracy."

Dan Yuwu nodded with satisfaction, then turned her head to look at Duan Fengyun and said:

"Mr. Duan, after you leave, I will leave Tuo'er to you."

"Tuo'er is sometimes too stubborn. I hope you can help me persuade him and keep him from doing anything foolish!"

Duan Fengyun nodded and said:

"Madam, rest assured. As long as I, Duan Fengyun, have a bite to eat, I will never let Brother Yuwen go hungry."

"You and Brother Yuwen must still have much to say. I will go wash the bowls first; you two continue."

Duan Fengyun picked up the noodle bowls and said to Yuwen Tuo:

"Brother Yuwen, have a good chat with the Madam for a while. Before we repel the Demon Realm, we cannot come to Tianwai Village again."

"After I finish washing the bowls and tidying up the kitchen, it will be time for us to leave."

"The Five Divine Artifacts are still missing the Fuxi Zither. The Demon Realm must be eyeing it covetously; we must go to Guyue Xianren as soon as possible to obtain the Fuxi Zither."

After Duan Fengyun finished speaking, he carried the noodle bowls away, leaving Yuwen Tuo and Dan Yuwu, mother and son, there to say their goodbyes.

Duan Fengyun returned to the kitchen and began to tidy up. Before he had been cleaning for long, Yuwen Tuo walked in.

Seeing Yuwen Tuo walk in, Duan Fengyun said with a puzzled look:

"Brother Yuwen, it hasn't been long; have you and the Madam finished talking already?"

Yuwen Tuo nodded and replied:

"We have finished. Mother told me to properly shoulder the responsibilities on my shoulders and not be delayed by personal feelings."

"Brother Duan, let's go once you are finished cleaning up."

"It is time to declare war on the Demon Realm."

Upon hearing Yuwen Tuo's words, Duan Fengyun quickened his pace significantly. He had originally intended to leave some time for Yuwen Tuo and his mother, but since it was like this, he would make it quick.

Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo, both dressed in martial attire, stood before Tianwai Village, and without looking back, they resolutely walked out of Tianwai Village.
