Zhou Qing couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. These words really shouldn’t be said carelessly. If Master heard them, wouldn’t he be terribly upset?
And besides, how am I worthy of your trust?
Zhou Qing suddenly seemed to make up his mind. He had been planning to go out anyway, though he hadn’t decided where to go. Now that Lu Yaoyao was so insistent, he might as well take a trip to Spirit Skull Mountain.
If there really is some Suanni Bone or master inheritance, it would be a big opportunity for me, not to be missed.
Faced with Zhou Qing’s sudden question, Lu Yaoyao was briefly stunned, then instantly overjoyed. She nodded repeatedly, saying, "I’m sure. No, I swear!"
"Don’t swear so easily. People’s words are poisonous!" Zhou Qing warned. He didn’t like taking oaths casually; it always felt like it added some inexplicable pressure on himself.
Lu Yaoyao obediently nodded, indicating she understood.
Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "I’ll get my things together and plan to leave tomorrow. If you’re really coming with me, we’ll need to leave separately, one before the other. That way, we won’t be easily noticed."
"Alright, I’ll also take the chance to exchange for some healing elixirs, just in case!" Lu Yaoyao responded eagerly.
After Zhou Qing reminded her of some details, Lu Yaoyao bounced away cheerfully. Watching her joyful figure, he felt a sudden anxiety.
Is taking her out this time right or wrong?
Early the next morning, Zhou Qing left the mountain gate. Elder Wuzhu specifically told him to be cautious. After all, this kid was now a hot commodity; everyone wanted a piece of him.
An hour later, Lu Yaoyao sneaked out of the mountain gate, her eyes full of excitement. Then she departed.
Watching Lu Yaoyao leave alone, Elder Wuzhu stroked his beard and sighed.
Unknowingly, these youngsters have all transformed and grown through this brutal war.
Now they can all go out exploring on their own.
Three days later, Mo Xingjian returned, looking exhausted.
"Oh, Mo, you’re back. Hu did well this time and came back in one piece long ago!" Elder Wuzhu praised.
But at these words, Mo Xingjian was so angered that his teeth ached.
Just a few days ago, he learned that kid had sneaked back early, forcing him to aimlessly wander around outside day and night until now.
"He hasn’t gone out again since he got back, right?" Mo Xingjian quickly asked.
Elder Wuzhu shook his head, saying, "He’s been staying at Little Spirit Peak, don’t worry. He hasn’t gone out causing trouble."
Only then did Mo Xingjian nod, pulling out a whip, ready to head inside. But Elder Wuzhu seemed to remember something and quickly said, "However, your other disciple left."
Mo Xingjian’s raised foot immediately retracted as he asked with wide eyes, "Zhou Qing? Where did he go?"
Elder Wuzhu shook his head, "Didn’t say."
Mo Xingjian immediately closed his eyes, chest heaving fiercely as he tried to calm down.
Leaving at such a critical time, aren’t you deliberately courting trouble?
People are likely to take out what Third did on you.
"Which direction?" Mo Xingjian asked helplessly.
Elder Wuzhu pointed northeast, and Mo Xingjian, without a word, immediately set off.
"It’s been three days already, where are you going to chase them!" Elder Wuzhu shouted behind him.
Then he sighed and muttered to himself, "Good thing I didn’t take disciples; otherwise, I’d never have a moment’s peace."
About an hour later, Yan Xiaohu hurriedly ran out, looking tense, his eyes occasionally darting around as if he’d done something wrong.
Seeing Elder Wuzhu, he quickly approached, nervously asking, "Elder Wuzhu, has my master come back?"
Seeing his sneaky look, Elder Wuzhu nodded, "Yes, but he went out again. What’s going on?"
Hearing this, Yan Xiaohu let out a sigh of relief, then straightened up, saying boldly, "I’m going out to make some trouble! I want to make sure those Cangyan Daoist Palace bastards run with their tails between their legs whenever they hear Sword Tyrant Yan Xiaohu’s name!"
Elder Wuzhu quickly advised, "You better not run around recklessly. There are now Divinity Transformation Realm experts hunting you down."
"What’s to fear? I’ve been back for half a month; they must have heard the news and given up the hunt by now. They wouldn’t expect me to secretly slip out now, hitting them with a surprise attack!"
Yan Xiaohu looked excited, eyes filled with a wild frenzy.
Of course, there was another reason. Today, when he went to find Old Four, he found out that he had left secretly three days ago.
He even left a letter asking him to take care of the old hen.
That hen could go months without eating and still be fine, no need for any care.
And Old Four had changed, going out without informing him, not sure who he learned that from.
Clearly, he saw his ranking was higher and wanted to surpass him.
How could he let that happen? He quickly packed up, only to hear someone say that Old Mo was back.
It scared him silly. Although he became famous, grave-robbing wasn’t an honorable act. Knowing Old Mo, he would definitely whip him severely.
