"What I thought was a major matter turns out to be nothing."
Meng Qingshan smiled when he heard this, his expression relaxing. The Three Purity Sword Sect Disciples immediately felt the tension around them ease, as if even the air had grown fresher. They couldn't help taking a few deeper breaths.
"Since that's the case, where is Qingzhu now?" Meng Qingshan continued.
Li Muhe replied, "My sister is currently in Jing Xin Courtyard on Three Purity Peak."
Meng Qingshan said, "It's good she hasn't joined the sect yet. Then I'll leave these children in your care, Cousin Muhe. I'll head up the mountain now to find her and take her home."
As soon as Meng Qingshan finished speaking, he strode off toward Yellow Mountain.
"Wait!" Li Muhe called after him.
Meng Qingshan stopped and turned around, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Father has passed away, and the Changfeng Escort Agency no longer exists. Even if my sister returned to Jade Mountain City, what could that place bring her besides more sorrow? You just said you'd take her home, but can that place still be called home?
"Home is more than a few walls and doors. Jade Mountain City is beset by troubles from within and without; it's hardly a good place to live. Cousin, why not urge my sister to join the Three Purity Sword Sect and devote herself to the Dao? That would be better than drifting through the mortal world." There was an earnestness in Li Muhe's voice.
Hearing this, Meng Qingshan was momentarily stunned.
That was true. Even if she was willing to return with him, would she really be happy living in Jade Mountain City?
Taking Li Qingzhu back had always been his own wishful thinking. But what did she want now?
