The ninth day of September is Qingqing’s eighth birthday.

Qiu Mobai prepared a birthday party for Qingqing very seriously.

Not only did he cook and prepare sumptuous meals himself, he also prepared exquisite gifts. Of course, everyone prepared gifts for Qingqing.

After lunch, Qingqing happily sat at the table to open the presents. The presents on the table were all wrapped in red paper, which was very festive.

Qingqing smiled and picked up one at random, opening it.

Situ Yu came over quickly and said with a smile.

"Qingqing, this is your birthday present from your brother. Take a look and see if you like it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard thunder in the sky.

Everyone was startled and looked out the window.

The sky, which was originally sunny, was now covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

Liu Neng frowned, "It seems that the time has come!"

The little boy was surprised and said, "It seemed to be around this time last year. The ninth day of the ninth month!"

Qiu Mobai frowned, feeling that there was some connection, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment.

Hua Qingqing no longer had the heart to open the presents. She walked to the window with everyone else and looked out.

The sky was getting darker and darker, making people feel depressed and uncomfortable for no reason.

Soon it began to rain heavily, with egg-sized hail in between.

All the vegetables in the yard were smashed to pieces.

Situ Yu and Liu Neng were heartbroken, but there was nothing they could do to stop it. They estimated that if the person got out, he would get his head smashed.

Qingqing frowned as she looked at the scene in front of her, and instantly released her spiritual power, but not to save the vegetables, but to go outside to check.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed and she was surprised.

[There's a lot of spiritual energy fluctuations outside! ]

[It's like a lot of immortals are fighting each other. ]

This weather of thunder and lightning, dark clouds, and heavy rain lasted for seven or eight days.

After seven or eight days, the noise gradually died down.

Early in the morning, the rain had just stopped.

Qiu Mobai and his group couldn't wait to rush out of the yard and out of the village!

As a result, nothing happened.

In the distance there is still endless desert.

Everyone was very disappointed.

Liu Neng was older and had the most stable mentality. He gently comforted Qiu Mobai and Hua Qingqing.

"Don't be discouraged. What is coming will eventually come. Let's wait and see."

Qiu Mobai sighed, "I was a little too hasty. Lord Liu is right, what is coming will eventually come."

Hua Qingqing frowned and looked into the distance for a long time before pulling Qiu Mobai to speak.

"Brother Qiu, let's go to the desert and have a look. Maybe there are some clues."

Qiu Mobai thought about it and realized there was really no other good way, so he nodded.

Liu Neng was old, and he had been to the desert many times before, but there were no clues, so he decided not to go.

Situ Yu also found it boring and followed him back to the yard.

"I'll go make breakfast for you."

"It's just in time for you to come back."

Xiaotong recently found out that she was pregnant, so she did not go because she was supported by Changying.

So Jinsuo and Jinling followed Qiumo, Baihua and Qingqing to go to the desert to take a look.

Because the desert is too dry.

So even after three days of heavy rain, the desert land was only slightly moist after the rain stopped, and it was not muddy or difficult to walk on.

They all had martial arts skills and quickly walked far away.

Qingqing used her spiritual power to sweep across the desert.

[Sure enough, there are traces of spiritual power! ]

She soon found a place with a faint smell similar to that of the treasure map.

The four of them walked over and found a blue gem the size of a pigeon egg in the weeds.

Qingqing picked up the gem directly.

She frowned and said, "That's it."

Qiu Mobai was shocked, "Qingqing, throw it away quickly, don't hurt you."

Qingqing shook her head.

Throw the gem directly into the secret realm.

After they went back, Wei Ling and the old man also came to the desert to check.

By chance, they also picked up a sapphire.

Wei Ling had seen good things before, so it was not surprising. Seeing that the old man liked it, she threw it to him directly.

Later, I didn’t find anything else, so I had to go back in shame.

Heavy rains only occur once a year in September, and the sight of the mountains appears randomly.

This year seems to have passed.

Qiu Mobai and the others were a little disappointed but there was nothing they could do.

The little boy suggested, "Master and Miss, why don't you go back to Bianjing City first."

"We're watching over here! Come back next September!"

Hua Qingqing shook her head.

It takes seven or eight months to travel from Bianjing City to here and back, and the journey is very tiring.

She was too lazy to run.

Moreover, she felt that this place was isolated from the world, and life was simple and rich, without the intrigues in the city of Bianjing, so it was actually comfortable.

Seeing that Qingqing was willing to stay, Qiu Mobai felt even more obliged to do so in order to save his mother.

"Qingqing and I are not going back! We'll just wait here."

However, he suggested, "Since Xiaotong is pregnant, Changying should take Xiaotong back to Bianjing City to take care of the baby!"

"After all, there are many midwives and doctors in Bianjing City. Once a child is born, he needs someone to take care of him."

"After giving birth, the child needs to be taken care of properly to avoid any underlying illness."

"Eating and drinking should not be sloppy either."

After Qiu Mobai finished speaking, he looked at Liu Neng again.

"Master Liu should also go back with me this time. The emperor has issued an edict to appoint you as the Left Censor-in-Chief, and you need to go back and take up the post."

Finally, at Qiu Mobai's repeated insistence, Liu Neng, Xiaotong and Changying drove away together in a carriage.

Qiu Mobai prepared a car full of things for them to use on the road.

When Liu Neng and his friends were leaving, Qingqing asked them for help and took a lot of letters from home.

Situ Yu secretly wanted to go together, but was ruthlessly held down by Qiu Mobai.

Qiu Mobai looked at him with a smile, "Are you sure you want to leave?" After saying that, he glanced at Jin Ling who was busy packing up nearby.

Situ Yu's ears suddenly turned red.

"I, I'm just saying it, of course I will always be with you."

"What a wonderful place this is! Bianjing City is so boring!"

Qiu Mobai knew his little thoughts but didn't expose them.

"Come on! I'm rooting for you!"

"If you get married, I can talk to my father and give you a position."

Situ Yu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

In the following days, Situ Yu kept caring about Jin Ling.

Jin Ling got annoyed and started taking action.

Situ Yu was no match for Jin Ling and was often beaten black and blue. But he was still smiling and was obviously in a good mood.

Hua Qingqing looked at him in surprise, "Why are you so happy after being beaten?"
