RPAGF Chapter 73 Farewell
Chapter 73 Farewell
"Young Master? He took leave these past two days, I don't know where he went."
"I haven't seen the young master for several days, and I don't know where he is now."
Liu Xingxing asked several people along the way, but none of them knew where Xin Shaoming was. Even if she was slow to realize, she should have seen that this kid was obviously avoiding her.
Since she didn't want to see him, there was no need for her to go looking for him anymore, so she went straight to Fu Hua to say goodbye.
"Won't you stay a little longer?"
Fu Hua put down the book in her hand and looked at her. It wasn't that she wanted to persuade her to stay, but she had heard some things about Xin Shaoming. She was afraid that the child thought that if she didn't see him, she could keep him for a while longer.
"No matter how beautiful the scenery of Mo Nan is, it is not a place for me to settle down. There are still many important matters to be dealt with in the sect. It is not good to stay here for too long."
"Since Miss Liu has made up her mind, I can't keep you any longer. It's just that Shaoming..."
"If he doesn't want to see me, then let him be. This jade slip contains some words I left for him. Please pass it on to me, Your Majesty."
Liu Xingxing took out a jade slip and handed it to Fu Hua, who accepted it.
"Alright then, I wish Miss Liu a safe journey."
Liu Xingxing bowed slightly and left without any hesitation.
After a long while, Fu Hua sat back down in his original spot and said to the person behind the barrier, "Come out."
Xin Shaoming slowly walked out from behind and bowed to Fu Hua, saying, "Your Majesty."
Compared to his initial ignorance and rudeness, he is now noticeably more well-behaved.
Fu Hua placed the jade slip in her hand on the table next to her: "Here, Miss Liu left this for you."
"Thank you, Madam."
Xin Shaoming took the jade slip, his expression somewhat downcast.
"You silly child, if you can't bear to part with someone, why don't you come out and say goodbye properly? You're just making yourself miserable now that they're gone."
"I……"
"It's not like you can't see her again. You can go find her again when you are able to protect yourself. Xuanshan Sect is not far from here. The continent is only so big. If you want to see her, you will be able to see her sooner or later."
Fu Hua's eyes also held a hint of unreadable emotion, as if she were recalling something.
"I see that Miss Liu is quite strong and not someone to be underestimated. You will have to work even harder to catch up with her. People are always attracted to the strong."
Xin Shaoming didn't quite understand what Fu Hua meant, but he wanted to stay by Liu Xingxing's side and be someone who could help her, or at least not be a burden.
Xin Shaoming gripped the jade slip in his hand, his eyes resolute: "Yes, I will definitely become stronger!"
Then you won't abandon me so easily.
Did Liu Xingxing know that Xin Shaoming was hiding in Fu Hua's room?
She knew it; she sensed it as soon as she entered. But why didn't she expose him? Why did she rush to see him when he didn't want to? Although she knew Xin Shaoming didn't not want to see her.
Anyway, she had already put the necessary instructions in the jade slip, so it didn't matter whether she saw the person or not.
Liu Xingxing sat cross-legged on the leaf-shaped magical artifact to regulate her breathing, and the artifact slowly floated towards the direction of Penglai Stream.
After giving away the jade, I inexplicably fell into a spatial rift on my way back to the sect. I stayed in the mortal realm for several months before finally returning here.
Originally, I just wanted to join in the fun, send Xin Shaoming back, and leave, but I didn't expect it to take another two years.
I wonder how Xiao Mo is doing on Qiwu Peak, and whether those kids are cultivating properly.
The puppets she makes can last for eight to ten years without any problems. They can learn most of what her main body knows, and are more than capable of teaching a few children who haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Thinking about it, he used magic to speed up the journey.
……
Mo Nanjiang is not considered very far from Penglai Stream in the eyes of cultivators; it is even half the distance of Yunhai Bitian. However, it would still take four or five days to travel there using a flying magic weapon.
Moreover, Penglai Ravine is no small place. It would take half a day to get back to Xuanshan Gate from the edge of Penglai Ravine. Liu Xingxing rushed for five days and finally saw the gate of Xuanshan Gate. It was fortunate that nothing else happened along the way.
"Two years, no, three years, and I, Hu Hansan, am back!"
It has indeed been almost three years from beginning to end. She lived in the mortal realm for a period of time, and in the royal palace for more than two years. Including those spare moments, Liu Xingxing has never counted them carefully.
She only remembered that the joint sect competition started in mid-June, and now it was the end of May, so it should be coming soon.
Lu Xihan returned after three years of training abroad and showed off his skills in the competition. Liu Qi also made his first appearance in front of others and shone brightly. He should make Gongsun Qian look good.
Wei Qiushuang's strength increased greatly after comprehending sword intent, and she made it through the rounds. Unfortunately, she encountered Lu Xihan when she was advancing from the top 20 to the top 10. The two fought fiercely, but unfortunately, Lu Xihan was the daughter of the current Heavenly Dao, and Wei Qiushuang could only suffer a narrow defeat.
Although Lu Xihan narrowly won, she was bedridden for half a month and couldn't get up, so she naturally couldn't participate in the subsequent competitions and could only stop at tenth place.
She could have moved up a few more places, but she gave up because she didn't want to be too conspicuous; that's how it's written in the novel.
With geniuses from all sects gathering in the joint competition, it's no surprise that someone with a "mixed spiritual root" like her managed to squeeze into the top ranks. She'll definitely attract the attention of all factions, and someone might just discover her secret.
Therefore, giving up appropriately is also a way to protect oneself. If it weren't for the chance to meet Wei Qiushuang, Lu Xihan might have given up when she was in the top twenty. The prizes for the top twenty were already enough for her. Greed makes one more likely to lose.
As usual, Liu Xingxing concealed herself and flew back to her Qiwu Peak without disturbing anyone.
At this moment, Xiao Mo, who was bored and chasing a small spirit beast somewhere on Qiwu Peak, seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped. Then, looking towards the mountaintop, she trotted back.
Liu Xingxing, now on the ground, looked around the courtyard and saw that it was exactly the same as always, spotless and clean, with not a speck of dust on the walls. She thought that the three dogs hadn't been slacking off, and nodded in satisfaction as she walked back to her bedroom.
There was no one in the courtyard at this moment, and it was unknown where they had gone to cultivate. Xiao Mo's aura here was not very fresh, and it was unknown where he had gone to play.
Back in her room, she changed into a new set of fairy robes, the original ones having been torn to shreds when she forcibly opened the boundary barrier.
Later, because I needed to disguise myself as an ordinary person, I kept wearing the robes and gradually forgot about them. I didn't expect to remember to change into them when I returned here.
The illusion cast on her face was so convincing that if she hadn't checked herself in the mirror while changing clothes, no one would have remembered that her face was an illusion.
Other people's illusions can only last for ten days or half a month at most, but hers has lasted for more than two years without any problems. One has to admire Liu Jun's cultivation level once again, as she can use a mere illusion for so long.
but……
"Isn't Shaoming the only kid who knows about this illusionary face all along?"
She seemed to have discovered something important.
"Meow~"
Something dark suddenly darted into her arms, and Liu Xingxing instinctively hugged it.
"Xiao Mo!"
Liu Xingxing was overjoyed.
"Did you come back to find me because you knew I was back?"
"Meow~"
Little Mo meowed as if in response.
Liu Xingxing happily held it up, forgetting all about what had happened: "Why is it so dirty and covered in mud? Where did it go playing?"
With one hand free, Liu Xingxing cast a cleaning spell on Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo instantly became a clean little kitten again. She walked to the table and put it down, then took out a bunch of things she had bought for it from her storage ring, including food, drinks, and toys.
"Here, I bought all of these for you. This fried chicken and chestnut cake are especially delicious. Try them."
Xiao Mo didn't stand on ceremony and took a big bite of the fried chicken, wolfing it down. Liu Xingxing watched it with a smile on her face, occasionally patting it.
I knew it would like it.
Xiao Mo is different from ordinary cats. She has no dietary restrictions and can eat anything, so you don't have to worry about feeding her anything she shouldn't.
Even if it doesn't eat or drink, it's not a problem. After all, it's a third-tier cat demon, which has reached a stage similar to the foundation building stage of human cultivators. It has long since stopped eating grains.
Seeing that Xiao Mo had made two crispy chickens and eaten three chestnut cakes, there was some noise coming from outside the yard. It must be that the three of them had returned. It was time for Liu Xingxing to go out and see them.
