The mist was like muslin, and the Red Sea was boiling.
Lu Qiji stood in the bamboo thicket in the backyard, looking at the endless red tide in the distance and remained silent for a long time.
Nujiang was not angry, but there was an indescribable solemnity.
Lu Qiji thought to herself, just like her mood at this moment.
The illusion of water had completely collapsed. After they came out, Teacher Yang wanted to enter the illusion to look for them, but the door of the illusion was closed, and she did not know when it would open again.
Li Muyang was dead!
Before she could do anything, Li Muyang was dead.
In her heart, Li Muyang was not someone who could not die. But, he would certainly die in her hands.
If he really inherited the will of the black dragon and wanted to destroy the human race. Then she must have a battle of life and death with him.
However, how could Li Muyang die so easily?
Lu Qiji felt that she was not ready.
The divine continent was vast, the mountains and rivers were magnificent, but everything had nothing to do with her.
The past was nothing, everything was over.
"Sigh."
Lu Qiji sighed softly, then turned and walked out of the house.
Creak!
The courtyard door was pushed open.
Clad in a black outfit, Chu Xun stood at the door, looking at Lu Qiji and asked aloud: "Qiji, you're going out?"
"Home." Lu Qiji said with an expressionless face.
Although it was a spur of the moment idea, but deep in her heart she felt incomparably firm.
She came here for Li Muyang, and Starry Sky had no meaning to her.
Now that Li Muyang was not here, she would also leave. There was no reason for her to exist here.
Even what did the divine continent have to do with her?
"Go home?" Chu Xun raised his eyebrows, asking aloud: "Which home?"
"Tiandu."
Chu Xun said anxiously: "You want to give up your studies, give up Starry Sky?"
"Give up." Lu Qiji thoughtfully looked at Chu Xun. "I don't have it, how can I give it up?"
"Don't have it?" Chu Xun's face darkened as he questioned: "You and us are students of Starry Sky, studying in Starry Sky, what do you mean you don't have it? Starry Sky is willing to recruit you, accept you as a talent, you are already a person of Starry Sky. You and Starry Sky are one, and now you want to separate it? Has the starry sky ever mistreated you? "
Lu Qiji thoughtfully looked at Chu Xun, asking softly: "What do you want to say?"
"You left because of Li Muyang?" Chu Xun knew Lu Qiji's temperament, being overly sentimental would only make him annoyed, so he might as well say it directly. "Because Li Muyang is dead, you no longer have any nostalgia for the Starry Sky and would rather drop out of school and return home. Is that right?"
Lu Qiji thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
She did drop out of school because of Li Muyang, so there was nothing to hide. She didn't like to hide it either.
Chu Xun's expression became even more unsightly. His handsome snow-white skin was smeared with a layer of intense flames.
Although he knew what he was thinking was the truth, but when Lu Qiji personally said it, it was still like an arrow piercing his heart, making him extremely sad.
Originally, he thought that with Li Muyang dead, their relationship would be more harmonious. Without the existence of Li Muyang, the 'third party', they could return to the state they were in when they were in Starry Sky.
He really couldn't understand why a good girl, after seeing Li Muyang, would become like this?
To say it was love, but it was not. Because Chu Xun had seen Lu Qiji's murderous intent towards Li Muyang several times. Based on his understanding of Lu Qiji, he knew that she was hostile towards Li Muyang.
But to say it was hate, it was not entirely correct. She had repeatedly protected Li Muyang, and now that Li Muyang was dead, she was heartbroken and gave up everything in front of her to return to Tiandu.
"Have you ever thought about how I feel?" Chu Xun looked at Lu Qiji with blazing eyes, his voice low and sorrowful: "You said you want to go to West Wind, so I wanted to go to West Wind. You said you want to come to Starry Sky, so I tried every possible way to come to Starry Sky. We came for you, but in the end, you … you abandoned us and left? We have known each other for many years. Our relationship should be extraordinary, but why are you like a different person after you came to Starry Sky? "
Lu Qiji stared at Chu Xun's wounded expression, pondering for a long time without saying a word.
"Li Muyang is dead. Whether we want to accept it or not, we have to face this reality. The illusion has collapsed, Li Muyang is dead, and he can't come back. We must continue to walk forward bravely. We still have a lot of things to do, a lot of ideals have not been completed. The Great Wilderness of the Divine continent, the customs of the nine countries, we said we will experience them one by one. Don't tell me you want to give up halfway now? "
Lu Qiji's eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were cold as she said aloud: "I came here because of my business, you came here because of your business. Everyone should be responsible for their own choices, not let others be responsible for their own choices. "
After a pause, she continued: "I know Li Muyang is dead, and I never thought he would come back. I just think Starry Sky is boring and want to leave. "
She looked up at Chu Xun and said: "I wish you success in your studies."
With that, she lightly lifted her foot, her white robe fluttering in the wind, and stepped past Chu Xun.
Chu Xun's face was as cold as ice, his expression changing several times, as he angrily shouted: "Lu Qiji — —"
Lu Qiji stopped, but did not turn around.
"Why are you so cruel?"
"Cruel?" Lu Qiji chewed on the word, before she said softly: "I don't feel it."
"— —"
The fragrance gradually faded away, the beauty had gone far away.

At the top of the cliff, in the heart of the sea of clouds.
A grey-robed old man was sitting on a boulder, holding a thin bamboo pole in his hand.
The bamboo pole was as thick as a little finger, several feet long, and there were fine leaves on the bamboo pole. It seemed that the old man casually broke it off from the bamboo forest.
The bamboo pole was slightly stretched forward, and the grey-robed old man was resting with his eyes closed.
Below the bamboo pole was a bottomless cliff, and at the bottom of the cliff was Nujiang.
There was no fishing line on the bamboo pole, and there was no hook or bait.
The old man had a leisurely and contented look on his face, quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Yang Xiaohu sprinted over, seeing the old man's appearance, he was infuriated, bowed from afar, and said aloud: "Dean — —"
"Shh." The old man made a shushing gesture, whispering: "Don't scare away my fish."
"Dean." Yang Xiaohu cast a glance down at the bottom of Nujiang, saying angrily: "Even if you sit here for a hundred years or a thousand years, you won't be able to catch a fish. Although the great sage Jiang Shang used a straight hook to fish, but it was nothing more than a trick. What he caught was not fish, but people's hearts. Dean also wants to catch people's hearts? "
The old man shook his head. "No, I'm here to fish."
"You're just a small bamboo pole, there's no fishing line, hook or bait, how would there be fish biting?" Yang Xiaohu shamelessly ran over to the old man's side and sat down, a worried look on his face: "Dean, help me."
"Haven't we talked about this issue before?" The Dean's eyes were fixed on the fishing rod, as if a fish would take the bait at any time. "Everyone has their own fortune, as Kong Li said, that Li Muyang does not look like he will die young, he must still be living in a place that we don't know about. Don't worry, watch me fish. "
"That Kong Li spread lies to confuse people, he talks in a strange and mysterious way. He said that Li Muyang does not look like he will die young, I wanted to bet with him, why would he refuse? He said that Li Muyang is still alive, but I don't know where Li Muyang has gone — — The illusion has collapsed, the door is closed. Whether it can be opened or not is unknown. " The more Yang Xiaohu spoke, the more anxious he became, tears welling up in his eyes. "Dean, Li Muyang is the best student of my Dragon Slayer department — —"
"Isn't the best Lu Qiji and Qiandu?"
"I mean among the boys." Yang Xiaohu explained. "His power of understanding is extremely high, and he is extremely diligent and eager to learn. Although his strength is not strong enough for the time being, but in time, he will be the leader of the outstanding talents of Starry Sky Academy. Dean, do you not feel sorry that something happened to such a disciple? "
"Sorry?" The grey-robed old man nodded. "It is indeed very regrettable. However, such things happen every year. The Academy has the rules of the Academy, and the illusion also has the rules of the illusion. If he breaks the rules this time, what will happen in the future? Besides, the door of the illusion is closed. Haven't you already tried? If you can't go in, then the few people of Starry Sky Hall can go in? "
"Dean, I mean you should go in person — —" Yang Xiaohu said awkwardly. "The door of the illusion is closed, others may not be able to go in. But Dean can. How can a dangerous place in the world trap Dean? "
"You bookworm." The grey-robed old man thundered. "Don't you see I'm busy."
"Dean — —" Yang Xiaohu clenched his teeth, plopped to his knees beside the old man, and said with an agitated expression, "For the sake of my Starry Sky students, you should go. If you don't agree to my request, I will kneel here today and not get up. "
The grey-robed old man cast a glance at Yang Xiaohu. "You like to kneel?"
"I just — —"
"Then kneel." The old man said. "I have nothing to do anyway, it's good to have an idiot to amuse me."
"— —"
Seeing that the Dean was really unmoved, Yang Xiaohu was extremely upset. "Dean, in your heart, is every student just a number? From 107 to 106, or from 106 to 100, or less — — that's all. "
The smile on the grey-robed old man's face faded, looking at a green leaf on the bamboo pole, he said softly, "I don't think so."
Yang Xiaohu was overjoyed. "Then why doesn't Dean — —"
"But that's the truth."
"— —"
"One dead, that's a life. More people die, that's a number. Since ancient times, has there ever been a change? "
