“Xian’er, Ruqing…”
The palace was empty.
A deep voice came from behind them.
Feng Ruqing turned and smiled sweetly. “Second Uncle.”
Mu Qingyin’s face was filled with a gentle smile as he heard her voice.
“Ruqing, Xian’er, there’s something I need to tell you. Before I came to Gu Yiyi, I once went to a place where there was an obstacle there. I have a feeling that if we break that blockage, we might be able to leave this place.”
Feng Ruqing’s face was showing delight. “Really?”
“But I’m not really clear on the details. Ruqing, Xian’er, it’s getting late, so we’ll leave tomorrow.”
“Alright!”
Feng Ruqing had been here for some time. She really did not want to leave the spirit beasts that she had just met after coming here. But she understood that this place was not her eternal home.
Other people were waiting for her outside this world.
“Okay, I’ll prepare later. We should give Yiyi some time to say goodbye to her friends.”
“Then I’ll come back to you tomorrow.”
Mu Qingyin smiled as he looked at the beautiful couple in front of him. Eventually, he simply turned and left them, his green-robed figure gradually disappearing into the sunset.
After Mu Qingyin had left, a small head peeked out from the pavilion, but no one had noticed it. Her big eyes were as bright as stars, staring dumbly at Feng Ruqing. Nobody knew what was on her mind…
***
It was night.
The moonlight reflected on the water.
A young girl wearing a red robe sat at the edge of the lake, gazing at the night sky. She seemed lost in thought.
Just then, a faint voice came from behind Feng Ruqing, timidly asking, “Master, are you leaving tomorrow?”
Feng Ruqing turned a little and her gaze fell upon a beautiful face.
Feng Ruqing’s heart softened. She was unable to resist the charm of this young girl.
“Yeah, maybe. I’ll probably leave tomorrow.”
“Oh…” The young girl pouted as she extended her hand and squeezed the spiritual qi in the air into a ball, handing it over to Feng Ruqing.
Feng Ruqing quickly caught the ball handed over by the girl and absorbed it into her body.
It was because of this ability that had made her adore this young girl. She had taken her away from the You family and this girl had stayed with Feng Ruqing since then.
The young girl was like a kitten, rubbing her face against Feng Ruqing. “Master, look. I’m very useful to you. Master… Can you not leave me behind?”
Feng Ruqing held the young girl’s hand. She looked down at her as the young girl’s deer-like eyes were staring at her, watery.
“Qiuqiu, will you leave with me?”
Qiuqiu’s heart warmed. “Master, you want to take me with you?”
“What?”
Feng Ruqing was distracted just now, and Qiuqiu’s voice was so soft that she could barely hear the last words from her.
The young girl’s face broke into a smile brighter than sunshine. “Master, if I couldn’t leave this place, would you still leave me?”
There was no walking away from this world.
Especially herself!
But her master did not belong in this place. If she wanted to leave, there would be a way out eventually.
But… She did not want to let her master go! She wanted her master to stay and be with her for the rest of her life.
