The Ancient Realm Goddess
Mo Jingtian Go
Away from Tianjun Palace, Qing Yue’er stared at the stream below the cliff. His eyes narrowed watching the extremely swift flow of water.
“Girl, why have you come to visit me so often lately? I feel strange accompanied by a beautiful girl all day,” said an old man while holding a hook. He was fishing fish that looked more like a water monster.
Qing Yue’er also picked up the hook herself. He threw it into the river far below where they were standing. After that he sat on a rock.
“Can I not visit you? Very stingy,” grunts him indifferently.
It had been these three days that he had spent his time in the log cabin that Duan Mu occupied. The old man was the one who in the past had invited him to drink when he was having a conflict with his mother.
The old man also always claimed to be his uncle. Lately he had just found out that Duan Mu was a relative of his father. It is fitting that the wooden cottage he occupies is exactly the same as the wooden cottage drawn in his father's painting.
“Aih, look! A girl usually becomes sensitive when she has liver problems. Did your great lover piss you off?”
Qing Yue’er looked at the old man with squinting eyes. “My love? How do you know these things?”
Duan Mu stroked his beard proudly. “What can this old man not know?”
He might not be in direct contact with Qing Yue’er, with Tianjun Palace, or even with Xie Yingfei himself. However, he was Qing Yexuan's brother.
His sister was being punished in the Heavenly Court for some time. He wanted to help her watch over her family from afar.
“I still don't understand why you care so much about my business. Even your surname is different from my father's,” Qing Yue’er said.
Duan Mu laughed. “My father with Yexuan's father is different, but we have the same mother. We are still brothers, after all. But discussing things like this in this old age, I feel inappropriate.”
“Why?”
“Stupid girl. When you are old, where is your family? There's nothing more. They're dead already. There is no point in remembering that,” Duan Mu said as he grabbed the bottle of wine laid on the ground. Fishing while drinking wine was the old man's hobby.
Qing Yue’er peered down, into the river. He could see large numbers of fish. However, no one came close to the hook. He snorted.
“Old Master, you didn't want to admit that you knew my father. I thought you were my mother's brother, but I'm not sure the Xie family has any Duan family relatives. So, I had a doubt.”
The old man smiled casually. “I used to be hesitant to tell you. After all your father's identity is special.”
He looked at Qing Yue’er at a glance, then asked, “Nak, what is it that makes you unable to face your problems? Go take refuge here will not be able to finish it.”
Qing Yue’er lowered her head. “I'm just pissed at the guy. Just leave him alone to know that I can ignore him. Does she think I'll always chase her like a dumb girl?”
The old man laughed loudly in response. Qing Yue’er raised her eyebrows. “Duan Tua, we've been fishing since yesterday. Why isn't there a single fish we got?”
Duan Mu chuckled again. “Do you think the fish here are just ordinary fish? Of course it's not that simple. I told you before that under this river is another world. If you can get just one occupant, it will be good luck.”
Qing Yue’er raised the corner of her eyebrow. “Fortune? Can it be a treasure?”
“No doubt. The fish are spiritual beings. If you can obtain and utilize it, it will certainly become a treasure,” Duan Mu replied casually.
Hearing that, Qing Yue’er became even more excited. Those fish are spiritual beings, then they definitely have a core.
If he could gather that core and make it into a pill by mixing it with Heavenly Peaches, he would probably be able to break through.
“How to catch them? Can I jump down?”
“Didn't you see something there? Besides those fish.”
Qing Yue’er frowned. He could see nothing but the fish. Even after using spirit power to detect it, the results remained the same.
“That means you can't go there,” said Duan Mu. “Only when one can see something special can he leave. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out.”
“So mysterious ...” Qing Yue’er became astonished. “Did you ever go there?”
“One time, after that I can not enter again. So, it is better to fish here,” reply the man while drinking wine. He seemed to be enjoying his day.
“How long have you been fishing here and how many fish have you got?”
The old man did not answer immediately. A few moments later, he was embarrassed. “Year-years and I just got three.”
“What?”
Both of Qing Yue’er's eyes widened. What nonsense is that! Duan Mu might be patient doing that, but he was not. How could he possibly waste time fishing for so many years?
“Aiyyaa, I'm just an old man. Fishing like this doesn't bother me at all. If you want to go faster, ask your girlfriend for help. Maybe he can provide a solution,” Duan Mu said indifferently.
“You're right.” Qing Yue’er stroked her chin. “But I'm ignoring it now. How could I ask him for help?”
Duan Mu clucked hearing that. “Heaven, why is your prestige so high? Ah, forget it. You think of your own way.”
“Better I go home,” he said in a bad mood.
Duan Mu chuckled at the impatience of Qing Yue’er. He was an immortal who was no longer interested in meddling in the affairs of the outside world. An eccentric person who only spent his time in that log cabin. Fishing has become part of his life.
He could even cultivate while fishing. Ah, a young girl like Qing Yue’er would not know how she took pleasure.
“I will wait for you here to bring the man. Hehehe, I also want to meet the future son-in-law.”
Qing Yue’er snorted. “Why don't you go to Tianjun Palace with me?” He glanced at Duan Mu's wine bottle which was still intact, then quickly picked it up.
“Heh! Restore it!”
The figure of Qing Yue’er quickly disappeared. Only his laughter was heard. “Thank you, Old Duan!”
“This girl!” Duan Mu shook his head a few times. He chuckled and resumed his activities.
Meanwhile, Qing Yue’er returned to Tianjun Palace earlier than the previous days. He walked in the corridor leisurely while looking around.
When it was about to pass through Mo Jingtian's room, suddenly the door of the room opened. He quickly hid. I was not ready to meet that man.
Mo Jingtian's figure walked out alone. The man was wearing a bamboo hat that hid his face and identity. He was still wearing white clothes like before.
Qing Yue’er who was peeking became astonished. Is Mo Jingtian going to leave? But where to?
He quickly followed her. The man continued walking until he came out of the palace. Qing Yue’er became increasingly curious.
It had only been three days that he had ignored Mo Jingtian. Did the man already feel uneasy living in this palace?
Mo Jingtian stopped his steps at the palace gate. His eyes glanced slightly back. Then he said to the gatekeeper, “There are things I should do outside. If anyone is looking for me, tell them not to worry.”
Qing Yue’er of course heard his words. His forehead is deep. What exactly was Mo Jingtian going to do? Will the man come back?
No fine! He should follow her.
Then Mo Jingtian walked out of the palace gate. Qing Yue’er of course immediately followed him. The man continued walking until he stopped not far from the palace.
Qing Yue’er went back into hiding. He peered over the stone monument and saw a man coming to pick Mo Jingtian up. The man looked foreign to her. His face was young and handsome.
He immediately hid his aura and existence. The stranger had an undetectable cultivation level. So, he has to be careful.
“This trip may be dangerous. If they find out .. maybe we will never be able to return,” the man told Mo Jingtian.
Qing Yue’er's heart was instantly boosted. What dangerous move did Mo Jingtian take? Why didn't the man tell her? Is it because he has been avoiding her lately?
“It's okay.”
Mo Jingtian silently glanced at the stone monument that was not far from him. The corner of his lips lifted next to him, then he said loudly, “Perhaps just by not returning, someone new will feel how it feels to be left behind.”
“.…”
Qing Yue’er suddenly felt like she had just been struck by those words. Did Mo Jingtian already know of his whereabouts and deliberately insinuate him?
He closed his eyes and gnashed his teeth hard. “Mo Jingtian!”
He quickly jumped out. But who knows, they are gone. The figure of Mo Jingtian and the foreign man had already left.
The anger of Qing Yue’er instantly vanished. He ran to the place where they were standing before. However, there was no trace of anything. It was like they were never there.
Qing Yue’er's feeling became confused. “Jingtian, don't play games with me!”
Of course no one said. He held his head that felt dizzy. What is Mo Jingtian's plan? What's that guy gonna do?
“Truly men b*jangan! Not only do you always reject me, you even just leave with no one!” furious Qing Yue’er.
“If you don't come back, I'll really go look for you to every corner of the world. See how I'm gonna tie up and drag you home to marry me!”
Mo Jingtian who saw that from the sky chuckled slightly. “I thought he was really angry and didn't want to see me again.”
Di Feng Xi smiled. “How is it possible? Even if Miss Qing was angry, she would not be able to leave Master.”
A faint smile appeared on Mo Jingtian's face. “Come go. Night will come soon.”
“Good.”
