Chapter 162: Those Days (2)
"Sister, are you there?"
Standing in the secret realm of the ancients, Ji Weihang called out, "I want to ask you some questions."
There was no change in the pleasant spring environment, and the familiar white figure did not appear as usual.
As the spirit of the secret realm, Piao Miao can perceive all changes in the secret realm, and can hear and see everything that happens. It is impossible that she didn't hear what she said. She could only be deliberately not showing up.
She walked in the waist-high grass, looking at the silhouette of the mountains in the distance, and said, "Sister, you are the way of heaven, right?"
Although it is a question, the tone is that of a statement.
“If you think about it carefully, there do seem to be a lot of coincidences.
"Fifty-two years ago, I went down the mountain to travel. I got in trouble with a group of smugglers in the Pingyao area and disrupted their business. Their Yuanying stage pursued me relentlessly. I was only a Jindan at the time, so I was naturally no match for them. When the Fengsha Secret Realm was opened, I bought someone else's secret realm qualification and wanted to hide in the secret realm. I didn't expect to buy a fake one and was caught in the turbulence of time and space and accidentally entered here.
"The first time I came in, you didn't show up. I explored for a while, got the permission to enter next time, and then went out. After I went out, I didn't go back to where I came in, but went to the Erxue Peak.
"I met Ji Chengyuan there and realized that she was not human, so I randomly gave her a fake name to contact her."
Ji Weihang brushed his hands over the green grass, looked up at the sky, and said:
"Is this all a coincidence? Or did you deliberately send me to the Erxue Peak so that I could meet Ji Chengyuan?
"Fifty years ago, Yi Gou helped me leave the sect. I remembered this place and hid here. When I came in, I happened to meet you.
“Was your appearance at that time accidental or deliberate?
“If it weren’t for you and this place, it would be hard for me to hide so well, and it would be hard for me to reach the state of out-of-body experience within fifty years.
"I have been here for four hundred and fifty-six years. Excluding the time I was in seclusion, you have been with me for at least two hundred years.
"If you are the way of heaven and everything is in your eyes, why do you do all this?"
She lowered her head and looked at the grass swaying quietly in the wind, and her voice became lower.
"Actually I know the reason, but I still have delusions and want to hear your explanation..."
She looked dazed, a rare sight, and said, "It's you who is answering the spirits of Senior Sister and Senior Wife, right?
“What future did you present to them? What did they ask you?
"I really want to know the answer from you."
She raised her head again and looked ahead. Not far away was a field of flowers with brilliant flowers in full bloom.
“You enlightened me, comforted me, and facilitated me.
“When I asked you why you were so nice to me, you said you were bored and I was a good person to chat with.
"I didn't believe it at first. I thought your purpose was to take over my body, but I slowly gave up." She smiled, paused for a moment, and said, "You are the closest person to me in the past fifty years. I trust you very much and love you very much."
“You’re like my second wife.”
Her voice drifted away and shattered with the silent wind.
"...Indeed, you are my second Master's Wife."
Looking at the clouds in the sky, her eyes reflected tiny rays of light, and she said, "I will complete my mission."
She grabbed at random, tore open the exit, and left the secret realm.
After she left, a white figure appeared, looked at the closed exit, and sighed:
"I love you too, my child."

【Qibao Tower】
Entering the restaurant run by the demon tribe, Fu Xuan took a quick look and said to the waiter who came to greet him, "I'm looking for the boss. Just say that Old Zhou from Xingzhoushun introduced me here."
As an organization that supports the transportation network connecting the entire continent, Xingzhoushun has a great reputation, and Lao Zhou of Xingzhoushun is a well-known figure in Minglei City.
The waiter quickly found the boss, a middle-aged woman with a plump and white figure. She was kind and cheerful, and at first glance, she looked like someone who had no worries about food and clothing.
No demon characteristics can be seen.
"What's the matter, sir?" asked the boss.
Fu Xuan said: "I want to ask you about something that happened fifty years ago."
Upon hearing this, the boss remained expressionless, but said, "Please come to the private room to discuss in detail."
The restaurant was very large, with three floors. They went to a private room on the third floor and sat facing each other.
"It seems that you know what I want to ask and who I am." Fu Xuan said, looking at the boss's uneasy expression which he no longer concealed as soon as he entered the private room.
With a deep sigh, the boss said, "You must be Fu Xuan."
Fu Xuan hummed, not caring that the other party had guessed her identity directly. Qibaolou had been in Minglei City for at least fifty years. If the other party had been monitoring her, he probably knew her better than she did. It was natural for him to detect her identity. She was wearing a mask and did not change her shape.
"What is your purpose in following me?"
——Of course, she was not sure whether the other party had been following her all the time, but since the memory she got from the secret realm of the past was that a monster followed her not long after she left Bixu Town, and another monster followed her all the way to Minglei City, she was not reluctant to combine these coincidences together to deceive the other party.
The boss didn't bother to think whether she was deceiving him or not, he just told her the whole story:
"I escaped from the demon world. My tribe hated my partner and my child even more. They regarded me as a disgrace. I took my child and escaped from the demon world through smuggling merchants, and went to my partner who was doing business in the human world. When we were planning our future life in a certain town, a demon tribe sent us a message, saying that if we did one thing, they would help me stop the demons from the tribe from chasing us, and they would never chase us again.
"Their main requirements are to follow you, monitor you, protect your safety, and not let you die." The boss looked at her uneasily, as if he also felt embarrassed.
"Since this matter is not against the law, we agreed and followed you all the way to Pingyao to settle down.
"After you turn eighteen, there will be a letter saying that the deal has been reached and the clan will no longer hunt me down. We will no longer monitor you." The boss looked at her and said, "...we will just give you extra dishes when you come to eat occasionally."
"When did you start following me?"
"Yan Zhen, when you were in Waciyuan." said the boss.
Then the demon who followed her from the beginning was not the boss's man.
Fu Xuan thought about it and said, "Did you get the news about my being in Yanzhen from the letter?"
The boss nodded and said, "Yes."
Fu Xuan stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see the letter."
The boss cooperated and took out the letter and handed it to her quickly and neatly.
All the letters had no identification, the letter paper was ordinary, the printed words were ordinary, and the content was simple, mostly just some words like "Go here, find this girl" or "Follow her".
Touching a small crystal inlaid on a piece of letter paper, the image of Fu Xuan as a child was projected out and floated on the paper.
It was strange to see my younger self in a place like this.
Fu Xuan looked up and said, "Without any signs, how do you know that the demon who wrote the letter can help you stop the pursuit?"
The boss paused and said, "The first letter had the scent of Shadow Phoenix on it, but it has long since dissipated, so you can't see it."
Shadow Phoenix...Currently the most famous Shadow Phoenix is Ming Yuyin, the owner of the Emperor Shadow Tower. She has a close relationship with the Demon Emperor.
Of course, Ying Feng’s words can be believed.
Fu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Why do you think they want you to follow me?"
The boss hesitated for a moment, took a sip of tea, and said, "It may be because you have the hidden demon bloodline."
"How do you know? Can this be seen directly?" Fu Xuan asked.
"...I checked." The boss stammered, "Not long after I came to Pingyao, I secretly took some blood while you were sleeping."
"You are quite powerful. You were able to sneak into Wa Ci Yuan." Fu Xuan didn't mind it too much. He knew why the other party was hesitant and guilty. "Then you should have found out?"
The boss said: "It should be a viper."
Fu Xuan said: "The ancient mythical beasts, the Teng Snake? Didn't they all ascend to heaven with the goddess Nuwa?"
The boss said: "I don't know where this blood comes from, but this is what the test showed."
"How did you test the blood?" Fu Xuan doubted the accuracy of the test.
Seeing her doubt, the boss was a little unconvinced and emphasized: "The Xiezhi tribe never makes mistakes."
Fu Xuan knew that Xiezhi was the "judge" of the demon tribe and rarely made mistakes. "Okay."
She stood up and prepared to leave.
"No more questions?" The boss was a little surprised.
Fu Xuan waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your cooperation." She was going to ask the demon who might know more details.
She did not doubt the truthfulness of what her boss said. On the one hand, she also noticed that everything was so smooth and natural. Obviously someone was pushing things to happen at this time. Maybe her boss had been informed long ago, and she could tell her directly when she came to him. On the other hand, even if it was wrong, she had obtained a lot of information.
For example, eighteen years old seems to be a special hurdle.
Eighteen years old is the age of coming of age for humans, but for the demon race it is still a baby. Did something special happen when she was eighteen?
Without having to recall it in detail, she remembered that on her Mid-Autumn birthday that year, she cried and got drunk.
When he was ten years old, Fu Xuan was diagnosed with gold and earth spiritual roots, and his overall aptitude was three.
No one took a fancy to her. She continued to stay in Waci Academy, going to the academy every day, doing daily studies and simple practice, running around the city, eavesdropping on the conversations of adventure teams and bounty hunters.
A girl in the courtyard who was at loggerheads with her was chosen by the city lord to be his apprentice because of her highest qualification of eight points, close to a perfect nine.
Their entanglement dissipated, and when they met again later, the other party no longer confronted her as before, and even took the initiative to greet her.
When she was eleven years old, Fu Xuan successfully drew Qi into her body, and the girl broke through to the foundation-building stage.
At the age of eighteen, Fu Xuan successfully established his foundation, and the girl had already reached perfection in her foundation.
At that time, she had already left Waci Temple and rented a house by herself. After praying to the moon and making a wish came true, she drank for the first time and fell drunk and cried bitterly.
This was the only special experience Fu Xuan could remember at the age of eighteen.
Thinking of the hopelessness at that time, she felt no embarrassment, just relief.
At that time, I felt really desperate because I had mediocre talent and might never be able to take revenge in my lifetime.
The demon race is interested in this? Probably not.
Gathering her thoughts, she stepped out of the threshold of the Seven Treasures Tower. Without thinking too much, she went straight to the nearest Ying Feng to ask for clarification.
Although it seems difficult to break in and see Ming Tianbao, but... since Ying Feng wants her to be alive, perhaps as soon as she shows up, the monster in the Diying Tower will welcome her in.
She walked towards the teleportation array of Minglei City. When she passed by Waci Temple, the different atmosphere inside made her alert instantly.
She found a corner and used shadow footwork, not very skillfully, to sneak into the courtyard.
She grew up here, so if something happens, of course she will lend a hand.
Crossing the front yard and entering the main hall, someone was chatting with the dean, and several young men wearing Leimen maid costumes were sitting next to them.
She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the people from Leimen would not do anything bad.
When she saw the person opposite the dean, she paused as she was about to leave.
Mu Jieqiu?
