Elder Youâs words were meaningful.
MO Xiu had thought that You Lao would blame him for not cherishing Master Tangâs efforts. He did not expect that he would say that he had made up for Master Tangâs regrets.
Elder You continued,â During the two months of waiting, Old Tang told us about what happened when he was young. At that time, he was faced with the same choice as you. He chose to stay on the battlefield and lost the person he loved. He was stubborn and said he didnât regret it, but Old Du and I could see that he regretted it.â
âItâs fine as long as Senior doesnât blame me. I wanted to apologize to you.ââ
Old You raised the wine pot in his hand and took a gulp. He spilled half of it and drank half of it, choking himself.
MO Xiu could empathize with Elder Youâs feelings. Without Elder Du by his side, it meant that all his old friends had left, leaving him alone.
Now, even if he drank wine, it would not taste good. It was just a formality, pretending to be drunk.
âMO Xiu, Iâve lived to my age and seen too many things, but I donât think I can see as clearly as you can. Iâm not as arrogant and domineering as I was when I was young. Iâm not as arrogant as I was when I was old. Iâm too timid to even say that I like you. Iâm very weak and have never followed my heart.â
Senior, you canât say that,â Moxiu advised.â The contribution youâve made to humanity in your life is something I canât compare to. âââ
Elder You looked at MO Xiu with lifeless eyes and smiled indifferently.
âHahaha, if possible, who would want to become a Saint? Everyoneâs essence is first and foremost a person. If you donât follow your heart, how can you call yourself a person? You did something we didnât dare to do. I believe you can go further than us.â
â Thatâs exactly what I thought,â Moxiu said with some emotion.â Itâs just that itâs a pity for Masterâs expectations of me and the things he has done for me. âââ
Old You shook his head and said,ââMoxiu, I originally thought Old Tang was right, but now that Iâve lost everyone close to me, I finally understand that Old Tang was wrong. Did he really change the status quo of mankind after giving his life? No! He had given up too many things in his life, so there were some things he was wrong about. It was just like how you didnât like the reputation he gave you, but he didnât know.â
MO Xiu was taken aback. He suddenly felt that this old man, who had always been a hypocrite in front of his friends, had suddenly sublimated. He had seen through many things, and he was now somewhat like the Elder of Heavenly Secrets.
It was just that one was unfathomable, while the other was drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
The two of them chatted for a long time. MO Xiu asked about Old Tang and Old Du, and then asked about Old Bai.
What surprised MO Xiu was that Elder You didnât resist these painful things and calmly told Xiu about them.
âElder You, was my master handsome when he died?â
Elder You pursed his lips and said,â To be honest, heâs a little handsome, but heâs still far from me. Old Du was also very handsome when he died. Itâs just that Old Bai is not as handsome.ââ
MO Xiu smiled apologetically.
It was almost time. MO Xiu had asked all the questions he needed to ask, so he got up and left.
The moment MO Xiu stood up, the vitality that Elder You had just recovered from chatting disappeared from his eyes again. He continued to sit there with the wine pot in his hand.
MO Xiu silently left. He didnât try to persuade Elder You anymore. He couldnât persuade him anymore.
Mu Qingyi had been waiting by the side, and MO Xiu was smiling at her.
âThis Elder You is really not bad.â
âYou heard our conversation?â
Mu Qingyi nodded in embarrassment and said,ââWell, I was a little curious about what the great poor man you spoke of was like, so I eavesdropped on your conversation.â
âItâs nothing!â said MO Xiu.
Unknowingly, it was already night time. MO Xiu and Mu Qingyi did not do anything else and stayed here for the night.
Big Cat went to look for MO Xiu once that night and brought Big Afraid over. He told MO Xiu to let Big Afraid follow him so that it would be easier to communicate with him.
MO Xiu was already very familiar with Big Afraid, so he didnât reject it. It would be much more convenient to have someone by his side.
Moreover, Big Scared was a member of the Big Cat Clan. His skill was the Descent of the Four Martial Gods, and his combat strength was extremely strong.
He was speechless for a night.
The next morning, when Qingyi woke up, she looked at MO Xiu or her phone. She had been looking at it since last night.
âMO Xiu, what are you looking at? Is there something important?â
MO Xiu caressed Mu Qingyiâs hair and said with a faint smile,ââlâm arranging some things for you. When youâre back, you still have to see what the people think of me.â âHow is it?â
âWhat do you mean?â
â I donât understand what youâve arranged, so Iâm asking how I evaluate you.â
Moxiu said,â Whatâs the matter? Thereâs a serious disparity between the two. Some people have a bad impression of me, while some people support me. Is it proportional?â Half and half.â
Mu Qingyi thought about it and said,â If you say itâs half and half, then the situation is not good. There must be someone helping you in secret. In other words, more than half of the people donât like you.â
âThatâs right!â
Mu Qingyiâs brows were knitted together as she said,ââltâs all because of me. How can you still laugh?â
MO Xiu said nonchalantly,â Iâve already said that this time, Iâm going to destroy everything before I can rebuild. Therefore, the remaining positive comments will also disappear after a while. âââ
Mu Qingyi did not really understand why MO Xiu would do this. It was clearly still too late to salvage the situation. She had never received so much attention like MO Xiu and had never shoulshouldered so many peopleâs expectations, so she could not understand.
Since she did not understand, Mu Qingyi did not ask. This was what Mu Qingyi made MO Xiu feel comfortable about.
Without disturbing Xiu, Mu Qingyi intentionally led the conversation to
MO Xiu was able to understand Mu Qingyiâs intentions and felt very happy.
âDong dong dong!â
Someone knocked on the door.
MO Xiu opened the door and was terrified.
âWhatâs wrong?â
â Umâ¦â Big Fear said,â You said yesterday that we were going to the downtown area of Yan City. I forgot to ask you about the time last night. Iâm here to confirm it now. Umâ¦lâll make the arrangements!ââ
Moxiu looked at the time and said,â Letâs do it in half an hour. Our destination is the headquarters of the Strongest Group.âââ
Big Fear nodded and left, starting to make arrangements.
MO Xiu turned to Mu Qingyi and said, âQingyi, pack up and prepare to leave!ââ âShould I go with you? Will it affect your work?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
â Thereâs nothing important for now,â Moxiu said.â Iâll bring you to meet my friends officially and get to know them.ââ
In such a long time, MO Xiu and Mu Qingyi barely met each other, let alone introduce each other to their friends.
There was no actual mission for the gathering of the strongest group this time. The main purpose was to meet his friends and see how they were doing recently.
After a simple packing, the two of them went out and got into Big Fearâs car.
Actually, it would be faster to fly there without taking a car. However, they were already in the city, and Moxiu was on a work mission. It was better to keep a low profile..
