Chapter 111: Chapter 111 The Boy Who Wants to Leave

Accompanied by Xiao Hei, Lu Chen returned to the valley once again.

The group of young men, upon learning that Heavenly Book Academy might undergo a drastic change, all fell silent.

"Big Brother Chen, can we... really not go back?"

One of the young men asked.

Lu Chen turned to look, this was a boy who usually didn’t talk much either.

He nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Huang, if you want to go back, I will not stop you. But truly, I don’t plan to return."

Lu Chen expressed his own stance, that he would not make decisions for these young men.

Xiao Huang fell silent, his fists involuntarily clenched, and his body trembled slightly as if a bit reluctant.

"Xiao Huang," Xiao Lin stood up and said, "We all listen to Big Brother Chen, if you have any ideas, just share with us!"

Xiao Huang raised his head, his youthful face displaying a hint of excitement.

"Brother Lin, you all have family backgrounds, but I am just an ordinary person! If you don’t study at Heavenly Book Academy, you will still have good prospects in the future! I can only practice martial arts at Heavenly Book Academy so that..."

He didn’t finish his words because Xiao Huang had already begun to sob uncontrollably.

Lu Chen also came to a realization; martial arts were held in high esteem in the Great Qin Empire, and most people would choose martial arts practice first.

Only if one could not walk the path of martial arts would they consider other options.

Heavenly Book Academy was the top academy in the Great Qin nation. If one could successfully graduate, their future was boundless!

Not to mention the remote chance of breaking through in martial arts and stepping onto the Immortal Path, at the very least, they wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing in the future!

After all, it all came down to seeking a means of survival!

"Xiao Huang, don’t be anxious. Big Brother Chen said that Heavenly Book Academy is very dangerous. If you go back and something happens, what will you do?"

Xiao Lin hurriedly came up to persuade.

Xiao Sun also said, "Yeah, we should wait until the recent weakening of the Abyssal Prohibition before we decide!"

Xiao Huang’s tone gradually turned cold as he said, "If Heavenly Book Academy is dangerous, then why didn’t Prince Zhan Tian come with us?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn’t help but frown.

He understood Qin Zhantian’s thoughts; to avoid dragging him down, Qin Zhantian chose to cut ties with these people and for Lu Chen’s sake, remained within Heavenly Book Academy!

Lu Chen had thought about rescuing him.

But in the end, he had not made that decision.

Even he himself had barely managed to escape from Heavenly Book Academy!

If it were not for the Medicine Elder’s regard for the father-son relationship with Zhao Chang, thinking that he could only let Lu Chen pass a message, he might be trapped in Heavenly Book Academy right now!

He shook his head and sighed, "Xiao Huang, sometimes, one’s fate is not in their own hands. I’ll say it again! If you want to return to Heavenly Book Academy, I won’t stop you! Likewise, I have only one request, and that is not to reveal the location of this valley!"

Xiao Sun said urgently, "Xiao Huang, don’t go back, listen to Big Brother Chen!"

The other young men also said, "Xiao Huang, what’s not good about staying with us? In my opinion, staying here to cultivate is also a good choice!"

They were all talented youths; apart from practicing martial arts, they also often needed to consolidate their learning, and in the Abyss, they could always go out to hunt and practice on demon beasts.

Naturally, none of the young men wanted to leave.

But in their hearts, they still feared that Xiao Huang might reveal their location.

After all, his vision was not as long-term as theirs.

This was something determined by their different backgrounds and circumstances at birth.

Lu Chen did not press the issue, nodded and said, "Then if you wish to leave, you may do so at any time."

Having said that, he took Xiao Hei to a corner of the valley, "Xiao Hei, get used to it first, eat these demon pills to cultivate, and I’ll give you something good later!"

He had originally planned for Xiao Hei to break through at Heavenly Book Academy, but unexpectedly, they ended up staying in the valley.

Fortunately, after entering the valley, Lu Chen let Xiao Hei down, and the group of young men did not know that a black Jiao snake would stay here.

Lu Chen also feared scaring them, and Xiao Hei, being astute, did not make a sound, but only rubbed Lu Chen’s hand to show understanding.

Lu Chen patted its head and said in a low voice, "Rest easy here, don’t frighten them. I have to focus on cultivating myself now, striving to reach the Qi Refinement Realm before the Abyssal Prohibition weakens!"

With nothing else to distract him, Lu Chen went straight into the wooden hut and told Mu Xiao that he would be repeatedly going out to hunt and cultivate.

"Lu Chen, do you plan to keep these young men here?"

The Night Spirit Pearl was placed on the table, and under the glow, Mu Xiao appeared to be pondering something.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Except for Xiao Huang, the others will stay. Sister Mu Xiao, if you can, maybe you can give them some guidance later."

Mu Xiao arched an eyebrow, "Xiao Huang? The youngest one?"

"Yes," Lu Chen nodded and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. His ideas may be different. As long as he doesn’t reveal the news about the valley, he’s free to go wherever he pleases."

Mu Xiao said with profound meaning, "Lu Chen, how do you know he won’t reveal the valley’s whereabouts to others?"
