The two chatted back and forth, a relaxed and warm atmosphere filling the room. Sunlight streamed through the window onto them, casting a golden halo over their figures. Their laughter echoed in the air, and everything was harmonious, beautiful.
Suddenly, Xiao Ling frowned slightly, and he felt a strange feeling passing through his heart, as if even his heartbeat paused briefly.
Qing Lin noticed Xiao Ling's abnormality, and she asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something, or are you not feeling well?"
Xiao Ling came back to his senses, gently rubbed Qinglin's little head, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, I just suddenly had a strange feeling just now, and I can't tell what it is."
Qing Lin frowned slightly, and she said worriedly, "Master, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Do you want me to ask Master to help you?"
"No need, Qinglin, I'm really fine." Xiao Ling patted Qinglin's back gently, trying to calm her worries. "Maybe I was too absorbed in thinking just now. Don't worry."
Qing Lin looked at Xiao Ling with worry in her eyes, but she was relieved to see that he was fine. She said softly, "Well, Master, if you feel unwell, you must tell me."
Xiao Ling nodded, then stood up from the armchair. Qing Lin also jumped off his legs lightly, and naturally took Xiao Ling's hand.
The two walked to the door of the room. Xiao Ling's gaze turned to the north, as if he was staring at somewhere in the distance, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
"Young Master, are you planning to go out for a while?" Qing Lin looked at Xiao Ling's profile with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
"Yes, Qinglin, I have to go out for a while." Xiao Ling turned around and said with a smile, "It seems like something is calling me and makes me feel at home."
Qinglin frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Then do you want Senior Tianhuo to go with you? That way, if you encounter any danger, there will be someone to take care of you."
Xiao Ling shook his head and replied easily, "No need, Qinglin. I have a Heavenly Demon Puppet in my hand, which is enough to protect me. I won't be gone for too long, and I will definitely be back within a week."
After hearing this, Qing Lin was still a little worried, but seeing Xiao Ling's confident look, she no longer insisted. She nodded gently and said, "Then Master, you must be careful. I will wait for you here."
Xiao Ling patted the back of Qing Lin's hand, with a gentle light in his eyes, "Don't worry, I will be careful. Please tell Skyfire Venerable and Little Medical Fairy for me. You should also take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back."
Qing Lin nodded slightly, a smile on his face, "I understand, Master. You can go without any worries."
Although Qinglin was somewhat curious about Xiao Ling's whereabouts, she knew that if Xiao Ling wanted to talk, he would tell her. Since Xiao Ling did not take the initiative to speak, she would not ask further.
Xiao Ling nodded slightly without saying anything else. He just flashed and disappeared from the spot like a gust of wind.
Qing Lin stood at the door, watching Xiao Ling's back until his figure completely disappeared from his sight...
……
Xiao Ling's figure flickered in the sky, and within a few breaths, he was already standing above the clouds.
Then he summoned Rayquaza, jumped up, and landed steadily on its back.
The Splinter Cell was suddenly summoned, and it looked a little confused. It cast a puzzled look at Xiao Ling. During this period of time, it had been accumulating energy and preparing to break through to the eighth level. Logically, Xiao Ling should not disturb it at this time. Could it be that it encountered some danger?
"Don't worry, old friend. I need your help this time." Xiao Ling patted Rayquaza's head gently with a hint of smile in his tone. He pointed in the direction he sensed before and said, "Just fly over there."
Likongzuo understood Xiao Ling's intention and without any hesitation, it twisted its slender body slightly and flew quickly in the direction Xiao Ling pointed.
In the sky, Rayquaza streaked across like a flash of lightning, its figure dragging out a graceful arc. Its slender figure swiftly broke through the clouds along the way, leaving a trail of cloud in the place in an instant.
Xiao Ling sat steadily on the back of the Likong Throne, with the howling wind in his face, and no one knew what he was planning in his mind.
However, no one could notice that the Yin-Yang Fish jade pendant worn around Xiao Ling's neck was quietly flashing an almost imperceptible yet mysterious faint halo.
……
In the center of Xinlian City, a quaint wooden attic towers into the sky. Its existence seems to be the guardian of this city, quietly witnessing the passage of time.
The sunlight shines through the windows on the top floor of the attic and onto the spacious balcony, which has a wide view and offers an unobstructed view of the bustling scene of the entire city.
On the wide balcony, a woman stood quietly, her figure looking particularly noble under the sunlight.
Her eyes looked through the bustling crowd and into the distance, as if she was thinking about something.
On the streets, although the sun was high in the sky, the trees and lampposts on both sides of the street were already hung with colorful lanterns and ribbons, adding a touch of brilliant color to the coming night.
The vendors put out a variety of lanterns early in the morning, ranging from traditional paper lanterns to exquisite glass lanterns, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Children holding colorful windmills and balloons in their hands happily shuttled among the crowd. Their laughter and the sound of the spinning windmills intertwined, adding vitality and vigor to the city.
Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in the air, and an old man in a brocade robe appeared silently on the balcony.
There was a subtle arrogance in his eyes, but when he faced the woman in front of him, that arrogance instantly turned into respect.
He bowed slightly and reported to the woman respectfully: "Miss, there is a space wormhole in Xinlian City that leads directly to Yecheng. If we set off now, we can reach Yecheng tomorrow."
After hearing this, the woman nodded, and then asked curiously, "Mr. Lin, why is this city so lively?"
The old man called Mr. Lin smiled and explained, "This is the Lantern Festival held every three years in Xinlian City. People from surrounding cities come here to see it. Miss, are you also interested in this Lantern Festival?"
The woman nodded, but she quickly withdrew her gaze from the bustling city. She said softly, "Forget it. The most important thing is to go to Yecheng and find Brother Xiao Ling first."
When the old man heard the woman's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and wondered in his heart what had happened to his eldest daughter that she was so obsessed with a boy from a declining family.
If those young talents in the clan who admire the young lady saw this scene, they would probably be so angry that they vomit blood.
He had also heard that the bigwigs in the clan had different opinions on this relationship, some supported it, some opposed it, but most people chose to remain neutral.
The old man also knew something about the young man named Xiao Ling. Although he did not have the same family background as the young lady, he was also considered to be a leader among the younger generation. Even compared with the top talents in the clan, he was not inferior, and even better.
The young man named Xiao Ling was able to get to where he is today step by step from a humble beginning. As long as he does not die prematurely, he will definitely have a place on the mainland in the future and may not be unworthy of his young lady.
Of course, the old man knew that it was not his turn to worry about these major matters. It was better to leave the family's bigwigs to worry about such decisions.
Chapter 340 See you again
Just as Xun'er was about to leave this elegant attic, she suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, causing her movements to slow down involuntarily. In her mind, a figure that she missed day and night suddenly flashed.
"Miss, what happened?" Old Lin noticed Xun'er's abnormality and asked with a hint of doubt.
Xun'er pondered for a moment, gently supported her chin with her slender fingers, and then said, "Mr. Lin, let's put our plan to go to Yecheng on hold for now. I have to go out first."
"Understood, Miss." Although Mr. Lin didn't know why Xun'er suddenly changed her plan, he knew that as a subordinate, he only needed to follow the Miss's orders. "Do we need all of us to act together?"
Xun Er shook her head and said softly, "Don't bother, Mr. Lin, just come with me, and the others will stay here and wait."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xun'er's figure disappeared from the spot like a gust of wind, floating away into the distance.
Seeing this, Elder Lin did not hesitate at all and immediately followed behind...
……
In the distant sky, a slender black shadow cut through the sky, rushing past with a slight sound of breaking wind.
Above the black shadow, a man stood proudly. The raging wind blew his azure hair back, but it still couldn't shake his straight pine-like posture.
Xiao Ling gently touched the Yin-Yang Pisces jade pendant on his neck, thinking to himself, "Why did this Lingxi pendant suddenly react? Could it be that there is something nearby that can cause it to resonate?"
Four days had passed since he left Yecheng. Relying on the amazing speed of the Sky Splitting Seat, Xiao Ling was already an unknown distance away from Yecheng.
As Xiao Ling moved forward in the direction of the initial mysterious sensation, the feeling became stronger and stronger. This also made Xiao Ling figure out that this reaction came from the Lingxi Pei he had obtained before.
Although Xiao Ling was confused by this sudden sensation, his intuition told him that this should not be a bad thing. So he decided to follow this feeling and move on.
Just as he was thinking this, Rayquaza had already taken him to the sky above a peach forest. Xiao Ling's eyes were firmly attracted by the scenery below. The peach forest there was like a pink ocean. Under the gentle breeze of spring, the flowers swayed gently, and the petals fluttered in the wind, beautiful as a dream.
"Haha, such a beautiful peach forest is really rare," Xiao Ling laughed softly, and withdrew his gaze from the boundless pink ocean. "But now, I still have something to do, otherwise it would be quite pleasant to take a walk here." He smiled slightly and shook his head with some regret.
Just as he was about to move forward, the Yin-Yang Pisces jade pendant on Xiao Ling's neck suddenly flickered. This time the halo was brighter than any previous time, and it immediately attracted Xiao Ling's attention.
Immediately, a strong feeling surged in his heart, as if something was quietly calling him.
"What's going on? Have I come close to the place that makes my jade pendant react?" Xiao Ling muttered to himself, with curiosity and excitement flashing in his eyes, "I want to see what treasure is causing this trouble."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling gently patted Rayquaza's neck and issued a command to descend. Rayquaza understood, and it turned gracefully in the air, then slowly descended towards the peach forest.
As the altitude decreases, the details of the peach forest become clearer and clearer. Each peach blossom looks like a carefully crafted work of art, making people want to get closer.
After finding a wide open space deep in the peach forest, Rayquaza circled over it and slowly descended.
Xiao Ling jumped down lightly, and his toes touched the soft grass and falling peach petals, as if he was stepping on a pink velvet carpet.
With a slight tremor, Rayquaza's body gradually shrank, and finally became a small shape of more than one meter long, circling around Xiao Ling happily.
Xiao Ling took out some pills made with grade 8 medicinal materials from his ring and handed them to Liekongzuo. He touched Liekongzuo's head and said with a smile, "You have worked hard on the journey these days. This is the reward you deserve."
Rayquaza naturally understood what Xiao Ling said. He rubbed his head against Xiao Ling's cheek affectionately, and was obviously in a very happy mood.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the peach blossoms and fell on Xiao Ling's face, looking warm and gentle. He took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance of flowers, and his mood couldn't help but relax.
Rayquaza circled happily around Xiao Ling, sniffing the flower petals on the ground from time to time, as if it found everything here new and novel.
After some teasing, Xiao Ling took Liekong to sit in the peach blossom forest and strolled along the vague sensation.
The scenery in the peach blossom forest is pleasant, with pink petals gently swaying in the breeze, and the sun shining through the treetops onto the forest path, creating mottled light and shadows. The brook in the forest gurgles, and occasionally you can see a few monsters playing in the forest.
On a lush peach tree, a snow rabbit was curled up on a thick branch and taking a nap. Its furry body rose and fell gently with its breathing, and its ears were playfully stained with a few pink peach petals, looking very cute.
Not far away, a spotted deer was leisurely foraging on the grass, chewing the fresh grass leaves slowly and savoring them.
When its eyes met Xiao Ling and Rayquaza, it just raised its head and looked at them curiously with its clear big eyes, then continued to enjoy its lunch, not seeming to be worried about the two uninvited guests.
Xiao Ling had no intention of disturbing the tranquility, and they continued to move forward slowly along the faint sensation. The scenery of the peach blossom forest also changed accordingly, sometimes open and sometimes deep.
Although Xiao Ling's attention was attracted by the beautiful scenery around him, his heart was always lingering on that mysterious feeling. It was like an invisible compass, leading him forward.
After walking for a while, Xiao Ling found that the induction was getting stronger and stronger, as if they were approaching a destination. His curiosity was gradually aroused, and he didn't know what kind of existence could cause his Lingxi Pei to have such a strong reaction.
When they passed through the dense peach blossom forest, the view suddenly opened up and a small lake surrounded by peach blossoms appeared in front of them. The lake water was clear and the bottom was visible. There were a few peach blossoms floating on the lake, like a beautiful painting.
On a huge rock by the lake, a woman in a green dress sat, her back to Xiao Ling, her long black hair falling like a waterfall, holding a thin bamboo flute in her hand. The woman's figure looked particularly otherworldly against the backdrop of peach blossoms.
Xiao Ling stopped and was secretly surprised. Could it be that the appearance of this woman was the reason why the Lingxi Pei reacted? But why did this back figure feel familiar?
He was about to go forward to ask, but the woman seemed to have noticed his arrival, and slowly turned around, revealing a beautiful face. There was a faint smile in her eyes, as if she had been waiting here for a long time.
Xiao Ling's eyes met the woman's. At that moment, time seemed to stop and all the sounds in the world disappeared.
His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and a hint of unbelievable surprise flashed in his eyes. That familiar face, that outline that he had missed day and night, wasn't it the person in his heart?
"Xun'er...?" Xiao Ling's voice trembled with a hint of disbelief. His heartbeat accelerated at this moment, and his eyes flashed with complex light.
Xun'er's eyes also flashed with excitement. She stood up gently. After years of separation, they were finally reunited. Her heart was filled with complex emotions, joy, surprise, and emotion intertwined.
All these emotions gathered at the corners of her mouth, blooming into a gentle smile, just like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, creating layers of delicate ripples.
"Brother Xiao Ling, long time no see..." Her voice was soft and full of emotion, like petals gently falling in a peach forest, gentle and with a hint of indescribable tenderness.
Their eyes met, and it was as if they had crossed the long river of time in an instant and returned to the past times full of laughter.
Xiao Ling felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He quickened his pace, took a few steps, and his figure flashed several times before he stood in front of Xun'er.
"Xun'er, I didn't expect to meet you here. Did you know that I would come here?" Xiao Ling asked with a hint of curiosity and surprise. His voice was full of joy of encounter and a hint of disbelief.
"I originally heard from the clan that you went to Yecheng, and was planning to look for you..." Xun'er said with a playful smile, "But halfway through, I suddenly had an indescribable feeling that you would come to find me. So I changed my mind and came here directly. I thought I missed you too much, so I had this illusion, but I didn't expect you to really appear in front of me."
