As Ji Fengming listened, he secretly pondered:

This Yunxiao really does look a lot like me. If Xiao Chen hadn't said it was Yunxiao, I would have thought he was making up a story about me.

Black Owl took a deep breath at this point, his gaze extending further into the distance, his voice becoming even softer: "Back then, Yunxiao really gave Ling Qing a headache."

He used Ling Qing's private hot spring and roasted the spirit beast that Ling Qing raised.

Once Ling Qing meditates for more than four hours, he will come up with all sorts of ways to cause trouble, claiming that he wants to help Ling Qing balance work and rest.

Han Yuzong had no particular dietary habits.

He secretly mixed wine into Ling Qing's tea and stuffed meat into her fasting pills, trying every possible way to let Ling Qing experience the pleasures of life.

Several times, Ling Qing couldn't help but take action.

But every time Ling Qing knocked him to the ground, he would laugh like a rogue.

Each time, he would lie on the ground and say to Ling Qing, "Yes, that's it. That's what makes you human."

Over time, Ling Qing got used to Yun Xiao's presence.

Similarly, many things, when left to their own devices for too long, become habits.

Ji Fengming gradually became engrossed in the conversation, and it seemed as if the various scenes described by Hei Xiao were appearing before his eyes.

Black Owl was so engrossed in his speech that he seemed to have returned to the past, and even a slight smile appeared on his lips. But the smile did not linger on his lips for long before it disappeared abruptly, and his voice trembled slightly: "Day after day, the people of Hanyu Sect began to see a faint smile on Ling Qing's face, and the faces of the disciples of Hanyu Sect also slowly began to show a little smile."

The Cold Imperial Sect, nestled atop a snow-capped peak, seemed to have been remembered by the Snow God as a snow flower slowly blooming with white blossoms.

Although the flowers are still the color of snow, they are not as cold as snow.

It has its own unique temperature; it is a thing of the human world.

But from this time on, rumors began to spread at the foot of the snow-capped peak. Everyone said that the Yun family was a demon-connected clan, and that the Yun family members were remnants of demonic possession.

In the blink of an eye, the Yun family, the head of the eight great families, collapsed, leaving corpses of Yun family members scattered everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.

Ling Qing couldn't bear to tell Yunxiao the news, so she ordered everyone in the Han Yu Sect to be silenced.

In order to keep Yunxiao from leaving the mountain and facing the treacherous pursuit of the world, Ling Qing began to deliberately repeat the process, increasing the difficulty of the transformation, while investigating the truth about the Yun family.

And so, after the Yun family was destroyed, Yunxiao stayed safely in the Hanyu Sect for another six months.

During those six months, Ling Qing was unpredictable.

During those six months, Yunxiao nearly went crazy.

The two would often get into a fight because of their arguments, but they would always make up in the end.

Ah... it's all just love that makes people critical; there's no real resentment or hatred.

Ling Qing knew that Yun Xiao had a pure heart, and there would probably never be anyone in this world who treated him with such sincerity again, so he cherished this friendship.

But in Jun Luoying's eyes, this precious friendship was so filthy and disgusting.

It was the time of the ascension ceremony of the former sect leader of the Hanyu Sect.

Jun Luoying accompanied the then-head of the Jun family to the Han Yuzong sacrifice, where she accidentally discovered Yunxiao's existence and also discovered that the aloof Ling Qing could talk and laugh like a normal person when interacting with others.

Despite being the closest person to him, he received the coldest treatment, leaving Jun Luoying, who had been pampered since childhood, feeling deeply disappointed.

She inquired with the disciples of the Han Yu Sect about how Yunxiao and Ling Qing met and fell in love, as well as the changes in Ling Qing. She was furious.

She spread the news that Yunxiao was hidden in the Hanyu Sect to the world.
