"Servant Jiang Yuebai, the Internal Affairs Hall has issued an order that you will be transferred to serve Elder Lin Xiangtian in the Hedan Palace from today onwards. Leave immediately!"
Outside the blue brick courtyard in Huaxi Valley, Jiang Yuebai stared numbly at the seal of the Law Enforcement Hall on the gate. A flying sword from the Internal Affairs Hall came flying over, leaving an order.
The sky was about to brighten. Jiang Yuebai's eyes were red and swollen, and he looked down at the two things in his hands.
In her left hand is her servant token.
In the right hand is the wooden puppet given by Mo Baichun.
After a while, she fixed her eyes, clenched her hands, and ran out wildly.
The backyard of the Neiwu Hall.
Jiang Yuebai piled all the storage bags on his body in front of Hong Tao, leaving only the one containing Tao Fengnian's body and the pipe he never left.
Jiang Yuebai kowtowed heavily, "Uncle Hong, please help me!"
Hong Tao squatted down and helped Jiang Yuebai up. He already understood the situation. Even though he had certain authority in the Internal Affairs Hall, he was helpless at this moment.
"What I can do for you now is to let you leave Tianyan Sect without anyone noticing."
Jiang Yuebai raised his eyes, "Can I come back after leaving?"
"Tao Fengnian almost poisoned Jia Xiuchun to death. She wanted to eat you alive. Why did you come back?!"
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were stubborn. "I will never run away. I will avenge my grandfather with my own hands. If I can't do it in one year, I will do it in five years. If I can't do it in five years, I will do it in ten years!"
Hong Tao clenched his fist, "If you want revenge, you have to stay alive first!"
"I ran away this time, but what about next time? Will I run away again when I encounter trouble? Will I run away for the rest of my life? Running away is easy, but the hard part is getting over the hurdle in my heart. What's more, if I run away, I will be a traitor and I will never be able to come back."
There was a possibility that she would be hunted down for traitors, and she would be unable to deal with it, let alone come back for revenge.
"[Jia Xiuchun will never leave Tianyan Sect, do I have to wait for her forever?]! Grandpa said that even if the road is long, you will reach your destination if you keep walking, and even if the task is difficult, you can accomplish it if you try. I want to stay, and I want those who do evil things to pay the price!"
"You! Why are you so stubborn!"
Jiang Yuebai lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I'm not stubborn. I know what I'm doing. [I want revenge, but I won't spend my whole life doing it]!"
Leaving would be safe, but even if she could avoid being hunted down and wanted, how many years would she have to wait before Jia Xiuchun left the sect? During these years of waiting, she would have to think about this matter all the time, being dragged down in place, and it would be difficult for her to let go of her hatred and move on.
Although Mo Baichun saved her life, she didn't know this person at all. If she became her disciple, what would she do if she was unwilling to offend Tian Yan Sect for her, or even stopped her from taking revenge
So she wants to take revenge, but she can't spend her whole life on it, and she doesn't want to rely on others. Her grandfather hopes that she can reach the top of the world, and she must do it. For this reason, she is not afraid of any risk at the moment.
Just take a gamble, the worst that can happen is death!
Hong Tao stood up and paced around the room anxiously. After a while, he turned his back to Jiang Yuebai and sighed, "There is another way. It depends on whether you can endure the hardship."
Jiang Yuebai looked up and stared at Hong Tao, who turned around.
"The Yinshan Mine is full of Qi-training disciples who have made mistakes in the sect, as well as Qi-training casual practitioners recruited from outside. There are Jindan Zhenren guarding there, placing restrictions on the Qi-training disciples, and mining at a fixed quota every day. Once the quota is mined, the restrictions can be removed and they can return to the sect. If not, the time will be extended."
"Yinshan is a bitterly cold place, adjacent to the ancient Thunder Lake, with thunderstorms and cold winds all year round. If you can endure this hardship, I can find a way to put your voluntary transfer to the Yinshan Mine ahead of Jia Xiuchun's transfer order and send you to Yinshan immediately."
"Once you are in Yinshan, she won't be able to do anything to you for the time being, but we can't rule out the possibility that she will bribe people to hunt you down. However, she can only bribe the Qigong cultivators there. If you are really capable, just bide your time there and come back when you are strong enough [getting the Spiritual Farmer's Token is like having a life-saving talisman]."
"good!"
Jiang Yuebai didn't hesitate at all. As long as she could come back and come back openly, she was not afraid of anything.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The mineral veins in the Yinshan Mine are not abundant anymore. For this reason, the Qi training disciples are fighting overtly and covertly for their share. Unlike the sect, there is a law enforcement hall to manage it. There are only vicious and evil cultivators with no future. The Jindan Zhenren in charge will not interfere too much."
Jiang Yuebai frowned slightly and clenched his fists, "Thank you, Uncle Hong, for the reminder."
Seeing that Jiang Yuebai had made up his mind, Hong Tao sighed heavily, his eyes full of heartache, and couldn't help but curse Tao Fengnian inwardly.
Jiang Yuebai will eventually have to bear the grudges of Tao Fengnian. If he had known this would happen, he should not have sent Jiang Yuebai to Tao Fengnian.
"Remember, the world of cultivation is so cruel. Now that you have entered it, you must understand that when facing an enemy, everyone will choose to cut the grass and root it out to avoid future troubles. Only when the person dies and the soul is annihilated can there be no risk of failure. There have always been people who have managed to turn the tide while still having a breath. Others have done this to Tao Fengnian, so you should do the same to others in the future!"
Jiang Yuebai nodded silently and took Hong Tao's words deeply into his heart.
"Keep these things for yourself. Wait for me for a moment. I will personally take you to the Yinshan Mine."
Hong Tao waved his sleeves and left, and Jiang Yuebai quietly put away all the things.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Hong Tao finished processing the paperwork, threw a black cloak to Jiang Yuebai, and secretly left Tianyan Sect to avoid the surrounding eyes.
The path outside the mountain gate.
Xie Jingshan came riding on a crane, Jiang Yuebai stopped and pulled down his hood.
"Come back with me, I will keep you safe."
Jiang Yuebai took a step back and avoided Xie Jingshan's hand.
Seeing this, Hong Tao looked around and said, "If you have anything to say, please speak quickly. I'll wait for you over there."
"How do you know I'm leaving?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
Xie Jingshan said, "It was Lu Ying who told me that Tao Fengnian was in trouble and you might have to leave."
Jiang Yuebai's heart trembled, "Is she... okay?"
"I got hurt a little bit when I forced my way into the inner gate, but it's not serious."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, "Thank her for me, and I'll return this longevity pill to you."
"If I give it to you, it's yours. Why would you give it to me? Do you really want to leave the sect? If Lu Nanzhi comes back and finds out that I didn't protect you, he will definitely skin me alive."
Jiang Yuebai's face was calm. He pulled Xie Jingshan's hand away and stuffed the medicine bottle into his hand.
"I'm not running away. I'm just taking shelter in the Yinshan Mine. I'll be back in three to five years. It's a good thing I met you. How many spirit stones do you have? Lend them to me."
Xie Jingshan frowned and stared at Jiang Yuebai for a long time. He could not see any emotion in her eyes, as if the lively and bright Jiang Yuebai before no longer existed. All emotions were restrained at this moment, which made Xie Jingshan feel strange and distressed.
Sighing, Xie Jingshan took out the jade ring given to him by the old servant, took off the red string around his neck, put it on, and put all the spirit stones on his body into it.
"I only have these 30,000 low-grade spirit stones on me, and some books and jade slips in my ring. I'm lending them all to you. Remember, I'm lending them to you. If you don't come back to pay me back within five years, I will issue a world-wide tracking order. I will hunt you down and bring you back to my shop to work for you for the rest of your life, no matter where you are!"
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were covered with a trace of mist, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Okay."
Xie Jingshan stepped forward and put the red string on Jiang Yuebai, his nose felt sore and his eyes turned red.
“You… take care!”
Jiang Yuebai tightly grasped the jade ring on the red string, "Please tell Senior Sister Lu to save the tea for me. When I come back, we can drink it together."
After saying that, Jiang Yuebai turned around, stepped onto the Hong Tao Flying Sword, and left without looking back.
Xie Jingshan took two steps forward and shouted to the sky, "You must come back, or I will surpass you, you little bitch!"
In the empty valley and deep forest, the sound lingers.
The wind was strong at high altitude and it blinded my eyes.
Taking a breath to calm down, Jiang Yuebai said, "Uncle Hong, can you take me to the Nangu Market first? I want to buy some things."
Hong Tao nodded, turned around and headed straight for Nan Valley.
Jiang Yuebai only kept a portion of the 30,000 spirit stones and exchanged the rest for various things to fill the jade ring.
She wrapped the ring with talisman paper to conceal its spiritual energy and stuffed it into the sole of her shoe. She only kept two storage bags on her body, which contained some items that were consistent with her status and level of cultivation but were not particularly valuable.
No matter what the situation is in the Yinshan Mine, she must be cautious and not be targeted or arouse suspicion. Therefore, she must appear weak and hide her shortcomings as much as possible so that she has room to survive.
Passing by Xiancao Tower, Jiang Yuebai paused.
In the lobby, Du Zhong, with his white hair and beard, grabbed the white jade teapot, took a sip, and cursed at the waiter. He looked so comfortable and leisurely that it stung Jiang Yuebai's eyes.
"You're making a lot of noise when you buy things. Change your clothes and follow me."
Hong Tao urged, Jiang Yuebai withdrew his gaze and followed him away.
Hong Tao was experienced and took some effort to get rid of the follower. He had no complaints towards Jiang Yuebai and just kept reminding her of the things to pay attention to when they arrived at the Yinshan Mine. He also told Jiang Yuebai about his experience in fighting.
Traveling westward, Jiang Yuebai looked back at the Nine Mountains.
The sun rises, the clouds shine in all directions, the vast sea of clouds covers the mountains, and the road to the blue sky is invisible.
Jiang Yuebai swore secretly in his heart that he would go far away to Chaoyang today, but one day he would definitely return to Chaoyang!
After four chapters, he grows up, comes back, takes the exam to become a spiritual farmer, and seeks revenge. You can skip this chapter, but I recommend reading the two chapters about the diary!
