“We roughly understand what you mean, but if we shrink back and dare not leave Yunyin because of this, then we would be too unworthy of the honor of being favored by Heaven.”
Song Tingqi led his peers and slowly walked out from the crowd.
Song Miqiu also raised his head and cracked his whip, "Since our elders and the forces of the cultivation world have joined forces, what do we have to fear? Let us take this opportunity to cooperate with them to eliminate evil and promote the spirit of Yunyin."
The children were not afraid at all, and the elders smiled with satisfaction.
Song Tingwan, standing on the high platform, also wore a smile.
This is the true pride of the Cloud Hidden Clan.
"However, everyone should still be careful, take extra precautions when going out, and bring more elixirs and magical artifacts."
Their reaction was exactly what she expected.
The power of those in the Tribulation Transcending stage is terrifying.
Knowing the danger, and that even hiding within the clan might not guarantee safety, why then act timidly?
Instead, we should confront the issue head-on and seize the initiative.
He was proud and unyielding, and never uttered a word of waiting for death.
In that instant, invisible energy condensed from everyone and slowly merged into the clan's protective formation.
The great array that had supported them for countless years solidified in a place unnoticed by them.
The clan ceremony has ended.
Elder He and other senior members all got busy.
We are not afraid, but we still need to prepare ourselves and search for some treasures and artifacts in case of an enemy attack.
The younger generation, on the other hand, are cultivating even more diligently, hoping to break through to the Mahayana stage sooner, thus increasing their chances of defeating enemies.
In such a tense atmosphere, Song Tingwan felt a pang of reluctance.
"What are you reluctant to part with, Wan'er?"
Qin Xi hugged her arm and asked curiously.
The three of them sat in a small pavilion in the mountains, enjoying the cool mountain breeze, watching their sister and Aji spar.
Baili Xijiang squatted down to the side, munching on an apple.
"Yes, and Master, you've seemed a bit unhappy these past two days."
The two sparring partners listened intently, and their fighting movements slowed down.
"Next, it was time to say goodbye."
"I'm not going back to the Sword Inquiry Sect."
Song Tingwan spoke each word carefully, her eyes slightly lowered, not looking at their reactions.
The cicadas chirped and the birds sang, their voices clear and melodious.
The two who were sparring stopped.
Song Siyao pursed her lips, sheathed her sword, and chuckled after standing still: "Sister, Master said it's time for me to go out and gain experience."
Therefore, she no longer returns to the sect.
Song Tingwan was slightly taken aback.
Starting with her, Qin Xi smiled and said, "I wasn't going back to the Sword Inquiry Sect anyway. As for my father, he agreed to let me play with you guys for a while longer."
Naturally, it was through his aunt and uncle who pleaded with his father on his behalf.
They all thought she was just being playful.
But she wanted to stay by Wan'er's side, so that if there really was a threat from the Demon Lord, she could use the defensive artifacts given to her by her family to block it.
Baili Xijiang squatted down and grinned foolishly at his master, "I had my uncle tell the sect leader that I and Aji have both asked for leave."
Wan Qiji shook his numb hand and nodded with a smile in this direction.
One by one, as if they had figured her out, they acted first and asked for permission later.
Song Tingwan glanced at them slowly, "Why?"
Apart from A Yao, they didn't know that she was going to find the last ingredient of medicine.
How did I know her thoughts in advance and make preparations accordingly?
Her gaze lingered on her most innocent-looking young apprentice, Baili Xijiang, who blinked his large, clear eyes. "I don't know, but wherever Master is, I'll be there too."
As his master's only disciple, of course he should stay by his master's side to protect him.
Xiao Long patted his chest as if it were perfectly natural.
Wan Qiji remained calm, yet he couldn't articulate his reasoning.
“They can’t explain it clearly, so let me explain it.”
Qin Xi took her hand seriously and spoke each word as she had said when they parted: "From the moment you suddenly fainted, I suspected that Wan'er was hiding something we didn't know. Then your clansmen brought you the Wanxiang Fruit, and you asked me to inquire about medicinal herbs before."
"Is it missing that last ingredient? But where do you think you can find it?"
If even the Heavenly Mystery Sect can't find any information about it, then the Soaring Immortal Flower will be even harder to find.
The six realms are vast and boundless; where could she possibly seek its traces?
Qin Xi rarely appeared so serious and composed. Song Tingwan's eyes curved into a smile, and her voice softened as well.
"Therefore, the road to finding the medicine is long and arduous. Perhaps there are no more Flying Immortal Flowers in this world, and I don't know where my hope lies."
"I don't want my actions to hinder your spiritual practice."
Perhaps a hundred years, perhaps a thousand years.
Who can guess accurately?
Song Siyao shook her head, stubbornly saying, "Master said that the two senior brothers also often go down the mountain to gain experience. Since it is a form of experience, it is not unreasonable for them to go with my sister."
Qin Xi smiled, her round eyes crinkling, "At least, I accompanied Wan'er through the initial part of the journey."
In the cultivation world, lifespans are long, and she believes that Wan'er will find all the medicinal herbs to recover her health. She also wants to accompany her good friend on this long journey.
The dark-skinned cultivator silently cast a cultivation incantation on her, and a golden protective shield enveloped her. "We are friends."
He can protect her.
“I am different from them. Only by following my master can I continue to learn alchemy.”
Baili Xijiang eagerly approached her. Ever since the clan sacrifice, whenever he asked her for something, he always liked to tug at her shawl and wave it around.
Is it because her father's past life was so tragic that he's been trying to move her these days?
Song Tingwan's heart melted.
"Thanks."
Having friends to travel with is a joy in life.
"However, I will have to go into seclusion for a while before the artifact is repaired."
"Alchemy, you mean?"
Song Tingwan nodded, her eyes deep.
He then smiled at them and said, "The journey is long, so we should prepare some medicine for the trip."
The sadness of parting was gone, and the atmosphere was as relaxed as ever.
