NOVEL WEB Chapter 763: Departure, Ancient Secrets?
Luo Chen smiled and replied, "Perhaps, we might live as carefree as these children, but at the same time, we wouldn't have the power to protect them."
Qing Shuang nodded, a hint of contemplation in her eyes, "Yes, every life has its sacrifices and responsibilities. By choosing the path of cultivation, we must take on the mission to protect the world."
At that moment, a child ran over and handed a bunch of wildflowers to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang: "Thank you, big brother, big sister, you made our village safe."
Luo Chen accepted the flowers, smiling as he patted the child's head, "No need to thank us, it's what we should do."
Qing Shuang watched the child run off, warmth surging in her heart, "Luo Chen, although we still have many things to do, at this moment, I feel very happy."
Luo Chen turned to look at Qing Shuang, his eyes full of tenderness, "Yes, Qing Shuang, as long as we're together, we can overcome any difficulties."
As night fell, the village gradually quieted down.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sat by the campfire, continuing to discuss future plans.
They knew that although the threat of the Shadow Sect had been eliminated, new challenges and adventures awaited them.
"Tomorrow, we will continue to explore the surrounding areas to ensure there are no overlooked dangers," said Luo Chen.
Qing Shuang nodded in agreement, "At the same time, we also need to strengthen our connections with nearby towns and establish an intelligence network so we can receive information more quickly."
Luo Chen smiled at Qing Shuang, "You always have such foresight."
Qing Shuang smiled lightly, "That's because you're by my side, Luo Chen, together, we can face any challenge."
They continued talking until late into the night.
The light of the campfire danced on their faces, casting a determined yet warm glow.
They knew the road ahead was long, but they also believed that as long as they walked hand in hand, nothing was impossible.
In the peace of the village, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a momentary tranquility.
But deep down, they never forgot their mission.
They knew that as long as evil existed in the world, they had to stand up and protect those in need.
As the night deepened, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually drifted into sleep.
Their dreams were filled with hope and light, indicating that their future journey would be full of infinite possibilities.
The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight fell on the village, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were already prepared for their new expedition.
They bid farewell to the villagers, embarking on a new journey with longing for the future and determination.
Their steps were firm and strong, filled with a persistent pursuit of justice.
No matter how difficult the road ahead, they would forge ahead, because they knew it was their destiny as cultivators, and it was also the truest wish deep in their hearts.
...
After leaving.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked along the main road by themselves.
Although there were many small paths in some places.
Ultimately, the main road was easier to walk; the road conditions were much better.
"Where to next?"
Qing Shuang suddenly looked up, softly inquiring Luo Chen beside her.
Suddenly leaving like this.
She genuinely felt a bit empty inside.
A bit of, not quite accustomed to it.
Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Let's find a workshop; we can replenish some necessities and gather some information, as our understanding of this area is not deep enough."
Qing Shuang nodded, knowing Luo Chen's suggestions are always well-thought-out.
She glanced around, seeing the morning mist lingering, the distant mountains becoming clearer under the dawn light.
She softly said, "The scenery here is truly beautiful, as if every place is filled with vitality."
Luo Chen smiled in response, "Yes, nature is always so generous, giving us endless beauty. However, we must not be deceived by this beauty and forget our mission."
The two continued forward, embarking on the journey to the workshop.
Along the way, they passed through lush forests, crystal-clear streams, and small villages dotting the fields.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang occasionally stopped to help villagers solve small problems or interact with them to understand the local situation.
By a small creek, they encountered an old fisherman.
The old fisherman was sitting by the bank, mending his fishing net.
Luo Chen approached, politely greeting, "Old man, are you mending your fishing net?"
The old fisherman looked up, revealing a kind smile, "Yes, young man, this fishing net is my livelihood. I must take good care of it."
Qing Shuang curiously asked, "Do you catch fish every day?"
The old fisherman nodded, "Most of the time I can, but lately it's strange; the fish seem to be hiding, and I can't catch much."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of alertness.
Luo Chen softly asked, "Old man, have you noticed anything unusual? Like the appearance of strangers or strange noises?"
The old fisherman thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Come to think of it, a couple of nights ago, I did hear some strange sounds, like metal clashing, but I'm not sure."
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a knowing look, realizing this might not be a coincidence.
Luo Chen said to the old fisherman, "Thank you, old man, we will keep an eye on the matter."
