Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen did not reply. Instead, he stood up, walked out of the pavilion, circled the pavilion once, and seemed to have a definite answer in his heart before returning.

"This island has a barrier, supposedly guarded by immortals, but it's really no different from a prison. What secrets could there be that require the island's guardians to be unable to leave for all eternity? That's far too malicious," Mo Beichen said coldly as he sat back down next to Yun Qingluo.

Elder Xuan was somewhat shocked. He stretched out his hand and deduced it once, then looked at Mo Beichen in surprise again, before suddenly realizing what had happened.

"I see, I see, it really is fate." The old man's profound words left the group completely bewildered.

“Elder Xuan, please speak frankly,” Mo Beichen continued.

Elder Xuan smiled and looked at Mo Beichen, “You have a power in your body that doesn’t belong to you; to be precise, it’s a wisp of immortal energy.”

Elder Xuan's words were like a bomb, causing everyone present to stare in shock.

Yun Qingluo's heart was in turmoil; no one knew the power within Mo Beichen better than she did.

Xiao Yi said it was more of an energy than a force.

This world follows the law of conservation of energy, so the energy emanating from his body must have come from someone else.

After hearing Elder Xuan's words, Yun Qingluo had a guess in her mind, but she didn't say it aloud.

Instead, she looked at Elder Xuan warily.

Elder Xuan smiled and glanced at Yun Qingluo. “Don’t worry, you are destined to be with me, but not with the island-guarding immortal. So I won’t do anything to you. On the contrary, I have something to ask of you.”

She asked bluntly, "What is it?"

Elder Xuan shook his head, "No rush, you'll find out in time."

Master Xuan summoned the two young boys who had served tea earlier, and said, "Go and build a fine sea vessel for our distinguished guest."

The two children bowed and retreated without a word.

Yun Qingluo paid special attention to the children this time and found that they were nowhere to be seen. Her heart skipped a beat and she grabbed Mo Beichen's hand tightly.

Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen followed Yun Qingluo's gaze and froze, then looked at Elder Xuan.

Elder Xuan noticed the change in the expressions of the group and said with a smile, "It is nothing more than a wisp of aura. There is no need for you to be nervous."

"Speaking of which, the one who is truly destined to meet you is actually my master and you, young man. I don't know what earth-shattering thing you did back then that made him willing to share a wisp of his immortal energy with you."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo suddenly recalled the time when Mo Beichen fell ill and she went to find him. At that time, he was clearly disabled in both legs, but she still carried him out of the room.

Xiao Yi said at the time that he had activated another power, and he had used that power unintentionally, which was why he was able to stand up and carry him.

In retrospect, that wisp of immortal energy was already within his body back then?

Yun Qingluo took the initiative to ask, "Senior..."

"I don't like this title. Senior, senior, it sounds unlucky. They say the Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. I don't want to die. Call me Elder Xuan."

Yun Qingluo looked at Elder Xuan in shock. How did he know that catchphrase?

"Odd changes, even remains the same?"

"The river flows eastward, doesn't it?"

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star?"

Yun Qinglu thought of a possibility and said a series of words that no one could understand. She looked at Elder Xuan nervously and excitedly, but seeing that Elder Xuan also looked confused, her heart, which had been raised, fell back down heavily.

Looks like we're from different worlds.

Why.

Mo Beichen seemed to understand something. He gripped Yun Qingluo's hand tightly again, so tightly that it hurt Yun Qingluo. She looked at Mo Beichen.

When she saw the tension in Mo Beichen's eyes, she suddenly remembered that she had told her about her hometown, so he was worried that she would leave.

"Don't worry, I won't leave." Yun Qingluo placed her other hand on the back of Mo Beichen's hand and patted it reassuringly.

Mo Beichen regained some of his composure, nodded, and then realized that he had been gripping Yun Qingluo's hand too tightly.

He quickly let go, and saw red marks on Yun Qingluo's fair hand. He felt a little apologetic.

Yun Qinglu shook her head, "It doesn't hurt, it's okay, Achen, don't worry."

She turned her head casually and saw three people eating sunflower seeds from who-knows-where while staring at her and Mo Beichen, their expressions of watching the show were all too obvious.

Yun Qinglu glared at Baiyi and Baishang with annoyance, "Master, don't you know the saying 'don't look at what is improper'? Haven't you ever seen a young couple expressing their love?"

Before Bai Yi could speak, Bai Chang spoke first, saying, "Those who have never seen each other in public don't even know how to avoid suspicion."

"Hehe, Uncle-Master, why don't you just not look?" Yun Qingluo snorted.

"I'm sitting right across from you, it's hard for me not to see you," Bai Chang said, spreading her hands in a helpless gesture.

Yun Qinglu snorted and was about to speak when the man in white said first, "Alright, let's get down to business."

Bai Chang glanced at Bai Yi and snorted twice, "You're just going to protect her then."

The man in white gestured for Elder Xuan to continue.

Elder Xuan was curious about what Yun Qingluo had said. "What does 'odd changes, even remains unchanged' mean?"

Clouds Fall: Dead mathematical memories suddenly attacked me.

She said she didn't want to recall those mathematical concepts.

So he blurted out, "Oh, these are a few nursery rhymes I've heard before, including the one Elder Xuan just mentioned. That's why I said a few more to see if Elder Xuan knew them too. If he did, perhaps Elder Xuan grew up in that area."

Elder Xuan realized that Yun Qingluo was just making excuses for her, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he asked curiously what the next question was.
