Chapter 1646: Chapter 1640 Agreed

Since many things are beyond Qing Teng’s understanding, and she doesn’t want to be troubled by them, she only needs to follow Qin Xue and Nangong Beiying for now. As for other matters, she doesn’t want to care or interfere.

Therefore, she could only remind the Elders in this way that she could stay, but what happens in the future is beyond his control.

So, if he wanted his beloved daughter not to be sad, he would definitely let her leave. This was something she knew from the beginning.

“Fine, I agree to let them leave with you, but she is still the protector of our Zhongzhai. This can never change,” the Elder did not want Qing Teng to sever all ties with Zhongzhai, so he refused to revoke her position.

“Elder, there’s no need for this. After I’ve followed the Holy Maiden, I will only protect her safety until the village’s crisis is resolved. After that, I will no longer have any ties with the village.

So keeping the title of protector is useless to me. How about I transfer the protector’s position to your daughter, Munara?” Qing Teng, once leaving, did not want any further entanglement with them, so she didn’t want the position.

Qing Teng now just wants a peaceful life, not wanting to be affected by other matters, so she avoids involvement wherever possible.

“Do you really want to do this?” The Elder looked at Qing Teng with some heartbreak, not understanding what he had done to make his daughter so determined to leave.

“Yes, this is my wish and my mother’s last dying wish, so I’d appreciate it if the Elder doesn’t say more.” Qing Teng also brought up her deceased mother, knowing the Elder felt guilty towards her; he should agree now, otherwise, she doesn’t mind making it uncomfortable for everyone.

“Alright, I agree with you.” The Elder had no choice but to agree because she not only mentioned Ruqing, but he also saw the resoluteness in Qing Teng’s eyes, leaving him no option.

“Thank you.” Qing Teng had no feelings for him, but felt obliged to thank him.

“Now that everything’s settled, should we start preparing to go down the mountain?” Nangong Beiying interrupted their conversation, seeing everyone was agreeable.

The second, third, and fourth Elders simply exchanged glances, understanding each other without words since the decision to leave or stay didn’t impact them much.

Why did they think this way? It’s because they all knew Qin Xue and Qing Teng weren’t interested in this place, meaning they wouldn’t seek power and therefore wouldn’t interfere with their decisions.

The Elder also knew this was an inevitable decision that couldn’t be changed; no matter how much he said, it wouldn’t help. The duration was too long, so they couldn’t stay here forever. Thus, he could only agree to Qin Xue and Qing Teng’s decision, hoping it would indeed be effective.

“Holy Maiden, could you leave us a bottle of what you used just now?” The Elder thought for a moment and asked.

“I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t want to give it to you, but there’s currently only one bottle, and I have no more. I’ve already purified the source water, meaning the water you’re drinking now won’t have any problems.

Just wait a few years and see the situation. As long as someone lives past the age of forty, it will prove it’s effective. So you don’t need to worry. I will return to continue studying the issues here; if anything arises, just contact us.”

It was her own blood. If Qin Xue gave it to them, it would expose her secret, a mistake she couldn’t afford to make.

Qin Xue didn’t want the people here to know it was her blood, so she wouldn’t give it. At worst, she could come back here again in the future.
