Chapter 59

From a distance the islands seem like scattered stars, but only the gods can find a way through.

It is said that there are five fairy mountains overseas, namely Daiyi, Yuanjiao, Fangzhang, Yingzhou and Penglai. The fairy mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, and there are rare treasures and exotic animals in them. They are the places where immortals live.

As the ship sailed, an island appeared on the boundless sea. From a distance, the island seemed to float on the sea like a cloud, just like the legendary fairy mountain overseas.

After the ship docked, the Qixing Island disciples patrolling the shore stepped forward one by one. After seeing who was coming, they showed some surprise in their eyes, "Big Brother!"

Mu Mengxi looked at his fellow students beside him and nodded in response one by one. It was not difficult to see that he was quite respected by his fellow students on Qixing Island. Looking at the fellow students around him, perhaps because he was homesick, he was a little hesitant for a moment.

I don’t know if Mu Ruoyan noticed something, but she immediately squeezed in front of Mu Mengxi, like a mother hen protecting her cubs.

"Alright, alright, stop surrounding me. The Sect Leader is still waiting for me to come over!"

Mu Ruoyan said as she pulled Mu Mengxi's sleeve and left, signaling with her eyes for Shuang Beier and the other man to follow.

Perhaps she didn't react in time, and Mu Mengxi was really pulled by the sleeve and walked all the way until Mu Ruoyan stopped outside the hall.

"Brother, two young knights, I have asked someone to inform the master of your return. According to the time, the master should be waiting for you three in the main hall now." Mu Ruoyan said as she led the three people into the hall. She couldn't help but glance at Mu Mengxi worriedly as she spoke. After years of getting along with each other, she knew the temperament of her eldest brother very well. She was afraid that her brother would blame everything on her. Once a person who practices martial arts is persistent in his pursuit, it is easy for him to fall into it and be unable to escape from it for the rest of his life.

The man waiting in the hall had long black hair, but judging by his appearance, he was only in his early thirties. The white clothes made him look like an immortal, and his eyes had the calmness of an elder.

"Master, I am an unfilial disciple and have failed to protect my fellow disciples." Mu Mengxi revealed his vulnerability in front of his teacher. At this moment, he was no longer the eldest senior brother who shouldered the future of Qixing Island, but just a child who could only seek comfort from his teacher because of pain and self-blame.

Seeing his disciple, whom he had personally raised, in such pain, Shen Qiulin's eyes became red. He helped him up, with mixed feelings for a moment, and finally said, "Good boy, it's good that you're back."

After comforting Mu Mengxi for a few words, Shen Qiulin looked at Shuang Bei and Ye Yunhao and said, "Shen thanks the two young heroes for their help. Qixing Island will always remember this kindness."

Since Shen Qiulin mentioned the Seven Star Island, it showed the attitude of the entire sect. The fact that a sect would remember his kindness was enough to prove Shen Qiulin's sincerity.

"Master Shen, you are too polite. If we encounter the same situation, I am sure Senior Brother Mu will definitely help us." Ye Yunhao said bluntly.

Shen Qiulin smiled. He was determined to remember this favor. "You two young men have been exhausted from the long journey. I'm sure you need to rest." He then instructed Mu Ruoyan, whose eyes were almost glued to Mu Mengxi, to take Shuang Bei and the other to the guest room to rest. He also asked them to stay on Qixing Island for a while longer to show his hospitality.

Mu Mengxi had just returned, and she must have a lot to say to Sect Master Shen. Ye Yunhao naturally would not stay in the hall to disturb the master and disciple from talking about their true feelings. He immediately agreed and left with Shuangbei and Mu Ruoyan.

Although Mu Ruoyan was worried about her senior brother, she quickly adjusted her mood and began to introduce the Seven Star Island to the two of them. At the same time, she secretly inquired about what her senior brother had experienced during the days he was away from the island.

Ye Yunhao was a bit of a chatterbox by nature, and under Mu Ruoyan's guidance, he recounted his experiences of the past few days. Shuang Bei did not say anything to interrupt their conversation, as he knew that Mu Ruoyan had no ill intentions. She did this for only two reasons: one was to care about her senior brother, and the other was to be curious about what was happening outside the island.

At first, Mu Ruoyan did want to ask some questions, but soon she was attracted by what Ye Yunhao said, so in a short period of time, Ye Yunhao got a tacit support.

The news of the sword test competition has spread to all places. During after-dinner teatime, some people never tire of talking about the excitement of the competition among the young martial arts players that day. The Qixing Island is also paying attention to the sword test competition. Looking at Ye Yunhao who is still telling interesting stories in front of her, and thinking of the appearance of the champion described by everyone, Mu Ruoyan smiled unconsciously. The other party is more vivid than she imagined.

She was equally curious about the other young hero, even more so. After all, he was the one who could shake the world with one sword in the eyes of others. However, word of mouth always exaggerates. Mu Ruoyan believed in her own eyes more, but she knew her limits. She only took a few sneak glances along the way. At present, she could only judge that the other party seemed to be in poor health. After all, his face was a little paler than hers.

Although it was Mu Ruoyan who was asking questions, it was obvious that the two of them were having a great time chatting, and Shuang Bei also got a lot of information from it. For example, Sect Leader Shen had never thought of taking in a disciple, but he happened to meet the abandoned Mu Mengxi, and so due to a miraculous fate he accepted this disciple. For another example, perhaps because of his master, Mu Mengxi picked up Mu Ruoyan from the seaside, and although Mu Ruoyan was eventually accepted by the Sect Leader, the task of taking care of Mu Ruoyan fell entirely on Mu Mengxi, so Mu Mengxi could be said to be both a father and a mother, and he looked calm at a young age.

"Even my name was given by my senior brother." Mu Ruoyan said with bright eyes. The smile on her face always became brighter when she mentioned her senior brother.
