Chapter 47 Farewell
"If I don't show up soon, I'm afraid someone will really think I've been possessed, right?"
Qi Xiyue sat down next to Lin Que, looking at him with a half-smile.
Lin Que quickly denied it, saying, "Cough cough! No, absolutely not. Besides, that's what your brother said, it has nothing to do with me."
The two then fell silent for a moment.
After a moment, Qi Xiyue said softly, "It's almost time to leave."
"Right?"
Lin Que did not answer, his eyes fixed on the flowing water, as if he were tacitly agreeing.
Qi Xiyue remained silent, staring intently at Lin Que as if she desperately needed an answer.
Lin Que avoided her gaze, not daring to look her in the eye.
"Hey!"
After a long while, Lin Que finally let out a sigh, knowing that he was going to find out anyway.
That's it!
He then said, "It'll only be a few days, I can't stay any longer."
"Liu Qingyi is right, I am too weak."
"time does not wait."
After speaking, Lin Que raised his head and looked directly into Qi Xiyue's eyes, his gaze filled with tenderness and apology.
Qi Xiyue looked into that gaze, her heart skipped a beat, but she still said firmly, "Do you remember what I said before?"
"As long as you want to come back, the village is your home."
"Also, it's not mealtime yet, so my brother won't be here for a while."
Lin Que was completely confused and didn't understand what this sentence meant.
Instinctively, just as he was about to ask a question, he saw Qi Xiyue suddenly hug him, her eyes trembling and tightly closed, but still extremely determined.
Her cherry-red lips, as red as cinnabar, kissed Lin Que.
Gentle yet bold.
Lin Que was completely stunned by this sudden moment. Holy crap, my first kiss is gone just like that?
After realizing what was happening, she hugged Qi Xiyue tightly and responded just as enthusiastically.
Lin Que's right hand involuntarily moved downwards.
Yes, it's the same one.
However, before he could succeed, Qi Xiyue slapped it away with a "smack".
After a long while, their lips slowly parted.
Qi Xiyue, who had just been so determined, now looked away and dared not look at Lin Que.
She said with a slightly shy tone, "You...you're trying to do something naughty again."
Lin Que chuckled awkwardly, "It was all beyond my control."
Qi Xiyue rolled her eyes at Lin Que and said, "Well, that's great, you've gotten your share of the benefits."
"I'm ignoring you, I'm leaving!"
Lin Que watched that graceful figure disappear into the distance, his eyes filled with longing.
......
Over the next few days, Lin Que led the village elders and cultivators to familiarize themselves with the surroundings and also told them about the spiritual spring.
If anyone in the village wants to break through to a higher realm, they can come here to absorb the energy.
The elders and the cultivators in the village were all greatly encouraged, as it was as if the Qi family had been given a path to rise again.
Putting aside the fact that there is a spiritual vein underground, the spiritual energy here is already extremely rich.
With the help of the spiritual spring, even those with poor aptitude can soar to great heights as long as they are willing to work hard.
However, the elders were still somewhat worried, since this was a huge sinkhole, and they wondered if passersby might occasionally discover it.
In response, Lin Que smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone, this place is absolutely safe. The sinkhole above our heads has actually been shrouded in an illusion array."
"Most people wouldn't even notice it, especially since this place is deep in the Cangwu Mountains."
Not many people come here.
Everyone who heard Lin Que's words was shocked!
They hadn't expected that this place was actually deep in the mountains, and that the huge illusion array covering the entire sinkhole was something Lin Que only learned about after passing the trial.
If it weren't for this massive illusion array protecting Dan Valley, the ruins would have been discovered no matter how ancient they were.
Fortunately, there is a spiritual vein underground here, which is enough to support the operation of the illusion array.
As for the location of the activation core of this enormous illusion array, Lin Que didn't tell anyone, just in case.
The elder then raised his question: "Does that mean if we want to enter or leave this place?"
"Is the only way to rely on the teleportation array?"
Lin Que nodded helplessly and said, "That's right, that's the only drawback. Each time you enter or leave, you need to spend a thousand low-grade spirit stones."
The elder shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's a good opportunity to train the villagers."
"So that they have at least one goal each time they go out."
"Besides, this place is really nice."
"I believe there is no place more suitable than here."
Immediately afterwards, when Lin Que led the group to the underground space beneath the main hall, everyone was shocked once again!
Lin Que said, "This is the trial ground left behind by Dan Valley. As long as someone can pass the trial..."
"Then you can obtain the opportunity left behind by Dan Valley."
Upon hearing this, everyone was extremely excited, even the elders, as this broadened the path for the Qi family's rise.
Lin Que taught the Grand Elder the methods for opening the underground palace and secret chambers, the teleportation array, and the illusion array at the cave entrance, leaving it to the Grand Elder to decide who should use them.
Three more days passed, and finally it was time to part ways.
Lin Que left Wang Heng's spear and some spirit stones in the village, and planned to leave under the cover of night when no one was around.
As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw a figure waiting there.
He could only awkwardly step forward and say, "How did you know I was leaving now?"
Qi Xiyue said softly, "Just a guess..."
Lin Que clearly didn't believe it, guessing that she must have been waiting here every night for the past few nights.
At this thought, my heart is filled with boundless tenderness.
She said, "I don't like that feeling of parting; it's very painful."
Qi Xiyue didn't speak, but stared intently at him.
After a long pause, he said gently, "After you leave, don't forget that there are still people waiting here for your return."
Lin Que shook his head, looked at Qi Xiyue, and said firmly, "No, I will never forget it, not even for a moment."
He then stepped forward and hugged Qi Xiyue tightly. In that instant, they seemed to become one, and the two embraced and kissed again.
It was even more intense than before.
It will be a long time...
After the two parted, Qi Xiyue looked at Lin Que with eyes as calm as a pool of spring water.
Lin Que dared not meet her gaze again; he was afraid he really didn't want to leave.
He turned around resolutely and waved his hand behind him.
Lin Que entered the secret room teleportation array, and then a golden light flashed.
The person also disappeared into the formation...
Behind her, Qi Xiyue watched Lin Que disappear, and finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks.
Lin Que, having just emerged from the cave, felt deeply distressed, knowing that someone was waiting for him and watching over him as he returned.
There's a feeling that's hard to explain.
A haven of gentle pleasures, a graveyard for heroes...
Lin Que finally understood the meaning of those words, shook his head, and stopped thinking about them.
He strode away...
