What is the one-character name (11)

Li Zhaoyue stood up and walked in the direction she pointed. When she was about to enter the passage, she turned around and stared at Yue Jinhuan.

"I think that dream is true. I seem to really know you." She tasted the bitterness in her heart and smiled cautiously. Although she looked sad, she had tried her best to restrain herself.

She had a feeling that once she entered this place, she would touch the boundary of something.

"Although I can't tell whether the person in the dream is me or the person now is me, I think you must have been waiting for me for a long time."

There seemed to be tears flashing in Yue Jinhuan's eyes.

"So I say sorry for her."

Yue Jinhuan finally couldn't help it and lowered his head to wipe away his tears.

"Let's go," Yue Jinhuan said hoarsely. Li Zhaoyue looked at her in silence, then turned and walked into the passage. The firelight grew dimmer, and the surroundings were once again filled with thick darkness.

The passage is very short and it only takes a moment to get there.

This was a secret room, its walls engraved with strange runes. On the central floor was a massive formation, remarkably similar to the one Li Zhaoyue had seen at Lou Mansion. At the three corners of the formation lay three thick ice coffins. She tried to raise her foot to examine them, but a sudden pull ripped her body.

Points of light gathered from the formation surrounded her, and power gradually flowed into her dried-up meridians. Strange memories gradually revived.

“This is the only way at the moment.”

"What?"

"Summon the gods."

When she opened her eyes again, she was back in Mingguang Hall. Zhu Ming was scanning her with sharp eyes.

"Didn't I tell you not to continue practicing Feng Shui positioning techniques?" she scolded.

Li Zhaoyue was still unaware of the situation and looked at her in confusion. But in Zhu Ming's eyes, this was a naked provocation.

"Do you feel that you have grown wings and don't accept the master's discipline?" These words were very harsh. Li Zhaoyue hurriedly looked at the expressions of others. Wang Kun winked at her and motioned her to look at his hands.

A puppet thread appeared on her wrist. Ye Luan patted Zhu Ming's shoulder and said, "Using Feng Shui techniques might pull others into the space. Your apprentice has been affected."

Zhu Ming didn't listen to him and kept staring at Li Zhaoyue. Finally, he angrily waved his sleeves and left.

Li Zhaoyue sat down on the spot, with his head down and silent.

"Well, we've found the trace of the man in black, so we'll leave first." Wang Kun winked at Lou Guan and said to the remaining people.

Feng Ran nodded, and he pulled Li Zhaoyue up from the ground, wanting to find Xu Xing to leave together, but he found that Xu Xing and Lou Daoyan had disappeared at some point.

Xue Fuqing hadn't said a few words from the beginning until now. At this moment, he walked over silently, took Li Zhaoyue into his arms, and led her out first.

Li Zhaoyue's mind was filled with the disappointment Zhu Ming had seen when he left. His heart felt like it was being roasted on fire, aching and irritated. The four of them reached a pavilion, and Wang Kun breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down on the edge of the pavilion, not caring if he fell into the lotus pond. He shouted, "I was so scared! I was almost caught by that man in black. If I hadn't been so quick and run, I wouldn't be able to stand here safely."

Lou Guan was curious about the appearance of the Destiny Tree and kept asking him questions. Wang Kun was worried that no one would listen, so he just exaggerated and started talking.

On the other side of the pavilion, Xue Fuqing fished out a piece of osmanthus candy from his sleeve and awkwardly handed it to Li Zhaoyue: "I heard you like to eat this, so I'm giving it to you... for you."

Li Zhaoyue looked up in surprise. Xue Fuqing's face turned red immediately. He stuffed the osmanthus candy into her hand and sat aside without saying a word.

"Thanks."

Li Zhaoyue smiled at her, tore open the wrapper of the osmanthus candy, and took a bite. The sweet taste melted in her mouth, but she seemed unable to put all her troubles behind her because of a piece of candy.

"Ayue, why did the master hit you?" A blurry figure appeared in front of him and asked worriedly.

"Because I can't learn, I can't learn magic." She heard her own voice.

"So what if I can't learn any magic? I can't learn those spells from Feng Shui Academy either. Okay, okay, stop crying. I'll take you to buy some osmanthus candy."

Wait, how did she have these memories? She was clearly the only disciple the master had, so how could there be another one?

The osmanthus candy in Li Zhaoyue's hand fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Xue Fuqing had been observing her expression. Seeing that she was pale and looked distraught, he asked hurriedly.

Li Zhaoyue tried desperately to retain the feeling in his memory, but found that the harder he tried, the farther the figure was from him.

"I... I don't know..." As she spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably. Li Zhaoyue hurriedly covered her eyes, but she couldn't control the sadness welling up in her heart.

Wang Kun had been chatting freely with Lou Guan, but when he noticed something was amiss, he hurried over. The three of them surrounded Li Zhaoyue, staring at each other awkwardly, all in a state of panic.

"Hey, are you upset because Elder Zhu scolded you?" Wang Kun suddenly said, "Don't be upset. In fact, in our eyes, you are very cute and kind. Elder Zhu has a bad temper, but that's her problem. You don't have to be sad."

"Yes, yes," Lou Guan agreed, "Feng Shui positioning is so difficult to learn. Junior sister, it's amazing that you can enter the Destiny Tree together!"

"Are you okay?" Xue Fuqing squatted down and asked her. Li Zhaoyue shook her head, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and looked up at Wang Kun: "Can you do me a favor?"

"Me?" Wang Kun pointed at himself and said exaggeratedly.

After a while, Li Zhaoyue and Wang Kun sat opposite each other. Xue Fuqing spread out his hands and wrapped the silk thread around Li Zhaoyue's right wrist and Wang Kun's left wrist respectively.

"This time I have figured out a new method that can find your destiny line and help you find the lost memories you mentioned." Wang Kun said.

"But," he couldn't help but ask, "Are you really sure you've lost your memory?"

Li Zhaoyue recalled the feeling of loss in his heart and nodded with certainty.

"Okay, but I'm not sure if it will succeed." Wang Kun said.

Li Zhaoyue looked at the silk thread wrapped around her hand and said softly, "Let's try it."

The broken memories were barely pieced together into a complete memory.

"Master doesn't really like to take in apprentices, so I'm very happy to see you."

When we met for the first time, she was wearing a goose yellow dress, carrying a wooden sword on her back, and smiling brightly.

"Don't tell Master that I ran away secretly. I'll bring you some sweet osmanthus candy when I come back."

Did she once have a senior sister? Li Zhaoyue struggled to think, and more and more memories suddenly came crashing down on her.

"Master, I don't want to learn swordsmanship. I want to learn Feng Shui!" Li Zhaoyue was still very young at that time, and his height only reached Zhu Ming's waist, but he looked like a little adult with his chest straight.

"No." Zhu Ming refused.

"Why?" Li Zhaoyue asked puzzledly.

"You are dull and Feng Shui requires exceptional talent. You can't do it."

"Why does Master insist I can't do it?" Li Zhaoyue questioned, a bit annoyed. Zhu Ming looked at her coldly. Lin Xian, who was taking a break nearby, pointed at her and said, "Only someone with your senior sister's aptitude is worthy of learning Feng Shui. To be frank, with your poor talent, you're not even worthy of cultivating immortality. If you can defeat her, I'll allow you to learn."

"Master..." Li Zhaoyue's eyes were filled with disbelief. Master had always disliked her; she knew it, she knew it. She had no talent for swordsmanship; what others could learn once, she might not even remember after ten attempts.

But Feng Shui was different. She found joy in learning it after a long time and felt her own existence for the first time, but was completely denied by her closest master.

Why? She looked at Zhu Ming in confusion. But Zhu Ming still looked indifferent and walked away coldly.

"Master, that's how she speaks..." Lin Xian explained with embarrassment on his face. But Li Zhaoyue didn't want to listen at all. Her mind was full of Zhu Ming saying that she was dull and unworthy of cultivation.

"Actually, I think cultivating immortals is all about interest. Maybe you're lacking a little in swordsmanship, but Feng Shui isn't something particularly difficult. The fact that you're interested in it shows you're quite talented. Senior sister supports you..." Before Lin Xian could finish his words, he was pushed away by Li Zhaoyue.

She looked at Li Zhaoyue's tear-filled eyes in astonishment, feeling a little at a loss.

"You are very talented, so of course you think it's not difficult! Master didn't deny you, so of course it doesn't matter to you!" She yelled at Lin Xian and ran away crying.

It was always like this. The master only had eyes for her. She had never heard a word of praise, denial, or blame...

She's had enough!

But... Li Zhaoyue walked out of the gate of Yiziyuan, held back her tears, and looked back sadly.

But Senior Sister wasn't wrong, she was the one who was wrong. How could such a fool dream of becoming an immortal?

Forget it.

She walked out of the courtyard in disappointment.

Maybe she is just suitable to be an ordinary person.

"Have you ever seen a little girl this tall?" Lin Xian gestured to his waist with his hands on the street while talking to an old woman selling osmanthus candy. "She should be carrying an old wooden compass, wearing pink clothes, and has big, cute eyes."

The old woman shook her head. Lin Xian was visibly disappointed. He then took out a piece of silver and a talisman from his waist and handed them to the old woman: "If you see her here, just speak to this talisman. Thank you."

During those first few days, Lin Xian thought Li Zhaoyue was sulking and therefore not coming to practice, so he secretly collected a lot of fun and delicious things, planning to give them to her all at once. However, Li Zhaoyue didn't come for several days in a row, and she never came. Furthermore, none of the other brothers and sisters in the Yizi Academy had ever seen her.

"Master, Junior Sister seems to be missing. I feel a little..." Before Lin Xian could finish his words, he was interrupted abruptly by Zhu Ming.

"Have you completed today's training task?" she asked.

Lin Xian was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "It's already done."

"Well," Zhu Ming nodded, "it's OK once it's done. Remember to work hard every day."

"Okay, but Junior Sister..." Lin Xian hesitated.

"Since she has chosen to leave Yiziyuan, let her go her own way." Zhu Ming said.

"But..." Lin Xian was about to say that Li Zhaoyue was young and had that strange disease, so it was very unsafe for her to be outside, but Zhu Ming had no intention of listening any further and just left.
