Chapter 144

Ming Qiao didn't feel moved by the following.

Ming Qiao looked at the two Yayas, his chubby face looking like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Ming Qiao looked at You Qing for help, wanting his brother to give him some advice.

You Qing clenched his little hand, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said, "It's too late to send it back, so just take it with you."

Ming Qiao: “…”

Ming Qiao frowned and agreed worriedly.

The two brothers landed safely with the two Yayas.

After confirming that he, his brother, and the other children were all safe, Ming Qiao looked around.

"Where are we?"

The place where they are now settled is a place they have never been to before.

Ming Qiao let the two Yayas sit in his pocket, and then went with You Qing to find someone and find the way.

They didn't know the place, so they asked for directions.

After walking for a while, they met someone passing by.

But when he asked for directions, Ming Qiao was stunned to find that he could not understand what the man said.

Fortunately, You Qing, who had more experience abroad than him, could understand the other party's language.

You Qing started talking to the other party in a natural tone, using the other party's language.

After they talked for a while, You Qing took out a few spirit stones from his storage bag and gave them to the other party.

The other party took the spirit stone and pointed the way to him with a smile.

You Qing nodded, took Ming Qiao's hand, and walked forward in the direction the man pointed.

After they walked away, Ming Qiao couldn't help asking, "Brother, what were you talking about just now?"

"I asked him where this was, and he said this was the Wuji Continent."

"I asked him how to get to Cangxuan Continent. He showed me the way and told me there was a convoy ahead and we could ask the convoy to take us there."

You Qing finished recounting the conversation he had just had with the passerby.

Mingqiao's eyes sparkled when she heard this.

"Brother, you are so amazing! I don't understand what you are saying."

"I'll teach you."

You Qing led him forward and taught him the common language of the Wuji Continent.

Ming Qiao followed You Qing in practicing pronunciation like a parrot.

The active Er Er poked her head out of her pocket. She stared at her elder brother and You Qing, and seemed to be learning from them.

After staring for a while, Er Er felt bored and shifted his attention from his eldest brother to other places.

She was eager to try and go down to explore.

Ming Qiao was multitasking. While learning the common language with You Qing, he did not forget to pay attention to Yaya in his pocket.

Yi Yi is sleeping soundly, don't worry about him.

He needs to focus on two two.

After realizing that Er Er was not behaving himself, Ming Qiao decisively grabbed her little head and pushed her back firmly.

They walked forward in the direction pointed by the passers-by, and when they were tired, You Qing stopped.

He bent down in front of Ming Qiao.

"I'll carry you on my back."

You Qing knew that Ming Qiao liked to be held and carried on his back.

He carried Mingqiao on his back. Mingqiao's chubby little body looked quite heavy.

But this amount is easy for him.

He really liked carrying Ming Qiao like this.

"Brother, when I grow up, I will also carry you on my back."

Mingqiao also loved to lie on his back. The little cub felt extremely peaceful when lying on his brother's back.

As long as his brother is around, he won't be afraid even if his parents and other adults are not around.

Time passes slowly.

The two cubs in the underworld were hurrying on the road while looking at the scenery along the way.

Meanwhile, in the Tianjun Realm, the moods of all the adults were gloomy and heavy.

When they came, their expressions were still relaxed as usual.

When they left, neither of them wanted to talk much to each other.

Shi Ze set up a large formation around the ancient tree.

This formation can not only protect the ancient trees from being damaged again, but also monitor them.

After setting up the formation, Shi Ze frowned and lowered his head to look at the thin dragon coiled on his wrist.

He came out with Sang Yu.

He was originally happy to take Sang Yu out for a walk and pick up his grandson. After all, his grandson's friends had come to their house and asked him when his grandson could go back.

He answered with a smile at that time, and Mingqiao went back quickly.

Now, what he said can no longer be counted.

Shi Ze was in a very bad mood and felt that his mood would not be worse than it was now.

But when he found that the dragon coiled on his wrist disappeared, he realized -

What he said just now was too early.

His mood could indeed be even worse.

"Wu Ye, have you seen Sang Yu?"

There was nothing on Shi Ze's two wrists, and he looked around but couldn't find it.

He frowned, not knowing whether Sang Yu was still annoyed with him and disappeared on purpose, or whether something had happened to Sang Yu.

He was undecided when he saw Wu Ye not far away.

"son."

Shi Ze called out, frowning and asking, "Have you seen your mother?"

Wu Ye: “?”

Wu Ye: “He’s missing?”

Wu Ye walked over and ignored Shi Ze's meeting with his son.

The father and son looked at each other, and after a few seconds, they put on serious faces and asked about other people.

Everyone was asked, but no one had seen Sang Yu.

Shi Ze didn't believe it.

He stood there, unable to believe that his dragon would suddenly disappear.

Just as everyone was struggling to find the dragon, the ancient tree in the center of the formation spoke in a weak voice.

"Don't look for it."

"There was a tiny dragon that followed me to the underworld."

After Gu Shu said this, Shi Chen was so angry that he destroyed the formation and the tree.

His whole body was emitting uncontrollable black demonic energy, and his footsteps were approaching the ancient tree.

The ancient tree smelled danger and immediately defended itself with an overwhelming desire to survive, "I didn't mean to do that."

"He squeezed in by himself. The power in him was too weak, so I didn't notice him at the first time."

And it was precisely because Sang Yu's strength had not recovered and his body was small that he was able to use the passage opened up by the ancient tree and follow down at the last moment.

That is, the three of them did not disappear together. The ancient tree could not guarantee that the little dragon would land in the same place as the two cubs.

"Your dragon has lost his power. He went to the netherworld and may find a way to restore his power."

Gu Shu was afraid that Shi Ze would really kill him in anger, so in the end, he comforted Shi Ze.

He painted a rosy picture for Shi Ze. He said that although the spiritual energy in the lower world was thin, in fact, the things hidden in the lower world were sometimes something that even the Tianjun Realm could not obtain.

Even when an ancient tree reaches a certain age, its desire to survive is still very strong.

With his empty promises and consolation, Shi Chen finally slowly put away his murderous look.

"It would be best if what you said could come true."

"My dragon and my grandson, if anything goes wrong with them, I will not let you go."

Even the ancient trees are tired of hearing such harsh words.

He's heard too much.

Although he had heard it many times, Gu Shu did not take it lightly.

He knew in his heart that the harsh words spoken by these people were all meant to be fulfilled.

After a lot of effort, the ancient tree sent these people away.

He was so exhausted that he fell into a sleep.

Among the people who left, Xie Qingyun and Bai Guo had already discovered that their Yaya was gone.

They were not surprised at all.

The two Yayas had reported to them early on.

The two of them originally disagreed because their Yaya couldn't even transform, and they were afraid that it would cause trouble if she followed Qiao Qiao out.

But the Yayas didn't give up.

In the end, they were allowed to sneak away.

However, with You Qing and Yaya accompanying him, as well as Sang Yu, the group's worries about Ming Qiao were much less than when they first learned that he was going alone.

"Qingheng, don't worry, our son will definitely come back safely."

On the way back, Wu Ye was obviously worried to death, but he still forced a relaxed expression to comfort Qingheng.

Qing Heng looked at his face and said helplessly: "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh."

This smile now is uglier than crying.

The two talked softly, neither of them let go of each other's clasped hands.

When we get back, the adults will have their own things to do.

The cubs from the underworld also arrived at the first stop.

They arrived at the caravan station.

The journey from Wuji Continent to Cangxuan Continent is long.

The vehicle they were going to ride used spirit stones as fuel and its speed was no slower than flying with a sword.

But even so, they still need at least seven days.

"Seven days is seven days. Let's sit."

You Qing paid the money and arranged the itinerary.

They didn't know the route, so if they wanted to go back to Cang Xuan Continent, they could only take a car.

There is a lot of space in the car, with a small bed and table inside. When you are outside, it feels like you are in a small room.

You Qing was particularly satisfied with this.

As long as he is the one taking care of the cub, he doesn't want the cub to run around and suffer.

He wanted to make Mingqiao as comfortable as possible.

You Qing paid the money readily. After they paid, the fleet immediately assembled the car to take them there.

There was only one car to take them there, but there were six people escorting them.

These six are all sword cultivators.

They never leave their swords, and even sleep with their swords as pillows.

The leading swordsman wore a veil. Under the veil, there was a winding scar on his face, from his forehead to his eyes and then to his ears.

This scar looks a bit deep.

Whenever Ming Qiao looked at him, she couldn't help but keep her eyes on his scar for a few seconds.

A few seconds later.

Ming Qiao looked away and asked politely, "Uncle Li, have you ever been to Cang Xuan Continent?"

"No."

Sword cultivator Li Yi held his sword in one hand and sat in front of the car with the other hand, and replied in a calm voice.

After he replied, Ming Qiao was stunned.

"You have never been to Cangxuan Continent, so how can you send us back?!"

"I have a map."

Li Yi said calmly: "When we send people or things, we always look at the map."

Ming Qiao felt relieved when he heard this.

He sat next to You Qing. Perhaps he felt a little bored on the road, so he started chatting with the sword practitioners.

He takes the initiative to chat, and the sword practitioners will respond to him.

After all, he is now the little guest of the sword cultivators.

"Is your business doing well?"

"I like your cars very much. I will make your cars again next time."

"You seven, are you brothers and sisters?"

Ming Qiao asked questions one after another, and when he asked the last question, You Qing also turned his head to look over.

You Qing was also curious about this question.

Because the names of these seven sword cultivators are very similar.

Their names are Li Yi, Li Er, Li San...Li Qi.

When Li Yi was asked this question, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"no."

He replied: "This is the name we use externally."

When they were working outside, they used names they made up at random.

Mingqiao got the answer and his curiosity was satisfied.

He did not ask the sword cultivators' real names. He just squinted his eyes and said, "Although you are not brothers and sisters, you are a bit similar. You don't like to talk to me."

Sword cultivators: “…”

The sword cultivators became even more silent.

They wanted to deny it, but when they met Mingqiao's wet round eyes, they swallowed their words.

Although sword cultivators don't like socializing, Ming Qiao is very good at it.

Mingqiao carries a lot of things with him. He is a generous boy and is not reluctant to share his things with others.

For example, the food stored in his storage ring.

For example, there are elixirs that are mainly nourishing but also have beauty-enhancing effects, some beautiful jade bracelets, and simple and elegant hairpins.

He distributed all of these to the sword practitioners.

To be precise, he gave these things to the sword cultivators, and the sword cultivators reciprocated by treating them to fresh prey they had hunted.

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

The car was still moving, but at a slower speed.

Ming Qiao lay on the soft little bed, resting her head on You Qing's arm.

He leaned his body sideways, his face facing You Qing.

"Brother, do you think we should go ask the uncles outside if they know where the original continent is?"

"No need, we'll ask the Sect Master when we get back to Lintian Sect."

You Qing did not trust the sword cultivators outside.

Therefore, he never mentioned or asked about the matters concerning the primitive continent and the Heart of Plants.

"Okay, let's go back to Lintian Sect first."

Ming Qiao is going back to Lintian Sect, and You Qing is also going to Suiyi Sect.

Thinking of the senior brothers and sisters and uncles she was about to meet, Ming Qiao grinned and was a little unable to sleep.

"Brother, the brothers will be frightened when they see us."

"Well, they must be surprised."

"I want to see them soon. I have prepared gifts for everyone."

"I'm ready too."

You Qing prepared gifts for all the brothers in the casual faction.

They talked about their meeting with the other members of the sect for a long time before Ming Qiao started to feel sleepy.

You Qing reached out and patted his back gently, coaxing him to sleep soundly.

I stayed in the car for a long time. Even though I didn't do anything, I just felt tired.

Mingqiao was so tired of riding in the car that she almost wanted to walk.

You Qing pinched his arms and legs, encouraging him in a low voice.

"Hold on a little longer, it will be here in two days."

In two days, they will reach the entrance of Cang Xuan Continent.

With Mingqiao looking forward to it so much, two days finally passed.

Day 8.

Their car stopped.

Mingqiao's little face was filled with excitement as she opened the door curtain and jumped out of the car.

"Brother, hurry up, we can go back to spicy!"

"Slow down."

You Qing jumped down behind Ming Qiao. He reached out and grabbed Ming Qiao's wrist, preventing him from running around.

They had only reached the entrance and had not yet reached Lintian Sect.

Li Yi stood in front of the car and told them: "You paid all the fares at once, so we can give you another ride."

"I'll give you a ride, no charge."

The free service that Li Yi gave to Mingqiao made Mingqiao hesitate for a moment, but he finally nodded.

Originally, Ming Qiao was thinking that after arriving at Cang Xuan Continent, he and his brother would fly back on swords.

Now, with the complimentary service, they continue to use it, which seems to be a better deal.

"Lintian Sect, Random Sect, OK, you can get on the bus."

"Just rest in the car for a while and we'll be there."

Ming Qiao and You Qing got into the car again.

They sat in the car, looking forward to the last leg of the journey in a good mood.

They travelled for another half day.

You Qing looked outside several times, but unfortunately, he didn't see anyone.

They also passed through towns.

But Li Yi didn't park his car in the town.

As Li Yi continued, You Qing's good mood gradually dissipated.

He asked, "Where are we now?"

Li Yi mentioned a place name.

You Qing had never heard of this place name.

"Brother Li, Qiao Qiao is tired from sitting in the car. Please stop for a moment. I will take Qiao Qiao downstairs for a walk."

"It's dark outside. You should stay in the car. This area is close to the forest. If you go out, you might encounter wild animals."

Li Yi's words became much more difficult.

You Qing still insisted on going down.

Ming Qiao looked at his brother in confusion. Although he didn't understand why his brother suddenly wanted to get off the car, he listened to his brother obediently and cooperated with his brother to get off.

"Brother Li, there is a city ahead. If you don't stop now, stop in the city ahead."

"Jojo and I are staying in the city tonight."

"OK."

Li Yi agreed very readily this time.

You Qing could even hear a hint of relief from his tone.

This made You Qing even more alert.

Mingqiao leaned his little head on his brother's shoulder. He blinked his eyes, and his chubby little hands pinched the leaves one by one out of boredom, then pinched his brother's fingers.

He kept pinching it until Er Er couldn't stand it anymore.

Er Er struggled, trying to escape from his big brother's clutches.

Yi Yi used the small leaves to suppress her, letting her continue to lie down and let Big Brother pinch her.

Not long.

The car entered the city, Li Yi sat in the front and took them to an inn.

"This inn is nice. You guys stay here. We'll leave tomorrow."

It's late at night now, time to go to bed.

But You Qing and Ming Qiao just stood there and neither of them went to sleep.

They all looked straight at Li Yi.

Ming Qiao stared at Li Yi with wide eyes and blurted out: "How do you know this inn is good? Haven't you been to Cangxuan Continent?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yi's face changed.

In the inn, the waiter who was smiling originally no longer had a smile on his face.

They all stared at Ming Qiao, and their eyes were definitely not friendly.

"You, you guys, you guys are in the same group?!"

Ming Qiao's little head reacted quickly, and after he reacted, he realized another serious problem.

"This is not Cangxuan Continent, where on earth is this place?! Where did you trick me to?!"

Ming Qiao questioned angrily. He thought that he had been riding in the car for so many days and it was all in vain.

He was so angry that he wanted to fight with someone!

"This is indeed not the Cangxuan Continent. This is the Primitive Continent. You don't have to panic. You won't die now."

Li Yi sent the people to the destination he had set. He and several sword cultivators surrounded them.

They surrounded them tightly, fearing that Ming Qiao and You Qing would try to escape.

Ming Qiao didn't want to run away.

He let go of his brother's hand, and his whole body puffed up like a little puffer fish.

He looked at Li Yi and said, "You are a bad guy who kidnapped children."

Mingqiao was very angry.

Along the way, he didn't realize Li Yi's bad intentions towards him.

When Li Yi was doing this bad thing, his mentality was really calm. He was so calm that it seemed as if he himself did not feel that he was doing a bad thing.

As expected, Li Yi did not have much reaction to Ming Qiao's accusation.

He simply ignored Ming Qiao's accusations.

After he made sure that they were blocking the child tightly enough and would not let him run away, he turned his head and saw the waiter.

“This time the price will be increased.”

He said calmly, "Pay me at the end of the month."

The waiter was very satisfied with Mingqiao's pretty little face.

He nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will be there."

The conversation between Li Yi and the waiter made Ming Qiao angry.

"Li Yi, you are not worthy of being a sword cultivator! You are the bad guy among sword cultivators!"

The senior sister that Mingqiao likes is a swordsman.

Ming Qiao originally had a fondness filter for sword cultivators.

Now, his filter is broken.

Li Yi was indifferent just now, but when he heard Ming Qiao say that he was not worthy of being a sword cultivator, he finally responded.

"Who told you that sword cultivators can only do good deeds?"

Li Yi said coldly: "Whether I am worthy of being a sword cultivator or not, I don't need you to judge."

Ming Qiao saw through it.

Li Yi, the bad swordsman, has no psychological burden at all when doing bad things.

He had a stern little fat face and took out a sword in front of Li Yi.

The sword he took out was a small wooden sword.

This small wooden sword was given to him by his sword-cultivating senior sister from the Lintian Sect.

"I will use my sword to break your sword!"

The sword is the lifeblood of a sword cultivator.

Breaking a sword is the greatest humiliation to a sword practitioner.

Despite his extreme anger, Ming Qiao managed to retain some rationality.

He won't kill Li Yi.

He also wanted to know how many children Li Yi had kidnapped in the past, and where all the children were.

Ming Qiao held a small wooden sword and said he would break Li Yi's sword.

His attitude was serious, but the waiter in front of him was bent over with laughter.

“That’s really interesting.”

The waiter smiled and wiped his eyes: "I haven't seen such an interesting child in a long time."

"Li Yi, he wants to break your sword, do you dare to compete with him?"

"Will I be fined if I hurt him?"

"Won't."

The waiter smiled and said, "We'll be sent to the forest anyway, so it doesn't matter if he's injured or not. Just be careful and leave him some breath."

After all, a dead sacrifice is not as good as a living sacrifice.

He wants to live.

"Okay, got it."

Li Yi replied slowly, then drew out the sword he carried with him.

His sword is indeed a good sword.

Compared with the long sword that was shining with cold light, Ming Qiao's small wooden sword looked like a small toy.

But Ming Qiao treated his little wooden sword just like a real sword.

He also wiped his small wooden sword with a handkerchief.

"Okay, come on!"

Ming Qiao raised the small wooden sword and pointed it at Li Yi.

You Qing stepped back when he raised his sword.

"Brother, step back a little."

Ming Qiao sternly warned You Qing in a baby voice: "Hide well in the back, Qiao Qiao will protect you!"

After Ming Qiao finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense, raised the small wooden sword, and slashed at Li Yi.

The corners of Li Yi's mouth were slightly raised.

He seemed to be mocking Mingqiao's arrogance.

Everyone around was laughing at Ming Qiao.

A little fellow the size of a carrot head, holding a small wooden sword, is about to duel with the top swordsman.

This scene is funny no matter how you look at it.

The curve of Li Yi's mouth suddenly disappeared after a crisp sound.

The blade of the long sword broke in the middle.

The crisp sound of breaking made Li Yi stunned on the spot.

The small wooden sword that he looked down upon shattered his long sword and pointed directly at his heart.
