This road is neither long nor short.

Both parties arrived at the tree almost at the same time. Tan Muxing was one step faster. He was about to reach out to take the badge high up, but unexpectedly, Xu Zaiyuan suddenly pulled out the peach wood sword from behind him.

You must use the tip of your sword to gently pick it up and take down the badge among the leaves first!

The two men were almost the same distance apart, but one sword shot led to a missed opportunity!

Tan Muxing saw that his victory had been taken away. He sighed and did not reach out to grab it again. He said softly, "Almost."

Xu Zaiyuan took off the badge on the tip of the sword: "Thank you."

The competition started suddenly and ended in an instant.

Tan Muxing returned to Chu Qianli's side. He shook his head in distress, fearing that she would be disappointed, and whispered, "I'm sorry..."

Chu Qianli didn't wait for him to apologize, she raised her chin first and said proudly: "This badge is not worthy of the stars! We don't want it!"

Xu Zaiyuan: “?”

You must put the special badge into the bottle in Yuan, and the result will be set and cannot be changed.

Although both sides found the badge at about the same time, a competition is a competition, and there is always a winner and a loser. After the two sides faced each other by the tree, they each chose one side to go down the mountain.

After the Taoists left, Tan Muxing was still blaming himself, saying angrily, "You clearly found it through divination."

Chu Qianli called him out loudly, obviously with expectation, but he didn't get it first, so he naturally felt bad.

"It's okay, it's okay. I couldn't outrun him anyway, so it's good that Xingxing can help me snatch it." Chu Qianli saw the big white bear hanging his head and looking depressed, so she quickly circled around him and comforted him softly, "Besides, he used a sword, so it was not a fair victory at all. Xingxing was faster than him!"

"but……"

Chu Qianli said firmly: "No buts, Xingxing is amazing!"

Tan Muxing was feeling a little depressed at first, but when he saw her making eloquent excuses and circling around him, past events inexplicably came to his mind, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Chu Qianli saw him perk up and breathed a sigh of relief, and caught the smile on his lips. She blinked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Tan Muxing shook his head: "Nothing, I just feel this scene is so familiar."

"Are you familiar with it?"

"Yeah, very familiar." Tan Muxing nodded and smiled, "It seems that it was the same when we first met. You insisted that I was as good as He Shichen, which made me unable to respond at that time."

Chu Qianli had a messy head of hair at that time, his brain was very jumpy, and he was always talking about astrology. He was confident that the two of them could be friends when they first met. This was completely a personality type he had never encountered before.

They had indeed walked a long way together later, but the atmosphere just now suddenly reminded him of the beginning.

Chu Qianli was startled when she heard this, then she smiled: "Stars can help people, but people have to work hard on their own. Stars have already helped me, so there is no need to blame yourself."

Tan Muxing heard her talk about the past and whispered, "But the star you were talking about was not me, and I didn't help you at all..."

"I said I would help you, now the stars are the stars!" Chu Qianli said happily, "Stars, stars!"

Her eyes were shining at this moment, as if the stars were reflected in her eyes.

Tan Muxing was infected by her ease, and when he heard her calling him happily, he suddenly felt embarrassed. He subconsciously did not dare to look her in the eye, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He avoided her gaze and took the initiative to suggest, "Let's go back to find Sister Ru Z."

Chu Qianli responded generously: "Okay."

Tan Muxing's heart suddenly moved when he heard her frank tone.

"What?" Chu Qianli seemed to have an emotional radar installed, as if as long as she paid close attention, she could always detect something.

Tan Muxing quickly smiled and shook his head: "Nothing."

Nothing really.

She had always been frank and open with him.

The two of them came down the hillside, one in front of the other.

Chu Qianli's pace gradually slowed down, looking at the Tan Mu star not far away, and stretched out her hand to make a telescope gesture. She closed her left eye slightly, and observed the familiar back through the empty circle between her fingers with her right eye, like a focused astronomer.

He was at the center of her telescope.

It is her star, and it is not her star.

It is impossible for a person, let alone a dying person, to own a star.

We should be content just to be illuminated by the starlight.

The figure in the middle of the telescope suddenly stopped.

Tan Muxing noticed that Chu Qianli didn't follow him, so he stopped and looked for her. When he turned around, he saw her following him slowly, so he turned back to wait for her.

Chu Qianli put down her binoculars in a hurry and ran over like a jumping bird: "I'm coming."

A moment later, the atheist trio met again.

Meiru Z learned that the two had not gotten the special badge and consoled them, "It's okay. We already have one. We can just collect stones and get another one later."

Tan Muxing said in embarrassment: "But the three of us may not be as fast as them..."

Huang Jue and his team were quite large, and even though their divination accuracy was not high, their collection efficiency was significantly higher. As long as they gave all the simulated baby stones to one person, it would be easy for them to get first place.

Chu Qianli said sternly: "I don't think finding stones is our current focus."

Meru Z: "You think the badge is useless? So there's no need to look for stones?"

Chu Qianli shook her head.

Meiru Z was confused: "So what is our current work focus?"

Chu Qianli just tried to comfort the white bear, but she changed her face in a second, openly making villain remarks, and angrily said: "They dared to steal our Xingxing badge and wanted to escape with the sword. There is no such good thing in the world. We must teach them some social courses and at least get back the rent that Qianshan has paid for many years!"

It is simply lawless for tenants to rob landlords.

When Tan Muxing heard that she was going to cause trouble for Qianmen, he waved his hands in panic and said quickly: "No, no, no, the badge is not mine. You clearly told me not to take it seriously and just treat it as a game..."

Chu Qianli muttered unhappily: "I can only call it a game if I win, but if I lose, I must be serious."

Tan Muxing: “?” What kind of nonsense is this?

Chu Qianli blinked and said innocently, "And if you think about it carefully, I took money from others and promised them not to show mercy to the Taoist priest. I should have fulfilled my contract honestly. I took money from others to do things for them. It's not that I didn't get the badge and wanted to retaliate. It's just that I have a sense of contract..."

Tan Muxing complained: "...you just said yesterday that we are not people who keep our promises either."

Mei Ru Z said calmly, "I've noticed that she's been unhappy with that Taoist priest for a long time."

Chu Qianli said righteously, "I am helping him to complete his practice. If a person has never encountered a hateful person, then he is lacking in life experience. This is an essential lesson in society!"

“…”

Not long after, the Qianmen Taoists felt something was wrong. After obtaining the badges, they began to collect stones, but they were gradually under siege. People kept coming to challenge them, bringing the Taoists' number plates with them!

These people did not have simulated baby stones in their bottles. They used their number plates to exchange the stones, leaving only an empty bottle for Qianmen.

The most annoying thing is that since each person’s number plate can only be used once, this group of people will not use it immediately. They have to wait for the Taoists to collect some stones before stealing the fruits of their labor, and they keep following them like a shadow.

Liu Jun was facing the tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves around him and said in surprise: "One or two is fine, but why do people always get our license plates!?"

It would be easier to find the simulated baby stones if there were more of them, but the Taoists' license plates were obviously difficult to find, so there shouldn't be so many of them suddenly appearing.

After the Taoist priest next to him heard the news, he hurried over to report, anxiously saying, "Master Junior, it is said that someone is looking for our license plate!"

This is obviously aimed at Qianmen!

On the other side, Lin found Chu Qianli taking the initiative to attack. He admired with interest and praised: "Gun that costs money is really useful. It used to be a witch hunt, now it's a hunting sport?"

Lin was originally skeptical, but after seeing her attack Qianmen so cleanly and efficiently, he dispelled some of his doubts.

Liu Jun looked at Xu Zaiyuan and frowned, "Another suppression from outside the country."

Xu Zaiyuan moved his fingers, and he thought for a moment, then confessed, "It doesn't seem to be that. It was that sword."

"What sword?"

"A sword is like poking a hornet's nest." Xu Zaiyuan pursed his lips, "I'm in a hurry."
