Chapter 12: Qingyi Fears Nothing
Jiang Qingyi didn't know how she walked out of the Medical Hall.
She flew back to Lingqian Peak like a walking corpse.
All Jiang Qingyi could think about was that her Mastercould only live for thirty years.
She couldn't imagine a world without her Master.
If this world had no Master, then what meaning did it hold?
Unconsciously, Lingqian Peak appeared before Jiang Qingyi's eyes.
"I can't be like this. I can't face Master with such an expression; Master will be sad."
Jiang Qingyi patted her face, exhaled deeply, and forced herself to smile, as if she knew nothing.
When Jiang Qingyi returned to the courtyard, she saw her Master sitting there.
The afternoon sun shone on Xiao Mo's paper-like face, and the young girl's heart was twisted as if by a knife.
If she could, she would willingly suffer all this pain in her Master's stead.
"Master, why are you in the courtyard? You should rest well."
Jiang Qingyi landed on Lingqian Peak and ran towards her Master.
Xiao Mo smiled, "Staying in the room all the time isn't good; it's too stuffy. I need to come out and get some fresh air."
"Then this Disciple will accompany you."
Jiang Qingyi rolled up her sleeves, poured her Mastera cup of tea, then walked behind her Master, her tender small hands gently massaging Xiao Mo's shoulders.
Just as Jiang Qingyi forcibly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Xiao Mo spoke.
"Master, please just say it. No matter what it is, Qingyiwill agree to Master," Jiang Qingyi said with her eyes curved in a smile.
Xiao Mo patted Jiang Qingyi's small hand: "Master, I want to go out and travel. Do you want to come with Master?"
"Travel?" Jiang Qingyi blinked, looking at her Master in confusion.
"That's right." Xiao Mo nodded, "I want to leave Dragon Spring Sword Sect and see more of this world. Qingyi, are you willing to accompany me?"
"Qingyi is willing!" Jiang Qingyi didn't hesitate at all, "No matter where Master wants to go, Qingyi will always accompany Master!"
"Good." Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, "Then pack up. We'll depart tomorrow."
"Mm! Qingyi will go pack now!"
Jiang Qingyi quickly ran into the room and began packing her luggage.
For Jiang Qingyi, she also wanted to travel and enjoy the scenery with her Master, regardless of Sectmatters.
And what if, while traveling, they encountered a powerful Cultivator who could heal her Master's injuries?
Or what if they encountered some Opportunity and her Master's injuries were cured?
This was not impossible.
At least it was much more hopeful than staying in Dragon Spring Sword Sect!
Early the next morning, Xiao Mo and Jiang Qingyi left Dragon Spring Sword Sect.
They didn't say goodbye to anyone.
Xiao Mo actually didn't know where to go himself; he just kept heading north with Jiang Qingyi.
They arrived at a town and bought a carriage.
Jiang Qingyi drove the carriage, and Xiao Mo sat inside.
The two of them passed through town after town.
Sometimes, they would stay overnight in an inn.
Sometimes, they would camp out in a cave.
Unconsciously, a month passed.
Neither of them knew how far they had traveled, but at least they had already left the territory of Liang Country.
It was the second month after leaving Dragon Spring Sword Sect.
As the carriage traveled along a small road at the foot of the mountain, a woman stood before them.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Qingyi stared at the woman in front of her.
The long sword, profound frost, was already in Jiang Qingyi's hand.
"Qingyi, she is an old acquaintance of mine." Xiao Mo's voice came from inside the carriage.
Xiao Mo lifted the curtain and stepped out.
Jiang Qingyi quickly helped her Master out of the carriage.
"Qingyi, go fetch some water." Xiao Mo said to Jiang Qingyi.
"But Master…"
Jiang Qingyi glanced at the cold woman.
She knew her Master wanted to send her away.
But this person seemed to have ill intentions.
"It's fine." Xiao Mo patted Jiang Qingyi's small hand, "Master will be fine, be good."
Jiang Qingyi pursed her lips, gave the woman one last look, then took the water bag and turned to walk away.
"I'm very curious, why did you help me?"
Xiao Mo looked at Xia Chan and asked.
Two months ago, when Xia Chan came to find Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo had once wanted to kill Xia Chan.
But during this time out, Xiao Mo realized something was wrong.
If Xia Chan truly wanted to tell Qingyi the "truth," she wouldn't have come to find him.
Because there was no need for such an unnecessary action.
She could have gone directly to Qingyi.
So Xiao Mo came to a conclusion.
Xia Chan had come to inform him on short notice.
The purpose was to make him take Jiang Qingyi away from Dragon Spring Sword Sect.
"Because in that winter, when I was about to starve to death, it was Madam who saved me."
Xia Chan spoke slowly.
"Now, Xiao Wang Residence has spared no expense or favor to enlist the Blood Butterfly Pavilion.
Originally, King Xiao of Liang wanted to tell Jiang Qingyi about her background to make her hate you, to damage her Dao Heart, and to make all your efforts over the years come to naught.
But since the Blood Butterfly Pavilion has taken over, there's no need for that anymore.
King Xiao of Liang asked me to tell Young Master, this is his last act of benevolence as a father to you."
"Heh heh heh, Blood Butterfly Pavilion, ah, they strike to kill, never resting until their target is dead." Xiao Molaughed, "Then Blood Butterfly Pavilion can try… cough cough cough… cough cough cough…"
Xiao Mo coughed violently.
"Pah!" Xiao Mo spat out a mouthful of blood to the side, then took out a Medicinal Pill bottle from his embrace, poured out a Medicinal Pill, and swallowed it.
Xia Chan looked at Xiao Mo's half-dead appearance and frowned: "This Innate Sword Bone was forced upon Young Master; it has nothing to do with Young Master. Young Master only needs to cultivate well, and your future is limitless.
Yet now you are in such a half-dead state.
Young Master, do you think it's worth it?"
"What isn't mine will never be mine. I don't want it either. I just want to come cleanly and leave cleanly, just like my mother."
Xiao Mo smiled as he looked at Xia Chan.
"When my mother picked you up from the snow that year, do you think it was worth it?"
Xia Chan: "…"
"You should go." Xiao Mo waved his hand, "My Disciple is back."
Xia Chan turned to look, and Jiang Qingyi was staring intently at her from behind a tree.
"Madam is a good person, but good people don't always get good returns." Xia Chan turned and disappeared into the forest.
After Xia Chan left, Jiang Qingyi quickly ran over: "Master, what did that person want with Master?"
"She told me that someone wants to kill us and has even enlisted the Blood Butterfly Pavilion." Xiao Mopatted Jiang Qingyi's head, "How about it, are you scared?"
Jiang Qingyi held her Master's hand and shook her head vigorously:
"As long as I'm with Master, Qingyi fears nothing."
