"Heh heh, take good care of yourself. Mighty General can be trusted. He's very formidable, and ordinary enemies are no trouble for him at all!" Wei Zhao nodded at the eldest young lady and said.
"Mmm..." Gu Mengyao knew that everything Wei Zhao said was the truth. She could hardly keep blocking the doorway to stop him from leaving, so she could only pull Little Shu aside with her. Yet in her heart, she was so very sad!
Wei Zhao slung the pack onto his back, stepped out of his room, and strode to the villa's front door, but his footsteps paused for a moment...
He too felt a pang of sorrow. This was the assignment he had been most reluctant to leave, and the one he had most failed at!
"Brother Arrow!" Shen Yushu suddenly called out to Wei Zhao.
"Hmm?" Wei Zhao turned his head and looked at Shen Yushu. "What is it, Little Shu?"
"Once your strength has recovered, will you come back? Come back to the villa?" Shen Yushu asked.
"If my strength recovers to a level higher than before, then I'll come back!" Wei Zhao nodded and said.
But Wei Zhao knew this would be very difficult; he said it only to comfort Shen Yushu. External martial arts and internal martial arts are not the same. Once external skills reach a certain level, a limit bottleneck appears, and breaking through that limit bottleneck is a hundred times harder than breaking through the bottleneck of internal skills.
If one wishes to practice external martial arts until one's strength surpasses what one had before, one must at the very least reach the strength of the middle Profound rank!
"Mmm!" Shen Yushu nodded. "Then it's a promise! If your strength recovers to something even higher than before, you have to stay in the villa forever and ever, and keep me and Sister Yaoyao company!"
"It's a promise!" Wei Zhao nodded with a smile.
"I want to pinky-swear!" Shen Yushu ran over and held out her little finger.
"Ha, all right!" Somewhat helpless, Wei Zhao hooked pinkies with Shen Yushu, and they even pressed thumbs...
"Pinky swear, cross my heart, a hundred years, no breaking apart; whoever breaks it turns into Mighty General!" Shen Yushu said.
Wei Zhao nodded. It truly was time for him to leave!
Farewell, Songshan City. Farewell, villa... Farewell, all those people he knew so well!
"Woof woof..." Mighty General seemed to sense the sorrowful mood as well, and it barked at Wei Zhao in reluctant farewell.
"Ha, Mighty General, look after Yaoyao and Little Shu well!" Wei Zhao had full confidence in this high-intelligence, high-ranking Yellow-rank dog. Its intelligence was very high, and he guessed it could probably understand the conversations among himself, Yaoyao, and Little Shu.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have reacted so strongly every day when Wei Zhao left the house!
"Woof woof!" Mighty General raced up to Wei Zhao, leaped into the air, and flung himself into Wei Zhao's arms!
"All right, there, a hug, and goodbye, Mighty General..." But Wei Zhao had barely got half the words out before he stopped short. His expression abruptly turned strange, and his mouth fell open; he was too astonished to speak.
