Xia Xiao nodded and chatted for a few more words before leaving. Although the master didn't say anything and Ah Zhu didn't mention it, Xia Xiao looked out the window and thought to himself that it was time to leave.

"It is indeed comfortable to follow the Zou Shou Church. Even if people from the Yun Kingdom are here, they dare not interfere. But this is just a recuperation station after all, and it is still a long way from the end."

Xia Xiao's sudden words stunned Ah Zhu, and made her sit next to him and lean on him. Maybe some people think that Xia Xiao has completely turned into a demon and will be very dangerous. But Ah Zhu was unhappy just because Xia Xiao didn't accompany her well. She wanted to lose her temper, but she felt that Xia Xiao was very hard-working, so she kept it in her heart.

Having been together for so long, how could Xia Xiao not know what Ah Zhu was thinking? He hugged this lovable girl and talked about Zhenxun.

"I've gone home with you several times, but this is the first time you've gone home with me."

Ah Zhu sat up straight and counted carefully. She had seen Xia Xiao's father, elder brother and second sister, but not his mother. It is said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most terrible. She had to prepare in advance. She couldn't go to Xia's house empty-handed. In addition, she had to dress neatly and beautifully. The latter was simple. She was so beautiful that her aunt would definitely like her. But what should she buy?

"Shall we buy some presents on our way back?"

"You have money?"

"Just ask Senior to borrow some."

Ah Zhu thought about buying some jewelry for her aunt, but good jewelry would definitely not be cheap, so she turned around and wanted to borrow money, but Xia Xiao grabbed her hand and took it back into his arms. Xia Xiao repeatedly said no, Ah Zhu said he didn't understand, the war between women is not as simple as that between men.

Xia Xiao agreed and said that he would borrow money when he left. Ah Zhu also agreed, but she didn't even have a decent piece of clothing. How could she go to see her aunt? Even the one she was wearing belonged to someone else and was old.

As soon as she mentioned the departure, Ah Zhu started to worry about this and that. Xia Xiao sat there, watching her talking to herself about her plan. But now it was different from before. She didn't even have a backpack, and there was nothing she needed to bring. It was useless to think too much, but Xia Xiao couldn't bear to disturb her. Meeting the parents was a big deal, but every time he met his grandmother, he didn't take it seriously, which made him feel a little guilty.

Ah Zhu grabbed her hair and took out a mirror to look at herself. She thought short hair looked good, but she didn't know if her aunt liked it. Her performance made Xia Xiao laugh, but also sad. Ah Zhu was a good girl, but she knew herself. Otherwise, she would have a carefree life and wouldn't have to suffer like this.

"Stop messing around, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

Xia Xiao's face was solemn, with some apology, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips. He made too many vows to Ah Zhu, but none of them were fulfilled. In his impulse, he wanted to tell her desperately that when he came back, he would definitely marry her to let her rest assured. But then he thought, how long would Ah Zhu have to wait? He couldn't use a promise to bind Ah Zhu's life.

"Speak?"

Xia Xiao smiled and said:

"You are so beautiful, mother will definitely like you."

"I was wondering what you were going to say, I definitely know that!"

She pouted her lips and stared out the window in a daze. Xia Xiao watched her for a long time, and stayed with her for two days before sitting in the master's carriage and having a banquet.

When they came, the Zou Shou Church acted very casual. When they left, the banquet they prepared was not very luxurious. The entire Zou Shou Church lived in poverty. They were a group of people who did not live well themselves and could not bear to see others suffer. They spent a lot of money on poor people. But they ate coarse grains themselves and only had a few good meals when others treated them.

Ordinary people think that they will gain a lot from doing this, but that is not the case. The members of the Zou Shou Church are not for money, otherwise they should go to the Adventurer's Guild; they are not for mountaineering, otherwise they should go to the Academy; and they are not for seeing through the world, so it would be reasonable to go to Tanghua Temple. They are just for the beliefs and ideals in their hearts, very simple, and want to change the world with their own meager power.

This is a great but difficult thing. Many people are busy all their lives. When they count the things they have lost at the end of their lives, they find that they have lost a lot. There are family members who don't want to let them leave and fight with them until they are red in the face, and there are also friends who have parted ways and lovers who have broken up. But there are very few people who really remember the good things about them.

Many people think they are stupid, and they curse them after they have been defrauded of their money. Some think they are liars, and they curse them, and even stop their children and grandchildren, as if they are afraid that they will be deceived. Every member of the Zou Shou Church has been very angry, but they can only smile and shake their heads in grievance in the crowd. Fortunately, every time they sigh, there is a group of people like them who comfort them, so that they are no longer lonely, and there are also some people who understand them, like a resonance of heart to heart.

Such people are scattered all over the world, and can only see the Zou Shou Church once every twenty years. Some people were children when they last saw the Zou Shou Church, and now they have started a family. Some people who have started a family are middle-aged when they see it again. Some middle-aged people have become old, and some have lived from birth to death, but never came to expect it. They never have the heart to say how miserable they are, because the Zou Shou Church who have been wandering outside for many years is the most miserable.

Just this one sentence made countless people who left the church cry. It was a blessing to have someone understand. As for today, there was a pot of millet porridge that had been cooked for several hours on the table, meat patties and a few home-cooked dishes, which were the pretty good dishes prepared by the steward.

“Use your chopsticks!”

After Qingxunzi finished speaking, he symbolically picked up some green vegetables and watched Xia Xiao and Azhu eat. They ate very deliciously, with great etiquette, and seemed extremely noble, but Xia Xiao was now the most lowly person, and the number of people who wanted to kill him would only decrease after he overturned the darkness. He had been living hard, just to avoid becoming a fish on the chopping board.

When eating, we just eat and don't chat. After the meal, each person has a bowl of tea to fill his stomach and chat about plans.

This was Qing Xunzi's original words, which were very interesting. When he asked Xia Xiao if there were any changes to his plan, he shook his head and said that there were no changes for the time being, but he started to analyze the matter about Hei Huang.

"I have never heard of a strong man in the world named Hei Huang, but I do know a man named Bai Dun."

"who?"

"I met the leader of the Qingtian Sect, Bai Dun, once a hundred years ago. She was a great beauty with a very gentle temperament."

Bai Dun, Hei Huang, isn't this the same as the Fang Huan Yuan Bei that Xia Xiao used? His brows were raised like swords, but Qing Xunzi said:

"It's just a coincidence. I have investigated this Bai Dun. She has not liked to move around since she was born. She has been practicing in the sect for many years and often secluded herself. In this way, she broke through many shackles and practiced very quickly. I also sparred with her once. We used the purest vitality. There will be no problem."

Master said it was okay, so Xia Xiao instinctively didn't want to doubt it. Even if he saw Bai Dun, he couldn't tell what was going on. But Master could tell everything at a glance. Since they had already fought, how could he not see her background? But this name was too coincidental. Master didn't know Dunhuang, but Xia Xiao knew it. Although he didn't know the characters, the pronunciation gave him a feeling of infinite reverie.

After taking a sip of tea, Xia Xiao asked again:

"Does she have any sisters?"

"No, her father was killed by the demons, and her mother died during childbirth, leaving her alone. Fortunately, she was in the sect, so she was not exposed to the dust of the world and learned a great cultivation."

In this case, Xia Xiao was indeed worrying too much. He bowed his head in silence to apologize. It seems that there is a reason why the Qingtian Sect hates the evil way so much.

"I will destroy the darkness along with the Qingtian Sect."

This time when going to Yun Country, Xia Xiao will rely on Hei Huang to escape, and then make him take her back to her lair. As long as she sees her companions or is sure that it is a lair, Xia Xiao will take action. If Hei Huang is more cautious, Xia Xiao will consider how to get some words out of her. Although it is a difficult task, Xia Xiao is good at hiding things in words and has a deep mind.

Every time Xia Xiao imagined the battle of wits and courage, he looked forward to it more and more. He hoped that he would gain a lot from this trip and not lose his life, leaving only a ghost.

After drinking a bowl of tea, Xia Xiao and Azhu got out of the carriage. Before Qingxunzi sent them away, they looked at the entire convoy and missed this special safe house in advance. Although the days in the Church of the First Path were not rich, they were very casual. When they were tired, they would stay on the grassland for a while, without forcing themselves to enter the mortal world.

Xia Xiao could not experience such comfort. He had endless things to do and was always busy without stopping. Even if he stopped, it was just a short break for the next busy work. But Xia Xiao never sighed. He followed Ah Zhu and raised a hand like her to touch every carriage.

The carriage surface was slightly cool, which calmed Ah Zhu down and made her recall every day here. When she saw familiar people, she did not greet them again, but lowered her head with a heavy heart, as if to express her gratitude for their care for her. Most people here are sad and sentimental, because they do a lot but get little in return. They have been teaching others to love each other, but no one loves them.

This behavior is like a child reaching out to touch the wall, but it does not seem childish. Instead, it makes the members bless Xia Xiao and Azhu. Their journey is different from theirs. They are destined to leave, but they have to do something before leaving to have a sense of ritual. Azhu has been here for more than a month. In the blink of an eye, he is leaving, but it seems like he just arrived. He can't help but sigh at how fast time passes and feel a little wronged.

"Wait until you return to Zhenxun, then stop working."

Xia Xiao looked at Ah Zhu in front of him. She was wearing a very ordinary winter skirt, with her head down, looking a little listless. But in his eyes, there was still a sparkle that was hard to dim. Ah Zhu rarely made requests, and Xia Xiao agreed immediately, but after that, there were still many requests.

"You have to eat three meals with me every day, go out once every three days, and stay in Zhenxun for two weeks."

"Three weeks!"

Xia Xiao felt that the time was about right and should be enough, and as long as he was by Ah Zhu's side, no one could find his whereabouts. Amidst a burst of laughter, Ah Zhu became lively again and walked to a small dirt slope to look at the convoy.

"Goodbye, let's go to church."

Ah Zhu used to have a vague concept of it, but now it is more real, and she has a sense of admiration in her heart. During the days when Xia Xiao was practicing and sleeping, she learned about the church through helping each time, and now she knows a little bit, but she is leaving, and she doesn't know when she will come next time.
