The Rebirth of Bai Qi: The Way of Qi

Chapter 71 The Way of Wearing Flowers in One's Hair

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Bai Qi's face, revealing his resolute and unyielding expression.

On the endless road, every step he took was solid and powerful, as if he were gathering the energy between heaven and earth into his body.

An indescribable premonition seemed to permeate the air, causing his heart to churn.

Suddenly, Bai Qi felt the atmosphere around him change abruptly, as if an invisible force was tearing the air currents apart.

In that instant, he clearly sensed an unusual aura, drifting in from the horizon, both strange and familiar, that aura seemed to stir up a deep-seated resonance within him.

Bai Qi's expression hardened, and he looked up. The clouds slowly rolled in, revealing a clear, pristine sky.

Beneath the azure sky, two graceful figures descended like celestial maidens, arriving with ethereal grace.

The first woman was heroic and spirited, wearing a white light armor, with a heroic air between her brows; that was Han Fu.

The second was Situ Yan, who had a beautiful face, a graceful figure, and long, flowing black hair.

The two women approached gracefully, their faces smiling yet solemn.

The two women embody both heroism and gentleness, and in this ever-changing world, they are like another steadfast color etched in Bai Qi's memory.

"General Bai, it's been a long time. You're still as dashing as ever." Han Fu spoke first, her voice clear and melodious as heavenly music, exuding the competence of a soldier and extraordinary chivalry.

Situ Yan didn't say a word, but just smiled gently. That smile was not only a warm current of friendship, but also a hidden yet comforting power. She hummed softly, as if connecting the whole world together.

"General Han, Miss Situ, I am truly unworthy of your presence."

Bai Qi's heart was stirred, but a faint smile remained on his face. He felt a warmth in his heart at the arrival of his two old friends.

“We’ve brought something that you might be interested in,” Han Fu said sharply. She pulled a hairpin adorned with gold thread from her waist. The hairpin shimmered in the sunlight, and its patterns seemed to subtly reveal a mystery.

Situ Yan explained, "This is a hairpin flower, which is the result of our experience in the new realm of Qi Refining. It is intended to convey the message of the righteous path."

May this serve as a thread, uniting us in a shared commitment to upholding justice.

Bai Qi gazed at the hairpin adorned with flowers, a thought stirring within him. He knew this was no ordinary matter; it must hold profound significance.

Meeting their gazes, he sensed an undeniable power within the flower, seemingly conveying a determination to overcome difficulties through every golden thread.

Han Fu recounted, "This hairpin is not only a clever idea in the planning of the righteous, but also an opportunity forged by our collaboration with many like-minded people."

Now that we face a formidable enemy, only by working together in unity can we turn the tide.

Bai Qi carefully examined the hairpin and couldn't help but feel admiration. He knew that it was made by them using their own knowledge and the combined efforts of countless like-minded people, and that it was not only hidden on the surface but also had a profound meaning.

This sentiment moved him deeply, and he nodded slightly to acknowledge and accept this power.

Upon seeing this, Situ Yan took out an old scroll from her bosom. The scroll cover was inlaid with ancient seal script, and its luster was faint, making it quite mysterious.

She handed the scroll to Bai Qi and said solemnly, "This scroll was left by the ancients and contains a lot of wisdom about the way of refining Qi. I hope to use it as a guide for this encounter and to help General Bai."

Her voice was soft, yet it was like a willow branch brushing against water, shimmering in the sunlight. Bai Qi took the scroll, and as his fingers touched the surface, an ancient aura wafted towards him, like a seed buried deep in the soil, waiting for its time to sprout.

Bai Qi's heart stirred slightly, as if he had grasped something. He quickly browsed the scroll, and the few unsolved mysteries in his mind gradually came to light.

Bai Qi knew that this was the opportunity and assistance they had brought. Defeating the enemy depended not only on weapons, but also on wisdom and teamwork.

Based on this, he sketched out a grand blueprint in his mind, as if the Qi in his hand could trickle into a river, transforming into an invisible spider web to dissolve the enemy into nothingness.

"Thank you very much," Bai Qi said gratefully, his eyes shining brightly, his words conveying a deep respect that flowed gently into this precious friendship like a babbling brook.

Han Fu and Situ Yan nodded, looked at each other, and their eyes revealed determination. They seemed to know that only by doing their best to support Bai Qi could they see the light at the end of the tunnel in this chaotic world.

Just as their thoughts were aligned, the surroundings suddenly changed. The illusory images around them became turbulent, and several uninvited guests appeared in the sky.

The figures that were suddenly revealed were Wei Wuji and his trusted confidants who followed him.

Wei Wuji was still dressed in a black robe, his eyes piercing, carrying an undeniable coldness.

Beside him were two unfamiliar figures. One was a man with a resolute face, a tall stature, and eyes that gleamed with an untamed light. He also had two imposing beast ornaments hanging from his waist. His name was Zhang Xing.

The other was thin, with a delicate face and a calculating look on his face; his name was Xu Qi.

Both men were Wei Wuji's confidants and were also unruly figures among the heroes of various countries.

Wei Wuji's smile was not visible at this moment, but his questioning attitude was clear and obvious, even without being explicitly stated.

He slightly raised his hand, signaling his attendants Zhang Xing and Xu Qi to stop, his gaze fixed on Bai Qi, as if trying to probe the depths hidden in his eyes.

Bai Qi remained calm, quietly observing Wei Wuji's hostile demeanor.

Long-standing grudges have now manifested as a confrontation in reality, an inevitable test of fate.

Suddenly, a tense atmosphere erupted in the four-person room, making the atmosphere seem unable to withstand the heavy pressure any longer.

It was as if a sharp sword was hanging over his head, waiting for him to be executed.

However, Han Fu suddenly stepped forward, standing firmly in front of Bai Qi, her resolute gaze revealing an undeniable conviction: "Wei Wuji, today is different from the past. We have justice in our hearts, so why should we fear your challenge!"

Wei Wuji was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't expected this formidable female general to be so decisive and resolute.

His face was gloomy, and he was filled with unease, as if he were pondering the deeper meaning behind Han Fu and Situ Yan's appearance.

The situation was complex and uncertain, but Wei Wuji knew that his purpose was not to act impulsively, so he hesitated to answer and simply observed quietly.

Situ Yan stepped forward, approached Bai Qi, and whispered, "Do not act rashly. It is not advisable to confront him directly at this time."

The forces at play here cannot be resolved by force alone.

Bai Dian nodded to show his understanding. Although he was unwilling, he knew that he should remain steadfast and make far-reaching plans.

Opportunities in this strategic planning should not be squandered hastily; only a prudent approach is the best long-term strategy.

After another moment, Wei Wuji regained his usual confidence, slightly turning the wine he always carried in his hand, preparing to slowly force out the other party's reaction.

He took a few small steps and slowly approached.

Just as he was about to speak again, a sudden roar erupted from the sky, as if the heavens were being torn apart, causing the earth to tremble. The surrounding scenery became shrouded in mystery, as if it were trying to drive away all the darkness in the world.

Bai Qi's heart suddenly stirred, his eyes blazing. Looking up, he was astonished to see a beam of light descending from the sky, seemingly guiding everyone's gaze and traversing the flow of time through countless ages, reaching the place of all longing.

"The will of Heaven cannot be defied. Since there is such a call from the heavens, we should follow it."

Situ Yan and Han Fu spoke in unison, their eyes filled with delight.

Bai Qi gleaned some kind of revelation from the light that descended from the sky, and was deeply moved.

He immediately resolved to use the power of Qi Shadow to resolve the predicament that was not just in front of him, and his steps were extremely firm.

Wei Wuji frowned slightly, realizing that this operation had failed, and he couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.

Bai Qi seemed to know everything, yet remained unmoved.

Bai Qi, carrying the hairpin and the trust of his old friend, walked up to Wei Wuji, his voice filled with a profound sense of ancient wisdom: "Let each of us live in peace and follow the righteous path, and this tragedy will never be repeated."

Wei Wuji's expression changed slightly, and he remained silent. Xu Qi and Zhang Xing had also made their own assessments and decided to hold back for the time being.

Thus, everyone knew that a confrontation was no longer possible at this moment. With an agreement made, they could leave without a care in the world, their emotions moving them to the ends of the earth. This moment was exceptionally glorious.

Though the smoke had cleared and the rain had ceased, their departure was still radiant. Bai Qi understood even more clearly the symbiotic relationship between them, recognizing that the fragmented thoughts here meant they could share the heavy burden and thus support the world.

Just as each side has paused, this standoff has reached an irreversible point.

This is Bai Qi's understanding of the importance of cooperation and collaboration, containing an indispensable principle.

Each person's beliefs are interwoven like the golden thread on a hairpin, binding their destinies together once again.
