Wu Hua didn't reply, but gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
He knew why Qin Luo would suddenly say that, because a mortal's life is as fleeting as a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.
Even if they didn't live past a hundred, they still tried their best to live, binding themselves with those etiquettes and doctrines to avoid making mistakes and regretting them for the rest of their lives.
But for cultivators, life is long; a mere few decades are but a fleeting moment in their eyes. That's why Ji Mo Kunyu said those words just now.
After resolving the old issues between the group, Qin Luo put Ji Mo Kunyu back into his storage ring.
For some reason, she always felt sorry for Ji Mo Kunyu and wanted to help him, at least to bring him back to the Central Plains.
As for Jiu Fangduo and Chunyu Ying, she couldn't care less about them.
They were too sinful to go anywhere else; staying here to atone for their sins was the best option.
Before Qin Luo and Wu Hua left Jiufang Mansion, they did not remove the barrier, only leaving them some food and seeds.
"Once we finish our business, this barrier will be removed. I hope you can plant the seeds before you run out of food."
Seeing the two about to leave, Jiu Fangduo anxiously called out to them.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait. Apart from plants that grow on their own, no other seeds can be planted in this city. If you leave, aren't you just leaving us to starve to death?"
Chunyu Ying sneered upon hearing this.
"Heh, Senior Sister really values her life!"
After saying that, he picked up his share of the grain and seeds and headed towards the small courtyard where Ji Mo Kunyu had previously lived.
She knew that Qin Luo and Wu Hua, despite their boastful words, were actually very kind-hearted; if they said they could plant it, then they definitely could.
The two glanced at Chunyu Ying, who strode away, then at Jiu Fangduo, who was still waiting for their answer, and shook their heads in utter disappointment.
"Whether it's Ji Mo Kunyu or Chunyu Ying, you're not good enough for either of them."
After saying this, the two left. Jiu Fangduo glared at their retreating figures, muttering curses under his breath, and hid all the food.
Upon seeing this, Qin Luo immediately raised his hand and aimed it at Wu Hua's forehead.
"I guessed right, didn't I? Three flicks on the forehead, no denying it."
Wu Hua sighed helplessly, but did not dodge.
"That Jiu Fangduo is a dog that can't change its nature. It's a good thing you left notes for the maids and servants, otherwise she would probably use our food to win over people's hearts again."
Qin Luo also felt ashamed of him.
"Given her temperament and the effect of the Xuanming Fan, it's not surprising that she behaves this way."
"Then why are Ji Mo Kunyu and Chunyu Ying different?"
"Hmm... perhaps it's the pride of aristocratic families and royalty that makes them unyielding!"
"Oh, I see..."
The two chatted as they headed towards Duanyang Prefecture.
At this time, Ming Yi, disguised and carrying Ming Zhao who was hidden in a magical artifact, had already entered Wu Mang City.
When Ming Yi sensed the fluctuations in the barrier and rushed to Jiu Fang Mansion, Jiu Fang Duo was being beaten by his maids and servants.
As she was the second to ascend, Ming Yi recognized her at a glance. He then descended from the sky, freezing the others in place before turning his attention to Jiu Fangduo.
"Who did this to you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiu Fangduo assumed he was Qin Luo and Wu Hua's enemy.
"They were a mother and son. They committed all sorts of evil deeds, not only ruining my family but also stealing my husband away..."
Upon hearing that her husband had been taken away, Ming Yi immediately frowned.
"Who is your husband? What does he look like? What is his family background? What is his character like?"
Jiu Fangduo was stunned by his barrage of questions.
"What...what do you mean?"
Ming Yi was too lazy to waste words with her, so he directly read all her memories, and then muttered to himself.
"Ji Mo Kunyu, born into a prestigious family and of refined character, unfortunately has poor judgment and is missing an ear..."
As he spoke, he even got angry at himself.
"No, I disagree. How can he be worthy of my Luo'er?"
With that, he flew away like a gust of wind, leaving Jiu Fangduo standing there dumbfounded.
He seemed to be wondering if he had just hallucinated.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua strolled to the gate of Duan Yang's residence, took out the warrant they had swindled from Jiu Fangduo, and handed it to the guards at the gate.
"My patriarch sent me to find Patriarch Duan Yang, as he has important matters to discuss with me."
The guard, seeing that the warrant didn't seem fake, told the two to wait a moment and then went inside to report.
Qin Luo was clearly a little flustered: "Baby, can we really sneak in?"
Wu Hua was extremely confident in her terrible idea.
"Don't worry, given their suspicious nature, no matter what we say, she will definitely detain the person first and then send someone to investigate."
"Can we do it in Jiu Fangduo's name? They should be enemies, right?"
“It will definitely work. The more hostile they are, the less they can stand to see the other side do well. If Duan Yangxin knew that Jiu Fangduo had news of Dan Xiu, would she just sit and wait to die?”
Qin Luo thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
"Can she open the barrier that you and Shu set up?"
Wu Hua was confident about this: "No one but our father can open it."
"That's good. The more difficult it is to open, the more she will believe it."
"Hehe, that's right."
The two waited at the entrance for quite a while before being invited inside. Of the three houses, Duan Yang's residence had the worst architecture.
Although Wu Zhaoliang's place had a gambling den in front, its inner courtyard was almost identical in layout to Jiu Fang Mansion, giving it the appearance of a wealthy household.
Duanyang Mansion, in its most primitive style, was constructed by hand, with rooms built from stacked stones.
The roughness was as if they couldn't afford a craftsman to polish it, so they left it as it was.
When the two saw Duan Yangxin walking towards them, they finally understood why her residence was in this state.
