Xie Lanzhi was unwilling to leave Mu Qing, and Xie Aotian, having finally found his brother, naturally wouldn't leave either.

He wasn't used to sharing a room with other cultivators, so he sat on the ground under a big tree in the courtyard, preparing to meditate there for the night.

The only consolation was that his elder brother did not follow Mu Qing into the room, but stayed by his side.

Xie Aotian reached out and lightly touched the head of Xie Lanzhi, who was sitting obediently beside him. He then took out the Thousand Transformations Soul Technique from his spatial ring. Xie Lanzhi was exceptionally intelligent in life, and even after becoming a soul, she still possessed extremely high comprehension.

Even with amnesia, one can quickly enter a meditative state by flipping through the Thousand Transformations Soul Manual.

Xie Aotian took out a top-grade spirit stone and a spirit-gathering array plate, and placed an enhanced spirit-gathering array next to him.

Compared to a spirit-gathering array that only contains spirit stones, its spirit-gathering effect is dozens of times stronger.

In addition, Xie Lanzhi possessed an immaculate soul and a pure spirit.

The spiritual energy rushed towards Xie Lanzhi's soul, forming a white band of light that enveloped her in layers at the very center.

In just one night, Xie Lanzhi's cultivation level jumped from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle and late stages, reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment.

The soul has become more solidified.

Xie Aotian stayed by his side, protecting him, and guarded him for the entire night.

Having witnessed him enter into meditation and cultivate with my own eyes, and seeing how quickly he progressed, I felt both shocked and proud and gratified.

Early the next morning, Xie Xinyao and Wang Xia left the Tai Xuan Sword Sect and set off for the Xie family.

Shuang Feiyan, who was waiting for news from Wang Xia, did not receive any news about him dealing with Mu Qing. Instead, she received news that he had left with Xie Xinyao. She was so angry that she smashed the teacup on the jade table and began to resent Wang Xia.

Shuang Feiyan dressed up carefully and walked gracefully towards Yu Xiaoyao's courtyard. Bu Hua had heard from outside that Xie Aotian had gone to Yu Xiaoyao's courtyard with Mu Qing.

In Yu Xiaoyao's courtyard

Mu Qing led Tu Xiaoxiao out of the room, while Murong Yu and Ao Bupa entered the Qingmeng Secret Realm to cultivate again.

Rabbit Xiaoxiao wasn't very interested in offensive techniques, but she became particularly interested in alchemy after the Book Spirit introduced her to the secret realm.

He then found Ao Bupa and told him that he wanted to come out and watch the alchemy competition.

With Xiao Xu's introduction, the Book Spirit became very curious about the outside world.

This time, it came out as well, hiding in Mu Qing's sleeve along with Xiao Xu.

They were excitedly whispering together with Xiao Xu.

When Mu Qing brought Tu Xiaoxiao out, Xie Lanzhi had already stopped cultivating.

Seeing Mu Qing come out, it happily floated to Mu Qing's side.

Looking at Xie Lanzhi, whose figure had become much more solid, Mu Qing understood and reached out to gently pat his head.

Having lost her memory, Xie Lanzhi, like a child, instinctively felt close to Mu Qing, the first person she met.

Secondly, there's Xie Aotian.

Xie Aotian felt a little jealous, but when he met Xie Lanzhi's clear and innocent eyes, he was filled with joy.

"Never mind, as long as my brother is happy."

Mu Qing: "Thank you, fellow Daoist. We're planning to go watch the alchemy competition. Would you like to come along?"

Xie Aotian was genuinely uninterested in alchemy, but after glancing at Xie Lanzhi who was staring at him expectantly, he still stood up.

His gaze lingered on Xie Lanzhi, who was smiling broadly beside him and Mu Qing, and his heart softened.

The corners of his lips couldn't help but turn upwards slightly.

Shuang Feiyan, who had just arrived at the courtyard gate, was speechless.

She couldn't see the soul, so naturally she couldn't see Xie Lanzhi floating between Mu Qing and Xie Aotian. In her eyes, Xie Aotian was just smiling gently at Mu Qing.

The tenderness of a tough guy is the most touching, but unfortunately, this heartwarming scene was incredibly jarring to Shuang Feiyan.

Suppressing her hatred, Shuang Feiyan walked towards Xie Aotian with a smile and reached out to take his arm.

Xie Aotian dodged it by sidestepping.
