Kikyo said nothing, simply turned around silently and continued walking toward the village.
A group of young children looked puzzled but didn't think much of it, and continued chirping about their previous topics, following beside the witch sister towards the village... Only Xiao Ye stood frozen on the spot, and after coming to her senses, she glared angrily at the old monk.
Being quite young, she naturally couldn't understand the true meaning behind the old monk's words. She only felt that this old man was really annoying, asking Sister Kikyo to leave the village... She understood only up to this point, but even so, she didn't feel happy about it and couldn't help but worry.
She ran to catch up, her small hand tightly grasping the witch's sleeve, closely following her steps.
"Master Qinghai..."
Gu Mo stood there, watching Kikyo and the big group of children walk farther and farther away, then turned his head and plainly said.
"Hmm? Why, do you... did you know me before?"
