Miaoyin Sect.
Si Luo held a compass in her hand, her steps slightly heavy but with an unshakable determination, as she walked step by step towards the place in her memory.
The familiar outlines gradually come into view, and every eaves and every glazed tile seem to be whispering stories of the past.
This is where she and Ning Jie left countless beautiful memories together. Those memories are like bright stars, embedded in the sky of her heart, shining brightly.
As she stepped into the sect, the familiar atmosphere instantly surrounded her like a warm tide.
"Senior Sister, you...you're back!"
"It's Senior Sister Si Luo!"
"What? Junior Sister Xiaoluo, she actually came back!"
When the disciples who were practicing saw Si Luo returning, they stopped what they were doing and exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing these concerned voices, Si Luo's eyes couldn't help but become moist.
"Yeah, I'm back."
She smiled and nodded in response, continuing to walk towards Chenyin Peak.
The fragrance of flowers and medicine, as well as the faint sound of piano, which filled the air on both sides of the bluestone road, made her eyes involuntarily turn red.
Every disciple who passed by and every familiar scene were like a key that opened the floodgates of her memory.
Soon, she arrived at the clan leader's residence.
The vermilion door looked both familiar and unfamiliar to her. She took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open.
Inside the house, Sect Master Si Yin was sitting in front of the window, holding an ancient book in his hand, seemingly deep in thought about something.
Hearing the door open, Si Yin raised her head. When her eyes fell on Si Luo, a hint of disbelief and surprise flashed across her eyes, followed by full of doubts.
"Xiao Luo? Is it really you?"
Si Yin's voice trembled a little. She stood up, unconsciously quickening her pace as she walked towards Si Luo.
Si Luo looked at Si Yin, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be held back and burst out.
She walked quickly forward, and the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, as if the hug was trying to release all the pain of separation and longing for each other over the past few days.
"Mother, it's me, I'm back."
Si Luo said with a sob.
Si Yin hugged Si Luo tightly, and their tears wet each other's shoulders.
"Luo'er, do you know how worried I've been about you these past few days? The day you were taken away by Ning Jie, I... I was really afraid that I would never see you again."
After a long time, the mother and daughter gradually calmed down.
Si Yin let go of Si Luo, held her face in both hands, looked at her carefully, his eyes full of love and heartache.
"Luo'er, it's great that you're back! Look at you, you've lost so much weight. You must have suffered a lot these days, right?"
Si Luo gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, and recounted his experiences of the past few days.
From being taken to the sacred mountain of the Immortal Clan in the far north by Ning Jie to his rebirth in Nirvana, every detail made Si Yin shudder.
After listening to this, Si Yin hugged Si Luo again.
"Luo'er, you've suffered so much. It's really not easy."
After a while, Si Yin let go of Si Luo, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
"Luo'er, what are your plans now? You've been through so much, you should take a good rest."
Si Luo shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with determination.
"Foster mother, I can't rest. I came back this time for something important to do. I want to find Ning Jie. He is trapped a hundred thousand years ago."
"What!"
Sect Leader Si Yin found it hard to believe until Si Luo told her everything.
Si Yin frowned slightly and thought for a moment:
"I know you and Ning Jie have a deep relationship, but you have to know that if it's really like what you just said, finding him won't be easy!"
Si Luo gripped the compass tightly in his hand:
"Mother, I have a solution. This compass can help me find something closely connected to Ning Jie's cause and effect. We have obtained the Nuwa tribe's treasure. As long as we gather enough related items, perhaps we can open the door of time and space and find Ning Jie."
Si Yin's brows furrowed even more tightly.
"A time-space gate? That's an extremely dangerous thing. Time travel is full of variables and unknown dangers. If you make the slightest mistake, you could end up in an irretrievable situation, and it could even affect the order of the entire world."
Si Luo held Si Yin's hand and said soothingly with a smile:
"Mother, I know this is dangerous, but I have no other choice. I love Ning Jie, and I can't watch him disappear from my world. Besides, this may be the only way to save him."
Si Yin looked at Si Luo's determined eyes and knew in her heart that she could not dissuade her no matter what.
She sighed softly:
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I support you. But you must promise me that no matter what danger you encounter, you must prioritize your own safety. If it really doesn't work out, come back, understand?"
Si Luo nodded vigorously:
"I understand, mother, don't worry."
Si Luo turned around and walked towards Ning Jie's former residence in Miaoyin Sect.
Along the way, the scenes of her time with Ning Jie kept appearing in her mind like a kaleidoscope.
They once played music together under the ancient cherry tree in the garden. The pink petals fell like snow and sprinkled on their shoulders. Ning Jie's gentle smile was more brilliant than the sunshine.
In the room, they studied the strange paintings together. Ning Jie's serious and focused expression was still deeply imprinted in her heart.
Every memory is like a precious treasure, making her heart sweet and painful.
