"You, you are finally back?" Duan Qingyuan said after a while.
His voice was a little choked, and tears appeared in his eyes.
Because he was too excited, Duan Qingyuan's hands were shaking unconsciously.
Gu Qingxi was a little puzzled. Although she and Duan Qingyuan had met several times and had received some guidance from him, their friendship was not deep. Even if
they were reunited, there was no need for him to be so excited, right?
"Senior Duan, I'm back." Although it felt a little strange, others were so excited, Gu Qingxi couldn't remain indifferent, so she still cooperated and said.
"Here you go again, didn't I tell you a long time ago that I am only a few years older than you, how can I be worthy of the title of senior? You should call me Brother Qingyuan like before, don't be strange." Duan Qingyuan said with a stern face, but his eyes were full of joy of reunion, how could he be really angry.
Brother Qingyuan? Gu Qingxi looked at Duan Qingyuan and felt even more strange.
She remembered very clearly that when she met Duan Qingyuan, he was already a famous strong man in Tiancang Continent, and he was much older than her, so she always addressed him as a senior.
Even when he later surpassed Duan Qingyuan in strength, he was politely called Qingyuan Tianjun, and never called him Qingyuan Big Brother.
I don't know why Duan Qingyuan said this. Could it be that it has been too long and he has confused her with others?
But on second thought, Gu Qingxi felt that it was unlikely.
If she was just an ordinary cultivator, Duan Qingyuan might have confused her with others, but before Duan Qingyuan died, she had surpassed him and became one of the most powerful people in the world of cultivation. How could Duan Qingyuan confuse her with others?
"By the way, you came back to see her this time, right?" Duan Qingyuan asked again in a familiar manner before Gu Qingxi figured out what was going on.
"She?" This time, Gu Qingxi was really and completely confused.
"Don't worry, your daughter is my niece Duan Qingyuan, I will take good care of her.
But to be honest, her talent is so amazing that even I am ashamed of myself.
You asked me to pay attention to her safety and not to give her too much help, so as not to affect her cultivation. I thought you were too cruel as a mother.
But later I found out that with her talent, there was really little I could do to help her.
Now that her strength is above mine, I can't help her at all." Duan Qingyuan didn't seem to notice Gu Qingxi's doubts, and continued to talk to himself.
Your daughter!
Hearing his words, Gu Qingxi's head buzzed, as if a thunder exploded in her ears, and as if a huge rock was thrown into the lake, causing a huge wave.
Got it, Gu Qingxi finally understood: Duan Qingyuan did confuse her with someone else, and this other person was not someone else, but her mother!
Scenes of long-lost memories also flooded into her mind like a tide.
In her previous life, she entered the path of cultivation as a casual cultivator and became one of the most powerful peak masters in the entire continent. During this period, she did not know how many trials, hardships, and dangers she had experienced.
But at the same time, she also found many opportunities, and she also survived several times. She also received guidance from her predecessors at the critical moment of breakthrough and promotion.
Gu Qingxi always thought that those experiences were coincidences, or the result of God's reward for hard work.
Until this moment, she realized that there were not so many coincidences in the world, and many times it was actually Duan Qingyuan who secretly helped.
For example, when she met Duan Qingyuan in a secret realm, she thought that the experience was full of crises, but it was safe all the way, and she also found several urgently needed spirit crystals as she wished.
I thought I was lucky, and that secret realm was not dangerous at all. Now thinking back, she realized that it had nothing to do with luck, nor was it that the secret realm was not dangerous enough, but all the crises had been secretly solved by Duan Qingyuan.
For example, a key promotion later was also thanks to Duan Qingyuan's guidance.
Without those instructions, even if she finally broke through the bottleneck, it would take a lot of time, miss the best time to practice, and there would be no way she could have achieved the cultivation later.
I remember that when Duan Qingyuan casually talked about his experience of practicing for many years, she didn't notice anything unusual at all. Now when she thinks back, she finds that every word he said is actually full of mystery, and she doesn't know how many times he has considered and refined
it. It can let her understand the tricks without being abrupt, so as to avoid her dependence and affect her future practice.
And Duan Qingyuan took so much pains for her because of her mother's instructions.
Sure enough, as she had guessed long ago, her mother never really abandoned herself, but chose to leave out of necessity, otherwise she would not have entrusted Duan Qingyuan to take care of herself.
But where is she now, and what was her hardship at the beginning?
"Senior Duan, do you know my mother?" Gu Qingxi asked impatiently.
"Mother?" Duan Qingyuan's eyes were confused.
"Senior Duan, you've got the wrong person. I'm..." Gu Qingxi was about to reveal her identity.
"Boom." But before she could finish her words, there was a sudden muffled sound under her feet.
The entire Wentian Terrace began to shake, fine cracks spread like spider webs, and cracks appeared in the barrier.
"Not good!" Duan Qingyuan's expression suddenly changed, and then he jumped up, alternating his hands to cast a series of spells.
In the barrier, countless array light patterns emerged, and the dense array points were like a sky full of stars, shining and dazzling.
Gu Qingxi then realized that this barrier was much more delicate and complicated than she had imagined.
Even with Duan Qingyuan's strength at his peak, it would be difficult to lay this barrier without hundreds of years.
It is so difficult to lay a barrier, and it is certainly even more difficult to repair it.
Duan Qingyuan's figure gradually became illusory as he continued to cast spells with his hands.
"What's going on?" Murong Yi asked in surprise.
"Remnant soul, Senior Duan is now just a remnant soul." Gu Qingxi gave the answer.
Because Duan Qingyuan's attack just now was so powerful, even she didn't notice anything unusual, and only then did she realize that he was just a remnant soul.
She finally understood why Duan Qingyuan mistook her for his mother.
Remnant souls have incomplete memories, and usually only retain some of the most important memories.
And her mother, and the promise she made to her mother, were obviously Duan Qingyuan's most important memories.
"What, this is the remnant soul of Qingyuan Tianjun! Wouldn't it be difficult for him to reincarnate?" Di Feixue was even more surprised when she heard this.
The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the soul, and the greater the chance of reincarnation after death.
