Jinghu Academy.

Chen Xingzhou is watering the flowers and plants.

After Qin Luo entered the academy, he jokingly said with a smile, "Old Chen, everyone is resting. You should make yourself a cup of tea and then lean back in your chair to bask in the sun."

Chen Xingzhou was amused. "What Master Qin said makes sense. I'll go rest after I finish watering the plants."

Qin Luo knew that Chen Xingzhou couldn't stay idle, "Old Chen, I'm about to travel far away, please take good care of yourself."

"Okay, okay."

Chen Xingzhou nodded repeatedly, beaming from ear to ear, "Master Qin, I wish you a safe journey."

Qin Luo cupped his hands in greeting and entered the tea room, where only Wu Shashen was practicing calligraphy.

"Old Wu, what made you decide to practice calligraphy?"

Wu Shashen raised his head and said loudly, "Daoist, I tend to get restless when I practice boxing. Master Meng said that practicing calligraphy can calm the mind, so I practice calligraphy when I have free time."

"That's a good idea."

"Old Wu, I'm planning a long trip and don't know when I'll be back. How about we have another spar?"

"OK!"

Wu Shashen nodded without hesitation.

They went to the martial arts arena to spar, and Qin Luo displayed all the boxing techniques he had learned.

After the sparring session ended, Wu Shashen looked somewhat reluctant, but he didn't say it. Qin Luo joked, "You're in your prime, it's time to get married and have children."

Wu Shashen touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed. "What Daoist Master said is true. By the time you come back, I might already be married and have children."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Qin Luo and Wu Shashen burst into laughter at the same time.

The library was filled with piles of books. Old Meng was organizing the books, and Zi Feng and the others were helping out.

Qin Luo cupped his hands and said, "Elder Meng, thank you for your hard work."

Old Master Meng smiled and shook his head, "Master Qin, it's not tiring at all, and it's quite interesting, don't you think?"

Zi Feng and Xiao Zhang nodded, "Old Meng is right."

Qin Luo felt somewhat ashamed. "I founded Mirror Lake Academy, but I haven't managed it most of the time. Now I'm going on a long journey. I'm really sorry to everyone."

"Master Qin, don't say that. Your contributions are far greater than ours. Everything we have now is the result of your past efforts." Old Master Meng's eyes were filled with approval.

"Old Meng is right."

Xiao Zhang nodded heavily.

Zi Feng said with a firm look in her eyes, "Senior Brother Qin, you are the best dean in our hearts."

Qin Luo cupped his hands in a respectful bow and said earnestly, "I am preparing for a long journey, so I entrust Mirror Lake Academy to you."

Elder Meng and the others quickly returned the greeting with clasped hands, and solemnly said, "We will take good care of Jinghu Academy."

Qin Luo's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Old Master Meng smiled and squinted, "Master Qin, you can leave with peace of mind. These younger generation members are capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities."

Zi Feng and Xiao Zhang exchanged a smile and nodded, saying, "Dean, we won't let you down."

"I believe in you."

Qin Luo put his arms around Zi Feng and Xiao Zhang's shoulders.

Outside Jinghu Academy, Qin Luo arrived at the small temple of the Jinghu Earth God. The once dilapidated temple is now bustling with incense offerings, and there are fruits and other offerings in front of the temple.

The Earth God of Mirror Lake noticed Qin Luo's arrival and appeared on his own initiative, "Immortal Master, what brings you here?"

Qin Luo smiled and said, "I am about to leave the Purple Cloud Mountains. Thank you for taking care of Mirror Lake Academy."

The Earth God of Mirror Lake bowed and said, "It should be this humble god who thanks the immortal master. Please rest assured, immortal master, as long as this humble god lives, he will forever protect Mirror Lake Academy."

"Thank you, senior!"

Qin Luo bowed respectfully.

Mirror Lake.

The water was as still as a mirror.

A beautiful figure appeared on the lakeside.

After becoming the Water Goddess, Linglong had many things to do. When she sensed Qin Luo's arrival, she appeared at the lakeside immediately.

Qin Luo smiled and said softly, "Linglong, I've come to say goodbye and apologize. You're kind-hearted, but I didn't trust you back then."

Linglong shook her head with a smile, "I was immature back then and only wanted revenge. You taught me a lot. I wish you a safe journey and that all your wishes come true."

Montenegro.

Qin Luo went to a pavilion near the mountain god temple, where he and Chen Chang'an continued their unfinished game of chess.

Hongyao sat beside Chen Chang'an, watching.

Soon after, Chen Chang'an was about to concede defeat when Qin Luo smiled slightly and said, "Chang'an, you don't need to rush to admit defeat. You haven't lost this game yet. I'm about to travel far away, so take your time thinking about this game. We'll continue when I return."

Chen Chang'an knew that Qin Luo wanted to give Him something to look forward to, so He smiled and nodded, gladly accepting, "Brother Qin, Hongyao and I will wait for you to come back and continue this game of chess."

It's a deal.

After leaving Black Mountain, Qin Luo went on to visit Niu Mang, Xiong Shan, and the various deities of the Purple Cloud Mountains to thank them for their contributions to the Purple Cloud Mountains over the years.

Niu Mang even shed tears.

He was the only mountain god who cried.

In the evening, in the mountains, Qin Luo helped Dong Jisheng chop firewood, and they each picked some ripe wild fruits.

Qin Luo carried two bundles of firewood to Dongjia Village and said with a smile, "Old Dong, you must live well."

"Immortal Master, you are one too."

Qin Luo waved goodbye to Dong Jisheng.

Dong Jisheng was happy to know that Qin Luo was leaving, and he hoped that Qin Luo could see more beautiful scenery.

Baiyun Town, City God Temple.

Qin Luo went to the City God Temple to offer incense.

Lu Xian appeared at the City God Temple.

Qin Luo said with a smile, "Senior Lu, I came here specifically to say goodbye before I left."

Lu Xian was flattered and said, "Master Qin, I have been causing you trouble all this time and have not been able to repay you. Don't worry, after you leave, I will do my best to take good care of Longhu Temple."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Lu."

Qin Luo bowed to Lu Xian.
