After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 424 Five Good Youths

"By the way, when did Qiqi leave?" Shen Xu asked when he saw the three women fall silent.

"Seven Seven had the idea of ​​going back shortly after you went to the Feather Clan Temple. I took her to explore other parts of Heavenly Sword Mountain and then sent her back," Bai Lu replied softly.

"I finally managed to bring her into Tianjian Mountain, but I didn't even get to show her around properly." Shen Xu sighed softly.

"Don't worry, you should see each other again soon," Bai Lu said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Shen Xu couldn't help but ask, somewhat puzzled.

Bai Lu revealed a slightly mysterious smile. "Do you remember the Seven Waves I told you about? Now that you have time, come back to the Heavenly River Sword Sect with me to participate in the Heavenly River Tide!"

What is the connection between the Milky Way tidal bore and the seven-layered waves?

He had heard of the Heavenly River Tide in his previous life. Every three years, on the night of the full moon at the end of summer, the Heavenly River, under the influence of the sun and moon's tides, resonates with the remnant soul of the dragon, causing a three-day-long celestial phenomenon.

But by the time he had the means to see it, the Milky Way was already gone.

"The Heavenly River Tide is a magnificent spectacle that occurs every three years in the Heavenly River. Each time the tide comes, the Heavenly River Sword Sect invites powerful figures from various sects as well as righteous cultivators to come and watch the tide. It is considered a major event for the Heavenly River Sword Sect."

The key to understanding the Seven Waves lies largely within the tides themselves.

"Miss has already invited Qiqi to watch the tide, which is why she said you and Qiqi will meet again soon," Guanbi explained.

"Then I'm going!"

When he first went to the Tianhe Sword Sect to use the teleportation array, he never got enough of the Tianhe River.

Now that he has the opportunity to experience the true power and surging of the Milky Way, he naturally will not give it up.

"There's still some time before the Milky Way tidal bore. I'll let you know when it's time," Bai Lu said with a smile.

"Why wasn't I invited?" Li Xiaoyi asked coldly.

"I remember asking Xiao Yi if you wanted to go, and you said you didn't have time."

"You're not going to go back on your word now, are you?" Bai Lu's lips curled into a sneer of triumph.

Li Xiaoyi's expression changed. She really didn't have time; she needed to retrieve the last Hanxu Jade Pendant herself.

She had originally planned to invite Shen Xu to go with her, but given the current situation, Shen Xu would definitely choose to see the Milky Way tidal bore.

That alone is not enough to worry her. What she fears is that Bai Lu will take advantage of the situation and want to go to the Green Bamboo Mountains with Shen Xu. After all, they have already returned to the Heavenly River Sword Sect, so there is no reason for Shen Xu not to go back and take a look.

However, the Sword Alliance's decision was not something she could change on her own, and she had agreed to it beforehand.

"Shen Xu, will you take this opportunity to return to the Green Bamboo Mountains?" Li Xiaoyi asked.

"Now that I've returned to the Tianhe Sword Sect, I naturally want to go back and take a look."

Xiao Yi, do you really not have time? That's a real shame.

I've heard the Milky Way tidal bore is incredibly spectacular; if you miss it this time, you'll have to wait another three years.

Shen Xu's words made Bai Lu grit her teeth in anger. She had reason to suspect that this bastard was deliberately trying to provoke her.

"Since you've put it that way, it would indeed be a shame if I didn't go."

"Since I don't need to take care of my own business right now, I'll accompany you to take a look!" Li Xiaoyi said with a light laugh.

Even if she went to Hanxu Jade Pendant, it would only be icing on the cake. But if she missed this opportunity to go to the Green Bamboo Mountain Range, it would be extremely difficult to get Shen Xu to take her there again.

"That would be perfect. Bai Lu, why don't you ask Xiao Zhi if she has time? It wouldn't be good if we all went and left her behind," Shen Xu said thoughtfully.

"Fine! You want everything neat and tidy, huh? Well then, I'll give you a neat and tidy look!" Bai Lu said through gritted teeth.

"Guanbi, let's go!" Bailu said coldly and left the wooden house.

Guan Bi gave Shen Xu a deep look before following Bai Lu out of the wooden house.

Seeing that Bai Lu and Guan Bi both looked a little angry, Shen Xu was puzzled.

If they all go, it would be inappropriate to leave Ye Zhi behind.

Could it be that Bai Lu didn't want to invite Ye Zhi? If so, why? What did Ye Zhi do to offend Bai Lu?

After Bai Lu and Guan Bi walked away, Yun Yao floated out impatiently, "You brat, you did that on purpose, didn't you!"

"Sister Yunyao, the prejudice you hold against me is a mountain."

I simply didn't want everyone to miss such a spectacular natural sight; how could it be intentional or unintentional?

"Have you thought about what you would do if Bailu didn't take you there?"

"It only happens once every three years, and she's really angry this time," Li Xiaoyi asked.

“She won’t; that was part of the previous deal,” Shen Xu said softly.

Li Xiaoyi immediately glared coldly at Shen Xu. She had every reason to believe that Shen Xu might treat her the same way he treated Bai Lu in the future.

Perhaps because her cultivation level is now behind Shen Xu's, she no longer speaks with the same confidence as before.

It seems she needs to improve her cultivation level, otherwise her sword will have no deterrent effect on Shen Xu.

"Young Shen, how exactly did you get into the Feather Clan's Holy Temple?" Yun Yao couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked.

Upon hearing this question, Shen Xu immediately understood that Yun Yao must know about the Spirit Realm and that Spirit Devourers were forbidden from entering it.

But he wasn't going to tell Yun Yao the truth, and besides, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"We just went straight in, it wasn't difficult at all!" Shen Xu said, feigning doubt.

"Kid, you're lying to me, aren't you! Don't think I can't do anything to you just because you're a Soul Devourer. You're still too green!"

Thinking of the stinging pain between his brows in the Blood Central Realm, Shen Xu immediately explained, "It's not that I'm telling you, Sister Yun Yao, but it's a very important matter, and I can't say anything!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you lie to me? Would I force you to tell me?"

"I'm telling you, Shen boy, from now on, you're not allowed to lie to me, or even to Xiao Yi, understand?"

"Young man, remember your sister's teachings," Shen Xu said respectfully.

Li Xiaoyi frowned slightly as she listened to the conversation between Shen Xu and Yun Yao.

Both Shen Xu and Yun Yao were people she cared about deeply, yet they were now openly discussing a secret that only she knew nothing about.

Yun Yao's spirit crossed her arms and floated in front of him with a cold face. "Just agreeing is not enough. You can't just agree verbally and then forget my words when things actually happen."

"Sister Yunyao, don't worry. I'm the kind of person who always corrects my mistakes. I will definitely turn over a new leaf, start anew, and aspire to be a model youth of the True Origin Continent."

Yun Yao looked at Shen Xu with some surprise. How come she had never noticed that Shen Xu had this side to him before?

So he smiled and asked, "What are the five qualities of a good youth?"

“Of course, it’s a good foundation, a good Dao heart, good character, good fortune, good opportunities, and good cultivation,” Shen Xu answered without hesitation.

"Pfft!" Yun Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and even Li Xiaoyi's expression looked a little strange.

"How can you, a model youth, have six good qualities? It's already rare for an ordinary cultivator to have one or two of them. You want to have all six? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?" Yun Yao couldn't help but tease.

"Sister Yun Yao, you are mistaken. Just as you said, it is already quite remarkable for ordinary cultivators to be able to occupy one or two of these positions."

Therefore, the "Five-Good Youth" I described is just an ideal model for me.

Although I may never reach this standard, that doesn't stop me from constantly moving closer to it.

"High mountains are to be admired, and virtuous conduct is to be followed; though we may not reach them, our hearts yearn for them."

Shen Xu looked out the window at the starry sky, his gaze deep and far-reaching.

It's unknown whether he'll ever be able to return to Earth in his lifetime, as that's his true home.

However, the void is so vast, perhaps one day he will be able to find that blue planet.

When Li Xiaoyi and Yun Yao saw Shen Xu's gaze, they also withdrew their previous stares.

They suddenly sensed a loneliness in Shen Xu that transcended the world.
