The journey there had been hurried; the journey back was rather more relaxed.
Once Qingsong's affairs were settled, the unruly brats on his own mountain had all been fully taken care of.
He could finally catch his breath!
He flew toward the Azure Cloud Sect with Little Bie San, Paper Cranes and Paper Butterflies fluttering freely through the sky along the way.
Every time he went out, he took people with him; when he returned, only he remained.
Xiao Bai, Tutu, Changsheng, Leng Qingsong-as for that little blond brat Xiao Feng, an unkillable cockroach like him needed no worrying over.
It seemed that, to everyone on Little Mountain Peak, he was merely a passing traveler in their lives, arriving in a hurry and then watching them bravely climb toward the peaks they sought to scale.
He could only stand at the foot of the mountain and watch them climb. Beyond waving flags and cheering them on in his heart, there was nothing more he could do to help.
Only Little Bie San remained on Ouyang's shoulder. He had even sent his dog away on this trip, leaving just this monkey on his shoulder to keep him company.
Now he finally had complete peace and quiet, and he could get some proper rest.
With nothing pressing him to hurry, his pace slowed as well.
The journey from the Azure Cloud Sect to the Extreme Eastern Land had taken two or three months, but Ouyang spent nearly half a year returning, wandering here and there and sometimes even losing his way.
That had delayed him quite a bit on the road.
When he saw the Azure Cloud Sect's gates, the travel-worn Ouyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the Azure Cloud Sect's mountain gates, a smile spread across Ouyang's face.
