Even Hua Xiangwan was shocked when these words came out.

Lingdong and Lingbei were stunned for a moment before Lingdong showed an expression of understanding and nodded, "Heavenly Sword Sect..."

The dual cultivation sect that Hehuan Palace has always dreamed of, the young master is awesome!

After reacting, Lingdong and Lingbei calmed down and looked at Hua Xiangwan with a bit of admiration. Lingbei immediately said, "I'll report it right away!"

Having said that, Ling Bei turned into a stream of light and rushed back.

Lingdong stayed and couldn't help looking at Xie Changji. Hua Xiangwan didn't say much because Lingdong was there, so she just said, "Let's go."

The three of them walked slowly toward the palace gate. Lingdong wanted to talk more with Xie Changji, so he couldn't help but keep asking, "How old is Xie Daojun?"

"It should be twenty-one."

"Oh, then he is the same age as our young master." Ling Dong ignored the "should" and continued to ask, "How old are you?"

Xie Changji glanced at Hua Xiangwan. He was now trying to pretend that he remembered nothing, so it was impossible for him to remember something like his birthday.

Hua Xiangwan rolled her eyes and replied unhappily, "The first month of the year."

"That's three months older than the young master." Ling Dong said, and then began to interrogate, "How many people are there in your family? Did you grow up in the Tianjian Sect? Are you an inner disciple or an outer disciple? Are you..."

"Lingdong." Hua Xiangwan interrupted him, "We're here."

Lingdong looked back and saw that they had indeed arrived at the palace gate.

He felt quite regretful and stepped forward and said, "The people have arrived."

After hearing this, the palace gate slowly opened. Hua Xiangwan stood in front of the palace gate and saw a large group of people standing densely after the gate opened.

The leader was a woman in black with a ponytail and a sword on her waist. She looked to be in her early twenties, but she had already reached the level of a spirit.

Behind her stood a young couple and a young man in black. The man was wearing silver clothes with blue stripes, and the woman was wearing blue clothes with silver stripes. They stood together hand in hand. The woman's belly was slightly bulging, and it was obvious that she was pregnant.

The young man in black next to him was also quite handsome, with a short knife hanging from his waist, his hair tied with a red rope, and bright eyes.

Behind them were hundreds of young people, all leaning forward.

Xie Changji took a careful look. The Hehuan Palace at this moment was somewhat different from the later ones. There was no row of flags on the square as he had seen before. Everything looked very new and exquisite.

Hua Xiangwan looked at these people and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The black-clad woman standing at the head laughed when she saw this: "Why, after a trip to Yunlai, you've become sentimental?"

"Master..." Hua Xiangwan choked up and said, she knelt down on both knees and bowed in front of everyone. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they heard Hua Xiangwan speak hoarsely, "Disciple Hua Xiangwan, return safely."

"What are you doing?"

The young man in black was frightened by her and quickly stepped forward to support her: "Ah Wan, did you suffer any injustice in Yunlai?"

"Yes," the woman in blue also came up, with a worried look on her face, and supported her and said, "Ah Wan, who hurt you? Tell me, and I will avenge you."

"Is Wan injured?"

"Who?! Who moved the hand?!"

Hearing that Hua Xiangwan was injured, everyone was excited. Hua Xiangwan shook her head and said, "It's nothing, Second Brother, First Sister. I sacrificed the clone I cultivated when I sealed the ghost spirit. I'm not hurt."

Cultivating an "avatar" is the secret technique of the Hehuan Palace. One more "avatar" is equal to one more life. Hua Xiangwan sacrificed an avatar, so his cultivation level must have plummeted. Everyone knew it, so no one said much.

"Go back and rest first," the woman in black said with a sigh, "You've worked hard this time."

As she spoke, the woman in black raised her head and looked at Xie Changji beside her. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "This young man...you are..."

"He's my friend!"

This time, Hua Xiangwan did not give Xie Changji a chance to talk nonsense and spoke immediately.

Xie Changji nodded obediently and said respectfully, "I am Xie Changji, a junior disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Nice to meet you, senior."

Needless to say, the three words "Tianjian Sect" made everyone change their expressions.

The young man in black couldn't help but slap Hua Xiangwan on the shoulder and said, "Ah Wan, you can do it! Did you really do it when I told you to?"

"Not bad," Master Hua Xiangwan nodded with satisfaction, "At the age of 21, you are already a Yuan infant, one step away from becoming a spirit. Your swordsmanship is pure and your mind is firm. It is rare to find a talent like you."

"Master," the silver-clad young man who had been silent all this time spoke up, "Let them go in first."

As he spoke, the young man in silver clothes walked to the side of Xie Changji and said gently, "Fellow Daoist, please come in."

As he spoke, Xie Changji felt the pressure of the God-Transforming Stage coming towards him. He remained calm and said, "Please."

Hua Xiangwan watched the silver-clad youth walk over and was quite worried: "Will Senior Brother do anything?"

"Is that what worries you?"

The woman in blue smiled and supported her to comfort her: "Don't worry, Senior Brother knows what's going on."

"At most, a few bones will be broken," the black-clothed young man added, "Don't feel bad."

Hua Xiangwan said nothing, but turned around to look at Xie Changji who was surrounded by people.

Everyone rushed forward, chattering and asking questions. The pressure from the eldest senior brother never faded. Xie Changji remained calm as usual, and calmly answered all the questions.

Hua Xiangwan was helped back to her room by the senior sister. After a careful examination, she began to prescribe a prescription for her: "Sacrificing a clone is not a small matter. You have to take care of it slowly."

Hua Xiangwan said nothing. She looked at Senior Sister's belly and asked gently, "How many months?"

The senior sister smiled, with a gentle look on her face: "Seven months."

"Have you thought of a name?"

Hearing this, the eldest sister lowered her head with a look of expectation: "Lingdong, Lingxi, Lingnan, Lingbei, I heard that there is still one Lingnan missing, to make up the number for them."

"How can we be so careless?" Hua Xiangwan laughed.

The eldest senior sister handed the prescription to the attendant beside her: "I said so too, so I'm still thinking about it with him. Your senior brother said that there are guards in the east, south, west and north, and Hehuan Palace is safe. Don't talk about me, but you," the eldest senior sister's smile faded a little, "Yi Chen he..."

When Hua Xiangwan heard Shen Yichen's name, she lowered her eyes and asked, "Where is he?"

"As you ordered," said the senior sister in a deep voice, "under the glacier."

"I see." Hua Xiangwan nodded, "I'll go and see it later."

The senior sister didn't say anything else. After a while, she sighed and said, "Go to bed early."

"Where is Xie Changji?"

Hua Xiangwan was a little worried when she saw that Xie Changji hadn't come back yet. The eldest senior sister smiled and said, "Your brothers have detained him. They want to go see Yi Chen..." The eldest senior sister pursed her lips and said, "Hurry up and go."

Having said that, she packed up her things, got up and left.

After Hua Xiangwan washed up, she put on her clothes and walked to the glacier as she knew the way.

Compared to two hundred years later, the glacier at this time was not that cold. She stood on the ice and could clearly see the person sleeping peacefully under the glacier.

He changed his clothes to cover the knife scar on his chest caused by his heart being cut open.

She looked down at the people in the glacier and spoke softly, "Yi Chen, I've brought Xie Changji back."

As she spoke, she half-knelt down and touched the ice: "Don't be afraid, you will be back soon."

The person under the ice was covered by ice, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. Spiritual power spread from her hands, and the ice surface formed layer by layer, completely covering his appearance.

She stayed in the glacier for a long time, and only came back in the middle of the night with a lamp. From a distance, she saw Xie Changji on the corridor, being carried by her second senior brother, and walking unsteadily.

Hua Xiangwan walked forward with a lamp in hand, and seeing Xie Changji almost completely asleep, she was somewhat shocked. She couldn't help but look up at her second senior brother Wang Xiu, frowning, "Did you guys drink too much?"

"How can it be too much..." Wang Xiu felt a little guilty, "Just one cup per person."

"There are more than a hundred of you!"

Hua Xiangwan glared at him and reached out to take the person back from Wangxiu's hands.

"Tsk tsk," Wang Xiu watched her let the person in, leaning against the door and mocking, "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're protecting someone like this?"

"Hurry up and leave!"

Hua Xiangwan grabbed a pillow from the side and threw it over.

Wang Xiu dodged to the side and said anxiously, "I told you that you should get married soon and find someone to take care of you!"

"Get lost!"

This time, Hua Xiangwan directly threw a magic ball. Wang Xiu didn't dare to stay any longer, so he closed the door and ran away.

As soon as Wang Xiu left, everything finally calmed down.

Hua Xiangwan turned her head and glanced at Xie Changji lying on the bed. She felt helpless. She fed him some hangover medicine and got some water to wipe his face. She heard him mumbling something in a daze. She went over and heard Xie Changji saying, "Master, Bai Zhuyue."

"Big Brother, Xiao Wen Feng."

"Master Sister, this is Qin Yinyu."

"Second Senior Brother, Cheng Wangxiu."

"Second Senior Sister..."

Hua Xiangwan was stunned, and then she realized that he was memorizing everyone's name.

She stared at Xie Changji blankly, then saw him slowly open his eyes and look at Hua Xiangwan, as if he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

After a while, he reached out and hugged her, whispering, "I will remember everything."

Hua Xiangwan didn't know why, but she felt a little uncomfortable. She heard Xie Changji whispering: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

She didn't know what he was saying sorry for.

But she heard a kind of pain in his voice. She hugged him and patted his back: "Okay, there's nothing to be sorry about. Go to sleep."

However, Xie Changji just kept shaking his head and repeatedly said, "I'm sorry."

Hua Xiangwan was helpless. She let down the bed curtains and lay down with Xie Changji. She listened to him talk for a long time before finally falling asleep.

He turned over habitually and held her in his arms. Holding her, he finally felt at ease.

The two slept for a night, and when they woke up the next day, Master Bai Zhuyue sent someone to invite them over.

Hua Xiangwan took Xie Changji to meet Bai Zhuyue. Bai Zhuyue had been waiting in the teahouse for a long time. When the two of them arrived, she smiled and said, "You're here?"

Hua Xiangwan and Xie Changji stepped forward together, and Xie Changji said respectfully, "Senior."

"I heard that Wen Feng brought people to get you drunk last night. Are you okay?" Bai Zhuyue glanced at Xie Changji with a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.

Xie Changji looked calm and said, "My fellow brothers are so warm and hospitable. It's just that Changji's alcohol tolerance is too low."

"Ah Wan, wait a moment."

Bai Zhuyue asked Hua Xiangwan to go out. Hua Xiangwan hesitated for a moment, stood up, gave Xie Changji a look that said "don't talk nonsense", and walked out.

Bai Zhuyue watched Hua Xiangwan leave. She lowered her head and poured tea for Xie Changji: "You are not cultivating the sword of love, are you?"

"I am a disciple of the Sword of Heart, a junior disciple."

"Sword of the Heart..." Bai Zhuyue said indifferently, "Are you really willing to come to the Western Territory?"

"I have changed the route for Wanwan."

Bai Zhuyue paused at this, and raised her head with a frown on her face. "Do you know what you are saying?"

"Know."

Xie Changji said in a calm voice, "I had already explained the situation to the elders before coming to the Western Territory. This time I came to the Western Territory without any ties. So Master, don't worry." Xie Changji raised his eyes, "Although I practice the Sword of Questioning the Heart, the world can see my heart for Wanwan."

"Does Wan know about this?"

"I don't know yet. I'm worried that she will feel burdened."

Hearing this, Bai Zhuyue said nothing. She lowered her head to drink tea. After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "I don't understand you young people either. Just like it. Ah Wan's mother is still in seclusion. I'll see you after she comes out."

"yes."

"You go and rest first. I'll talk to Wan."

"yes."

Xie Changji walked out the door and called Hua Xiangwan in. Bai Zhuyue and Hua Xiangwan learned about Yunlai's situation and frowned: "So, what you mean is that although the ghost spirit is sealed, it is divided into two, one half fell into the Lingxu Secret Realm, and the other half is missing."

"nice."

“But you don’t seem worried.”

Bai Zhuyue pointed out her faults directly. Hua Xiangwan was shocked. Bai Zhuyue looked at her and said, "Ah Wan, is there something you didn't tell me?"

"Master..."

Hua Xiangwan lowered her head, clenched her fists, and said hesitantly: "I..."

"Can't tell?"

Bai Zhuyue understood. Hua Xiangwan pursed her lips and said, "I can tell you, but I don't know what the impact will be."

Hearing this, Bai Zhuyue thought for a moment and nodded: "Then I won't ask, just let it go. When your mother comes out, you can take Xie Changji to see her. Oh, have you met his elder?"

"Yes."

Hua Xiangwan felt relieved when Bai Zhuyue talked about Xie Changji. Bai Zhuyue smiled and said, "Not bad. If you are asked to kidnap someone, you should kidnap someone as good as this one. You can use him well."

Bai Zhuyue patted Hua Xiangwan on the shoulder and said, "You two are a double cultivation couple. Even if we don't talk about love, it's still worth it. Use it more, and you will be able to transcend the tribulation soon. Oh, I don't think I taught you too many double cultivation secrets before. Hu Mian, that half-baked guy, taught you some improper things every day. Otherwise, Yinyu..."

"No need," Hua Xiangwan quickly raised her hand after understanding what Bai Zhuyue was going to say, "Don't bother Senior Sister, I can learn on my own, that's enough!"

When Bai Zhuyue heard this, she laughed out loud and started chatting with Hua Xiangwan.

Although she was almost seven hundred years old, she always talked to Hua Xiangwan like a friend. The two chatted for an entire afternoon. Hua Xiangwan heard the crowd outside making noise, and then heard Qin Yinyu knocking on the door: "Master, Humian is back."

"You're back?"

Bai Zhu smiled, put down the cup, and was about to say something when he heard Qin Yinyu say, "He also brought back a sword cultivator."

Hearing this, Bai Zhuyue raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Hua Xiangwan: "Did you two make an appointment?"

"Where can we make an appointment here?"

Hua Xiangwan shook her head, stood up, and held out her hand for Bai Zhuyue: "Let's go and take a look together."

Bai Zhuyue led Hua Xiangwan and Qin Yinyu out. When they arrived at the square, they saw Xie Changji and Qin Xinsheng being blocked in the martial arts training ground by a group of disciples.

Everyone took turns competing with them, and the others cheered loudly.

Hua Xiangwan walked over, Hu Mian turned around, saw her, and hurried forward: "Junior sister!"

"Senior sister."

Hua Xiangwan smiled, Hu Mian reached out and held her hand, hesitating for a moment before saying, "Are you...are you okay?"

"What can I do?"

Hua Xiangwan smiled and pointed at Xie Changji: "Look, I brought everyone back."

Hu Mian nodded after hearing this, as if relieved, and then said: "Yi Chen...we will find a way."

"I know."

Everyone was chatting together and looking up at the young men fighting on the stage.

Qin Xinsheng and Xie Changji were beaten in a car battle for an entire afternoon. Both of them were injured and were taken back.

Hua Xiangwan took Xie Changji back to his room and applied medicine to him. While applying the medicine, she comforted him: "My fellow brothers also want to learn the swordsmanship of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Please don't be offended."

"I see."

Xie Changji nodded.

But in fact, he knew that it was just a group of brothers who wanted to test him. Just like when a little sister from the Heaven Sword Sect wanted to marry outside the sect, the Sword of Love almost killed her.

At that time he didn't understand, so Kunxuzi explained to him that he was worried and wanted to test whether this person could give Junior Sister a stable life, so this person couldn't lose, otherwise he would be incompetent, but he couldn't win too well, otherwise everyone would lose face.

But he would not tell Hua Xiangwan these things. He silently let Hua Xiangwan apply medicine. After the wound was treated, he received a message from Hu Mian, saying that she was treating everyone to dinner and asked everyone to go.

Hu Mian had booked a high-end restaurant. When Hua Xiangwan and Xie Changji went over, they saw that the restaurant was already full. When the two of them entered, Hu Mian called out, "Ah Wan, come over here."

Hua Xiangwan and Xie Changji squeezed into the main table. Hu Mian called everyone to eat and drink together. After three rounds of drinks, Hu Mian stood up and said loudly: "Today, I invite all the brothers and sisters to dinner. Actually, there is something I want to tell you."

Hearing her words, everyone looked over. Hu Mian smiled and turned to look at Qin Xiansheng next to her: "I, Hu Mian, am planning to get married!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present started to laugh. Hu Mian raised his hand and asked everyone to be quiet: "Today I have something to say to everyone. According to the rules of our palace, I will hold an engagement banquet first, and then a wedding banquet. Xinsheng and I have chosen a date for the engagement banquet. It will be next month, November 13th. Everyone notify all the palace ladies to come back and celebrate properly!"

"good."

Xiao Wenfeng spoke, and the others responded, "Everyone, listen up, okay? Each branch should call back all the disciples under their own tutelage, and bring honor to Humian."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Hu Mian heard Xiao Wenfeng's words and hurriedly thanked him.

Xiao Wenfeng sneered and turned to look at Hua Xiangwan: "Ah Wan, what about you? When will you decide?"

"Let's talk about it later," Hua Xiangwan said, holding the wine, "I still have to wait for my mother to come out of confinement."

"That's right," Qin Yinyu laughed, "Other people's marriages are up to them, but Ah Wan's marriage is personally supervised by the Palace Master."

"Who will take charge of Hu Mian's engagement banquet?"

Xiao Wenfeng glanced around, and Hua Xiangwan immediately raised her hand: "I'll do it."

It was she who did it two hundred years ago, and this time, let her do it again.

"Okay!" Hu Mian said happily, "Ah Wan, I'm confident in leaving it to you. Senior Sister will give you a toast."

Hua Xiangwan nodded, raised her glass and drank with Hu Mian.

After the engagement banquet was scheduled, Hehuan Palace became busy. Engagement did not require inviting many outsiders like a marriage, but there were still many people in Hehuan Palace, and every detail of eating and drinking had to be taken care of.

In her previous life, Hua Xiangwan was ill and there was no thorough check-up, so many things were handled by other people. This time, she came in person and checked everything from food selection to porcelain.

Qin Xiansheng was handed over to Xie Changji, who was in charge of keeping an eye on him.

Seven days before the engagement, Xie Changji suddenly came back and told Hua Xiangwan: "Qin Xinsheng is leaving."

"Where are you going?"

Hua Xiangwan turned around immediately.

"He said he wanted to go to Duanchang Village to retrieve the wine that he had buried half a year ago."

Hua Xiangwan frowned when she heard this, and then said, "You go with him."

"good."

As Xie Changji spoke, Hua Xiangwan felt a little worried. He was just a Yuanying now, and it was always dangerous for him to go out alone.

She thought for a moment, then took out the retrospective mirror and handed it to Xie Changji.

"Take the tracing mirror with you. If you encounter danger, you can use it to escape. This world is controlled by the tracing mirror. If you have no choice, you can turn it on and leave here."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips and said, "Being alive is the most important thing."

"I see."

Xie Changji nodded, turned around and prepared to leave, when he suddenly heard a slow and rapid knock on the window.

Xie Changji turned around and looked over. Hua Xiangwan had a calm expression and just said, "Hurry up."

Xie Changji hesitated for a moment, glanced at the window again, and finally left.

After Xie Changji left, Hua Xiangwan walked to the window, opened it, and saw a black crow jumping by the side. It tilted its head and said, "Where is the man you brought back from Yunlai? I came all the way from Mingluan Palace, not just to see you."

"I'm leaving."

Hua Xiangwan turned and walked into the house, saying nonchalantly: "Hurry up and find your Wangxiu. It's not easy for you to come here."

"Isn't it?"

The crow jumped down from the window and transformed into a young lady. She looked around and sighed, "It's a pity that I'm late. I've been sent to the border again. I don't know when I'll come to visit our Wangxiu next time."

Hua Xiangwan said nothing and poured herself a cup of tea.

Qin Yunshang sat next to her and thought for a while: "That...Shen Yichen's matter..."

"If you know, don't mention it."

Hua Xiangwan interrupted her and urged her, "Hurry up and go see Wang Xiu. Your lover is more important than your sisters."

"Look at what you're saying," Qin Yunshang propped up her chin, "After Wangxiu and I get married, we can see each other every day. It will be different for sisters. If you get kidnapped, I will see you less and less."

"Don't worry, I won't run away."

Hua Xiangwan drank some water and said, "We have a long life ahead of us."

"Okay," Qin Yunshang stood up, "Now that I know you're okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I'm pressed for time. I have to go see Wangxiu and then I'll leave."

"Um."

"Wangxiu and I have agreed that he will come to propose marriage when your mother comes out of confinement. Then we can see each other more often, instead of being so secretive like now. I've had enough of that damn place, Mingluan Palace."

"Got it," Hua Xiangwan looked down at the ground, "Hurry up."

"Okay."

Qin Yunshang stood up and jumped out of the window.

Hua Xiangwan watched her back disappear into the moonlight, picked up the cup, and drank the cool water in it.

Xie Changji was not far away, watching Qin Yunshang leave.

His mind flashed back to when he was still "Xie Wushuang", when he first met Hua Xiangwan, and when Qin Yunshang assassinated Hua Xiangwan.

He frowned slightly.

But after a moment, he didn't want to think about it anymore, and quietly jumped down from the eaves, following Qin Xinsheng's trail, and left Hehuan Palace.
