"Pfft, you're too funny," Xi Yun laughed.

"Well, there's nothing I can do. Who told you to refuse? By the way, did you really not want to at the time?" Sui Xin asked back.

"Hmm? You must have been thinking about it," Xi Yun thought for a moment, but couldn't quite remember. "Hehe, I was just teasing you."

"I knew it, okay, I'll continue. Later on... we played pranks together, we hit people with slingshots, wow, it was so much fun," Suixin said, her face full of nostalgia. That time was really fun and carefree.

Xi Yun leaned on Sui Xin's shoulder, listening to his story. The previously blurry memories gradually became clear, and scenes from the past appeared before her eyes. She glanced at Sui Xin and thought how wonderful it was to have him by her side.

"A few little incidents happened when we entered Medicine Peak. That damned Wang Kun... I knocked him down with two punches. It felt so good."

When the actual exam came, I remember you passed but I didn't. I didn't want to ruin your future, so I snapped at you and made you cry. Thinking about it now, I feel a little embarrassed, haha.

“Oh, I remember now, I beat you up when we came down the mountain, didn’t I?” Xi Yun continued, recalling a few more things.

"Yes, yes, Yun'er, you hit me really hard back then, it hurt me for a long time," Sui Xin nodded and said.

"Hmph, who told you to be mean to me?"

With a casual smile, she said, "Don't worry, there won't be a next time."

"After entering Medicine Peak, we studied for about a month or two before the sect sent us down the mountain to exorcise demons. There were quite a few things to do here..."

Speaking of being captured by the Demon Lord, Sui Xin raised her hand and took the somewhat worn hairpin from Xi Yun's hair, asking, "Do you still remember this hairpin?"

Xi Yun shook her head, "I only remember that you gave it to me, but I don't remember the specifics."

“At that time, we were captured by the Demon Lord, and our lives were not in our own hands. I had a flash of inspiration and remembered the life-saving pillar that my master gave me, so I set it in a hairpin and gave it to you. Actually, I didn’t expect that we would actually need it, just in case.”

"And then what happened?" Xi Yun asked quickly.

"Hehe, things got a bit tragic later... Since I promised you that night that I wouldn't let you end up like Senior Lin Xi, then I would never back down when you were truly in danger... Because of this, we were separated for as long as five years."

Sui Xin only said a few words about almost being killed, but Xi Yun already remembered it.

"Sigh, that period was truly worse than death. If I hadn't been able to hear your and Mother's voices from time to time, I probably would have broken down," Sui Xin said, glancing at Xi Yun.

"You idiot, isn't the life-saving bead on me? What are you worried about?" Xi Yun said reproachfully, still full of guilt and self-blame even though a long time had passed.

"The situation was urgent at the time, and I forgot for a moment. Besides, I'm fine now."

“That won’t do either,” Xi Yun looked up at Sui Xin seriously. “Just like you said before, if you’re gone, I’ll come down to find you right away. I’ll never live on. Do you understand?”

"Okay, okay, I understand."
