Chapter 32: Disgusting Integrity
"What do you think?" Ye Luyao asked back.
"I'm asking you." Tang Yunqing frowned.
“…”
Ye Luyao looked at him for a while, pursed his lips and said coldly, "My despair is not enough to hold on to the day when you practice to the seventh level."
After hearing this, Tang Yunqing's expression slowly sank.
He wanted to tell her that the God of Courage believed him, why didn't she believe it?
Since she doesn't believe it, why would she propose to find the Dragon Court with him? He is carrying the Dragon Ball of the Sea, which is the hope of the rise of the human race, but he is willing to pay the price of his life to go to "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers" to practice hard. What is she mocking there? What qualifications does she have to mock?
There were a lot of things to say in my heart, but I stopped them all because no matter how well I said it, it was better to do it well, let alone what was there between him and Ye Luyao?
After snorting softly, Tang Yunqing closed his eyes and stopped talking. He thought about going out for training. At the same time, the carriage slowly moved on the street.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the gate of Tang Yunqing's yard.
When he walked off the carriage, the quiet surroundings made Tang Yunqing a little confused. Logically speaking, the neighbors knew that he would definitely gather in his house after he became the head of the Holy Academy, and listened to his mother showing off her and promoting her parenting lessons. But now the garden in his house was strangely quiet. He looked back at the seemingly ordinary coachman who was sent by the City Lord's Mansion and guessed something in his heart.
The city lord and the envoy of courage were unwilling to let him be exposed to the public's vision, one to protect him, and the other was because they wanted to expand his mystery and give motivation to those students of the Holy Academy who had just graduated, so that they could explore the truth about Weilan City and let them grow up as much as possible.
When Tang Yunqing speculated about this, Ye Luyao also walked down from the carriage and walked towards the main entrance of his house without saying a word. Tang Yunqing thanked the carriage driver and then followed her steps.
After the two walked to the door, they knocked twice, and Tang's mother's smiling face appeared in front of them.
"Come in, come in."
Tang's mother stood at the door, looked left and right, turned sideways and let the two of them enter. Then she closed the door as soon as possible, turned around and held Tang Yunqing's face, and smiled and narrowed her eyes and looked left and right, as if she wanted to see a flower on Tang Yunqing's face.
Tang Yunqing was ravaged by Tang's mother in front of Ye Luyao, feeling very embarrassed. She hurriedly grabbed her hands and frowned and said, "Mom, what are you doing? There are still outsiders here!"
"Oh! I just became a student and I had an idol burden? Yes, my mother gave you face, I will definitely give you face in front of outsiders, but Yao Yao is not an outsider, right?" As he spoke, Tang's mother stretched out her hand to hold Ye Luyao's hand, but Ye Luyao dodged. She avoided without any concealment, which made Tang's mother stunned, then withdrew her hand and smiled reluctantly, "I have prepared dinner for you, you can go and wash your hands and eat."
After the words came, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen. When she wiped Tang Yunqing, she grabbed his arm without a trace and pulled him into the kitchen. While walking, she asked Tang Yunqing, "What's wrong with Yao Yao, why did she suddenly change her personality?"
"Where has it changed? Hasn't it changed?" Tang Yunqing said, "She was like this. She had pleased you before, just to let you control and punish me. What do you think?"
"I thought you and her could be a couple!" Tang's mother sighed.
“…”
Tang Yunqing said indifferently, "Let's go for the next life."
“Hey…”
Tang's mother was a little embarrassed by Ye Luyao's attitude just now. After thinking for a while, she laughed again, "It doesn't matter. My son is now the head of the Holy Academy. I'm not afraid of not being able to find a beautiful wife. And now you have big things to do. You can put the small things about the love between children aside for the time being! Come on, work hard, mom is optimistic about you!"
“…”
Tang Yunqing didn't want to talk. Whose parents knew that their son became the head of the Holy Academy, but they were still thinking about these trivial matters of getting married and having children. Shouldn't they have a bigger ambition?
Tang Yunqing shook her head helplessly, walked out of the kitchen and returned to the bedroom to pack her luggage. When he finished packing his luggage and then arrived in the living room, Tang's mother had already served the food and sat on the dining table with Tang's father and chatted with Ye Luyao.
The main reason was that Tang's mother and Tang's father were talking, Ye Luyao was basically silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. Fortunately, Tang's mother and Tang's mother were both optimistic and could talk to each other, so there was no cold talk. However, when they saw Tang Yunqing coming, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After Tang Yunqing sat down, they immediately shifted the topic to him, and Tang Yunqing also took the opportunity to inform the two of them about the trip.
After hearing this, Tang’s father and mother expressed great concern about this matter. After seeing Tang Yunqing’s face showing embarrassment and vague words, they stopped asking in detail. Although the two were optimistic and cheerful, they were not stupid. The silence of neighbors made them realize many things.
Tang Yunqing was a little moved by Tang’s father and mother’s understanding, and a little guilty arose in his heart, but this matter is very important and he must keep it confidential.
After dinner, Ye Luyao went back to the room alone, while Tang Yunqing chatted with her parents in the living room until after ten o'clock before they went back to the room to rest.
When they got up early the next morning and came to the living room, Tang Yunqing saw Ye Luyao, Tang’s father and mother were already waiting on the sofa in the living room, and there were two leather suitcases next to them.
"What's this?"
Tang Yunqing looked at Tang's mother and asked while walking.
"They all eat something, I made it, and some bought it nearby. I don't know when you will be back when you go out this time. Take some on the way to satisfy your cravings." said Tang's mother.
"It's too much." Tang Yunqing subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw Tang's mother's earnest gaze, he held back and had to smile and said, "Okay."
"I originally wanted to pack some daily necessities for you, but I really couldn't hold them, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to take them..." In the next half hour, Tang's mother almost kept talking. If it were the usual, Tang Yunqing would definitely be a little impatient, but now is different from the past. The place he was about to go to was really dangerous, and life and death were unpredictable. So no matter how excessive care the Tang father and mother showed, he would choose to accept it.
Ten minutes later, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao finally walked out of the yard under the reluctance of Tang's father and mother Tang. The former was carrying a backpack and a suitcase in his hand, while the latter was leisurely and leisurely with both hands.
Walking from outside the courtyard gate to the street under the shade, and then to the end of the street, Tang Yunqing looked back at his parents from time to time, and seeing their reluctant waves, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet.
This time, there are many crises in the travel, the future is unknown, life and death are uncertain, and I don’t know when I will see them again next time, and whether there will even be a chance to see them again. When I think of this, Tang Yunqing couldn’t help but feel a little depressed.
After walking out of the boulevard, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao went straight to the public carriage, rented two fast horses and set off on the way out of the city.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the city gate and saw Kong Mubai and Muziqi standing at the city gate from afar. Tang Yunqing hurriedly tightened the reins and turned over and dismounted. Ye Luyao hesitated for a while, and also dismounted and walked to the two.
"Out of the city, Mu Bai and I can no longer protect you. The journey here is long, be careful of everything."
"I hope to see you again."
After hearing the two of them, Tang Yunqing solemnly bowed to them, "Thank you for your previous care, sir."
"Thanks."
Although Ye Luyao's tone was cold, he also thanked him.
Although she is proud, unkind, and even a little unruly, she will naturally feel grateful to those who truly help her.
Kong Mubai and Mu Ziqi waved their hands gently and went in the opposite direction.
Tang Yunqing watched them gradually disappear from sight, then he turned over and went out of the city with Ye Luyao. After walking out of the city gate passage, the two officially stepped onto the Avenue of Truth.
The moment he walked out of the City of Truth, Tang Yunqing almost instantly came out of that low mood, because he was now carrying the Sea Dragon Ball, which was the target coveted by thousands of sea clans, aquatic clans and mysterious demons. In the City of Truth, people from the City Lord's Mansion still needed to send people to protect his safety, not to mention that outside the city, he must always be focused and cautious.
As for Ye Luyao's expression, his body language was not changed, and he couldn't tell anything.
After leaving the city, the two of them walked northeast, and every hundred miles they would change a fast horse at the post station, hoping to reach Wanshui City as soon as possible. As for the money for changing horses, they had their own funds given by the city lord Qi Lin, so there was no need to be hurt.
While rushing to travel, Tang Yunqing thought about how to further study the Sea Dragon Ball and borrow it to speed up the cultivation speed, while on the other hand, he was thinking about how to ease the relationship with Ye Luyao.
He didn't like Ye Luyao, but the words that the God of Courage said to him were still heard, and the dangers ahead were clearly visible. Ye Luyao was his only partner on the way, and he could even rely on him. He didn't want her to lose at the critical moment.
Therefore, on the bored journey, Tang Yunqing took advantage of the situation to find topics to talk to Ye Luyao. Ye Luyao liked to ignore it at the beginning, but probably because Tang Yunqing's perseverance moved her, or because the words of the God of Courage touched her. Gradually, she also gave Tang Yunqing some kindness, at least no longer as tit-for-tat as before.
Ye Luyao's positive feedback made Tang Yunqing feel relieved. Although Ye Luyao said something desperate, in fact, deep down, he still believed that there was a glimmer of hope in him. After realizing this, Tang Yunqing's previous depression quietly dissipated a lot.
