NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1178: Parting Is Inevitable
Thus, Yuwen Qi stayed here for three days, waiting for the soldiers who had marched swiftly for over half a month to rest up, before his army was ready to break camp and return.
With the weather getting colder, they had to hurry back before the winter snow arrived; otherwise, it would be difficult to traverse once the mountain was sealed by snow.
The enthusiastic Fire-Swallowing Tribe knew they were leaving and roasted the mushrooms picked over the past few days for them overnight to take as military rations.
Originally, Yuwen Qi came to provide support; unexpectedly, he not only ate and drank, but also took large packages with him, making him feel quite apologetic.
"No need to feel embarrassed. You're carrying a major task, and whether we can go out and trade will depend on you in the future."
Bai Junjun patted him on the shoulder, wearing a face full of determination and heavy responsibility.
Yuwen Qi nodded solemnly.
This scene felt vaguely familiar.
Back then in Dai County, when the Fool initially regained consciousness, he was like this too, bidding farewell solemnly before leaving with his old comrades.
Unexpectedly, this scene was repeated again in winter.
However, there were differences; for example, last time in Dai County, they were temporarily stopping over, but now in Ownerless Land, it is everyone's base.
Additionally, last time when Yuwen Qi left, the future was uncertain, and he didn't know what it would look like, but now he has a firm goal and a clear task.
This time, the Fool wasn't too sentimental; he earnestly made a bow towards everyone: "I will definitely restore normalcy to this chaotic world as soon as possible."
"We believe in you," Li Wenli smiled, "With the turmoil outside, if you're going to raise an army, it's better sooner than later."
After all, Yuwen Jun had just suffered a heavy blow; seizing the chance to rebel might be the best timing.
"However, Yuwen Jun possesses a strange ghost army. You must be cautious if you encounter them, avoid being bitten, and the only way to deal with them is to decapitate them without hesitation."
Regarding Yuwen Jun's situation, Yuwen Qi had been cautioned so frequently in the past few days that his ears had grown calluses.
He nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I'll be very careful."
Thus, Yuwen Qi walked away without looking back.
The Lame Man Uncle and his two brothers naturally followed Yuwen Qi, not because they didn't love this place, but because they had chosen to accompany Yuwen Qi from the start, and no matter what, they intended to finish this journey.
Mr. Shan Hai approved of their decision, saying it's the Mohist spirit to have a beginning and an end.
Speaking of Lame Man Uncle and his brothers, they surprised Bai Junjun greatly in these few days.
Usually, with their unkempt beards and ragged clothing, they looked a mess, like pure-bred wanderers whom anyone would admire for their style. But now, returning home with upscale shower rooms, they had taken a good bath, changed into new clothes, and even tidied up their facial hair.
When they came out of their rooms, Bai Junjun almost didn't recognize them.
Usually, she always called them uncle, uncle, but to her surprise, these few weren't uncle-like at all; at most, they were mature-looking elder brothers.
Especially the Lame Man Uncle... no, Lame Man Brother, whose resolute face was full of hormonal charm.
Lady Lin sighed, "When my elder brother isn't talking, he still has a bit of Daniel Wu's flavor."
"Daniel Wu?" Bai Junjun didn't quite understand who this was.
Lady Lin looked at Bai Junjun with pity, "I forget that the civilization in your era has already fractured; Daniel Wu was a big star in our time, a recognized handsome man."
"Oh." Bai Junjun nodded, but her face didn't show much resonance.
