Two Colorful Bones inexplicably lost their luster, and despite everyone’s attempts, they couldn’t make them regain their Spiritual Energy, so they had to temporarily give up.
It was still Qiu Zhihe and Mo Xiaolan each holding one.
The group searched the temple thoroughly again, but found nothing else.
Si Minglan was slightly disappointed, and Fang Xue comforted her:
"Third Senior Sister, don’t lose heart. The journey to the Northern Wilderness will surely yield results!"
Si Minglan smiled freely: "Junior Sister, don’t worry about . But you, if Zhenyang Sect really sends soone to investigate, how would you respond?"
Fang Xue said: "Naturally, I would tell the truth. I believe not everyone in Zhenyang Sect is like the Senior Sister and Senior Brother Zheng!"
Si Minglan wanted to persuade her more, but seeing the determination on her youthful face, she shook her head and said no more.
Everyone has their own destiny and path.
Her fate lies in the Northern Wilderness; she might return, or never co back.
Fang Xue’s fate is in her own hands; she has her own way, and no one can force her to walk another.
Just like Mo Xiaolan, both young won are equally stubborn.
"Taoist Friend Mo, are you really going to Thunder Sword City?"
Outside the temple, Qiu Zhihe asked Mo Xiaolan.
"Yes." Mo Xiaolan nodded, "I want to see the Holy Relics left by the Thunder Sword Immortal."
"Maybe." Qiu Zhihe paused and said, "Many things are not as you imagine, and you might regret seeing them."
Mo Xiaolan smiled and said, "If I see them, maybe I will regret it; if I don’t, I will definitely regret it."
Qiu Zhihe looked at her, "You are a very special woman."
Mo Xiaolan waved her hand, "Taoist Friend Qiu, I’m leaving, take good care of him."
Qiu Zhihe said, "Not saying goodbye to him?"
"No need." Mo Xiaolan laughed freely, like an orchid in full bloom:
"If we all move forward boldly, we will et again eventually!"
After speaking, she walked down the mountain with big strides, and her tall and spirited silhouette soon disappeared.
Qiu Zhihe turned around and said calmly, "Husband, why are you hiding?"
Qin Gengyun then walked out, looked into the distance, and sighed,
"Mo Xiaolan has a grand path in her heart; by not saying goodbye, there won’t be any ties. I can’t affect her."
Qiu Zhihe snorted lightly, "A true soulmate."
The weight of those four words "true soulmate" was heavy; Qin Gengyun suddenly rembered the pain of sleeping on the floor last night, and hurriedly said,
"Wife, Mo Xiaolan and I are absolutely pure and innocent, don’t get the wrong idea!"
"Hm." Qiu Zhihe turned her head away and walked proudly forward.
"Wife, wait for !"
The group descended the mountain and stopped at the entrance of Xingluo Town.
At this ti, Xingluo Town had already regained so of its bustle, with several cultivators coming and going at the town entrance.
Luo Wenzhi stood at the town entrance with several subordinates, waiting from afar.
Fang Xue bowed to Qin Gengyun and the others: "Third Senior Sister, Uncle Qin, Sister Qiu, Sister Susu, the Northern Wilderness is perilous; you must take good care of yourselves."
Si Minglan held her hand, "Junior Sister, don’t assu everyone is as naive and kind as you. If things go wrong, think of protecting yourself first."
Fang Xue smiled, "Third Senior Sister, I understand."
Qiu Zhihe took out a Thousand-Mile Talisman from her bosom, which Fang Xue politely declined:
"Thank you, Sister Qiu, but this ti I don’t want to escape anymore; I have many doubts in my mind that I want to understand better."
Qiu Zhihe looked at her and suddenly said, "If you don’t die, you will achieve great things."
Qin Gengyun said, "Xiaoxue, never be stubborn, think of your parents."
"Thank you, Uncle Qin, I..."
A blush appeared on Fang Xue’s youthful face but quickly faded. She cupped her hands and loudly said:
"I will wait for you to return in Xingluo Town!"
The four bid farewell to her, and Si Minglan was no longer her usual coquettish self, her beautiful eyes slightly reddened.
She has been in Zhenyang Sect for many years, apart from her teacher Sang Yue, she had no real friends or family.
Unexpectedly, she beca so close to a Junior Sister who had only recently joined.
The two had risked their lives together several tis, already becoming as close as sisters, but her ti was short; this parting might be a permanent farewell.
Fang Xue walked to the town entrance, where Luo Wenzhi cupped his hands in greeting:
"Taoist Friend Fang, thank you for staying to help us handle Zhenyang Sect’s investigation."
Fang Xue returned the gesture, "Taoist Friend Luo, don’t ntion it. Zhenyang Sect is my sect, I also happen to join my senior brothers and sisters who co."
After speaking, she turned to watch the gradually receding figures of Qin Gengyun and the others, during which Luo Wenzhi, standing next to her, remarked:
"Demonic Beasts and Spirit Stones rampage in the Northern Wilderness, dangerous and unpredictable. May Taoist Friend Qin’s wife and concubines all return safely."
"My Senior Sister and Sister Susu are not Uncle Qin’s concubines."
Fang Xue quickly clarified, while Luo Wenzhi looked ahead again, noticing Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe walking side by side, with Liu Su and Si Minglan closely following on both sides. He uttered an "Oh.":
"If Taoist Friend Fang says so, then it is so."
Soon, the four figures disappeared behind a distant mountain ridge.
Fang Xue murmured, "Senior Sister, I will always wait for you."
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, a crisp shout ca from behind. The crowd turned to see a petite figure carrying a giant hamr hopping along, eyes filled with fierceness:
"Have you seen a red-haired woman?"
Everyone in Xingluo Town knew the story of her smashing the Earth Mole Demonic Beast half to death with a single strike. They all showed respect, shaking their heads, indicating they hadn’t seen her.
Hamr Girl’s face turned red with anger as she randomly grabbed soone:
"What about the staff user?"
Luo Wenzhi quickly spoke from the side, "Senior Hamr, Senior Qin and the others headed to the Northern Wilderness."
"Ahh, darn it, the Master ran away; the disciple can’t think of escaping either!"
The Hamr Girl jumped five zhang high, in an instant traversing tens of zhang, quickly rushing towards the mountain range leading to the Northern Wilderness.
anwhile, Qin Gengyun and the group had just walked a short distance away, behind them dust billowed and the montum was earth-shaking.
Qiu Zhihe’s face turned cold, "Still, it’s here."
As soon as she spoke, a little girl carrying a large hamr had already jumped down from the air, landing with such force that her feet created a large pit. Pointing at Qin Gengyun, she shouted:
"Hey, where is your Master?"
Qin Gengyun didn’t know what she ant, so he just answered, "Hamr Girl, I have never t my ntor."
The Hamr Girl was furious, "She promised to duel , how did she escape? Tell where your Master is hiding?!"
Qin Gengyun said helplessly, "Hamr Girl, I also want to et my Master, but I really don’t know where she is."
The Hamr Girl stared at him wide-eyed: "You’re lying!"
Her voice was clear and her deanor charming; if not carrying such a big hamr, she would actually be rather cute.
Unfortunately, this seemingly innocent little girl was ferocious, always ready to swing her hamr at soone.
"If you don’t tell where your Master is, I’ll smash you flat!"
Qiu Zhihe stepped forward, standing in front of Qin Gengyun, and said coldly, "Try it."
"Alright!" The Hamr swung the big hamr, sparks of thunder flashing on its body, reviving Mjolnir.
Qiu Zhihe’s hands manifested two arrays, flashing with sword and blade light, equally dazzling.
The two petite won had astonishing montum and appeared ready to fight.
"Hamr Fairy, my husband truly doesn’t know where his Master is. But his Master is very fond of him, will definitely follow and protect him secretly on this journey. If you co with us, perhaps his Master will appear!"
Qiu Zhihe turned to look coldly at Liu Su.
Liu Su winked at her and chuckled cheekily.
The Hamr Girl, listening to her, imdiately nodded, "Yes, I’ll follow the staff wielder; His Master will surely co out!"
Qin Gengyun sighed helplessly, "Hamr Girl, we are headed to the Northern Wilderness; the journey is perilous, and it is inconvenient to have you along."
"I’m going! If you keep talking, I’ll hamr you!"
"..."
Thus, Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe, Liu Su, Si Minglan, and unexpectedly, one hamr, walked on the mysterious path toward the Northern Wilderness.
