Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

He couldn't confirm how many years ago he started recording, but he knew it was from when the fragments were separated.

It first fell to the bottom of the valley, mixed with a pile of corpses and bones. After an unknown amount of time, perhaps dozens of springs and summers, it was burned along with other corpses by a passing corpse collector, and then mixed with the ashes and buried underground.

Many years later, a man found it.

The man must have planned it and knew its function early on. He was ecstatic when he saw it, and then used the ability contained in it to practice. As expected, he made rapid progress.

This fragment just flowed into the world, passed through countless hands, and finally... returned to him.

Mo Hanyu stared at the palm of his hand in a daze. After a long time, he finally came back to his senses. He slowly concentrated and looked at the black silk thread that appeared in the palm of his hand.

The black line is under the skin because the fragment has not been completely dissolved, but it will disappear soon and is not a big problem.

Mo Hanyu put down his palm and looked at the wide variety of specialties under his hands with complicated eyes. Suddenly tears fell, and the hot water droplets hit the back of his hand, burning it painfully.

He could see those records, so he naturally knew how Qin Xiao hid himself.

Qin Xiao...

Mo Hanyu's eyes showed pain and he felt a little powerless.

I had clearly made up my mind to ignore him...

Mo Hanyu lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and sighed deeply.

What should he do with him...

……

Qin Xiuyun was very uneasy.

Because of the news from Qin Xiao College, and also because Qin Xiao seemed to be injured in this incident.

At this time, Qin Xiuyun was sitting cross-legged on Lieju's back, hugging his arms and thinking hard about how to solve the problem.

After this incident, the academy would certainly not let him off easily, but if you really think about it, Qin Xiao didn't do anything evil, but those methods...

They would not agree to let Qin Xiao continue his studies.

what to do……

Qin Xiuyun held his forehead with his hand, feeling the pain.

Suddenly, Qin Xiuyun paused and looked to the side. Although all he saw was clouds and mist, he felt something.

Something is coming this way quickly...

As soon as Qin Xiuyun had this thought, a shadow passed by and landed beside him before he could react.

Qin Xiuyun was startled and turned around suddenly, seeing a woman in gray with her arms folded, looking at him expressionlessly.

"you--"

Qin Xiuyun's nerves were stretched to the limit, and he stared at her warily.

He didn't feel any fluctuation of Qi from this woman. There were only two possibilities: this woman was either an ordinary person, or... her cultivation was far higher than his.

Qin Xiuyun certainly didn't think that the person he met in the sky would be an ordinary person.

"Give me a ride." The woman said, and sat down.

Qin Xiuyun: ???

Qin Xiuyun was stunned.

Qin Xiuyun couldn't understand.

Qin Xiuyun was unbelievable.

Just sit down like that! ?

But no matter how surprised Qin Xiuyun looked at her, the woman seemed not to feel it and just closed her eyes.

Qin Xiuyun: ...

Qin Xiuyun frowned slightly and looked at him.

The woman seemed to be very old. Although her face was young and beautiful, her eyebrows were all gray, and even her pupils were gray. There were strange lines on her forehead, and her eyes were indifferent. She always looked at people with disdain.

The woman was wearing a gray-white robe without any patterns on it. The robe was loose and baggy, which contrasted with her thin body. The robe was blown by the wind, revealing a large area of ​​her pale chest and slender limbs.

But for some reason, there is always a hint of death around him.

"Oh my god, couldn't you wait for me?"

The sound exploded in his ears again, and Qin Xiuyun turned around, but this time he was not too surprised.

He felt this woman, and everything about her was normal.

The woman was wearing a blood-red outfit that showed off her slender figure to the fullest. She was holding a red umbrella, and her black pupils did not reflect a single light.

"..."

The woman in gray didn't say anything, and didn't even glance at him.

"I'm asking you a question, why are you ignoring me?" the woman in red persisted.

"Shut up." The woman in gray finally spoke, but her words were so emotionless.

Qin Xiuyun was surprised at her cold attitude, but when he looked at the woman in red, she didn't seem hurt by her coldness. Instead, she looked as if she was used to it.

"You guys..." Qin Xiuyun opened his mouth, wanting to ask something.

"Eh? Who are you--?" The woman in red looked at him, also seeming a little strange, and spoke in a long tone, thinking about something.

"His name is Qin Xiuyun."

Unexpectedly, the woman in gray said his name.

Qin Xiuyun slowly turned around and glanced at her: "Do you know me?"

"Shouldn't I know that?" the woman in gray replied coldly.

“You…oh, it’s you—” The woman in red slapped her forehead and suddenly realized, “It’s you!”

"Uh……"

"Hello, hello. My name is Ye Lanshu." The woman in red suddenly stepped forward, grasped Qin Xiuyun's hand, and introduced herself with a smile, "I forgot how old I am, but I'm older than you. I'm good at singing opera, and my hobby is-"

Qin Xiuyun felt like he was holding a piece of ice. His seemingly white and tender fingers were cold and stiff, just like... a dead person.

Qin Xiuyun smiled politely, and noticed out of the corner of his eye that even though the woman's hands had left the umbrella, the umbrella was still suspended in the air, following them closely.

The red woman seemed to notice Qin Xiuyun's focus. The hand she was holding suddenly became warm, and her skin became much softer, no longer as stiff as before.

She must have noticed...

Qin Xiuyun continued her words calmly, thinking frantically in his mind who they were and whether he had ever met them.

"Where... are you going?" Qin Xiuyun paused for a moment, but still asked, his eyes slightly scrutinizing.

"Eh?" The red-dressed lady named Ye Lanshu was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I remember his name was... Yang Tianzhou? If nothing goes wrong, he should be going the same way as you."

"How... did you know I was going there?"

"You know that without even thinking about it." Ye Lanshu laughed.

"...How do you know me?"

"You were very famous more than ten years ago, right? Isn't it normal to know you? Haha..." Ye Lanshu laughed.

Qin Xiuyun didn't say anything and just smiled.

wrong.

There was no smile in Qin Xiuyun's eyes, he was just looking at her.

She is lying.

And it was an obvious and low-level lie. The fact that she could tell such a lie showed that she didn't care whether she was exposed or not.

Qin Xiuyun didn't know what the two of them were doing or why they knew him, but since there was no danger in their current contact, he put aside his doubts and stopped asking questions.

"But we haven't been to that place yet. Is it fun?" Ye Lanshu suddenly asked.

"Ah... the scenery there is nice, and the climate is good too." Qin Xiuyun was stunned at first, then thought for a moment and replied, "But the food is a bit spicy, which is not very suitable for me."

"Spicy? I like it." Ye Lanshu became interested and asked, "Can you treat us to a meal?"

"……what?"

You're so welcome.

Qin Xiuyun was shocked by her matter-of-fact attitude.

"...I still have something else to do, so I'm afraid it's not convenient." Qin Xiuyun wanted to decline.

"No." Ye Lanshu secretly glanced at the expression of the woman sitting quietly next to her, smiled and held his hand, "Just take us to have a look, it's just a meal, it won't take much time."

Mainly because Mang Ling seemed angry, and I wanted to calm him down...

Ye Lanshu also felt bitter.

When Ji Meng brought the news, she clearly saw that Mang Ling's face darkened, and an extreme sense of destruction burst out from him, making the creatures on the mountain wonder if he would suddenly go berserk.

Fortunately, he just had a gloomy face, black smoke came out from between his fingers, and he stared at the black smoke for a while without saying a word, and then said, "I understand."

Everyone could see that he was in a bad mood, so no one dared to mess with him in the past two days. After two days of silence, he transformed into a female body and set off. She was afraid that he would be too cruel to Xiao in anger, so she followed him after getting permission.

Ye Lanshu truly felt that she had made the right trip. Not only did she see different scenery, but she also met Xiao's father.

Ye Lanshu looked at the man in front of her who was hesitant to speak, and seeing that he didn't show any particular resistance, she nodded to herself: "Then it's settled, thank you!"

Qin Xiuyun: ...

Qin Xiuyun couldn't find words to describe his feelings at the moment.

Where does such a self-willed person come from?

Return it once and it’s two?

One of them sat down without saying anything and asked him to give him a ride, while the other one was even more exaggerated and directly asked him to treat him to a meal.

Sure enough, no matter how outrageous the plot in a story book is, it still needs logic.

But reality doesn't require it.

The main reason was that Qin Xiuyun felt that the two of them were not the kind of people who liked to eat food given out of pity, so why were they so... strange?

Qin Xiuyun didn't understand why he was worried about Qin Xiao. He felt that he was no match for the woman in gray. Although he felt puzzled, when he arrived at Yangtianzhou, he still took them to a restaurant with a good reputation at the time, ordered a table, and prepared to leave.

"No hurries?"

Unexpectedly, the woman in red pulled me back and said with a smile.

"Let's go together. It would be a shame if you spend money and don't eat a bite yourself."

"No, I still have things to do..." Qin Xiuyun evaded.

"Oh, I told you not to worry, it's not a matter of life or death..." Ye Lanshu seemed to be hinting, "Sometimes when you encounter something, it might be better to take more time to think about it calmly from a different perspective."

Qin Xiuyun paused and looked at her.

But she had already shifted her gaze to the dishes on the table, and her mouth-watering look made people's appetites whet.

Qin Xiuyun noticed something strange in her words, was silent for a moment, and then sat down.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing." Ye Lanshu picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth with a satisfied expression, "I'm just giving you some advice."

Qin Xiuyun frowned, looked at her, then looked at the silent woman in gray, his brows deepening.

Mang Ling sat by the side, watching Ye Lanshu eat quietly, occasionally looking at the scenery outside the window.

"You really don't want to eat it? It tastes good." Ye Lanshu asked her.

"No need." Mang Ling said calmly, "Hurry up."

"I already told you... don't be so impatient."

Qin Xiuyun didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the woman in red spoke to the woman in gray in a much softer voice and wasn't as confident as before.

Mang Ling glanced at her and said nothing.

Although Ye Lanshu said that, she finished the meal in no time at all and patted her belly to indicate that she was ready to set off.

Qin Xiuyun thought they could finally go their separate ways and hurriedly said goodbye, but he didn't expect the two to follow him.

Qin Xiuyun: ...

Qin Xiuyun glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but sigh.

"Good fortune will be sighed away." Ye Lanshu said with a smile.

Qin Xiuyun: ...

This was the first time Qin Xiuyun felt so tired.

When they reached the entrance of the academy, Qin Xiuyun entered smoothly, but they were blocked outside.

It’s really strange…

Qin Xiuyun frowned slightly as he looked at the woman in red who kept touching the magic membrane.

Whether she relied on the umbrella in her hand to fly into the sky or relied on herself, she was always going to enter the stage of Qi cultivation. Judging from the speed she showed, she should have broken through the Chen realm long ago. Why...

The woman in gray was even more puzzled. He could confirm that her strength was above his, so why was she still isolated by the magic membrane?

Just when Qin Xiuyun was puzzled, Ye Lanshu confirmed after many attempts that she could not get in.

"There's nothing we can do. This thing seems to have some restrictions." Ye Lanshu shrugged, "Let's not destroy it—"

Before she finished her words, Mang Ling stepped in. Although the magic membrane reacted and tried to isolate her, there was no room for resistance. It shattered as she entered.

The extremely flexible magic membrane was like fragile thin ice when facing Mang Ling. It shattered into pieces without even any effort.

The magic circle suddenly broke, attracting a lot of attention from the surroundings. However, Mang Ling continued to move forward without any pause, as if he didn't feel anything.

There was chaos in front of the academy, not only because the membrane was broken, but also because of the reason why it was broken.

But because the gate of the academy was wide, no one noticed the condition of Mang Ling for a while. They just thought that it was damaged during the hundred years of use and it had reached its limit today. After discussion, they decided to replace it with a new one.

Mang Ling didn't pay attention to those things. He walked in slowly and locked onto Qin Xiao's position at the first moment.

"...let's go."

Mang Ling's aura seemed to fluctuate, but it quickly recovered. After calmly saying two words, he walked in that direction.

On the other side, Qin Xiao also felt it, not only Mang Ling, but also... his father.

Qin Xiao froze.

"what happened?"

Qi Yulang was a little confused when he saw him suddenly like this.

"My...father is here." Qin Xiao said with some complexity.

Qi Yulang paused: "Then let's go and meet your father."

Qi Yulang said this, but saw Qin Xiao's expression of resistance, and was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"And... my master." Qin Xiao felt Mang Ling's breath and was almost 100% sure that he was angry.

Mang Ling when she was angry... He was a little afraid to face her.

But whether you dare or not, you will have to face it eventually.

So when Qin Xiao came in front of Mang Ling, Qin Xiuyun and the others, his forced smile looked ugly.

Although Mang Ling appeared in female form, he still recognized her at the first sight.

Qin Xiuyun first looked at him, and after confirming that he was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward to say something -

Mang Ling moved.

She walked forward slowly and kicked Qin Xiao in front of Qin Xiuyun's puzzled look.

This kick sent Qin Xiao flying several miles away, smashing several walls in the process. He finally hit the trunk of a spiritual tree planted nearby, barely stopping himself and sinking deep into a pit.

Qin Xiao was trembling all over as he slowly crawled out. Just as he landed on the ground, he knelt down and spit out a mouthful of blood the next second!
