The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Chapter 1292 - 1287: Farewell

"Alright, my speech is over. Now, you can obediently roll out and live your lives. Remember, you can’t kill the island natives, or else..."

The Witch stopped speaking halfway, turned around, and walked to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao showed a satisfied smile: "Thank you, Uncle Master."

"Thank me?" The Witch’s eyes carried a hint of confusion.

Qin Hao chuckled and said, "Uncle Master, there’s no need to pretend. You did all this for me, right? Really, thank you."

The Witch said nothing more, turned his head to glance at the departing crowd, and coldly said, "Actually, you’re overthinking it. I don’t kill them out of mercy. Rather than letting them simply die, it’s better to let them become prey on the island, suffering fear and torment!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao felt a sudden chill in his heart.

He suddenly remembered that when leaving, the Witch specifically instructed him that outsiders were not to kill natives.

Isn’t this considered cheating?

Because outsiders cannot kill natives.

But that doesn’t mean natives can’t kill outsiders, does it?

Thinking of this, Qin Hao felt even colder inside, and looked at the Witch with newfound fear.

This person’s obsession with Loose Cultivators and Ancient Martial Families is truly deep.

If he were placed in the external world, perhaps even Huaxia would face a disaster!

Fortunately, the Witch showed no intention of leaving, and he turned his head, seemingly seeing through Qin Hao’s thoughts, and replied, "Rest assured, I have no interest in the outside world anymore. This Celestial Dragon Island, unless something unexpected happens, will be where I spend my retirement."

"Uh, don’t overthink it, Uncle Master, I didn’t mean it that way..."

Despite his words, Qin Hao felt greatly relieved inside. He turned his thoughts and asked, "Uncle Master, you just said you had no interest in the outside world. Doesn’t that mean if you wanted, you still have the ability to leave?"

Since the Celestial Dragon Order was destroyed, Qin Hao had to start planning a new path.

He knew the Witch had entered the island exceptionally, so surely he had a way to leave the island as well.

"Eager to leave so soon, am I really such a bothersome old man?"

The Witch’s voice intensified slightly.

"Uh... of course not, Uncle Master, don’t overthink it..."

Qin Hao laughed awkwardly, "If you wish, Uncle Master, I could accompany you on the island to enjoy your retirement..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Vini Jones, Ah Sang, and Xinmu’s expressions changed.

If Qin Hao truly intended to stay on the island forever, the three of them wouldn’t have a reason to leave.

The three couldn’t help but grow concerned.

The Witch stared at Qin Hao for three seconds, then laughed, "Even if it’s a lie, I still like to hear it. Your heart is enough. As the sole heir of the Five Elements Sect, you need to go out to the world and spread the prestige of our sect, so you must leave."

Receiving such a response, Qin Hao breathed a huge sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Phew, thank goodness Uncle Master isn’t too straightforward."

Just as he was about to speak, the Witch waved his hand and said, "Well then, there’s no time like the present, go ahead and leave the island now."

"Just like that?"

Qin Hao and the others were a bit stunned, but the Witch had already turned and walked away.

The group exchanged glances and could only follow along.

Then, they followed the Witch through the forest to the island’s periphery.

The beach was dotted with numerous shellfish creatures.

In the distance, the waves were faintly visible in the mist.

The trees behind were exceptionally lush.

This scene was very beautiful, and in Qin Hao and the others’ hearts, it stirred a bit of reluctance to leave.

The Witch stood on the beach, hands behind his back, gazing at the misty sea, maintaining this position for a long time.

In his cloudy eyes, it seemed that the mist no longer appeared elusive, and everything about the sea seemed within his view.

After an unknown amount of time, the Witch sighed softly, "Rise!"

Then, he lightly pointed his finger.

No change occurred, and just when Qin Hao and the others were puzzled...

Whoosh!

The beach began to change, continuously sinking, caving in.

The sand seemed to fall into a hole, making continuous sounds.

Soon, a meter-wide hole appeared out of thin air, and the Witch pointed to it saying, "You can go now."

"This..." Qin Hao was quite puzzled, but still led everyone to the edge of the hole.

Only upon approaching did he understand.

It turned out there was actually a tunnel hidden at the beach’s edge.

The tunnel had a stone stairway leading downward, and it looked like it extended into the mist.

"Uncle Master, these stairs seem to lead to the sea..."

Qin Hao said, somewhat worried.

It’s not that he’s cowardly, but this situation is just too bizarre.

Stairs leading to the sea, what kind of strange existence is this?

The Witch’s eyes carried a hint of melancholy, "Rest assured, with the protection of the Holy Path, the sea won’t approach you."

Hearing the Witch’s confident words, Qin Hao was reassured.

The Witch is his Uncle Master, and there’s no reason to harm him.

"Squeak squeak!"

Knowing that Qin Hao was about to leave, the silent Monkey King finally spoke up.

A look of human-like longing appeared on its face.

Qin Hao smiled and patted its shoulder, "Brother Monkey, this is where we part ways. If you get the chance to come out, I’ll treat you well!"

"Squeak squeak!"

The Monkey King shook its head in disappointment. Though the words sounded nice, it knew well that it had no chance to go to the outside world.

Because it was never up to it.

With this thought, it looked up, pleadingly staring at the Witch.

The Witch’s cloudy eyes didn’t change, "You can’t go out yet."

"Squeak squeak!"

Upon hearing this, the Monkey King leaped with excitement.

Not being able to go out now meant it could in the future?

That was enough!

After hopping around, the Monkey King hugged Qin Hao’s shoulder with joy.

Qin Hao also laughed. Who would’ve thought, coming to the forest, that he’d make friends with a few good Spirit Beasts rather than human friends?

Speaking of friends, Qin Hao couldn’t help but think of the giant elephant’s existence.

"Where’s the little elephant? Not coming to send me off?"

As soon as Qin Hao spoke, a huge roar came from a distance, shaking the earth and mountains.

"Moo!"

Upon hearing that familiar roar, Qin Hao and the Monkey King looked over simultaneously.

In the forest, a massive figure emerged as countless trees fell, and in a few steps, it had reached the seaside.

"Damn! Little Elephant, making such a big scene, are you looking for revenge!"

Qin Hao was startled and immediately hid behind the Monkey King.

"Moo!"

The giant elephant swung its trunk towards the sky, then quickly let it fall.

Just as its trunk was about to press down on everyone, its speed slowed, gently touching Qin Hao’s forehead, as if softly petting him.

Finally, Qin Hao’s long-held tension eased, and he laughed, "Little Elephant, it’s not in vain that I cared for you! For you, I say the same, come to the outside world when you can, and I’ll treat you to drinks, meat, and stomp on bad guys!"
