Chapter 357 Let’s go together
On the grassland, a sudden howl of wind swept across the land, swirling yellow sand like a mournful farewell or an impending thunderstorm. Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen watched Bai Zhi and Fu Ling busily packing their belongings in the distance, their hearts filled with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation for the journey ahead. They knew that leaving the grassland meant stepping into an unknown territory, a path fraught with peril and uncertainty.
"Mo Chen, it's almost time. We should say goodbye to the wolf family." Ye Qingchen said softly, her voice trembling slightly in the wind, her eyes revealing a hint of reluctance.
Gu Mochen nodded, reached out and gently took Ye Qingchen's hand, offering her strength and comfort: "Okay, let's go." The two walked side by side toward the place where the wolf family lived.
The two wolves lay quietly on the ground, their eyes revealing an indescribable loyalty and affection. When they saw Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen approaching, they immediately stood up, wagging their tails and letting out affectionate growls.
"Brother Wolf, Sister Wolf, we're about to leave." Gu Mochen stepped forward, squatted down, and gently stroked the male wolf's head, his eyes filled with reluctance. "I hope you will always be safe and sound in the future."
The mother wolf also came closer, rubbing her head against Ye Qingchen's leg and whimpering, as if expressing her reluctance to part. However, when Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen said they were leaving and asked the wolves to stay, the two wolves suddenly became unusually agitated. They kept circling around the two of them, emitting mournful howls, clearly unwilling to part.
Looking at the wolf family, Ye Qingchen felt a pang of sadness. She knelt down and gently hugged the mother wolf's neck: "We can't bear to leave you either, but if we go further north, the weather will become extremely cold. The cub is still small, and it can't withstand such severe cold."
No matter how the two tried to persuade them, the two wolves remained unmoved, steadfastly guarding their side. Ye Qingchen sighed helplessly, exchanged a glance with Gu Mochen, then closed her eyes and muttered something under her breath.
A moment later, a soft light flashed, and a small white fawn, pure white with translucent antlers, appeared before everyone. The fawn's appearance instantly brought peace and tranquility to the surroundings. It gently shook its head, and the bells on its antlers rang out with a clear and melodious sound.
"Little White, I'm sorry to trouble you again." Ye Qingchen opened her eyes and said to the little white deer with a smile. The little white deer affectionately rubbed against Ye Qingchen's hand, indicating that she didn't need to be polite.
Ye Qingchen turned to the two wolves and said seriously, "We have to leave the grassland, but it gets colder further north. You can't keep following us; the little wolf can't handle it." The little white deer then conveyed Ye Qingchen's words to the two wolves in a peculiar language.
After listening, the male wolf remained silent for a moment, then raised his head and let out a series of calls to the little white deer. The little white deer listened attentively and then translated the male wolf's words: "I know you are not an ordinary person, and you have a mysterious place. We will follow you there, and we will come out when needed."
Ye Qingchen and Gu Mochen were deeply moved upon hearing this. Ye Qingchen nodded slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll put you in my space. The environment there is pleasant, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and there's also space water to heal your injuries. You can recuperate properly in there."
Having said that, Ye Qingchen clasped her hands together and chanted incantations. A circular entrance radiating a soft light appeared before her, its interior shrouded in mist, revealing glimpses of verdant mountains, clear waters, and the sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers. Seeing this, the two wolves, without hesitation, led their cub slowly into the entrance. Once their figures had completely disappeared from the entrance, Ye Qingchen gently waved her hand, and the entrance gradually shrank until it vanished completely.
Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen stood up, gazing at the distant grassland, their hearts filled with emotion. They knew that the wolf family would receive proper care from Xiaobai in the space, allowing them to better recover from their injuries; however, they didn't know how to explain this to the four people.
Meanwhile, Bai Zhi, Fu Ling, and Song Ming, who were packing their luggage not far away, kept glancing over. Song Ming watched as Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen slowly returned after saying goodbye to the wolf family, a subtle, complex expression flashing in his eyes. In fact, Song Ming had already noticed something unusual about Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen during their previous interactions. Their occasional displays of extraordinary abilities and mysterious actions filled Song Ming with suspicion. However, he didn't press them for details, knowing that everyone had their own secrets.
Bai Zhi and Fu Ling had spent more time with Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen, and their understanding and trust were deeper. They too had noticed the couple's secrets, such as Ye Qingchen's ability to summon the little white deer and the mysterious space, all of which shocked them. But like Song Ming, they chose to remain silent. They knew that Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen were truly sincere towards them, and having gone through so much together, their bond was more important than anything else. As long as the two of them were happy, everyone was overjoyed.
When Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen returned to the group, Bai Zhi greeted them with a smile: "Everything is ready, we can set off anytime." Fu Ling nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with anticipation for the journey ahead. Song Ming stepped forward, patted Gu Mochen on the shoulder, and said nothing, but his eyes were full of understanding and support.
Looking at his subordinates, or rather, his partners, Gu Mochen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that although everyone had seen through his secret with Ye Qingchen, no one had spoken out. This tacit understanding and tolerance made him cherish it all the more.
"Alright, let's set off then!" Gu Mochen took a deep breath and said loudly. Everyone agreed, shouldered their packs, and strode confidently northward.
On the grassland, the wind still howled. They had to hurry, to get out of the dark clouds before the rain started, or they and their horses would become exhausted. They continued northward, galloping forward, and soon they emerged from the clouds. With no shelter, they could see directly from the carriage that a torrential downpour was falling on the grassland, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and that they had entered the northern border region. The people here were blond-haired and blue-eyed, very tall, and wore rather strange, loose-fitting robes.
Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen had business here, so they sent a signal to an acquaintance. Soon, subordinates came to greet them. It was really good to find your own people in a foreign country, otherwise you might not even be able to speak the language.
