Xia Xiao is now filled with sorrow. Even if his master understands him, the academy protects him, the Qingtian Sect, Tanghua Temple, and the Adventurer's Guild have no reason to be tolerant of him. He is now a demon, and the demonic energy flows in his body like vitality and blood. He originally thought that leaving Yunguo was like returning home, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. At this time, any good news is great news, but what Qingxunzi said is a real good news, which is worth Xia Xiao's happiness.
"After the meeting, the five major forces reached a consensus that they must find you and hand you over to Yun Country for disposal. Only in this way can they ask for Yun Country's forgiveness and recruit more members. The people of Yun Country said that you have left Yun Country and must be somewhere in the world. But we have not found you, so Da Xia accepted our orders and began to patrol various places in the country, paying attention to any clues related to you. The war with Nan Shang has come to an end for the time being."
"Thank you, Master."
Xia Xiao bowed his head, his face full of gratitude. Qing Xunzi asked with a smile:
"What are you thanking me for? I can't protect you this time, and the academy can't intervene. Your crime is not unforgivable, but we can't intervene again. This time it concerns our entire power, so we can't be careless. The last time the academy sheltered you, it has caused a very bad impact. Many people in the Qingtian Sect and Tanghua Temple have opinions about you. You should know that you who have fallen into the devil's way are a thorn in their eyes that they can't ignore. The main reason is that the incident in Yun Country caused a lot of panic and some trouble."
"I will take the blame myself. I am grateful to Master for securing a truce for Da Xia. Every second the war between Da Xia and Nan Shang lasts is disadvantageous to Da Xia."
Qing Xunzi knew that Xia Xiao was a smart man who understood the ways of the world and would not blame him for not being able to protect him, so he nodded slightly and asked:
"What are you going to do?"
"I will hide for a while longer, wait for Daxia to recover its vitality, and wait for me to break through to Qulun, then return to Daxia Zhenxun, hand over the credit to my family, and then go to Yunguo."
Qing Xunzi knew Xia Xiao, so he was not surprised by such a decision. However, the Yun Kingdom was indeed difficult to deal with. Not only was its research on gods at the top in the Great Wilderness, but its population had also increased a lot. It was worthy of their attention, and they could not be rude to it like they would to a small country.
"Where are you hiding?"
"Master, to be honest, I originally wanted to go back to the academy and condense the demonic energy in my body into a tree. Just like the Yuanqi Tree, I can call upon the power of the demonic path, so as not to affect the Five Spirit Beasts. As long as the expected effect is achieved and the Earth Spirit Beast grows up, my cultivation speed will be even faster. During this time, I can break through to Qu Lun. As long as I have the strength of Qu Lun, it will not be a problem for me to challenge the Yun Kingdom. But during this period of time, I may have to bother you!"
"No matter how big a mistake you make, as long as I still recognize you, the Zou Shou Church can be your safe house. But are you so confident in dealing with the Yun Kingdom? Even if that country is not good, there are still some good little guys there."
"I have a plan. Once I succeed in planting trees and my strength improves, I will accept the punishment from the people of Yun. This is a good opportunity to get in touch with the dark forces. I want to sneak in and fulfill the promise I made to my seniors when I was possessed by the devil. I will catch all of them and then kill them all in one fell swoop. This will be worthy of the sacrifices of my seniors and the efforts of the academy."
At that time, Xia Xiao would let Ah Zhu return to the academy safely, and she would not suffer with him anymore. Xia Xiao lowered his head and placed his palm on Ah Zhu's chubby face, his face full of heartache and love.
"Okay, then it's as you said."
Qing Xunzi has white hair and a youthful face, with a hint of determination on his face. Taking Xia Xiao in now is undoubtedly a dangerous thing, but he is not afraid of it and does not care about the consequences. And with him here, how serious can the consequences be? In other words, who dares to ask him for responsibility?
This old naughty boy was eager for such an opportunity to show off his power. He was a good protector of his children and could use this opportunity to show off his power. Some of those guys in Yun Country were ignorant of the world and offended him last time, but he was old and couldn't speak up. He seemed stubborn, but that didn't mean he didn't have a temper.
There is no doubt that Qing Xunzi is good to Xia Xiao, but is this kind of kindness really because of the brand on his body as Quedan said, or is there another reason?
Xia Xiao hesitated for a moment, his movements were a little slow, and he seemed a little absent-minded. When Qing Xunzi asked him what was wrong, he just closed his eyes and didn't speak immediately. Some things can't be solved by speaking out, but Xia Xiao still had to say it, just looking for the right entry point.
In a simple eye contact, Xia Xiao's respect for his master made him tell everything he had experienced. He never hid anything from his master, and told him everything, but this incident made the atmosphere a little awkward, because by the end of what Xia Xiao said, he could no longer figure out what the intentions of Ren Huang and Que Dan were, but Xia Xiao's discovery surprised Qing Xunzi.
"Is she really on the moon?"
Xia Xiao nodded, and thunder roared in his heart. His mind, which had not moved for thousands of years, trembled so violently for the first time. It was also the first time that Xia Xiao saw his master react so strongly, as if he had seen something incredible. But according to Que Dan, his master should be a chess piece placed by Yu Shangyan in the Great Wilderness, but this reaction was not like that. He chose to believe in his master. His master would not have the scheming and leisure to pretend in front of him. But his heart was firm, but Qing Xunzi was shaken.
He looked up, first at the sky, then at the moon. He saw through the smog of the world, through the dark clouds, and saw the waning moon behind. He sighed deeply, full of disappointment, and Xia Xiao felt sad when he saw it.
After waiting for thousands of years, the faith he held in his hands was shattered. He supported Xia Xiao to go and explore what he wanted to know. But he didn't expect that Xia Xiao would bring such news. This was something Qing Xunzi had never expected, and even now he couldn't believe it. How could the emperor go to the moon? What kind of suffering did she go through? What kind of existence is the world above the wilderness?
After thinking about it, Qingxunzi asked urgently:
"Is there any reaction to the brand on your body?"
Xia Xiao nodded, shattering Qing Xunzi's hope. He was like a young boy who thought that if he worked hard, he could catch up with the goddess in his eyes. But he didn't expect that not only did he fail to catch up, but her situation was so embarrassing, even worse than his own in the human world.
Qingxunzi was always very serious in front of outsiders, because in order to establish his authority, the Zou Shou Church must maintain its purity, and the peace doctrine they preached would be effective. Over the years, the places they passed by were all blessed by God, but a small place could not escape the influence of the whole, so once they left, they became the same as before, or even worse.
When one exists, it is peaceful; but when two exist together, there will inevitably be conflicts. Fighting is common, and intrigues will continue until one side disappears from the local history.
In front of his own people, Qing Xunzi was always very naughty and could not be serious, and he did not regard himself as the Pope. He was not proud of that position at all. The stronger a person was, the clearer his understanding of his own strength was. He knew that his ability was not great, but the person he compared himself with was always the Human Emperor.
Others revered Yu Shangyan, and Qing Xunzi even regarded her as a deity, always keeping her in his heart. If someone disrespected him, he would not care. Everyone has his own opinion, and it is not a very stupid thing to fight because of different opinions.
This is the doctrine promoted by Qing Xunzi. True peace does not mean that a hundred people always have the same opinion, but that even if ninety-nine of a hundred people have different opinions, they can be polite to each other and avoid war. This is peace and respect for each other.
Whether he was a serious Qingxunzi or a naughty boy, he had always been doing the same thing, but now he was in a state of confusion. No matter what he comprehended, he could not use the complete five elements. This was his shortcoming as a talisman master, and it was also where he was not as good as Yu Shangyan. But he was sweating and panicking, which made Xia Xiao worried and asked:
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"fine."
Qing Xunzi shook his head and said it was okay several times. But his lips trembled, his beard trembled, and his cloudy eyes were full of confusion. He had suffered a blow that he could not bear. Even if it was just a sentence from Xia Xiao, it could make this clone shatter immediately, turning into a white mist on the ground, leaving only a familiar cattail leaf fan.
“Master…”
Xia Xiao murmured, firmly believing that things were not as simple as he thought. The relationship between Master and Yu Shangyan must be different from what Que Dan said. Not everyone's existence is like a conspiracy theory, but he became curious and wanted to know about Master's past. What did such a legendary person experience? He didn't know yet, but he wanted to know.
Picking up Ah Zhu, Xia Xiao stood up and almost fell. He was still drunk, and thought he was awake, but his body's reaction was the most real. Steadying himself, Xia Xiao forgot to use his vitality to force the wine out. He thought he was sober, and hugged Ah Zhu like a gentleman, then walked to the other side of the table and held the ancient cattail leaf fan with extraordinary patterns.
In an instant, the palm-leaf fan brought up a soft light, which encompassed Xia Xiao and Azhu, causing them to disappear from the spot and ascend to the sky.
Qing Xunzi seemed to know what path Xia Xiao would take, so he brought her a palm leaf fan. Xia Xiao sat in the warm transparent shield, looked at the beach night market getting farther and farther away, sighed sorry to the boss, and then left in a hurry without leaving a trace, passing through the clouds.
The boss was not impressed by this table of guests. He had received at least hundreds of guests a night, drank with some bold guests, and quarreled with some bad-tempered people. But the table full of ruins made him think of the cold-faced man and the sweet-smiling girl.
"Want to eat a free meal?"
The boss was stunned for a long time, and suddenly reacted. He angrily called the waiters, scolding them for not having eyes, and told them to report to the police. These two people are like dogs, one table is equivalent to several tables, since they don't pay. But how can they find Xia Xiao and the others? They have penetrated the clouds and fog and headed to the extreme north.
The cattail leaf fan is one of Qing Xunzi's two great spiritual weapons. Although it is rarely used and no one has seen its power, one can see how powerful it is just by looking at its speed.
This speed is like chasing stars and catching up with the moon. When Xia Xiao woke up, the sky was still dark and he had already reached the barbarian grassland of Goulong Bang. They rode on cattail leaves and hung in the sky. Below them was the camp of the Zoushou Church, but there was no one in sight, so no one must have gotten up yet.
