Baili Xijiang's guilty expression was absolutely hilarious.
Shen Zhuochuan glanced at him irritably, "None of your business."
"Oh, that's good, hehe."
Baili Xijiang had only poured half a cup of tea for him when he heard this, so he immediately stopped and put the teapot back down.
Qin Xi laughed even louder from the side.
Song Siyao and Wan Qiji couldn't help but chuckle.
"Your nephew."
Song Tingwan suppressed the smile on her lips.
"Your apprentice."
Shen Zhuochuan was helpless, but his voice was noticeably gentler when he spoke to her.
Baili Xijiang watched from the side, winking and making faces.
Is he really that disliked?
After a few laughs and jokes, seeing that Shen Zhuochuan had no intention of explaining, Song Tingwan didn't press the matter further.
The others glanced at Wan'er and then at Shen Zhuochuan, but remained silent.
Only Qin Xi seemed to understand what Shen Zhuochuan wanted to say.
She pursed her lips and said with some difficulty, "I might have to break my promise."
This time, she didn't whine or act spoiled towards her father.
After her father disappeared without a trace in Guilin Mountain, she realized how important she was to the Tianji Sect.
This is a burden she was born to bear.
My heart aches, but I will no longer be so willful.
even if…
I was especially reluctant to part with my friends.
Everyone looked over.
"What, does the young sect leader think it's a waste of time to be with us?" Baili Xijiang said.
Shen Zhuochuan and Song Tingwan both frowned at the same time.
"Don't talk nonsense."
“We have different identities and different responsibilities. Even if we are separated, it doesn’t mean we will never see each other again. Our goals are the same, and as long as our hearts are in the same place, that’s enough.”
Qin Xi was so moved by Wan'er's soft and gentle words that he almost cried.
But before that, I couldn't help but give a black dragon a sharp look.
Can't he speak properly? Baili Xijiang actually thinks of her like this.
Baili Xijiang pursed his lips awkwardly, "Didn't we agree to save the world together?"
He just felt that Qin Yuanyuan's behavior was not right, as if they would never see each other again.
But the words that came out of my mouth inexplicably sounded sarcastic and sarcastic.
Finally, their master returned, and they were able to travel together again, just like before, happy no matter what.
Isn't this a good thing?
"I just think I've been too willful. Occasional outings are understandable, but if I'm away from the sect for extended periods..."
She acts like a hands-off manager, just like the young sect leader.
Song Tingwan wanted to offer words of comfort, but after a moment's thought, she held back.
She has done a great job.
The young master of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, a pseudo-divine artifact.
The fact that these two words can be linked together is already a level that even the most outstanding talents of this generation cannot reach.
A genius weapon refiner, whose fame surpasses that of countless predecessors at a young age.
Perhaps it was because she was young and lacked talent in cultivation that she cared about the gossip within the sect for many years.
Now she cares a lot about what people in the sect think of her.
"What's wrong with a weapon refiner who can forge pseudo-divine artifacts being a little willful?"
Song Tingwan hid her heartache and continued gently, "No matter what you choose, Qin Yuanyuan will always be my partner who can fight alongside me."
Nothing will change because of her departure.
"Waaah, okay."
Qin Xi wiped away her tears and forced a smile as she looked at Wan'er.
Exploring Wutong Mountain is dangerous yet exciting. She regrets not being able to go with them and worries that her companions will forget her if she stays away for too long.
Otherwise, send them a telepathic message every seven days and send them some handcrafted magical artifacts every month.
They wouldn't allow them to forget her.
Qin Xi clenched his fist in thought.
The next day, as they were about to set off, they simply drank tea and enjoyed the breeze together before heading back to the campsite to rest.
After Song Siyao and her elder sister got up, she noticed that her elder sister turned around and looked at Shen Zhuochuan with a smile. She frowned slightly, fell a few steps behind, and patted Wan Qiji with her sword sheath.
"A friendly spar?"
Wan Qiji looked up at the bright moon on the edge of the cliff and said uncertainly, "...Then, let's go?"
"Walk."
Under the moonlight, the Demon Lord, carrying a giant sword, followed the arrogant and unrestrained sword-wielding girl, leaving one after the other.
Qin Xi's eyes were slightly swollen. She glanced at them, then looked at Song Tingwan and Shen Zhuochuan standing side by side under the moon in front of her.
She pouted.
Baili Xijiang, who was about to catch up with his master and uncle, was pulled back.
"What's wrong?"
Baili Xijiang was stunned.
Qin Xi wanted to explain, but then remembered what he had said before, so she snorted angrily and ignored him.
Baili Xijiang followed in a daze.
Then, seeing Qin Xi's red and swollen eyes, he thought for a moment.
He still apologized: "I'm sorry, I really didn't think that way about you. I was just a little angry that you stood me up."
The usually arrogant and haughty Black Dragon bowed his head and apologized to her.
They're quite serious.
Qin Xi turned her head in surprise, "You actually apologize to me."
The emphasis was placed on the word "I".
They used to bicker all the time, but the last time they had a serious conversation was after Wan'er's sacrifice, when everyone else had left and they were the last to go.
At that time, everyone was silent and quiet, with no intention of arguing.
Over the next century, we met many times, and I greeted them with a nod from afar most of the time.
They might occasionally meet, but they would only exchange a few words and jokes before returning to their respective territories.
They were worried that if they sat down, they would think about Wan'er's death.
When Wan'er returned, they resumed their former life.
Even today.
It's like going back a hundred years.
"If you say something wrong, you have to apologize."
Bai Lixi Jiang said sincerely.
