Although it was just a small mobile phone, the impact it had on Tang Xin was indeed immensely huge, almost completely overturning all her worldviews.

The movie stored in Qin Fang's mobile phone was a major foreign production, with incredibly exciting content and explosive plotlines, especially those dazzling special effects and powerful explosive scenes, which even Qin Fang found impressive during his first viewing.

But now, through Tang Xin's eyes, it wasn't just about being amazed by the special effects; it felt more like witnessing a grand battle between gods and demons.

Those airplanes soaring freely in the midair, those cars that raced without horses, and those skyscrapers tens or hundreds of stories tall...

And then there were countless simply-dressed beauties that made her blush and heart race just by looking at them... Of course, perhaps what she cared more about were the clothes, shoes, and bags these beauties wore.

In short, when she thought back to her life within the Tang Sect – it could hardly be called living; it was just muddling along waiting for death.

Tang Xin was completely stunned, still holding the mobile phone in her hand, but the expression on her face was evidently off, although Qin Fang could only see her eyes.

"Miss Tang, to be honest, the outside world has changed a lot. The Tang Sect has been secretive for many years, and perhaps while it has reached higher and farther in the Martial Way, the consciousness of its people has been too disconnected from the outside world for too long."

Qin Fang kindly reminded her that the reclusiveness of the Tang Sect was to prevent the interruption of the sect's lineage, which was not wrong in itself, but avoiding worldly interaction for hundreds of years and even restricting sect members from going out was a bit too arrogant.

Isolation cannot bring about progress, and ultimately can only lead to being phased out... That is the natural law of survival of the fittest, an unchangeable fact.

"Having great martial strength is indeed good, but perhaps you don't know, those ordinary people looked down upon by the Tang Sect have already created incredibly powerful weapons; a small bomb can easily kill hundreds, and even if Martial Arts are cultivated to the peak, they still cannot withstand it..."

Today people outside know that martial strength is no longer the ultimate deterrent, the emergence of various kinds of firearms has made martial artists far less formidable.

Just like the outlaws of Shui Po Liang Shan, one hundred and eight heroes, each a first-rate individual, many with extremely impressive skills – based on Qin's estimate, many of their strengths were at the Grandmaster Level...

But if those times were shifted to now, and these people wanted to become bandits or kings of the mountains again, perhaps just a round of bombardment would kill them all. No need for the hassle of fighting over and over again, never managing to conquer...

"Miss Tang, I won't say too much. If one day you wish to step out of these mountains, feel free to come find me!"

Tang Xin was completely shocked, having watched that movie and seen those daunting scenes, she had no idea they were special effects, and was indeed tremendously startled.

Looking at the stunned Tang Xin, Qin Fang kindly spoke out, for there would be many benefits for him if he could coax this Tang Sect Heroine, whose abilities were a match for his own, out of the mountains.

At the very least, the True Qi she possessed, which was compatible with Qin Fang's, was something he needed very much... just now when Tang Xin let go of her hand, that feeling of compatibility disappeared instantly, and Qin Fang's True Qi calmed down again.

"Without permission, Tang Sect disciples cannot leave the mountains..."

Hearing Qin Fang's words, although Tang Xin was somewhat moved, in the end, she shook her head and declined. The people of the Tang Sect had lived in the depths of the mountains for hundreds of years, although their days weren't as splendid as the outside world, they were quite good, which made them reluctant to leave the mountains...

Qin Fang had no particular feelings about this; success would have been best, but failure was within reason. He and Tang Xin didn't know each other well, and to think that just a few words would persuade her to leave the mountain was unrealistic. Otherwise, there wouldn't be years of the Tang Sect's remaining hidden...

"Miss Tang, I've found the way, it's this way, what about you?"

After strolling in the mountains for a little over an hour, as the daylight began to fade, Qin Fang had found the route to the Nayi Tribe and casually inquired with Tang Xin.

"I still have to walk this way forward..."

Although Tang Xin had never left the mountains, she still knew some of the conditions inside; at least she was very familiar with the route she needed to take care of things, and pointed in another direction.

"It seems we must part ways here!"

Looking at the path, completely different in direction from Qin Fang's, he knew that their stroll together had come to an end.

"Miss Tang, it's getting late, and I shouldn't delay you any further, so let's part ways here. If fate allows, I hope we can meet again..."

Qin Fang clasped his fists, expressing his farewell with proper decorum as befitting the Martial World, for since their paths diverged, and there were others worrying about him, he could not continue to follow Tang Xin.

"Take care! Till fate brings us together again..."

Tang Xin, who obviously hadn't fully recovered from the shock just yet, responded subconsciously by clasping her fists in return upon hearing Qin Fang's words.

Hearing her response, Qin Fang naturally had no reason to stay; he immediately turned and walked in his own direction, soon disappearing into the dense forest, while Tang Xin kept watching his silhouette until it vanished completely... only then did she come somewhat back to her senses.

Looking at the forest now void of his presence, Tang Xin's eyes carried a visible sense of loss, but ultimately, she could only sigh softly and head in the direction she needed to go.

"We'll meet again if fate wills it... but perhaps there won't be such a chance!"

Tang Xin could only lament in her heart... She knew that after this farewell, it would be difficult to have another day of reunion unless their fates were truly intertwined.

"Mobile phone..."

It was only then that she remembered that she still had Qin Fang's mobile phone in her hand, which she had not yet returned to him. Qin Fang himself had forgotten and just walked away...

But by this time, Qin Fang was already far away, and even if she wanted to chase after him, she would not be able to catch up; besides, the terrain in these mountains was quite complicated with no proper paths, and she hadn't even asked him to which tribal village he was heading.

"If we truly are meant to meet again, then when I see you next time, I'll return it to you..."

Holding the mobile phone in her hand, Tang Xin silently made the plan in her heart. Her somewhat despondent mood shifted for the better, and a slight smile even appeared on her face. Walking along, she continued to play games on the phone to pass the idle time...

Life in the mountains was too simple, and if there were such wonderful things to while away the time, Tang Xin was quite satisfied... Except Qin Fang seemed to have forgotten to tell her that mobile phones need to be charged. Even though Qin Fang's phone was specially made and had a relatively longer standby time, it couldn't withstand constant gaming.

Qin Fang also hadn't thought of this, and he was currently worried that Sang Duo and Uncle Wen, not having seen him for a long time, might organize the people from the tribe to come search for him in the mountains, which would be a bit unnecessary to make such a commotion; most critical was that he didn't want Wen Yan to worry about his safety.

The more he thought about this, the faster Qin Fang hastened his pace. He was retracing the route he had taken into the mountains. Although the terrain looked similar everywhere, Qin Fang had made some small marks, so he wouldn't take the wrong path on his return.

"Somebody..."

But about ten minutes or so into his journey, he heard a great commotion ahead, as if many people were entering the mountains. "Could it really be Uncle Wen and the others?"

This path led to the Nayi Tribe, and usually, hunters would enter the mountains in groups of three to five at most; it was rare to see dozens of people mobilizing at once, so it was very likely Uncle Wen and the others.

Today, Qin Fang had helped resolve a conflict for the Nayi Tribe that could have caused many injuries and even deaths. The people of the tribe, living in the mountain, had simple thoughts: whoever was kind to them, they would be kind to in return... Naturally, they were very friendly towards Qin Fang, treating him as a friend of the tribe. Now with Qin Fang in trouble, Sang Duo's call to arms had immediately had many responding, and they set out to search the mountains together.

Although this was just Qin Fang's conjecture, it was not far from the truth; faintly, Qin Fang heard Uncle Wen's voice, which confirmed his guess.

After a moment of thought, Qin Fang took a large wild boar's carcass out of the Props Box. Without caring about the blood and dirt, he carried it on his shoulder and walked towards where the voices were coming from.

Rustle rustle rustle rustle~~

As expected, Qin Fang didn't have to walk far before he heard the rustling of leaves in the forest, and soon dozens of people came out. The two groups bumped into each other almost immediately, and the hunters subconsciously raised their bows and arrows, seemingly ready to act at any moment.

"Hold your fire!"

Luckily, Sang Duo reacted quickly. Being at the forefront, he immediately recognized Qin Fang's presence and shouted loudly.

"Xiao Qin?"

Uncle Wen then parted the crowd and walked towards Qin Fang, looking at him in astonishment and then at the wild boar, weighing at least several hundred pounds on Qin Fang's shoulder, his eyes nearly popping out...

He had been very worried about Qin Fang's safety because he had witnessed how formidable the boar was and wouldn't have organized so many people for a rescue otherwise. (To be continued.
