Chapter 24: Departure
After a night of tossing and turning, Yuan Qi had too much reluctance, and finally stayed up until dawn, and when he opened the door, Master and Beichen were already preparing in the courtyard.
Different from the past, this time the master changed into a green coat, looking a little simple, he was looking at this sword holding pavilion that he had stayed in for ten years, maybe it was really because it was too long, and he was full of nostalgia and reluctance for this place. Beichen was the same as before, dressed in blue, carrying a black longbow on his back, which always gave people a strange feeling, thinking that it was very common to dress up in the wilderness, they didn't alarm Yuan Qi, it seemed that they wanted to leave silently.
"Master!" Yuan Qi walked out of the house, his eyes red and said, "Let the disciple send you out of Qingcheng Mountain!"
Tuke looked at Yuan Qi and sighed: "This kind of mother-in-law and mother-in-law scene, I don't like it the most, no matter what, you are my disciple, it doesn't matter!"
Beichen patted Yuan Qi on the shoulder and took out a small golden arrow from his arms: "Little brother, I still owe you a wine money, I'll give this to you and keep it for self-defense!"
The golden arrow spear was only the size of a wooden palm, and the arrow was not sharp, on the contrary, it was much more blunt, Yuan Qi didn't know what to use, and it was extremely heavy in his hand.
"Brother Beichen, how to use this!" Yuan Qi asked, he was at a loss.
Beichen smiled mysteriously, stretched out his hand and flicked Yuan Qi's head, and responded: "You go and open your own mind!"
Tuke's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the little golden arrow, it was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing, but he didn't break it.
"Xiaoqi, don't be lazy in your cultivation!" Tuke advised, "Later, you can go to my room, I have prepared some things for you, which will be of great help to your future cultivation!"
"Yes, disciple obeys! Thank you, Master!" Yuan Qi's eyes turned even redder.
"Alright, let's go!" Tuke took one last look at the Sword Chamber, then turned and flew towards the Sword Cliff.
Speechless all the way, Yuan Qi silently followed the master, looking at the master's generous back, he secretly swore that he must go to the wilderness to find the master in the future.
"Huh!" Tuke's face was slightly pale, on the Sword Removal Cliff, Wan Qing and Cang Song and other elders were waiting for him here! Tuke shook his head, the scene he didn't want to see still happened.
"Old friend, do you want to leave without saying a word?" Wan Qing was not entangled, and greeted him with a smile.
"You know I don't like this!" Tuke smiled bitterly, he avoided Wan Qing, and said loudly to the elders, "I, Tuke, thank you for being here to see you off, so don't leave it at that!"
"What is this, you and I have worked together in Qingcheng for so many years, I heard that you are leaving, and it is natural to send you off, I just hope that one day I can return to Qingcheng Mountain!" Cang Song said.
Tuke nodded and thanked him, although he had not had much contact with the Law Enforcement Hall over the years, he also understood Cang Song's character, and he got along quite happily, he looked back at Wan Qing again, and glanced at Yuan Qi again, Wan Qing understood what he meant, and nodded knowingly.
"Beichen, let's go!" Tuke picked up a long sword, took one last look at Yuan Qi, and Edgeworth left.
"Little brother, I'll say goodbye first!There will be a date later!" Beichen patted Yuan Qi's shoulder vigorously again, the black longbow on his waist quickly enlarged, and Beichen jumped up, stood on the bowstring, and disappeared into the sky.
With tears in his eyes, Yuan Qi silently kowtowed a few times in the direction of his master's departure.
"Yuan Qi, you will come to the Palace of Despair in the future!" Wan Qing's voice came, "Cultivate with Qian'er and them!"
"Thank you, master!" Yuan Qi stood up and refused in a firm tone, "I only have one master in my life, and I don't want to worship others anymore!"
Wan Qing nodded appreciatively: "Although your master has left, you are still from my Qingcheng Mountain, if you have any difficulties, you can come to the Palace of Absolute Affection to find me, any request, I will try my best to meet you!"
Yuan Qi thanked him, glanced at Wan Ting behind Wan Qing, turned around and walked towards the Sword Pavilion.
His appearance made Wan Ting, Wan Qian, Mo Li and others very worried, they all wanted to follow, but they were all stopped by Wan Qing reaching out and reaching out: "What he needs most now is quiet, don't disturb him, let him think about it!"
Wan Ting touched the moonlight pendant in her arms, recalling the high-spirited Yuan Qi not long ago, looking at the down-and-out back in front of her, she suddenly felt a sense of heartache, and was very worried that Yuan Qi would do something stupid.
"Tomorrow is the Immortal Sword Conference, you all go back, cultivate with peace of mind, and prepare for the conference!" Wan Qing commanded loudly.
"Yes!" several responded.
"Ting'er!" Wan Qing found that Wan Ting was still in a daze, coughed lightly, and reminded, "Go back!"
"Huh!" Wan Ting responded.
The Palace of Absolute Love, Wan Ting lived alone in a courtyard, she should have meditated, but the back of Yuan Qiqi always appeared in her mind, she shook her head vigorously, walked out of the door, and habitually looked in the direction of the Sword Pavilion. Tomorrow is the Fairy Sword Conference, but she is in a mess at this time.
Looking down at the Sword Pavilion, he remembered the things he had experienced before, and remembered the lost look in Yuan Qi's eyes when he went to Anping Village regardless of the danger in order to save himself. Wan Ting pondered silently: "He became like that, it has something to do with himself!"
Wan Ting turned her head and glanced at the main hall, the master was discussing with Cangsong, the atmosphere was a little dull, if she left at this time, she would definitely be discovered, it seemed that only when Cangsong left, she would have a chance.
"Hey, senior sister, why did you come out!" Ling'er was as always, as if nothing could affect her, and she always maintained a lively and cheerful attitude.
"No, it's nothing!" Wan Ting came back to her senses, "By the way, why did you come out too?"
Ling'er blinked her eyes and responded: "Senior sister, you know that I hate that kind of boring cultivation the most, just now I secretly went to the Sword Pavilion with Mo Li to visit that Yuan Qi, but I searched all over the Sword Pavilion, and I didn't even see a single figure, this is not that we just came back!"
"Not in the Sword Pavilion?" Wan Ting was surprised, "Then where can he go?"
"Yes, not only the Sword Pavilion, Mo Li also took me to the nearby bamboo forest, but I didn't find it, I really don't know what is good about that Yuan Qi, so that Mo Li cares about him so much!" Ling'er felt unhappy for Mo Li, and suddenly found that Wan Ting was also in a daze, shook her vigorously, and asked, "Senior sister! Senior sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Eh, I'm nothing, you come back so late, if you are discovered by the master, you will inevitably be punished!" Wan Ting made a decision in her heart to sneak out later.
Ling'er stuck out her tongue and said unhappily: "I'll go find Senior Brother Wanqian!"
Ling'er left, leaving Wan Ting alone, looking down at the pavilion below, and she occasionally looked back at the master in the main hall. However, Cang Song seemed to be against herself, and stayed until late before leaving, which made Wan Ting's mood very anxious, almost at the moment when the master turned around and went back to the house, she sneaked out of the hall, and the blue light flashed, and flew out of the Palace of Despair.
Zhijian Pavilion, pitch black, the lights of the past are no longer there today, Wan Ting is like a fairy in white, falling from the sky, in this pitch black, particularly conspicuous.
"Senior Brother Yuan!" Wan Ting shouted loudly, but did not get any response, she was even more worried, and muttered to herself, "It's so late, where can he go!"
In the bamboo forest, Wan Ting's shouting disturbed the tranquility here, and also startled a group of birds and beasts! After a while, she came to the end of the bamboo forest.
Next to the dustless dwelling, the bonfire was lit, and a lonely figure sat alone by the bonfire, holding a beast's leg in his hand and roasting.
"So you're here!" Wan Ting hurriedly went online, found a place to sit down, and finally found someone, but for some reason, she couldn't spit out half a word when she was in her stomach.
Yuan Qi didn't say anything, his expression was focused, the beast's legs tossed and turned in his hand, and finally lightly sprinkled spices, and a thick fragrance wafted in the air.
Seeing his serious appearance, Wan Ting didn't seem to want to destroy the quietness, so she watched quietly.
After a while, Yuan Qi raised his head, glanced at Wan Ting, and handed over the roasted animal leg in his hand.
"You eat first!" Wan Ting excused herself, "I'm not hungry!"
"You eat, I'll have it here!" Yuan Qi took out another animal leg and continued to roast it.
Wan Ting took it, the golden legs of the beast exuded a burst of aroma, and she couldn't help but take a small bite, the meat was delicious, melted in the mouth, and the roast was just right.
"It's delicious!" Wan Ting couldn't help but praise.
Yuan Qi was expressionless, still roasting his beast leg, as if he hadn't heard Wan Ting's words.
"You... It's okay!" Wan Ting asked worriedly.
Yuan Qi stared at Wan Ting, his voice was a little hoarse: "Senior Sister Ting, go back quickly, tomorrow is the Fairy Sword Conference, if you are not in the Palace of Despair at this time, the head of the sect will be very anxious." ”
"What about you?" Wan Ting asked rhetorically, Yuan Qi in front of her always gave her a premonition that she couldn't figure out.
Yuan Qi smiled sadly: "I'm already like this, where else can I go?"
"Don't you want to be like this!" Wan Ting persuaded, "Although your master is gone, you still have many friends here, and they don't want to see you like this!
"Enough! I don't need your comfort!" Yuan Qi suddenly shouted loudly, "You go!"
"I'm not leaving!" Wan Ting was also anxious, for fear that he would do something if he left.
Yuan Qi stared at Wan Ting, his eyes were cold, and he didn't say anything.
Wan Ting was staring at her uncomfortably, it was the first time she saw Yuan Qi like this, and she couldn't help but be a little frightened in her heart.
In this way, the two of them had nothing to say, sat by the campfire, until the second half of the night, Yuan Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was sleepy, leaned against the tree, fell asleep, and after a while, there were bursts of snoring.
Seeing this, Wan Ting couldn't help but feel sleepy, sighed deeply, and closed her eyes.
After a long time, suddenly Yuan Qi opened his eyes and stared at the sleeping Wan Ting opposite, his indifferent eyes flashed with a hint of warmth! A cold wind blew, he stepped forward, took off his coat, and covered Wan Ting's body, and at the same time added a few pieces of wood to the bonfire.
"Thank you!" Yuan Qi said in a low voice, he stood up, came to the small lake, frowned and stared, on the opposite bank, there was a sacrificial sound floating in a trance, as if seducing, as if confused.
Yuan Qi knew that this voice was not a good thing, but for some reason, he always had a familiar feeling, as if he had heard such a voice a long time ago, but it was difficult to remember it for a while.
He shook his head vigorously, looked back at Wan Ting again, and raised his hand to set up a psychedelic array around him!
"What are you?" Yuan Qi closed his eyes and quietly felt the sacrificial sound wafting from the other side, familiar and unfamiliar!
Eventually, he picked up his steps and headed across the lake.
