"Are you angry?" At this moment, Shen Yebai shamelessly leaned in and touched his forehead with Qin Moyu's, being extremely intimate.
Qin Moyu crashed directly into it, making a loud thud.
"hiss…………"
Shen Yebai gasped, seeing tears welling up in Qin Moyu's eyes from the pain, and felt both amused and heartbroken: "Silly girl."
Qin Moyu turned her head away, not wanting to pay him any attention.
At this moment, Shen Yebai put him down, but Qin Moyu was too weak to stand and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Shen Yebai was watching closely and caught him in time, then carefully helped Qin Moyu sit down on the ground.
“I told you you couldn’t walk.” Shen Yebai naturally squatted down with his back to Qin Moyu. “Get on, I’ll carry you.”
Compared to being carried in a princess carry, Qin Moyu was less conflicted about being carried on someone's back, leaning against Shen Yebai's back with a mixture of belief and doubt.
Shen Yebai easily carried the person on his back and walked steadily forward, saying as he went, "You don't feel so bad now, right?"
"You just...did that on purpose..."
Qin Moyu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"More or less."
Shen Yebai chuckled: "I really wanted to carry Mo Yu over, but you just wouldn't... Seeing your big reaction, I couldn't help but tease you a little."
"As expected, he's still a big jerk," Qin Moyu snorted.
"Mo Yu, I really hope you can always be this vibrant and happy."
Shen Yebai said.
He had seen countless dead people, but he couldn't even imagine what would happen to him if Qin Moyu died.
—It's probably like the walking dead.
Actually, he never dared to tell Qin Moyu that he knew how much Qin Moyu valued the old Taoist priest, but he was unsure how much he meant to Qin Moyu.
He was genuinely afraid that if Qin Moyu, having avenged himself, lost his target, would be able to heartlessly abandon him and face death in despair.
Qin Moyu seemed to enjoy excitement, but Shen Yebai could sense his distance from the world, as if he came from another world and could never identify himself as a person of this world.
Shen Yebai needs to do something to make sure that Qin Moyu has the courage to continue living after she has truly taken her revenge.
Fortunately, Qin Moyu was much calmer than she had imagined.
"Idiot." Qin Moyu sighed, pinching Shen Yebai's cheek angrily. "Don't think that just because you say that, I'll forget how you treated me just now. Let me tell you, when we get back to Dongzhou, the task of cleaning the yard will be yours—and I won't help you at all!"
"Okay," Shen Yebai said with a smile, "I will definitely work hard."
"Of course." Qin Moyu yawned, and no one saw the emotions churning in his eyes, but he still said, "Not only will you have to work hard, but you'll also be a bodyguard and thug, the kind that doesn't pay you, hehehe."
Shen Yebai smiled, but when he saw Zuo Shu not far away, his heart sank.
He really wanted to go back with Qin Moyu, but he also had to resolve his relationship with Shen Mo, otherwise he would never have peace.
but……
Shen Yebai felt Qin Moyu's hot breath on his neck, and his eyes darkened slightly.
How should I tell Mo Yu?
Unexpectedly, Qin Moyu gave Shen Yebai a reason: "Yebai, I just..."
Qin Moyu recounted everything that had happened while she was unconscious to Shen Yebai, then said, "...That's how I woke up. I think... although we can't go to the Extreme Cold Lands right now, I still want to go to the Guanlan Sect to look for clues, or ask Master Xuanjing. We don't need to go through the Abyss Lands this time to get back. I heard that the Guanlan Sect has influence here, and they're going back to their main sect soon. How about we split up? You go back first, and I'll go back to the main sect with them. What do you think?"
In the past, Shen Yebai would have definitely disagreed a thousand times over, but now that he intends to separate from Qin Moyu, this is actually a good excuse, since he doesn't want Qin Moyu to know his identity as Mo Yuan.
The safety of sending Qin Moyu and those whose backgrounds were unknown back still made Shen Yebai frown. He pondered and hesitated, then suddenly remembered Shen Yu.
“I’ve thought of a better way—” Shen Yebai gestured for Qin Moyu to look at Shen Yu and the other two.
“Shen Yu holds a high position in the Southern Kingdom, and the Southern Kingdom’s royal family has a rich collection of books. Why don’t you go with them to the Southern Kingdom’s royal family to take a look?”
Although the Southern Kingdom's royal family has Shen Mo, based on Shen Yebai's understanding of him, the other party wouldn't stoop so low as to use Qin Moyu to blackmail him, especially since he had already agreed to make a deal with Shen Mo.
It didn't matter where they went, but Qin Moyu had his own considerations. The key question was whether or not to go with Shen Yebai, so he asked, "Then Yebai, what about you..."
"I was just about to tell you that I have some things to take care of and I'll have to be apart from you for a while. Once I'm done, I'll come to the South to find you, and we can go back together, okay?" Shen Yebai said, taking the opportunity to express his thoughts.
"Okay." Qin Moyu didn't ask Shen Yebai what was wrong. He felt it was perfectly normal for people to have secrets, but...
"Wait for us to go back."
Qin Moyu nuzzled Shen Yebai's face and whispered, "I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Shen Yebai also felt guilty for keeping it from Qin Moyu. "I also have something to tell you."
They never imagined that the things they kept from each other would become such a tragic and unexpected turn of events.
44. Chapter Forty-Four: Confirmation and Separation of Daoist Couples...
Shen Yebai carried Qin Moyu to Zuo Shu. After examining her, Zuo Shu said there was nothing seriously wrong; she was just exhausted from overusing her spiritual energy and would be fine after a period of rest.
Shen Yu had already achieved his goal for this trip, so when Chen Yi said he would take him back, he nodded in agreement. He was surprised that Qin Moyu wanted to go back with him.
