New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Before he left today, he told the two little guys that after Liu Qing cleaned the cave and Liu Hong harvested the peanuts in the peanut field, the two of them could go down the mountain to participate in the martial arts conference in a month, and they would not have to come back after that and could stay with their families.

He went down the mountain to buy some gifts for the two little guys, thinking of saying goodbye before leaving. But when he walked into the cave, he heard the two children were full of anticipation for going down the mountain, and they didn't seem to be reluctant to leave him at all. The Condor Hero Nan Jing couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey!"

His sigh echoed in the cave, carrying a hint of helplessness and loneliness.

He thought the two little guys would be a little reluctant to leave, but he didn't expect them to be so eager to get down the mountain.

But come to think of it, he brought them to this cave without their parents' consent, and did not allow them to go down the mountain to communicate with their families. It was good enough that they did not blame him, so how could they be reluctant to leave him?

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He thought that after more than a hundred years had passed, after meeting all kinds of people and saying all kinds of goodbyes, he would not feel sad about the two little guys leaving. Unexpectedly, the two little guys had not left yet, but they didn't say a word of sadness, which made him feel a little sad.

However, when he turned around and prepared to go back into the cave to say a few words to the children, he unexpectedly found that they were already standing at the entrance of the cave. His face suddenly became a little speechless. He didn't know when they came out and he didn't even notice them?

"Master..." Liu Qing and Liu Hong called out in unison, with a slight sob in their voices.

Their eyes were slightly red and their eye sockets were wet, obviously they had just cried.

In fact, they missed their families, relatives and friends, but they were reluctant to leave here, and reluctant to leave this master who was not very good at taking care of people.

But they have lived here for ten years, growing from little kids who knew nothing to adults, and have learned some good martial arts and knowledge, all thanks to the master and the Divine Condor. Over the years, the master has been like a father to them. Although he doesn't know how to love and take care of them, he has done his best to make them happy. Once a teacher, always a father. They have long regarded the master as their second father.

Now that they are leaving, how could they not feel the slightest bit of reluctance?

They were looking forward to going down the mountain, and a big part of that was also to hide their inner reluctance and sadness.

"Why did you come out?" Nan Jing asked in surprise.

"We can't bear to leave you..." Liu Qing said in a low voice, his eyes full of reluctance.

Liu Hong then said: "Yes, Master, we don't want to leave you..." As she spoke, her eyes became slightly red again, and it was obvious that she was reluctant to leave her Master.

Nan Jing was touched, it turned out that these two little guys were not without any regrets.

He walked up to them, gently touched their heads, and comforted them: "Silly children, all good things must come to an end. One day you will have to leave your master and venture into the martial arts world on your own. This time when you go down the mountain, you can participate in the martial arts conference, meet more people and things, and spend time with your family. This is a rare opportunity."

"But we still can't bear to leave you..." Liu Qing and Liu Hong said in unison.

Over the past ten years, they have truly regarded this naughty old master as a family member. Although they are surprised as to why the master has white hair but an immortal face, the reason given by the master is that he once ate a magical herb that can keep a person's appearance unchanged.

Nanjing nodded, smiled and said: "Master knows what you mean, but this is also the only way to grow. I believe that in the near future, you will become outstanding martial arts masters." As he spoke, his throat became a little dry. He was not used to parting after a long time.

Liu Qing and Liu Hong wiped their tears and nodded vigorously.

They are fully aware of Master’s expectations and are determined to live up to Master’s expectations and work hard in cultivation.

Nan Jing smiled with relief, and then said: "After you go down the mountain, you must be careful and cautious, and don't trust others easily. People in the world are treacherous, so don't take it lightly."

"Yes, Master, we will remember it." Liu Qing and Liu Hong responded obediently.

Nan Jing also gave them some other precautions, such as how to protect themselves when in danger, how to find food and water, etc. He also told them that if they had any difficulties or needed help, they could always come back to him. Then, he gave them the gifts he had prepared.

"I picked these gifts specially for you. I hope you like them," he said gently.

He prepared clothes, shoes and socks for them, as well as a lot of dry food and gold and silver money, which were all needed for the journey. Of course, he was not very good at choosing women's clothes, so he asked someone to buy them for them.

Liu Qing and Liu Hong accepted the gifts and burst into tears of gratitude.

"Thank you, Master. We will definitely be careful about safety." They said in unison.

Nan Jing nodded, patted their heads for the last time, and said, "Okay, go ahead. Remember to take good care of yourself and come back to visit Master more often when you have time."

Liu Qing and Liu Hong's eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, as if they had made up their minds to walk out of the forest. They hugged the gifts in their hands tightly, carrying a small bag on their backs, as if these were all their wealth. When they turned around and prepared to go down the mountain, they couldn't help but look back at their master Nan Jing.

Nan Jing turned away, with his back to them, unwilling to let his eyes fall on the backs of the two children leaving. He was afraid that once he saw them leave, his reluctance to leave would become stronger, and he might even have the urge to trap them in this cave. He would rather silently endure the pain of separation than let the children feel his reluctance to leave.

"Master..." Liu Qing called softly, his voice trembling. He looked at his master's back, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. Nan Jing still had his back to them, waving his hand slightly, and said in a deliberately cold tone: "Let's go, let's go, go down the mountain, and find your family."

Liu Hong also gazed at the cliff where they were and the surrounding forests. A trace of attachment and reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she couldn't help but shout out: "Master..." This shout seemed to contain endless thoughts and gratitude, echoing in the mountains for a long time.

The clear and pleasant voice of the young disciple was like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, calling out in a melodious voice: "Master!" This call was like a thunder, exploding in Nan Jing's heart. He trembled all over, suddenly closed his eyes, tried to restrain the surging emotions in his heart, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Don't... don't call me Master anymore. Let's go quickly, the journey is long, you must be more careful and pay attention to safety."

Brother and sister Liu Qing and Liu Hong watched their master interrupt them again and again, and could not help but look at each other in silence. Liu Qing looked helpless and sighed softly: "Master, we don't know how to go down the mountain."
