Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Dong Muling arrived late, and when she arrived, she saw that the cave entrance had collapsed. Feng Yaoshan and Dong Muqi were standing at the cave entrance, looking a little unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Dong Muling asked.

"...Those old guys up there are all dead." Feng Yaoshan glanced at her, his face pale, "They were all killed in one blow...some were even crushed by their aura."

"That monster is so strong?!" Dong Muling exclaimed, and thought of something, "No, is it really a monster? It turned into a human... Is it a human?"

"The kid you took care of before talked about Warcraft, but he clearly turned into a human. Most people would think of its attributes, right? Why did the kid think of Warcraft first?" Dong Muling said with a cold face.

"...You mean, he knows that monster?" Dong Muqi asked.

"Maybe they are more than acquaintances." Dong Muling said sternly, "But I stayed for a while just now, and they didn't mention the monster at all. They were just chatting about some unimportant things."

"Are they in such a good mood? They still have the mood to chat even in this situation." Dong Muqi was surprised.

"Their team has the best mentality." Feng Yaoshan knew Qin Xiao's usual style very well and took the initiative to speak for them. "During the training, they were the best in terms of quality and time."

"Even if that's the case, these kids are too weird." Dong Muling crossed her arms, "How do they look like kids? Especially Qin Xiao. That look in his eyes is scarier than most of the evil cultivators I've seen."

"...Is he okay?" Feng Yaoshan didn't think so. "That kid is usually quite polite."

Dong Muling: ...

Dong Muling rolled her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Stop arguing. What should we do now? All their superiors are dead and there is no one to give orders." Dong Muqi was stuck in the middle with a headache, trying to prevent their conversation from getting worse.

"We'll just do what we have to do." Feng Yaoshan looked away and gazed towards the forest. "I wanted to ask this before. It should all be over. But they are still so persistent and insist on finding the person who got it. To be honest, is this really for the purpose of ensuring the safety of the person who got it, or is it just that the higher-ups want to get that power?"

"Feng Yaoshan!" Dong Muqi reminded him harshly, half in a warning tone, "You——"

"Me what?" Feng Yaoshan looked at him coldly, "Anyway, I'm quitting. We clearly agreed on this at the beginning. Now that the person above us is dead, we naturally have to follow what we agreed on at the beginning. Let me ask you, what was agreed on at the beginning?"

"..." Dong Muqi looked away. "Once someone gets a hold of a child, no matter their background or strength, we cannot gang up on them, nor pay attention to their subsequent development. The agreement will be terminated, and the noble families will no longer need to send their children here. This organization will also be disbanded, and all the children who can leave the mountains will be sent back. This started a year ago."

"So?" Feng Yaoshan said coldly, "Since those who gave the orders are dead, we should follow the agreement and send those children back tomorrow morning."

"As for the test... in the end, it's just to confirm who got it. But what does it matter if it's confirmed? It's meaningless."

"You say that because the child you got is from your side, right?" Dong Muling suddenly spoke up, her eyes cold and stern, "You are the one taking care of that child, right?"

"So what? Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Feng Yaoshan was not afraid of her and his attitude was cold and firm.

Dong Muling stared at him and suddenly sneered: "Feng Yaoshan, you want to make an enemy of me for a child?"

"Mu Ling——"

"Dong Muling, please understand clearly." Feng Yaoshan's eyes turned cold. "It was you who wanted to make an enemy of me. I am just telling the truth. I have been tired of this kind of thing for a long time. This farce has lasted for nearly a thousand years. Isn't it enough? Now it is finally over, and what are those idiots above saying..."

Feng Yaoshan's light brown pupils exuded coldness. Although he was of the fire attribute, his whole body gave off an icy aura: "If you think my decision or words are wrong, please point it out and refute it according to your own ideas, instead of nagging about what the people I guided got and start making trouble."

"you--"

"If you can't argue, just shut up."

Feng Yaoshan's attitude was unusually tough, which stunned Dong Muling.

Dong Muling didn't come to her senses until Feng Yaoshan left.

"He..." Dong Muling pointed in the direction where Feng Yaoshan left and opened her mouth.

Dong Muqi looked at her helplessly: "I told you not to be so tough all day long. Look, you've pushed him to the limit."

"Who forced him?!" Dong Muling said angrily, "It's totally inexplicable."

"Are you going to listen to him?" Dong Muling turned her head and asked Dong Muqi.

Dong Muqi shrugged: "I'm fine with it. There's no one giving orders now. Since he has an idea, just do as he says."

Dong Muling was still a little hesitant: "What if..."

"Even if some of those guys survive in the end, we can push them out if we want to hold them accountable... After all, it wasn't our idea, right?" Dong Muqi's eyes turned and he smiled.

Dong Muling understood and said no more: "Then I'll go and catch the bird."

……

"By the way, where did those two go?" Yin Xihui suddenly noticed that since the two people stayed there, he had not seen them again, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Qin Xiao didn't say much: "I don't know, he should have left on his own."

Yin Xihui paused, half hesitant: "But Xingchen and Wangqiu are very far away from here——"

"...Then I don't know." Qin Xiao's expression was complicated, and he didn't lie. He really didn't know where Zhu Yin took the child, but it shouldn't be a big deal.

Yin Xihui didn't hesitate for too long. After all, they just met by chance and were not familiar with each other. He asked out of curiosity.

Qin Xiao and the others didn't expect that they would have to wait until dawn.

In the middle of the night, Yin Xihui couldn't bear it any longer, so he said hello and went to sleep. Seeing this, Qin Xiao offered to keep watch and let the others go to sleep first.

It was not until dawn, when everyone had been awake for a while, that we could vaguely see a few huge birds flying towards us.

Dong Muqi touched the Guji bird under him. The monster understood, raised its head and flapped its wings, landing steadily beside Qin Xiao.

"Yuhua, come up." Dong Muqi shouted downstairs.

In a blink of an eye, Yin Xihui saw that the person who had brought him here before was also riding a Cuckoo and stopped behind him.

"Come on, we'll take you back."

Dong Muqi sent Qin Xiao and the others back to the mountain where they had just met. Qin Yun'an was surprised to find that he and Qin Xiao were on the same mountain.

"How does he divide it according to?" Qin Yun'an was still confused when he saw Qin Xiao was going to come down with him.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao glanced at him obscurely.

"What a coincidence, haha." Qin Yun'an didn't take it seriously. He scratched his head and laughed.

...You may soon find that there are many coincidences.

Qin Xiao thought about it, but didn't say anything. He just nodded and walked down the mountain.

It was almost evening when Dong Muqi brought them there. The sun was glowing slightly red and the clouds in the sky were glowing orange, which made people feel warm just by looking at them.

It was already autumn, but the weather was still a little hot. When Qin Xiao and his companions got to the foot of the mountain, they found that they were dressed very differently from the people around them. Their clothes were tattered and dirty, like beggars.

Qin Yun'an met the strange looks from passers-by, scratched his head uncomfortably, and looked at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao's expression remained unchanged, and he soon met Mo Hanyu at the corner.

"...Compared like this, we feel like we just came out of the deep mountains and forests." Mo Hanyu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Qin Xiao gave him a strange look: "...Aren't we?"

Mo Hanyu: ...

Indeed, he was narrow-minded.

"But we can't just hang around like this." Mo Hanyu had a headache, "We can't stay here forever."

"Come up."

Qiongqi suddenly emerged from Qin Xiao's collar, and in full view of everyone, it turned into the size of a bull, with its wings on its back stretched toward the sky. Everyone dodged.

The sudden appearance of this monster obviously scared quite a few people, and the crowd's eyes became a little strange.

Qiongqi turned around and repeated to Mo Hanyu: "Come up, I'll take you there."

Mo Hanyu was delighted at first, but then hesitated: "This... isn't good, right?"

Qiongqi shook his head impatiently: "Hurry up, the sooner you arrive, the sooner you finish."

"But... Qin Xiao and I don't live in the same place." Mo Hanyu hesitated.

"Then I will definitely take him back, and you can walk home later." Qiongqi said without any hesitation, "I will follow him, you can do whatever you want."

Mo Hanyu: ...

Fine.

Mo Hanyu was not too disappointed. After all, he had to pass through Rongcheng on his way home, so this could be considered a ride.

Qin Yun'an stood there looking at them, hesitated for a long time, and finally turned around and prepared to walk back by himself.

After Qin Xiao and Mo Hanyu sat firmly, Qiongqi flapped its wings, grabbed Qin Yunan's collar with its claws, and hung him directly in the air.

"——Ah hey hey!!" Qin Yun'an was caught off guard and was carried upside down for dozens of meters. His breathing stagnated and he was almost frightened to death. He quickly shouted to stop.

"Why are you yelling?" Qiongqi glanced at him unhappily, "If you yell again, I'll throw you down."

Qin Yun'an looked down again and saw that the plane had already flown into the clouds.

If you throw it here, it will be smashed into a paste.

Qin Yun'an shut up decisively.

Because Qiongqi hooked him up with his clothes using his nails, there were all kinds of air currents and wind directions in the air, and his whole body was suspended in the air, causing Qin Yun'an's heart to keep testing the edge of beating wildly and stopping.

Qin Yun'an even lost the courage to look down. He kept his eyes closed all the way, his heart trembling constantly.

Qin Xiao and the other man sat safely on Qiongqi's back, showing him the way.

Qiongqi was very fast. Occasionally, when it encountered Qi cultivators riding flying monsters on the road, it would just fly past them, and the other party would not even be able to see Qiongqi's afterimage.

When we arrived in Rongcheng, the sun had not changed much.

Qiongqi chose to stay on a small hill outside the city. Just as he put Qin Yun's saddle on the ground, he saw this human kneeling on the ground with weak legs, stretching out his hands tremblingly, and retching with a wow sound.

Qiongqi:......

Qiongqi moved aside in disgust and looked towards the horizon.

It was also the first time for Qin Xiao and Mo Hanyu to fly so fast in the sky. Although they felt a little uncomfortable, it was not as exaggerated as Qin Yun'an.

When Qiongqi saw the two people coming down, he shrank and lay on Qin Xiao's shoulder, waving to Mo Hanyu: "Goodbye."

Mo Hanyu: ...

Mo Hanyu's expression was complicated: "Are you so impatient to get me out?"

"What else?" Qiongqi didn't feel anything was wrong.

Mo Hanyu ignored him and looked at Qin Xiao.

"It's hard to walk on the road at night." Qin Xiao looked at the sky and touched his head, "Be careful on the road."

Mo Hanyu looked at him and touched the tip of his nose: "I don't know when we'll see each other again after this departure..."

"How could that be? If you want to see him, can't you just come here in person?" Qiongqi asked puzzledly.

Mo Hanyu pulled the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh, but in the end he couldn't laugh: "...The situation is a bit complicated, but I believe we will definitely meet again."

"Of course." Qin Xiao said, turning around and wanting to leave.

Seeing this, Mo Hanyu wanted to call him, but he didn't know what to say after that. He could only move forward and then stop. Finally, he pursed his lips and stared at Qin Xiao's back in a daze.

But Qin Xiao thought of something halfway through his walk and ran back to ask Mo Hanyu: "Do you have money?"

Mo Hanyu was stunned and shook his head.

Where does he get the money?

Does Xiao want to buy something?

Mo Hanyu thought about it, looked at Qin Xiao with some regret, and shrugged.

Who would have thought that Qin Xiao took out his own knife, tapped the handle twice, and the handle cover popped out, and a few gold coins poured out.

"Spend it on the way." Qin Xiao gave all the gold coins to Mo Hanyu, "I guess you can't go back today. This money should be enough for accommodation."

Mo Hanyu was stunned.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Qin Xiao stuffed the gold coin into his hand, waved at him again, and said goodbye to him: "Let's go, bye."

Mo Hanyu looked at him, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and he hugged Qin Xiao fiercely.

Qin Xiao's body stiffened, not knowing what was going on.

Qiongqi turned away without watching. Qin Yun'an touched his neck and frowned, thinking about something.

"Goodbye." Mo Hanyu said softly, and his breath hit Qin Xiao's ears, feeling especially cool.

Qin Xiao thought for a moment, patted his back comfortingly, and said nothing.

The atmosphere was just right at this moment. The gentle sea breeze, the orange sunset in the sky, and the vast grasslands around were all perfectly integrated into this soft scene.

"……Thank you."

Mo Hanyu said softly and let him go.

What a big deal.

Qin Xiao waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.

Seeing Qin Xiao turning around again, Mo Hanyu had nothing to say this time and watched him go away.

Not until the figure disappeared did Mo Hanyu reluctantly withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but sigh.

"...Mo Hanyu?"

A sudden whirlwind blew past, and a sound came into my ears.

Mo Hanyu's whole body froze. The voice was very unfamiliar, but he still knew the identity of the visitor at the first moment.

Mo Hanyu slowly turned around and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar person standing high on the hillside with his back to the sun, looking down at him.

The sunlight was so blinding that I couldn't see the man's expression, but the sudden breeze carried all his words into my ears.

"You didn't die outside?"
