Hua Shi’s judgment was not wrong. Fang Wei had indeed been to Tianqing City, and if Fang Wei’s memory was correct, he had even stayed here.
Although a thousand years have passed, for a cultivator, it is not yet to the point of drastic changes. Tianqing City has indeed changed a lot in a thousand years. This restaurant is certainly not the same one as before, but the bustling areas are similar. Fang Wei has been here many times, and maybe he has stayed in this place at one of these times. Hua Shi's use of the Huiguang Pearl may seem reckless, but in fact, it is very likely that he will see the Fang Wei of that year.
But I don’t know what kind of picture the Huiguangzhu will show this time, and whether it will reveal something that Fang Wei doesn’t want to be exposed.
It was too late to stop it. The moment the Huiguangzhu emitted a hazy halo, the surrounding scene had already changed. The furnishings and decorations in the room became completely different. When Hua Shi opened the door of the room, even the scenery outside had become completely unfamiliar.
"Did it really work?" Hua Shi couldn't help but feel surprised, but after he reacted, he quickly walked outside, "Where is Liu Qishuang?"
After the experience that the scene of Huiguangzhu was interrupted at the critical moment last time, Hua Shi knew in his heart that the scene of Huiguangzhu this time would only last ten minutes, so he was unwilling to waste even a moment. The moment he confirmed that he had entered the illusion of a thousand years ago, he had already begun to look for Liu Qishuang's trace.
Fang Wei was also a little stunned. Too much time had passed, and he had experienced a lot in Tianqing City. He really couldn't recall where this scene was, and what he did there.
He remained silent, watching Hua Shi walk through the corridor and into the courtyard of the restaurant. Only then did he realize that it was spring in the illusion, with peach blossoms in full bloom in the courtyard. In the past, he was standing under a peach tree with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly lowered, as if he was thinking about something, or perhaps just waiting for someone.
Hua Shi's steps suddenly stopped.
He had obviously recognized Liu Qishuang under the tree.
"How strange." Hua Shi stood outside the courtyard and did not step forward immediately. He just blinked at the figure stained with moonlight and whispered to the system in his heart: "Although I know very well that what I saw was an illusion, this was all a scene created by the Huiguang Pearl, but when I looked at him, I felt... I felt as if I had really walked in front of him."
Fang Wei listened quietly to Hua Shi's words without saying a word.
Of course, he could not have expected that someone would be able to see him through the Huiguang Pearl back then, but after seeing this scene with Hua Shi, Fang Wei quickly remembered when the scene in front of him happened.
Coincidentally, this incident happened shortly after what Hua Shi saw last time at the headquarters using the Huiguang Pearl.
Just as Lu Yao said to Hua Shi not long ago, Liu Qishuang once temporarily took over as the master of the spiritual path.
This matter seemed a bit coincidental, and even Fang Wei himself found it a bit funny, but this was indeed the case. The appearance of Liu Qishuang's identity was truly an unexpected accident.
At that time, Fang Wei was accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Fengyu Palace, but things were not so smooth. There were many forces in Fengyu Palace, and the evil ways were rampant. Fang Wei practiced with the Lord in Fengyu Palace. Because of the Lord's protection, he lived a relatively stable life for a period of time. But one time, the Lord was injured and went into seclusion, and all the guys in Fengyu Palace who had prejudices against him showed up.
At that time, he was unable to enter the spiritual state because his spiritual sea was completely destroyed, and his body was also in a special condition, so he was unable to fight against those guys at all. So there is no doubt that he was seriously injured by those guys, and finally he escaped from the Wind and Rain Palace with great effort.
Perhaps because he did not look like a person of evil ways, he fainted on the side of the road after leaving Fengyu Palace and was picked up by people from the Lingdao headquarters.
That group of people thought that he was a spiritual person who was persecuted by Fengyu Palace, so they rescued him, treated his injuries and let him stay. He had nowhere to go at that time, so when the spiritual people asked about his origins and identity, he made up a name for himself. That identity was Liu Qishuang.
But at that time Fang Wei had no idea that he would stay in Lingdao for such a long time.
He originally just wanted to use the power of Lingdao to temporarily avoid being hunted down by those guys in Fengyu Palace, but he didn't know why he caught the attention of the people in Lingdao. After staying in Lingdao for half a year, he did not wait for his master to come out of retreat and take him back to Fengyu Palace, but unexpectedly received the favor of the master of Lingdao.
What happened afterwards was far from what he had planned. He had spent quite a while in Lingdao using the identity of Liu Qishuang. From being unknown at first he gradually began to emerge as a talent. Later, when Lingdao encountered an accident, the previous master of Lingdao was seriously injured and died, and he actually gave him the position of acting master of Lingdao.
Later, although the Lord of Fengyu Palace ordered people to look for him everywhere and finally contacted him after he came out of seclusion, he could no longer easily abandon the identity of Liu Qishuang.
At that time, he had to frequently switch between two identities as he walked around the world. In the end, Liu Qishuang temporarily took over as the master of the spiritual path, and Fang Wei became the master of the evil path. But no matter whether it was the spiritual path or the evil path, no one knew that these two people were actually the same person.
Although it sounds glorious, Fang Wei still has mixed feelings when thinking back on what happened back then.
No one knew how exhausted he was at that time. No matter whether it was the spiritual path or the evil path, both forces had countless things to deal with, and they all needed him to go there in person to deal with them face to face. For this reason, he had to travel to various places at the fastest speed. He often presided over a meeting of a sect of the spiritual path in a town in the east during the day, and at night he had to take off his white clothes and put on a black robe to rush to a mountain thousands of miles away to mediate the internal fighting between the two forces of the evil path.
Now standing in the courtyard and seeing himself under the peach tree a thousand years ago, Fang Wei quickly recalled those unbearable days.
If he remembered correctly, the scene that Hui Guangzhu saw now happened when he presided over the Spirit Transformation Conference for the first time after he temporarily took over as the Lord of the Spiritual Path.
The Xuanqing Continent has always had its rules, and the Spirit Transformation Conference is one of the most important events in the entire Xuanqing Continent, so no matter what happens, both the spiritual and evil paths must put aside their prejudices and participate in the conference together. Regardless of whether it is the Lord of the Spiritual Path or the Lord of the Evil Path, they will be present on the day to preside over the conference.
For Fang Wei, presiding over a Spirit Transformation Conference was not a difficult task. However, the difficulty lay in the fact that he was the Lord of both the Spiritual Path and the Evil Path at that time.
And he had no way to make Liu Qishuang and Fang Wei appear in front of people at the same time.
How to solve this problem became his most distressing issue at the time, and at this moment, he was standing under the peach tree, thinking about the solution to this problem.
However, no matter how complicated Fang Wei's mood was at that time, after a thousand years, Hua Shi, who was standing outside the courtyard, could not understand his thoughts.
He just looked at Liu Qishuang's back from a distance, as if he was admiring a sunny painting, in which all the brushstrokes were of the most exquisite style.
"He's really good-looking." Hua Shi said softly, and at the end he couldn't help but seek sympathy from his own system, "Right?"
Fang Wei pretended not to hear these words and was also looking at himself a thousand years ago in the distance. He remembered that he was standing here waiting for someone.
His memory was not wrong. In just a moment, in the scene of Hui Guangzhu, the person he was waiting for arrived.
When Hua Shi saw the person coming, he almost immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "Why is this guy here again? Is he a clingy person? He sticks to Ah Shuang every day?"
Fang Wei: “…”
He ignored Hua Shi's words and looked at Ji Yuan who walked in from outside. Ji Yuan at this time was not much different from the last time he saw him. He still looked like a teenager. However, this scene was not long after the last Huiguangzhu scene, so Ji Yuan should not be much different.
But Fang Wei still couldn't help but wonder what Ji Yuan had become now, whether he was still in the spiritual path, or whether he had become a strong man who could stand on his own.
As he was thinking this, the young man Ji Yuan in the Huiguangzhu scene had already spoken to Liu Qishuang under the tree: "Ah Shuang, I have almost prepared everything you told me to do for tomorrow, but I still don't quite understand..."
Liu Qishuang, who was standing under the tree, finally turned around now. He smiled and looked at Ji Yuan: "What don't you understand?"
Ji Yuan's face looked bad, as if he had just been offended not long ago, and he was still feeling depressed, but he seemed to be hesitant about something and was unwilling to vent his anger on Liu Qishuang, so his expression was very complicated. He said, "I heard that the evil leader Fang Wei had threatened you several times before. Everyone said that as long as you were somewhere, he would not bother to go there. He did this again and again, and it was obvious that he was deliberately looking for trouble with you and looking down on you. Now that we have finally met the devil Fang Wei, we should have taken revenge, but why did you let me arrange people in Tianqing City to receive the evil people? Don't you want to vent your anger?"
Liu Qishuang in the Huiguangzhu scene: "..."
Fang Wei, who was watching this scene at this moment: "..."
Although many years have passed, Fang Wei's mood when hearing this now seems to be exactly the same as it was back then.
In the past, Ji Yuan had criticized the evil Fang Wei in front of Liu Qishuang many times. The spiritual path looked down on the evil path, and because his two identities had never appeared at the same time, everyone believed that the spiritual path Liu Qishuang and the evil path Fang Wei had an old grudge, so they were unwilling to meet each other.
Ji Yuan was best friends with Liu Qishuang, and believed that the evil Fang Wei had a grudge against Liu Qishuang, so he was always the first one to stand up and scold Fang Wei.
The scene of Huiguangzhu continued. After hearing what the young man Ji Yuan said, Liu Qishuang smiled helplessly and shook her head, saying, "You forgot that Xuanqing Continent has always had rules. During the Spiritual Transformation Conference, no matter whether it is the spiritual path or the evil path, no one can cause trouble in Tianqing City."
Ji Yuan's face was not very happy, but he could not refute Liu Qishuang, so he could only think about it and said: "Then we can wait until the Spiritual Transformation Conference is over and then think of a way to deal with them. We can use a trick to detain them, and then find someone to ambush them and teach them a good lesson."
Liu Qishuang was speechless for a moment. Before she could speak, Hua Shi could not help but ask, "Is this guy from the spiritual path or the evil path? Why do I feel that he is even more ruthless than the evil path?"
Fang Wei: “…”
Hua Shi was full of opinions about Ji Yuan, the young man who always appeared as a supporting role beside Liu Qishuang in Huiguangzhu, and couldn't help but whispered: "This guy is so annoying at such a young age, and I don't know what he looks like now."
Fang Wei didn't say anything, but she was also a little worried.
In the Huiguangzhu illusion, Liu Qishuang and Ji Yuan continued to talk. They were all talking about the arrangements for the Spirit Transformation Conference. The content was a bit boring, and Hua Shi couldn't understand most of it. He stood by and watched, feeling that this Huiguangzhu illusion was a bit of a loss. He spent a lot of effort, but only saw Liu Qishuang and Ji Yuan explaining the work.
In order not to appear to be at a greater disadvantage, he could only stare at Liu Qishuang's face, trying to see the beauty to his heart's content.
Ten minutes is not a long time, but Hua Shi watched Liu Qishuang explain the work for a full nine minutes.
Seeing that the effect of the Huiguang Pearl was about to end, Hua Shi couldn't help but feel reluctant to leave. He felt that this trip was not a loss after all. Just being able to see Liu Qishuang's face was already a gain.
At this time, Liu Qishuang finally explained everything to Ji Yuan. Although Ji Yuan was reluctant, he finally left the courtyard after complaining to him, Liu Qishuang, about the evil Fang Wei.
After Ji Yuan left, Liu Qishuang looked up at the moon in the sky. For some reason, her expression became a little gloomy. She suddenly turned around and walked into a room not far away, closing the door behind her.
Hua Shi was stunned. For some reason, he felt that Liu Qishuang's actions seemed a little anxious. However, he couldn't help but doubt his own judgment, because Liu Qishuang didn't look like a person who would be anxious. He looked more like the kind of person who was always calm and able to comfort the people around him in any situation.
"What happened?" Hua Shi looked at this scene. Although he knew that he would not get a response from the system, he still couldn't help but murmured, "What happened to him?"
As the person involved, Fang Wei naturally knew what had happened.
He was indeed a little anxious at the time, and the reason was very simple, because he not only had an appointment with Ji Yuan to discuss something that night, but also had an appointment with another person.
So he, who had just used the identity of Liu Qishuang, hurried into the room to put on the mask, change his equipment and restore his identity of Fang Wei.
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to the high wall of the courtyard.
At this moment, as if to confirm his thoughts, the moment his eyes swept over that place, a black shadow suddenly crossed the high wall and quietly came to the outside of the courtyard.
Although the black shadow made no sound and the people around the restaurant certainly would not notice his arrival, for Hua Shi who was in the courtyard at that time, the arrival of this figure was obvious.
Hua Shi was startled by this guy who suddenly showed up. When he looked at his face carefully, instead of calming down, he couldn't help but yelled, "It's this guy! Lu Yao?!"
The person who appeared in the yard was Lu Yao.
However, it was not the Lu Yao who always looked like a drunkard carrying a wine jug many years later, but the young Lu Yao wearing black clothes, with a thin figure and sharp eyes.
Although they both looked like teenagers, Ji Yuan who had just left and Lu Yao who had arrived were two completely different people. He was standing in the courtyard with a gloomy face. After looking around the courtyard for a while, he finally cast his gaze on the house with a closed door, which was the house that Liu Qishuang had just entered.
Then he slowly lowered his eyes and walked towards the room.
Hua Shi had previously thought that this Huiguangzhu scene was too boring, but now he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and hurriedly ran to the room: "What is this guy doing? How could an evil person like him come here? What is he going to do to Liu Qishuang?"
As he asked, he was about to push open the door, almost forgetting that he was in the scene of Huiguangzhu. He seemed to want to open his mouth to remind Liu Qishuang in the room to be aware of the danger.
However, Lu Yao had just walked to the door of the room with the dagger in his hand, and Hua Shi had just hurriedly rushed to him and was about to open the door. At this moment, the scene around him suddenly changed, the halo instantly dissipated in the mist, and the surroundings returned to reality again.
Whether it was Liu Qishuang or the young men Ji Yuan and Lu Yao, they had all disappeared.
