Where?
Where should we look for him?
Do you know where he is?
...
Mo Chen was speechless. Xuan Qing'er, who was following behind him, would ask him a question every three steps, which showed how deep her feelings for Yin and Yang were.
Where is he?
Seeing that Mo Chen ignored her, Xuan Qing'er followed behind him and kept asking questions. She looked just like a little girl and no longer had the dangerous aura of the witch she used to be.
Even so, she dared not provoke Mo Chen in the slightest. After all, only he knew the whereabouts of the person she longed for, and she was afraid that if she angered him, he would stop telling her...
Mo Chen turned around, glanced at Xuan Qing'er whose eyes were full of grievance, sighed helplessly, and patiently explained, "Don't rush me. I'll do a task first, deal with a few people, and then I'll take you to find him."
Xuan Qing'er's eyes lit up, as if she had heard something interesting: "A mission? Dealing with people? I can help you!"
Seeing that Xuan Qing'er was in high spirits and did not object, Mo Chen thought that he might really need Xuan Qing'er's help.
During his travels to and from the Netherworld, who knows what form the former ant has taken? It's best to be cautious.
However, in the grand scheme of things, the world has undergone a decade of profound changes. Compared to before, the spiritual energy in the air has become exceptionally thin, all cultivators have stagnated, and all living beings have suffered during these ten years, aging rapidly.
However, there are still many people who break this rule. Some people do not show signs of aging for certain reasons, and these people are naturally included in the list of those removed from the Nine Springs Missions - those who are outside the rules of heaven and earth in this world are the missions of the Nine Springs Realm!
Mo Chen stood in front of the familiar courtyard. Unlike before, there were no defensive formations here. The only thing that hadn't changed was that the area in front of the gate was still clean and tidy.
Pushing open the door and stepping into the courtyard, a young man dressed in white stood under an ancient tree, diligently sweeping up the fallen leaves on the ground.
He stood tall and straight, his long, black hair reaching his waist. Even when he heard someone behind him, he didn't turn around to look at them, but instead focused intently on sweeping the fallen leaves at his feet.
Mo Chen stood there, looking at the young man in front of him who did not look old, without saying hello. His profile revealed too many emotions.
It was loneliness, longing, worry, and above all, guilt.
Mo Chen suddenly thought of the times they had fought side by side, and a conflict arose in his heart, causing him to unconsciously furrow his brow...
Xuan Qing'er looked at Mo Chen's furrowed brows and wondered if the person in front of her was the target he was tasked with dealing with.
He immediately and bluntly asked, "Hey! You sweeping guy, can I kill you?"
For Xuan Qing'er, killing without explanation was not the first time, so there was nothing to be ashamed of; she was just that direct!
Upon hearing Xuan Qing'er's voice, the young man paused slightly with his broom before continuing to sweep, smiling nonchalantly as he spoke:
"The legendary witch is known for killing without asking where the murderer is and for showing no mercy. How come she's barged into my territory today and is politely asking if I can kill her? This is truly the biggest joke I've had in the last ten years!"
"you--"
Hearing his disdainful tone, Xuan Qing'er was about to get angry, but Mo Chen stopped her.
Watching the young man's retreating figure, Mo Chen took a few steps forward and said calmly:
"Jin Yi, it's been a long time."
Upon hearing Mo Chen's voice, Jin Yi trembled, dropping the broom that was in his hand. He immediately turned around and looked at Mo Chen, whose appearance had remained unchanged for ten years, and was shocked.
Sure enough, he wasn't the only one in this world who hadn't changed; there were many others!
"Mo Chen!" Jin Yi could no longer contain his emotions, his excitement evident on his face. "You, you're back!"
Seeing Jin Yi's ecstatic expression, Mo Chen's heart was slightly touched, but subtly, his face remained expressionless, and his tone was even more indifferent: "Yes, I'm back."
Upon hearing the words "You're back," Jin Yi's eyes welled up with tears of excitement. She instinctively looked towards the door behind Mo Chen, but the person she had been waiting for was nowhere to be seen...
Seeing the disappointment in Jin Yi's eyes, Mo Chen knew that the person Jin Yi was waiting for wasn't him, but that person...
Gu Liyan will never come back!
Although the person in front of him was not the one Jin Yi was looking forward to, as long as Mo Chen appeared in front of him, it would prove that Gu Liyan was still alive!
Jin Yi stepped forward and came to Mo Chen's side, asking nervously, "Mo Chen, is he alright? He's still alive, isn't he? I was powerless to protect him during the election battle, and after the battle, he disappeared along with those two experts. I knew he wouldn't die so easily, so he's still alive, right?"
Seeing Jin Yi's expectant yet nervous expression, Mo Chen naturally knew who the unnamed person was. He nodded and spoke:
"Your intuition is right, he's not dead!"
"That's great, that's really great! I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime. I'm so glad you're alright! By the way, if that's the case, then what about Jinwu's Saint... friend, Leng Shaohan? He should be alright too, right? I'll tell that guy right away!"
Jin Yi said excitedly, and without waiting for Mo Chen's reply, he dashed into the house.
Watching Jin Yi's actions, Mo Chen frowned, thinking about the two names on the mission sheet, his heart filled with turmoil...
A short while later, Jin Yi hurriedly came out of the room with Jin Wu.
