Chapter 944: Sending Master Off

Su Chong and Su Hua also began to retire. Everyone had plans and goals to live their lives to the fullest.
Su Xiaolu was very happy, so she was a little drunk when she left the palace.
After returning to the academy, life went on as usual.!!
But the next day, she was called over by Old Wu and Gui You.
Now, even Master Gui You’s hair had turned white.
Su Xiaolu smiled and asked, “Masters, if there’s anything you need, just tell me.”
Old Wu looked at Su Xiaolu with a very loving gaze. “Girl, Master has important news to tell you. Come with me. These are all treasures that Master has collected in his life. Keep them well.”
Su Xiaolu’s expression turned serious. She looked at the two Masters and cried before she could speak.
Old Wu was already more than a hundred years old. He was one of the very few people who had such a long life.
He had also cultivated before. Although he was not at the Foundation Establishment realm, he had special abilities. His body was very, very healthy. Su Xiaolu thought that he had sensed something.
However, Su Xiaolu did not grieve for long before Old Wu knocked her head.
The old man said angrily, “You brat, why are you crying? I’m not dead yet.” Su Xiaolu sniffed. “Master, why did you give all of this to me?”
Su Xiaolu looked at Old Wu. The old man was still energetic and did not look like he was about to die. Su Xiaolu wiped her tears.
Gui You stroked her hair gently. There was a kind smile on his serious face. He said, “It’s all because this old man is tired of staying here and wants to go out for a walk again. However, he’s old after all. If he’s in a dangerous place, he probably won’t be able to come out after entering. That’s why he’s giving these things to you first.”
Old Wu rolled his eyes. “Yes, yes, yes. We’ve been here for so many years. I thought that I would be able to relax when I’m old, but when I saw that Xiaoling was going on a long trip yesterday, I couldn’t sit still anymore. I
thought that I had almost forgotten everything I had seen. I’ll take a last look. If I can still come back alive, I definitely won’t be able to walk again.”
Su Xiaolu looked at the two Masters and the tears she had held back flowed out again. Wasn’t this the same?
No matter what, this separation might be the last time they would see each other.
Su Xiaolu shook her head. “No, I won’t allow you to go. I won’t allow…” Su Xiaolu refused.
Old Wu never knew how to handle her, let alone when she was crying. He stammered for a long time and said shyly, “Don’t cry. Look… how old are you?
When others see you later, they’ll laugh at you… You’re not young anymore. Your dignity as a teacher is going to be gone…”
Su Xiaolu cried and shook her head. “You’re not allowed to leave!”
She was stubborn and determined.
Old Wu looked at her and felt that she had not changed much from when she was young. She was very difficult to deal with.
Old Wu looked to Gui You for help and admitted defeat. He really had no way to deal with this little disciple. It was fine if she cried, but she even tugged at his sleeve.
Gui You was indifferent. What could he do? “This, this, quickly say something. This isn’t just my disciple!”
Old Wu looked at Gui You in exasperation.
He never expected Su Xiaolu, who was about to turn 50 years old, to cry like a child.
Su Xiaolu was very sad that Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao had passed away.
They were her biological parents, but she had another kind of feeling for Old Wu. She kept thinking about her grandfather, who had raised and educated her in her previous life, who was her Master and her closest relative.
In her previous life, when her grandfather passed away, she did not even see him for the last time in school.
Now that Old Wu wanted to travel far, it meant that they would not be able to see each other for the last time. The regrets and sadness of her previous life overlapped now. How could Su Xiaolu agree?
Su Xiaolu looked at Old Wu eagerly and sobbed, “Master, Masters, if you want to go, I’ll go with you. Don’t leave me like this, okay?”
Seeing Su Xiaolu cry like this, Old Wu’s eyes turned red. He sighed and helped Su Xiaolu up.
“I’ll bring you. Master will bring you along. Don’t cry.”
Old Wu’s heart ached too. His body was getting worse. He did have the intention to leave quietly. He had once said that he wanted Su Xiaolu to serve him before he died, but at this moment, he did not want Su Xiaolu to see him before he died at all.
He couldn’t bear to see her sad or tired.
However, this girl was pure-hearted and stubbornly refused to agree. He really could not refuse.
Old Wu looked at Gui You and said, “Let’s bring the girl along on this trip.”
On their last journey, since the girl did not despise the two old men, they would bring her along.
Gui You nodded. “Okay.”
Only then did Su Xiaolu stop crying. However, she followed the two Masters, afraid that they would go back on their word and leave her behind.
Seeing this, Old Wu felt helpless and warm.
When Little Niu and Su Kuo found out that Old Wu and Gui You were leaving again, they joined without a word.
Old Wu looked at the juniors and couldn’t be bothered to hide his disdain.
Before leaving, Su Xiaolu said goodbye to Zhou Zhi.
The five of them went down the mountain together.
Gui You gave them an address. This was their goal.
In the first half a month, everyone was very happy. However, after that, Old Wu’s body suddenly fell. He began to feel sleepy. No matter how many divine medicines he ate, it was useless. He still fell asleep.
Only then did Gui You tell the truth.
“His body is already at the end of its rope. It won’t be long. He didn’t want you to send him off because he was afraid that you would be too sad, but he didn’t want you to be too sad, so he agreed to let you accompany him.”
Gui You looked at Su Xiaolu with a loving gaze. This was his and the old man’s proudest disciple and his eternal pride.
Su Xiaolu felt a lump in her throat and tears were already welling up in her eyes. After she became an adult, she rarely cried. However, in recent years, she had cried more.
It had been five years since her parents passed away. All her longing was in her heart.
But this was only the beginning. In a few years, her family, friends, and former acquaintances would gradually pass away.
Su Xiaolu looked down at the ground and tears fell silently. She thought of many things. Her Master had once carried her through many places. He was arrogant and very proud, but he was also very protective. He gave her everything he had.
“Girl, send us off well.’
Gui You reached out and ruffled Su Xiaolu’s hair.
Su Xiaolu looked up at Gui You with tears in her eyes. “Master Gui You… You…”
Gui You smiled. “I’ve already lived long enough. There’s no need to be sad. I had a close friend by my side in life, and even in death, I have a close friend by my side. I’m happy. Master has lived a carefree life.”
Su Xiaolu’s face was covered in tears. This journey had been very difficult for her..
