Just as he was about to strike, he suddenly felt a brief pause.
It was as if...time had stopped.
Shaking his head to shake off the illusion in his mind, Mu Xian looked at Kong, who had already stood up.
The boy in front of him stood up again, and another bladeless sword appeared in his hand.
Good grief, is there really no other weapon?
Mu Xian frowned, but continued moving, chasing after the traveler and unleashing several more slashes...
As dusk fell and darkness descended, the setting sun caused the struggling travelers to give up their struggle.
"Seriously, is that guy trying to kill you?"
Paimon's small body tried to support the swaying Kong, muttering some complaints under his breath.
However, Kong was not as weak as Paimon had imagined. He simply pressed down on Paimon with the weight of his small hand and looked at the pile of broken bladeless swords on the field with a complicated expression.
"It seems like you've made quite a bit of progress."
Mu Xian stood not far away, with Taro Maru and Hayato beside him. As for the katana in his hand, he had already returned it to Mumen.
"But where did you get all these weapons from?"
Upon hearing this, Kong suddenly froze, then shook his head and smiled, seemingly reverting to his previous mute state.
Kong remained silent, but Paimon chimed in from the side.
"Hey!"
The small white flying object glared at Mu Xian, its cute yet fierce appearance making it impossible to feel any anger: "Couldn't you be a little gentler on travelers?"
"How can it be called a duel if you don't take it seriously? At least it shows respect for others."
Mu Xian, hidden behind the mask, raised an eyebrow and continued, "Besides, even if I really used my full strength, he probably wouldn't be hurt."
Mu Xian's words made Paimon's words catch in his throat, and then he crossed his arms and turned his body to the side.
"Hmph~".
Mu Xian didn't dwell on Paimon's attitude; he looked around the island.
The warriors boarded their boats and left one after another. Tsuchimichi, who was at the back, noticed Mu Xian's gaze and smiled and nodded at him.
Tsuchimon: "What a wonderful duel."
Mu Xian didn't think the overall dominance was anything special, but considering that he had lent him his sword, Mu Xian nodded.
Turning my gaze back, I saw Kong waving at me.
"Goodbye."
As the traveler spoke, his entire body turned into specks of light and disappeared from the spot.
In an instant, only the two people and the dog remained on the entire island.
After glancing at the moon that had just risen above the sea, Mu Xian quickly looked away: "Let's go."
"Wang!"
"Teacher, you have to stay with me so I won't go to your lousy place."
"Woof!!"
Taromaru's rebuttal to Hayato was noticeably louder, even drowning out a whooshing sound in the air.
However, Mu Xian never relied on his hearing to sense danger, and quickly reached out to catch a flying arrow.
Looking in the direction of the arrow, Mu Xian saw a boy wearing a straw hat looking at him. The boy's crooked smile was hardly innocent.
Mu Xian looked away from the boy and noticed a strip of cloth wrapped around the arrow's fletching.
Unfold the strip of cloth, and you'll find a few lines of writing written crookedly inside.
If you want information about General Raiden, come find me.
Remember, you need to be alone!
Mu Xian frowned beneath the mask; the crooked, ugly characters on the cloth strip made him feel quite down.
Chapter 82 Let's go to the beach; the bodies can sink there.
As Mu Xian caught the arrow, Hayato and Taromaru, realizing they were under attack, became alert.
Zaoyou's narrowed eyes widened, and she subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but after glancing at Mu Xian, she stopped herself.
Taromaru stood in front of the two of them, a threatening growl coming from his bared teeth, a far cry from his previous cute and obedient demeanor.
"don’t worry."
Holding the strip of cloth in his hand, Mu Xian comforted himself, "I'll go take a look."
"Wang~"
"Teacher, it's dangerous there."
Mu Xian rubbed their heads with both hands.
"You guys go back first," Mu Xian said.
"No! I want to stay with the teacher."
Zaoyou lowered her head. The little ninja had not yet grown up, but a certain intuition still arose in her heart.
She felt as if the teacher would suddenly disappear again, just like before, as soon as she let go.
"I'm just leaving for a little while," the voice came from above Zaoyou's head.
She looked up and saw that her teacher was still wearing that annoying mask under the moonlight.
Mu Xian squatted down and hugged Zao You tightly.
This is a hug.
The feeling of being embraced made Zaoyou's whole body stiffen, but the warmth in her arms slowly softened her stiff body.
Zaoyou's hands hung at her sides, but she quickly raised them and climbed onto Muxian's back.
The little hand placed on her back was very light at first, as if afraid that Mu Xian would notice.
"I will return."
Zaoyou heard Mu Xian's voice in her ear: "Zaoyou said she should trust her teacher."
Has it been said?
Zaoyou doesn't remember, but that's what she was thinking.
No matter what...
"Zaoyou trusts her teacher."
The two little hands that were holding Mu Xian tightened their grip, as if trying to extract all the warmth from the embrace.
Even if the teacher lied to Zaoyou, Zaoyou will still always believe in the teacher.
"But, Zaoyou really dislikes it when someone lies to her."
"Saoyou doesn't want her favorite teacher to do the thing she hates the most."
Mu Xian loosened his grip on Zao You, only to find himself still being held tightly by her.
Left with no other choice, Mu Xian patted Zao You on the back.
"Alright, that's enough for today," Mu Xian said, comforting him. "Children need to go to bed early so they can grow taller."
"Zaoyou isn't a child anymore..."
"Wang!"
Hayato muttered something, while Taromaru cheered happily beside her, as if trying to cheer up the two people in front of her.
Its call did lighten the atmosphere considerably, and even the initially flustered Zaoyou started to laugh.
Zaoyou loosened her grip on Muxian's little hands, her tone as serious as a little adult.
"Then, teacher, you absolutely must remember to come find Zaoyou!"
Mu Xian nodded, and then walked towards the boy.
As Zaoyou watched Mu Xian leave, her eyes held not only Mu Xian's departing figure but also a hint of reluctance.
I don't know how she managed to look away from Mu Xian and then glance at Taro Maru next to her.
"Let's go back. We can't let our teacher worry about us like before."
"Wang."
...
The light couldn't reach this corner of the island; the moonlight in the corner was blocked by a small tree on the hillside.
It was the same tree that the warriors had praised earlier. The praise seemed to nourish the sapling, and Mu Xian felt that the sapling was much taller than it had been during the day.
"This is not a suitable place to talk business."
The boy wearing a straw hat was hiding in the shadows in the corner, and only came out of the darkness when he saw Mu Xian coming.
"Let's go to the beach; the body can be sunk directly to the bottom of the sea."
The boy chuckled, a slightly sinister smile on his face: "If we two don't enjoy our conversation, then let's see who's more capable."
After saying that, the boy turned and walked towards the beach not far away.
Watching the boy's retreating figure, Mu Xian frowned and followed him.
"Let me introduce myself, I am the sixth seat of the Fatui..."
“I know, they’re called Scattered Soldiers, right?” Mu Xian interrupted Scattered Soldiers.
The stragglers were speechless, then turned to look behind them.
Even though Mu Xian had been following him the whole time, the soldier had the feeling that Mu Xian was walking ahead.
After shaking off the unpleasant feeling, the soldiers got back to the main topic.
