After returning Itachi saw that Xia Qingyue was still awake.
"Where were you then?"
Hearing these words Itachi looked up and saw that Xia Qingyue was in fact still awake.
Xia Qingyue looked back, icy and as imperious as ever, seemingly aloof from all mortal matters, however upon coming into contact with Itachi's eyes she was shocked.
Usually the many youths of Floating Cloud City would be barely able to conceal their lust for her, however her new husband who she only married out of respect for the deal their fathers made possessed clear eyes, which seemed unfathomable and as deep as the abyss, not the eyes of the trash that he had been made out to be.
In her shock over the expression towards her displayed in Itachi's eyes she didn't even have the time to bid him goodnight as he flopped down on the bed, facing away from her, unresponsively.
Snorting, Xia Qingyue turned over and also went to sleep.
"Soon I will be going to Frozen Asgard and I will take a different path from Xiao Che who is unable to cultivate, our lives won't intersect again."
After having thought this Xia Qingyue drifted off to sleep, no longer thinking of her husband.
Itachi likewise was completely uncaring about the matter of his marriage, having already decided to leave the city tomorrow, after informing Xiao Lingxi and his grandfather of his decision.
He would begin his quest to regain his profound veins and become a truly powerful force in this strange world, a powerful force like he was in his last life.
Having arranged his thoughts like so, Itachi drifted off into blissful sleep.
The next morning Itachi awoke at dawn and he saw Xia Qingyue standing by the window.
He could feel that there was something subtly different about her aura this morning, as if she was fundamentally less cold towards him today.
However he didn't care, her sliver of affection meaningless to him.
Punctually greeting her with,"morning" Itachi stood up, still clothed from yesterday and spoke of his decision to leave the city.
"My wife, I am leaving the city today, going on a journey to recover my profound veins and gain strength. So until we meet again I bid you farewell Xia Qingyue."
Having said this Itachi turned while waving and left her room, before promptly bidding Xia Yuanba and Xia Hongyi farewell, much to Yuanba's disappointment, before going to see Xiao Lingxi and Xiao Lie, to tell them of his decision.
Upon reaching the Xiao Clan Itachi quickly located Xiao Lingxi and his grandfather, and began explaining to them why he wished to leave the clan.
"Little Che you can't, you're unable to cultivate you'll be in danger!"
Itachi smiled wryly hearing this, and his grandfather followed up saying,
"Che'er, Lingxi is right, with your power level you will be oppressed by the vast majority of people you come across."
"I know little aunt and grandfather are making sense, however you will have to forgive me for going against your wishes this time. I truly wish to find a way to become stronger and not stay trash forever, so I have to do this. I love you both and I'll come back once I'm stronger!"
Having said these words Itachi bid his little aunt and his grandfather, Xiao Lingxi and Xiao Lie, goodbye, finally beginning his journey into the outside world, ready to become a true power in the outside world.
Having promptly settled his few prominent relationships within his life that he had gained after crossing over, and made sure that they were all happy and well, Itachi felt unfettered at last, and truly ready to pursue the path of strength.
He decided that his first order of business would be to attempt to find out the limits of his current strength, in terms of what he could do with his sharingan, before attempting to find a way to recover his profound veins in order to increase in strength and unlock more abilities for his sharingan.
"Hopefully I'll receive Shisui's ability, {{Kotoamatsukami}} would be very useful in a world like this full of intricate plots and scheming people."
"I think first, I'll head to the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, which according to my memories I gained is a mountain range where I can test myself against wild beasts rather than humans who will fight with intent to kill and viciousness, which will be good to hone myself."
As Itachi set out out of Floating Cloud City heading towards the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, within the Sky Poison Pearl the small red headed girl suddenly opened her eyes and flashed out of the Sky Poison Pearl, appearing in front of a shocked Itachi, who had managed to completely forget about that little girl from yesterday until now.
