A New Journey

"Yes! It's about time for me to leave, after teaching you for at least three years! But before I leave, there's something I need to tell you, Xiao Ye."

Jiraiya's words gradually became serious, and his expression became earnest.

"What's wrong? What do you want to tell me? Jiraiya- sensei, just say it! I'm listening."

"Yes! That's right, before I leave."

"Mmm!"

"Before I leave, could you give me some more money?"

"Mmm!"

Suddenly, Xuan Ye realized something. He stared wide-eyed at Jiraiya and asked, "Money?"

"Yes! It's about money."

Jiraiya laughed, his expression returning to its lewd look—the same expression Xuan Ye had seen when they first met.

"Ha ha!"

Xuan Ye couldn't help but laugh, but this time he didn't dawdle. Instead, he took out Storage Scroll and pulled out a pile of silver notes, which should be worth tens of millions of taels.

Gen Ye was very generous, perhaps because Jiraiya was leaving, which made Xuan Ye very generous with the money without any hesitation.

Jiraiya was very direct. He instantly moved the pile of silver notes in front of him into the Storage Scroll he had taken out, laughed heartily at Xuan Ye, and then left into the distance.

Xuan Ye watched Jiraiya's figure gradually disappear into the distance, tears welled up in his eyes. He wiped them away with his right hand, then turned and left the forest without looking back.

Jiraiya had already left, Jiraiya Xuan Ye wandered aimlessly through the forest, not knowing where to go or where to stop.

This feeling is extremely painful. I've become accustomed to spending time with Jiraiya, but now I still have to leave. This isn't the first time.

Although I've experienced it once before, the feeling is still incredibly unpleasant. My heart feels heavy, and I don't know what to do.

"Heh! I can't be like this. So what if I leave? I have to learn to be strong. What kind of person am I to be like this?"

Then Xuan Ye turned his head and looked at the White Tiger beside him. He felt a little warm in his heart. Fortunately, he still had Little White by his side. Otherwise, he would probably feel even worse if he were alone.

"Little White, where do you think we should go now?" Xuan Ye asked, looking at Little White who was following beside him.

The White Tiger did not answer, but simply changed its body back to its original size, instantly growing from a few tens of centimeters to six or seven meters tall.

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"

The White Tiger turned its head and barked at Xuan Ye, as if saying something.

"Hehe! Do you want me to sit on your back?" Xuan Ye lowered his head, calming himself down.

"Sitting on your back seems like a good decision. Anyway, I don't know where to go right now, so I'll just sit on your back and let you decide where to go."

Xuan Ye didn't hesitate and jumped onto the White Tiger's back, settling down steadily.

Once Xuan Ye was settled, the White Tiger unleashed its full speed, instantly galloping forward at breakneck speed. The White Tiger was incredibly fast, and countless gusts of wind blew across Xuan Ye's face, making him feel a slight chill.

The surrounding scenery only exists for a fleeting moment; the next instant, it will move behind him.

And so, Xuan Ye sat on the protective back for two days and two nights. During these two days, the White Tiger did not stop at all, but kept running forward. The White Tiger could clearly feel its master's mood.

Unbeknownst to me, the main color of the surrounding environment gradually turned white, and the temperature also gradually decreased. It seemed that after two days of continuous travel, we had arrived at a cold place full of snowflakes.

Xuan Ye didn't know where he was, nor did he want to know. Anyway, it made no difference whether he knew or not.

The White Tiger slowly stopped, and Xuan Ye also stopped listening to it. The feeling of separation had gradually weakened over the past two days. Now, Xuan Ye was very hungry and wanted to eat.

Xuan Ye looked around and found that the surrounding area was already covered in snow and ice, with the ground covered in white. The temperature was extremely high, and Xuan Ye was only wearing a thin piece of clothing.

However, he did not feel cold. Although the temperature around him was very low and the surroundings were covered with snow, Xuan Ye's physical strength as Elite Jonin was enough to keep his body temperature from dropping. To be honest, Xuan Ye didn't care about this little bit of temperature.

"Coo! Coo! Coo!"

His stomach rumbled at that moment, and Xuan Ye touched his stomach expressionlessly. "I feel a little hungry! Little White hasn't eaten for two days either, so we should probably go find something to eat."

Xuan Ye lowered his head and muttered to himself. Then he rode on the White Tiger's back once again, sitting on its back and letting it carry him to find living animals and beasts.

The surrounding area is now completely covered in snow, so it would be a very difficult decision for Xuan Ye to find food on his own.

,

Even after he activated his Divine Eye, greatly increasing his field of vision, finding food would still be very difficult.

After all, in the icy and snowy landscape, most of the animals and wild beasts have white fur, which makes it more difficult to find food.

However, none of these are problems for Little White. When Little White wants to find wild animals, it doesn't need to use its eyes to look for them. It only needs to use its nose to sniff, and it can easily smell the scent of wild animals and then track them.

Even if it's a scent drifting from afar, even if it's extremely faint, it's not a problem; we can still track scents that are floating in from a distance.

As soon as Xuan Ye jumped back onto the White Tiger's back, it immediately dashed off into the distance at an extremely fast speed. However, looking at the surrounding scenery, which was nothing but white, Xuan Ye felt somewhat numb.

The scene was completely white, and I felt nothing at all. It was as if I had been in one place all along, completely covered by snow. Except for some tree trunks peeking out from the snow, there was no difference.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

After running for about two minutes, the White Tiger began to slow down and gradually came to a stop. Xuan Ye could now see the moving white figure ahead. Xuan Ye smiled and said, "It seems we've found the food, but we still need to catch it. The process of catching it isn't difficult."
