Chapter 121 Xiao Jing: "Junior Sister, he says he remembers everything..."

Wen Yizhan was stunned for a long time, but her first words were, "Why did you go there?"

Jiang Yuhuo laughed and said, "I haven't practiced swordsmanship for a long time, and I was afraid I'd become rusty, so I went to the woods to practice for a while."

At this moment, Wen Yizhan's lacerated eye had healed, and her eyeball was clear and bright.

"Your eyes?"

Jiang Yuhuo moved closer; the wound was no longer visible in her eyes, except for a pink scar under her eye.

"So what the letter said was true." Jiang Yuhuo smiled, but her smile seemed a little tired. "When did you get better? If I had known, I would have come back sooner."

She was so close that Wen Yizhan could see the faint dark circles under her eyes. "Seven days ago."

Seven days ago... Jiang Yuhuo did the math and realized that even if she knew, it probably wouldn't work. At that time, she was in the camp outside Shannan County, waiting for an opportunity to kill Qin Yuqi.

She nodded. "That's good."

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as she got back last night, she couldn't wait to check on his condition. Wen Yizhan was fast asleep, so she couldn't see the condition of his eyes.

But the things she brought back were probably useless now, she thought of Li Mengbai's words, "He doesn't need you."

However, this is a good thing.

Wen Yizhan smiled and pinched her cheek, his eyes full of tenderness. "You've worked hard. I saw everything. I'll eat it all."

Jiang Yuhu shook her head, "No, since you're already better, why eat it? It's not like it's a tonic."

"Who said I'm better?" Wen Yizhan deliberately raised her voice and winked at her, "Ouch, it still hurts a little. Look, look, my eyelids are starting to twitch..."

Jiang Yuhuo finally laughed out loud, "Alright, I'm fine." She looked at him steadily, "As long as you recover, that's all that matters."

Wen Yizhan felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, looked away and muttered softly, "At least she has some conscience, so why doesn't she reply to my letters?"

Jiang Yuhuo was slightly taken aback. Li Mengbai had previously said that he did not want her to reveal his information to others, and she did not want her senior brother to worry anymore. Everything was in the past.

She turned her head away. "It's nothing, I was just busy and forgot."

Wen Yizhan knew she didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't ask anymore, but she felt a little depressed.

His junior sister has a secret about him.

Wen Yizhan's hand brushed past her shoulder, where a flying insect landed, and he naturally brushed it away for her. "Then, junior sister, would you like to know how I recovered?"

Jiang Yuhuo looked up upon hearing this, "How is it?"

Wen Yizhan chuckled softly, her finger gently brushing across the tip of her nose. "I knew you'd be curious."

He said seriously, "I don't want to hide it from you..."

Halfway through her sentence, the flying insect flew back to Jiang Yuhuo's side, refusing to let it go.

Wen Yizhan frowned and reached out to crush the blind fool.

"ah--"

The flying insect suddenly shrieked and darted away, landing on the ground and transforming into a dirty little girl. As soon as she appeared, she hid behind Jiang Yuhuo, crying, "Auntie, save me!"

Suddenly, a person appeared out of nowhere, startling both of them.

Jiang Yu pulled the person out from behind her. The girl was dressed in tattered clothes and had her hair disheveled. She was the little girl who had followed her all the way in Yanling City the day before.

Jiang Yuhuo asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

The little girl took Jiang Yuhuo's hand with ease, looked up at her, and said confidently, "Wherever Auntie goes, I will go."

"I've already said, I'm not your aunt."

Hearing the same words again, the girl stomped her foot in anger and said angrily, "You are, you are! You have a red mole on your left shoulder and a burn scar on your right arm. I turned into a bug yesterday and crawled inside to see it. You are my aunt!"

Wen Yizhan's eyes widened slightly.

The little girl's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke, "You just don't want to take me with you. You left without a word yesterday. If I hadn't been waiting outside the door, I would have been unable to find you again."

Who exactly are you?

Jiang Yuhuo was utterly shocked; she possessed both of the characteristics the woman mentioned.

"I'm Xiao Jing." The little girl looked at her in disbelief, her dark, bright eyes welling up with tears. "Auntie, you really don't remember me?"

These eyes are almost identical to the eyes of this body.

“You can’t forget me, no matter who you forget! We played together every day. You said you watched me grow up and that we were the best of friends in the world!” She sniffled, tears welling up in her eyes. “But later, Father… Father and Aunt Ming wouldn’t let me look for you.”

"They say you went on a long journey to see immortals, and you'll never come back. I want to go to the immortal mountain to find you, but Master Zhou won't teach me the magic to get there..."

"Hmph! You wouldn't let me up the mountain, but I still found you."

“Auntie, you really have become an immortal.” She clung to Jiang Yuhuo’s arm, her tears still wet on her face, and laughed. “You have no idea how happy I am. You no longer have to lie in bed all the time, and you can go wherever you want.”

It's a pity I forgot about her.

She had heard that cultivators had to undergo marrow cleansing and bone-removing, so her aunt must have had her memories erased as well.

Jiang Yuhuo coldly brushed her hand away.

She understood. She was indeed this person's aunt, or rather, this body belonged to the aunt of the girl named Xiao Jing before her. After the original owner died, her family probably felt it was too cruel to tell the child the truth, so she always believed that her aunt was still alive.

"This is not a place for you. Where do you live? I'll take you home."

Jiang Yuhuo summoned, and in an instant, a roc descended from the sky onto the open ground in front of the courtyard. She immediately picked up the person and was about to place him on the roc's back.

As she said, she should have a group of relatives around her. Therefore, she should go back to her relatives, instead of staying with a fake aunt who has been replaced.

Xiao Jing struggled desperately, but her aunt's strength suddenly became so great that she was forced to sit on the bird's back.

"I'm not going back! I want to stay with you, and you can't get rid of me!" The filthy woman screamed on the back of the roc, which was bigger than her, her voice distorted with anger. "You've changed! You've become an immortal and now you've turned your back on me! How could you become like this!"

"I hate you, I hate you! Let me go!"

Wen Yizhan roughly knew about her relationship with Jiang Yuhuo, but she was so annoyed by her nagging that she deliberately scared her, "Your aunt doesn't want you anymore. If you keep nagging, I'll help her throw you off the mountain."

"You dare!" Xiao Jing wasn't easily intimidated either. She glared back fiercely, baring her white teeth as if she wanted to bite him.

Wen Yizhan was amused by her appearance.

At only twelve or thirteen years old, he had a fierce look, but his bright black eyes showed no fear.

He recalled Jiang Yuhuo from back then, who was just like a little beast, biting his hand.

Wen Yizhan turned to look at Jiang Yuhuo, "Junior Sister, are you really not considering keeping her?"

He was already taking care of a group of children on Wuya Peak, so taking care of one more child wouldn't hurt. After all, she was his junior sister's niece, so he didn't find it troublesome.

“No.” Jiang Yuhuo was adamant. Regardless of the fact that she was not her real aunt, her current life of fighting and killing was not suitable for keeping an ordinary girl by her side. Her relatives were still alive, so she should return to her relatives.

Wen Yizhan awkwardly touched his nose, not knowing what else to say, even though he really wanted to help his junior sister take care of his little niece.

But a young girl who dares to follow Kunlun Mountain all the way is not someone who can be manipulated.

As the two were talking, Xiao Jing stared at a fly spinning on the ground and silently recited an incantation. Taking advantage of Jiang Yuhuo's inattention, she suddenly transformed into a fly and broke free from Jiang Yuhuo's restraints.

Jiang Yuhuo felt her hand go empty and immediately reached out to grab it, but the fly wouldn't stay still, darting up and down in the air and frantically shaking its wings. Afraid of hurting it, Jiang Yuhuo didn't use her spiritual power immediately, but who knew it would be so agile, buzzing all the way into the woods.

She left everyone behind her and Xiao Jing went even further into the depths of the mountains and forests.

Hmph! They all want to get rid of her, but she'll refuse to let them catch her!

"This..." Wen Yizhan stared at the changing person for a long time without saying a word.

They were quite unconcerned with details, not caring about flies or insects at all.

Jiang Yuhuo was somewhat troubled. Xiao Jing might know some magic, but her level was easy to discern. Compared to a true cultivator, her spiritual power was as shallow as a puddle. She could only be said to be slightly stronger than an ordinary mortal, but in the eyes of a cultivator, it was far from enough.

Although Kunlun Mountain is the location of the immortal sects, it is rich in spiritual energy and many spiritual beasts live there. Even for cultivators, it cannot be considered a safe place.

In other words, it's dangerous for her to be running around here.

"Don't worry, I'll go and bring her back." Wen Yizhan saw the slight fatigue on her face and comforted her, "You just got back, you must be tired from your journey, rest for a while first."

“No need.” Jiang Yuhuo waved his hand. “It’s not too late to rest after we catch her. She’s just a fly; she probably can’t run very far.”

But they underestimated the fly's ability to escape. From dawn till dusk, the two searched every inch of Zhenyang Peak, but they still couldn't catch her.

That's true. Flies can't run very far, but they are very good at hiding.

"I'm exhausted, I need to rest for a bit. This little brat is quite good at hiding."

Wen Yizhan sat on the tree, tossed one of the wild fruits she had just picked to Jiang Yuhuo, and kept one for herself. She took a bite, and the sourness made her grimace.

Jiang Yuhuo was under the tree. The wild fruit in her hand looked ripe. She took a bite and found it to be sweet.

During a break, she suddenly remembered what Wen Yizhan hadn't finished saying and asked, "Senior brother, you forgot to tell me how you recovered."

Wen Yizhan was taken aback when he heard this. After being interrupted by the little girl, he hadn't forgotten, but he suddenly didn't want to bring it up anymore.

For a moment, he felt that God was preventing him from speaking.

If he hadn't said anything, she wouldn't have remembered that "old friend," nor would she have known that the "old friend" had remembered her, or that the "old friend" still thought of her.

Let it go. Don't dwell on the past. Since I couldn't protect you back then, why should I come back to you now?

That's how the fishing lights on the Kunlun Mountains were created.

Keep moving forward and don't look back.

“It was that merman. He brought the Earth Flame Vine and said... you are an old friend of his, and he thanks my master and me for taking care of you all these years.”

"Junior sister, he said he remembers everything."

Wen Yizhan heard her own voice.

He could never hide it from her.

She should know the truth and then make her own judgment. Whether she follows the merfolk or stays in Kunlun Mountain, he respects her choice.

It was dusk, the world was bathed in warm colors, and the wind pushed the clouds to flow slowly, bringing back a series of memories to mind.

The sound of swords ringing in the wind, and the cracking sound of rocks splitting in the distance, startling flocks of birds into flight, suggests that disciples from some peak are practicing diligently against the mountain wall.

Since the moment when an unknown disciple of the sect made a stunning sword move in the competition, the disciples of Kunlun Mountain have become much more diligent.

The person in the tree lowered their eyes, while the person below looked up. Their eyes met, and the sound came from afar, eventually fading into silence.

Jiang Yuhuo smiled and said, "What makes him so special?"
