Qiao Mu shook her head vigorously, and then shook her head again.

Doya smiled at her again. “When the major birthday of Northern Mo’s queen dowager came around this time, I remembered your connection to the Northern Mo crown prince. I had only thought to have a try to see if I could meet you again, yet I didn’t expect…”

“Junior Sister, I’m really happy that my decision this time ultimately was not wrong.”

“All these years, the Akedo have been hunting us down. I have been contemplating on the way here what I should do to keep our tribesmen’s losses to the minimum if we were to encounter those Akedo barbarians.”

“Yet I didn’t expect that our journey would go so smoothly and that we wouldn’t meet those bunch of madmen from the Akedo.” As she said this, Doya blossomed into a smile while gripping Qiao Mu’s petite hands. “I guessed that it must have been Aunt-Master, Master, and them who were protecting me from up above, allowing us martial sisters to reunite here.”

“Mhm.” Qiao Mu nodded emphatically.

Doya patted her petite head with a smile, and everything seemed to have flowed back in time for a moment.

After laughing and crying their hearts out, only then did they wipe each other’s tears before regaining their composure.

Doya suddenly gritted her teeth and asked, “Junior Sister, did you see Ye Lingmin that bastard?”

Qiao Mu shook her head. “I haven’t seen her at all after that.”

“She actually dared to go missing after causing such an appalling disaster. She didn’t even appear once after the sect’s massacre! If I encounter her, I will definitely kill her so as to purge the sect.”

The little stoic did not say anything, merely hanging her petite head dispiritedly.

“Junior Sister, you must not sympathize with her. She may be your immediate third senior sister, but she is also the chief culprit for the sect’s ruin.” Doya knew this little fellow all too well. Her expression may be cold, but she was warm at heart. She especially had an indissoluble affection toward the sect.

“Think of Eldest Senior Sister Xu Shanshan, think of Second Senior Sister Xue Xiao, think of your master, think of your two aunt-masters! Who didn’t pass away innocently? Junior Sister, we must not be softhearted toward her. Because Ye Lingmin caused all of this! Even if we martial sisters joined hands to kill her, she cannot blame anyone else, only herself.” Doya gazed icily at the water surface up ahead before turning around to squeeze Qiao Mu’s petite hands.

Qiao Mu subconsciously nodded her petite head.

Afterwards, Doya calmed her emotions before abruptly taking out a letter from her inner world and placing it in the little stoic’s hand. “Junior Sister, Aunt-Master left you a letter before leaving. I’ve been holding on to this letter for eight years. Today, I can finally hand it over to you.”

Qiao Mu anxiously opened the letter and read through it line by line, character by character.

On the letter was written:

‘My disciple, let Master take a guess. You’re scolding your master for being a big liar as you read this letter!’

‘Correct, Master is a liar. Your master has indeed lied to you this time.’

‘If there was even a one in a billionth chance of possibility, Master would absolutely not abandon you.’

‘Every time Master thinks of how you will be alone with no one to lean on in the future, it feels as if a knife is twisting inside my heart.’

‘But my disciple, you must promise your master that even if you are the only one remaining in the sect, you still have to live on.’

‘Master is remorseful that I cannot be by your side during your most difficult time.’

‘But you must believe that you need to confront any tribulation by yourself by braving it confidently.’

‘On our paths to cultivation, we cultivate both the body and the heart.’

‘It is only when we become great-hearted that we will be able to confront any matter fearlessly.’
