Chapter 162: Change of Heart (Additional update for 48,000 monthly votes)

  Li Yuan couldn't help but turn his head to look over, and the young man who looked 80% like Xu Bo also crawled down.

  His eyes were slightly red as he looked at his father and then turned to Li Yuan, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect: "Brother."

  He often heard his father mention this 'Li Yuan Shixiong', who was the best disciple of his father's many years of teaching.

  "Uh, get up." Li Yuan said in a low voice, supporting the young man.

  "Teacher, what's on your mind? Please go ahead and say it." Li Yuan choked back tears, looking at Xu Bo.

  "Okay."

  "I will die, and no longer hide it. I also hope you don't blame the teacher." Xu Bo squeezed out a smile: "Xu Ling is my son, his mother died at the hands of a foreign tribe, I've always felt guilty towards him."

  "In the future, if he gets into trouble, if you can help him in any way, please do." A glimmer of hope flashed in Xu Bo's eyes.

  Perhaps he was once a man of iron bones.

  He is the Iron Tower, a legendary figure who has traversed the starry expanse with great renown.

  But at this moment, he is just a father who hopes to pave the way for his children in the last stage of his life and leave more human feelings.

  "Teacher, you have so many friends and relatives, they will all help Xu Ling." Li Yuan's heart was aching as he said: "But don't worry, from now on I will definitely treat Xu Ling like my own brother, if there's anything I can do to help him, I will."

  "Good." Xu Bo felt relieved.

  He had asked many people, but in his heart, Li Yuan was the heaviest one, and the most promising to become a flying warrior in the future.

  "Li Yuan."

  "In those years, I also vowed to become a flying warrior, to make a name for myself in the Xia Kingdom with my gun in hand, and to wipe out all the alien tribes in the Star Realm." Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan and said softly: "Unfortunately, I couldn't do it."

  "So, after being injured, in the last few years of my life, I returned to Jiang City to teach students with all my might."

  "You are the most outstanding student I have ever seen." Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "I hope you can carry your teacher's blessings and move forward."

  "Cheng Fei Tian Wu Zhe."

  "Even transcending flight, truly becoming the pinnacle of human civilization." Xu Bo smiled.

  "Teacher, I will definitely work hard." Li Yuan nodded, still trying his best not to let tears fall.

  Xu Bo was Li Yuan's Wudao teacher when he was in high school.

  As for the time spent together, it wasn't long for both parties.

  But the other party was the first teacher who truly did not seek any return, and went all out to help Li Yuan, whether it was guidance in cultivation, or in life, or when joining the Xinghuo Martial Temple... Xu Bo always went all out to help Li Yuan.

  Today will be their last meeting.

  ……

  Li Yuan did not stay in the ward for too long.

  He is after all just Xu Bo's 'student', barely considered a half-disciple.

  At this final moment of his life, Xu Bo's greatest wish must be that his loved ones are by his side.

  "Uncle Wan." Li Yuan walked out of the ward.

  The woman in black has left.

  "I wanted to tell you about Xu Bo's matter earlier, but your teacher wouldn't let me." Wan Qinghe said: "You're still young and haven't seen much of this kind of thing."

  "I don't want to advise you on anything, because whoever faces this kind of thing will feel very uncomfortable." Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan and sighed: "Your teacher is a good person, he's like this now, I also feel uncomfortable in my heart."

  "I just wanted to tell you."

  "This is the path of a warrior, from university onwards, many classmates will die, entering the starry sky to venture, more and more friends, acquaintances, elders who died in battle... Many people can't even find their bodies or where they died... We can only face it, we must also face it."

  "What we can do is to make ourselves stronger and more powerful." Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan.

  His words were more direct today, without much cover-up.

  "I understand." Li Yuan nodded softly.

  Soon.

  Wan Qinghe also left, as the master of Xinghuo Guanshan's sub-temple, he had a lot to do at this moment.

  It's already hard to find some time to visit Bo.

  But Li Yuan didn't leave, he quietly waited outside the hospital room.

  Time flies, and one after another, people come to visit.

  It was after eight o'clock in the evening when a figure that made Li Yuan feel slightly surprised appeared in the corridor.

  "Lin Yue?" Li Yuan looked at the newcomer in surprise.

  "Are you so surprised to see me?" Lin Lan Yue looked at Li Yuan, it had been a long time since they last saw each other in reality.

  "Didn't you say you wouldn't return to Jiang City for vacation?" Li Yuan asked, he and Lin Lan Yue often kept in touch online.

  Before this, Lin Lanyue had been on the Randis continent and hadn't returned from Xuánghuā University.

  "You told me about Teacher Xu's situation, he is also my martial arts teacher, can't I go back and take a look?" Lin Lan Yue looked at Li Yuan.

  In high school, Xu Bo served as a martial arts teacher for three classes at the same time.

  "Could it be you?" A glimmer of hope flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

  Last night, while executing the task, Li Yuan had asked Lin Lan Yue if there was any way.

  "No." Lin Lan Yue shook her head.

  The last glimmer of hope in Li Yuan's heart was extinguished.

  "If we want to save Teacher Xu, we must detoxify him, but the Xuanxing Blood Spirit Poison has already penetrated deep into his Star Veins, it's too difficult." Lin Lan Yue sighed and shook her head: "I asked my father, perhaps only a being that surpasses the Flying Sky level can do it."

  "But at least, my father can't."

  Li Yuan's eyes dimmed slightly, which was within his expectations.

  Just as Xu Bo himself said, he has a wide range of connections and even Flying Swordsmen tried to help him.

  If it could be saved, it would have been saved long ago.

  "Alright, I'll go take a look at the teacher." Lin Lan Yue said, entering the sickroom.

  He was out of the hospital room soon.

  Two people sat quietly on chairs outside the hospital room, waiting silently.

  "I heard from Second Brother that you performed exceptionally well in this Jiang City's Fish Spirit Tide." Lin Lan Yue looked at Li Yuan: "It's likely that you'll be made a key figure to be commended."

  "Key commendation?" Li Yuan nodded slightly.

  Lin Lan Yue's family background is extremely large, and it's not difficult to know some news in advance.

  However, Li Yuan did not feel much joy in his heart, and he would rather not have this so-called honor.

  Lin Lanyue looked at Li Yuan and didn't say anything else.

  Although she is also a student of Xu Bo, after all, her feelings are not so deep and she cannot have the same feeling as Li Yuan.

  ……

  At more than 4 am, Xu Bo passed away peacefully in his ward, accompanied by many family members, friends and students.

  Only 48 years old.

  ……

  Two days later, Xu Bo's memorial service was held in the auditorium of Guanshan District.

  As one of the two warriors from Jiangcheng who died in battle as "Fish Spirit's Tide".

  Yes, the Starfire Martial Hall and the state jointly recognized Xu Bo as a "martyr" and, in recognition of his great contributions to human civilization and Xia Guo throughout his life, posthumously awarded him the First-Class Golden Medal.

  His funeral was undoubtedly grand.

  Lin Lanyue stayed in Jiang City for several days, accompanying Li Yuan to attend Xu Bo's memorial service.

  He then quickly left and returned to the Lantis continent.

  ……

  After attending Mr. Xu Bo's memorial service, I had a separate conversation with Xu Ling.

  Li Yuan returned home.

  The various building and street damage brought by Fish Spirit's tide to Jiang City is being rapidly repaired.

  However, the huge casualties and the pain in the hearts of tens of millions of people in Jiang city cannot be erased overnight.

  It takes a very long time.

  Time flies, and Li Yuan's remaining vacation time is spent either in his daily fixed and unchanged crazy training or accompanying his uncle and aunt.

  After what happened with Teacher Xu Bo, Li Yuan became even more aware that time often slips away and never comes back.

  Many things.

  If you don't take action at that time, it's easy to leave regrets that can never be made up for.

  For Li Yuan, Teacher Xu Bo's 'gift of teaching', he would never have another chance to repay.

  The deceased is gone.

  So for the days he can spend with his uncle and aunt, Li Yuan cherishes them even more.

  On December 25th, Jiangbei Xing Province announced the end of 'Jiang City Fish Spirit Attack', but follow-up counterattacks and retaliation against the Fish Spirit Star Realm will continue.

  ……

  On December 27th, Jiang City held a commendation conference across the city to honor citizens and warriors who made outstanding contributions in the Fish Spirit Tide.

  Li Yuan was set up as a 'young model of martial arts' and finally awarded the 'First Class Silver Medal'.

  Adding to his previous achievements, his reputation in Jiangbei Province has become even more widespread.

  However.

  All of this Li Yuan had never taken to heart, and even after the end of the imperial banquet, he did not attend the 'dinner party'.

  But went straight back home.

  On the villa rooftop, stars filled the sky, and the entire neighborhood was exceptionally quiet.

  "In two days, I will set off for the Mingxu Star Boundary." Li Yuan sat quietly here.

  Downstairs.

  Because the meeting was not live, Uncle Auntie, brothers and sisters were watching the projected video, watching the awards ceremony clips.

  Li Yuan quietly sat on the rooftop, listening to his family's discussion.

  Looking at the calm lake in the distance.

  Looking around at the villas, Li Yuan felt exceptionally calm in his heart. He only felt that this moment was extremely beautiful.

  It's as if all the wars of recent days were just a dream.

  "How wonderful it would be if every day in this country could be like this for everyone." Li Yuan thought to himself.

  Silently watching all of this.

  Gradually, Li Yuan's heart became more and more peaceful, with a hint of inexplicable change.
