Standing on the ferry bound for the mainland, Qi Wenyao's expression was still blank.
He stood on the deck, letting the sea breeze make his clothes flutter, his eyes fixed on the distant shore the whole time.
Seeing that he looked reluctant to part, Yu came to his side and gently patted his shoulder.
"Leaving home is always sad, but when you return victorious, your parents will be very proud of you."
"Fellow Daoist Qi, we are men of courage and integrity, we shed blood but not tears, let's pull ourselves together!"
"Besides, your parents said that once your mother recovers, she will come to the mainland to find you. Why are you being so sentimental here?"
Yu Ye was orphaned at a young age, and even the old beggar who adopted him left him early on.
Later, when he arrived at the Invincible Sect, he finally had a home.
Even so, he still couldn't quite understand the mentality of someone like Qi Wenyao, who was too dependent on his parents.
Feeling the comforting touch on his shoulder, Qi Wenyao turned around to look at the person beside him.
Seeing Yu Ye frown and look puzzled, he then spoke with red eyes, "Just now my father said... he wants to go back and open a new account with my mother."
Metaphor: ...
Actually, what Master Qi said was, "If Yao'er is not good enough, we can't make things too difficult for him. After all, he is my own stupid son. No matter how stupid he is, we can't kick him out of the house."
Master Qi said this to Madam Qi.
Qi Wenyao had good hearing, and when he heard his father say these words, the idea that his parents wanted to start practicing the trumpet again automatically popped into his mind.
Yu's arm, which was resting on his shoulder, paused for a moment before the former chuckled awkwardly.
"Well, maybe you misheard. Your parents won't abandon you."
Qi Wenyao listened to his reassurances, but stood motionless on the deck, not saying a word, his gaze fixed on the distant shore, his back view lonely.
Seeing that he was unwilling to listen to advice, Yu also had no other way to make him return to his former self.
He did want to throw the other person into the sea to sober them up; if his cultivation level weren't lower than the other person's, he might have actually done it.
This is the scene that Sheng Ning saw when she left her guest room and came to the deck.
After hearing Yu Ye's explanation, she leaned against the deck railing and looked up at the cloudless blue sky above.
Seabirds occasionally flew overhead, their calls blending with the crashing waves of the sea, creating a truly delightful experience.
"Sheng Ning, are we going back?"
A small white cat's paw emerged from Sheng Ning's arms.
The next instant, a cat's head, no bigger than a palm, peeked out from under the clothes.
Bai Ze hasn't been by Sheng Ning's side for a long time.
During this time, he remained in a state of constant fear within his spiritual space.
Especially on the day Sheng Ning fought Luo Yi, he could clearly sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy within Sheng Ning's body, but he was unable to go out to help her withstand the damage.
When Xuanwu said that the protective shield it had placed on Sheng Ning had shattered, his heart sank.
Fortunately, Xuanwu was unharmed, as was the contracted beast, which meant that the contract owner was also safe and sound.
He expressed his desire to go out and protect Sheng Ning several times.
But he was rejected time and time again.
It wasn't until Sheng Ning embarked on his return journey and stepped onto the ferry deck that he was released from his spiritual space.
The salty sea breeze blew on his soft fur, and when Bai Ze spoke again, his tone carried a hint of complaint.
"You're too impulsive; you always act without considering the consequences."
"Do you know that when you were competing against Roy, if it weren't for the tortoise shell that Old Tortoise covered you with, you would be..."
"You still won't let me out? Although my divine power is weak, I'm not so weak that I can't even help in the slightest."
"What, you've found someone new and you don't want me anymore?"
When Sheng Ning first met Bai Ze, his divine power was gradually dissipating, and his originally tall figure had turned into a small ball the size of a three-year-old child.
Even her voice is soft and gentle, just like a child's.
Now, his complaints, as always, sounded soft and gentle to Sheng Ning, making it impossible to detect any real complaint.
Instead, it makes people think he's being affectionate, and they want to hug him and cuddle him.
Thinking this way, Sheng Ning did just that.
He took out the little white cat that had been sulking in his arms for a long time.
Sheng Ning hugged him and kneaded him for a while, "I'm sorry, Lord Bai Ze, but this time it was really dangerous in the secret realm, and I didn't want you to be in danger."
"You don't want him to be in danger, so you're putting me in danger instead?"
When Ye Si's words rang in her ears, Sheng Ning's eye twitched violently.
She turned her head to look at the dark blue fireball on her shoulder, warning it with her eyes not to cause trouble.
The latter seemed oblivious to the warning in her eyes; the small fireball floated in mid-air and wobbled as it approached Bai Ze.
"Sheng Ning, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"
Sheng Ning, who was being accused, was completely bewildered.
She pointed to the tip of her nose and exclaimed, "What kind of person am I?"
"You heartless man! You only see the new lover laughing, but you never see the old lover crying!"
Every time Ye Si uttered a word, Bai Ze, who was being held in Sheng Ning's arms, would nod in agreement.
The last fireball and the white cat reached a consensus, both turning their heads away and letting out a soft hum, neither wanting to pay any more attention to Sheng Ning.
The little white dumpling chuckled as it looked at the scene before it, "Well done, huh? All I know is that you've made a contract with a Azure Dragon and a Black Tortoise."
'I didn't realize you had other pets outside.'
Sheng Ning, who was described as a scumbag: ......
Sheng Ning breathed a sigh of relief as he absorbed everything in front of him and finally regained peace and quiet.
