15 miles is not too far, you can go and take a look next time.
Chu Wuji remembered Yunze Township well, and thanked him with a fist:
"Thank you. I'll be leaving now."
The shop assistant saw Chu Wuji pushing a heavy cart and preparing to leave Sanquan Town and said in surprise:
"Sir, it's so dark now. Why don't you wait until daybreak before leaving? The roads are not easy to walk on at night. Be careful not to get lost!"
"It's okay, I already know the way."
When Chu Wuzhi pushed the cart away, the shop assistant quietly cast a spell on the little foxes, and several firefly-like light spots flew onto their bodies.
The little foxes' teeth will not recover completely out of thin air, but they will re-enter the teething period. In this way, even if the young man with great strength is puzzled, he will not think that it was the shop assistant who helped them.
Not long after Chu Wuji walked out of Sanquanwei, Taoist Jiuwu came with Yun Qingying.
Yun Qingying landed steadily. The Jiuwu Taoist beside her encouraged her, "It's easy, isn't it? Why are you worried about not being able to keep up? Qingying, come over a few more times and buy me some wine. You'll be able to perform it skillfully soon!"
When the Taoist Jiuwu saw his junior brother coming out, he threw the wine gourd over and said, "Give me five jars, fill them up!"
The shop assistant said helplessly: "Sister Winemaker, we just sold one jar, there aren't that many left."
"What! In this godforsaken place, are there so many people buying alcohol?"
Jiuwu Taoist couldn't believe it and felt a little depressed.
"It's the young man with supernatural powers I mentioned last time. He just bought a few fruit trees and left with a jar of wine."
As the shop assistant spoke, he poured the remaining four jars of wine into the wine gourd.
At this point, the batch of Fox Fairy Wine that was brewed a hundred years ago was completely lost.
Taoist Jiuwu shook his head, looking at the half-filled wine gourd, feeling so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe:
"Really? Where did this drunkard come from? He's trying to steal my drink... Junior Brother, next time you should mark up the price a little higher. Or just limit the purchase to one small cup at a time."
The shop assistant looked in the direction where the young man left and said regretfully:
"That young man has a strong vitality, which is rare in the world. I saw him a few days ago and his hair was still black. After he went to pay homage to his mother, his hair has started to turn white.
"Deep love does not lead to longevity. This is true for love, and even more so for family. Even a strong body cannot withstand the torment of grief."
Yun Qingying was still reviewing her previous experience, trying to master this magic of traveling as soon as possible, when she was unknowingly attracted by the conversation between the two seniors.
Could it be him...?
Yun Qingying hurriedly asked: "Senior, where did the person you just mentioned go?"
Taoist Jiuwu blinked. It was rare to see this girl so emotional. She usually had a very calm temperament.
"Qingying, why are you curious about this? Do you want to buy the wine for me?"
"......right."
It was difficult for the shop assistant to give directions because Chu Wuzhi was walking on a wild road. Once he entered the forest, it was difficult to figure out which direction he was going. The wind blew down leaves, which easily covered his footprints.
"I almost forgot about this! I cast a spell on his little fox to help with his teeth, but I tried to capture the aura of the spell."
"Then I'll go take a look. Senior Jiujiu can go back to the sect first and don't have to wait for me."
"I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for you to get some wine for me."
Taoist Jiuwu had an easygoing temperament. She waved her hand, indicating that Yun Qingying could go and play by herself. She then turned and went into the winery to pick up the stock in the wine cellar.

Yun Qingying walked on the clouds and mist, traveling through the night sky.
She caught the subtle aura of magic and soon saw a man pushing a cart.
There were several fruit trees tied to the wooden cart, as well as a jar of wine. It looked extremely heavy, but the man pushed it forward alone. The cart moved steadily and quickly. Occasionally, when he encountered a gravel road, he would simply lift the entire cart, leaving the two wheels hanging in the air, and then put it down after passing the gravel road.
This scene was enough to make ordinary people in the secular world dumbfounded. Even the outer disciples of Shenxiao Sect who had just come up the mountain might not be as steady as him.
The girl recognized the black warrior robe he was wearing at a glance. Although there were some differences, it was undoubtedly Chu Wuzhi's.
"It's really him!"
Yun Qingying murmured to herself, her eyes as cold as the moon fell on Chu Wuji's hair, which turned white and was very dazzling.
"How did you become so haggard, Madam Bai... Is the big white snake gone?"
She stood in the air, quietly observing Chu Wuzhi, not knowing what to say to him first after going down to say hello.
As Chu Wuzhi walked, he passed by a stream and saw some small fish splashing in the water. He stopped to rest, looking at the water, as if he was waiting for the fish, or as if he was lost in thought recalling something, and occasionally looking up at the sky in a daze.
After a while, he wiped his eyes, perhaps thinking of something sad.
Yun Qingying recalled the time when Chu Wuzhi and she went fishing and grilling fish on the way here in the carriage.
"We were on the road at the time, peaceful and comfortable, chatting and laughing. Everything was going well. Madam Bai took him to live with her good friend, and I was also preparing to go up the mountain to become a disciple..."
The girl murmured, in fact, this is what happened a while ago, but the situation changed so suddenly.
She did not continue to watch in the air, but controlled the clouds and slowly descended towards Chu Wuzhi.
*
By the stream,
Chu Wuji wiped his tears not because he was thinking of sad things, but because his eyes were burned by the sun in the morning and he just watched the moon as usual at midnight. His eyes felt a little dry and uncomfortable, so he had to lower his head and rub them.
The little foxes were also very considerate. Fearing that his eyes were too dry, they peeled an onion for fun, which made Chu Wuji cry.
"Stop peeling them. There are only three onions in total. If you peel them again, you won't be able to eat them." Chu Wuzhi said unhappily.
Suddenly, a few little white foxes, not knowing what they saw, quickly climbed into his arms, their ears twitching vigilantly as they looked behind him.
Chu Wuji had just rubbed his eyes when the little foxes crawled over and the onion juice on their paws made him cry again.
He turned around and saw Yun Qingying slowly descending from the sky. Chu Wuji was stunned in surprise. He didn't expect that this girl would appear without any warning.
Because the meeting was too sudden, Chu Wuji didn't know how to reminisce about the past, so he just smiled and said hello:
"It's been a while since I last saw you, Miss Yun. It seems you're now a disciple of the Immortal Clan. Fortunately, the carriage attack didn't affect your journey to becoming a disciple."
Thinking back to the time when his godmother turned into a giant white snake, Chu Wuzhi was worried that Yun Qingying’s resume would have more black history such as “being too close to the demon tribe”.
If the "background check" fails and her cultivation path in the immortal sect becomes bumpy, Chu Wuji will definitely feel guilty.
Yun Qingying took a few steps towards Chu Wuzhi, looked at the tears slowly sliding down his face, quickly touched him in her arms, and took out a handkerchief to wipe them for him.
She lowered her head in guilt, remembering that she had promised to go back to support, but hesitated and delayed for so long, and apologized:
"I don't know what happened back there, but... I'm sorry!"
"what?"
Chu Wuji was a little confused and couldn't keep up with his thoughts.
Girl, what are you feeling sorry for?

Chapter 71 Qingying: Tell Master Ning quietly
In fact, when recalling the attack on the carriage, Chu Wuzhi still felt that there were many contradictions, and always felt that something seemed wrong!
However, as a man living in the mountains and a chess piece, he had only just learned a little about the ways of cultivation and did not have the foresight to sort out these doubts.
Just as "when people are speechless to a certain extent, they will laugh instead", when the contradictions became so numerous that they were difficult to understand, Chu Wu Ji simply gave up.
Even now, when he suddenly heard the girl apologize and said "I'm sorry" for no apparent reason, Chu Wuji didn't have much curiosity to find out.
Especially since he was a grown man, and he looked like a tough guy crying in front of a girl, Chu Wuzhi was only concerned with the embarrassment in front of him.
He took the handkerchief, wiped away the tears caused by the onion smoke, laughed awkwardly, and said:
"Miss Yun, do you want to know what happened after the big white snake's attack? It's complicated... well, I just buried my mother a few days ago, and then some unexpected events happened."
Yun Qingying had been at Sanquanwei before, and heard the two elders mention that Chu Wuji had buried his relatives. She didn't expect it to be true!
She knew she had said something wrong and bit her lips in self-blame, her eyes falling on Chu Wuji's hair again.
Even when he was working non-stop in the capital and lost the competition, he had never been seen so haggard and miserable.
This kind of desolation doesn't stem from appearance or clothing, but from the negativity of the person's temperament. He has lost his high-spirited and relaxed self...
"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that. I'm just being talkative and stupid!"
"It's okay, there's no need to blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. If you had stayed, we wouldn't have been able to do anything even with our combined strength.
Don't let your life be in danger to move me, Madam Jiang will be sad and upset!"
After Chu Wuji finished his earnest exhortation, he felt somewhat relieved that the girl did not insist on asking about the follow-up.
Otherwise, he didn't know how to explain that the big white snake turned into his aunt and used that kind of cross-border method to transfer the merits and fortune to him. Later, after his aunt was buried in the stone coffin, her body was stolen.
Yun Qingying didn't dare to look Chu Wuji in the eye. She wasn't good at chatting, so she was silent for a while before she apologized again:
"sorry......"
"Don't apologize! You didn't do anything wrong. Don't take the blame on yourself!"
Chu Wuji smiled helplessly. He was really amused by this girl.
I thought he was the only one feeling the pressure, but why is Yun Qingying also feeling inexplicably so much pressure?
It was obvious that the mother and daughter were implicated innocently. The aunt was planning to hit them with the tail, but fortunately she didn't hit them, otherwise it would have been a murder.
Moreover, the way this girl who liked to have a cold face kept apologizing just now reminded Chu Wuzhi of himself.
A few days ago, he kept thanking the fox fairy, and he wanted to add "thank you very much" to every word he said.
This is quite fate!
Chu Wuji found a good seat nearby, pulled her to sit down, and then chatted:
"Don't worry about me, Miss Yun, how did you become?"
Yun Qingying sat down beside Chu Wuji with legs crossed and said:
"After my mother and I walked away, I turned back and wanted to share some of the pressure with you, but Brother Chu and the white snake had disappeared.
My mother and I, escorted by our Master Ning Xianzhi, went to the Shenxiao Sect. We spent a few days adapting to life there, and then we began to practice..."
Chu Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his aunt's attack on the carriage had no impact on them. He asked curiously:
"The Divine Sky Sect is what people call the Immortal Clan on the Mountain, right? What do you think?"
"It's truly a paradise, so beautiful! I live on top of the clouds every day, and only when I step down from the clouds can I see the world."
"Not bad! What do immortals look like? Do they behave in a way that's ethereal and otherworldly?"
"When I first came up the mountain, I had the same thought, but later I realized it was just like the people in the mortal world... There were drunkards, impatient people, and old-fashioned people. If I were to say someone had a calm and otherworldly temperament, it would probably be like my master."
Yun Qingying's time in the mountains was very short, and she didn't see much, not even visiting all the sect's holy places, but she did see some people and things.
However, her storytelling skills are ridiculously weak, almost like a child's daily account.
In the morning, I open my eyes, get out of bed, get dressed, practice breathing exercises, and then what happens in the morning...
Fortunately, Chu Wuji was indeed very curious about the world of immortals, and being able to know the daily lives of these disciples satisfied his curiosity a little. Otherwise, he would have complained about her.
......
In the autumn night, in the mountains and forests, beside the stream,
A man and a woman sat next to each other, with the stream as their companion. Even if there was a hanged ghost wandering on the other side, it would not affect the joyful and relaxing chat on the moonlit night.
The man was wearing a heroic black robe, with a straight and handsome figure. His casually tied black hair looked as if covered with snow, adding a sense of mystery and neutralizing the aggressive savagery he learned from the wild beasts. He was like a beast sleeping in the winter snow, restrained in its murderous aura, but inexplicably sad and lonely.
The girl was wearing a cold-colored dress with a tight collar, half revealing her slender neck. Her towering breasts made the collar of the dress look unusually curved. The sleeves at her forearms were made of translucent gauze, and a touch of girlish blush on her snow-white arms was a wonderful embellishment on the plain white dress, making her look both elegant and lively.
Of course, this is just a bit lively in her clothing and temperament. Yun Qingying is still a very cold and dull girl.
Although she is definitely not cute, the girl's coldness and indifference do not give Chu Wuji any sense of untouchable distance.
Yun Qingying finished her diary and then remembered something.
"My master said that she and Madam Bai are good friends and have been asking about your whereabouts. If you follow me to the mountain, Master Ning will lead you to practice together!"
