Chu Yunxi knew that his mentor was afraid that the paradise he had built would be exposed to the court and the world and fall apart again.
But she was very reluctant to give up. She said she looked the same every ten years. How many ten years could there be in her life?
"Sir, Xi'er has inherited your mantle and opened Tianxia Academy. I hope that one day you can be at the helm."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten to ask for Jun Lingyun's consent, so she turned to look at him sincerely.
Jun Lingyun was helpless. Only now did his son think of him, but he remembered him at least, didn't he? He nodded generously in approval.
Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sikong Yu hopefully.
Sikong Yu's expression seemed to be nostalgic and sad. Perhaps he thought of the former Sikong Academy, which was popular all over the world, but he regained his composure in an instant.
"If there were peace and prosperity, it wouldn't be bad to leave behind the past and become a teacher."
Chu Yunxi understood the deep meaning of Sikong Yu's words. She knew that her mentor must have the same vision of the world as Jun Lingyun.
They bravely move forward alone, just for the hills and valleys in their hearts and the mountains and rivers between their brows.
"Sir, Xi'er will be waiting for that day to come. Please take care of it, sir."
Sikong Yu smiled and nodded. In Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi, he saw vitality and hope, something he once had but had lost for many years.
"Sir, I will go to the capital soon. If there is something urgent, you can go to Shangshan Escort Bureau to send a message."
Shangshan Escort Agency? Jun Lingyun instantly understood how the Gate of Life and Death could travel freely among the five kingdoms.
Sikong Yu opened the Shangshan Escort Bureau all over the five countries! But why was he so unguarded against himself? Aren't he afraid that he would violate the law?
A gentleman is magnanimous, and he is talking about people like Sikong Yu. Jun Lingyun clasped his fists and sincerely saluted Sikong Yu as a junior.
"Senior, let's say goodbye."
Si Shang, Si Shan, Si Ruo and Si Shui put on their masks again and made a gesture of invitation.
Jun Lingyun held Chu Yunxi's hand.
"Xi'er, let's go. We will meet again."
Chu Yunxi turned back three times with each step. At the entrance of the cave passage, he took another look at the paradise created by Sikong Yu, and finally passed through the darkness and returned to the mortal world.
Bai Xiao and the others were restless, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their master came back intact.
"We will send you out of Qingfeng Mountain."
The four of them finished speaking and were already leading the way. There were many traps in Qingfeng Mountain, and the Northern Barbarian Wolf Girl was eyeing them. Naturally, the four of them were worried that they would go down the mountain on their own.
"Thank you."
Jun Lingyun thanked him and stepped forward to follow.
Si Qi naturally became Wu Lu's responsibility again. Wu Lu couldn't help his curiosity and asked Si Qi in a low voice.
"Miss Siqi, do you know the master of the Life and Death Sect?"
Si Qi didn't hide anything and nodded. In Wu Lu's eyes, Si Qi, who knew such a powerful figure in the world, was really calm.
Wu Lu scratched his head and wanted to know how Si Qi got to know such a mysterious person, but he felt that this was a private matter and it was not good to ask more questions. He hesitated several times.
Si Qi saw what Wu Lu was thinking, and in order to repay him for protecting him along the way, she said something cryptic.
"He was originally supposed to be the head of my family, but now, I can only call him senior."
If the Sikong family had not died, and if her mother was still alive, she could be considered a child of the Sikong family.
But these words really shocked Wu Lu.
Si Qi, she belongs to the same clan as the leader of the Life and Death Sect? That is the leader of the Life and Death Sect who spreads his power across the five countries and makes even the imperial court fearful!
No wonder Si Qi knows a lot about everything, but she really hides it.
Wu Lu suddenly thought, if he offended Si Qi, would he be hunted down by the Gate of Life and Death?
He instantly felt that his hands had nowhere to put them. However, Si Qi gave him a thumbs-down.
"Do you want me to fall to death?"
Wu Lu hurriedly grabbed Si Qi, but for the sake of his own life, he made a major decision.
"Miss Si Qi, when you return to the capital, shall I teach you Qing Kung Fu?"
Next time, Si Qi can keep up by herself.
Si Qi looked sideways at Wu Lu, and the brilliance in his eyes made Wu Lu almost hit the tree, and he hurriedly calmed down.
"Dang, pretend I didn't say that."
Si Qi smiled lightly.
"I heard it all and can't let it go."
The group followed the path they came from and finally returned to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.
The four of them, Shangshan Ruoshui, bowed their heads slightly to Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi as a salute.
"Let's just say goodbye."
Then he looked at the second and fourth children.
"Little brother, see you later."
Watching the four of them disappear, the second and fourth child looked at each other and smiled.
"They still remember us."
"That's natural. If you don't fight, you won't get to know each other."
But after saying that they didn't know each other, the two felt that something was wrong. They shouldn't be so familiar with people from the Life and Death Sect, right? The Life and Death Sect is now a target that the court wants to eliminate.
Isn't their master's trip just to find a breakthrough to solve this matter?
The two of them secretly raised their eyes to see Jun Lingyun's reaction. It seemed that they didn't care, so they stopped thinking about it and followed their master.
"Ling Yun, let's take the official route."
Chu Yunxi thought that the wolf goddess was haunted, so it was better to avoid it for the time being.
Jun Lingyun looked at the sky. He might not be able to reach the next city before it gets dark.
"Just listen to Xi'er. We'll stay in Licheng tonight."
Although the official route is slower, you can still visit privately incognito and see the people's livelihood.
As soon as we entered Licheng, there was a lively sound of selling. The streets were not filled with people begging like the last time we came here, but instead were lined with vendors setting up stalls.
"Master, it seems that this new official has taken office and is doing well."
Bai Xiao clearly remembered how those poor orphans hung their bodies in the dark woods to protect themselves.
Such a miserable scene and the lively scene in front of me were actually in the same place, but only two or three months apart.
Jun Lingyun was also emotional.
"It can be seen that the life and death of the common people are all tied to the superiors. If they can live a good life, who would want to become a troublemaker."
Chu Yunxi agreed very much. Since God had given her and Jun Lingyun a new life to relieve their past grudges, they should use this life to benefit the people and repay God.
In the western suburbs of Licheng, in the dark woods, a dark figure asked the pretty girl next to him with a hoarse voice.
"Are you still following?"
"I won't follow you anymore. Without the mountains and forests, it won't be fun anymore."
The girl had a pure smile on her face. If you didn't know better, you would have thought she was a harmless little girl.
Jun Lingyun and the others slept peacefully all night, replenished their spirits, and left Li City at dawn.
Jun Lingyun held Chu Yunxi in her arms and controlled the speed of the horse to a comfortable range for her.
"Xi'er, what did you say to Senior Sikong yesterday that made him change his mind?"
He could feel that Sikong Yuyuan was determined to kill his father.
In that case, he could neither sit back and watch his father being killed, nor could he kill Sikong Yu. No matter who wins or loses, it will definitely be a life-or-death situation.
This time, Chu Yunxi did not tell Jun Lingyun everything she knew.
