Upon hearing the news, the first thing Hua Shi thought of was that he would have very little time alone with Fang Wei.
In the past, because Fang Wei's consciousness lived in Hua Shi's soul, Fang Wei almost never left Hua Shi's side. Even if other people wanted to see Fang Wei, they usually came to Hua Shi to meet him.
Later Fang Wei disappeared, and then returned to his side, and they always stayed together, as if it was supposed to be this way. But it was only now that Hua Shi remembered that, in fact, since Fang Wei escaped from the abyss of disaster, he no longer needed to stay by his side. He could go anywhere he wanted and see whoever he wanted, and that was not something he could interfere with now.
When Hua Shi thought of this, he felt inexplicably depressed.
However, he did not let anyone see these thoughts. Moreover, he knew that Fang Wei's return was also something that other seniors had been looking forward to for a long time. There was no reason for him to monopolize Fang Wei.
He quickly calmed down, looked back at Fang Wei beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Should we let Senior Yi Zhan know that you are back?"
Fang Wei had not asked Hua Shi to inform everyone before because he did not want to delay Hua Shi's work and thought it was unnecessary to mobilize so many people for his own affairs. But now that Yi Zhan happened to be here, it seemed that there was no need to hide anything. Hearing Hua Shi's question, Fang Wei nodded and said, "Go meet him."
Although he did not have any special feeling about the passage of time, as it was just like waking up from a sleep, for everyone, a hundred years had indeed passed, and he had not seen everyone for a hundred years.
While Hua Shi and Fang Wei were talking, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard where they were, followed by the voices of Hanxi Sect disciples. They seemed to be leading someone. Without thinking too much, Fang Wei and Hua Shi already knew who the people coming would be.
Fang Wei glanced at Hua Shi, who was still holding Fang Wei in his palm, gently playing with his hair, and tidying up the clothes that the tailor had just made and sent to him. When Hua Shi noticed Fang Wei's gaze, he immediately understood what the other party meant. He quickly put Fang Wei back on the table, stepped back half a step, and acted respectfully as if treating an elder.
Returning to the table, Fang Wei regained her usual expression and waited for Yi Zhan's arrival.
After all, they haven't seen each other for a long time. If Yi Zhan found him being rubbed in Hua Shi's palm, it would indeed be too different from before.
However, what Fang Wei was more concerned about was his appearance with rabbit ears in his spiritual state. He didn't think it was a big deal in front of Hua Shi, but when he thought that he would face Yi Zhan, Xuan Shuzhi and others in this state, even someone as calm as him felt a little uncomfortable.
However, the other party did not give him much time to hesitate. After a short moment, someone knocked on the door from outside, and then Yi Zhan pushed the door open and walked in.
"Hua Shi, I heard that you found out something. Your master asked me to tell you to go back to Fengyu Palace and leave the matters here to Zhou Li and the others. There is no need for you, the evil master, to go there in person..."
When Yi Zhan entered the room, he was only concerned with talking to himself and didn't pay any attention to other places in the room. When he noticed behind Hua Shi, he suddenly stopped talking and all his attention immediately fell on Fang Wei at the table.
Fang Wei responded to Yi Zhan's gaze, her expression no different from before.
Hua Shi stood beside him with his arms folded, a faint smile on his lips, looking forward to Yi Zhan's reaction to their reunion.
And Yi Zhan's reaction did not disappoint Hua Shi. After a brief moment of shock, he stared at Fang Wei on the other end, blinked fiercely, then suddenly raised his head and asked in a completely different tone: "What's going on?"
Hua Shi knew what Yi Zhan was going to say, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, he is back..."
But before he could finish his words, he heard Yi Zhan's face suddenly change. He continued in one breath: "Who is he? Where did you find a substitute? We all hope that the Evil Lord can come back, but what's the point of you finding a substitute? And where did this spiritual creature come from? He looks so weak. Except for his face, which is the same as the Evil Lord, how can he compare to the Evil Lord? And his rabbit tail and those ears, who is the Evil Lord? Why does he look so weak and vulnerable..."
Fang Wei stood on the table, looked up at Yi Zhan calmly, and listened to what he said without making a sound from beginning to end.
But Hua Shi finally couldn't bear to listen anymore. He coughed twice at Yi Zhan in an attempt to stop him from talking. However, Yi Zhan didn't understand his hint at all and kept talking: "Your master thought you were busy with work and that's why you stayed in Hanxi Sect. I didn't expect you to find a spirit creature here that looks similar to the Evil Lord. You..."
As he said this, Hua Shi on the other end started coughing again.
Fang Wei watched their conversation and was not angry at all, he just found it interesting. After seeing enough of the excitement and listening to Yi Zhan say so much, he finally interrupted them with a faint smile and called out Yi Zhan's name.
Yi Zhan was interrupted and still a little annoyed. He turned his head to look at Fang Wei, then pointed at Hua Shi and said to Fang Wei: "Little guy, you may not know yet, this guy actually kept you because he has a sweetheart who looks like you..."
He paused halfway through his words, turned around and asked Hua Shi, "What did he call me just now?"
Hua Shi shrugged helplessly, and at this moment he could no longer hold back his laughter: "Senior Yi Zhan, please take a closer look."
Yi Zhan's brows were still tightly furrowed: "What are you looking at?"
Hua Shi smiled and said, "Let's see who that is."
Yi Zhan was just too shocked at first, but now seeing the strange attitudes of Hua Shi and Fang Wei, he gradually realized that something was wrong. He stared at Fang Wei for a while and suddenly reacted, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Hua Shi looked at him with amusement: "Senior Yi Zhan, why are you following my old habit of glaring?"
Yi Zhan had no intention of paying attention to Hua Shi's teasing. He fixed his eyes on Fang Wei and was almost speechless. He walked around the table where Fang Wei was several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself several times. In the end, Fang Wei took the initiative to call his name again. He finally calmed down and turned back to Hua Shi to test and confirm: "Is it really the evil master?"
Hua Shi smiled and raised his chin: "I'm right in front of you, why are you asking me?"
Yi Zhan said anxiously: "What if this is a dream and I shatter it?"
Hua Shi shook his head and was almost unable to laugh anymore. It was fortunate that it was Yi Zhan who came that he had such a reaction. However, Hua Shi was also very curious. If it was his master who was here this time, what would his reaction be at this moment.
The shock and joy Yi Zhan showed now were not much different from those of Hua Shi back then. He had just asked Hua Shi that question, but Hua Shi did not answer. Fang Wei took the initiative to say, "It was me, but something unexpected happened in the middle, so I became like this now."
Yi Zhan was puzzled and asked, "Accident?"
At this time, he could no longer tell what his mood was, and even his conversation was unconsciously repeating what Fang Wei had just said.
Seeing that Fang Wei was not going to hide anything, Hua Shi was ready to speak up to explain for him. However, just as he opened his mouth, Yi Zhan stopped him again: "Wait!"
Hua Shi: “…”
He roughly guessed what Yi Zhan was going to do, and sure enough, after a moment, Yi Zhan took out a few talismans from his waist.
Fang Wei also noticed Yi Zhan's actions. When he saw the talisman, he asked, "Voice transmission talisman?"
Yi Zhan still felt a bit like he was dreaming when he saw Fang Wei talking. He said vaguely, "It's a voice transmission talisman, but it has been improved a lot over the years. As long as the people are on the talisman contact list, using the talisman will allow everyone to hear the conversation."
"It's like a group chat." Hua Shi was afraid that Fang Wei didn't understand what Yi Zhan was explaining, so he added in a low voice: "I also contributed to improving this spell."
This was a special talisman that Fang Wei had never seen a hundred years ago. However, for Fang Wei, the fact that the talisman could have these changes was not surprising enough. What really surprised him was that Hua Shi was involved in it. You know, making a talisman of this level is not a simple matter. The fact that Hua Shi could participate already represents his ability in making talismans.
What Hua Shi has explored over the years and his progress are probably much greater than Fang Wei had imagined.
Fang Wei didn't say these words, but Yi Zhan had already activated the talisman.
There seemed to be a noisy sound coming from the other end of the talisman, and it sounded like it was coming from not just one place. Obviously, other people had heard Yi Zhan's movements and also activated the talisman.
Yi Zhan had hurriedly activated the talisman to contact everyone, but when everyone else was summoned by him, he suddenly froze in place, as if he didn't know how to start, and just kept his eyes fixed on Fang Wei.
Fang Wei nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't care about his whereabouts being known to everyone.
The others had been waiting for a long time. Fang Wei and Hua Shi clearly heard Xuan Shuzhi's voice on the other end of the spell: "Yi Zhan? Didn't you just leave Po Xue Zhai? Did you find Hua Shi?"
Then Wen Zhong's voice came again: "He left Po Xue Zhai? Where did he go?"
Someone else said calmly, "Shouldn't he be guarding Xuan Shuzhi in Xuanling Pavilion? So he still remembers that he has a Poxuezhai?"
This is Bai Heng's voice.
Several people dragged the topic further and further away, but only Wen Zhong was still trying to care about the reason why Yi Zhan opened the spell just now: "What happened? Did something happen to Hua Shi?"
Lu Yao's voice also interrupted at this time: "What did he find out?"
When everyone didn't hear Yi Zhan's response, they continued talking.
Yi Zhan listened to them talking, holding the talisman with slightly trembling hands. Because the force was too strong and he couldn't control it, he almost tore the talisman, and wrinkles appeared on all sides. He took a deep breath and finally found his jerky voice: "The evil master is back."
He said this abruptly, as if he was suddenly thrown into the conversation among everyone. However, it was this sudden sentence that made everyone stop talking at the same time.
There were clearly several people exchanging spells, but at this moment it suddenly became silent, leaving only the sound of shallow breathing.
Yi Zhan knew that everyone was waiting, so he didn't waste any time and brought the talisman closer. This time, his voice was not as nervous as before. He said, "We are in Hanxi Sect now."
