"What you're saying..." Indeed, having spent too many years in the mountains, Cheng Xuanwu's information network had become inadequate, and his knowledge was limited to bits and pieces. Hearing Wu Yue's words, he couldn't quite place the person in question. "Who is it?"
“The true spirit of the capital, Mr. Long Jingyuan.” Wu Yue pulled out a group photo of the three and handed it to Cheng Xuanwu. Standing in the middle was Yan Chiyu, and next to Yan Chiyu was Long Jingyuan.
Cheng Xuanwu watched intently, and Wu Yue took the opportunity to ask, "What do you think? Doesn't it look like your family's book god?"
“Hmm… I have met Mr. Long before. I met him once when I first came to the capital. However,” Cheng Xuanwu recalled the scene and hesitated, “I remember that he didn’t have eyes then, and they weren’t such magnificent and captivating eyes.”
"Yes. Mr. Long's eyes left him for a while, but they've returned now." This matter also involves Bai Tang, and Wu Yue didn't want to say more. Once she started, she would have to explain a lot, which would be troublesome.
"Bring it here, let me take a closer look."
As Cheng Xuanwu spoke, Wu Yue moved her phone closer to him.
After about ten seconds, Cheng Xuanwu shook his head with a look of disappointment. "It's not the Book God. The Book God is thinner than Mr. Long, and Mr. Long's eyes have a gentle gleam. Let me clarify beforehand, I'm not trying to be mean, but my Book God would never show such a gentle expression. His eyes hold the brilliance of the sun and moon, the vast starry universe, yet beneath that nobility lies a cold and wicked aura. This is why so many mountain and sea beasts revere him."
Wu Yue nearly dropped her phone. "So we still have to find the other two divine beasts?"
Cheng Xuanwu stared somewhat dazedly at the girl's fiery eyes, a strange feeling stirring within him.
"Have you ever thought about this...?"
Before he could finish speaking softly, Wu Yue interrupted him, "I understand. Mr. Cheng, there's something I need your help with. I'll leave my brother in your care."
She killed Lu Bokui, who possessed Cheng Pingxi's soul fragments. Her brother must be very angry.
The girl shrugged with a wry smile: "He probably doesn't want to see me anytime soon."
"Don't you feel uncomfortable?"
"Let's give him some time to process it."
Wu Yue tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiled, and then sighed heavily: "I can't hide it anymore, I really like this brother."
As Cheng Xuanwu pondered the deeper meaning of those words, he looked up again, only to find that Wu Yue had vanished, and the sound of the ward door closing softly filled his ears.
The fleeting thought that had just crossed his mind vanished with the closing of the door.
He moved a chair over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
He looked down at the boy with his brows furrowed and stared blankly for a long time.

At this moment, Cheng Pingxi was wandering in the torrent of memories. He was forced to fall continuously, surrounded by twisted spiral stones that floated in mid-air, striking out heart-devouring demonic sounds that made his vision go black and his mind become chaotic and unclear.
A while later, a young man dressed in white robes appeared before him, with a jade hairpin carved in the shape of a white tiger in his hair.
Purple clouds filled the sky, mountains and streams, plants and jade stones, birds and beasts. Cheng Pingxi looked around at the scenery and vaguely guessed that this was probably the hometown of Lu Shu Fuzhu and his people - the world of mountains and seas.
"The God of Books has descended, bringing blessings to mountains and seas!"
"I heard from Qinglong that you're doing quite well in your studies."
Cheng Pingxi felt that his field of vision was sometimes very large and sometimes very small. At that moment, he saw a young man in white robes talking to a person wearing a black and red robe... He couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, but he felt that even the other person's back view was extremely beautiful, graceful and fairy-like, and that figure was like a fairy and a demon.
He tried hard to see his face clearly.
