Chapter 1650: Chapter 1644: Will There Be Rewards?

Now, in Qin Xue’s heart, she is no longer the Qin Xue who resides quietly in her own corner. She wants to become stronger, so she must change–change her mindset and her way of thinking.

“Miss, you guys hurry up, we’re waiting for you up ahead,” Qing Teng shouted back when she saw that Qin Xue and her group hadn’t caught up.

“Got it, we’ll be right there,” Qin Xue replied.

“Yingying, don’t worry. I’ve come to terms with it. There are things I need to do. Once we return, I’ll start preparing,” Qin Xue wanted to be the one leading from behind the scenes.

“Alright, just let me know if you need any help. I have people here; you can direct them as you need,” Nangong Beiying agreed and even offered to allocate personnel for her.

“Okay, thank you, Yingying.” Qin Xue smiled, accepting her kindness. Sometimes, there isn’t a need for too many words between the sisters.

“No need to thank me. Your well-being is the best thing for me; otherwise, I’d be so lonely,” Nangong Beiying smiled.

The two of them had already died in that other world. Being able to reunite in this one is a great blessing, so they must cherish it.

“Chu Molin, keep up.” Qin Xue turned around to grab Chu Molin. Now she held Nangong Beiying in one hand and Chu Molin in the other. The enlightened Qin Xue felt much more at ease; the future was full of light. If others, however, caused her discomfort, she wouldn’t mind pulling them into the darkness with her.

“Miss, you’re so slow. What are you dawdling at in the back? If you don’t hurry, it’ll get dark,” Qing Teng complained as they descended to the mountainside. She had sent the elders ahead and waited for Qin Xue and the others alone.

“We’re leaving tomorrow. Of course, we should take a good look at the beautiful scenery here. What, don’t you want us to admire it?” Qin Xue looked at Qing Teng with a beaming smile, showing no trace of the pallor on her face earlier.

“Not at all. If you like it here, I could stay and live here with you. But do you really want that?” Qing Teng assumed Qin Xue was reluctant to leave because she appreciated the place.

“No, I want to go home. I have many things left to do and goals to achieve. I can assure you, I won’t settle here, so don’t feel troubled by it,” Qin Xue had no desire to live here. If she were to settle, it would be back in the Qin family’s village with Nangong Beiying.

“Alright, this place may be my birthplace, but I also don’t want to live here. I’ve done what I needed to for this place, so I owe it nothing. We’ll part ways peacefully,” Qing Teng glanced around the surroundings. She wouldn’t return here; the place held memories of her and her mother, as well as people she wished not to see–it was settled.

“Alright then, let’s go back, pack our things, and head home tomorrow. Just thinking about going home makes me feel incredibly happy,” Qin Xue felt that nothing was more important than returning to the home she longed for in her heart.

“By the way, Chu Molin, about Ding Xi’s situation, will there be a reward for this mission? His wedding was delayed because of it. I wonder if he’ll be punished by Li Rong when he returns?” Qin Xue pondered that having merits might make for a nice turning point.

“I’ve discussed it with the old man. They can join the special team without participating in the preliminary rounds,” Chu Molin could only secure this benefit for them; any other commendation would depend on the higher-ups.

Based on their actions this time, there should be something, and since there were no casualties on their side, he believed they would indeed be rewarded.
