"Now that the Quanzhen Heart Sutra is in hand, the two of you can focus on cultivation. Mochou, after you have succeeded, go to the headquarters of the Power Sect; I have a task for you." Zhao Hao said.
"Are you leaving?" Li Mochou detected the hint of farewell in Zhao Hao's words.
"Since the matters here have been resolved, it is time for me to leave. Although the Ancient Tomb is a good place, it is not where I belong." Zhao Hao said.
Back then, Li Mochou could not bear the loneliness of the Ancient Tomb, and now Zhao Hao felt the same way.
Even with the company of the beautiful Xiaolongnü, Zhao Hao would not stay here for long.
He had too many concerns outside.
And the world of the Ancient Tomb was too small.
Zhao Hao was not Yang Guo.
"The Quanzhen Sect hasn't been completely dealt with yet, right?" Li Mochou said.
"It's not the right time yet. Besides, the Quanzhen Sect is not worth my full attention; someone will naturally take action." Zhao Hao's tone was light and carefree, and Li Mochou realized that Zhao Hao represented more than just himself.
"I'll take Yang Guo with me; it's inconvenient for him to stay in the Ancient Tomb." Zhao Hao said.
He had no intention of letting Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü have another teacher-student romance.
Just because of Xiaolongnü's appearance, Zhao Hao would not allow anyone to have designs on her.
Xiaolongnü nodded and said, "That's fine. The Ancient Tomb Sect does not accept men, so keeping him here is useless. If you don't take him in, I'll send him back to the Quanzhen Sect."
Clearly, Xiaolongnü had no interest in Yang Guo at all.
Looking at the incomparably beautiful Xiaolongnü before him, Zhao Hao suddenly asked, "Miss Long, do you have any family or relatives?"
"I have been in the Ancient Tomb since I can remember, so I really don't know." Xiaolongnü said.
"I know someone who looks very similar to Miss Long." Zhao Hao's gaze was fixed on Xiaolongnü.
Xiaolongnü showed no signs of discomfort or curiosity, and said calmly, "In this vast world, anything is possible. It's not unusual for people to look similar."
A faint smile appeared on Zhao Hao's lips. "For ordinary people, it's not unusual. But for someone as beautiful as Miss Long, the appearance of another identical person would make even the heavens envious."
Xiaolongnü frowned slightly but said nothing. Li Mochou, however, blurted out, "I think the two of you look quite similar."
As soon as the words were out, Li Mochou regretted them.
But once spoken, words cannot be taken back.
Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said, "I think so too. Perhaps Miss Long and I are family."
Xiaolongnü nodded calmly, "It's possible, but it doesn't mean much to me."
"Next time we meet, I'll introduce my friend to Miss Long." Zhao Hao smiled and left the Living Dead Tomb with Yang Guo.
Although this place was a paradise, it was ultimately a huge prison.
Zhao Hao's future lay in the endless starry sky.
He could not stay here.
Moreover, in a chaotic world, where was there a true paradise?
Zhao Hao's figure gradually disappeared, but Xiaolongnü remained motionless, her eyes fixed on the direction where Zhao Hao had vanished.
"Did he sense your identity?" Li Mochou probed.
"That's not important." Xiaolongnü said calmly.
Li Mochou was puzzled.
"You don't need to know about the matters between him and me." Xiaolongnü said, no longer explaining.
"Let's go." Xiaolongnü said.
"Aren't you staying here to cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra?" Li Mochou asked anxiously.
"Do you think I would value the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra?" Xiaolongnü countered.
Li Mochou was speechless.
Although she did not yet know this woman's true identity, Li Mochou could sense that Xiaolongnü was extraordinary.
The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra was a priceless treasure to her, but to Xiaolongnü, it was just an ordinary item.
Not worth the time and effort.
But Li Mochou was not a foolish woman. She quickly thought of a way to persuade Xiaolongnü.
"Zhao Hao asked me to cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra before doing tasks for him. But without your help, I can't cultivate it alone." Li Mochou said.
Although she did not yet know the relationship between this woman and Zhao Hao, Li Mochou could see that this woman cared about Zhao Hao's opinion.
Sure enough, upon hearing Zhao Hao's name, Xiaolongnü's brows furrowed slightly.
After a moment, Xiaolongnü said calmly, "Fine, the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique is also a great skill. Follow me, and after you have learned it, you can go and help him."
"Where are we going?" Li Mochou asked.
"Follow me, and you'll know. But I warn you, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask. If you really offend me, even Zhao Hao won't lift a finger to protect you. Do you believe me?" Xiaolongnü's voice was still cold, but Li Mochou could sense the unyielding authority in her words.
This was the aura of someone who had long been in a position of power, an aura Li Mochou had also sensed from Zhao Hao.
Li Mochou could tell that Xiaolongnü was not joking; she was stating a fact seriously.
And she had the ability to do it.
When had such a powerful woman appeared in the world?
"As long as I can cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, I don't care about anything else." Li Mochou declared.
She had agreed to work for Zhao Hao not only because of his and this woman's deep and mysterious backgrounds, but also because of the Ancient Tomb Sect's legacy.
Obtaining the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra was the most important thing for Li Mochou.
The rest could be negotiated. After all, Li Mochou was just a woman.
She had no interest in dominating the martial world. The Power Sect was rising in power, and Li Mochou did not mind joining it.
Killing people was still killing people, but now the targets were Mongols.
For the "Crimson Flame Fairy," killing was never a difficult task.
Even if the targets were Mongols.
Moreover, by relying on Zhao Hao, Li Mochou was essentially given a license to kill, which was exactly what she wanted.
……
"Brother, where are you taking me?" Yang Guo asked.
Yang Guo did not object to Zhao Hao taking him away from the Zhongnan Mountain.
He had no attachment to the grass and trees on this mountain.
But he was still confused and afraid about his future life.
"To a place where you can become stronger." Zhao Hao said.
The next destination: Xiangyang.
