The fresh wind from the mountains blew into the military camp, breaking the miasma and allowing the soldiers to look up and see the bright moon in the sky. There were exclamations in the military camp, and some people helped the wounded out of the tent. This bright moon was a sight that many people had been longing for.

On the training platform made of white stones, Mofang sat quietly, staring at the mountain with characters printed on it, with a calm expression.

"Here." A pot of wine was suddenly thrown into his arms. Shang Bei turned over and jumped onto the training platform, sitting down next to Mofang, "The injured should not drink alcohol, so I added some water for you, haha."

Mofang shook the kettle, "I don't drink. It will interfere with my work." "Take it whether you drink it or not." Shang Bei raised his head and took a sip of wine, then turned to look at Mofang, "Do you still think that Lord Xingzhi bullied the little prince?" Mofang did not answer, Shang Bei smiled and said, "That Lord has a really strange temper, but take a look and feel the pure atmosphere there. If it weren't for the prince who went there today, even if it was you or me, I'm afraid we would have been purified by such a pure air and our legs would have gone limp."

Mofang nodded. How could he not understand this truth? Even if he couldn't understand it at the time, now looking at the moonlight and feeling the gentle breeze, he understood Lord Xingzhi's considerations. But what Mofang cared about was not this, but...

"Well, come to think of it, the moon has been out for so long, it's time to finish the work. Why haven't the God and the little prince come back yet?"

Mofang held the wine pot tightly, pulled out the cork silently, and drank a mouthful of wine. After the first mouthful, he took the second and third mouthfuls, until his cheeks flushed. Shang Bei felt that it was enough. He smiled and rolled his eyes again and again. He reminded himself again and again to speak tactfully, but when he opened his mouth, he said bluntly: "What do you like about the little prince?" After that, he slapped himself twice.

At this time, the slightly drunk Mofang just stared at the bright moon, muttering to himself: "What? There is nothing I don't like."

Shang Bei was startled when he heard it, and scratched his head: "This is really bad."

At the right time, a white light flashed across the sky. Landing at the main camp, Mofang hurriedly got up and walked around the tent, but saw Xingzhi taking a leaf off Shen Li's head. Shen Li snatched the leaf from his hand without hesitation and said, "I will blow it for you to hear someday."

Xingzhi smiled and said, "Wait for good news." He turned and left. Shen Li did not linger and turned to go into the tent, but when she turned around, she caught a glimpse of Mofang from the corner of her eye. Shen Li paused and called out, "Mofang."

Mofang's eyebrows drooped and he walked over. Shen Li was silent for a while and said, "The Immortal Realm Lord doesn't know that I came out this time. Why don't you go back to the capital first and report the incident to the Immortal Realm Lord, and go back to heal your injuries as well."

Is that... to send him away? Mofang knelt on one knee and nodded his head to accept the order: "Yes."

Shen Li opened her mouth. She smelled the alcohol on him and wanted to tell him that he should not drink when he was injured, but in this situation, it would be better for her not to tell him anything. She turned around and went back to the tent. Only Mofang was left kneeling there, and he didn't get up for a long time.

The next day, Shen Li watched Mofang and his group leave outside the military camp. She sighed in her heart. After thousands of years, she finally met someone who liked her and had the courage to confess his love, but the timing was wrong. If she liked someone, she would give everything to that person. Shen Li didn't know what would happen in the future, but she still had Xingyun in her heart. Even though Xingyun was gone, she couldn't like others, because in that case, she would not be able to live up to her previous feelings, nor would she be able to live up to the friendship of others now.

And... Shen Li felt a pain in her forehead and sighed helplessly. Isn't there still Furongjun?

Shen Li looked up at the much cleaner sky, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little lighter. Today, she would take Xingzhi Shenjun to a sealed place, and the air here would become better, and the soldiers' mood would also improve. She curled her lips, leaned against the fence and folded her hands, feeling that she hadn't been so looking forward to doing something for a long time.

But it was not until the sun was high in the sky that Xingzhi came slowly with lazy steps. Shen Li suppressed her temper and said, "Does the God know what time it is now?" Xingzhi did not respond to her, but asked softly, "Did the leaves blow?"

Shen Li's face froze. Thinking of the green leaves that were blown apart by her last night, she cleared her throat and said, "Let's do business first. Yesterday we talked about two sealed places. We have been to the top of the mountain. Today we will go to the bottom of the lake. There is only a lake in the west. The purification of the top of the mountain yesterday has made the vision much clearer. Let's drive the cloud over there."

"Yeah."

The journey today was smooth, but when she arrived at the lake, Shen Li couldn't help but frowned. The lake water has absorbed miasma all year round and has become turbid. It is better to call it a quagmire than a lake. Xingzhiturned around and said, "Let's go down," as if he didn't notice the dirty water.

Shen Li was stunned and looked up at him in astonishment: "Go down?" She immediately shook her head, "No, the soldiers have never gone down during their patrols. Without the map below, I can't find the way and can't help you. You can go down by yourself, I'll be waiting on the shore."

Xingzhi asked Shen Li with a smile: "Can the prince swim?"

Shen Li was born with a conflict with water. She didn't know any spells related to water, and she certainly couldn't swim. Such a small pond in Xingyun Courtyard could drown her, not to mention this lake of muddy water where you can't see anything. Shen Li was not used to exposing her weaknesses in front of others, but at this time she had to hold her forehead and admit: "No."

"What about the water avoidance technique?"

"No."

Xingzhi nodded, and Shen Li took a step back obediently, but heard Xingzhi say: "In this case, I will hold your hand."

"Huh?" Shen Li was stunned, "Wait..." There was no time for her to refuse. Xingzhi just pinched his fingers, and Shen Li's eyes were dark, but she could hear the sound of bubbles in her ears. Knowing that she was in the water, Shen Li's heart tightened, and the palm of her hand felt the body temperature of another person. Shen Li, who had nothing at this time, had to hold Xingzhi's hand tightly. She held her breath and her whole body was stiff.

"Don't be so nervous." Xingzhi's voice came faintly from the front, "Just breathe like you are on the ground. My water avoidance technique will not be blown away by you."

Shen Li heard this and tried to take a breath. When she found that there was really no water in her mouth, she breathed a sigh of relief and breathed at ease. However, after getting rid of the tension, Shen Li's heart was filled with uncontrollable anger: "You are so unreasonable!"

"If you let go, the water avoidance technique will be useless."

Hearing this, even though there was still anger in her heart, Shen Li also held Xingzhi's hand tightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's pitch black down here, what's the point of dragging me into the water! Let me go up!"

"Because I'm scared to walk alone."

A casual remark was thrown from the front, choking Shen Li for a moment and not knowing how to respond. She choked for a long time before she complained in her heart, "You have lived alone in the outer world for who knows how many years. You have seen all kinds of storms in this world! How can you be afraid of a pool of water! Are you kidding me!"

But thinking of the character on the mountain yesterday, Shen Li thought that this person must have a plan in mind, and there must be a reason for dragging her into the water. She was cautious about this and walked the rest of the way with great caution. But until Xingzhi stopped and whispered, "We're here." Nothing happened along the way.

Shen Li was wondering in her heart, and suddenly saw a flash of light in front of her. She looked closely and saw a strangely shaped stone statue flashing a blue light, and Xingzhi's palm was on the top of the stone statue. He gently closed his eyes and chanted a spell that Shen Li couldn't understand, and the water around him was trembling and shaking. Suddenly, a piece of dust fell from the stone statue, revealing the transparent lens inside. The glittering light made Shen Li's eyes sting slightly. Then, more and more dust fell, and the whole stone statue completely transformed into a solidified icicle!

With the injection of Xingzhi's power, Shen Li felt that the water temperature around her was slowly getting colder, and there seemed to be a stream stirring in the icicle. Suddenly, the water suddenly broke through the top of the icicle and rushed straight up to the lake. Clear and transparent water continued to pour out from the column. The dark and sticky lake water gradually became clean and transparent.

Shen Li looked up at the sunlight above her head that gradually shone through the waves into the bottom of the lake, and her heart was rarely peaceful and clear. This constantly gushing new spring seemed to be poured into her heart, washing away all suspicion and vigilance.

"There will be fish in the lake in the future."

"Of course."

She looked back at Xingzhi: "Aren't there two more seals? What are they? Find them quickly."

"There's no need to worry about the other two." Xingzhi patted the icicle gently, as if to comfort it. He took Shen Li's hand and turned around to walk back. "One is in the land under the martial arts training platform in the military camp. When you go back, ask the soldiers to move out of the way, and then you can seal it. The other one is the fine steel chain that pulls Xu Tianyuan. The chain is in front of Xu Tianyuan."

It turned out that he knew where these things were... Shen Li pondered and murmured, "The one on the top of the mountain is wood, the one at the bottom of the lake is water, the one in the camp is soil, and the one in front of Xu Tianyuan is gold. There are four of the five elements." She frowned, "What about fire? If the five elements are not complete, such a large double seal cannot be used."

Xingzhi smiled: "After dealing with the other two, I will only go to places with 'fire'. Your Majesty, don't worry. Now that Xingzhi is here, he will make this border peaceful." Xingyun turned around and wanted to leave, but the back of his clothes was caught by an icicle. He subconsciously let go of Shen Li's hand and pulled his clothes. When he turned around, he saw Shen Li raising his eyebrows and looking at his palm, then his eyes turned and looked at him subtly.

Xingzhi was stunned, shook his head and smiled: "Exposed." He thought Shen Li would scold him again, but when he looked up, he met Shen Li's stunned eyes. Xingzhi slightly restrained the arc of his lips, and said as he walked forward, "Let's go back."
