Xiaoqing's words sounded like thunder to Bai Suzhen, and she was stunned for a moment: "Qing'er, are you leaving?"
"Yes, maybe leaving is the best choice." Xiaoqing took a deep breath. She looked at Bai Suzhen's eyebrows and eyes infatuatedly, engraved the person in front of her firmly in her heart, and then slowly took two steps back and said softly, "Sister, please take care of yourself. Qing'er is goodbye." After that, she gritted her teeth and turned away resolutely.
Bai Suzhen's breathing stagnated. She wanted to stop Xiaoqing, but she just took two steps forward and stopped abruptly. She frowned and struggled for a moment. Finally, she sighed heavily and stared at Xiaoqing's gradually moving back, letting her go. She only said silently in her heart, Qing'er, I'm sorry, I can't give you a promise before I figure out my feelings. Please... forgive me.
"Hey, isn't that the girl who saved us last time?"
"Yes, it's her. My sister is over there too, let's go over there quickly."
Bai Feng and her five companions were originally playing in the mountains, but they saw Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen from afar. They recognized Xiao Qing as the benefactor who helped them that day, and their sister was also there. They were overjoyed and rushed forward. Unexpectedly, when they got close, they saw the green-clothed woman who helped the five of them turned around and ran away. Bai Feng shouted anxiously: "Hey, young lady, please wait a moment--"
Unfortunately, Xiaoqing had already gone far away and she didn't hear her call at all.
"Bai Feng?" Bai Suzhen looked at Bai Feng and the other four in surprise. Her eyes swept over them one by one: "Why are you five here?"
"This is Qingcheng Mountain, sister. Of course we are here." Bai Feng frowned, looked at the direction where Xiaoqing left, and stomped her feet in disappointment: "Oh, really, we should have been faster. Now we have no chance to thank her." She complained a few times, and when she turned around, she saw Bai Suzhen lowering her eyes and muttering, "Qingcheng Mountain?... We are actually in Qingcheng Mountain." Bai Suzhen had been chasing Xiaoqing all the way, but she never thought that she had arrived at Qingcheng Mountain - her own place of practice!
"Sister, why did you let that girl go? Why didn't you keep her?" If sister had kept the woman in green just now, everyone could have thanked her in person. But now it seems that repaying her kindness that day would be quite a hassle.
"What? Do you know Qing'er?" Bai Suzhen felt surprised and puzzled when she heard Bai Feng's words, implying that he knew Xiaoqing.
Bai Feng said, "Sister, that girl just now was the one who helped us five sisters from Wang Daoling last time. If it weren't for her, we would have been humiliated by Wang Daoling that day."
Bai Suzhen looked at the other four people, and they all nodded: "Sister, Bai Feng is right, the girl just now was indeed the one who escorted us back to Xianyuan Cave that day."
"It turned out that it was Qing'er who saved you!" Bai Suzhen shook her head, feeling mixed emotions. She had gone out for something that day, and when she returned to Xianyuan Cave, she saw that Bai Feng and the other five had revealed their true forms, and were limp on the bed with their bodies limp, but they were protected by barriers. Bai Suzhen was shocked and stunned at the time. After helping the five people recover their bodies, she heard their stories and knew the whole story. She was both scared and relieved. Fortunately, the five people were safe, otherwise she, as a sister, would not know what to do. Bai Feng said that the one who saved them was a woman in green clothes, and Bai Suzhen never thought that the person was Xiaoqing. Some things really have their own arrangements in the dark, and they cannot be avoided. Perhaps her acquaintance with Xiaoqing was also arranged by God, but why did Xiaoqing fall in love with her? Is Xiaoqing her calamity or her fate? Bai Suzhen's thoughts were surging, and she was at a loss for a while, and her heart was in a mess.
Bai Feng and the others saw Bai Suzhen's eyebrows were tightly knitted, her eyes were full of confusion and hesitation, and her expression was a bewilderment they had never seen before, and they could not help but marvel at it. The five of them had always known Bai Suzhen's character. She always acted with her own ideas and rarely worried. It was unique for her to be so bewildered as she was at this moment. The five of them looked at each other, and finally Bai Feng could no longer bear it and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you? What worries you so much?"
Bai Suzhen took a deep breath, collected her thoughts, shook her head, and smiled at the five people: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry." She glanced at the sky and said: "It's getting late, you should go back early."
Bai Feng stepped forward and grabbed Bai Suzhen's sleeve, asking, "Sister, aren't you going back with us?"
Bai Suzhen shook her head and said, "My work is not yet finished. I need to stay in the mortal world for a while."
"Sister, you've been gone for a long time. It's rare for you to come back. Please come back to Xianyuan Cave with us." Everyone came forward and begged, "We all miss you so much, sister. Please stay here for a few days before going back."
Bai Suzhen smiled, looked at the five people, and said reluctantly: "I miss you too. After I understand the situation, I will return to Qingcheng Mountain to find you, okay?"
The five of them nodded reluctantly: "Sister, keep your word and come back soon."
Bai Suzhen nodded, she looked at the five people, and said: "Without my supervision, you five people should concentrate on your practice every day, and don't play too much, do you hear me?"
"Okay, I understand, sister." The five of them nodded.
"Then I'll leave." Bai Suzhen looked at the five people reluctantly, then turned around and disappeared from the spot.
