Jiang Qingyi didn't know how she walked out of the medical hall.

She flew back to Lingqian Peak like a walking corpse.

All Jiang Qingyi could think about was that her master could only live for thirty years.

She couldn't imagine what the world would be like without her master.

This world without her master, what meaning would it have?

Before she knew it, Lingqian Peak appeared before Jiang Qingyi's eyes.

"I can't be like this. I can't face master with this expression. Master would be sad."

Jiang Qingyi patted her own face, took a deep breath, and forced herself to smile, as if she knew nothing at all.

When Jiang Qingyi returned to the courtyard, she saw her master sitting in the yard.

The afternoon sunlight shone on Xiao Mo's paper-like face, and the girl's heart felt like it was being cut by knives.

If she could, she would be willing to take her master's place and endure all this suffering.

"Master, why are you in the courtyard? You should rest well."

Jiang Qingyi landed and ran toward her master.

Xiao Mo smiled, "Staying in the room all the time won't do either. It's too stuffy, I need to come out for some fresh air."

"Then this disciple will accompany you."

Jiang Qingyi rolled up her sleeves, poured a cup of tea for her master, then walked behind her master, her tender white hands gently massaging Xiao Mo's shoulders.

"Qingyi, there's something I want to discuss with you and ask for your opinion."

Just as Jiang Qingyi was forcibly suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Xiao Mo spoke.

"Master, please speak directly. No matter what it is, Qingyi will agree to master's wishes," Jiang Qingyi said with curved eyes and a smile.

Xiao Mo patted Jiang Qingyi's small hand, "Master wants to go out and travel around. Do you want to come with master?"

"Go out and travel around?" Jiang Qingyi blinked, looking at her master with confusion.

"That's right." Xiao Mo nodded. "I want to leave the Dragon Spring Sword Sect and see more of this world. Qingyi, are you willing to accompany me?"

"Qingyi is willing!" Jiang Qingyi didn't hesitate at all. "No matter where master wants to go, Qingyi will always accompany master!"

"Good." Xiao Mo smiled and nodded. "Then pack up, we'll set off tomorrow."

"Yes! Qingyi will go pack right now!"

Jiang Qingyi hurriedly ran into the room and began packing her luggage.

For Jiang Qingyi, she also wanted to travel and enjoy the scenery with her master, not caring about sect matters.

Moreover, what if during their travels, they encountered some powerful cultivator who could cure master's injuries?

Or what if they encountered some opportunity that would heal master's injuries?

This wasn't impossible.

At least it was much more hopeful than staying at the Dragon Spring Sword Sect all the time!

Early the next morning, Xiao Mo and Jiang Qingyi left the Dragon Spring Sword Sect.

They didn't say goodbye to anyone.

Xiao Mo actually didn't know where to go either, so he just took Jiang Qingyi and kept heading north.

They came to a town and bought a horse carriage.

Jiang Qingyi drove the cart while Xiao Mo sat inside.

The two of them passed through town after town.

Sometimes the two would stay at inns.

Sometimes the two would camp in caves.

Before they knew it, a month had passed.

The two didn't know exactly how far they had traveled, but they had at least left the territory of Liang Kingdom.

The second month after leaving the Dragon Spring Sword Sect.

Just as the horse carriage was traveling on a mountain path, a woman stood in front of them.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Qingyi stared at the woman before her.

The long sword Xuanshuang was already in Jiang Qingyi's grip.

"Qingyi, she's an old acquaintance of mine." From inside the carriage came Xiao Mo's voice.

Xiao Mo lifted the carriage curtain and walked out.

Jiang Qingyi hurriedly helped her master down from the carriage.

"Qingyi, go fetch some water," Xiao Mo said to Jiang Qingyi.

"But master..."

Jiang Qingyi glanced at the cold woman.

She knew her master wanted to send her away but this person seemed to come with ill intentions.

"It's fine." Xiao Mo patted Jiang Qingyi's small hand. "Master will be fine, be obedient."

"..." Jiang Qingyi pursed her lips, finally glanced at the woman once more, then took the water bag and turned to walk away.

"I'm very curious, why are you helping me?"

Xiao Mo looked at Xia Chan and asked.

Two months ago, when Xia Chan came to find Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo had once wanted to kill Xia Chan but during this time traveling, Xiao Mo realized something was wrong.

If Xia Chan really wanted to tell Qingyi the "truth," she wouldn't have come to find him.

Because there was no need for such unnecessary action.

She could have gone directly to find Qingyi.

So Xiao Mo reached a conclusion.

Xia Chan had come to tip him off.

The purpose was to make him take Jiang Qingyi and leave the Dragon Spring Sword Sect.

"Because in that winter, when I was about to starve to death, it was Madam who saved me."

Xia Chan spoke slowly.

"Now the Xiao Prince's Manor has spared no cost or favors to request the Blood Butterfly Pavilion to take action. Originally, the Prince wanted to tell Jiang Qingyi about her background, make her hate you, damage her dao heart, and make all your years of effort go to waste. But since the Blood Butterfly Pavilion has taken over, there's no need for that. The Prince asked me to tell Young Master that this is his final mercy to you as a father."

"Heh heh heh, Blood Butterfly Pavilion. When they act, death is certain, no death means no rest." Xiao Mo smiled. "Then let the Blood Butterfly Pavilion try... cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

Xiao Mo began coughing violently.

"Ptui!" Xiao Mo spat out a mouthful of fresh blood to the side, then took out a medicine bottle from his chest, poured out a pill, and swallowed it.

Xia Chan looked at Xiao Mo's half-dead appearance, her brows furrowing, "This innate sword bone was originally forcibly transplanted into Young Master, it has nothing to do with Young Master. Young Master only needs to cultivate well, and your future would be limitless. Now you're in such a half-dead state. Do you think it's worth it, Young Master?"

"What's not mine will never be mine, and I don't want it either. I only want to come cleanly and leave cleanly, just like my mother."

Xiao Mo smiled as he looked at Xia Chan.

"When my mother picked you up from the snow back then, do you think it was worth it?"

Xia Chan, "..."

"You should go." Xiao Mo waved his hand. "My disciple is coming back."

Xia Chan turned to look, and Jiang Qingyi was staring fixedly at her from behind a tree.

"Madam was a good person, but good people don't necessarily receive good rewards." Xia Chan turned and disappeared into the forest.

After Xia Chan left, Jiang Qingyi hurriedly ran over, "Master, what did that person want with master?"

"She told me that someone wants to kill us and has even hired the Blood Butterfly Pavilion." Xiao Mo patted Jiang Qingyi's head. "How about it, are you afraid?"

Jiang Qingyi gripped her master's hand and shook her head vigorously, "As long as I'm with master, Qingyi is not afraid of anything."
