The scene was harmonious, and Wu Qiu and the others couldn't help but say, "So, she bought those to give to these children?"
However, they soon realized that the child's parents had arrived on the screen. Wu Qiu had expected them to thank Bai Mu, but they didn't. They gave Bai Mu a complicated look, then picked up their child and left.
Everyone was completely baffled by the scene. Paimon, hands on his hips, exclaimed, "That's outrageous! Can't they even say thank you?"
Finally, everyone saw that only one child remained out of the three. Bai Mu showed no displeasure at the fact that the first two children had been taken away, and still smiled as she gave the last child the remaining medicine.
“Go ahead. Your grandfather’s illness isn’t too serious, but we can’t delay. These medicinal herbs should be able to help you.”
The child nodded, thanked him, and left.
The scene seemed somewhat deserted for some reason. Bai Mu didn't pay any attention, turned his head, and walked towards the edge of the village.
Everyone felt that something was going on, so they became even more curious about the girl and wanted to find out what had happened.
Chapter 470: Bai Mo is a duplicate name
After Bai Mu walked away, they sent Cang Yu to follow him, while Wu Qiu and the others went to inquire about Bai Mu.
Upon entering the village, we found it to be small with a sparse population. It was already dusk, and although darkness was still some time away, it was already a quiet time with hardly anyone around in the village.
Looking at the empty streets, they didn't know how to ask around. Knocking on doors one by one would be far too impolite.
"You've come here because of that girl, Xiao Mu?"
Suddenly, an old voice rang out, and Wu Qiu and the others saw an old woman sitting in a small wooden house, looking at them through the window.
The group exchanged glances, then stepped forward. "Hello, ma'am, we really did come for her. Could you tell us something about her?"
The old woman shook her head. "You've asked the wrong person. I don't know. In fact, nobody in this village knows her."
Everyone was taken aback.
"Isn't she someone you know?"
Ying spoke again. The old woman shook her head. "No, she came three days ago. At that time, a group of slimes came to our village and caused trouble. She came to drive them away."
The old woman chuckled as she spoke, "Although slimes aren't that vicious, they are still very dangerous. Back then, it was she who saved my life."
Everyone nodded, but they were still somewhat surprised that Bai Mu was not familiar with these villagers. So why did she buy things to give to those children?
"Oops~"
The old man suddenly sighed, then looked at Wu Qiu and the others. "I don't know why you're looking for her, but judging from your appearance, you're not enemies. Since that's the case, then spend more time with her. This child is quite lonely."
Wu Qiu didn't interrupt the old man; he just listened.
"Xiao Mu, although she's not a child, is even more innocent than a child. Moreover, she really loves to play and laugh, and she has no ill intentions towards people. She can play with those three children just like adults."
"But do you know why? I'm sure you're also curious: she saved us, so why should she buy things for those children?"
Wu Qiu nodded; he was genuinely curious. The old man seemed to ponder for a moment before speaking: "To be honest, the adults in the village don't really like her. Even I was a little resistant when I first met her."
"So, the only people in the village who liked to play with her were those three children. She wasn't angry; on the contrary, she was very happy and grateful that the three children's parents agreed to let their children play with her. That's why she bought things for those three children to thank them."
Wu Qiu and the others were dumbfounded. Paimon was even more upset, "I don't understand. Why? She clearly helped you, so why don't you adults like her?"
The old man shook his head. "I don't know how to describe that feeling, but when we see her and interact with her, we feel very uncomfortable. It's as if some bad things we've done, things we've kept hidden in our hearts and things we don't want others to know, have been brought out and laid out in the open."
"Although it was just a feeling, and not something that was actually made public, it made us unwilling to get close to her, and even made us dislike her."
After he finished speaking, the others didn't understand, but Wu Qiu smiled. He glanced at the old lady and said, "You don't dislike her now, is it because you've let go of those things in your heart, so not only do you not dislike her, but you even somewhat enjoy being with her?"
The old lady's eyes lit up, then she looked at Wu Qiu and asked, "That's right, how did you know?"
Wu Qiu did not answer, but said to the old lady, "Thank you, we already know."
Then, Wu Qiu led them away.
Outside, Ying asked, "Xiao Qiuzi, what do you know?"
Looking into the distance, in the direction Bai Mu had left, Wu Qiu said in a deep voice, "Sister Ying, if I'm not mistaken, her name isn't Bai Mu at all, but Bai Mo."
"Bai Mo!"
Ying was speechless. Wu Qiu nodded, "That's right, Sister Ying, don't doubt it, it's the one you're thinking of."
Ying lowered her head in thought and said, "Bai Mo, five hundred years ago, yes! It's five hundred years ago now! That means we met her alive..."
"But why? What exactly happened? Why do adults hate her, but children don't?"
As Wu Qiu walked forward, he said, "I learned a lot about her from Zhong Li. It sounded unbelievable at first, but now it seems to be true."
“Zhongli once said that Bai Mo possesses a special power, a power that is invisible and colorless, impossible to resist or capture. If someone dislikes her, it's likely that they've done something bad, or have some wrongdoing they don't want others to know.”
"If a person doesn't dislike her, then that person can't be said to be a great person, but they certainly haven't done anything wrong, let alone have anything wrong they're hiding from others."
"So amazing? But why?" Fengshan Jueyun asked curiously. Wu Qiu shook his head. "Well, the power emanating from Bai Mo can purify a person's evil thoughts and any filth."
"That is not a calamity, but rather a blessing. When someone who has done something wrong and has buried those things in their heart sees her and comes into contact with her, they will be drawn to her aura, and then their guilt and unease will be endlessly unearthed and released."
"Even if you are a ruthless killer, in her presence you will truly feel how terrible your past mistakes were, and you will feel remorse. Over time, given enough time, even the most evil person can be purified. You may not become a saint, but you can become an ordinary person."
"But this process is painful. When those things you don't want to be mentioned, don't want others to know, or even things you choose to forget or avoid are ruthlessly placed in your heart, appear in your mind, and made to be deeply aware of them, then it can't be described as just embarrassing; it's torture."
After listening to Wu Qiu's explanation, Ying suddenly realized, "That's why the adults dislike her. After all, everyone has some mistakes they don't want to be mentioned. When they see her being exposed, and they don't want to face those things themselves, they develop a sense of disgust towards Bai Mo and start to hate her."
Nodding, Wu Qiu continued, "Those children, or that man today, have never done anything wrong, nor do they have many worries, so they don't dislike Bai Mo, and in fact, they are quite close to her."
"It's just a pity that, apart from innocent children, there are too few people like her. Clearly, this is a power that can benefit the world, but people's hearts cannot accept it, leaving her to bear the malice in the hearts of people in this world all by herself."
Wu Qiu felt very sad, but he had no power to judge others, because if it weren't for their strength, he might have ended up like these villagers. After all, Wu Qiu didn't believe he hadn't done anything wrong.
Feng Shan Jueyun patted his chest. "But why don't I feel anything, even though I am the Eye of the Night?"
Wu Qiu chuckled, "Jueyun, this just proves that Bai Mo wouldn't get to know someone based on rumors. You weren't affected because you didn't have any guilty secrets to hide. Even if you are the Eye of the Night, the evil spirit of Teyvat, you can still be kind. Bai Mo has proven that for you, although only we know it."
Feng Shan Jueyun clenched his fists tightly, his heart trembling. For the first time, he felt understood by the world.
Yes, he is Peak of the Clouds, but he is also the Eye of the Night. People know him as a great hero of Liyue, but at the same time, they also know that the Eye of the Night is an evil spirit, so not many people know that he is the Eye of the Night.
Even Feng Shan Jueyun himself doubted whether the Eye of the Demon Night could truly only be evil, after all, it was an evil spirit. But now, Bai Mo told him, no, even if you are an evil spirit, you can also be kind.
Following the trail left by Cang Yu, they arrived at the edge of the village. They found Cang Yu and were about to greet him when he gestured for them to be quiet.
Looking up, they saw Bai Mo holding a little girl's hand and trying to cheer her up amidst the few flowers on the main road. The little girl, with tear stains at the corners of her eyes, showed that she had just been crying, but now she was laughing happily, amused by Bai Mo.
"This little girl must have gotten lost. She secretly ran away to play and got too far to come back."
Cang Yu explained the situation, and sure enough, just as she finished speaking, she saw Bai Mo carrying the child away. They followed closely, walking through many villages, almost covering the entire surrounding area, until they finally found the child's parents.
Seeing the parents holding their child, overjoyed and crying, they felt gratified. However, when the child called out "Sister," saying that her sister had brought her back, the parents looked at Bai Mo with some complicated feelings, then simply nodded slightly, without offering any words of thanks, and left.
Wu Qiu even heard someone say, "Listen to me, don't talk to people like that anymore, understand?"
Wu Qiu felt a sharp pang in his heart. If it were him, he would have already attacked them.
However, judging from Bai Mo's expression, she must have heard it; her body trembled slightly, but she didn't do anything. Seeing the child waving at her, clearly not understanding what was happening, and even looking like she was about to cry again, Bai Mo took off her mask for the first time.
However, because their backs were to Wu Qiu and the others, they couldn't see it. But they could see from the actions that Bai Mo made a funny face, and then the child who was about to be carried into the house laughed.
After seeing them leave, Bai Mo lowered her hand, put her mask back on, and turned to leave. However, she didn't seem disappointed as Wu Qiu and the others had imagined. On the contrary, she seemed quite happy. As she walked, she suddenly put her hands behind her back, skipped along, and hummed a song as she walked into the distance.
"Wow! That's so unfair. Why does that kind of power have to appear on her? She's so kind, so innocent, such a good person, yet she can't get along with people."
Paimon Void stamped his foot, indignant on Bai Mo's behalf. Wu Qiu, however, shook his head. "There's nothing we can do. Her existence is just too mysterious. The system, the demons, everything is related to her. So, it's not surprising that anything strange happens to her, is it?"
As he spoke, Wu Qiu began to probe Bai Mo, saying, "However, it would be better if we confirmed it first."
Name: Bai Mo
Gender: Female
age:?
Rating: 41
Message: Divine Fragment Incarnation
Special reminder: It's best not to mess with her.
Level 41 is not a low level, but for Wu Qiu and his group, it's really nothing. It's a level that can easily wipe out a whole group with a single slap.
Chapter 471: Farewell to True Lord Liuyun
At the foot of Mount Aozang, Bai Mo secretly arrived, and Wu Qiu and the others followed stealthily. Just as they were all acting secretly, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Xiao Mo."
Looking up, he saw a crane standing gracefully on a giant rock. Indeed, this person was none other than the True Lord of Cloud-Borrowing Wind.
Compared to five hundred years later, she hasn't changed at all; she's exactly the same. She looks exactly the same now as she did five hundred years later.
Upon hearing this voice, Bai Mo shrank his neck, then looked up and said, "Master... it's so late, you're still awake..."
Looking at the sky where the sun had not yet completely set and there was still a lingering glow, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng shook his head and asked, "Where have you been these past few days?"
The voice was very serious, and it was clear that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was very dissatisfied, even angry, about Bai Mo secretly going down the mountain these past few days.
"Hey, what's going on? Even when Shenhe went down the mountain to borrow the clouds and wind, True Lord Zhenjun wasn't this angry."
Fengshan Jueyun asked curiously, and Wu Qiu shook his head, "Of course, whether it's you or Shen He, although their reputations are bad, they are not uncontrollable. As long as you don't use the Eye of the Demon Night, you are no different from a normal person. Shen He can also suppress his killing intent with the red rope."
"But Bai Mo is different. Her power is uncontrollable. If she goes down there, something will definitely happen. This is probably a way for True Lord Liu Yun to show his concern."
Bai Mo lowered his head and spoke weakly, "Master, please don't be angry, I just..."
"But what!"
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun interrupted Bai Mo. He flew to her, looked at her with helplessness in his eyes, but still said, "How can I not be angry! Xiao Mo, I know you have been lonely on the mountain for more than 20 years, and you yearn for the outside world, but you know your own situation very well."
"As your master, I haven't found a way to suppress your power yet. If you go down the mountain like this, given your personality, you'll get sold out, cheated, or bullied, and you'll have to apologize to the other party."
“I know you want to go down the mountain, but the ways of the world and people’s hearts cannot be understood overnight. Moreover, your special constitution means you are destined to be ostracized, and not many people will treat you sincerely.”
"You help others, but they may not be grateful; you sincerely help others, but they may not treat you the same way. You are easily deceived in this way."
Wu Qiu felt uneasy listening to this, and wondered if Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was reciting his own ID number.
Bai Mo raised his head and looked at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, saying, "Don't be angry, Master. This time when I went down the mountain, I wasn't bullied. I found a job and even got paid."
Lord Liuyun Jiefeng raised an eyebrow. "Oh, what have you been doing? How long have you been doing it?"
Bai Mo puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I found a job through my own efforts. I helped them move things at the dock, and I earned three thousand moras in just two days."
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's eyes twitched. "Even the worst laborers at the docks earn eight thousand moras in two days..."
Bai Mo was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head. "Is that so? Then, maybe I didn't perform well..."
