"Old Mo, what's going on with you?"
Qin Yi asked curiously.
Mo Wuji sobbed, and when Qin Yi asked, he cried even harder, unable to stop.
Qin Yi was completely baffled.
"Little Bai Fairy, you handle this."
Bai Jingqing, equally bewildered, stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Mo Wuji shook his head, just sobbing without saying a word.
Qin Yi frowned, "I say, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't be all teary-eyed, what does that look like?"
Mo Wuji lifted his head, his eyes red, and sniffed, "This is the first time I've received a gift."
"..."
The entire place was dumbstruck.
Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Damn, even if it's your first time receiving a gift, there's no need to cry so bitterly, right? Those who know understand you're moved to tears by your first gift; those who don't might think I took your first time."
Bai Jingqing gave Qin Yi a reproachful look. She suddenly felt a bit sorry for Mo Wuji, knowing he hadn't had it easy at the Mo Family, always being ostracized.
She had once saved Mo Wuji from bullies by chance when they were young, and he remembered for over twenty years. It hadn't been easy for this man to get this far.
Bai Jingqing's softest spot in her heart was touched.
"Alright, stop crying. From now on, everything will get better." Bai Jingqing consoled him.
Mo Wuji wiped his tears and looked at Qin Yi, "Brother Qin, thank you!"
Qin Yi smiled, knowing how much gratitude was behind Mo Wuji's thank you.
"I'll hold onto this Holy Artifact for Brother Qin for now, and if you ever need it, I'll give it back to you."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with him.
"Feel better after crying?"
Mo Wuji felt a bit embarrassed, "Sorry to make everyone laugh."
Perhaps no one could understand why Mo Wuji cried? If you were bullied your whole life, living cautiously, seeing others with parents who love them while you have no one. When you receive your first gift one day, then you would understand Mo Wuji's feelings.
This was not just a gift; it let him know not everyone's blood is cold, that there are people who care, that this world is worth it.
Qin Mu flipped his hand, and the Shocking Dragon Sword appeared, casually tossing it to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji instinctively reached out to catch the Shocking Dragon Sword, looking at Qin Yi confused.
Qin Yi laughed, "Since you're saving my silver writing brush, keep the Shocking Dragon Sword too."
"Of course, I allow you to give it to someone else. No matter how precious a divine weapon, it only shows its value when used. Just sitting there, it's a useless piece of metal."
"Unfortunately, I don't use swords. So, Old Mo, please help me hand it over to someone fated for it."
Mo Wuji looked at Qin Yi blankly, face full of foolishness.
Qin Yi, exasperated, gestured with his mouth towards Bai Jingqing.
Mo Wuji suddenly understood that Qin Yi wanted him to give the Shocking Dragon Sword to Bai Jingqing. He could've handed it to her himself, but he deliberately asked Mo Wuji to do it, the meaning was obvious.
He looked gratefully at Qin Yi, his lips trembling slightly, tears in his eyes.
In this life, apart from his parents, only Qin Yi treated him well.
"Don't cry, if you cry again, believe it or not, I'll dig a hole and bury you in this Sand Sea?" Qin Yi said, his scalp tingling.
"Darn, I'm such a failure. Everyone else moves women; I moved a rough man to tears. What the heck?"
Mo Wuji grinned.
Then, handed the Shocking Dragon Sword to Bai Jingqing, "Junior Sister Bai, this Shocking Dragon Sword suits you."
Everyone could see that when the Shocking Dragon Sword appeared, Bai Jingqing's eyes lit up.
Bai Jingqing wasn't just any woman; she indeed loved the Shocking Dragon Sword. Not being the least bit pretentious, she reached out and took it.
"Reach out."
"Huh?" Mo Wuji looked puzzled.
"Reach out your hand."
Mo Wuji, confused, reached out his hand.
Bai Jingqing placed a heart-shaped red gemstone in Mo Wuji's palm, her pretty face reddened slightly, and turned to walk away.
Mo Wuji was dumbfounded holding that heart-shaped red gemstone.
"Brother Qin, this gemstone seems like the one I previously gave to Junior Sister Bai."
"You gave her a raw stone, but she polished it into a heart shape to give back to you. Don't you understand what that means?"
Mo Wuji, with a face like a fool, "What does it mean? Does it mean she doesn't like it? Or is she telling me the blue heart-shaped gemstone I gave her wasn't polished well enough? So she polished one herself."
Qin Yi: "..."
"Old Mo, you're really a genius."
Mo Wuji looked at Qin Yi, clueless, "Did I guess wrong?"
Qin Yi said, "You gave her the Shocking Dragon Sword, and Little Bai Fairy returned you this heart-shaped gemstone? What does that signify? Put them together, it's like a sword piercing a heart, she actually wants to kill you."
"Huh?" Mo Wuji was shocked, "Why?"
"Because you're really a... genius."
Mo Wuji humbly said, "Compared to Brother Qin, my little talent isn't worth mentioning. Brother Qin is the true genius."
Qin Yi: "..."
"Was I praising you? I always thought you were insightful and clever. How are you so clueless about romance?"
Mo Wuji was completely confused, "Brother Qin, why are you so angry? Did I do something wrong?"
Qin Yi rubbed his temples, utterly speechless. He really wanted to open this guy's head to see if it was filled with sand.
"You gave her a blue heart-shaped gemstone you polished yourself. She gave you a red heart-shaped gemstone she polished herself. That's called hearts resonate with each other. It proves she likes you. Understand?"
Mo Wuji was stunned for a long time before looking at Qin Yi in disbelief, "Really?"
"Hell, no. Go dig a hole and bury yourself." Qin Yi was already quite fed up.
Qin Yi turned to Wang Zheng, "Let's go. The Immortal Artifact and Holy Artifact above are beyond our current cultivation to reach."
Wang Zheng genuinely admired, "Getting a Holy Artifact is already making me admire you genuinely."
"Really? Then bow down for one?"
Wang Zheng: "..."
However, he also knew Qin Yi liked to joke around, just about to say something when his face suddenly changed.
Qin Yi curiously turned to look, discovering that the Divine Mountain somehow disappeared.
"Old Qin, Old Ning, great grace doesn't need thanks, we'll meet again." Qin Yi thought.
Qin Yi glanced at the blank Mo Wuji, helplessly shaking his head, "Old Mo, let's go, we're leaving."
Mo Wuji dutifully ran over, glanced at Bai Jingqing already on the boat, and whispered, "I figured it out."
"Figured what out?"
Mo Wuji whispered, "Junior Sister Bai likes me, right?"
"You're mistaken, she doesn't like you, she likes me."
"Huh?"
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, idiot.
"Brother Qin, if Junior Sister Bai really likes you, I'm willing to step back, just ask..."
"Bang!"
Qin Yi's face darkened, directly kicked Mo Wuji flying.
