Chapter 96 Yue Chen
Upon hearing this, the man guessed what Yun Qingyi was going to tell him. He concealed the sorrow in his eyes and asked Yun Qingyi, "Is Senior referring to our sect leader?"
Yun Qingyi nodded gently and replied, "Yes."
"We come from the Star Moon Capital."
"But the thick fog outside Xingyue City is not so easy to deal with, even for you seniors." Although he believed Yun Qingyi's words, the man still held onto a sliver of hope.
He still hoped that what Yun Qingyi was about to tell him was all a lie.
“The fog in Xingyue City has dissipated a few days ago, I guess you didn’t notice,” Yun Qingyi said.
The man was taken aback. He had indeed been busy with some matters concerning the nearby villagers and hadn't paid attention to the situation in Xingyue City these past few days.
The place was neither too close nor too far from Xingyue City. He stood up, wanting to fly there on his sword right now, but he held back and sat back down.
Because he wanted to hear, from the person in front of him, stories about the old sect leader that he didn't know.
Seeing that he had sat back down, Yun Qingyi began to tell him about the events that had happened in Xingyue Capital over the past two days.
The man's lack of emotional reaction after hearing the story surprised Yun Qingyi.
"So that's how it is..." the man murmured.
"You don't seem so sad anymore?" Ruan Qi was also a little surprised and looked at the man. She had clearly felt the man's emotional fluctuations just now.
The man smiled slightly at Ruan Qi and said, "If this is how I leave this world, I will be proud of the old sect leader and my senior brothers."
They did this because they didn't want to see me crying for them. As the old sect leader said, eliminating evil and protecting all living beings is a responsibility we are born with from the moment we become cultivators. We must never do anything to betray the people of the world.
I will fulfill his ideals and carry forward the Flying Star School.
Yun Qingyi smiled slightly after hearing this: "The people of the world are truly fortunate to have people like you."
The Flying Star Sect is an affiliated sect of the Mysterious Misty Sect, not a true branch of the sect. In fact, many things do not need to be handled by the affiliated sect itself; they can simply be reported to the higher-level branch of the sect in the region.
However, the Flying Star Sect did not do that; instead, they diligently fulfilled their duties as cultivators.
They truly took the responsibility of caring for all living beings as their own.
"Oh, right." Yun Qingyi looked at the old furnishings around the Flying Star Sect.
Somewhat puzzled, they asked, "Doesn't the Xuanmiao Sect distribute cultivation supplies and spirit stones to its affiliated sects every year through its branches? How come you're still living in such poverty?"
As far as she knew, Xuanmiao Sect, as the largest sect in Cangling Continent, had always been very generous to its subordinate sects, providing them with more resources than they actually needed.
After all, some of the resources will still be distributed to ordinary people.
Upon hearing this, the man smiled awkwardly: "As a cultivator, one doesn't need to be too particular about one's lodging and food."
He then said seriously, "But the villagers are different. Seniors, don't be fooled by the fact that this place is remote and there aren't many people. There are actually a lot of villagers living nearby."
This place is far from other urban areas, and the only place where goods can be exchanged and bought and sold, Xingyue Capital, was shrouded in thick fog a few years ago.
So, a few years ago, our former sect leader discussed and decided that, apart from the silver distributed by the sect to the people, we would keep only a small portion of the cultivation resources and take the rest to the distant capital to exchange for winter clothing, fruit seeds, and medicinal herbs, etc., especially medicinal herbs, which were in very high demand.
If it were just one or two villages, although we couldn't enter Xingyue City, there would be no need to do this. However, there are more than twenty villages scattered in this area, and the terrain is quite dangerous, so they can't be gathered together.
This forces them to rely on us to exchange goods for them in distant places to survive.
Star Moon Capital… Yun Qingyi pondered for a moment and said to the man, “Star Moon Capital is now an empty city. You can guide them to live in Star Moon Capital. In this way, they can gather together and complete their daily lives through trade with each other.”
The man's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked Yun Qingyi, "Really? Is that possible?"
Yun Qingyi smiled and nodded: "It's fine. It's just empty anyway. Star Moon Capital should be a place full of life, not just a weathered ruin after hundreds of years."
"Okay! I'll make the arrangements this afternoon!"
"Oh, here you go." Yun Qingyi took out several storage rings.
“There are many cultivation resources and storable supplies inside. Take it; it will greatly help you revitalize the Flying Star Sect and relocate the villagers.” Yun Qingyi handed the storage ring to the man.
"And ours too." Seeing Yun Qingyi take out her storage ring, the others also took out theirs and handed them to the man: "We also want to do our part."
Without hesitation, the man readily accepted the rings from everyone: "I am deeply grateful and will always remember your kindness."
Yun Qingyi was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "You also have the surname Yue? What is your relationship with the City Lord of Xingyue?"
The man was also stunned for a moment, not reacting for a while, as if he hadn't said his name yet.
He then said to Yun Qingyi, "The City Lord of Xingyue is my uncle. I'm sorry I forgot to mention my name. My name is Yuechen."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi took out the short sword that the City Lord of Xingyue City had given her before his death from her storage ring and said to Yue Chen, "This was given to me by the City Lord of Xingyue City before his death. Since you are his nephew, this short sword should be returned to its rightful owner."
Yuechen gently stroked the blade of the short sword, and occasionally, a seven-colored light flashed across the somewhat transparent blade.
He immediately recognized that it was made from a special mineral unique to Moon City. This mineral was very rare because it absorbed the essence of the moon and could be used as lighting at night.
When he was a child, he begged his uncle for a long time, but his uncle never gave it to him. However, when he was chosen by the old sect leader to embark on the path of cultivation, his uncle unexpectedly took out a very exquisite pendant made of this mineral.
She awkwardly handed it to him, stubbornly turning her head to the side, her eyes still red, thinking that she would never see her nephew again after he embarked on the path of cultivation.
At that time, Xiao Yuechen also thought that she would never see her uncle, with whom she depended on each other, again, and tears streamed down her face.
Finally, the two of them cried and hugged each other.
The old sect leader simply stroked his beard and chuckled, without saying a word.
Later, the two discovered that they could meet several times a year, and sometimes Yuechen would even use the excuse of training to run to the city lord's mansion to scavenge food and clothing for the villagers near the sect.
He would come and stay for ten days or half a month, and every time he left, the city lord's mansion would be empty. This happened several times a year, to the point that the city lord would keep the gates tightly shut whenever he saw his own nephew.
Recalling this, Yuechen couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. Looking at the short blade in front of him, he pushed it back to Yun Qingyi.
"Since Uncle has given it to you, Senior, please accept it. Without you seniors, we would probably still be in despair regarding the Star Moon Capital."
You ended everything and avenged everyone in Xingyue City. Apart from this short blade, our Yue family really has nothing else to offer.
We hope you won't find this offensive, senior; consider it a token of our gratitude from the Yue family.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi fell silent for a moment, staring at the short blade that occasionally shimmered with iridescent light, before putting it back into her storage ring.
Looking at the sky outside, Yun Qingyi and the others stood up and said to Yue Chen, "We have finished what we needed to do here, and it is time to go back now."
"Take care, you and Ashido."
Yuechen smiled and said, "Our seniors will definitely come and see the different Star Moon Capital."
After escorting Yun Qingyi and the others to the foot of the mountain gate, Yue Chen looked at the flying boat, which had become a black dot, and took out the ornament that the Lord of Xingyue City had given him years ago.
I touched it again and again.
Only now did he fully realize the unbearable pain in his heart. The once bustling path was now deserted, with only him walking there.
Yuechen walked back to the mountain gate step by step, looking at the desolate Feixing Sect, and felt a strange sense of desolation in his heart.
Back in the room where Axi was resting, Yuechen felt a little relieved when she saw the sleeping little figure.
Fortunately, he was not alone.
Although it's a bit shameful for the sect to think this way, it's astonishing that a member of the prestigious Flying Star Sect can't even maintain this level of composure.
But he just couldn't help feeling that he wasn't alone, and that was great.
