"Si...Si Yiqi!!"
When Yun Sining heard that name again, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Her body reacted instinctively, and she raised the green staff in her hand without thinking, aiming it at the beautiful woman in front of her.
"Hey, hey, don't overreact like that."
The woman who called herself Si Yiqi raised her hands and smiled as she spoke to Yun Sining.
"Even if you beat me to death, it won't do you any good. What's in front of you is just an avatar of mine."
"Ning'er, this is..."
"That's right."
Yun Si Ning's expression was more solemn than ever before.
"Si Yiqi is the owner of that mysterious ancient scroll, and also the Grand Preceptor of the long-extinct Great Long Dynasty, a contemporary of Geng Di!"
As she spoke, scenes from the past flashed through Yun Si Ning's mind.
Whether it was the handwritten notes on the ancient scroll, the labyrinth inside the tomb, or the remnant soul that wanted to possess her, all of these things made Yun Si Ning extremely wary of Si Yi Qi.
The words of An Cheng, the mysterious man she encountered while bound in Si Yiqi's tomb, echoed in Yun Si Ning's ears once again.
“Si Yiqi is definitely not dead. Someone like her wouldn’t die easily, absolutely not.”
"You really didn't die!"
Yun Si Ning took a step back, ready to fight at any moment.
"How can you prove you are Si Yiqi?!"
"Um……"
The woman touched her chin, momentarily stunned by Yun Si Ning's question.
Immediately, she pointed to the green dragon staff in Yun Si Ning's hand.
"This thing is called the Azure Dragon Staff. It was made from the essence and blood of the ancient mythical beast Azure Dragon after its death."
She then pointed to the lime on Yun Si Ning's waist.
"This little guy was cultivated by me based on the essence blood extracted from the Azure Dragon Staff, but it was just an embryo at the beginning."
Upon hearing this, the others did not react, but Yun Si Ning's pupils suddenly dilated.
When she first encountered the lime, it was inside a giant white cocoon.
Later, after seeing the records in the Azure Dragon Manual, she also thought that Qing Ning might be a kind of ancient Azure Dragon, perhaps cultivated through a technology similar to gene cloning.
Upon hearing this from Si Yiqi, Yun Sining instantly believed her.
"You...you really are Si Yiqi."
She stared at the person in front of her in disbelief.
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
"But back then...didn't you try to possess me? I destroyed your remnant soul."
"Possession?"
Yun Si Ning was surprised to see a moment's surprise on Si Yi Qi's face as well.
But soon, she nodded in realization.
"I know, it's that guy."
"What's the meaning?"
"No rush. You must have many questions. I will explain them to you step by step."
She then looked at Hua Lu, who looked nervous, behind Yun Si Ning.
"And that little girl, I'm quite curious, how did Geng Di's personal guard end up with you?"
"I……"
Hua Lu seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"Have you really seen her?"
Yun Si Ning turned her head and asked in confusion.
If she remembered correctly, Si Yiqi's era was not the same as the one described by Hua Lu; there was a difference of over a thousand years between them.
"I...I think I've met her before, back when I was with the Grand Steward."
Hua Lu seemed to recall something, and her face turned somewhat pale.
In the hundreds of years she had followed Geng Di, this woman was the only one who dared to look directly at the Grand Steward and even make sarcastic remarks.
That conversation left an incredibly deep impression on her.
“I once looked for Geng Di, and it seems that this little girl was standing next to him that time.”
Si Yiqi recalled.
"I remember you somewhat."
"And what's the deal between you and Geng Di?"
Yun Si Ning is getting more and more confused.
"Haha, we'll talk about that later,"
Si Yiqi clapped her hands, and then a phantom light screen descended from the sky.
"Didn't you want to see your senior sister?"
Yun Si Ning looked at the light screen and saw it flicker a few times before the image gradually became clearer.
Soon, a figure appeared on the screen.
"Senior Sister... Senior Sister!"
Once Yun Si Ning saw clearly, her eyes instantly welled up with glistening tears.
In the picture, Qingyu is sitting on a stone chair, looking very relaxed.
Her long hair fell over her shoulders, and she wore an elegant and simple white dress, chatting idly with something beside her.
"Senior Sister!!"
Yun Si Ning's voice pierced through the illusory light screen and reached Qing Yu's ears.
Upon hearing the sound, Qingyu's delicate body trembled, and she immediately turned her head to look in the direction from which the sound came.
She also saw the light screen that had appeared out of nowhere, and even saw Yun Si Ning and Hua Yun Cang inside it.
"Ning... Ning'er!!"
Qingyu nearly fell to the ground. She rushed to the light screen and carefully examined the people inside.
"Senior sister, is it really you?"
"It's...it's me, Ning'er, all of you..."
"Don't worry, she's fine."
At this moment, Si Yiqi's voice came from the screen.
"I just found her too, and I contacted you immediately."
"Thank you, thank you!"
Qingyu was extremely excited, and her voice even choked up a little.
"Ning'er, where are you?"
