”It looks like you've succeeded in breaking through to Stage Three in succession. Hmm, not bad at all.”
By the side of the door, Xiao Hanqing clapped her hands and smiled. She then walked into the room and placed a bowl of hot soup in front of Zhou Tong.
”These days, I've been taking care of you. I said I'd treat you to a meal and I feel like I can't make it up to you anymore. In the future, if there's anything I can help you with, just open your mouth and go through fire and water.” With a grin, Zhou Tong got off the bed and sat by the side of the table, unceremoniously pouring the soup into his mouth.
”There's no use for you at the moment. I'll tell you when I have one.” Spreading his hands, Xiao Hanqing sat down beside Zhou Tong, reached out for his cheeks, and smiled at Zhou Tong: ”Listening to you, it seems like you're about time to leave, right?”
After finishing the soup in his bowl, Zhou Tong wiped the corner of his mouth with a hand and nodded: ”I originally came here to participate in the sect's examination as well, and I should be returning to the sect in a month's time. Before this, I still have some matters to attend to.”
”Then you have to be careful. The Tigers outside are after you.” ”This is a map of the The Outer Regions of the Wasteland. You should keep it carefully, it shows the range of the various races in the Outer Realm. If you follow the route on the map, you will be able to avoid dangerous areas and return to the Eastern Region.”
”Thank you very much.” Putting away the map, Zhou Tong smiled indifferently and looked at Xiao Hanqing, ”Speaking of which, I haven't asked about it for the past few days. I remember the Uncle Yu said that you are temporarily staying here to find something, is it convenient to tell me? Maybe I can help you keep an eye out. ”
”This …” Hearing that, Xiao Hanqing seemed to be stumped, and she stammered to speak.
”I was just casually asking. If it's inconvenient, I won't ask about it.” Seeing that, Zhou Tong immediately waved his hand.
”There's nothing inconvenient about it. We've actually already found the thing we're looking for. However, we're temporarily unable to retrieve it.” Xiao Hanqing shook his head and explained, ”You don't have to care about this matter. Although saying such a thing would be a shock to you, you will not be able to help with this matter right now.”
Zhou Tong unconcernedly nodded his head, thinking that it was true, the things that the experts of the Uncle Yu s and above were looking for were not things that he could step foot in now.
”Then, I will leave first. As for the Uncle Yu, I will have to trouble you to inform them.” Zhou Tong cupped his hands and expressed his intention to leave. After staying here for one and a half months, there was only one month left until the end of Immortal Path Congress. Putting aside the time he needed to return to the sect, Zhou Tong still had something important to do.
Find the Feng Ya of the Tussah Clan and ask for an explanation!
”Go, go, I won't keep you any longer.” ”Here, take this.” Xiao Hanqing curled her lips, and then took out a jade tablet, passing it over to Zhou Tong, ”This jade tablet can contact Second Uncle and me at any time, if you encounter any trouble that you cannot solve, contact us, and maybe help you a little.”
Taking the jade tablet, Zhou Tong solemnly kept it, but the expression on his face had a little of a cheap look: ”Can this be counted as you taking the initiative to leave me your contact information?”
”Pui!” ”Don't just give it back to me, who cares about the contact details for you, you scoundrel.” Xiao Hanqing unhappily rolled her eyes at Zhou Tong, disdained him and then waved his hand, as if driving away an uninvited guest, ”Hurry up and go, if I see you, I'll be annoyed.”
”Hehe, then … if fate wills it, we'll meet again.”
After teasing him for a while, Zhou Tong packed up his things and left the bamboo house that he had been sleeping in for a long time, returning to the great wasteland that was filled with killing intent.
Zhou Tong, who had walked out of the restriction, could not see that at the exit of the restriction, Xiao Hanqing and Uncle Yu were looking at him meaningfully.
”Girl, are you sure it's him?” The Uncle Yu asked with a smile.
”There's no mistake. I never thought that the item he destroyed would end up in his hands. Perhaps this is heaven's will.” Xiao Hanqing pursed her lips and laughed, her beautiful eyes looking at Zhou Tong who was walking further and further away, her lips moving slightly.
”When will you be able to become a Sword Saint Mo Li again? ”I really want to see just how far you can go this time …”
In the Tussah's territory.
Under the faint moonlight, a large number of lairs could be seen side by side between the huge walls of the cave. From time to time, a few Tussah would pass by, as if they were patrolling.
Standing on the distant cliff wall, Zhou Tong leaned against a rock, and lightly bit onto a stalk of grass. A faint bitter taste spread throughout his mouth.
