“I-I’ll pay it.” With an aggrieved look, Chu Tianfeng took out the number of spirit stones he promised before and handed it to ng Qi.
“Thank you, young palace master Chu.” ng Qi saluted politely before turned around and left.
Qin Xiumo smiled triumphantly. He didn’t care about Chu Tianfeng’s ugly expression and quickly followed ng Qi.
“I want to go to Qingfeng Town first.” ng Qi said: “After that, we need to go back to Qingfeng Valley.” She glanced at Qin Xiumo: “To completely heal your injury, I have to refine so special dicine. I’ve asked people to find the ingredients for . But it probably will take so ti before they arrived.”
“No hurry.” Qin Xiu said leisurely: “Take it slowly. Anyway, I still owe you so many…” He prolonged his tone slightly: “…spirit stones. Moreover, my cultivation is still in the third to the fourth realm of Golden Core, so I am very cheap. It will take a long ti to pay back my debt, don’t worry.”
ng Qi: “…” She never knew that soone could show such….a sowhat smug expression when saying that his labor was very cheap.
ng Qi shook her head, too lazy to worry about these two strange n. Anyway, between her and them, there were only spirit stone transactions!
ng Qi returned to her tent. Xiao Qi had already returned to the beast house and was carefully put back into her storage bracelet.
Qin Xiumo waited right outside the door. He saw ng Qi took out a paper crane from her storage bracelet. “This is my only flying magic tool.” She told him: “What do you do?”
“Oh.” Qin Xiumo replied: “You can make it bigger to accommodate two people.”
In fact, a Golden Core cultivator could fly using their sword. But the current Qin Xiumo was only a half-baked Golden Core. He could use his power for a short ti, but utilizing spiritual aura to fly himself back to Qingfeng Valley would only be detrintal to his injury.
ng Qi nodded. “Then let’s go.” She placed the paper crane in the air and embedded a second-grade spirit stone on its head. The paper crane instantly beca longer. ng Qi sat on it, and Qin Xiumo also followed casually.
“Go to Qingfeng Town first.” She had stopped associating with other disciples of Qingfeng Valley. After making up her mind to leave the sect, those people’s conduct and opinion no longer affected her.
The paper crane couldn’t fly fast, but its speed was better than Elder Lu’s paper boat that accommodated dozens of people. ng Qi used three second-grade spirit stones and finally returned to Qingfeng Town that afternoon.
She asked Qin Xiumo to wait at one of the teahouses in the town and went by herself to Beyond The Heaven relay station to fetch the array materials she ordered. After that, she went to the Cloud Immortal Pavilion and bought a bigger storage space. Her original storage bracelet was no longer enough for her. She imdiately transferred the contents of the old storage bracelet, including the beast house with Xiao Qi in it, to the new storage space.
After finishing her business, ng Qi went to the teahouse to pick Qin Xiumo. She didn’t use the paper crane but just walked towards Qingfeng Valley.
ng Qi joined Qingfeng Valley for more than half a year. Even counting the previous life, her ti in the sect was only one year. Even so, it was wrong to say that she had no emotion towards this place.
ng Qi walked on the mountain road leading to Qingfeng Valley’s main gate in silence. In both her life, she had stepped on this sa path countless of tis.
“Are you feeling reluctant?” Qin Xiumo seed to have guessed her mind. He followed all the way in silence, but suddenly asked: “Why?”
“People are not plants, we have emotion.” ng Qi said, “Qingfeng Valley took in and taught cultivation. Here, I learn the foundation of my knowledge.”
“Heh——” Qin Xiumo sneered. He straightened his back and moved his gaze towards the south. “Do you know why I appeared at the bottom of the cold pond?” He asked.
ng Qi didn’t reply. She wasn’t good at lying. But in fact, she knew the whole story. Not only how Qin Xiumo was betrayed by his best friend, but also how he later enacted his vengeance. The nickna of Little Devil Lord, together with his coldness and cruelty, had spread throughout the Southern Realm.
“I was betrayed by a best friend who injured when I was facing a tribulation. I fell into Qi deviation and almost died.” Qin Xiumo stretched out his hand and stroked his arm. Once, there was a wound left by his best friend’s sword here. But after ng Qi’s treatnt, it didn’t leave any trace. However, he would forever never forget the pain and coldness he felt at that mont.
Later, he faced the indifference of his sect, the cruelty of his master who raised disciples as if raising gu1 and saw the woman he wholeheartedly loved changed her affection…
In the end…
When everyone thought that he was beyond saving and gave up on him, only one person still hurried over. It was a slender figure in a blue robe, carrying a faint sll of dicine…
“ng Qi.” Qin Xiumo smiled, “You should always rember one thing.” He turned to look at ng Qi: “If soone betrays and wrongs you in the future, don’t try to talk reason, just kill them.” He paused for a mont, then slowly said: “I know you can do it. As long as you don’t feel soft-hearted.”
Qin Xiumo took a step towards ng Qi. The mountain wind stirred his black robe, but he kept staring at her eyes. With a low whisper, he softly spoke every word: “Including …if one day I betray you, bring you harm, just kill without hesitation.”
“Junior sister! Junior sister ng Qi!” An anxious call suddenly ca from a distance, breaking the weird silence between the two.
A young man in Qingfeng Valley’s blue robe sprinted along the mountain road. When he saw ng Qi, he rushed forward as if seeing a savior. “Junior Sister ng Qi, I finally found you!” The disciple breathed a sigh of relief, “Quickly go back. The seniors who were injured by the immortal devouring vine are now rolling on the floor in pain. And they…their condition…look so scary!”
Gu: A kind of curse that uses poisonous insects to infiltrate a victim’s body. One common thod to raise gu is by confining poisonous insects in one place, then let them kill and devour each other until the last one left.
