Chapter 46

Standing at the back of the mountain, the firelight was flickering, and the noise was chaotic. The commotion had already drawn the people of the Han family over. With a bitter smile, Wang Chen did not linger for long, taking advantage of the pitch-black night, he swiftly moved forward, blending into the night in the blink of an eye. (Win call credits)

Returning to the small wooden house, it was already late at night, and everything was quiet. Without disturbing the others, he returned to his room and let out a long sigh of relief.

Suppressing his excitement, he immersed himself in cultivation. The previous burst of green light had consumed seven-tenths of his true essence, and he needed to replenish it as soon as possible.

In the early morning, sunlight filtered through the window, casting a golden glow over the room and bringing a warm feeling.

Waking up from his cultivation, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and stretched lazily.

A smile played on his lips. A new day was about to begin! More importantly, starting today, he would step into a brand new life.

After a quick wash, he walked out of the house. Looking at the tranquil surroundings, he sighed. After today, he would have to leave this place, and it was unknown when he would return.

He felt a sense of emptiness, as if he had lost something. With the farewell approaching, thinking about this place where he had lived for two years, and thinking about his elder brother and aunt who would be far away from him, he felt quite reluctant to leave.

Last night, his luggage had already been packed, a small bundle, not much stuff.

"Xiao Chen, are you up? Come, have breakfast!" The familiar voice of his aunt brought Wang Chen back to his senses.

Turning around, he walked toward the wooden house. Inside, everyone was gathered.

"Xiao Chen, are you ready to leave?" Wang Lin asked worriedly, looking at Wang Chen.

"Yes, it's time to go," Wang Chen nodded and said solemnly.

"We will also be leaving soon. If you have time, come visit us at the Li Huo Sect!" Wang Yan said with a serious expression.

During the meal, the group was reluctant to part, and they repeatedly instructed Wang Chen. The warm family affection made Wang Chen speechless, his throat dry and painful.

Finally, just before leaving, Wang Chen adapted slightly and quickly pulled his elder brother aside, carefully taking out a bottle of cold pond water he had collected the previous day and handed it to him.

Under Wang Yan's puzzled gaze, Wang Chen explained briefly, which left Wang Yan speechless.

The cold pond water, looking at the small bottle in his hand, Wang Yan swallowed hard. Such a good thing, Wang Chen had actually obtained it, and even gave him a whole bottle? Did he not know that a bottle of cold pond water on the market would cause a huge sensation and fierce competition?

Thinking of this, he wanted to refuse, wanting Wang Chen to keep it for himself, as it would be more beneficial to him!

It wasn't until Wang Chen took out another bottle of cold pond water that Wang Yan gave up.

Carefully putting the cold pond water in his pocket, a hint of excitement appeared on his lips.

Looking at Wang Chen, his eyes held a deeper meaning. This little brother seemed to have many secrets he was hiding! However, Wang Yan did not press further, believing that Wang Chen had his own reasons for not telling him.

Standing before Qingfeng City, it was finally time to say goodbye. Watching his elder brother and aunt leave, Wang Chen opened his mouth but only managed a forced smile.

"Xiao Chen, remember, a man of the Wang family has a proud and unyielding spirit, never bowing down to difficulties. I will be waiting for your good news at the Li Huo Sect!" Wang Yan looked deeply at Wang Chen and gave his final instructions.

"Kid, if you ever get tired of the Xingchen Sect, come to the Li Huo Sect, I'll protect you!" Dongfang Niu said in a rough and carefree manner.

Wang Lin, with tears in her eyes, looked at Wang Chen with deep reluctance, having long regarded him as her own son.

Watching the three leave, Wang Chen felt as if all his strength had been drained from him, standing dazed at the city gate.

It wasn't until a cool breeze blew past, bringing a chill, that he came to his senses.

"I won't let you down!" With a determined look, Wang Chen whispered to himself.

Turning around, he took quick steps toward the city.

Inside the city, it was still bustling with noise and activity. Following the main road, Wang Chen walked straight ahead. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly changed direction and quickly moved to the other side.

In no time, he arrived in front of the Han residence. Looking at the Han residence, he frowned and pondered for a long time, standing still, lost in thought. Two figures appeared in his mind: Tang Ming, with his sharp features and shrewd appearance, and Han Yuxuan, who gave off a cold and distant aura.

"Brother Chen, why are you here!" After a moment, a figure appeared at the gate, and upon seeing Wang Chen, his face tightened, asking in surprise.

He then quickly pulled Wang Chen to a secluded spot. "Why did you come to the Han residence? Those people are all eager to kill you for revenge!" The person looked at Wang Chen worriedly, glancing around to make sure no one had noticed, then let out a long sigh of relief.

"I'm leaving, going to the Xingchen Sect to cultivate. I came to see you!" Wang Chen smiled slightly, speaking softly to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming, his only friend in the Han family, Wang Chen couldn't help but come to see him before leaving.

"Right, the young miss said you were going to the Xingchen Sect, didn't she!" Hearing Wang Chen's words, a hint of envy flashed in Tang Ming's eyes!

For people like them, a sect was an unattainable height. Entering a sect meant a significant increase in status, meaning they were no longer in the same world.

"Congratulations, Brother Chen! Cultivate well, and when the time comes, I'll follow you and benefit from your success! When the Wang family is restored, let me know, I'll come and be your errand boy!" Then, as if thinking of something, Tang Ming's face lit up with a smile, looking at Wang Chen with anticipation.

He knew that Wang Chen's greatest wish was to restore the Wang family and return to its former glory. They had once made such a promise!

"Do you plan to stay in the Han family forever?" Wang Chen asked, frowning slightly.

Back then, he had thought about letting Tang Ming cultivate with him, even willing to share the body-strengthening technique given to him by his father. However, Tang Ming had no interest, claiming he had no talent and refused his offer.

"Hehe, I think this is pretty good. No need for scheming or fighting, just a peaceful life! Although there's no wealth or mountains of gold and silver, having enough to eat is enough!

Hehe, well, let's not talk about this. I'm waiting for you. Don't forget about me when the time comes. When the Wang family is restored, let me come over. We made a deal, I'll be your chief manager, and I can definitely help manage the family. Haven't you seen how well my grandfather manages the Han family? When the time comes, I'll make the Wang family surpass the Han family!"

Speaking of this, Tang Ming became excited, speaking with anticipation.

Hearing Tang Ming's words, Wang Chen shook his head with a bitter smile, not knowing what to say.

"I should go," Wang Chen said solemnly after a long while.

"Go, cultivate well, and when you become strong, remember to come find me!" Tang Ming said in a generous manner, hiding the bitterness at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Chen, his only friend, was now joining a sect. Would he still remember him in the future?

Yes, he would, they had made a promise to restore the Wang family together. He would be his chief manager, and then he would see what his grandfather had to say!

Thinking of this, he smiled foolishly, without the usual slick talk and cunning eyes, showing a hint of anticipation and hope.
