"Then how long?" Xu Qianqian bit her lip and asked.
"Don't worry, it won't be long." Mo Wen shrugged his shoulders.
"One day?"
Xu Qianqian tentatively raised a fair and tender finger, blinking her big eyes as she looked at Mo Wen.
"…"
Mo Wen's mouth twitched, and he was too lazy to answer. One day? There wasn't even enough time to return to the capital from Changbai Mountain.
"Then two days?"
Xu Qianqian stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Mo Wen, looking as though she was asking for his opinion.
"…"
"Then three days? I can't do more than that. "
"…"
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it that you agree?" Xu Qianqian said with a smile.
"You must be dreaming!"
Mo Wen rolled his eyes. Minding his own business, he found a rock and sat down. He was considering whether he should continue on his journey in the middle of the night or rest for the night.
"Then how many days do you say?"
Xu Qianqian kept circling around Mo Wen, insisting on an answer before she could be at ease.
"It depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I'll go back earlier. If I'm in a bad mood, one or two years is also possible." Mo Wen shrugged his shoulders and said.
When Xu Qianqian heard this, her little face immediately collapsed. One or two years? Her father would probably be in the grave by then. Mo Wen was just cheating her.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Qianqian didn't say anything. Could it be that she gave in so easily? It shouldn't be.
Mo Wen looked over curiously, only to realize that Xu Qianqian was already weeping. Her tears were rolling down her cheeks, and she looked at Mo Wen with a pitiful look.
"Don't cry. We're still good friends."
Mo Wen's mouth twitched and he said speechlessly.
What's wrong with women nowadays? They all know how to act pitiful and attack people with tears. Who taught them that? If they don't learn from the good, they learn from the bad.
"Seven days. I'll treat your old man in seven days. How about that?"
Mo Wen said helplessly. He didn't want to face a pitiful face all day long. Acting cute … those who didn't know would think that he had met Lin Daiyu.
"Seven days it is then. You have to keep your word. You can't go back on it."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian grabbed Mo Wen's sleeve excitedly to confirm the matter. Her small face revealed a bright smile, but there were still tear stains on her face and tears on her eyelashes …
Mo Wen finally understood why it was said that women were born to be actors. If Xu Qianqian went to the entertainment industry, she would probably win an Oscar.
"Take a break tonight. I'll send you back tomorrow morning."
Mo Wen looked askance at Xu Qianqian. He got up and took out a simple tent from his backpack to set it up.
It didn't matter to him whether he rested or not, but Xu Qianqian was a woman. After working hard for a day, she definitely couldn't hurry on with their journey, so he wasn't in a hurry to urge her to continue.
With Mo Wen's promise, Xu Qianqian's mood immediately improved. She proactively set up her own tent. She was a young mistress, so she was not sloppy when it came to setting up a tent. After a while, she got into the tent.
The next morning, the sun slowly shone on the ground, illuminating the forest with a golden hue.
Mo Wen didn't sleep at night. He spent the entire night meditating and practicing. To him, sleeping once every few days was enough to replenish his energy. Diligence was the foundation for him to become a strong person. In terms of practicing, he never slacked off every day.
After completing the last great circulation, he slowly exhaled a mouthful of murky Qi, got up and walked out of the tent.
He found that Xu Qianqian had woken up early and was fiddling with something on the grass.
Mo Wen walked over to take a look. He found a white handkerchief filled with food. Although it was all packaged food, it was still a sumptuous meal.
"Not bad. Breakfast is quite sumptuous."
Mo Wen squatted down with a smile. He picked up a piece of bread and ate it without any reservations.
"Hmm, the bread is a little dry. The fire is too strong, so it's not soft enough …" Mo Wen commented as he ate.
"Why are you eating so much when it's not tasty? Who asked you to eat? Go eat your own."
Xu Qianqian glared at Mo Wen and slapped away his hand that was reaching for another piece of bread. It was obviously not tasty, but he still ate so much. She didn't see him eat less.
…
After breakfast, Mo Wen and Xu Qianqian started their journey.
He first sent Xu Qianqian back to the side of her bodyguards. He couldn't just leave her alone on the mountain top.
As for finding the Flame Flower, he would go alone when the time came. Naturally, he wouldn't let a woman follow him.
"Hey, don't you know how to leap onto roofs and vault over walls? Bring me along and fly for a while. "
Xu Qianqian held a long green foxtail grass in her hand and swung it around. Occasionally, she would jump on the mountain path.
"Carry you? Leap onto roofs and vault over walls? "Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and said.
"It's a special reason. It's fine to let you carry me for a while," Xu Qianqian said magnanimously.
With her leg strength, it would take her at least a day to walk to the side of those bodyguards.
She knew that Mo Wen probably had something else to do, so she didn't want to waste his time. Last night, she had experienced it. Mo Wen carried her and performed that Qinggong. In a short while, he could run a long distance. Even a car couldn't compare.
"I can carry you, but what if you take advantage of me?"
"How did I take advantage of you?" Xu Qianqian raised her eyebrows.
"Men and women shouldn't touch each other. That's what you said. You want me to carry you? What's wrong with that? It's fine if my body is at a disadvantage, but my mind will be affected too. "
"…"
"You let me carry you just because you don't want to walk. I'm at a disadvantage, right? Shouldn't you compensate me a little?"
"…"
"Of course, if you insist on me carrying you, I won't be able to reject you. But you should at least give me some compensation, right?"
…
In the evening, as the sun was setting, the two of them walked back to the small forest.
It took him a good half a day to complete the task. Because Xu Qianqian insisted on walking on her own, she would rather die than let Mo Wen carry her …
Mo Wen followed behind Xu Qianqian gloomily, walking slowly on the mountain path. He silently scolded himself for his cheap mouth. If he had known earlier, he would have carried Xu Qianqian and used Qinggong to fly back.
"Alright, my task is completed. You better get lost quickly."
After sending Xu Qianqian back to the small forest, Mo Wen waved his hand, indicating for Xu Qianqian to walk back on her own. Not far away was the place where her bodyguards had set up their tents. With the protection of those bodyguards, it shouldn't be a problem to escort her out of Changbai Mountain.
"Wait."
Seeing that Mo Wen couldn't wait to turn around and leave, Xu Qianqian immediately grabbed him.
"What else do you want?" Mo Wen rolled his eyes and asked.
"Give me your mobile number."
Xu Qianqian glared at Mo Wen and said. Although she had given Mo Wen her contact information on the way, Mo Wen had never given her his contact information. What if she couldn't find him when the time came?
"Troublesome."
Mo Wen was thinking whether he should be like others and get a high-end name card in the future. He would give one to everyone he met so that others wouldn't have to ask about it.
…
White Rock Peak was located in the depths of the Changbai Mountain range. It was more than four thousand meters above sea level and was one of the rare peaks in the Changbai Mountain range. On the peak of the mountain, there was snow all year round and many cedar trees grew there.
Mo Wen followed the markings on the map and searched for a long time before he found White Rock Peak. Compared to the peak where the Blood Mushroom grew, White Rock Peak was the real high-end.
"Who are you?"
Mo Wen had just walked to the foot of White Rock Peak when two people stopped him. Their voices were stern and somewhat unfriendly.
"I am a person who is going up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs. I wonder why you are blocking my way?"
Mo Wen saluted with his fists and looked curiously at the two burly men in front of him.
The two of them were wearing the same attire. Moreover, they didn't look like people from the outside world. Instead, they looked like ancient people who were hidden in the deep mountains and forests.
From their appearance, he could be sure that the two people in front of him were the same type of people as the five disciples he had met previously.
Moreover, there were Inner Qi waves in their bodies. Obviously, they were ancient martial arts practitioners.
It was very likely that they were from one of the ancient martial arts sects in the Changbai Mountain range. Mo Wen didn't know how many ancient martial arts sects there were in the Changbai Mountain range, but he was sure that there were many. They were far more prosperous than the Yuntai Mountain where the Gu Clan Fort was located.
"Gathering medicinal herbs in the mountain? How dare you. Do you think that the medicinal herbs on this mountain can be picked as you wish? "
One of the men shouted angrily and glared at Mo Wen. If Mo Wen hadn't behaved himself, he would probably have hit him.
"Why can't I gather medicinal herbs?"
Mo Wen curled his lips and asked. As expected, that stalk of Flame Flower wouldn't be so easy to obtain.
If there really was a Flame Flower on White Rock Peak, then with the current situation, it would have been discovered long ago and people would have been sent to guard it.
Since the old man in black knew that there was a Flame Flower on White Rock Peak, then he definitely knew that the Flame Flower had already been guarded.
What a good way to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Mo Wen smiled playfully. At this moment, he immediately understood that the old man in black had played a good trick before he died.
Even if he knew it was a trap, once others knew the value of the Flame Flower, they would definitely not give it up easily. Mo Wen was like that now.
It could only be said that the old man in black's last trick was very clever.
"This is the territory of the Changtian Sect. It's not a place that you can step foot in. Leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
The burly man only thought that Mo Wen was a normal person gathering medicinal herbs in the Changbai Mountain, so he planned to chase him away. After all, in the Changbai Mountain, there were too many people gathering medicinal herbs. It was normal that ordinary people didn't know that there were some forbidden places that they couldn't go.
"I see."
Upon hearing that, Mo Wen nodded his head as if he understood. So it was the trick of occupying the mountain to be the king. That Changtian Sect seemed to be very powerful, monopolizing a mountain peak. People who didn't have a bit of ability wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
He saluted the two burly men with his fists, then turned around and walked down the mountain, looking like he was preparing to leave.
Only when Mo Wen had walked far away did the two burly men look at each other. They slowly hid in the forest and continued to guard the mountain path.
After Mo Wen walked down the mountain, he turned a corner and arrived in front of a precipitous cliff.
Since he couldn't walk up the mountain path, he would climb up the cliff. It was such a big mountain, so how could every place be heavily guarded? (To be continued.)
