Huifeng moved his lips, but he subsequently shut his mouth when he met Mo Lian’s frigid gaze.
“No need.” Qiao Mu had another arrangement in mind. She smoothed out her small brow slightly and told him with a nod, “You should return as quickly as you can. I, I can return home by myself.”
At this time, Duan Yue and Situ Yi had also led over the Daybreak Sect and the Heavenly Dao Sect respectively to bid her farewell.
Wei Nanfeng smiled and said to her with a wave, “Little Miss, I don’t know when we’ll be able to see each other again after parting today. Big Brother apologizes for what happened in the past in all seriousness. Let’s turn hostility into friendship. The next time we meet, you can’t view me hostilely again, okay.”
“Scram, scram, scram. Whose big brother are you.” Duan Yue glared at him in irritation.
Qiao Mu looked at Wei Nanfeng expressionlessly and finally nodded reluctantly.
Wei Nanfeng was involuntarily overjoyed and cast Mo Lian a smug glance: What do you think? Your brother, me, has such a savvy mouth. My social skills are still alright, right!
Scram! Mo Lian rolled his eyes at him.
“Alright, you should all leave now. I have to return home anyways. Let’s part here, everyone.” Qiao Mu kept her feelings in her heart, not revealing them on her face either.
As she bid farewell to them, Xixia Valley’s Valley Master had also walked over with his two personal disciples. He smiled and said, “I just saw off Holy Water Sect’s party. You all have to leave soon, too, so let me bid farewell to all of you together!”
Everyone cupped their hands in succession to politely bid farewell to Xixia Valley’s Valley Master.
Xixia Valley’s Valley Master observed these youthful young adults with a smile. These were all the sects and factions’ future experts and pillars of strength!
Situ Yi smiled and nodded at Qiao Mu, saying, “Qiaoqiao, I’ll see you again in the future. Take care of yourself well on your journey. You can come to our Heavenly Dao Sect for a visit when you’re free.”
“See you again, Senior Brother Situ.” Qiao Mu nodded.
Duan Yue turned his head around to gaze deeply at her, as if to forever imprint this scene in his eyes. The youth didn’t say anything else and turned around, leaving along with the rest of the Daybreak Sect and the Heavenly Dao Sect.
The small courtyard emptied all at once.
Mo Lian and Qiao Mu gazed at each other, their hands clasped together tightly.
“If you’re not rushing to return to the Holy Water Sect after going home, come and visit Guanlan City first, alright?” Mo Lian looked at her smilingly. “Guanlan City is really fun. At that time, I’ll bring you around for a tour and eat delicious food?”
Qiao Mu revealed a “this darling isn’t a foodie” expression, and then nodded at him slightly as assent.
Mo Lian was delighted and raised his hand to rub her small head. “Then it’s a promise. I’ll be waiting for you.”
“Mhm.” Qiao Mu’s pupils shifted, and then she nodded.
Mo Lian didn’t know that this “I’ll be waiting” really foretold a lengthy and indefinite wait. He waited until his heart was about to break from sorrow and the pain seeped into his bones…
If he had known earlier that it would end in such a result, he wouldn’t have let her go today.
He raised his hands to hug her lightly before letting go. He didn’t know that years would pass by this time after he turned around to leave.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have let go even in death, he wouldn’t have…
Qiao Mu looked at the now deserted small courtyard and suddenly walked out, wanting to leave.
She felt that her master and aunt-masters were definitely hiding something from her! She felt that the sect was certainly in trouble!
She decided to secretly return to the sect alongside the others. She was going to follow her heart, or else her heart wouldn’t be able to settle down no matter what!
The little fellow was just about to pursue them. However, she suddenly swayed after taking two steps, and she clutched her chest with a foul expression.
