Chapter 109 The Cat Returns to Hanyuan Peak
After walking for a while, the two finally approached the territory where Lingxiao Sect was located. Along the way, Bai Qingchen noticed that Mo Li's mood seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
The boy still followed him and still affectionately called him brother, but there seemed to be some subtle melancholy mixed in with that dependence and closeness.
Sometimes Bai Qingchen found that Mo Li was staring at him in a daze, and when he noticed that he was looking over there, he would look away as if the person who was staring at Bai Qingchen was not him.
Bai Qingchen understood in his heart that Mo Li had a secret, and he was waiting for Mo Li to confess to him.
He felt that he had given enough patience and hints, but what he waited for was not honesty, but a silent farewell.
Early in the morning, Bai Qingchen woke up from meditation and habitually wanted to call Mo Li to get ready to leave, but found that the place where the young man was supposed to be lying was empty.
He was the only one left in the tent, with a neatly folded letter beside his pillow.
Bai Qingchen's heart sank suddenly. He picked up the letter and opened it. Inside was Mo Li's vigorous and powerful handwriting.
The letter was not long. It did not explain the reason or indicate the destination. It just thanked him for his care and companionship during these days and asked him to take care of himself. At the end, there was only a single word of ink in the signature.
Holding the thin piece of letter paper, Bai Qingchen was silent for a long time.
There was no emotion on his face, but his heart felt like it was pricked by something, and a hint of bitterness arose.
He sighed silently in his heart: "Coward."
It's obvious that as long as you speak up and tell the truth, he won't blame you for anything, so why do you choose to leave without saying goodbye?
Suddenly appeared in my life, and then left quietly.
But then he thought again, he was also a coward, and it seemed that he had no right to blame Mo Li's choice.
He put away the letter, calmed himself down, and walked out of the tent.
The sunlight was a little dazzling. Lan Yu woke up at this time. He walked to his feet and gently nudged him with his head, with obvious worry in his eyes.
Although Lan Yu didn't like Mo Li very much, after the other party left without saying goodbye, Lan Yu obviously noticed Bai Qingchen's depressed mood and could only use clumsy methods to comfort Bai Qingchen.
Bai Qingchen leaned over and took Lan Yu into his arms, rubbing its soft, warm fur. He whispered, "It's okay. We'll be back to Lingxiao Sect soon. Remember, you can't change your human form at will in the sect, okay?"
As long as it doesn't change its human form, no one will know that this little fox is a demon. They will just think of it as an ordinary spirit beast.
Lan Yu nodded obediently in his arms and licked his fingers with her little tongue.
Holding Lan Yu, Bai Qingchen thought of Yoyo on Hanyuan Peak again. Not only did he not tell Yoyo in advance that he was going out this time, but he also brought back a furry little guy.
When he thought about how to explain to that jealous pet, he started to feel a headache.
"Forget it, things will work out when the time comes." He consoled himself.
He left in a hurry at that time, and Youyou was also in the critical period of breakthrough. It was not that he intentionally did not take it with him.
I guess...it should make sense, right?
Bai Qingchen packed up his things, carried Lan Yu to Feixing City at the foot of Lingxiao Sect's mountain, and rode Lingxiao Sect's crane back to Hanyuan Peak.
The crane landed at the peak of Hanyuan Peak.
As soon as he landed, he met a chor disciple who was clearing snow.
The disciple smiled in surprise when he saw him: "Brother Bai, you're back. You've been away for a long time training. We all missed you."
Bai Qingchen smiled and responded: "Yes, I'm back. I left in a hurry and didn't have time to say hello to everyone."
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as everyone comes back safely, I'm fine."
The errand disciple smiled innocently, then seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Bai, Senior Sister Su Yue from Tianshu Peak has been coming to our peak frequently these past few days, asking if you've returned."
"Junior Sister Su?"
Bai Qingchen was a little surprised, "What does she want from me?"
"Senior Sister Su didn't say anything specific, but she reminded me several times that if you, Senior Brother Bai, come back, she must tell you to send a message to her."
Bai Qingchen nodded: "Okay, I understand, thank you for letting me know."
After saying goodbye to the menial disciples, Bai Qingchen carried Lan Yu and walked towards his own courtyard halfway up the mountain.
After leaving for several months, the courtyard is still tidy. I guess someone helps to clean it regularly.
Just as he stretched out his hand to push open the gate, a white shadow shot out from the crack of the door like lightning and threw itself accurately into his arms. The force was so great that it knocked him back half a step.
Bai Qingchen knew what it was without even looking. He caught the furry ball steadily and let it scratch at his clothes with its claws.
Yoyo's big green eyes were filled with moisture. She looked at him aggrievedly, and opened her mouth as if she was about to start accusing this unfaithful man of abandoning her for several months.
However, before Youyou could utter her accusation, she saw a furry little head poking out from Bai Qingchen's clothes.
A little fox with a snow-white body and a pair of golden eyes was looking at it curiously.
Yoyo's two tails, one long and one short, suddenly froze, and then the fur exploded.
It suddenly turned its head to look at Bai Qingchen, its eyes instantly changing from aggrieved to unbelievable, and said angrily: "A Qing, you actually have another wild fox outside!"
Bai Qingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly freed a hand to hold the furry cat hanging on him and explained, "Oh, don't make a fuss. This is Lan Yu. He just asked me to take care of him temporarily. His family will come to pick him up later."
Lan Yu also tilted his head back, looked at the grumpy cat, and added seriously, "I'm not a wild fox. I have a name. My name is Lan Yu."
Yoyo was skeptical, looking at Bai Qingchen and then at Lan Yu, but after all, she hadn't seen Bai Qingchen for too long, and her longing overwhelmed the jealousy she felt.
It buried its head in Bai Qingchen's arms, and said in a muffled voice, a little coquettishly: "A Qing, have you ever thought about me?"
Bai Qingchen's heart softened, and he lowered his head to kiss its furry forehead, saying softly, "I miss you so much, every day."
After getting the answer she wanted, Youyou hummed with satisfaction, temporarily let go of her hostility towards Lan Yu, and nestled peacefully in Bai Qingchen's arms.
But this made Bai Qingchen suffer. With two fur balls hanging on his chest, it was a little inconvenient for him to walk. It was truly a sweet burden.
After entering the house, he first put the two little guys down and began to clean up their respective nests.
Yoyo immediately jumped onto the bed and patted a spot with its paw, indicating that it would place its nest there, right next to Bai Qingchen's pillow.
Seeing this, Lan Yu followed suit, ran over with his own nest in his mouth, and insisted on putting it on the other side.
Bai Qingchen had no choice but to put the two exquisite and comfortable little nests side by side on his bed.
Returning to the familiar Hanyuan Peak, looking at the unchanging snow scene outside the window and listening to the subtle sounds of the two little guys chasing and playing beside his ears, Bai Qingchen leaned against the door frame, his heart gradually calming down.
