Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Qiu Puryue was still trying to calm down her emotions.

Qin Xiao suddenly said: "Mo Hanyu, someone is looking for you."

After these words were spoken, several people were stunned.

Before Mo Hanyu could ask any questions, a boy came out from behind the tree.

"You really have a keen sense of perception." 44 smiled and praised. A few boys followed behind him.

When Mo Hanyu saw 50 beside him, he didn't say anything, but his eyes darkened.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Yin Xihui sensed danger from 44.

44 smiled, not intending to hide anything: "Nothing, just a little curious."

Aren’t you here to find Mo Hanyu?

Qin Xiao frowned lightly.

Curious about what?

"No. 11 and the others are now guessing how No. 72 will assassinate No. 9." No. 44 spoke and said it directly.

When Qiu Puyue heard this, she was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she felt unbelievable. She opened her mouth to say something, but was grabbed by Yin Xihui.

Qiu Purue turned her head, but saw that Yin Xihui was not looking at her.

"Really? That's really sad." Yin Xihui smiled, "Obviously, we didn't have such thoughts."

"Really? When I saw 72's expression just now, I thought she wanted to kill me." 44 smiled.

"I was just angry at the time. After all, they were very young, so I didn't hold back." Yin Xihui also smiled at him, "But to be honest, we were all shocked when we saw No. 9 summon his attributes. Fortunately, we dodged it at that time, otherwise we would have been torn to pieces."

Qiu Purue looked at Yin Xihui saying such thrilling words in such a light tone and couldn't help but look at him more.

Qin Xiao felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he didn't say much and just watched them communicate from the side.

"That was indeed thrilling." 44 nodded in understanding. "So it's understandable that 72 wanted to kill him right after dodging it."

"Death attack? She just wanted to release her attributes. After all, the other party has broken the rules." Yin Xihui lied with his eyes open. "Are you saying this now to speak up for No. 9?"

"That's not what I meant." 44 sneered, "I just came here to give you a reminder."

"Thank you so much." Yin Xi smiled gently.

Qin Xiao wanted to ask him what he was doing, but Mo Hanyu beside him grabbed his wrist.

Qin Xiao turned his head, somewhat puzzled.

Mo Hanyu shook his head gently at him.

44 looked at Mo Hanyu and smiled: "Then we will leave first."

He left so happily.

Qin Xiao didn't understand his thoughts: "What does he want to do?"

"...When was he here?" Mo Hanyu looked at him.

Qin Xiao thought for a moment: "It was there when Yin Xihui and the others sat down."

"He wanted to eavesdrop, didn't he? Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Qin Xiao." Yin Xihui glanced at Qin Xiao with a special look, "We didn't even notice him."

"So what does he mean by those words? Why did he tell us this?" Qiu Puryue asked.

"It seems that he doesn't have a very good relationship with 11 and the others." Mo Hanyu said, "His words are also a reminder to us. Telling us that they are likely to take action."

"...I didn't intend to assassinate her." Qiu Puryue said softly, with her head down, feeling very depressed, "I didn't--"

"He's gone. Now you can talk about your business."

Qin Xiao was not interested in her thoughts. He leaned back slightly and leaned lightly on Mo Hanyu's shoulder.

Mo Hanyu was a little surprised, but didn't say anything and just let Qin Xiao lean on him.

Seeing that Mo Hanyu didn't react, Qin Xiao closed his eyes and relaxed his body.

He always felt an inexplicable sense of tranquility when he was around Mo Hanyu. There was no other smell on Mo Hanyu except a cool breath that made people feel particularly comfortable.

"...She said to me at that time. She said you are just using me, and actually don’t care about me, and are laughing at me." Qiu Puryue opened her mouth softly and said it.

Qiu Puryue made her words much more tactful and tried to speak in a calm voice.

In fact, No. 9's contemptuous look still clearly appears in her mind.

At that time, No. 9 caught her fist, turned his arm and clasped her wrist, and whispered sarcastically in her ear: "Do you think they care about you? You have been following them like a dog recently, and you were still laughed at just now? They just think you have a little value."

"You are so pitiful... They didn't say a word for you even after you were beaten like this. 52 comforted you, right? But did he stand up for you? They were just watching you and watching how badly you would be beaten."

"Now it seems that you are useless. Even though they don't say it on the surface, do you think they have never scolded you or despised you in their hearts? If that's the case, why didn't 99 stop us from scolding you at the waterfall that day? Why did they laugh when they saw you being beaten so badly just now?"

"You are nothing but a joke in their eyes."

"Why are you staring at me? They say you Corpse Binders are crazy. Now it seems you are really a mad dog. Even if someone treats you like this, you still follow them around and lick their asses... You are so cheap."

No. 9's sarcastic voice was so loud that Qiu Puyue wanted to tear her mouth apart. She wanted to refute, but because of the violent fluctuations in her emotions, she couldn't say a word and could only punch him.

The look Qin Xiao gave her after he stopped her made her extremely uneasy.

Qiu Puryue didn't say those words after all. She lowered her head deeply, thinking of No. 9's eyes and her disdainful words, and couldn't help trembling.

After hearing this, Yin Xihui said nothing, but stared at her with deep eyes.

He could see that Qiu Puryue was not telling the truth, or rather, she was hiding a lot.

Judging from Qiu Puyue's expression, those were obviously not nice words. Either the insults were too harsh, or those words made Qiu Puyue suspicious of them and feel uneasy.

But logically, if she really had doubts, she shouldn't have told them that.

Yin Xihui glanced at Qin Xiao. He believed that Qin Xiao and the others had also heard it.

Qin Xiao had no expression on his face, and nodded after hearing this: "Really?"

Qiu Puryue actually knew that she wanted to join in the first place just to find a place that could provide protection. She had a purpose from the beginning, so she had no right to question why they didn't speak for her, why they could laugh when they saw her being beaten.

...These days, Qin Xiao and the others did provide her with protection and saved her a lot of trouble. From an objective point of view, they have done what she wanted, so she should not be dissatisfied with it.

And she didn't show her strength. From a certain perspective, she didn't do what she said, which was her own problem.

But just...

I can't help feeling a little sad.

Qiu Puyue thought about it, lowered her head and blinked, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears kept falling.

Yin Xihui had to conceal the expression in his eyes and comfort Qiu Puyue first.

"Don't cry, don't cry... She was the one who cursed me." Yin Xihui half-hugged Qiu Puryue and comforted her softly, "I really don't know what nonsense she was talking about, and what she was taking advantage of..."

Qiu Purue's tears fell even harder. Suddenly, she couldn't hold back any more and looked up at him: "Are you really laughing at me?"

After hearing these words, Qiu Puyue was stunned.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the wind blew up the fallen leaves, rustling past us.

The withered yellow leaves were picked up by the autumn wind, slowly rising to the air, and then because the wind suddenly disappeared, they slowly fell into the stream.

“…I’m sorry, it’s me—”

Qiu Puyue reacted and was about to apologize.

Qin Xiao blinked, not quite understanding what she meant: "Watching a joke? Why?"

"It's because they said..." Qiu Puryue tried her best to calm down, but her voice was still filled with tears, "They said that you dislike me in your heart..."

"...Yes, a little bit." Qin Xiao was silent for a moment and uttered this sentence.

Qiu Puyue was puzzled. She asked while crying and hiccuping, "Why?"

"Your emotional control is too poor." Qin Xiao said slowly, "Are all of you Corpse Binders like this? No wonder so many of you died from exploding bodies."

Qiu Puryue looked at him puzzledly.

Qin Xiao didn't give her a detailed explanation. He scratched his head as if he had thought of something.

He suddenly felt that it was not Qiu Puryue's problem.

The child was no more than six or seven years old, an age when children are active and lively, and most likely to get into trouble - although he had never done so before.

He had also met children of this age in his previous life. Most of them were more emotional than Qiu Puryue, and most of them were unreasonable. Very few of them were well-behaved and obedient.

Qin Xiao thought about it and felt that Qiu Puyue's behavior seemed like the reaction of a normal child. Was it just that the blood technique he practiced caused his murderous intent to be too strong?

...But to be honest, her murderous intent was not that strong.

Qin Xiao turned his head and thought. She only wanted to kill someone because he had provoked her to that extent.

Qin Xiao looked at Mo Hanyu, then at Yin Xihui.

Yin Xihui saw that he had a gloomy face and didn't understand why, so he smiled at him politely.

Mo Hanyu tilted his head, as if he understood what he was thinking, and whispered: "You can't judge everyone by the standards of the people around you, right?"

Qin Xiao tilted his head, thinking that what he said made sense.

Although Mo Hanyu and Yin Xihui managed their emotions very well, he could not expect everyone to be like them.

"...No, nothing." Qin Xiao finally shook his head and said.

"…You can tell me, I won't—"

"It's not your problem." Qin Xiao touched his neck and said softly, "I just think you get too emotional. It seems like you'll get provoked if someone provokes you."

"You can't say that." Yin Xihui smiled and helped her speak up. "Everyone is almost pointing fingers at you and scolding you. Do you still want to give in? When Mo Hanyu first came, weren't you also angry when you broke that boy's finger?"

After hearing this, Mo Hanyu nodded in agreement.

Qin Xiao shook his head: "I wasn't angry at that time."

"Ah?" Yin Xi raised his eyebrows, "You're not angry, why did you break his finger?"

"Because he's very noisy." Qin Xiao said calmly, "And I don't like being pointed at. Isn't the best way to stop him to break his fingers?"

Yin Xihui: ...

Yin Xihui could understand Qin Xiao’s meaning—it could not only teach the boy a lesson, but also have a deterrent effect.

“Even if you say that…” Yin Xihui smiled helplessly, “You’ll still get angry if someone scolds you, right?”

"That's true..." Qin Xiao turned his head and looked at Qiu Puryue again, "So, do you have anything else you want to ask?"

"You...why didn't you let me speak at that time?" Qiu Puyue couldn't help feeling panicked when she recalled Qin Xiao's eyes just now.

"Because you are too emotional, I want you to calm down first."

"Then that look in your eyes..."

Qiu Puyue fell silent again in the middle of her sentence. Qin Xiao waited for a long time but didn't get the second half of her sentence. He could not help but frown and look at her.

Why is this kid so awkward?

"She wants to ask why you are so mean to her." Mo Hanyu said what Qiu Puyue wanted to express and looked at Qin Xiao helplessly.
