The night is almost here. In Tongxuan Continent, Qing Yue’er had already completed most of his missions. The demon holes in the south, east, north and center of Tongxuan Continent were already sealed. Only the west remains.
Previously Niu Longhao had already told him to be careful in West Tongxuan because there was a crucial volcano. So, Qing Yue’er deliberately put that in the last place.
White light streaked across the twilight sky. It stopped at the top of the volcano and turned into the figure of Qing Yue’er and Mo Jingtian. They landed from his flying sword.
Qing Yue’er was quite surprised when she saw some people were there and one of them was a person she knew. A girl who looks masculine because she always looks like a man. Who else if not Zi Xian?
In the past Zi Xian had once competed with Qing Yue’er in the flying sword competition held in the North Wind Sect. She was the daughter of one of the city lords in West Tongxuan.
“Yoh, I did not expect there would be a welcome here,” comments Qing Yue’er casually.
Most of the people there are old people. Their age and strength were above average. Certainly they were the elders or pantolan of the forces in Western Tongxuan.
This is not at all expected. Were they waiting for him intentionally?
“Xinyu, this is really you!” Zi Xian who first approached Qing Yue’er. He observed her appearance from top to bottom while grinning, like a young master when looking at a beautiful woman.
“I thought after a long time apart, you would be a beautiful mayor's daughter.” Qing Yue’er quipped the girl.
Zi Xian laughed. “Am I not handsome enough today?”
Mo Jingtian who was beside Qing Yue’er snorted slightly. He tucked his hands around the girl's waist, then pulled her closer. “Why don't we directly do what to do?”
“Good.” Qing Yue’er nodded while holding back her smile. “Zi Xian, I cannot accompany you to role play. Please tell them to wait for me here.”
“Nona, wait!”
One of the old men there walked up to Qing Yue’er. He wore a white robe and carried a ponytail whisk that made him look like a daoist. His old face showed a gentle smile.
“Nona, does our existence make you feel uncomfortable? Honestly, Academy Head Niu Longhao has already informed us of your plans. He feels worried about Western Tongxuan, so we are here to prevent if there is anything bad.”
Qing Yue’er smiled hearing that. As long as they don't make trouble, that's enough. He did not want to be flashy indeed because he did not want to invite trouble.
“It's fine, but you guys don't have to go with me. Please wait here. Don't come unless I send a signal to you.”
They did not refuse or protest. Only Zi Xian felt a little disapproving. The girl crossed her arms around her chest.
“You're going to close that demon hole with just this guy?” He pointed his chin at Mo Jingtian whose appearance looked so eccentric. Is that guy reliable?
Qing Yue’er knew what Zi Xian was thinking. She smiles. “Trust me, he is much more reliable than anyone.”
Without waiting for the girl's response, she directly pulled Mo Jingtian away towards the demon hole. He did not want to hear or see anyone looking down on the man. He also did not have much time to give them any knowledge of his prowess.
Mo Jingtian, on the other hand couldn't help but smile. “Should I remain weak so that you would show your affection in front of others?"
The girl coughed then snorted without looking. “Jingtian, it's because you never show yourself in front of people. How can I do that while you always go to and fro and disappear with your affairs?”
“Oh, really?” Mo Jingtian felt amused. She recalled when Qing Yue’er hid her behind the door of the inn room after they returned from the Nushen Temple. Back then the girl did not want the members of the Heavenly Academy to find their togetherness.
He also recalled when the girl had pushed him into hiding in a small gazebo by the lake at the Peak of Eternal Clouds only for his whereabouts to be unknown to one of the teachers there.
Isn't that girl so good at finding excuses?
“Then I won't go anywhere so you can care about me more often, and show your affection in front of others,” Mo Jingtian said casually.
Qing Yue’er's face turned red. She had always been shy about showing her intimacy with Mo Jingtian in front of others. If not for the man having trouble with his cultivation, he would probably still be hiding his whereabouts and status.
Mo Jingtian chuckled. He sped up his pace and chased after the girl. “You know, only in this way can I always be near you.”
Qing Yue’er was unwilling to answer those words. His expression looked grim. Mo Jingtian finally smiled faintly. “If I get my power back, I will definitely be busy. Don't even have time to visit you.”
“….”
“You will lie alone and lonely,” the man said softly.
Qing Yue’er's heart became sour. He turned his face the other way. “That's fine as long as you remember that I was once there for you,” she replied in a vibrating voice.
“Even if the world forgets your sacrifice? In just a thousand years your tomb will be inhabited by cobwebs. Who cares about the dead? The world is peaceful. People will only know it.”
“Shut up! I don't want to hear you.”
Mo Jingtian smiled. “Yue’er, what if I teach you some things? I am the best teacher for you.
Qing Yue’er gripped her skirt until it was tangled. How could he not know what the man meant? Mo Jingtian wanted to pass all of her knowledge, knowledge, and strength on to him. He would probably give up on his destiny as the Son of Heaven.
The man wanted him to become stronger and be able to represent him against Baili Linwu. The man would rather be trash than take the risk to take his life.
“Jingtian, I don't want science or anything from you. My father was a god. And my teacher's grandfather was a former Heavenly Court Master. Do you think I lack a teacher to teach me?” reply Qing Yue’er without hospitality.
“But they won't be as good as me.” Mo Jingtian still sounded relaxed.
Qing Yue’er finally turned her head to look at the man. He gritted his teeth firmly. “You really ...”
“I really what?”
“You really b*jantan!”
“What?” Mo Jingtian couldn't help but stupe. They had almost arrived at the crater of the volcano, and the demon hole was near the crater. However, he was not worried that his voice would be heard by the demons.
“What are you laughing for?!”
“I've never felt this relieved.”
“The problem is in plain sight and you feel relieved?” Qing Yue’er felt speechless. What exactly did the man think?
“Gadis, in the past I was an ambitious pursuer of strength. My youth was full of hot blood. Being strong is the end goal. I never once thought in the slightest to unleash my power.”
The man looked down. “But I can release it now. Even if I have to be weak, it will be fine as long as you are by my side and peace accompanies the three realms
“That's impossible to happen.” Qing Yue’er suddenly turned around and gripped the man's arm. “You can't let go of your power.”
Mo Jingtian stroked Qing Yue’er's face gently. He looked at his eyes in turn. “I know you're worried about Baili Linwu. However, he was also in a weak state right now. I have time to drop everything on you.”
“Is this the solution you found?”
“You know, there is nothing better than this.”
Qing Yue’er stepped back. He walked away from the man with complicated feelings. “Jingtian, I thought you were so great. But it turns out you are just so-so,” he said in a mocking tone.
His palm was shining brightly. After that his figure suddenly shot rapidly towards the demon hole that was not far from them. The sound of loud explosions instantly echoed consecutively to the point of shaking the ground.
The howls of the demons mixed with the angry screams of Qing Yue’er. The girl brutally vented all her emotions at the pitiful demons.
