"Where have you been?"

As the sun set, Wu Er frowned and then questioned Xiao Mingmu.

Reaching the city gate, Xiao Mingmu stopped and calmly said to Wu Er, "Breaking someone's head will prevent him from speaking and thus prevent him from harming you."

Faced with his senior brother's questioning, Xiao Mingmu did not hide anything and told him the truth directly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Er knew who Xiao Mingmu had killed; he guessed it was Fang Jia's fellow disciple who had been with them today.

Fortunately, it was dusk, and there weren't many people even at the city gate.

If that passerby heard this, he might faint on the spot.

Wu Er sighed, then shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wu, who was standing nearby, shrank back sharply.

Chen Ping, who was carrying the package, put it down on the ground and waved his hand, saying, "Second Senior Brother, this kind of joke is not good."

Yan Zheng, standing nearby, was also completely dazed and repeatedly asked, "What are you saying? Murder?!"

Wo Ningyan's behavior was different; she smiled and asked, "Was it someone who wanted to harm Senior Brother? Good riddance!"

The wind wasn't strong in late autumn, but the trees in late autumn speak for themselves.

A gust of wind happened to blow by, bringing with it a few fallen leaves.

The withered yellow leaves slowly slid down from the sky and landed in front of Wu Er, who was also drawn to the withered leaves.

"Actually, there was absolutely no need to kill anyone."

Looking at the few yellow leaves on the ground, Wu Er felt somewhat unhappy.

Since the oath has been sworn, there is no longer any need to kill that person.

Xiao Mingmu, however, said, "I think the dead are better at keeping secrets."

The atmosphere was a bit strange, and a sense of tension inexplicably arose among the group.

Perhaps feeling suffocated by the oppressive atmosphere, Wu Er patted his chest.

The pat on the chest made the tightness lessen, and my mood improved a lot.

"Alright then." Wu Er raised his head. "Killed them all. Actually, it's a relief to kill them. But don't kill people indiscriminately in the future."

Although this matter made him very unhappy, he could tolerate his second senior brother even killing someone.

Xiao Mingmu knew that Wu Er was tolerant of him, so he nodded and said, "I understand."

The others nearby listened to Xiao Mingmu and Wu Er's conversation but didn't dare to interrupt, and just stood quietly to the side.

"Let's go back."

In the silence of the crowd, Wu Er spoke first.

Upon hearing the words "Go back," everyone felt as if they had been relieved of a burden.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Wu Er repeated it again.

"Yes, it's time to go back."

Xiao Mingmu nodded in agreement.

The others naturally echoed their two senior brothers, saying in unison, "Yes, let's go back."

After wandering around the mortal world, the group returned to the mountains.

To be honest, before they had any cultivation, they wouldn't have dared to travel at dusk.

Because it gets dark quickly and the roads are slippery, it's easy to fall.

Now it's dark, and the road is still slippery, but I'm much stronger, so I won't fall anymore.

But perhaps because they were afraid of falling before, even now, though they are no longer ordinary people, they are still very cautious.

Nothing happened along the way, and the group successfully returned to the cabin halfway up the mountain.

"We're home, we're home."

Yan Zheng was very straightforward; once he arrived at his destination, he went into his wooden cabin to rest.

"I'm a little tired."

Chen Ping smiled slightly at the others and then returned to his wooden house.

When Zhang Wu saw that his fourth junior brother was resting, he realized something, greeted him, and then hid in his room.

The quick-witted Wo Ningyan glanced around and then made an excuse to go inside.

Now only Wu Er and Xiao Mingmu are outside, and it's unclear whether this situation is intentional on their part.

But whether intentional or unintentional, the atmosphere became awkward again.

Before, when there were many people, it was fine; no matter how much they talked, the atmosphere never seemed strange.

And now...

"Um......"

Wu Er spoke, but that was all he did; he had no idea what to say or how to say it in this situation.

It's time to show some senior brother authority and reprimand Xiao Mingmu.

No, that's my second senior brother, I can't bring myself to scold him!

Or should we just say hello and go back inside as if nothing happened?

That won't do. That's a serious matter of murder. How can you treat it like nothing happened?

Sigh... Being a senior student is really tough.

Wu Er's expression was uncertain, and he was thinking about a lot of things.

The other junior brothers were easy to deal with, but this second senior brother was the one Wu Er couldn't understand the most, and the one he didn't know how to get along with.

"Senior brother," Xiao Mingmu called out to Wu Er.

Wu Er immediately snapped out of his daze and replied, "What?"

"I was wrong this time."

Xiao Mingmu left a sentence and then hurriedly returned to his room.

Now, only Wu Er is left outside.

"this......"

Standing alone outside, Wu Er didn't know what to say.

To be honest, rather than admitting his mistakes, Wu Er would rather have a big argument with Xiao Mingmu.

Even a big argument, even one that leaves one red-faced, would be more comfortable than this.

"That's fine, I'll just sleep it off."

Family members don't hold grudges overnight. Although the brothers and sisters are not related by blood, they have lived together for so many years that they are almost like relatives.
