“Wait!” ng Qi hurriedly chased after Pei Mufeng.
Pei Mufeng stopped and turned around quietly.
“When will you leave?” She asked.
“Tomorrow.” The young man replied. He looked at ng Qi for a while and added: “The entrance to Starfallen Sea will disappear tomorrow night.”
ng Qi quickly calculated: “Okay, are you going back to your sect now?”
“Yes.” Pei Mufeng said, “Do you need sothing?”
“Can you wait for before leaving tomorrow?” ng Qi asked again.
“Okay.” ng Qi didn’t say why, and Pei Mufeng also didn’t ask. He just took a deep look at her and nodded, “I’m waiting for you at the sect.”
ng Qi nodded. She knew that Pei Mufeng would definitely go to Starfallen Sea no matter what. Even if he didn’t make the promise with the dical Society Alliance, he would still go there to practice his swordsmanship. In her previous life, ng Qi’s first eting with the Pei Mufeng was precisely at the edge of the Starfallen Sea, where the young man collapsed with heavy injuries after fighting with a powerful mutant beast.
As she pondered, ng Qi turned and went back to her room. She initially wanted to take a good rest, but it now seed that she didn’t have the ti. Ignoring the strange look in Xiao Qi’s eyes, ng Qi quickly stuffed him into the beast house, put the beast house back into her storage space, then promptly walked out again.
“ng Qiqi.” Before ng Qi reached the inn’s front gate, Xue Jinwen’s gentle voice ca behind. “Sister Xue?” She turned around and saw Xue Jinwen sitting alone in the lobby of Ruyi Inn, facing a table with a few simple dishes and a blue wine jug.
Xue Jinwen filled a cup of wine and asked: “Why aren’t you resting? Where are you going?”
“Well…” ng Qi explained, “I want to buy so things.” Her dicine cauldron was broken, and she needed to buy a new one if she wanted to refine dicine. On top of that, she also wanted to replenish her stock of dicinal ingredients and buy a few more.
“I’ll accompany you.” Xue Jinwen finished the wine with one gulp and stood up with a smile.
ng Qi’s alcohol tolerance was extrely poor. Seeing Xue Jinwen’s drinking valor, she was a bit envious.
“Let’s go.” Xue Jinwen walked over.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing ng Qi’s envious gaze, Xue Jinwen raised her brows. She suddenly rembered the girl’s drunken state in Beyond The Heaven last ti and couldn’t help but smile slightly: “It’s just a bit of drinking. This is not a good thing, so you don’t need to care.”
ng Qi smiled back. She and Xue Jinwen then walked out of Ruyi In together. Their first destination was the Cloud Immortal Pavilion, which provided most necessities needed by cultivators. This shop opened branches in almost all towns and cities in Three Thousands Worlds. Naturally, they also had a branch in Xingluo City.
The two walked in silence. “ng Qiqi.” In the end, Xue Jinwen opened her mouth first, “What is your plan next?”
“Pavilion Master Pei will depart for Starfallen Sea tomorrow. I’m going to go to Xingluo Pavilion to see him off.” ng Qi said. “I guess we won’t see each other again for ten years.”
“I see.” Xue Jinwen smiled, “You have a good relationship with Pavilion Master Pei.”
“Not so.” ng Qi glanced at Xue Jinwen. Sohow, she felt that the other’s words were a bit weird. “We just t a few tis before. Pavilion Master Pei is a good person.”
ng Qi couldn’t say that she and Pei Mufeng had a good relationship in her past life. Although this genius young man was cold and indifferent, his dedication to swordsmanship was unrivaled to anyone. His dedication was similar to ng Qi’s own dedication in dicine, and that probably was the reason why they beca so close later — because they understood each other, like kindred spirits.
If ng Qi categorized all the people she knew in her previous life, Pei Mufeng was definitely put under the ‘friends’ column.
“Sister Xue, Xue clan is also staying in Xingluo City. Why you don’t stay with them?” ng Qi didn’t like to pry other people’s private matters, but she had a good impression of Xue Jinwen and was also grateful for her helps. She genuinely cared about Xue Jinwen and was curious to see her seed to have no intention of returning to her father and siblings.
“Well…” Xue Jinwen smiled, “I won’t go back anymore.” She stretched out her hands comfortably. The broad sleeves of her robe slipped down, revealing her white arms.
Xue Jinwen looked up at the sky. At this ti, the sun was setting, and the sunset glow was burning on the horizon, dyeing the sky with bright red. It was so beautiful. Because it was almost dinnerti, the street was full of the sll of food from restaurants and stalls. Obviously, it was just an ordinary city, but Xue Jinwen felt it refreshing.
“ng Qiqi.” Xue Jinwen closed her eyes and took another deep breath before putting down her arms and turning at ng Qi, “Can I stay with you?”
“…Okay.” ng Qi nodded. She did not ask why. Xue Jinwen had her own thoughts and made her own choices. As long as she didn’t regret it, ng Qi would support her.
“ng Qiqi.” The two fell silent again for a while, but Xue Jinwen took the initiative to say: “I think it’s boring to stay at ho.”
“My father and brother are famous for their talents. Both my sisters are also renowned as young geniuses. Probably all dical cultivators in Three Thousand Worlds dream of entering Xue Clan and Feng Alliance.” The corner of Xue Jinwen’s lifted up in a half-smile, “But it’s not what I want.”
“I see.” ng Qi nodded again. She was also a cultivator who rebelled against her sect, so she didn’t seem qualified to comnt on Xue Jinwen’s conduct.
Since Xue Jinwen was unhappy to stay, it was okay to leave.
“So I want to leave.” Xue Jinwen said.
“Will you still go to Beyond The Heaven?” ng Qi asked again.
“Of course.” Xue Jinwen narrowed her eyes and turned her head slightly at ng Qi. “It’s not who reveal it, but you.”
“Huh?” ng Qi didn’t understand.
“Xiao Qi.” Xue Jinwen leaned closer and whispered.
