Suddenly, Bai Hao beside him grabbed Dongfang Shiming's clothes and shook him twice: "Hey, look, he's here."
Dongfang Shiming and Fu Yunge raised their eyes together. I saw Zuichenxiang walking with a few people from the Jiumeng and saying goodbye to them.
The two of them also stepped forward to greet him. The horses behind kicked up the dust and blew it into the air with the wind.
"Senior, we are leaving." Dongfang Shiming stepped forward and said in a gentle tone, "Please pay more attention to your health and drink less alcohol."
Zui Chenxiang nodded, then quickly shook his head: "It's okay, I'm used to it."
"You guys... have a good journey." Zui Chenxiang said, his eyes methodically shifted from Dongfang Shiming's face to Fu Yunge's face, and finally back to Dongfang Shiming's face, "...especially you. There are some things that you should be open-minded about. Being confused is not a bad thing."
Dongfang Shiming naturally knew that the senior's warning meant something. He hesitated for a moment and then agreed: "This is natural. Thank you for your advice, senior."
Fu Yunge and Bai Hao both turned to look at him. Bai Hao knew better. Although Fu Yunge didn't know that well, he was very concerned about it.
"It's... getting late. You should leave as soon as possible."
Zui Chenxiang simply waved his hand, as if he didn't want to spend much time on this kind of thing.
Dongfang Shi knew his senior's temperament and didn't say any more. Several people bowed their hands to him as a last courtesy, then turned around and got into the car.
As Fu Yunge finally entered the carriage, Hu Gan swung his horsewhip at the front, causing the carriage to tremble and speed up to leave. Several cars drove away together, and the dust in the two lanes filled the field of vision in front of the mountain gate.
Until a moment later, there was no trace of the carriage or horse in front. Zui Chenxiang waved to everyone and turned back.
"The rising star... It seems that there is no need to worry about this disaster."
Zuichenxiang's voice quickly dissipated in the air and was not picked up by anyone. But he was just talking to himself, as if he was talking to someone. He didn't know who the person he was thinking about was.
…………
The distant shadow of the sky, the lower realm of the East China Sea. The lonely figure drifts, standing alone, eyes cast on the empty sea.
The weather is getting cooler, and the wind at the beach is even more chilling. This person's clothes were rolled up quickly, like a scroll being drawn back and forth, giving him a somewhat free and easy attitude.
The long sword on his back is embroidered with plum blossoms, and its roots are dancing.
Looking at Hai Bo alone like this, he felt extremely calm, but also a little uneasy. His eyes looked at the gray sea and sky, seemingly without a clue, yet they seemed to be staring at something.
Although, after looking at it for a long time, there was nothing on the other side of the sea except the occasional turbulent waves.
The sky was like sinking sand, gradually getting darker. Poinsettia took a breath of the salty sea breeze, turned around and left with a puff of sleeves.
After he left, however, the beach slowly receded. Under the moist sand surface, a transparent drift bottle half inserted in the sand was exposed.
There seemed to be some writing paper hidden inside. But soon it became dark as the sky darkened.

PS: Time flies. After more than 500 days of companionship, the first chapter of "Nine Songs of a Dazzling World" is coming to an end here.
It has been serialized since May last year, but this story was conceived even earlier. I didn’t expect that the first chapter would take so much time and use so many words, but as I started to devote more time to writing, I thought it was worthwhile to refine and polish some plots.
There were indeed some changes made to the characterization and plot arrangements during the period. Looking back now, there are indeed some contents that I think are not satisfactory enough, and some plots that I think are not full enough. It was a little rushed in the later stages, and it really can't be called perfect. But no matter what, it is already here, and I don’t think it should be deleted, except for considering the chain effect of affecting the whole body, and it is also a betrayal to the readers. Afterwards, I will make minor corrections to some of the typos and expression problems to ensure that it does not feel inconsistent when reading. Now that I think about it, I also want to thank the readers who have been following the updates for their tolerance.
Like many previous foreshadowings, this story does not end here. In the original plan, "Nine Songs of a Drifting World" would be a relatively lengthy narrative story divided into chapters, and the fight against Ghost Xiao Changyuan and his Jiuche Xiaoying was regarded as the first milestone in these chapters. Perhaps I should have centralized naming for each major chapter, but it is a pity that due to the large scale of the matter and the caution in naming the chapters, there has not been a satisfactory result to me so far, and this matter can only be postponed for the time being. But I think this matter won't be delayed for long. If readers are willing to give suggestions on this, I will definitely consider it. Everyone is welcome to have wild ideas about this and feel free to let us know.
Stories need people to listen to. During this period, I received a lot of support and criticism from readers, which are of great value to my story creation. I would like to sincerely express my gratitude to all readers, whether on 17K or other channels. "Nine Songs of a Changing World" has maintained a tepid status since its release. It is already very difficult for readers to find "Nine Songs of a Changing World" in such a huge sea of books. And unlike many popular works, it is easy to find a circle of like-minded book friends, so I cherish and appreciate my readers even more.
Then, talking about the plan for the next chapter, there is one thing - a relatively important adjustment. I need to inform readers: due to the complexity of many matters in real life, it should be difficult to maintain the original day in the future. One update status. In the coming time, it may be updated regularly [every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday], and then irregular updates will be added if there is time. All in all, even if you have more than enough ambition but not enough power, you can only make this choice in order to balance your life and the rhythm of renewal after careful consideration. Once the matter is dealt with, "Nine Songs of the Dangerous World" will return to the status of updating once a day. Thank you for your understanding.
After the first chapter is over, the second chapter will be conceived and archived within the next month (which is approximately equivalent to asking for leave). During this period, the wedge part of the second chapter will be updated. One month later, Cheng Mo will meet you with the text of the second chapter of "Nine Songs of the World". Regarding the content of the second chapter, it is a continuation of the first chapter. After eliminating the disaster of Jiuche Xiaoying, Fu Yunge and others battled wits and courage with two mysterious "foreign forces" in the peaceful world. Facing enemies from outside the Three Realms, more new faces to protect the world will appear one by one. Please wait and see for this equally grand and magnificent epic chapter.
