"So don't blame yourself for those people's deaths. This isn't something you can solve, nor is it something you should bear. Your hesitation and doubt now are disrespectful to your mother."
Huo Yuanqi suddenly looked up and looked at Qi Mo crying, his tears falling even more violently.
Speaking of his mother, even though Huo Yuanqi had no memory of her, the images he saw were enough to make him feel his mother's love for him.
Seeing Huo Yuanqi crying even harder, Qi Mo just sighed, "She loves you very much. Try your best to live on. Don't doubt or give up, and don't let your mother down."
Huo Yuanqi hummed heavily, crying in his voice but trying hard to hold back his tears, and raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
He shouldn't think like that. His life was saved by his mother at her death. Even for his mother's sake, he should live well.
Just like Qi Mo said, it wasn't his fault, it was the monster's fault.
Even if he was sacrificed, the monster's greed would only demand more, and the same result would occur when it became too much to give.
The most important thing is that what should have happened has happened. Whether it is right or wrong, there is no turning back. The only thing we can do is keep moving forward.
Seeing Huo Yuanqi firmed up, Qi Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed a child, thinking naively and simply, and was easy to coax.
He patted Huo Yuanqi's head, took out an ice pack from the space ring, put a towel on it and applied it to his eyes. It was not good to go out with the ice pack on his eyes.
Huo Yuanqi didn't refuse. He sat down on the grass, held the ice pack to his eyes with both hands, and asked in a low voice, "Why does Second Brother still carry these?"
"With my uncle here, it's easy to guess what Gu Zhou brought. Xiao Qi has never been far away and has always relied on Zhao Yin, so he should have only brought what he needs. You are too distracted, and there is not even a record of the bank account transactions, so how could you have brought anything?"
Huo Yuanqi was stunned. He felt that Qi Mo was very attentive, could think of everything, and could easily sense other people's emotions, otherwise he would not be here to enlighten him.
As he thought about it, he remembered that Qi Mo had taken the blame for him. He had forgotten about it because of Gu Zhou's interruption.
Putting down the ice pack, Huo Yuanqi looked up at Qi Mo who was standing beside him, "Second brother."
"Huh?" Qi Mo lowered his head in confusion and met Huo Yuanqi's gaze. The child's eyes were still a little red after crying, and he looked a little pitiful.
Huo Yuanqi pursed his lips, but still managed to stand up and stand in front of Qi Mo, expressing his emotions solemnly.
"Thank you for holding me today and protecting me during that time."
Qi Mo didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't know why. It was instinctive to seek benefits and avoid harm. In that situation, his first reaction was that he didn't want Huo Yuanqi to get hurt. He moved without even thinking.
It’s not that bad for Huo Yuanqi, Qi Mo is more inclined to like him.
Because she likes him, she unconsciously pays attention to Huo Yuanqi, pulls him back at the first opportunity, and can also clearly sense Huo Yuanqi's negative emotions.
Just like at the Qi family, there were clearly three people living there, but the one he paid the most attention to was Huo Yuanqi.
Qi Mo raised his hand and placed it on Huo Yuanqi's head. He patted it like he was coaxing a child, then pressed it again. "Do whatever you want."
"Um."
Huo Yuanqi responded sullenly, quickly composed himself and followed Qi Mo back. Sure enough, the people at the table were waiting, looking at him with scrutiny.
Huo Yuanqi thought about how Qi Jing had secretly listened to gossip several times. He shouldn't have been seen like that, right?
Huo Yuanqi quickly shook off the thought in his head and walked quickly to Qi Jing, "Uncle, I want to fight that monster together."
Qi Jing sipped a cup of milk tea, looked at Huo Yuanqi and then at Qi Mo. Was this instilling some weird idea in him?
Seeing Qi Jing didn't answer, Huo Yuanqi immediately explained, "I know all the attack spells recorded in Xuanmen. I can chant the spell to maximize the attack power of the spell card. I won't be a drag."
Qi Jing thought for a moment and nodded, then turned to look at Gu Zhou and asked him to add something.
Gu Zhou had no reason to refuse. Huo Yuanqi had learned a lot from the Xuanmen and was not a burden.
He said, "You don't have much practical experience. Don't act rashly. Observe the situation and cooperate."
"Okay! I'll pay attention."
The matter was settled, and everyone gathered together and waited for about half an hour. Qi Jing felt a breath approaching.
He glanced towards the north and said, "Here it comes."
No one else felt it, but no one doubted Qi Jing's words, and they all stood up and prepared for battle.
Gu Zhou also cleared the table and pulled Qi Jing to use the flying talisman to take off into the air, in order to observe the ability of that thing.
The others followed suit and began to watch using other flying talismans.
But within two minutes, they began to feel a slight vibration on the ground. As they got closer, the vibration became more and more obvious. Soon, they saw a clear silhouette in the night rushing towards them from the distant mountains.
It was a very large creature. As it approached from far away, its head alone was almost as big as a 20-square-meter room.
Seeing such a big guy, Xiao Qi shrank his neck in fear. He wanted to find Zhao Yin, but Zhao Yin was the main force and was not with him. Xiao Qi could only hug Huo Yuanqi beside him.
"Yuan Qi, this thing is so scary." Xiao Qi was really scared. It was too big. He had never seen such a big creature. It was even scarier than the monsters he saw in the movies.
Huo Yuanqi was also afraid. He could clearly feel the breath of the monster. In front of the monster, he was as small as an ant or dust. It was no wonder that the villages in these mountains would choose to sacrifice such a monster in exchange for peace.
“Ahhhh!”
Yunbao lay in Meng Yuan's arms and screamed, her fear and terror in the face of a powerful enemy were uncontrollable emotions.
Meng Yuan hugged Yunbao tightly. He didn’t know if Qi Jing could deal with such a guy.
Zhao Yin frowned and glanced at Gu Zhou, "This thing is not easy to deal with."
Gu Zhou also felt that compared to Jiaojiao who was sealed by Gu Xuanyi, this guy was simply much stronger.
This time, he was a little reckless. Gu Zhou calmed his breath and squeezed Qi Jing's wrist. "I'll go first, and you'll be the cushion. Just don't let me get beaten to death."
Qi Jing tilted his head, "Why don't you just let me go?"
"You don't have any memory right now, do you? I'm just being safe. You learn how to fight this thing, so you can take action when the time comes, right?"
Qi Jing pouted. He really wanted to say no, but if Gu Zhou wanted to go, then let him go. Only by fighting against powerful enemies can he grow better.
Qi Jing patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, I will save you."
"Remember to save me too. I don't want to die yet." Zhao Yin reminded, and with a wave of his hand, a long spear filled with yin energy appeared in his hand.
Qi Jing agreed and moved to a separate flight card. He came to the other people and said to Huo Yuanqi, "Get ready to provide cover. Gu Zhou's formation won't hold us back for long."
Huo Yuanqi nodded, and with a pull of the red thread, rows of spell cards gathered into a wall, ready at any time.
Xiao Qi retreated wisely and hid behind Meng Yuan in fear. His greatest use was that he was not a burden.
