Wanqi Siling
Chapter 521 Discovery
Some people were lucky and unharmed, but others never returned.
Lu Xiaoyao took on several tasks and got hurt a few times. After Lu Xiaoyao's "artistic processing" of the details, the story changed.
Mingmei sat there slowly eating snacks, watching Lu Xiaoyao, who was stoking the fire not far away, and listening to her exaggerated descriptions. Mei Jiu listened with great interest.
"Wow, are those evil spirits really that scary? With such big pincers?"
"Of course! And there are those that like to suck people's brains out!"
"Eww! How disgusting!"
"Right? If I hadn't been clever, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
Mingmei couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard Lu Xiaoyao combining the images of the Zerg and the evil spirits in this game.
One dared to listen, and the other dared to ask.
Mingmei had heard that Lu Xiaoyao was injured, so she made a special trip to the medicine hall often visited by injured disciples in the mountain gate, and she met Lu Xiaoyao there.
In two beds, one was Lu Xiaoyao, and the other was Zhen Po. If they hadn't been seriously injured, they wouldn't have been there.
At that time, she also heard Zhen Po and Lu Xiaoyao passing the buck to each other.
One disliked the other for being reckless, and the other disliked the other for being cowardly.
If they hadn't been rescued by passers-by, they might have been eliminated.
Now that the injuries had just healed, Lu Xiaoyao was here telling tall tales to children!
Where was her conscience?
Lu Xiaoyao's "artistic processing" successfully attracted Mei Jiu, who had been well-protected by her family and had never fought.
"Wow! So exciting! When I establish my foundation next year, I want to go down the mountain to eliminate evil spirits too!"
"Yeah, when you, when… um??" Lu Xiaoyao's tone changed, and she glared at Mei Jiu, "What did you say you were doing next year?"
If she remembered correctly, Mei Jiu would only be seven years old next year, right?!
"Going down the mountain to eliminate evil spirits next year?" Mei Jiu tilted her head and looked at Lu Xiaoyao, "Or… establishing my foundation? Is it difficult? I'm almost at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, and my dad said I should break through next year."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyao clutched her chest, feeling very depressed.
The gap between people was too big, to the point where she didn't want to say anything!
She had heard of Mei Jiu's reputation, but because Mei Jiu didn't show off her cultivation or fight when she played with her, she was just like an ordinary child, she almost forgot that Mei Jiu was a genius.
Then, Mingmei suddenly felt Lu Xiaoyao's gaze. She looked up and met Lu Xiaoyao's eyes, only to see the other party suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, her expression confusing her.
Did she do anything?
To make Lu Xiaoyao look at her.
"Speaking of which, that blockhead hasn't come recently~"
Mingmei suddenly heard Mei Jiu say something about a "blockhead," and curiously turned her head to look at Mei Jiu. Lu Xiaoyao seemed to remember something, blinked her eyes, and suddenly opened her mouth to smooth things over, "Hey~ It seems to be something with his sect, he went back a few days ago."
"Ah? He went back too?" Mei Jiu opened her mouth, then closed it again, and said, "Everyone's gone back? Not staying here to play for a few days?"
"You give people nicknames when they're here, and now that they're gone, you want to play with them." Mingmei shook her head, thinking that Mei Jiu was still young and had the mentality of a child, wanting to get close to others by angering them first.
"But… who are you talking about when you say 'blockhead'?" The atmosphere instantly dropped when Mingmei asked this question.
Lu Xiaoyao took a deep breath and quickly turned her head away, the little person in her heart already crying bitterly.
Wuwuwu! Too tragic!!!
What kind of amnesia plot is this?
No wonder the boss went back "disheartened"!
Wuwuwuwu!
While Mei Jiu looked at Mingmei in surprise, she seemed to think of something and asked uncertainly, "Sister… Xie Chen… do you still remember him?"
"I remember him." Mingmei frowned, thinking of the guy who had the same face as Mu Chen, but whose dark and stern aura made her dislike him very much.
"I haven't seen him for months. As for you, you should avoid contact with people like that in private."
Mei Jiu, who was about to put her heart back in her stomach, immediately grabbed Mingmei's hand and was about to run out with her.
"What's wrong?"
Even though Mingmei had good physical fitness compared to the cultivating Mei Jiu, she couldn't withstand Mei Jiu's "low-altitude flight." By the time Mei Jiu brought her to her parents, she heard Mei Jiu shouting something bad in her ear.
Mingmei stood there, as if an invisible barrier had formed between her and them standing not far away.
Watching their faces gradually become serious as Mei Jiu said something in horror, Mingmei tilted her head, her eyes a little vacant.
[Guigui, what's going on? Why do I seem to not understand what they're saying?]
Guigui: […Host, there's something wrong with this game. It's not friendly.]
Guigui was probably used to Mingmei having smooth sailing in the game. Now it was restricted in this round, and its host was forgetting things every day due to this damn destiny setting.
Even though it kept reminding her, it was still useless!
[What happened?] Seeing the increasingly worried looks on her family's faces, Mingmei's memories gradually drifted away, as if this had indeed happened before.
…
"Daddy, this is so good. Will you make this food tomorrow too?"
"Daddy, why are you making this today?"
"Mommy, why are we going down the mountain today? Didn't you say you were going into seclusion?"
Scenes of her younger self being "confused" appeared before her eyes, and some blurry memories gradually became clear. What happened after that?
…
"Ah… this place is so beautiful."
A few days later, Mingmei and her father stood in front of a large mountain covered in a sea of pink flowers. These peach blossoms were still in full bloom even though they were past their season.
"This is the Bu Tian Sect's (Divination Heaven Sect) mountain protection formation, a formation that has been perfected by the Bu Tian Sect over more than ten generations. Meimei must never approach it casually in the future."
Ming Yi's instructions were still in her ears, but Mingmei looked at this familiar scene and remembered the house Mu Chen bought in the Starport.
Those things were built there too.
So, Mu Chen really was from the same world as her?
"Let's go, Daddy will take you up." The peach forest gradually changed. A conspicuous path gradually appeared in the originally airtight peach forest.
After the father and daughter passed, the wind blew and the flowers fell, and the path that had been there when they came disappeared again.
Xie Zhen had been testing his little disciple, who hadn't returned for several months, for the past few days. Seeing that his divination and spells were all up to par, he nodded in satisfaction.
After receiving Ming Yi's message, he let Mu Chen leave so he could go see Ming Yi, who hadn't visited for a long time. The last time he visited, he was so irritable when Mei Shi was pregnant that he almost overturned the Bu Tian Sect.
This time, he didn't bring his wife, he brought his daughter.
So, this time, Ming Yi was planning to overturn the Bu Tian Sect himself?
