After organizing his thoughts and looking at Mu Qingxue with gratitude again, Ning Jie took out the Vermillion Bird Egg that Si Luo had transformed into and carefully placed it into the Fountain of Eternal Youth.
He also stroked the eggshell twice very gently.
Then, as if sensing the surging vitality around it, the surface of the Vermillion Bird Egg gradually began to emit a crimson glow.
Then, the breath of life in the Fountain of Eternal Youth quickly rushed towards the Vermillion Bird Egg as if it felt the call.
It was almost visible to the naked eye that a small cloud of auspicious life formed entirely from the breath of life quickly above the Vermillion Bird egg.
The Vermillion Bird egg also began to gradually come to life and grew very slowly.
Ning Jie was so excited when he saw this scene that he almost jumped up.
"Finally! Xixi, look, Junior Sister is about to achieve Nirvana!"
As he spoke, Ning Jie's eyes became blurred.
All the hardships and difficulties along the way disappeared at this moment, and all that was left was joy.
Seeing Ning Jie crying with joy, Mu Qingxue wanted to go forward to comfort him, but Chu Xi was one step faster and hurried forward to hug Ning Jie in her arms.
He patted Ning Jie's back gently as if coaxing a child.
"It's okay, Senior Brother. It's a good thing that Junior Sister can be resurrected. Everything will be fine in the future, right?"
Ning Jie didn't think too much at this time. He buried his head in front of Chu Xi and smiled faintly. He didn't feel the chill gradually emanating from Mu Qingxue, who was standing beside him with a dark face.
Soon, Ning Jie's emotions stabilized. He looked at the slowly growing Vermillion Bird egg again and said to Mu Qingxue.
"Qingxue, I want to stay here and guard Si Luo in case anything happens. Is that okay?"
After all, this is the most important holy place of the Immortal Clan. If Mu Qingxue disagrees, it will not be easy for him to stay here.
However, he believed that Mu Qingxue would definitely help him protect Si Luo.
Mu Qingxue curled her lips in dissatisfaction and said with her head half turned.
"You can stay if you want. No one will chase you away."
Ning Jie was overjoyed and excitedly picked up Mu Qingxue and spun around in place to celebrate, which made Mu Qingxue's face turn red instantly. She begged him to let go.
Just when Chu Xi was about to go forward for a hug, Ning Jie suddenly felt the movement of the communication jade talisman. He took a closer look and found that it was sent by Xia Wanqing.
After reading the content of the message, Ning Jie's face suddenly became solemn, and the joy brought by Si Luo's resurrection was instantly dissipated.
"The ancient kingdom of Galan in the Western Regions is going to war with the Great Xia Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingxue and Chu Xi were both stunned and realized the seriousness of the matter.
The ancient kingdom of Galan was a terrifying force that had been passed down for who knows how many years. No one knew what kind of heritage such an ancient kingdom possessed.
But what is certain is that even for the current Great Xia Dynasty, it is definitely a behemoth!
For a moment, the air seemed to become a little solemn. Ning Jie frowned, his brain working fast, thinking about how to deal with the situation.
Mu Qingxue and Chu Xi didn't say anything, knowing that they shouldn't disturb Ning Jie at this time.
After a long time, Ning Jie looked at Mu Qingxue, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
"Qingxue, I can't stay here anymore. Si Luo needs your care."
Although she had anticipated this result, Mu Qingxue still had a look of disappointment that was hard to conceal on her face.
She didn't blame him, but just gently helped him tidy up his hair.
"When do we leave?"
"Three days later."
"good……"
Mu Qingxue wanted to say something, but she knew the seriousness of the matter, so she just bit her lip and said nothing more.
After taking another look at the Vermillion Bird Egg that Si Luo had transformed into, Ning Jie and his companions left the sacred mountain.
Along the way, Ning Jie and the other two didn't speak.
Ning Jie felt guilty towards Si Luo and Mu Qingxue, while Mu Qingxue was reluctant to let Ning Jie go because she knew he would be leaving soon.
As for Chu Xi, based on Ning Jie's personality, she had already anticipated that Ning Jie would abandon her to enjoy her own world with Mu Qingxue, and she was feeling depressed.
The three of them had different thoughts. At dinner, except for Chu Xi who buried her head in eating as if in a sullen manner, the other two did not eat much.
After looking at each other, Ning Jie and Mu Qingxue stood up at the same time in tacit understanding, and Mu Qingxue was the first to walk out the door.
Ning Jie glanced at Chu Xi who was concentrating on eating, and seeing that the other party didn't want to pay attention to him at all, he followed her out angrily and could only coax them one by one!
Catching up with Mu Qingxue, the two of them took a slow walk among the Immortal Clan. As the breeze lifted the willow branches, their hands quietly clasped together.
Loss and guilt turned into reluctance, lingering in the hearts of the two, but no one spoke.
They walked to a meadow surrounded by geraniums swaying in the wind. Their pace slowed down at the same time. Looking at the extremely familiar plants and trees around them, their thoughts gradually drifted away.
"It's so quiet here, even the insects and birds are tacitly keeping quiet."
"Yeah, no wonder we can enjoy such a quiet time."
The tranquility of this moment made Ning Jie think of the time he spent with Mu Qingxue in his previous life, also on this meadow full of geraniums.
…
The past came flooding back to their minds, and they were both silent for a long time.
"You...be careful, stay alive, and come back."
Mu Qingxue lowered her head, her voice low but still gentle.
Feeling Mu Qingxue's worry, Ning Jie reached out and gently embraced the person in front of him.
"I will, I promise!"
"How can you guarantee that?"
Mu Qingxue raised her head and stared at Ning Jie with her beautiful eyes.
The next moment, Ning Jie lowered his head and kissed the beauty's lips deeply. Mu Qingxue was slightly stunned and then opened her mouth to respond.
