Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

At night, Qiu Puryue's expression was always a little strange, as if something was wrong.

"what happened?"

After everything was done, Yin Xihui asked her.

"...I feel like they owe me an apology." Qiu Puryue looked at him, "They clearly wronged me and even assaulted me..."

Qiu Puryue said this, sizing up the expressions of Qin Xiao and Mo Hanyu.

"...Do you think I'm narrow-minded when I say this?"

Yin Xihui was surprised: "How could that be? They really did wrong you, it's normal for you to want an apology."

When Tian Miao heard Qiu Puryue mention this, his expression became uneasy, his eyes rolled around, and he twisted his fingers nervously.

"So what? Do you want an explanation from them?" Qin Xiao asked.

"I want them to apologize to me." Qiu Puryue lowered her head and avoided his gaze. "...I just feel that they have no evidence and just speak without hesitation. I... feel uncomfortable."

After hearing this, Tian Miao became even more nervous.

Qin Xiao nodded and said nothing.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Tian Miao suddenly said softly, with a guilty look on his face.

Qiu Puryue: "Hmm? What are you sorry for?"

Tian Miao looked uncomfortable, cold sweat pouring down his face, but he was hesitant about what to say.

"He thought you had a bad relationship with No. 9, and he obviously didn't want to save her at that time, but he saved her anyway because he was afraid that you would be unhappy." Mo Hanyu said.

"Oh, about this." Qiu Puryue looked at Tian Miao and smiled. "Although it is indeed a bit unpleasant, isn't this your choice? Since you have the ability to save her and are willing to save her, it is her luck and your choice."

"You don't need to be nervous about this. You can do this, which proves that you are very capable." Qiu Puryue smiled. Although she was not very happy about this matter, she did not feel dissatisfied with Tian Miao. After all, he did have such ability.

Seeing that she didn't blame him, Tian Miao smiled at her tentatively.

"So when are you going to go find them?" Qin Xiao asked

Qiu Puryue smiled back at Tian Miao first, then turned around and said, "Now."

It was snowing heavily at this time. The heavy snow had been falling for a long time. The snow on the ground was obviously much thicker than before, forming a thick layer of silver on the ground.

When you step on it, the snow is over your ankles.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" No. 9's shrill voice echoed throughout the training ground. She glared at Qiu Puryue angrily and told her word by word, "I will never apologize to you, the Corpse Binder."

"Let's not talk about our identities. You were the one who slandered me first. What's wrong with me asking you to apologize?!"

Qiu Puryue did not invite Yin Xihui and the others to come together. She wanted to speak alone, but Qin Xiao said he wanted to come and see, so she came along.

11 wanted to hold 9 back, but 9 was very excited at this time. He pointed at Qiu Puryue's nose and cursed: "What's wrong? Nothing! I tell you, even if I were a dog, I would never apologize to the Corpse Binder!"

Qiu Puryue wanted to wave her hand away, but No. 9 dodged it before she could touch her. No. 9 looked at her fiercely: "What do you want to do?"

"Why, you pointed at my nose and asked me what I was doing?" Qiu Puryue was almost laughing out of anger, "How can you be so shameless? It was obviously you who wronged someone, and now you're acting like I was being too much."

"That's obviously your problem! If you're not a Corpse Binder, who would suspect you for no reason? It's you who—"

"Even so, you can't just accuse someone without any evidence!" Qiu Purue said word by word, "You wronged me today, who knows if you will wrongly accuse someone else tomorrow?"

"I wrongly accused others?" No. 9 sneered, "Then they must have a motive, right? It's just you. Do you think you are so great? Do you think they can side with you? If that's the case, then why did that idiot save me today?"

11 started to have a headache. She didn't listen to anything 44 said.

"He has a name and a number. Calling him a fool is an insult." Qiu Puryue's pupils shrank slightly, and she became more and more angry. "He saved you, but not only are you ungrateful, you even want to insult him? Where do you get the nerve to do that?!"

"What does it have to do with you whether I insult him or not? Does he support you? Oh, you don't like him, do you? You can't stand hearing the truth from others." No. 9 started to be sarcastic again.

Qiu Puryue was so angry that she was shaking all over: "This has nothing to do with whether you like him or not. He may have some intellectual defects, but this is not a reason for you to laugh at him. What's more, he has done you a favor, so you should not insult him with such contemptuous words."

“Oh, so you also think being tied up with you is an insult?” No. 9 laughed. “That’s right. Who would want to get involved with the Corpse Binder? You could only seek comfort from that idiot, but that idiot didn’t even side with you. Hahahaha…”

"do not talk like that……"

11 tried to grab her, but 9 pushed her away.

"Am I not telling the truth? Isn't he a fool? What does he know? He doesn't even know what one plus one equals! I asked him before, and he answered me and said that it was... six! Hahahaha..."

No. 9 seemed to have really thought of something funny and laughed out loud.

Qiu Puyue was so angry that she was shaking and her teeth were chattering.

Qin Xiao looked at Qiu Puryue, then at No. 9 who was laughing, and said nothing.

"She...how can she be so shameless?!" Qiu Puryue pointed at her in disbelief and turned to ask Qin Xiao.

"You have to understand." Qin Xiao showed no expression. "Everyone has different bottom lines. Besides, she is only 6 years old. Her thoughts are immature. It is normal for her to reject people who are different from herself."

Qiu Puyue was shocked by his calm words: "Is this normal?"

"I'm 7 years old!" No. 9 suddenly retorted.

Qin Xiao glanced at her, as if an elder was looking at an immature child - although that was indeed the case: "Really? That's good."

"I heard a saying before, that even dogs dislike a 7-year-old child. I think it makes sense. You don't need to be too angry." Qin Xiao said to Qiu Puyue.

Qiu Puyue's body was shaking with anger, but she suddenly calmed down when she saw Qin Xiao's eyes.

"...You are right. It is stupid to argue with her." Qiu Puryue shook her head. Although her mind was not yet stable, her mood had improved a lot.

"You're just bragging. You're not afraid of getting your tongue bitten." Number 9 said coldly, "If a group of us really want to wipe out a corpse binder like you, wouldn't it be very easy? I've been tolerating it, but you've been -"

"You tolerate it?" Qiu Puryue suddenly laughed and looked at her as if she was a psychopath.

"If you have a mental illness, go see a doctor, okay? Can you be patient?" Qiu Puryue even repeated it twice.

"Didn't you pour the food on my head? Didn't you sprinkle dirt in my food and make me eat it? Didn't you make a mess on my bed and said it was just a joke? I left and you still spread rumors that I like to play with boys? Where do you get the nerve to do that?"

Qiu Puryue was simply unbelievable: "At first I thought that you might have had a psychological trauma from the Corpse Binders because your home was destroyed by them, so you didn't say anything, and left when you couldn't stand it anymore. Why are you still pretending here?"

"If you have water in your brain, go find a cliff and jump off! Drain the water in your brain and then talk to me! What the hell is this..."

Qiu Puryue looked at her with disgust.

Qin Xiao remained silent and just looked at her quietly.

In the past few months, her temper has become much worse... and her language has become more verbal.

Qin Xiao shifted his gaze, only to see someone standing behind him.

"...Tian Miao?" Qin Xiao was puzzled. "What's wrong with you?"

When Qiu Puyue heard this, she turned around and saw Tian Miao staring at them with his lips bitten.

Tian Miao's eyes were full of tears, his eye sockets were red and swollen, soaked with tears, and his cheeks were full of tear marks.

Qiu Puryue: ...

Qiu Puryue had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Tian Miao choked up and said loudly in a very firm tone: "One, one plus one equals two!"

11 was also stunned when she saw Tian Miao, and she didn't notice when he came over.

Hearing Tian Miao's words, 11 was stunned.

"It...it is equal to two!" Tian Miao shouted at No. 9, tears streaming down her face like two streams, and in the blink of an eye her face was covered with wet marks.

Tian Miao rubbed his eyes, turned around and ran away quickly.

He staggered several steps while running and almost fell to the ground. He used his hands and feet to crawl towards the darkness.

When Qiu Puyue saw the direction he was running, she didn't even bother to argue and just ran after him.

Qin Xiao: ...

"I heard a quarrel here, what happened?"

Qin Xiao turned his head. Mo Hanyu ran to his side.

"..."

Qin Xiao didn't know how to describe what happened just now. He was speechless for a moment and said to Mo Hanyu: "Take Yin Xihui over there and find Qiu Puyue and the others."

After observing Yin Xihui for the past few months, he felt that he was quite good at comforting people.

Mo Hanyu: “?”

Mo Hanyu was puzzled and didn't ask any more questions. Before leaving, he thought of something and turned around to ask, "Have you seen Tian Miao?"

Qin Xiao: ...

When I saw it, I just ran away crying.

"...He picked up a very beautiful stone from the creek and wanted to show it to you." Mo Hanyu hesitated and said, "Yin Xihui and I both said it was beautiful, so he felt very happy and wanted to share it with you. Have you seen it?"

Qin Xiao: ...

Suddenly I felt a little depressed.

"I met him, but I didn't see Shitou." Qin Xiao told the truth and thought for a while. "The situation is a bit complicated. You can ask Qiu Puryue when the time comes."

Mo Hanyu nodded and turned to find Yin Xihui.

Qin Xiao looked at Mo Hanyu's receding back and suddenly asked, "Why are you leaving?"

He said, turning to look at 11.

11 was exposed and looked a little embarrassed: "This... This is not nothing, just--"

"Really?" Although Qin Xiao asked, there was no doubt in his tone.

"What do you want to do?" No. 9 looked at him coldly.

"Apologize to No. 2 and No. 72." Qin Xiao said calmly.

Seeing that his expression was not right, 11 wanted to say something, but 9 spoke first.

"I don't think I said anything wrong, either to that fool or to the Corpsebinder, I didn't—"

"Apologize to them and the matter will be over." Qin Xiao's voice was very calm. He stared at her, with no emotion visible on his face.

11 was very satisfied with his answer and wanted to agree, but saw that No. 9's face was full of gloom.

"I say it's impossible." Number 9 said word by word, "Forget about Number 2, but I will never apologize to the Corpse Binder."

"I'm not discussing this with you." Qin Xiao said, "Although I just advised her not to bother with you, I think you still owe her an apology. What's more, Tian Miao just saved you today. Your address and attitude are not what you should give to a lifesaver."

"Who are you to give orders here? No. 2 didn't say anything, you—"

11 held her back: "Don't do this—"

But not completely caught

"Let me go!"

Number 9 broke free from Number 11's wrist and said in agitation, "When I begged you to save me today, you all just stood there. Even if I said anything, according to your logic, it's Number 2 and my business, right? What right do you have to make irresponsible remarks here?!"
