My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

“The main hall… is usually where we discuss serious matters, but we can go to a more secluded place.” Xu Xiaoxiao blinked and said, “My room.”

"..."

In less than a minute, Leng Yihan and her group arrived at Xu Xiaoxiao's room. It was obvious that they had used some kind of space-folding technology to hide inside the main hall of Qingyun Sect.

The person who made the move is a big shot.

Moreover... Xu Xiaoxiao's room was very modern, with the interior decorated and laid out like a two-story villa.

"Xiaoxiao... in these ten years... do you still remember me?" Leng Yihan asked curiously after sitting down on the sofa opposite Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Hmm... I remember. Oh, right, everyone, there's a library over there. When I have free time, I read books there. They're all bought from Yihan's world. There are quite a few interesting books there," Xu Xiaoxiao said with a grin as she turned her head.

Shi Yi quickly understood Xu Xiaoxiao's veiled meaning, and without caring that he had just met Chu Zhu, he dragged her away.

As for Ruo Yiming... she stayed where she was. Shi Yi dared not make a move against someone whose strength was on par with her own.

"Yihan..."

"Yi Ming, come sit here, don't be too reserved," Leng Yihan said to Yi Ming, then looked at Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao...you know the Demon King, right?"

"...Well, everyone...after leaving the Cave of the Gods, we talked to Yihan's mother about the Demon King. I remember they said...in their memory, someone sealed the Demon King...but they didn't remember..." Xu Xiaoxiao said, "I...when I saw that Yihan wasn't among the people who came out, I knew roughly what was going on. But I don't know why, even though everyone else had forgotten about Yihan, I still remembered her. After that, I said goodbye to everyone and came to Ximen alone."

"Is that so... How is the Qingyun Sect developing these days?"

"It's alright...there haven't been too many troubles...but recently, something happened that made me...a little uneasy," Xu Xiaoxiao said, her head down.

Are you very tired?

"...Yes, becoming a mature sect leader...is really tiring. Sect Leader, you are truly great..."

“Give me a rough outline of your sect’s territory. While I still have time, I’ll set up an array for you to ensure your sect’s smooth development,” Leng Yihan said.

"Huh? This... the sect's location is three mountain peaks and the triangular area within them..." Xu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment before speaking, but there was still a hint of hesitation in her eyes. As for what she was hesitating about... perhaps only she herself knew.

"It's alright. I'm just trying to understand the cause and effect. After that... we may never meet again. I mentioned reviving the Qingyun Sect to you before. I can't do much, but I can leave you with a set of formations and a set of cultivation techniques. As for the cultivation techniques... you can pass them on to whomever you want." Leng Yihan saw the hesitation in her heart and said, "Then be prepared to accept it."

"Hey?"

"Adjust your mindset." Leng Yihan said, extending her hand. A golden light flashed, and Xu Xiaoxiao trembled, closing her eyes as Leng Yihan forcibly pulled her into a state of enlightenment.

The cultivation technique that Leng Yihan was going to give her was not the one from the Bright Moon Sect, but rather a technique that Leng Yihan herself had just come up with on a whim.

He didn't know why, but this technique suddenly appeared in his mind.

Moreover, this technique... Leng Yihan's intuition told him that it was suitable for Xu Xiaoxiao.

This technique is called "Green Willow in March," and it belongs to the ninth-grade series of techniques.

Leng Yihan increasingly felt that... someone might have been monitoring him all along, and this technique was clearly created to help Leng Yihan settle his karma.

Is someone secretly helping me? Never mind... they don't seem to have any ill intentions towards me now.

Leng Yihan shook her head, clearing her mind of distractions, and looked up at Ruo Yiming, saying, "Yiming, go and set up one of the formations that you can help Qingyun Sect with. As for some formations, such as the illusion formation that protects Qingyun Sect, we'll set them up later after Xu Xiaoxiao has memorized the technique."

"Okay." Ruo Yiming nodded, opened the spatial gate, and disappeared from the spot.

……

……

Half an hour later, Xu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes again, her eyes revealing exhaustion.

"This 'Green Willow in March' is truly too precious..."

"Keep it. I feel this set of techniques is very suitable for you. Judging by the time, Yi Ming should have almost finished setting up the basic formations." As soon as Leng Yihan finished speaking, the spatial gate next to her opened, and Ruo Yiming walked out from it.

"Yihan, most of the formations have been set up."

"Alright, it's about time to say goodbye... We have only a few formations left to set up, Xiaoxiao, let's discuss where to place them?"

"……Um!"

……

……

The formation was set up smoothly, and the moment the last formation was deployed, Xu Xiaoxiao subconsciously clenched her fist.

Isn't it time to go?

When will we meet again?

"Phew... it's time to say goodbye." Leng Yihan withdrew her hand from the array she had been setting up. Chu Zhu and Shi Yi were still waiting for her in the main hall.

The final illusion array can only be entered and exited by those who possess a specific magical artifact. The artifact is very simple to make, and Leng Yihan left it to Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao could control the entire defensive formation of the Qingyun Sect, and the energy within it was directly connected to Leng Yihan's spiritual sea and Ruo Yiming's spiritual sea. Moreover, Leng Yihan had left several items condensed from her own spiritual energy as backup energy sources for the formation. If the energy supply were to be interrupted one day, any item containing energy could be used to replenish it.

"Um……"

"Well then... goodbye, Xiaoxiao." After understanding the cause and effect, Leng Yihan did not linger any longer. She reached out and opened the spatial gate, instantly teleporting to the main hall.

He didn't close it immediately. Xu Xiaoxiao quickly followed him out, and Leng Yihan reached out and opened a new door, returning to the Haimen Sect.

"Xiaoxiao, I have something to ask you... I hope you can help me with it, because I won't have much free time for a long time to come."

"Well, you said."

"...If possible, without threatening the growth of the Qingyun Sect, could you teach those sects that destroyed the Haimen Sect a lesson?"

"I will do my best," Xu Xiaoxiao nodded and said.

After a long silence, Leng Yihan reached out and a blade of ice that would never melt appeared in her hand.

Leng Yihan reached out and ran her hand across the blade, and energy adhered to the blade, along with various powers that Leng Yihan had comprehended.

He then handed the knife to Xu Xiaoxiao.

"For survival, three times." After saying this, Leng Yihan smiled gently, took a few steps back, and turned to walk into the spatial gate.

The other three immediately followed.

As the portal closed, Xu Xiaoxiao gripped the ice blade in her hand and sighed deeply once again.

Our shared dream of building our sect together has come true, but it was all so short-lived...

-

"So what are you planning to do now?"

"Let's go. Someone has already taken care of the great destiny of the Demon Sun Moon. As for what follows... in your words, it's all worldly stuff. I'll handle that on my own later. But for now... I promised you, I will realize my understanding of spatial power."

As Leng Yihan spoke, she looked at Chu Zhu.

"How's it going? Is everything alright? Can you lock onto that side?"

"Hmm?" Shi Yi looked at Chu Zhu curiously after hearing Leng Yihan's words.

Could it be... that I need this little girl to enter the space tunnel?

"I'm in great shape. There shouldn't be any problem starting it a second time, and the coordinates won't be off-target either, since there's a mark made of my blood over there," Chu Zhu said confidently.

"Alright... let's begin!"

"Hmm." Chu Zhu took a deep breath, activating his innate ability—[Space Master]!

The tunnel to another world has been opened once again...

414 Achieving the Pinnacle

The space tunnel was eerily quiet, and the entrances and exits were shielded by protective arrays to prevent anyone from accidentally wandering in.

Inside the space tunnel, the four sat cross-legged, sensing the power of spacetime around them.

Shi Yi's brows furrowed tightly. Although he was very skilled in controlling the power of time, it did not mean that he was also very talented in space.

Shi Yi happens to be one of those people who isn't very good at spatial abilities... which is quite peculiar.

While she was still agonizing over it, Leng Yihan opened her eyes and ran swiftly towards the outside of the space tunnel.

"???" Shi Yi noticed it immediately and looked up at Leng Yihan, who was walking away, with a blank expression.

"Run!" After saying that, Ruo Yiming also ran towards the outside.

"Huh? Wait... space..."

"Yihan has completed her comprehension." Ruoyi Ming's voice reached Shi Yi's ears from afar.

"Tch... I knew this guy was a monster..." Shi Yi clicked his tongue in amazement upon hearing this. He actually grasped the comprehension in such a short time...

But if that's all there is to it, why rush to run away?

Shi Yi paused, and the next moment Ruo Yiming's words reached her ears: "Yi Han is about to break through; the breakthrough might cause the spatial tunnel to collapse."

"Run!!!" Shi Yi grabbed Chu Zhu's arm and pulled him up—he'd have to rely on this little guy to comprehend spatial power in the future!

"Fairy, your art style has gone awry!"

"Enough with the nonsense! In a life-or-death situation, who cares about Honkai or not!"

The distant space tunnel passed in the blink of an eye as Leng Yihan traveled at full speed. As soon as she left the tunnel, she found a place to sit down cross-legged and began to try to suppress the somewhat rampant energy in her body.

Are you confident?

【Have. 】

Leng Yihan said decisively that he was in a very strange feeling that was hard to describe. If he had to put it into words, it was as if a key was placed in front of him and he only needed to get his hands on the key to break through.

After Ruo Yiming came out, she rushed towards Leng Yihan without saying a word and sat in Leng Yihan's lap while Leng Yihan was completely bewildered.

What are you doing...?

Leng Yihan transmitted his voice to Ruo Yiming. He was having some difficulty speaking right now, and even transmitting his voice was challenging. Suppressing the rampaging energy within his body was already extremely difficult.

"..." Ruo Yiming did not reply, her eyes tightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling.

[Her condition isn't much better than yours. Right now, the only way to suppress the rampant energy within her is to stay by your side and rely on the energy feedback between your two main bodies. Don't forget, while you're breaking through, she's also about to break through.]

[Even breaking through to the 'peak' is happening simultaneously...?]

Without much thought, Leng Yihan, after confirming that the energy within her body had been suppressed to some extent, focused her attention on helping to suppress the energy within Ruo Yiming's body.

"Phew... I escaped..."
