The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 5
Heavenly Venerable Moon was somewhat unconvinced. "I am certain that is what it means! You are not the true Heavenly Venerable Mu, so how would you know I am overthinking it?
" Shen Mu shook his head and offered no further explanation.
The name Mu Qing had been taken from Shen Mu and Shen Fengqing; back then he had believed himself to be Shen Fengqing, and only now did he no longer think so. Heavenly Venerable Moon watched him, her gaze flickering. "He should not be Heavenly Venerable Yun," she thought.
"He should not be. .
. " When they returned to the Xiaohan Heavenly Court, Heavenly Venerable Moon at once ordered the gods of the human race to go to the territory of Divine Emperor Langxuan and relocate the humans living there. She sought out Heavenly Venerable Ling, only to find her beside the Heavenly River, still wholly absorbed in her study of the so-called divine art of immutability. "Sister Ling, Heavenly Venerable Mu has reached an agreement with Divine Emperor Langxuan. The humans within Divine Emperor Langxuan's territory can be relocated here, and we need your help.
. . You found your hairpin? " Heavenly Venerable Moon said in astonishment, looking at the hairpin in Heavenly Venerable Ling's hair.
Heavenly Venerable Ling came back to her senses and raised a hand to her head. Sure enough, her hairpin was there. "It was clearly lost," she said, puzzled.
"How has it appeared again? " She took the hairpin down and examined it over and over, her misgivings growing. The peach-wood hairpin had plainly vanished, and no amount of searching could turn it up; yet now it had reappeared for no reason at all, leaving her at a loss. She put the peach-wood hairpin between her teeth, freed both hands to coil her hair, and slid the hairpin back in.
"Moon, what did you say just now? I did not catch it. " Heavenly Venerable Moon had no choice but to repeat herself.
Heavenly Venerable Ling was rather reluctant, but this was a serious matter, so she set aside her intention to keep studying and went along with her. The two girls walked past Shen Mu, and Heavenly Venerable Ling asked, "How strange. When did my hairpin appear?
" "How would I know? " Heavenly Venerable Moon laughed.
"If you do not know yourself, then I certainly know even less.
Could someone have stolen it and quietly returned it to you? " Shen Mu watched them walk into the distance, his own heart full of doubt.
Two identical objects could not exist in the same space and time at once. Heavenly Venerable Ling's peach-wood hairpin truly ought to have vanished, so why had it appeared again? At this thought, he took out the peach-wood hairpin hidden within the Shen-character continent between his brows. In the distance, Heavenly Venerable Ling gave a cry of alarm, her hair falling loose.
"My hairpin has been stolen again! " she said furiously. Shen Mu's heart lurched, and he hastily sent the peach-wood hairpin back into the Shen-character continent.
A hairpin abruptly appeared once more in Heavenly Venerable Ling's disheveled hair. Heavenly Venerable Moon's voice drifted over. "Is it not still stuck in your hair? " Heavenly Venerable Ling felt for the hairpin and once again held it between her teeth, freeing both hands to fix her hair.
"It vanished all of a sudden just now," she said indistinctly. "I feel that the substance of this hairpin is extremely unstable. There is something strange about it. .
. " Watching this from afar, Shen Mu took the hairpin out once more, and the hairpin between Heavenly Venerable Ling's teeth vanished into thin air.
Heavenly Venerable Ling was furious.
"Damnation, who did that? Show yourself and die!
