Yunxiao was overjoyed to receive the telepathic message. He immediately put down everything he was doing and used up several priceless Thousand Mile Travel Talismans.
You must know that the Thousand-Mile Travel Talisman is a life-saving charm! It allows you to escape danger instantly. Yunxiao just used it all up?! And several of them at once…
When they arrived at the school gate, Yunxiao hesitated to go in.
Yunqi asked the servant boy to open the door and invite the person in.
"Long time no see." Yunqi looked at Yunxiao, who was taller than her, and said, "You've all grown up."
Yunxiao seemed to have a thousand words to say, but what came out of his mouth was: "...Long time no see."
"The Master said you have entered the sect of immortals, and it seems you have already made some progress in your studies."
"Um."
"Cultivate diligently and strive to ascend to immortality as soon as possible."
"..."
Yunqi still felt a sense of familiarity with Yunxiao, and silently instructed Xiaoqi to check Yunxiao's identity again, but the result was still three question marks.
The two looked at each other in silence, as they didn't have a particularly deep friendship to begin with.
Yunqi stood up: "Knowing you're doing well puts my mind at ease. Let's part ways here."
"Where is Sister Yunqi going?"
"...I traveled around."
"Can I go with Sister Yunqi?"
"No. You shouldn't be following me. You should be diligently cultivating and striving to break through as soon as possible..."
"Even if I follow my sister, I will not neglect my cultivation!"
"...Why do you want to follow me?"
"I don't know... I just want to follow Sister Yunqi!"
Yun Qi stepped forward and took Yun Xiao's hand to check his cultivation level: "Not bad, peak of the Nascent Soul stage, only one step away from the Divine Transformation stage. It seems you have indeed been working hard in your cultivation..."
This cultivation speed truly makes him a prodigy.
Yunxiao looked at his hand, which Yunqi was holding, with a strange expression. He was conflicted, wanting to break free yet not wanting to.
Fortunately, Yunqi quickly let go of his hand.
When Yun Qi checked his cultivation level, she also examined his body and found that there was no demonic energy in his body.
Could he not be a demon? Was my guess wrong?
Do you remember any of your childhood memories?
"I can't remember." Yunxiao looked at Yunqi seriously. "Maybe it's not a good memory. It's not a bad thing if you can't remember it."
"You're quite open-minded."
"So, Sister Yunqi, can you take me on my travels?"
"no."
Yunxiao smiled bitterly: "Sister really doesn't show me any mercy at all."
Yunqi looked at Yunxiao with a strange expression, the familiar feeling growing stronger: "You really want to come with me?"
"Um!"
“Your cultivation level is still too low. If you can cultivate to the Tribulation Transcending stage…” Yun Qi handed the directional transmission talisman to Yun Xiao: “And if you are still willing to follow me at that time, use it to contact me.”
Yunxiao solemnly accepted the communication talisman: "Sister Yunqi, I will definitely work hard to cultivate!"
Yunqi nodded and said goodbye to Yunxiao.
Before leaving, he left a considerable amount of silver for the school, hoping to help those poor people who wanted to go to school but did not have the money. After all, the teacher's righteous spirit was now even stronger, and his teaching and educating people was also a meritorious deed.
Xiaoqi: "Qiqi, why didn't you let Yunxiao come with us just now?"
Yunqi: "We need to check if the boundary seal barrier is intact. In case there are demons there, Yunxiao's cultivation level may not be a match for them."
Xiaoqi suddenly realized: "So you were protecting him!"
Yunqi: "...You're overthinking it...The sealing matter cannot be taken lightly. I just don't want to bring a burden along."
Xiaoqi pouted: "Stubborn..."
Yunqi: "..."
"However, besides the communication talisman, Qiqi didn't leave Yunxiao any cultivation pills this time..." Xiaoqi said, "Sure enough, among Qiqi's people, only Xiao Mo is the most special!"
Yunqi: "..."
The abyss in the far north stretches to the horizon, and beneath it lies the demon realm. The seal at the abyss's exit remains intact, showing no signs of damage.
Xiaoqi: "Qiqi, you insisted on coming to check in person... Are you relieved now?"
Yunqi: "The demons are cunning, it's better to be cautious."
Xiaoqi: "...Okay, okay, whatever you say is right!"
Yunqi: "Xiaoqi, why does what you're saying sound so awkward?"
Xiaoqi exclaimed excitedly, "Right? Right? You recognized it too?! This is a typical 'scumbag's quote'!"
Yunqi sighed, "Xiaoqi, can we stop watching this kind of nonsense?"
Xiaoqi: "Don't you think it's fun?"
Yunqi was speechless: "I don't think so!"
Xiaoqi: "Qiqi has no sense of humor at all."
Yunqi: "..."
Alright, thanks to Xiao Qi's interruption, the tense and dangerous atmosphere disappeared. Yun Qi left a trace of her divine sense at the abyss's exit and then departed.
They then took Xiao Qi and disguised themselves as ordinary people, bought a carriage, and traveled around the human world, enjoying the scenery and delicious food.
The human world is now filled with many small countries, and small-scale wars occasionally break out between them due to conflicts, inevitably resulting in casualties, but overall it is still peaceful.
Yunqi occasionally encounters refugees, and if they ask for help, she is happy to lend a hand...
There are also some people who, whether by nature evil or not, harbor malicious intentions towards Yunqi because she is a "weak woman." Yunqi, of course, takes direct action to resolve these situations. (Why keep them around to harm others?)
Xiaoqi, following Yunqi, also witnessed the dark side of human nature. Along the way, Xiaoqi went from being happy while eating delicious food to being depressed later on.
Yunqi knew that Xiaoqi's worldview had been shaken by what she had witnessed. During their travels, facing war, refugees, bandits… Xiaoqi was confused…
Xiaoqi no longer wants to take human form: "Qiqi, humans are too complicated. I don't want to be human anymore. I'd rather continue being my 'little bird'."
Xiao Qi is the Vermilion Bird, the bird of life and death; she can see through the good and evil in the eyes of mortals at a glance. Xiao Qi is inherently kind, but during her travels, she discovers that her kindness has been constantly betrayed…
She was confused, she was angry... yet she didn't know how to change things... She didn't know what went wrong...
She had kindly given the refugees food and some silver because she saw they had been starving for too long, but all they wanted was more money from her, and some even tried to trick her into leaving so they could sell her for cash...
In a fit of rage, she transformed back into Suzaku and burned these filthy-hearted humans to ashes with a single burst of fire!
Yunqi didn't stop her. After Xiaoqi finished venting, she hugged Xiaoqi and gently patted her to comfort her.
Xiaoqi gradually calmed down. She had too many questions that needed answers: "Qiqi, why do I seem unhappy after successfully transforming? Why do these people want to harm us even though we helped them?! Did I do something wrong?"
Yunqi looked at Xiaoqi calmly and firmly: "Xiaoqi, you must believe that you are not wrong! The wrong ones are those people's greed and desire! Human nature has both good and evil, and you cannot deny the goodness of others because of the 'evil' of some people."
