3118 Leaving
“It’s Mu Jiu! Mu Jiu has returned!”
Guo Ziqi spoke excitedly. When he finished speaking, he noticed the two small beasts behind Mu Jiu and couldn’t help but wonder, “Why are there two small beasts?”
They all turned to look. Two small beasts were indeed following behind Mu Jiu. However, as they could not gauge the strength of the two small beasts, they again turned their attention to Mu Jiu.
“Mu Jiu, where is the sacred beast? Why didn’t it follow you?”
“It has left.” Feng Jiu said, “Let’s have a rest! There shouldn’t be any problems here.”
Everyone agreed, and they looked around for a place to sit nearby. But they all had a lot of questions that they were unsure of how to ask.
“Little Sister, how is your injury?” Lin Chengjin asked his sister. When he noticed that there was still blood on her sleeve, he said, “Let me bandage the wound for you!”
“I’m fine, Big Brother. I’ve been given medicine, and the bleeding has stopped.” Lin Yushi answered as she applied a bandage to her wound and then stood up to help others with their wounds.
“Big Brother, your shoulder is injured. You cannot apply the medicine on your own. Let me help you!” She stepped forward while taking out the medicine.
“Alright.” Lin Chengjin removed his coat, exposing the wound inside.
After cleaning, giving medication, and bandaging his wound, Lin Yushi draped Lin Chengjin’s coat over his shoulder and said, “I’ll go see the others.”
The disciple surnamed Chen was sitting and the pain in his leg caused cold sweat to ooze from his brow. He looked at Mu Ling and others, then at Mu Jiu, who had his hands wrapped around his chest and was relaxed with his eyes closed, and the two small beasts crouching beside him before clenching his teeth. “My leg’s injury is quite severe. I don’t think I’ll be able to continue. I should leave and pass up this opportunity to gain experience.”
He paused before continuing to speak. “Mu Jiu, I’m sorry. I was wrong this time. I should not have questioned your words, much less insisted on letting the woman stay.”
“No harm done.” Feng Jiu stated flatly. In any case, she was not the one who got hurt.
The disciple surnamed Chen, moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he kept silent. He could tell Mu Jiu didn’t care, so he closed his eyes and looked at the teleportation jade card he was carrying around his waist. “Everyone, thank you for your care over these past few days. Please take care of yourself.”
With this, he crushed the teleportation jade card. A light flashed, and he vanished instantly.
The crowd fell into silence as they watched him leave. Now that one had left, would the rest follow suit?
The atmosphere that night was solemn and no one spoke any more. The next morning at dawn, after that brief rest, the people resumed their journey.
They were unaware at the time that, in addition to loosening the restrictions, the Four Sects had dispatched many Venerables to search for their disciples and instruct them to leave this mystic realm as soon as possible.
Perhaps it was because Cloud Devouring Beast was behind them, they hadn’t come across any more ferocious beasts since that day. Even if they did, those ferocious beasts would turn around and flee before they got close.
The disciples were baffled by this strange scene, but they assumed it was all due to Mu Jiu, leading to much speculation regarding his identity.
As the only person in the crowd who knew Feng Jiu’s true identity, Mu Ling was even more obedient to her throughout the journey…
