Qin Luo didn't renege on his promise; he not only gave him the gold but also a bunch of delicious food.
"Thank you for being willing to save me, and thank you even more for not asking about the baby!"
"What's so special about a little kid? Isn't he just a baby?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua laughed and tossed him another bag of cherries.
Bai Qing took it and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow~ Thank you for the generous gift!"
The two humans and the beast seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, exchanging glances but smiling without saying a word.
Those who were initially lost in the city gradually regained their senses and returned to normal.
Seeing that they could get out, they all ran towards the city gate.
The three people outside the city were extremely anxious when they didn't see Qin Luo and the others come out. Just as they were about to go in to look for them...
They strolled leisurely towards the city gate, as if they had just finished eating and were taking a leisurely walk!
The twelfth and thirteenth generals carefully examined Qin Luo, Wu Hua, and Jing Ming from head to toe.
The temple keeper and Jingming's fellow disciples also rushed over, and only when they saw that they were all safe and sound did they finally feel relieved.
After everyone introduced themselves, Qin Luo noticed that it was getting late and suggested they find an open space to rest.
The group found a clearing at the foot of the mountain to rest. Qin Luo and Wu Hua took out water pouches from their cloth bags and shared some with everyone.
Jingming sat down next to Qin Luo and began to recount his experiences along the way.
The temple keeper and his fellow disciples listened from the side, occasionally chiming in with a few words.
Twelve, ever the friendly type, pulled Thirteen and Qi Yu along, squeezing in next to them to listen to the story.
The abbot and Bai Qing, who were sitting to the side, found it interesting and unconsciously moved closer.
Wu Hua distributed melon seeds and fruit to them, and the temple keeper also shared the snacks he had brought with him.
After Wu Hua finished distributing the food, Qin Luo asked it in a low voice, "Little one, why couldn't I sense the space before?"
"Oh! Because I need the energy of the space to fight using my physical body, I'll recover it after the battle!"
"Oh, I see! I thought our soul bond had been broken!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua angrily tucked her hands into her pockets.
"Hmph! You'll never get a chance in your entire life!"
Qin Luo chuckled and hugged it tightly.
"No, no, I don't want to in my next life either!"
Wu Hua said arrogantly, "Hmph! That's more like it!"
This night was filled with the joy of reunion and the sorrow of parting.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, the abbot was about to leave with Bai Qing.
Qi Yu knelt before the abbot, begging him to allow Bai Qing to accept him as a disciple.
The abbot did not approve of his beloved disciple accepting a disciple of unknown origin.
Just as he was about to refuse, Qin Luo pulled him aside and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Abbot, we dare not refuse! He is the Sixth Prince!"
The abbot looked completely disbelieving.
"Are you trying to fool me because I'm old? Look at his silly face, where is the noble air of a prince?"
Afraid that Qi Yu would hear, Qin Luo pulled him even further away.
"Really! I'm not kidding you!"
Then he called over Twelve, Thirteen, and Wu Hua as well.
Seeing the situation, the abbot had no choice but to believe it, and Twelve recounted Qi Yu's tragic story again.
After listening, the abbot felt that he had received both good news and bad news!
The good news is that his grand-disciple is a prince; if other Taoist temples knew this, they'd be green with envy.
The bad news is that this prince will likely cause his beloved disciple a lot of trouble in the future! Even Tianyun Temple will not be spared!
When he was faced with a dilemma, Bai Qing took the initiative to come over and kneel down.
"Master, I am willing to accept him as my disciple!"
The abbot helped him up with a pained expression.
"Foolish disciple, you probably don't know his identity yet!"
Bai Qing looked completely indifferent.
"No matter what his status is, once he becomes my disciple, he is just my disciple. Even if he is the son of the Jade Emperor, he still has to call me master and your grandmaster!"
After listening to his words, the abbot suddenly understood.
“You’re right. We cultivators should act according to our nature. I misunderstood just now. Since you agree, then I’ll accept it!”
Bai Qing bowed to him happily.
"Thank you, Master!"
Then she happily ran to Qi Yu's side and told him what had happened.
Qi Yu quickly kowtowed to Bai Qing, and then kowtowed several times to the abbot as well.
He then decided to go on a training trip with his master, leaving the abbot to return to Tianyun Temple on his own.
Twelve and Thirteen, wanting to continue protecting Qi Yu, bid farewell to Qin Luowu, Hua, and Jingming.
"Everyone, we part ways here. We hope to meet again someday. Take care!"
Jingming and the others bowed to the two people in Buddhist salutation: "Amitabha, take care, benefactors!"
Qin Luo and Wu Hua tossed two large water bags at the two of them: "Drink them all!"
Although the two found it strange, they still did as instructed.
Only when their water pouches were empty did they truly grasp Qin Luo and Wu Hua's intentions.
The two men clasped their hands in greeting to Qin Luo and Wu Hua.
"With so many people around, it may be inconvenient to say more, but I will remember it forever!"
Qin Luo gave the two of them some more pills.
"It's better to be prepared. Let's not show ourselves this time, let him go and make his own way!"
The two nodded in unison: "Understood!"
Afterwards, Qin Luo and Wu Hua gave the abbot and Bai Qing some pills.
They also prepared things for Qi Yu, including not only pills, but also clothes and food.
Wu Hua also secretly slipped him one hundred taels of silver.
"Take these flowers and make sure you get back to the capital alive! I still want to come to your house for a feast!"
Qi Yu held it tightly in his arms, his eyes reddening as he made a promise.
"Don't worry, one day I will definitely let you eat the most delicious food in my house!"
Wu Hua looked at him in surprise and found his face full of determination.
The purple aura surrounding him intensified, as if he had already made a decision.
Wu Hua tapped his forehead.
