The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

The next morning, he bid farewell to his parents and younger siblings and embarked on his journey to the Tiangang Sect.

Before leaving, Ye's mother took out two sweet potatoes for him to eat on the way, but Ye Qingyang quickly waved his hand and refused.

“Mother, the Tiangang Sect isn’t far from here. I can’t eat this much by myself on the road. We don’t have much food left at home, so let’s leave this for my younger brother and sister. They are still growing.”

Tears welled up in Ye's mother's eyes again. How could she not know that this was her son's excuse? Besides, the road to Tiangang Sect was far from as easy as he made it out to be.

Ye's mother turned her head and wiped away her tears. Ye's father felt very bitter at the sight. He had worked hard all his life, but his wife and children had suffered because of him. Now he had to send his son to such a dangerous place. It was his incompetence!

He then said, "Take it! Qingyang, the journey ahead is fraught with danger, so you must be extremely careful! Since ancient times, people's hearts have been unpredictable. When you are alone in a foreign land, you must be very cautious."

Seeing his parents' reluctant expressions, Ye Qingyang knew they felt guilty and would worry if he didn't accept the money, so he reached out and took it.

Ye Qingyang knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to his parents, and then answered.

"Your son will be careful. I am unable to be here to fulfill my filial duties. I hope you two can take good care of yourselves. Your son is going far away and I don't know when we will meet again. You must take good care of yourselves."

Ye Qingyang kowtowed to the ground, his voice trembling with sobs, tears welling in his eyes. He was filled with immense reluctance.

Mother Ye covered her face with her sleeve, not daring to look any longer, afraid that she would rush over and hug her son and not let him leave. He had never left home since he was a child, and now that he was leaving such a far place in the suburbs, she didn't know when they would see each other again. The more she thought about it, the more reluctant she became.

Ye's father quickly helped Ye Qingyang up from the ground, his eyes filled with reluctance and helplessness. He dared not look directly at his son, his heart filled with reluctance and guilt.

Looking at his parents, Ye Qingyang could see their reluctance to part with him. He turned away and quietly wiped away a tear.

Then, he turned to his younger siblings beside him and gave them some instructions.

"Little brother, little sister, your brother is not here, you must take good care of our parents, and also take good care of yourselves."

Ye Xiaomei asked tearfully, "Brother, are you really leaving? When will you come back?"

Ye Qingyang bent down, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Little sister, I have to go. I'll come back when you grow up!"

Ye Xiaomei nodded, choking back tears, and said, "Brother, you can't go back on your word!"

Ye Qingyang agreed, "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely come back to see you!"

Ye Xiaodi ran over and hugged his older brother's leg, looking up at Ye Qingyang with teary eyes, sobbing as he said, "Brother... Brother, where are you going? Are you leaving us? Will I not be able to see you for a long, long time?"

Hearing his younger brother's childish words, Ye Qingyang squatted down, looked at him, and slowly said.

"Little brother, your big brother is going to a very, very far place. When you grow up, your big brother will come to see you. Be good, a real man shouldn't be a crybaby. You need to grow up quickly and take care of your parents and sister, understand?"

Ye Xiaodi sniffled and replied with a sob, "I won't cry. I'm a little man. I want to grow up quickly so that my brother can come back to see me. I also want to take good care of my parents and protect my sister."

Ye Qingyang nodded, got up and prepared to leave, afraid that if he didn't leave soon, he would miss it.
