In her past life, her genius elder sister drained her heart's blood to treat a supposed heart ailment. Her most trusted relatives did not plead for her or mourn her death; they even sold her co...
At this moment, when Liu Yunqing removed his faceless mask, at least 70-80% of the disciples of the major sects would recognize his face.
To be precise, Liu Yunqing and Si Youfeng were not very familiar with each other, and she did not know whether the other party would release the news of her in the Fusang Secret Realm.
Liu Yunqing wasn't afraid if word got out; in fact, he even hoped that Si Youfeng would spread the word.
It wasn't that Liu Yunqing wanted to court death, but rather that she felt that since "Liu Yunqing" had disappeared from the cultivation world for so long, someone should have seen her by now.
Otherwise, if any more time passes, no one will remember her.
Liu Yunqing stopped in her tracks, as if she had thought of something. She waved her hand and conjured a pool of water, which was more unfamiliar than familiar.
The face that I remembered as mostly cute and pleasing now appears even more refined and radiant. However, the coldness in her eyes, even without the mask, seems to draw ever closer to the masked version of herself.
Yes, although only a few years have passed, the little girl has grown up, and a few years is enough.
Liu Yunqing reached out and touched her face, gently curving her lips into a smile.
It's great to finally see myself all grown up.
If you haven't seen it before, then it's new, so how can it not be considered a new beginning?
Liu Yunqing waved away the water mirror, and her fluctuating emotions quickly returned to calm as she focused her attention back on the present moment.
The appearance of the hibiscus seedling was a major opportunity for her, but its origins were ultimately unclear.
She wanted to try to find the ruined mansion again, or see if she could meet someone who had been there and try to find out what happened.
Liu Yunqing thought it would take some effort, but as soon as he encountered the first group of cultivators, he heard them talking about the Azure Relic Mansion.
Blue? A ruined mansion?
Liu Yunqing then thought of the ruins whose outer walls were made entirely of blue jade.
Wasn't that a selection process for the Imperial Ancestral Hall? How did all these people know about it?
Could it be... that the ruins have escaped on their own?
"Fellow Daoists, excuse me for disturbing you, but is the ruined mansion you are referring to the one that appeared a few days ago?"
"Nonsense! Otherwise, have any other ancient ruins appeared recently?"
During the conversation, one of the two spoke with obvious disdain upon hearing Liu Yunqing's question.
Turning his head, he met Liu Yunqing's good-natured smile. The man was taken aback and subconsciously softened his tone, saying:
"Those opportunities have already become someone else's pockets, so why are you still asking, fellow Daoist?"
Liu Yunqing's smile softened even more as she said:
"Oh, I was away the other day. I heard about it on the street and wanted to come and see for myself, but I was too late."
By the end, Liu Yunqing's voice was tinged with disappointment, making it hard to criticize her.
Another cultivator in the conversation, seeing this, quickly offered words of comfort:
"Sigh, there's nothing to see here. That ruined mansion just appeared out of thin air and disappeared just as suddenly. Nobody even knows who got it."
The cultivator who spoke first probably felt that the statement was not accurate, so he added as soon as the other person finished speaking:
"It is said that the powerful figures of all the major forces in the Sunrise Realm were alarmed. They naturally know who has obtained the opportunity, but they just do not announce it to the public."
This has alarmed many powerful figures?
"Huh? Could it be that only one person entered that abandoned mansion and obtained the opportunity?"
The two laughed upon hearing this, shaking their heads and saying:
"That's why some people are just born with special privileges."
"According to those who came out, there were two or three hundred people who went into the ruins, but only twenty or thirty came out alive."
At this point, the man's words were inadvertently opened, and he suddenly said in a mysterious tone:
"By the way, I heard that Zhenru, the rogue cultivator who beat Liu Yunzhao in the hunting competition a while ago, also went in, but he didn't come out!"
"That's the treasure of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. The city lord of Luoxia City is frantic with worry."
"It is said that he suspected that Liu Yunzhao was being petty and retaliating, and he even secretly made things difficult for Liu Yunzhao's master!"
Chunyu Changfeng went mad because of her disappearance?
Liu Yunqing didn't believe it at all.
More than that, she believed that Chunyu Changfeng was using this as an excuse to make a fuss.
Thinking of Chunyu Changfeng's consistent way of doing things, Liu Yunqing lowered her eyes and guessed that the city lord might have a grudge against Cheng Yunyun.
If that's the case, then Chunyu Changfeng's excessive care for him suddenly makes sense.
"I think Lord Chunyu is doing a good job!"
"Those two, master and disciple, are really good at causing trouble, relying on their title as the daughter of destiny... Ugh, what are you doing!"
Before the other cultivator could finish speaking, another covered his mouth, glancing at Liu Yunqing before saying:
"Never speak ill of others behind their backs, or you won't even know how you died."
Liu Yunqing raised an eyebrow and tactfully changed the subject:
"I wonder if you two fellow Daoists could point me to the location where the ruins were previously located? I'd like to go and take a look."
Neither of them found Liu Yunqing's request strange at all, since everyone who came to the Fusang Secret Realm recently had to go there.
This is a common human trait: once you're here, you're already there.
While Liu Yunqing was on her "since we're already here" journey, another person was also on the same journey.
That person was Liu Yunzhao.
After losing the hunting competition, although the sect didn't say anything, she could still clearly feel that the gazes falling on her were different from before.
Reflecting on the red dress that had led her to this predicament, Liu Yunzhao decided to leave her sheltered environment and venture out on her own to gain experience.
As a result, just a few days after she left home, she came across the news of the Fusang Secret Realm leaving the ruined mansion, and on a whim, she followed along.
While others were unaware of the secrets of the Fusang Secret Realm, Liu Yunzhao was.
The Fusang Secret Realm is not a simple secret realm. Others only think that the Fusang Secret Realm is complicated, but they don't know that Liu Yunzhao heard someone mention that "...there may be a Fusang Divine Tree in the world...if you get it, you may be able to collect all the Golden Crow's essence blood."
At this very moment, the ruins of the mansion have appeared, making it hard for Liu Yunzhao not to suspect that the Fusang Divine Tree is hidden within them.
Unfortunately, she arrived too late. Just as she was about to reach the site of the ruined mansion, she heard that it had already been taken away.
How could Liu Yunzhao be willing to let the Fusang Divine Tree slip through his fingers?
Knowing that seniors from the sect had also arrived, she quickly sent a message to Cheng Yunyun, asking her to help inquire about the whereabouts of the Yi Mansion.
"Qiu Zhengping? That stubborn guy from the Tai Xuan Sect? How could it be him?"
Liu Yunzhao frowned as he looked at the answer his master had obtained through favors.
This was not what she expected.
Everything in the universe is subject to some unseen force, and only those who are connected to it will be drawn to it.
She could understand Liu Yunqing, who had no one to guide her, had low cultivation, and came from an unknown background. But what about Qiu Zhengping?
Now that it belongs to her, is it something that anyone can covet?
Looking at the large crater where the former residence had disappeared, Liu Yunzhao frowned and sighed, feeling a headache coming on.
Just as Liu Yunzhao looked up and down, a blue figure flashed by and instantly disappeared into the pit.
In recent days, people have been going down into the pit to explore its secrets every day, but they have all returned empty-handed, and Liu Yunzhao has become accustomed to it.
But when she caught sight of the blue figure out of the corner of her eye, she froze for a moment, then chased after him into the pit without hesitation.
