Chapter 48: Departure
Li Lang instantly glanced over at the source of the voice calling out his name. He spotted a figure sprinting toward him from the main road. After channeling some Qi into his eyes, he soon recognized the youthful face attached to the body of an adult.
He exchanged a glance with Wei Ping before he directed his Skyrunner back down onto the clearing.
Once they landed, the two kids watched as the man approached. By the time he arrived, he was heaving for air while leaning against the Skyrunner.
“Long Yi, what are you doing out here?” Li Lang asked. “And how did you know it was me?”
The man, or more accurately, the young boy with the appearance of a man, took a moment to catch his breath before he replied.
“Everyone…everyone in the sect is gossiping about how you got banished. It’s not hard to keep an eye out for a bland-looking mortal-grade Skyrunner.”
“So…Is there something you need from me?”
“Yeah, let me join you on your trip!” Long Yi declared with a bright smile.
“What? Why would you want to do that? What about the sect?”
“I quit the sect as well. That place is too dull and stifling for me! It seems way more fun traveling with you. I was hesitant about quitting before when I had nowhere to go, but hearing how you chose banishment inspired me to take a leap of faith.”
“And they just let you quit, just like that?”
“No idea. I didn’t bother informing them. I just tagged along with a senior heading this way because I knew you’d come here first.”
