With Yun Che’s current mental strength, let alone 600 words, even if it was 60,000 words, he would remember every word clearly after just a glance or a listen.
But after listening to Xiao Lingxi's recitation of the words that sounded like scriptures and profound formulas, Yun Che's mind went blank. He couldn't remember a single word, and his consciousness vaguely felt like it was drifting. He then closed his eyes and concentrated his mind. Suddenly, those strange words began to gradually appear in his mind and soul, becoming clearer and clearer... When he opened his eyes again, he had completely forgotten them.
“Lingxi, can you understand the meaning of this strange text?” Yun Che asked tentatively.
Xiao Lingxi shook her head: “I can recognize these words, but I have no idea what they mean. Xiao Che, even you can’t understand the meaning of these words?”
At this moment, the silver light floating in the air suddenly flashed, and all the strange words quickly twisted in the light, and then merged into a ball of silver light, flew back into the mysterious black jade, and completely disappeared.
The mysterious black jade returned to its previous state of silence. Even though Xiao Lingxi was right next to it, it no longer shone with brilliance.
Yun Che stretched out his hand, sucked the mysterious black jade into his hand, and then directly placed it into the Sky Poison Pearl - no longer allowing it to come into contact with Xiao Lingxi.
“Xiao Che, what on earth is that stone?” Xiao Lingxi couldn’t suppress her curiosity.
“I don’t know. I found it in a weird place.” Yun Che’s tone was particularly casual, and he changed the subject completely: “Maybe it’s a soul stone used to record ancient texts a long time ago. Forget it, let’s not worry about it. Let’s go and see Grandpa.”
After saying that, he took Xiao Lingxi's hand and they walked towards Xiao Lie's courtyard together.
Xiao Yongan had already gone to bed, Xiao Yun and his wife seemed to have gone to worship their parents, Xiao Hong had not returned, and Xiao Lie was the only one in the courtyard. When Xiao Lingxi arrived at Xiao Lie's courtyard, she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand out of Yun Che's, but unexpectedly, Yun Che held her hand even tighter, and in Xiao Lingxi's panic, he held her hand and came to Xiao Lie.
"Grandpa, I... have something to tell you." Although he had already made sufficient determination and preparation, he still felt nervous when facing Xiao Lie's calm face.
“Ah…” Xiao Lingxi vaguely realized something and moaned softly, her heartbeat suddenly speeding up.
"Haha, Che'er, you came at the right time. I also happen to have something important to discuss with you." Xiao Lie looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
Yun Che was slightly startled, and immediately asked: "Big thing? What big thing?"
"It's about Xi'er." Xiao Lie looked at Xiao Lingxi deeply, seemingly not noticing that the two were holding hands. He sighed and said, "Xi'er is already 23 years old this year, and it's time for her to get married. Che'er, you've been married for eight years, but Xi'er has been a burden to me. I've always been by her side to take care of her, and she has never had a plan for her life. Now I'm fine physically and mentally, Yun'er and his wife are loving, Yong'an is well-behaved and healthy, and what I'm most concerned about right now is Xi'er's life."
"…Grandpa, what do you mean?"
“Che’er,” Xiao Lie looked into Yun Che’s eyes and said gently, “You are well-informed and must know many young talents. If there is anyone who is suitable for Xi’er, please match them up. I will be assured of the person you choose.”
“Dad, I… I…” This was not the first time Xiao Lie had spoken to her about this matter, but this time, he did it in front of Yun Che. Xiao Lingxi was in a state of panic and didn’t know what to do.
“…” Yun Che’s gaze changed for a moment, and then suddenly became firm. He said in all seriousness, “Grandpa, I’ve actually already found this person.”
"Oh?" Xiao Lie's eyes flickered.
Yun Che suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Lie, his eyes met Xiao Lie’s, and he said word by word: “Grandpa, that person is me! I would like to ask Grandpa… to betroth Lingxi to me!”
"Xiao Che..." The voice that rang in Xiao Lingxi's ears was undoubtedly the most thrilling voice she had ever heard in her life. He spoke it out, in front of her and Xiao Lie, saying the words that she longed for but dared not touch like a taboo.
Xiao Lingxi also knelt down slowly, her eyes misty as she said softly, “Dad, I… in this life, apart from Xiao Che, I would rather… never marry.”
She also said the same words clearly in front of Xiao Lie. As soon as she said them, all her fear and worries disappeared silently, and she felt an unprecedented warmth and peace in her heart. The result seemed to no longer be so important at the moment she said them. Finally, she said what was in her heart, and her whole soul suddenly became sublimated and different from before.
"..." Xiao Lie's face did not show the shock, bewilderment, disappointment and anger that the two had expected. He did not have any even slightly violent reaction. Instead, he was calm. After a moment, he turned his back and let out a soft sigh.
“Grandpa?” Yun Che raised his head.
"Haha," Xiao Lie laughed, his laughter was particularly peaceful: "You two have endured for so many years, and today you finally spoke out your true feelings."
Yun Che was slightly surprised: "Grandpa, could it be that you have already..."
"I watched you grow up. You have been close to each other since childhood, and your feelings are inseparable. After you turned sixteen, you left Liuyun City, and Xier stayed by my side the whole time. I watched her worry about you day and night, and miss you day and night... This feeling is far beyond the realm of family affection. From then on, although I don't know how you feel about Xier, Xier's feelings for you are definitely not family affection, but deep love, and this feeling was completely released after knowing that you are not related by blood."
“So, I’m very worried. What I’m worried about is not the relationship you once had as aunt and nephew, but I’m afraid that Xier is just wishful thinking and will suffer for the rest of her life.” Xiao Lie raised his head slightly and closed his eyes. If Yun Che and Xiao Lingxi could see his expression at this moment, they would see that he was showing a faint smile.
The two of them were stunned for a moment. Xiao Lingxi said in disbelief, “Dad, you really… really don’t mind… at all?”
Xiao Lie shook his head slightly and smiled faintly: "You are of similar age, not related by blood, and both are my most beloved children. After hearing what you said today, I am overjoyed, so why would I mind? Although I, Xiao Lie, have been a mediocre person all my life, I have never been a pedantic person."
"Then...then the reason you keep asking me to marry you lately is...because..."
"Because I can't help but worry." Xiao Lie sighed, "I know that you have deep feelings for Che'er, but Che'er... he is already at a very high level. The women around him may be the emperor of a country, the emperor of a fantasy demon, or the Phoenix Goddess... Compared with them, you are as ordinary as dust. Although Che'er loves you as before, I am deeply worried that he will not have any feelings for you when he is surrounded by extraordinary women in the world, and your infatuation will be in vain. So, I used this to test... Hehe, Che'er's determination when he knelt down just now, and the worry and uneasiness in his eyes, let me know that my worries over the years were unnecessary. The last concern in my heart has finally been fulfilled."
“Dad…” Xiao Lingxi covered her lips with her hands, tears slowly falling from the corners of her eyes.
“Grandpa, don’t worry.” Yun Che took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement, “I will take good care of Lingxi for the rest of my life.”
“Haha, if it’s you, I can be completely at ease with Xier’s future. But…” Xiao Lie sighed softly, “Although you two have no blood relationship, the world is full of fools, and people’s words are scary after all. If you want to get married one day, choose the Illusory Demon Realm.”
“Okay.” Yun Che agreed without hesitation. He looked at Xiao Lingxi, who was also looking at him quietly. Their eyes met and they smiled at the same time. They had always thought that it was Xiao Lie who forced them to suppress their emotions, but today they realized that the biggest obstacle between them had always been themselves.
Today, Yun Che had prepared for the worst possible outcome, but he did not expect to receive such a beautiful and almost unreal outcome. The obstacle between him and Xiao Lingxi that he had not dared to touch before disappeared in the blink of an eye.
————————————
Illusory Demon Realm, Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley.
The breath of the flame was obviously weaker than the last time it came.
Yun Che arrived at the end of the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, and the Golden Crow's soul also appeared in the golden light that was scattered all over the sky: "Yun Che, what is the reason for you to come here this time?"
Yun Che raised his head and asked directly: “Golden Crow Spirit, have you ever heard of the name ‘The Book of the World-Defying Heaven’?”
"The Book of the World-Defying Heaven?" The Golden Crow Spirit snorted, "I have never heard of it before. From the name, it seems to be a profound skill. Humph, you dare to name it 'World-Defying'? You are so arrogant."
“Even you haven’t heard of it?” Yun Che was stunned, and then disappointed. He muttered in a low voice: “That’s too strange… What exactly could those words record?”
"You seem to have a lot on your mind. Where did you hear the name 'The Book of the World-Defying Heaven'?" said the Golden Crow Spirit.
“No, it’s not from what I heard.” Yun Che took out the mysterious black jade: “It comes from this.”
At that moment, he recounted to the Golden Crow Spirit the entire story of the strange connection between Xiao Lingxi and the mysterious black jade, and the appearance of strange words.
“How could such a thing happen?!” After listening to Yun Che’s story, the Golden Crow Spirit showed a shock far greater than he had expected.
"Draw the words in it for me to see."
"good!"
Yun Che closed his eyes and concentrated his mind. It took him a long time before the twisted and strange words appeared in his mind. He stretched out his finger and used the Golden Crow Flame to draw the four strange words at the top in the air... which were the four words that meant "The Book of the World Against the World".
After several dozen breaths, Yun Che finally drew four strange characters made of flames, which were suspended in the air. The golden pupil light of the Golden Crow Spirit shone on them, and in a moment, it retracted the pupil light.
“Golden Crow Spirit, could it be that… you don’t recognize these characters either?” Yun Che asked with a frown.
“I have never seen anything like this, and I have never heard anything like this.” The Golden Crow Spirit replied.
“Then… why did Lingxi recognize it? I’m sure she has never come across this kind of writing before. She herself doesn’t know why she recognizes it, and she was very frightened.” Yun Che clenched the black jade in his hand slightly: “Could it be that, as I made up to comfort her, this black jade liked her aura, and thus produced a resonance, and silently and actively established some kind of soul connection with her, so that it suddenly recognized this kind of writing?”
“What is the cultivation level of the Xiao Lingxi you mentioned, and what kind of profound skill is she practicing?” the Golden Crow Spirit asked solemnly.
“This…” Yun Che said with a little embarrassment: “Lingxi is not good at the profound way. Her profound strength is only at the seventh level of the True Profound Realm. Her profound skill is the Flying Eagle Skill that the Xiao Clan, where she was born, practiced. It is a very low-level profound skill.”
"..." The Golden Crow Spirit fell silent, then said calmly: "Leave this place for a while and bring her to me."

[Yes, I am here to complain again. ]
【Regarding Xiao Lingxi, many friends left messages saying that this was a forced addition to Xiao Lingxi's story, which seemed too abrupt. Forced! ! How many hints did I add in the previous article! ! The hints were almost explicit! And they were all before chapter 400! ! Who is the only person in the whole article who has telepathy? Who is the only person in the whole article who has the ability of premonition? Who is the only person in the whole article who has the ability of soul "perspective"? 】
[Well, it's my fault, the battle line is too long, and it's a bit too much to pay attention to and remember the details buried in the past. After all, not everyone reads a book line by line... like me. So I decided to add a round and luxurious tea egg to my midnight snack tonight. ]
