He hesitated, not knowing how to explain to her: "It's not a mental method... I..."

Seeing that he was in a dilemma, she stopped asking questions with understanding: "Well, the people of the Sea Realm have their own way of surviving, and it's not good for me to ask too much. I'm glad you're okay. Let's go back to the inn to eat. By the way, don't sleep in the stable anymore. Although I don't bring much money this time, we can continue to help people work and earn money on the island. I rented a room for you, and you can live next to me from now on."

The girl's enthusiasm infected him. He stared at her and nodded involuntarily: "Okay, the money... I'll pay you back later."

"What else, really." She laughed at him.

Qi Baige disliked him for being too honest and well-behaved, but she was attracted to his dull and stupid feeling... She felt extremely happy as long as she looked at him and stayed with him, even if she did nothing but stare at him.

Is this what mortals call... love?

Thinking of this, the girl showed a shy expression for the first time.

Afterwards, Mo Ziyu informed Lin Qifeng of the results.

If there was any movement in the South Island, Lin Qifeng's spies would know about it. Therefore, Lin Qifeng learned about the destruction of the Liu family early in the morning and was so happy that he jumped up and down. He had previously thought that this honest and simple-minded pretty boy had no ability and had no expectations. He didn't even think that he could come back alive. Unexpectedly...

This guy seems to be a natural killer. He can fight against many people alone and come back unscathed.

This time, after getting rid of his biggest worry, he began to look at this kid with new eyes. But even so, he was still unwilling to marry his daughter to him. At the same time, he had more ideas.

On the surface, Lin Qifeng patted his shoulder with a kind face and said, "I didn't expect this, Ziyu. You did a good job this time. You don't have to pay the tribute this month."

He was stunned: "Just... one month?"

"Of course." Lin Qifeng looked surprised. "This is what you have to do for me this month. There are other things I will ask you to do next month. I will call you then."

"I don't want to kill anyone anymore..." He lowered his eyes, and that bloody night turned into a nightmare that crept into his mind again.

From then on, he would always dream about the crying of a child, and his heart would be choked with sobs.

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to kill people every month. By the way." Lin Qifeng thought of something, "I heard that the leader has learned a new method to break the curse these days. He is practicing diligently today. Maybe in a few days, once this method is perfected, it will be able to save your sister."

"Ziyuan...is she saved?" His eyes lit up again, hope was right in front of him.

"We can only let the leader try his best. Don't worry, the leader is kind and will do his best to save the refugees in the world."

"Okay...Thank you, Master!" He expressed his gratitude quickly.

After leaving the compound, he returned to the inn.

As soon as he got back to bed, he relaxed immediately. He didn't know why he was so sleepy, so he fell asleep. In his dream... the crying of the child came again...

He woke up from his dream and heard a familiar and warm voice in his ears: "Brother Mo?"

After waking up, he saw Qi Baige standing by the bed, looking at him worriedly. For a moment, it seemed as if a warm current flowed into his painful and lonely heart. He lost his mind and rushed forward to hug Qi Baige.

Qi Baige was stunned, his face flushed and he stood stiffly on the spot.

Her mind was buzzing, her heart was beating like a drum, and she had a lot of associations. Should she live on Qihua Island in the future? Or should she bring him back to Wenxinmen? When is the right time to get married? Would the junior master uncle disagree?

Just as she was daydreaming, she realized that the person holding her was crying.

She had known him for such a long time, but she had never seen him so vulnerable. Her heart softened immediately. She stopped thinking about it and touched his head: "Brother Mo, did you have a nightmare? It's okay, you're awake, I'm here."

Her voice was soft and sweet, enough to soothe his heart, but at this moment, he also regained a trace of rationality, let go of her, and in the dark room, he lowered his head dejectedly and said in a deep voice: "I killed someone."

Those four words sent a thunderbolt through her mind.

……

He could no longer bear the nightmares that lasted all night. On Qihua Island, he had no relatives or friends except his sister. Although he had a good relationship with his former neighbors, they were not people he could confide in. Fortunately, she was there, and he didn't want to suffer any more.

He told her everything.

"Anyway... I will pay you back the money for renting the inn room as soon as possible..." Mo Ziyu finished speaking, feeling relieved, "I will move out as soon as possible... Let's just forget it..."

Qi Baige looked at him reluctantly, feeling extremely sad, but she had no intention of leaving him. Instead, she said, "Brother Mo, Qihua Island is a little secluded, and most of the people on the island are simple and honest. You live a simple life, and Ziyuan is with the island owner. I can understand that you were confused for a moment, but I am angry that you didn't tell me before you acted. If I were by your side, I would stop you."

Mo Ziyu looked up at her with an incredible expression: "Aren't you afraid? I killed someone."

Qi Baige was originally a simple-minded girl, but she grew up in the world of cultivation after all. Not only did she have to exorcise demons all day long, but she also had to deal with those annoying senior brothers in the mountain gate. They were either weird or scheming, and she was used to it.

Deep down, she really didn't blame Mo Ziyu. Everyone makes mistakes, and he was a kind person at heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt so guilty that he couldn't sleep, and he wouldn't have confessed his crimes in front of her.

"What is there to be afraid of? I have seen so many demons." She advised him, "Now that things have come to this, I will accompany you to the South Island to bury those innocent people, and then go to their graves to repent. After that, no matter what task the island owner assigns you, you must tell me first, and I will find a way to help you investigate in advance. In the future, don't do what others say, and leave some room for yourself."

"Bai Ge..." Mo Ziyu was stunned. This was a result he had never expected. He stared at her in a daze.

It was just like what she said. He hadn't experienced much in the past. After his parents passed away, he worked in the blacksmith shop and did odd jobs to support his sister... and...

"Anyway, don't think too much. I'll go with you to South Island to repent. If you don't deal with your inner demons, you will become a demon in an instant." She patted his head, feeling distressed. "Really... you are just too stupid. Listen to me this time."

He was a little confused and thought that after he told everything, Qi Baige would be scared and leave him.

He has nothing now, only she is by his side...
