“Senior Fellow Apprentice, what’s wrong with you?”

  Su Li saw that Fan Zisang suddenly stood still with a flashing light in his eyes after asking the question, and she felt a pneuma that didn’t belong to Fan Zisang at all, and…… it was strangely familiar.

  “Elder, this Su Li is not that Su Li. Please don’t get me wrong!”

  Fan Zisang ignored the outside world, conveyed his thoughts to the chaotic shadow in the jade token again and again. After struggling for several breath, the shadow finally calmed down.

  Fan Zisang rubbed his temple and looked up at Su Li who was looking at him curiously, saying with a gentle smile,

  “I’m alright. It’s midnight. Why don’t you go to bed and come here?”

  Su Li shook her head and pointed to the low bungalow across the river.

  Fan Zisang suddenly realized that there should be the place where Su Li grew up as Huang Dashan said. No matter what she experienced there, it was the place where she was born.

  “Want to see it?”

  Facing with Fan Zisang’s more gentle questions, Su Li nodded.

  She didn’t want to go, but it was a good excuse.

  After the thing of the blood practitioner, she wanted to come back to see if there were any other shards of Reincarnation Mirror in Tieshui River. It was convenient for Fan Zisang as a cover to go back home.

  “In Tieshui River, there are no shards falling. The end of the river is the place where Reincarnation Mirror was picked up, so there is no need to go there. Perhaps, there is another possibility that Reincarnation Mirror is formed by re-condensing all shards in Tieshui River! The shards in this river can condense into a mirror ring and there is the legend, so, it’s…… Yunjing Lake……”

  Thinking so, Su Li raised her head and looked at the empty sky. The bright moon hung high, like a mirror in a trance.

  Fan Zisang didn’t feel different about this scene, while the old figure who waked up in the jade token and always watched Su Li, was slightly shaken.

  “She’s not really……”

  A while later, they came to the dilapidated house in the east of the river. It had already eroded the cottage in seven or eight years and there were weeds and spider webs everywhere.

  Su Li stood in front of the door in silence, suddenly remembering that woman who gave birth to her. She should not have been in the world, but Black Lotus Ring reversed her fate by killing that woman’s own child, whom should be compensated.

  “Senior Fellow Apprentice, I don’t want to stay here. Go back.”

  Su Li suddenly said that, turned around and walked away. Fan Zisang was confused, thinking about why his junior sister apprentice was more unfathomable after coming back.

  The next morning, Su Li visited Fan Zisang.

  “You want to leave? Then your grandfather……”

  Su Li nodded, but didn’t say the reason. Fan Zisang looked at Huang who was still cooking breakfast in the local stove outside the door, and was slightly surprised. The girl was expected to miss the mortal life, but she didn’t have any nostalgia for Huang Dashan.

  “When I step into Zhuji Realm, I will come back to see Grandpa.”

  Su Li’s voice with childishness was very stable and serious, but for Fan Zisang, it made him be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

  \r \r \r

  It seemed that he misunderstood his junior sister apprentice. Did the girl really think that cultivation was as simple as eating or drinking? When she reached Zhuji Realm, Huang Dashan might have been reincarnated for several generations.

  However, this kind of thing couldn’t be said clearly. When this girl entered into Lianqi Realm, she would understand it and therefore he didn’t need to say more. He had also found out the details of Tieshui River, so he didn’t want to stay longer. He nodded,

  “Then after you two have breakfast, we’ll go. Don’t disappoint your grandfather.”

  He saw that Huang Dashan went to the town early in the morning to buy white rice porridge and bread.

  Su Li nodded, “I want to say goodbye to Grandpa.”

  “Go!”

  Fan Zisang chuckled and didn’t listen to what she said to Huang Dashan.

  No matter how strange the girl was, she was still a child, and she had a real temperament. When she grew up, she would understand the master-apprentice relationship.

  Su Li came to the kitchen and stood quietly. Huang Dashan straightened up when he heard something. Seeing Su Li, he was confused, “Girl, you……”

  “I’m leaving.”

  Su Li interrupted Huang Dashan and looked at him.

  “So soon?!”

  Huang Dashan was shocked. It was too fast, for they had only stayed one night. He had thought that Su Li would stay for at least two or three days.

  Su Li nodded without explaining more. Sensing that Fan Zisang’s psychic awareness was not here, she continued, “Within one year, I will come back to you. This year, you should take care of yourself and stay in the village to practice. Don’t go to other places.”

  One year?

  Huang Dashan was stunned. Looking at Su Li’s serious appearance, he felt funny, “Girl, you talk like a little adult. You need to listen to your master in the sect. Don’t make your senior fellow apprentice any trouble. It’s not good to always think of me, an old man whose half body has been buried in the earth.”

  Su Li frowned, “What I said is true.”

  “Well, well, well, I believe you. I will never leave the village this year.”

  Finding that Su Li seemed to get angry, Huang couldn’t help laughing and comforted her.

  “Well, I can’t ask for it.”

  Su Li loosened her eyebrows. She had said everything she should. If Huang Dashan really left Tiehe Village at that time and she couldn’t find him, it would be his fate.

  She went back to the house. Huang sank and fell into thinking. He didn’t understand until Fan Zisang and Su Li left after the breakfast.

  A 14 or 15-year-old child really couldn’t speak that words, even if someone taught her, but the tone couldn’t be taught.

  He thought that Su Li often showed a difference from ordinary children over the years. He had thought that it was just because Su Li had a miserable childhood and matured a little earlier. Now, that was not the case.

  Huang Dashan was heavy in his heart and paid attention to it. Maybe he should wait to meet Su Li one year later. ……

  During Jincheng Dynasty, people in secular world could pursue cultivation, which was not common in Jiuzhou Region.

  Of course, compared with the sects in cultivation circle, royal family was just like playing, for the people with highest cultivation could only reach the peak of Zhuji Realm and the means were single. If they were against Fan Zisang who came from the sect, they might not even have the opportunity to attack.

  This was also the reason why Fan Zisang dared to bring Su Li and Jin Ying there.

  “Here we are, Senior Fellow Apprentice!”

  Jin Ying pointed to the striking golden palace group below and shouted excitedly. Fan Zisang fell down, thinking secretly that this was the response that ordinary children should have when they return home.

  However, he remembered that Su Li was very calm when she returned home some days ago.

  In order not to cause trouble, Fan Zisang fell in the mountain forest not far from the imperial city, and then took them to walk to the gate of the city, during which he told them,

  “Junior Sister Apprentice Jin, although you know the real name of our junior sister apprentice, you can’t speak it out when you come to outsiders, do you know? Junior Sister Apprentice Su, you should also keep this in mind.”

  Jin Ying nodded instantly and said lovely, “Senior Fellow Apprentice, I have kept!”

  Su Li nodded in silence, for she knew the danger of exposure better than anyone else.

  They entered the city in which busy streets were full of pedestrians and noise, which made them who hadn’t seen the bustle for a long time feel unreal.

  “Junior Sister Apprentice, you’ve never been to a big city, right? Senior Fellow Apprentice, I want to take her to go shopping and buy some beautiful clothes. It’s playing a good host for me!”

  Jin Ying was obviously at ease when she was there. After getting Fan Zisang’s approval, she immediately took Su Li into a luxury clothing shop and chattered incessantly.

  Fan Zisang followed behind them with a smile. It was pleasant for him to spend the rest of the day before entering Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits.

  After a short stroll, Fan Zisang, who was leaning against a wooden pillar, suddenly had sensation and looked at the door. He saw a strong commander rush in with the forbidden guards, which immediately caused a small disturbance.

  The burly commander suddenly came to him and was about to overtake him to step into the shop where the two junior sister apprentices were. He stopped in front of the commander in a flash and said, “Wait, why are you here?”

  Seeing his extraordinary temperament, the commander was backing down but was still impatient, saying, “Forbidden guards are in charge of affairs, so others get out of the way!”

  Fan Zisang raised his eyebrows but was not angry, just saying, “My two junior sister apprentices are inside for trying clothes. Before they come out, you can’t go in.”

  “How dare you!”

  The commander was angry at once and was about to fight. Fan Zisang looked cold, but at this time, Jin Ying suddenly said, “Is it Commander Wang?”

  The two men who were about to fight were stunned. Turning to the shop, they saw Jin Ying in a bright goose yellow imperial costume coming out. Behind her, Su Li was wearing a black shirt, with her waterfall-alike long hair drifting freely behind her. She wore a red hair ornament on her head, matched with her white and delicate face, just like the spirit of the night exuding an ethereal atmosphere.

  Fan Zisang was stroke, for his junior sister apprentice looked like a fairy, and she was so excellent after being dressed up a little.

  The burly commander on one side didn’t notice Su Li. Seeing Jin Ying, he looked very relaxed. He stepped forward quickly and said, “Fourteenth Princess, why are you here? Didn’t you go to Huajian Sect with Thirteenth Prince?”

  Jin Ying immediately smiled sweetly, and looked at Fan Zisang who was gentle now, “It is my senior fellow apprentice who brought me back!”

  Senior Fellow Apprentice?

  The burly commander was stunned at once, and then he reacted. Looking back, he saw Fan Zisang with a plain face, and immediately there was a dense cold sweat on his forehead. He asked cautiously,

  “Senior, are you…… a powerful disciple in Huajian Sect?”

  After seeing Fan Zisang nodding, the burly commander became paler, for he was not friendly to this senior just now.

  “I don’t blame you, for your ignorance and being close to my junior sister apprentice.”

  Fan Zisang said directly, “Since you have found here, let’s go to the palace together.”
