The Green Emperor glanced at her, smiled, and said softly, "Very beautiful, Master likes it very much."
"Great! I knew Master would like it." She clapped her hands happily and cheered. Without waiting for him to say anything, she turned around and trotted back the way she came, shouting, "Master, I'm going to play with my brother. We have to go to the foot of the mountain and wait for him to come back."
Watching the little girl running away, Emperor Qing retracted his gaze and looked at the black jade hairpin in his hand. He then took off the white jade hairpin on his hair. Looking at the two hairpins, one black and one white, he shook his head, revealing a doting smile, and a low voice came out softly like a whisper.
"This girl, all the gifts she gave were the same."
Thinking that his disciple who had gone through hardships had returned to his side and was growing up by his side in the same way, he felt extremely gratified.
This time, no matter what, he would protect her and would never let her get hurt in the slightest, let alone let her suffer the pain of reincarnation...
At the foot of the mountain, Mu Chen and Mu Yue sat on the steps. Mu Yue hummed a little tune, looking at the winding mountain path, and said, "Brother, should we send a message to ask where big brother is? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"I asked Master when you went to see him just now. He said he was delayed by something, but he is on his way back here. He probably won't be here today. It will probably take at least two or three days." Mu Chen said, playing with a branch in his hand, and asked, "Sister, does Master like the gift you gave him?"
"Yes, the master said the hairpin is very beautiful and he likes it very much!" Yue'er said with a smile. She felt very happy when she thought that the master liked her gift.
"Why did you think of giving me a hairpin?" Mu Chen asked.
"Because the master has everything! I don't know what to give him. As for the elixirs, they will be gone after you eat them. As for other treasures, the master must have more than us. And I saw that the master only had the white jade hairpin on his head, and he wore it for such a long time without changing it, so I thought, does the master have no hairpin? Thinking that he has the white jade one, I bought him a black jade hairpin."
As she spoke, a happy smile spread across her face, and she said, "From now on, Master will have two hairpins, and we can use them alternately."
The brother and sister chatted here, and when it got dark, they walked towards the cave.
After a few days, Haoer finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. Due to his injury, his journey slowed down a bit, but he still made it back within a month. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw his younger brother and sister were already waiting for him there.
“Brother!”
“Brother!”
The two shouted and came quickly to his side. However, once they got closer, they noticed that he seemed to have looked much more haggard and his face was a little pale.
"Brother, are you okay? Why do you look unwell? Are you too tired?" Yue'er asked, coming up to him and looking him up and down. After taking a closer look, worry appeared on her little face.
"Brother, are you injured? Is it serious? I smell blood on you. Where are you hurt? Have you applied medicine?" Yue'er asked nervously.
