He crossed the mountains and meadows, then dismounted and removed the reins and saddle from the white horse. He also removed the horse's hooves.

Then he patted the white horse's head.

"Alright, that's enough for me. You can go wherever you want."

The white horse stamped its hooves, then neighed loudly.

Then, as if understanding Wei Tu's words, it turned around and quickly ran into the mountains and fields.

It looks like a lush grassland.

And it can live freely.

The young man, who had released his horse and returned it to the mountains, decided to walk this final long road alone.

He came to the seaside, where he saw a little girl dressed in animal skins with a headdress adorned with feathers, standing on the edge of a cliff and throwing stones into the chasm with all her might.

Wei Tu walked over curiously.

"Little girl, who are you hitting?"

The little girl paused for a moment, then turned to look at Wei Tu.

"I...I threw it into the sea."

Wei Tu asked, puzzled.

"Throw it into the sea? Is that how you catch fish?"

"No, no, I just... want to fill in this sea!"

"Reclaiming the sea? This sea is so vast, if you keep throwing stones at it, when will it ever be filled in..."

The little girl, however, seemed very determined.

"I don't care! I'm going to fill it up! I'll throw this away every day, and one day it will be full!"

Wei Tu asked, completely baffled.

"Then why are you reclaiming land from the sea?"

The little girl said angrily.

"Because I had a dream!"

"Dream?"

"Yes! I dreamt that I... I was swallowed by this sea! So I wanted to fill it up so it wouldn't swallow me anymore!"

Wei Tu chuckled, then sighed and looked at the little girl.

"Have you ever thought that if you weren't on this beach... you would never have been swallowed by the sea?"

"Ok?"

The little girl stared at Wei Tu in shock.

"It seems so!"

"So if you don't want to be swallowed by the sea... stay away from the beach."

The little girl immediately dropped the stone in her hand and turned around.

"Thank you, big brother!"

"Oh, by the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Jingwei! Goodbye, big brother!"

She left the beach.

Wei Tu chuckled to himself, speechless. What kind of mess was this...?

Is this what the human world is like?

That's really interesting.

As Wei Tu was preparing to return to Xianzhou, he suddenly saw a bird land. It didn't look at Wei Tu, but opened its beak, bit a pebble, and then flew into the sky above the sea, where it threw the pebble into the ocean.

Then it flew back, picked up another pebble, and threw it back into the sea.

And so it goes, over and over again...

Wei Tu was stunned for a moment before he understood.

"This is a bird imitating a human... Do you think it's funny?"

The bird ignored Wei Tu and simply did what it found interesting.

Wei Tu stopped paying attention to the strange bird.

He crossed the sea on foot, heading towards the boundless expanse of water, where the mist drifted and swirled.

Wei Tu returned in the evening.

The Yuanjian Sect was now scattered like stars, as if the sect was deserted and everyone was resting.

Wei Tu didn't know where to go for a moment...

Let's go back to the Medicine King Pavilion... He didn't know what the password for the Medicine King Pavilion was today; that little fox was probably sleeping.

After all, like its owner, it does nothing but eat and sleep.

How about we go back to Xiaoyuan Peak?

Lu Qingyan must be resting by now, right? Senior Sister is probably too…

Let's not bother them.

Then Wei Tu thought of an interesting place.

It's also a good place to quickly get the latest information.

Wei Tu strode toward the Baoguang Hall, where a noblewoman stood, but unfortunately, she was his slave.

……

45. The Anti-Oppression Plan Dyed in Fresh Snow!

This was the period when Ran Xinxue felt the freest.

It felt like I'd never been so free before, a sense of freedom that felt like I was about to fly to the moon.

Firstly, within the Yuanjian Sect, without that old man—the old man who had vanished into thin air could no longer restrain her—Ran Xinxue felt the meaning, or rather, the joy, of living as a human being, free from the fear of death and the choices that tormented her conscience.

Then the boy who possessed the Life and Death Gu and that shameful slave mark was also not in the Yuanjian Sect, allowing him to temporarily forget those humiliations and shames.

What a wonderful feeling!

I can do whatever I want, and I no longer have to worry about anyone's existence.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Yuanjian Sect found that their elusive and icy beauty sect leader was appearing in front of them more and more frequently.

It seemed to add an extraordinary touch to the entire Yuanjian Sect.

However, for some people, the sect leader's behavior was somewhat unsettling.

For example, Su Mi felt it very deeply; it seemed that he had recently been receiving special attention from this sect leader.

During her usual practice sessions, whenever she passed by and saw me, she would always give me a second glance with 'appreciative' eyes, although it was Ran Xinxue herself who said it was appreciative.

Su Mi felt uneasy about the faint smile on the other person's face when they looked at her.

How should I put it? It was as if I was watching a good show.

If you happen to be passing by the entrance of Baoguang Hall, this woman will call you in and treat you to tea and pastries.

They all seemed to be acting like elders, showing concern for my spiritual practice and daily life.

However, the topic often ends up evolving in a rather strange way.

"What a beautiful girl, what a pity."

She would say it with a sigh of regret.

Su Mi would look at Ran Xinxue strangely.

"Sect Master... what's a pity? Isn't it good to be beautiful? You're just as beautiful..."

Ran Xinxue had the air of someone who'd been there all along, her expression brimming with stories.

"Alas, beautiful women are always deceived by bad men. I'm just feeling sorry for you."

Su Mi found it even stranger.

"I wasn't scammed... I didn't."

"That's because you think you don't have it, but actually... it's very dangerous."

"Why is it dangerous?"

"For example, when you find out that the man you like actually likes more than just you... sigh."

Ran Xinxue would speak in a way that was based on hearsay and made up unfounded and ambiguous statements.

Su Mi would wonder if those words were referring to Wei Tu...

It sounds too good to be true... but why would this woman care about these things? Is she just bored and has nothing better to do?

I've never seen a sect leader so concerned about his disciples' private lives...

However, Su Mi still showed basic respect.

"Well... I think it varies from person to person... As for love and romance, is it inappropriate to talk about it now?"

Ran Xinxue glanced at her and shook her head, seemingly with regret.

"Tell me the truth, you and Wei Tu..."

The girl's cheeks flushed slightly.

"What happened between him and me..."

"I should be asking you, where have you and he gotten to? Have you... crossed that final step? If so, that's terrible. He may have reached the Dragon Slayer Realm, but you haven't... Men like that, especially young men in their prime, they don't care much about a girl's feelings. Sigh, he's having a good time, but for you, your future is..."
