Bab 477: Departure

I had no news about Gu Nian when I departed.

My little uncle, Qu Hao, Mai Qi, and Jing Ni, came to see me off. Behind them stood my group of four with red eyes.

I didn't tell the old master and Auntie Lan because it would only make them sad. I hugged everyone and said goodbye.

My company was Su Qian, Su Shen, and Xiao Yi. Ma Ji was my guest, and she brought her 'vessel', Tong Yan, who was covered from head to toe with a black cloak.

We departed to the wide world. This trip could last for three years... or perhaps for life.

I finally cried when there were white clouds outside the porthole. I cried until I was tired and fell asleep.

I kept running in my dream. I was very tired but I couldn't stop running. I was chasing the light before me. I was unhappy in my dream. However, I kept running so I wouldn't focus on my unhappiness.

I was exhausted.
