Chapter 55 Leaving

The next morning, Jiang Xianchuan went to Li Lingyu’s room as usual to change his dressing. When he unwrapped the bandage and saw that the already shocking wound had become even more serious, he couldn’t help but feel a headache.

“What’s going on with you? My injuries are almost healed, but yours haven’t improved at all,” Jiang Xianchuan said, frowning, his tone revealing a hint of anxiety and incomprehension.

Li Lingyu gently shook his head. He didn’t answer Jiang Xianchuan’s question, but silently lowered his head, looking at Jiang Xianchuan who was treating his wound.

Jiang Xianchuan was busy with a worried look on his face, and even fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Seeing Jiang Xianchuan like this, the corners of Li Lingyu’s mouth involuntarily curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

“Forget it, in that case, I’ll take you to Lin Pianyue to take a look,” Jiang Xianchuan said, while re-bandaging Li Lingyu’s wound.

The two soon arrived at Lin Pianyue’s clinic. Lin Pianyue carefully examined Li Lingyu’s wound, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed. She glanced at him thoughtfully, then sighed softly and said, “Little brother, to be honest, the healing of his wound is really strange. Even I have encountered this situation for the first time. I don’t have any good solutions for the time being.” Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed across Jiang Xianchuan’s face, while Li Lingyu remained calm.

“Okay, then thank you, Sister Pianyue,” Jiang Xianchuan nodded helplessly and led Li Lingyu out of the clinic. However, they had just walked out of the clinic when they ran into Shi Yi, who was puffing her cheeks in anger.

“Shi Yi, what’s wrong with you? Who made you angry?” Jiang Xianchuan asked curiously.

“I’m so mad! Just now, I actually heard someone gossiping and saying bad things about you two! Hmph, you’ve done so much for our camp, working hard and doing your best. And what? Those heartless guys not only don’t appreciate it, but they even turn around and criticize you! What’s even more excessive is that some people actually have the nerve to go to Gu Huaishan and demand that Lingyu leave the camp! It’s just too hateful!” Shi Yi said, her face flushed with anger.

“And then? Did you just start arguing with them?” Jiang Xianchuan asked, frowning.

“Of course! How could I stand this? It’s too much for them to slander you like this!” Shi Yi replied angrily, her chest heaving violently with anger.

“Oh well, forget it, don’t bother with them. People have mouths, they can say whatever they want. We just need to have a clear conscience,” Jiang Xianchuan patted Shi Yi’s shoulder and comforted her softly.

However, he knew very well that since the fierce battle with Wang Ge that day, the attitude of the people in the camp towards Li Lingyu had changed significantly.

Especially after everyone had personally witnessed Li Lingyu’s fierce and ruthless fighting skills, they began to have concerns and worries.

At first, these discussions were limited to private whispers, but as time went on, the situation became worse and worse, and it had even developed to the point of open accusations.

Moreover, even Jiang Xianchuan himself was implicated because of his close relationship with Li Lingyu.

Li Lingyu stood quietly aside, without saying a word. He lowered his head slightly, as if lost in deep thought.

Afterwards, they returned home together. Li Lingyu pursed his lips lightly, then raised his head, looking at Jiang Xianchuan with firm eyes, and said slowly, “I have something I need to go out for.” After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Xianchuan to respond, he turned and left.

Li Lingyu walked quickly and soon came to a remote corner. There, a figure was waiting for him quietly – it was Gu Huaishan.

Seeing Li Lingyu appear, Gu Huaishan smiled and raised his hand to signal, “I was just about to go find you, but I didn’t expect you to come.”

The two looked at each other, and both saw a trace of seriousness in each other’s eyes. After a moment of silence, Gu Huaishan took the lead in breaking the deadlock and said softly, “You must have heard about the rumors in the camp recently.” Li Lingyu nodded silently, indicating that he already knew about it.

Gu Huaishan sighed helplessly and continued, “This matter is really giving me a headache! More than one or two members have come to me, strongly demanding that you be expelled from the camp. To be honest, I’m caught in the middle and it’s difficult for me…”

Speaking of this, he paused, glanced at Li Lingyu, and continued, “However, rest assured, everyone has seen your contributions to our camp. No matter what others say, I will never easily make a decision to drive you away. After all, without your help before, our camp would probably not have been able to develop to its current scale.”

However, to Gu Huaishan’s surprise, Li Lingyu shook his head without hesitation and said firmly, “No, I have decided to leave.”

This answer obviously shocked Gu Huaishan. He widened his eyes and asked eagerly, “Why? The matter hasn’t reached the point of no return, why are you so determined?”

Li Lingyu took a deep breath and explained slowly, “Because I don’t want Chuan Chuan to be affected and hurt by these rumors. He did nothing wrong, and I can’t let him bear this pressure with me.” Hearing this, Gu Huaishan couldn’t help but remain silent, secretly sighing at Li Lingyu’s deep affection for Jiang Xianchuan.

After a while, Gu Huaishan spoke again to persuade him, “How about this, don’t rush to make a decision, give me a little more time, and I will definitely try my best to handle this matter properly and eliminate everyone’s misunderstandings and prejudices towards you. Believe me, I can definitely do it!”

However, in the face of Gu Huaishan’s kindness, Li Lingyu only responded indifferently, “No need.” As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly stood up, his figure as tall and straight as a pine tree, his movements graceful and neat.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around without hesitation, without even looking back, and strode away resolutely.

The slender figure soon disappeared into the distance, leaving Gu Huaishan alone standing there, staring blankly at the direction he left, his gaze unable to withdraw for a long time.

At the same time, Li Lingyu, who had separated from Gu Huaishan, did not choose to go home. He left without any nostalgia, as if everything behind him was irrelevant to him.

At this time, Jiang Xianchuan, who was anxiously waiting for Li Lingyu’s return, had been waiting for a long time. Time passed by minute by minute, but Li Lingyu’s figure never appeared. This situation made Jiang Xianchuan’s heart feel an ominous premonition, and he began to feel restless.

Finally, Jiang Xianchuan, unable to suppress the worry in his heart, decided to go out to find Li Lingyu. He walked quickly to the door and happened to meet Shi Yi.

Jiang Xianchuan quickly asked, “Shi Yi, have you seen Yu Bao? He’s been out for a long time and hasn’t come back yet.”

Hearing this, Shi Yi was slightly stunned, then shook her head and replied, “No.” Hearing this answer, the unease in Jiang Xianchuan’s heart became even stronger.

Without delay, Jiang Xianchuan decisively took Shi Yi and began to search for Li Lingyu’s whereabouts throughout the camp.

They carefully searched every possible corner, but to their disappointment, after a long and arduous search, they still failed to find any trace of Li Lingyu.

“Where did he go?” Jiang Xianchuan frowned, muttering to himself. At this moment, he was anxious and restless, and all kinds of bad thoughts kept flashing through his mind.

“Do you know where Li Lingyu went?” Jiang Xianchuan came to the gate with a worried look on his face and asked the guard on duty today with a slightly trembling voice.

The guard looked up at Jiang Xianchuan and replied casually, “Yes, didn’t he leave the camp? In my opinion, he was kicked out.”

These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Jiang Xianchuan’s heart directly. In an instant, he only felt a buzzing sound in his head, a blank space.

Leave the camp? How is that possible? Just now? Jiang Xianchuan remembered that not long ago, Li Lingyu had told him that he had something to deal with, did he already intend to leave at that time?

At this time, Shi Yi couldn’t stand it anymore, rolled her eyes at the guard, and said angrily, “You’re the one who’s going to be kicked out of the camp! If you can’t speak, then don’t!” Then she turned her head, looked at Jiang Xianchuan gently, and comforted him softly, “Don’t worry, maybe he has something urgent that requires him to go out. Let’s go ask Gu Huaishan.”

Jiang Xianchuan nodded and walked with Shi Yi towards Gu Huaishan’s place in a hurry. Along the way, Jiang Xianchuan’s heart was in his throat, and he kept praying that Li Lingyu only had something important that he had to leave the camp immediately.

Finally, he found Gu Huaishan, and Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t wait to ask, “Did Li Lingyu go out on a mission?”

Gu Huaishan looked at the anxious two people in front of him, shook his head gently, and slowly told them what had just happened.

After listening to Gu Huaishan’s words, Jiang Xianchuan’s mood instantly fell to the bottom. He widened his eyes, looking at the distance in disbelief, his heart full of anger and sadness. What a Li Lingyu, after getting along for so long, he just left without saying a word, without leaving any nostalgia.

“No, I absolutely can’t sit still, I have to go find him immediately!” Jiang Xianchuan said anxiously, and raised his leg to leave before he finished speaking.

At this moment, Shi Yi rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Xianchuan’s sleeve tightly, shouting loudly, “Calm down first, okay! We have to figure out which direction he left in, right? Otherwise, searching blindly like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack!”

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan’s body trembled violently, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water over his head, and he instantly woke up.

Indeed, if he didn’t first figure out the direction Li Lingyu left, he would be rushing around like a headless fly, and he would probably not only fail to find anyone, but would also get lost in this vast wilderness. Thinking of this, he slowly retracted his steps and stood in place, his eyes confused and helpless.

After calming down a little, the two decided to split up and go out to inquire about the specific location of Li Lingyu’s departure from the surrounding passers-by.

After some effort, they finally learned the approximate clues from a kind-hearted person.

Based on this information, Jiang Xianchuan quickly judged the possible route, and without hesitation, he turned back to his residence, picked up his weapon that he regarded as his life, and prepared to embark on the journey to find Li Lingyu.

However, just as he was about to step away, Shi Yi once again stood in front of him, firmly saying, “Wait, I’m going with you this time no matter where you go!”

Jiang Xianchuan frowned, his face showing difficulty, “No, you have to stay and guard the camp. Our trip is uncertain, and if we encounter any danger and can’t come back, at least there is a place to stay. If you leave with me, then when we come back, we won’t even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.”

After listening to Jiang Xianchuan’s words, Shi Yi still had resentment in her heart, but looking at his firm expression and unquestionable tone, she finally chose to compromise. She bit her lip and softly instructed, “Okay… but you must be careful, and be sure to return safely as soon as possible!”
