Peking Opera Cat Heart Feather

The room of Zonggong Baitang and others

"Sister Azi suddenly fainted and hasn't woken up yet. I don't know when she'll regain consciousness. And Sister Xiaoqing hasn't said a word since she emerged from the Sealed Hall. And Xinyu has become erratic since arriving at the Shen Sect, often appearing and disappearing without a trace, leaving us inscrutable. What's going on?" Bai Tang leaned on the railing, his chin resting on his hands, gazing at the setting sun in the distance. An indescribable wave of emotions welled up within him. He felt confused, worried, and uneasy, as if a fog had enveloped him, obscuring the situation.

"She must be in the Imperial Palace. If there's anything she can't talk about, let's ask her on the way..." Da Fei said, sprawled on the bed, sighing helplessly. His eyes were filled with confusion, but when he mentioned "on the way," his voice paused.

"I guess Xiaoqing might be left behind? After all..." Wu Song muttered to himself while frowning and enduring the pain brought by the sequelae of Yunli.

"Sister Xiaoqing loves beauty so much, she definitely won't like cooking. And it would be best if she stays here to accompany mom! And Sister A Zi also needs someone to take care of her." Bai Tang stood by the bed, looking out the window silently, with a trace of loneliness on his face.

"Yeah, it looks like we'll have to say goodbye to Xiaoqing tomorrow." Dafei and Wu Song lay on the bed together, their eyes simultaneously looking out the window, looking at Baitang, who was lying alone on the railing. A faint sense of parting surged in their hearts.

"If Dafei goes to Chang Zong and finds grandma, he will probably stay. And Choupijing, if he goes to Da Zong, he probably won't leave either. In the end, Xinyu and I will probably be the only ones left."

"No," Wu Song's voice came slowly.

When Bai Tang heard this, his dull eyes instantly brightened, a golden glint emanating from them. He seemed to see hope. But soon, his eyes dimmed again, and his ears drooped again. His heart was filled with contradictions and entanglements. He stood there silently, lost in thought.

Body Sect, Seaside

"Do you really want to leave?"

Molan asked Xiaoqing with her back to her, in a steady tone. But if you stood in front of her, you would notice that her eyes were shaking slightly, with an imperceptible tear in the corner of her eye.

Xiaoqing looked at Molan's back, her heart aching, and she said softly, "Yes, I have to leave."

"We have been together for ten years..." Xiaoqing said weakly, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in her voice.

When Molan heard this, her body twitched slightly, but she didn't turn around to look at Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing silently watched Molan's back, her heart filled with reluctance and pain. They had spent many wonderful times together, but now they had to face the reality of separation.

"When are you leaving?" Molan asked this question after a long time.

Xiaoqing took a deep breath and replied, "Early tomorrow morning."

Molan was silent for a moment, then slowly turned around, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Okay, I wish you a safe journey." Molan said softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

"It will take a few more days, and let Xiaoqing stay with you for a few more days. Xiaoqing, I have something I want to talk to your mother alone." At this time, Bai Xinyu suddenly appeared behind everyone.

—A few days later—

Shenzong Seaside

Mu Molan kept looking at Xiaoqing, her brows never relaxed, and in addition to the firmness in her eyes, there was also a hint of reluctance.

"Master, what about the hierarchy of the sect?" Bai Tang and the others were about to set off. Seeing Mo Lan frowning slightly, Bai Tang hurriedly changed the subject.

"I will reorganize the hierarchy of the Shen Sect, so please rest assured, Xingluo Class." After hearing Bai Tang's words, Molan shifted her gaze from Xiao Qing to Bai Tang.

"Please ask the Xingluo Squad to count the supplies." At this time, Rong Mama's voice was heard. When everyone came to the mountain of supplies, they were dumbfounded.

"Meow... so many?" x3

"100 packs of dried fish, 100 packs of shredded squid, 50 packs of bonito roe, 100 packs of grilled fish fillets, 50 jins of stuffed fish balls..."

Bai Tang looked at the list in Rong Mama's hand, which was about ten meters long, and his mouth was watering.

"Hold the map, don't lose it"

At this time, Haipiao came to the crowd with a map in his hands.

"she…"

Xiaoqing saw Haipiao also carrying a package

"This is Haipiao. She is a strange cat that has always been by my side. Although she can't speak, she is very capable. She takes care of your daily life." Molan gave the most caring maid to Xiaoqing.

"If you become the Palace Master and don't even have a personal maid, you will be laughed at by other sects." Seeing Xiaoqing's refusal, Molan quickly raised the issue to the sect.

"But it's too dangerous for him to fight with us." Xiaoqing changed her way of persuading Molan after hearing what she said.

"Neither rhyme nor chaos can hurt him. I will still live here without your care. If you don't take her with you, mom won't let you go."

"Yes...M, Master." Xiaoqing lowered her head when she saw this scene. She did not say the word "mother" but changed it to "Master". After saying that, she lowered her head and walked towards the side of the boat.

After hearing this call, Molan opened her eyes and then slowly closed them.

Bai Xinyu waved her hand, put the mountain of supplies into her personal space, and got on the boat. Before getting on the boat, she once again threw a stone to Molan.

When Molan got the stone, she found that it was square. After inputting some rhythmic power, it just projected a screen with nothing displayed on it. She put it away without paying any attention.

"Set Sail—Set Sail"

"This child has never called me mother." On the beach, Molan and Rong Ma stood together, watching the ships drifting away in the distance.

“Ten years is too long.

You have really sacrificed too much for your sect. If you want to cry, just cry. No cat can see. " After Aunt Rong finished speaking, she bowed and retreated, taking everyone away with her.

On the boat, Xiaoqing was squatting at the stern, burying her head in her sleeves, her body trembling slightly. Bai Tang was also lying beside her. "I just wanted to call you mom in my life, but unfortunately I didn't. Don't leave regrets for yourself." After Bai Tang said that, he pulled Hai Piao beside him and ran towards the cabin.

After Baitang ran away, Xiaoqing could no longer bear the longing in her heart. She stood up and faced the direction of the port, finally shouting the words she had wanted to shout for ten years: "Mom!" The voice resounded throughout the entire sea, as if it would penetrate the clouds and reach the ears of her mother in the distance.

Molan, who had already turned around, couldn't hold back the tears any longer after hearing the words "Mom." They burst out like a flood. She squatted on the ground, covering her face with her hands, and burst into tears, her sobs filled with endless sorrow and grievance. Her tears drifted on the wind, dripping onto Xiaoqing's face like raindrops falling from the sky.

Xiaoqing felt the chill on her face and gently wiped it away. Seeing the tears on her hand, her heart ached and tears began to flow involuntarily. She knew these were her mother's tears, expressing her longing and concern for her.

"Please take care of yourself."
