Hua Shi's gaze froze for a moment, his eyes closely following the figure that walked in from the door, as if he was not paying attention to anything else, with only that figure in his eyes.
The Huimengzhu recalled the scenes from a thousand years ago, but in Hua Shi's eyes, it seemed as if it was happening right now.
Ever since Hua Shi first saw Liu Qishuang in a painting, he asserted that the painting must not have captured Liu Qishuang's spirit. However, when he actually saw this person in Hui Mengzhu's illusion, Hua Shi realized that his judgment was wrong. Although the portrait was beautiful, it was not even one-tenth as charming as Liu Qishuang.
At this time, Hua Shi even subconsciously held his breath. He watched the man walking towards him. Although he knew that this was a re-creation of what happened a thousand years ago, Hua Shi still couldn't help but take a half step back. He instinctively wanted to make way for him, as if even getting too close to the other person was a disrespect.
Liu Qishuang in the Hui Mengzhu scene naturally would not notice Hua Shi. When he entered the house, his steps were a little unsteady and his face was pale. It was not known whether it was because he was injured or had not recovered from a serious illness. After entering the house, he came to the wall where the sword was hung in the room, looked up at the snow-white sword hanging in the room, which was the sword that Hua Shi had chosen not long ago.
Hua Shi noticed this scene, and for some reason he felt that it was not the sword that was being stared at, but himself.
Although he knew that this happened only a thousand years ago and Liu Qishuang would not recognize him at all, Hua Shi just had a strange feeling, as if he was being exposed to Liu Qishuang's gaze at this moment.
What Hua Shi didn't know was that his feeling was not wrong. From a certain perspective, Liu Qishuang was indeed watching him a thousand years later, but not from Liu Qishuang's perspective. Instead, it was from the perspective of Fang Wei, whose spiritual consciousness was integrated into Hua Shi's soul.
For Fang Wei, it was really a different experience to suddenly look at his past self from a different perspective after so many years, and what made this experience even more unusual was Hua Shi's reaction.
He could not quite remember when the scene shown by Huimengzhu happened. In Fang Wei's impression, he had not stayed in the Lingdao headquarters for too long. It was not until ten years after he came to the headquarters that he started to enter and exit this secret room.
However, he went in and out very frequently, and from what he could see at the moment, it was difficult for him to judge which time it was. Now he just hoped that the following scene would not reveal too many of his secrets and would not let Hua Shi discover anything wrong.
Just as Fang Wei was carefully recalling what would happen next, the door of the secret room was suddenly knocked from outside.
No matter Fang Wei or Hua Shi, they were both stunned when they heard the knock on the door. They turned back to look at the closed door, thinking that someone had found the main hall and the secret room.
However, when they discovered that Liu Qishuang in the Huimengzhu scene also turned her head, they both realized at the same time that the knock on the door came from the scene a thousand years ago.
Hua Shi looked at the door in some confusion, wondering who was knocking on the door looking for Liu Qishuang at this time. At this time, Fang Wei finally remembered what was going on.
This scene should have happened when he had been at the Lingdao headquarters for thirteen years. It was the day of the Lingdao general election. All the aristocratic families and prominent sects in the entire Lingdao sent people to participate in the election. Because of his special status, he was required to appear in front of everyone in a spiritualized state.
At that time, Fang Wei refused to agree and tried every excuse to avoid spiritual transformation. However, the rest of the people in the Spiritual Dao refused to give in and came forward to persuade him.
He had no choice but to hide in a secret room to seek peace and quiet. However, he didn't expect that even after hiding in the secret room, someone still insisted on finding him.
Fang Wei’s recollections ended here. He looked at Liu Qishuang in the Huimengzhu picture and listened to the knock on the door. His expression was strange for a moment. Then he finally frowned and came to the door of the secret room and opened it again.
Standing outside the door was a young man in a green shirt. Seeing Liu Qishuang open the door, the young man couldn't help but look inside for a few times. When Liu Qishuang gently tapped his forehead, he smiled and covered his forehead and said, "After so many times, I finally see what this secret room looks like. It turns out that there are really so many magic weapons hidden here!"
Liu Qishuang ignored the boy's glib words and immediately said, "You came here to talk about the spiritual transformation, right?"
The young man blinked towards the room, expressing his intention to enter. Liu Qishuang did not stop him and let him walk in. She just took down the snow-colored sword from the wall and wiped it. She turned her back to the young man and whispered, "But no matter what you say, I will not agree."
The boy was very confused: "Why?"
Seeing that Liu Qishuang did not answer, the boy continued to ask questions. Liu Qishuang in the Hui Mengzhu scene had not responded yet, but Fang Wei found that Hua Shi had stood in front of the boy with a frown and dissatisfaction, looking down at him with his arms folded.
Fang Wei didn't understand why Hua Shi was fighting with a phantom, and couldn't help asking: "Host, what are you doing?"
Hua Shi pointed at the boy and said, "This guy is annoying."
Of course Fang Wei knew that this guy was annoying. This little fellow named Ji Yuan had been with him since his teenage years and had experienced a lot of things during that time. Although he had indeed grown into a reliable assistant who could stand on his own, during the period that Hui Mengzhu had seen, he was indeed still a guy who caused trouble every day.
Fang Wei just thought that Hua Shi understood Ji Yuan's attributes through the illusion of Huimeng Pearl, but she didn't expect that Hua Shi didn't care about whether Ji Yuan was a naughty kid or not. The reason why he had a vague and strange feeling towards this young man was just because of some kind of emotion called jealousy.
Unfortunately, the boy in the Huimengzhu scene could not sense Hua Shi's existence. He still pestered Liu Qishuang, hoping that he could show his spiritual state in the next spiritual election, but Liu Qishuang refused to agree no matter what. This made the boy wonder: "Why? Ah Shuang, your spiritual sea level is obviously very high. When you entered the spiritual altar, you underwent the test and you did have your own contracted spiritual object. Why don't you want to use the spiritual state to let us know what your spiritual object is?"
Liu Qishuang didn't look back, and said calmly: "Is it important what my contracted spirit object is? Why do you have to know? And even if I don't use the spiritual state, I have never lost an important battle so far. What difference does it make even if I don't enter the spiritual state?"
"That's different!" The young man said quickly following Liu Qishuang's words, "Of course it's different. The Spirit Path election is coming soon. Your position is unstable now. Everyone wants to drive you down from this position. You should know that what the Spirit Path people recognize most is the power of the Spirit Sea, and what they value most is the strength after spiritualization. If you are unwilling to enter the spiritualization state, how can everyone be willing to let you continue to stay in this position, and how can they recognize your strength?"
After hearing this, Liu Qishuang finally turned around and looked at the young man.
Although he didn't show any expression, when the boy met Liu Qishuang's gaze, for some reason he couldn't continue speaking. He just stared at him with wide eyes, as if he was competing with him for something.
Liu Qishuang stared at the young man for a long while. Before he could speak, the young man suddenly said, "It has been like this since a long time ago. Why do you always hide things? What secrets are you hiding? Or is it that your spiritual form cannot be shown to everyone? Why?"
Hearing this, Liu Qishuang suddenly stopped moving.
The young man noticed his reaction, his expression changed and he immediately asked, "Is it really because of this?"
At this time, Hua Shi and Fang Wei were still watching the conversation. It was clearly something that happened a long time ago, but because of the effect of the Huimeng Pearl, it seemed as if it was happening right in front of them. Fang Wei felt nostalgic, thinking that he had not seen Ji Yuan like this for a long time, and wondered what his situation was like now. But Hua Shi saw this and his face was full of impatience.
"How can this little guy talk like that?" Hua Shi said indignantly on behalf of Liu Qishuang, "Who is he yelling at?"
Fang Wei looked at Hua Shi jumping up and down at the illusion from many years ago, and actually found this scene very interesting. He didn't say anything for a while, just looking at the picture of time and space intertwined thousands of years apart. He thought that Hua Shi didn't know that his appearance was no different from Ji Yuan's.
At this time, Liu Qishuang in the Huimengzhu illusion finally spoke. He didn't care about the younger boy's collision, and turned around and smiled at the boy. Hua Shi, who was originally scolding the boy, was also looking in the direction of Liu Qishuang at this time. The moment he saw his smile, Hua Shi couldn't help but be stunned.
"Did I see it wrong?" Hua Shi blinked and looked directly at the face of the person in the Huimengzhu illusion. He couldn't help but quickly check with the system in his mind: "Did the color of Ah Shuang's eyes change?"
Fang Wei: “…”
For some unknown reason, this person actually followed the young Ji Yuan's example and called himself "A Shuang".
He responded to Hua Shi's question with silence and had no intention of answering, but he was very clear in his mind that the color of Liu Qishuang's pupils in his fantasy had indeed changed.
Those deep black pupils have now turned scarlet.
At this time, Liu Qishuang walked towards the young man, lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "Don't you want to see what my spiritual form looks like?"
The boy had been very insistent when he raised his doubts before, but now he was a little hesitant, but beyond the hesitation there was also a little expectation: "Can I...really watch it?"
Liu Qishuang nodded gently: "Of course."
Then suddenly a light golden halo flashed from Liu Qishuang's body, and between the light and shadow, Liu Qishuang's figure gradually changed.
Hua Shi watched the scene carefully. Seeing this, he couldn't help but grab the corner of his clothes tightly like the young man and looked nervous.
However, at this moment——
The scene in front of me suddenly disappeared, the light and the figure disappeared at the same time, the tables, chairs and cabinets in front of me were covered with dust again, and the room had returned to its appearance after being abandoned for many years.
The ten-minute effect of the Dream Returning Pearl has expired.
