Before Qin Moyu could even feel happy, she heard Nan Xun say, "But I have a condition."
"What are the conditions?" Shen Mo looked at Nan Xun warily, and when he noticed that Nan Xun's gaze was on Qin Moyu, he blurted out without thinking, "I won't let you have Moyu."
Qin Moyu covered her face. What on earth was this guy thinking?! Could he please stop being so love-struck?!
Nanxun: ...
He said with a mixed feeling, "I just want Mo Yu to help me search within the inheritance to see if there really is a formation that can revive my master."
"Ahem." Realizing he had misunderstood, Shen Mo coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.
But since he had already said it, Shen Mo said defiantly, "Who told you to be so resolute just now? Now that you've suddenly agreed, who wouldn't suspect that you have ulterior motives?"
For Shen Mo, no amount of rare treasures in the world could compare to Qin Moyu, even the inheritance that was extremely important in resisting the Heavenly Dao. The fact that Nan Xun kept looking at Qin Moyu made him subconsciously feel that Nan Xun must want to snatch Qin Moyu away.
Qin Moyu was both amused and exasperated by Shen Mo's explanation, a subtle sweetness welling up inside her. Shen Mo's straightforward attitude of putting himself first was indeed hard not to be moved by.
But Qin Moyu didn't show his emotion on his face. He pretended to be nonchalant and asked Nan Xun, "If you're willing to give me the box, I'll definitely help you find it."
"Then I'm relieved." Nan Xun's eyes crinkled with joy, a huge weight lifted from her heart.
Finding the inheritance requires three boxes, two of which are in Shen Mo's hands. That makes his own unique box useless. Now that Qin Moyu is here, Shen Mo won't make a move, but what about in the future? Nan Xun doesn't think he can keep this box.
Since we can't keep the box anyway, we might as well use it as a condition to exchange for the formation. This way, we can avoid putting Qin Moyu in a difficult position and also revive our master, killing two birds with one stone.
Qin Moyu carefully put the box away and sincerely said, "Thank you for believing in me."
Everyone knows Nan Xun's purpose in giving the box away, but the harmonious ending was also due to Nan Xun's trust in Qin Moyu.
Because if Qin Moyu were to be a little unscrupulous and pocket the box, Nan Xun would have no grounds for complaint, and it would truly be a case of all his efforts being in vain.
"I trust you, without needing a written agreement." Nan Xun joked, repeating the same words Qin Moyu had said when they first met the Meng Beast.
Because of his childhood experiences, Nan Xun found it difficult to open up to someone and become a friend. However, Qin Moyu's unwavering trust in him during a critical moment was enough to move him. He knew he couldn't entrust his back to someone he had only met once, so from that moment on, he considered Qin Moyu a friend.
That's why he felt so guilty when Qin Moyu was implicated, and even insisted on giving the most important jade pendant, which was essential for his life, to Qin Moyu.
Qin Moyu smiled. He hadn't expected that a casual remark he made would be remembered so clearly by Nan Xun. In any case, being trusted by someone is a happy thing.
Now that they had the box, Qin Moyu and Shen Mo didn't plan to stay any longer. Qin Moyu waved goodbye and prepared to leave after agreeing to meet Nan Xun in the Southern Kingdom.
The lineage was confirmed to be in the Western Continent, so they flew away on their swords to search for it.
The longsword, carrying the two of them, gradually rose into the air under Shen Mo's control.
Just as Shen Mo was about to leave, Qin Moyu suddenly tugged at his sleeve, telling him to wait a moment, and then called out to Nan Xun below.
Nan Xun looked up in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"No, I just wanted to tell you something."
Qin Moyu stood on the flying sword, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The next second, elaborate patterns appeared on his face, and a red lotus flame slowly swirled around him.
Satisfied with Nan Xun's shocked expression, Qin Moyu grinned like a child who had pulled off a prank. He waved at Nan Xun and shouted, "Don't use my identity to make me take the blame next time!"
After saying that, Qin Moyu gestured for Shen Mo to leave on his sword.
Shen Mo naturally had no objections, and the two quickly disappeared into the azure sky.
"Nan Xun?" Liu Yiyi waved her hand in front of the stunned Nan Xun, puzzled. "What's wrong with you?"
Nan Xun suddenly realized that Qin Moyu was actually Yu Lin.
Faced with Liu Yiyi's puzzled expression, Nan Xun scratched his head with a wry smile and said, "It seems that I haven't paid back a good enough debt to Mo Yu."
Although Liu Yiyi didn't understand, she still said with relief, "Didn't you say that only by living can one atone for sins? In time, there will always be a chance."
Is there still a chance...?
Nan Xun glanced in the direction Qin Moyu had left, thought of Shen Mo, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
This opportunity is hard to come by.
He had a gut feeling that Shen Mo wouldn't give him that chance.
After all, if he could, Shen Mo would gladly hand over the entire world to anyone.
…………
Following the clues Qin Moyu had previously analyzed about the box, they arrived at a place perpetually shrouded in mist, which the locals called Yanjiang (Smoke River).
A thick white fog seemed to tangibly cover the river, and it could be seen as a white expanse from afar. The closer one got to the sky, the darker it became. There was no wind or sound, and the atmosphere was desolate and bleak.
We've arrived at the destination, but where is the legacy?
Qin Moyu and Shen Mo took out the three boxes, but no matter how they were arranged, there was no reaction.
Shen Mo didn't think Qin Moyu's analysis was wrong, so...
"It might not be the right time yet." Shen Mo looked at the river shrouded in white mist and spotted a small wooden raft on the riverbank.
Qin Moyu also saw the small wooden raft that was faintly visible in the white mist.
"Let's go take a look." Seeing that dusk wasn't approaching anytime soon, and since they were waiting anyway, Qin Moyu pulled Shen Mo towards the small wooden raft.
Because the fog over this area is too thick, and there are no special spiritual herbs, the spiritual energy is weak. Not only are people rarely seen, but even animals are few and far between.
