Mu Qing asked Tao Wuqing what his plans were for the future, and if he had the chance to leave the mortal realm and go to the world where his ancestors lived, would he want to leave with him?
Tao Wuqing reached out and took Gu Jixuan's arm beside her, and smiled sweetly at Mu Qing, saying, "I am already very satisfied to be able to see my ancestors' clansmen."
"Although staying here means only a hundred years of life, as long as I can be with the people I care about, what does the length of life matter?"
He paused, then added in a serious tone, "Didn't the storyteller also say, 'It's better to enjoy a moment of pleasure with a beautiful woman than to be lonely and forgotten for a hundred years'?"
Upon hearing his words, Mu Qing and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Gu Jixuan, who had been listening quietly, also smiled and reached out to hold Tao Wuqing's hand.
Feeling the warmth emanating from Tao Wuqing's palm, he felt much more at ease. After more than ten years of companionship, he had grown accustomed to the boy's playful antics by his side.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing nodded, respecting his decision.
The group sat together and chatted casually for a while before Tao Wuqing and the other person got up to say goodbye and leave.
Mu Qing turned to look at Murong Yu beside her. This man never asked many questions, such as who he was or where he came from...
In fact, Mu Qing had considered being honest with Murong Yu, but he had a vague premonition that his current identity was not the real him, and perhaps his identity in his previous life was not the real him either.
He instinctively felt that his true identity was greatly connected to the person beside him.
Since he himself hasn't figured out who he is, where he comes from, or where he's going, let's not say anything more for now.
After being distracted by Tao Wuqing's matter, Murong Yu, who was originally in a low mood, had now adjusted his emotions.
Murong Yu asked, "Aqing, I want to go back to the capital to visit my brother. Would you like to come with me?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing turned to look at Murong Yu, smiled slightly, shook her head, and said gently, "I won't return to the capital for now. I'm going to Jiangnan to settle some karmic debts."
Mu Qing originally wanted to remind Murong Yu that now that he had embarked on cultivation, he should not have too much involvement with the mortal world.
But he swallowed the words back and didn't say them. Instead, he took out four Blood Spirit Fruits and handed them to him, smiling slightly, "These are for replenishing blood and qi. They are mild and can be eaten by ordinary people. Take them with you."
Murong Yu accepted the Blood Spirit Fruit and replied, "Alright, I'll come to Jiangnan to find you after I've met my brother."
Mu Qing smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."
On the small road in the northwest border
The two, Wu Wang and his companion, walked forward under the moonlight.
After the war ended, Wu Wang and Kong Jue did not appear in public; they left quietly.
As we walked back to Tianfo Temple, the white moonlight poured down, as if covering the ground with a layer of silver frost.
In the quiet night, the occasional chirping of insects and croaking of frogs can be heard, creating a scene that is both tranquil and lively.
Listening to the unhurried, steady, and rhythmic footsteps ahead.
Kongjue pulled his wandering thoughts back and asked, "Master, was that man in blue the destined person you were waiting for on the Heavenly Ladder back then?"
"I saw the Bodhi seed beads on his hand; it was the same string of beads that man wore back then, but..."
Wu Wang continued, "It's just that it's been nurtured by the power of merit, so its radiance is restrained and it's no longer like an ordinary thing, right?"
Upon hearing this, Kongjue suddenly realized and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Kongjue pressed on, "Master, is he that old friend of yours?"
Wu Wang smiled mysteriously, put his hands together and said, "The Buddha said, it cannot be spoken."
"Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said."
Kongjue knew that his master's expression meant he wouldn't tell him the answer, so he silently shut his mouth, and the two continued to walk slowly under the night sky.
