The warm summer breeze blows the yellow leaves all over the mountain. The semi-transparent and layered leaves of various colors sway in the wind, and the wind chimes in the shade of the trees on the mountain road make light and pleasant sounds.
Under the bright sunshine, the girl with long black hair and a gorgeous dress embroidered with light gold gradually walked up the stairs.
Although her face was not yet visible, as the girl slowly climbed the mountain, a gentle summer breeze slowly blew in from the foot of the mountain. The warm breeze blew away the tense emotions of everyone present, and the originally tense atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful, making people feel as if they were in a comfortable afternoon, listening to cicadas under the shade of trees.
On the mountain roads on both sides, the golden wind-calling bells hanging between the trees were swaying in the breeze, making light sounds to welcome the arrival of the girl.
Just like that, the originally tense and urgent situation suddenly calmed down. Everyone on the high platform watched the girl climb up the mountain step by step, until finally she raised her head, revealing her soft and dreamy face.
"She is..." Although this girl has an extraordinary temperament, even like an immortal, many people do not know her origins and are quite curious.
"This... I don't know." Some guests shook their heads and then listened to others' explanation.
…
"That's... Senior Sister Luo Lan." After some whispered discussions, someone finally called out the familiar name.
"Senior Sister Luo Lan? Why haven't I seen her before?" Many later disciples had never seen Luo Lan Hill, so they were naturally curious and puzzled.
"Senior Sister Luo Lan is very powerful. She is the leader of the Jiuyou lineage in our Xiangyu Sect. Before the previous leader passed away, she appointed Senior Sister Jin Hua, Senior Brother Gu Lie, and Senior Sister Luo Lan to jointly lead the future of our sect."
"It's just that more than ten years ago, Senior Sister Luo Lan went on a long sea voyage, and then Senior Brother Gu Lie and Senior Sister Jin Hua had an argument, which led to the current situation."
"It's good that Senior Sister Luo Lan has returned. You entered the sect too late, and you didn't know how powerful Senior Sister Luo Lan was in the past. She single-handedly suppressed the Sunset Mountains, and later became the Golden Sparrow Priestess, one of the Four Blessings, the Wind Blessing."
Some true disciples of the Xiangyu Sect explained in detail, and the later disciples finally understood who the old friend that the Ningzi Zhaoye Palace group was talking about was.
Luo Lanshier had once been very kind to the Night Palace, no wonder they respected him so much.
Listening to the conversation between the disciples of the Xiangyu Sect, the guests present slowly recalled a major event that happened more than ten years ago, namely the strange changes in the dragon veins in the sunset mountains and the mysterious girl who appeared at the Burning Tail Banquet.
"So, she is the Golden Sparrow Priestess who was canonized that day. It is said that she was canonized with the permission of the Red Phoenix."
While everyone was whispering, Loran Hill had already climbed onto the high platform on the top of the mountain, and then the people from Ning Zi Zhao Ye Palace gathered behind him, like layers of purple clouds, with purple and white ribbons and tassels fluttering in the breeze.
"Senior Sister Jinhua, I'm back." Looking at the now gentle and weak Jinhua, Loran Hill had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know how to express them all.
"I'm glad you're back." Jinhua smiled for the first time today. Her expression, which was full of sorrow before, now seemed extremely relaxed.
This lovable yet highly anticipated junior sister is finally back.
After Gu Lie and his men left and the dynasty was in turmoil, Jin Hua began to send people to the west to search for this junior sister. Unfortunately, this action never yielded any results. Just when she was gradually becoming discouraged, she did not expect this junior sister who had not been seen for many years to appear before her eyes again.
Pressing her hand on her chest to calm down the thousands of emotions, Jinhua slowly closed her eyes, then opened them again.
"Loran, come~"
At the moment when many outsiders were looking at her, she waved her sleeves lightly and beckoned to her junior sister, and then Loran Hill also obediently walked up to her.
Jinhua clasped her white fingers with light red nails, held Loran Hill's hand, and looked at her closely, examining her closely, as if to see if this junior sister had been injured over the years, and why there had been no response from her over the years.
After a while, Jinhua hugged Luo Lanxi'er's shoulders, gently stroked her soft long black hair, and whispered in Luo Lanxi'er's ear.
"You're finally back."
"I'm sorry for making everyone worry." Loran Hill felt the warm body temperature coming from Jinhua, and a faint scent of yellow camellia flowers also came from his nose.
I really miss this kind of fragrance. Senior Sister Jinhua must be a person who likes nostalgia. The floral scent on her body has not changed in more than ten years.
After a while of tenderness, Jinhua finally let go of her hand and took Luo Lanxi'er's hand again and walked in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long while we reminisced about the past." She apologized slightly before continuing.
"This is my junior sister, and she is also the leader of the Nine Nether lineage of the Xiangyu Sect. She was one of the three people that Master entrusted to me back then."
"Due to my health, I may not be suitable to continue in the position of the head. From now on, you can consult with Junior Sister Luo Lan on many matters concerning the Xiangyu Sect."
"However, Junior Sister Luo Lan has just returned and is unfamiliar with many things, so it will take some time for her to adapt. Please forgive me."
Amid the astonished gazes of everyone present, Jinhua spoke of an important event, which was that Loran Hill would take over the leadership of the Xiangyu Sect, and she herself needed to rest and sleep for a while.
Everyone knows that Jinhua really needs time to recuperate because of what happened before, but what is surprising is that she would be so trusting and confident in handing over the Xiangyu Sect to a fellow sister who seems young and immature. You have to know that this is still a turbulent time and a critical moment for the world to change dramatically.
"Can it still be like this?"
"Could it be that the Xiangyu Sect is trying to use this to delay the invitation from King Dai?"
