CHAPTER 13: Departure
Early the next morning everyone gathered at the outside area of bright moon palace.
At the gate the eight outer disciples gathered together with elder zui qiang and elder Fei hu.
Yu yue also woke up early to group with them. She's too excited to fall asleep so she's early.
Her mother and father as well as yuxue'er and yuhua'er brought yu yue to the outer area to send them off.
"alright, since everyone is here we better depart now" zui qiang nodded as he once again reminded everyone of what should they do and not to do outside the barrier.
"En" the disciples all nodded with excitement.
Elder Qi ji is also at the gate as he's the one responsible for maintaining the barrier.
"alright everyone, get one each of this talisman. This will help us to find you all if you're in danger. Only use it though if you're in life and death situation." He flicks his sleeves and a stack of talisman appeared as he reminded them solemnly.
They have lost few talented disciples every experience learning. That's how dangerous the outside world is.
"you too little lass, keep this all properly" Elder Qi ji handed yu yue the remaining talisman.
"thanks a lot grandpa Qi ji" yu yue beamed.
Elder Qi ji nodded and stared at everyone pointedly as he reminded once more. "once you reached the boundary of snowy plane, you little brat will be on your own. As for you all, you should always stick together because you don't only have to look out for demonic beasts but also from other people too because they're scarier than demonic and spirit beasts. Specially you little brat" elder Qi ji stared at her solemnly.
Yu yue always heard them talking about the outside world without any good feelings so she wondered what's exactly going on outside.
'it can't be that bad and lawless right?' although she said that internally she also feels more guarded towards people from outside as her eyes flashed.
She can't afford to be careless. She hasn't seen all of this world, she wants to travel and learn more and more so she can't die again yet.
She just started to enjoy this life, this body, this world so she can't afford to die in the process.
She's no coward but she's fearful of death, she vowed not to be a sitting duck waiting for death in this life. She would take care of herself and her body, she won't allow herself to lay on her bed for the rest of her life again.
Yu Yue's gaze turned hazy as she reminisces of her past life. She quickly gets hold of herself and followed the rest, exiting the array.
Before she exits, she paused on her steps and glance back at her family.
Somewhat she felt uneasy so she looks at them for long trying to paint their images in her mind vividly. She smiled at them and hug them one by one without saying anything and she quickly run to follow the others as tears swelled at the corner of her eyes.
Her family also get teary seeing this but they didn't say anything anymore and just watch their precious princess quickly running away.
Once she steps out of the barrier a harsh chilly wind blows her face and the white snowfall dance around the air in blizzards continuously.
Yu yue take a deep breath feeling exhilarated at the sight of endless stretch of white snow. Her heart thump excitedly as something heavy weighing her suddenly disappeared.
The chilly harsh wind keeps blowing wildly so she quickly regulates her qi inside her body. She tightens her snow white fur robe around her neck after putting the hood on.
She glances inside the barrier and wave goodbye at everyone.
