A golden warship floats on the sea of clouds a thousand miles away from Turtle Mountain.
On the deck of the warship stood four figures, all eagerly waiting.
When the figure in crimson robes appeared at the horizon, the crowd could not hide their excitement and immediately knelt on one knee, shouting in unison:
"We warmly welcome Your Highness back!"
call out!
Xiao Xuan's figure streaked across the sky like a golden streak of light, instantly landing on the golden warship in front of everyone.
"Please rise, everyone!"
A faint, slightly authoritative voice rang out.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhu Xuanshen and the others stood up.
"You are all my uncles and elders. Over the years, you uncles have worked hard to gather the old troops of the dynasty and devoted yourselves to the Xiao family. Xiao Xuan will always remember this."
Please accept Xiao Xuan's bow!
Xiao Xuan bowed.
Zhu Xuanshen and the others were terrified. They knelt on one knee again, pounded their chests with one hand, and shouted:
"I am willing to serve Your Highness with utmost loyalty and dedication!"
"good! "
Xiao Xuan's expression was resolute, and he solemnly promised, "When I, Xiao Xuan, restore my kingdom, I will certainly not fail you all for your loyalty."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Amidst the surging sea of clouds, warships pierced the sky and gradually disappeared into the depths of the wilderness.
Xiao Xuan first inquired about the current situation of the former imperial officials, and then dismissed everyone. He stood alone on the deck, with his hands behind his back, gazing at the magnificent landscape beneath the clouds.
This is also the first time I've seen the world from this perspective.
With its beautiful mountains and rivers and bustling world, how many men in this world would not yearn for it?
As his thoughts drifted away, Xiao Xuan took out the family heirloom sword that his master had given him.
The Flaming Dragon Devouring Heaven Sword is a top-grade spiritual treasure with its own storage space. When Xiao Xuan went down the mountain, Qin Shou had sent him a telepathic message, telling him that there were things he had left for him in the sword's space.
Xiao Xuan's divine sense entered the internal space of the sword, and he was immediately stunned.
Within that vast and enormous space, there were mountains of spirit stones piled up one after another.
"One, two, two, three... ninety-nine, a total of ninety-nine mountains. Pshaw, I almost got misled by Sister Cheng. It's a total of one hundred mountains made of top-grade spirit stones."
Xiao Xuan spoke softly, then scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that each mountain was exactly made up of one million top-grade spirit stones.
That is—
"One hundred million top-grade spirit stones!!!!"
Xiao Xuan was completely stunned, and he staggered, almost losing his balance.
"Holy crap!"
"My master is so rich!!"
Xiao Xuan gasped in surprise, then slapped his forehead, muttering to himself, "I was too hasty. I was a bit too moved when I mentioned the 100,000 spirit stones."
A letter, left by Qin Beast, was also floating in the space.
Xiao Xuan took the envelope, opened it, and read it.
"Siwu, from the moment I picked you up from the riverbank, I knew you didn't belong on the mountain. I just never imagined that this day would come so soon."
Siwu, your talent has exceeded my expectations, but the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. All good and bad in this world have two sides, cause and effect. I hope you will remember this.
My disciple has grown up and will eventually leave.
Actually, I know that when you were seven years old, you fell seriously ill. After that, you knelt in the snow and stubbornly wanted to become my disciple. At that time, you must have awakened the fragments of memories left in your body by your family elders.
As your teacher, I know that you cannot let go of the thought of revenge. A man in this world should make his own choices. This is your path, the way you have chosen, and I will not stop you.
My lifelong wish is simply to live in this small corner of the world and wholeheartedly seek the immortal path to eternal life.
This sum of one hundred million top-grade spirit stones is the wealth accumulated by my master's ancestors for eighteen generations. I will give it all to you as payment for your restoration of your kingdom.
My dear disciple, you don't need to be too moved. We've been master and disciple for so long; this is just my way of showing you affection...
Siwu, perhaps I've been a bit long-winded, so let me say one last thing.
There is nothing here but here, your master and the mountain. You can come back whenever you want. No matter how strong the enemy is, your master will protect you. Remember that.
—A note left by Master.
"Master..."
Xiao Siwu silently closed the envelope, and seeing the affection in his master's words, he was moved to tears.
I couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh:
"Waaaah, my master is so rich! I should have taken more!"
As for the so-called accumulation of eighteen generations of family tradition, oh crap, Xiao Siwu absolutely did not believe it at this moment.
..............
The scenery on Turtle Mountain remains unchanged.
But as evening approached, a heavy rain began to fall.
The torrential rain covered the mountains and rivers, and submerged the entire mountaintop.
Inside the main room, the candlelight was bright.
The three masters and their disciples, along with several spirit pets, took their seats around a square bamboo table.
Today, Qin Shou went to the mountains to hunt many demonic beasts, took out a large black pot, and cooked all kinds of delicacies, just to make sure everyone was full and to fill the faint sadness brought about by Xiao Xuan's departure.
"Hachihachihachi..............."
At the dinner table, Yi Cheng was eating as hard as ever, but as she ate, her pace gradually slowed down until she finally picked up her bowl and chopsticks and stared blankly at the raindrops pattering outside the door.
"Yicheng, what are you thinking about?"
Qin Shou asked in a gentle voice.
Yi Cheng raised her head. "Master, tell me, was it too little for Si Wu to get two roast chickens? Won't Si Wu get hungry on the way?"
"Master, actually, the goose also secretly hid a lot of roast chickens. The goose should all be given to Siwu, since it lives on the mountain and has food to eat every day."
Yi Cheng seemed a little annoyed, and looked at Qin Shou with her small eyes, asking:
"Master, what if Siwu is so stupid? What if he gets kidnapped after going down the mountain?"
"They might not feed him, and then Siwu would go hungry every day."
Yi Cheng tugged at Qin Shou's arm and said, "Master, why don't we go find Si Wu instead?"
Qin Shou put down his chopsticks, patted Yi Cheng's little head, and chuckled, somewhat amused:
"Alright, Yi Cheng, Si Wu is very smart."
He's the one who traffics others; no one else is involved in trafficking him.
"Master, you're talking nonsense. Siwu is clearly that stupid."
Yi Cheng retorted, "If you don't believe me, ask Da Mei. Si Wu can't even count."
And every time they play hide-and-seek, the goose always catches Siwu first. He's so stupid, he can't even hide properly.
"Hahaha............"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou burst into laughter.
"Really? So Siwu is this stupid!"
"Mmm, so stupid."
Yi Cheng nodded repeatedly.
Dinner time flies by, but the rain outside can last a long time.
After everyone on Turtle Mountain had fallen asleep, only Qin Shou, wearing a robe, stood alone under the eaves, gazing at the courtyard under the misty rain of the night, lost in thought.
The peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze, the peach blossoms always smile in the spring breeze...
