Chapter 63: The End, Encounter

Ye Su heard Li slowly mocking himself shamelessly, but he didn't refute it because he was the distinguished scholar of the academy's back mountain. His name was Li slowly, though he arrived slowly, he appeared very quickly. I have translated the provided Chinese text into English while keeping all @ matches. If you have any further questions regarding the translation, feel free to ask.
Upon Li Manman's appearance, Tang and Xiahou both stopped.
The protectors of Xiling, riding on their religious cavalry, halted behind Ye Su, while the heavy-armored Xuanqi of Tang stopped behind Xiahou. Tang retreated to his sister Tang Xiaotang's side. Each of them had their own motives, but they held back their actions.
Li Manman saw the scene and suddenly quieted down, revealing a warm and gentle smile like sunlight. He looked around at the several people present, who were all lost in thought, and said, "I'm just here to pick up my junior brother and nephew to go back to the academy. You can continue, don't mind me."
Although Mr. Li Moman said so, the scene fell into silence for a while, with no one speaking or taking action.
Li Moman also ignored them and said to Li Longqing, "Junior apprentice, junior disciple, let's go. Master sent me to pick you up and bring you back to the academy."
Before leaving, Li Longqing looked at Ye Hongyu and gazed into her eyes with a look that seemed to say, "Ye Hongyu, don't forget that you still owe me one thing."
Ye Hongyu also looked into Li Longqing's eyes, her eyebrows and eyes flickering as if responding, "I remember."
Then Li Longqing, Mo Shanshan, and Ning Que followed the eldest senior brother and left calmly under everyone's gaze.
Ye Su watched as Ning Que left with a box, and then looked at Li Momo's figure. The restless wooden sword on his back quieted down, and then he turned around and left.
Ye Hongyu saw her brother turn around and leave. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say it and left with the escort cavalry of Xi Ling.
Xiahou released his clenched fist and returned to the heavy-armored mysterious cavalry who came to meet him. He mounted his horse and left with the finest cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang saw Xiahou Tangguozhongjiaxuanqi's cavalry surrounding him, so he handed the blood-colored broadsword back to his sister.
Tang Xiaotang took the blood-colored broadsword handed over by her brother, watching as Mr. Li gracefully and majestically left with Li Longqing and others. In her tender eyes, a more fiery gaze appeared, and she repeated in her heart, "I must become a disciple of Master Confucius".
……
"Who is this girl?" After walking for a while, Mr. Li slowly asked Li Longqing who the attractive girl next to him was.
"Senior Brother, she is Mo Chi Mo Shan, a disciple of Wang Shusheng from the Ink Pool Garden." Li Longqing introduced to Senior Brother.
Mo Shanshan, a disciple of Mochi Garden, bowed and respectfully said, "Mr. Daheshan, I pay my respects."
Looking at the elegant and gentle Mo Shanshan, who seemed like a delicate girl next door, and glancing at Li Longqing beside her, he was very satisfied and said, "So you are the bookworm girl. Indeed, seeing is believing. The bookworm girl is very good."
Li Longqing on the side heard Li slowly praising Shuchilian as very good, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "Senior Brother would not praise girls, Senior Brother is an honest person."
Then he said to Senior Brother, "Senior Brother, your words of praise are quite unique."
Ning Que also echoed, "Yes, Master, your praise is indeed unique."
No matter how unique the words the gentleman praised her with, in short, he praised her, so Mo Shan Shan was very happy and said, "Thank you, Sir."
Master X replied, "I really don't know how to praise people. Just being able to think of words is good enough for me."
Indeed, Master X doesn't know how to praise people. Because he rarely praises others, there are very few words he can use to praise someone, making it even more rare for someone to receive his praise. Thus, it becomes a vicious cycle, and when Master X finally praises someone, it's simply "good."
Li Longqing has not eaten anything since he entered the Mo Sect. Ning Que and Mo Shan Shan are definitely hungry too.
Li Longqing knows that Senior Brother and Master are usually very busy, always looking for good food all over the world. So, hungry Li Longqing says to Senior Brother, "Senior Brother, we haven't eaten anything for a long time. Do you know where there is good food nearby?"
Ning Que slashed Lian Sheng with many knives and his stomach was rumbling with hunger, so he also expressed his desire to find something delicious to eat.
The eldest disciple looked at the vast white Hulan Sea nearby and said, "In the Hulan Sea, there is a fish called Osmanthus Fish. When sliced thinly and placed on ice, its flesh is extremely delicious and tasty. We can go and catch one or two."
And then they arrived at the ice-covered beach of Hulanhai.
Under the guidance of the eldest senior brother, the group quickly started to work busily.
Daxiong, the senior brother, takes out cooking and dining utensils from the carriage, prepares ice blocks, and Ning Que, who is skilled at fishing, goes fishing. Li Longqing, who brings radiance to the sky, goes to gather firewood and start a fire. Mo Shanshan has nothing to do, so she follows Li Longqing to gather firewood. Please note that the translation is a literal translation and may not convey the intended meaning accurately.
Li Longqing took Mo Shanshan to a nearby small forest. After gaining insight through breaking the mirror, Li Longqing's perceptiveness became even stronger, so he easily found the few dried firewood in the small forest, and Mo Shanshan also found a few pieces.
In the white snowy field, in the evergreen small forest, Li Longqing is picking firewood, and Mo Shan Shan is picking firewood. Occasionally, the two meet eye to eye, smile at each other, and then continue picking firewood. This scene is beautiful.
Li Longqing, who is as attentive as a needle, noticed that since leaving the gate of Mo Zong Mountain and meeting with Ye Su, Tang, and others, Mo Shan Shan's mood has been somewhat down. So he took the opportunity of being alone with Mo Shan Shan and asked, "Shan Shan, do you have something on your mind?"
Mo Shanshan pondered for a moment and then spoke, "Both Tang Xiaotang and Ye Hongyu have older brothers, doesn't Your Highness also have an older brother? Since I lost my family at a young age, I am an orphan, so when I see the older brothers of Tang Xiaotang and Ye Hongyu, I feel a heavy weight pressing on my chest..."
Is Mo Shanshan an orphan?" Li Longqing was not aware of this matter before.
"Could it be that similar souls are destined to attract each other?" Li Longqing thought of many things at this moment.
At this moment, Li Longqing made a decision and then said to Mo Shanshan, "
I know this feeling."
Li Longqing walked up to Mo Shanshan, gently placing his hands on her soft shoulders, looking into her eyes. His spiritual power gradually spread, transmitting his feelings to Mo Shanshan through his eyes.
Two similar souls meet at this moment, feeling each other's sense of loss, comforting each other's wounds, and then helping each other slowly walk out of that desolation.
"Your Highness," Mo Shanshan called out.
Li Longqing replied, "We've collected enough firewood, let's go back."
Mo Shanshan softly whispered, "Hmm, let's go back."
Hulan riverside, Li Longqing ignited the firewood with the bright divine light of Haotian, and Ning Que came back with two fat and delicious mandarin fish. The senior martial brother's ice block and kitchen utensils are also prepared, and they start to cook the fish.
"Is it really fugu (blowfish) sashimi? Master Bo, are you a time traveler?" Ning Que exclaimed, incredulous.
