We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?

Xiao Mo mobilized government officials, couriers, and even fishermen and boatmen familiar with the water to transmit information about the disaster situation, water level changes, and dike conditions in the upstream and downstream areas and various villages. He quickly drew up a sketch of the disaster-stricken area, marking dangerous areas, high ground, material points, and transportation routes. He personally presided over the opening of granaries for disaster relief, resettlement of disaster victims, and focused on epidemic prevention.

In addition, Xiao Mo carried out work-for-relief projects, including digging diversion canals, confining water to flush away sand, and constructing section-by-section embankments.

In this once-in-a-decade flood, the speed at which the victims were comforted and the extent of the impact were the best since the founding of the State of Qi.

Afterwards, Xiao Mo conducted an in-depth investigation of the rivers in Beihai Prefecture, and carried out water conservancy projects to divert water for irrigation.

Areas that were once easily destroyed by floods have been transformed into fertile fields.

Xiao Mo also wrote "Essential Techniques of Water Conservancy in the State of Qi", which explained various methods for managing rivers and responding to floods, and even formulated relatively detailed standards.

From then on, Xiao Mo's reputation in the world reached its peak.

At the age of fifty-three, Xiao Mo suddenly received the devastating news that his senior brother Fang Ling had passed away in his former residence.

Holding the letter sent by his senior brother, Xiao Mo sat in the courtyard, remaining silent for a long time.

The following year, Xiao Mo received news that Magistrate Sun was seriously ill and immediately set off, but ultimately failed to see Magistrate Sun one last time.

In the twelfth year of the Jianle reign, Xiao Mo, who was over fifty-five years old, received an imperial edict.

The Qi ruler summoned Xiao Mo back to the capital.

In the thirteenth year of the Jianle era, Xiao Mo became the Prime Minister of Qi and initiated another round of reforms!

Xiao Mo paved the way with his reputation, and no matter what kind of aristocratic family or clan it was, they all had to be wary of such a prime minister who had bestowed favors upon the world and already had the reputation of a "sage".

Moreover, the Great Qi is not yet terminally ill. With His Majesty's support, Xiao Mo has recruited many ambitious individuals to carry out reforms.

Xiao Mo knew that he didn't have much time left. He wanted to do as much as he could in this life, so that he could live up to the expectations of the late emperor, his teacher, and his senior brother.

In the sixteenth year of the Jianle era, the new laws of the Qi state were implemented.

In the twentieth year of the Jianle reign, four years after the implementation of the new laws, the world had already taken on a completely new look. At this time, Xiao Mo was already sixty-three years old.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jianle, Xiao Mo was already sixty-seven years old. At this time, the turmoil in the court had all subsided.

The following year, at the age of sixty-eight, Xiao Mo submitted a memorial to the emperor, requesting to retire and return to his hometown.

Qi Zhu tried to persuade him to stay, but Xiao Mo was determined to leave.

He could sense that he didn't have two years left and only wanted to return to his hometown.

In the end, the ruler of Qi had no choice but to agree.

However, Xiao Mo was not removed from his position as prime minister, and Zheng Mohan, the Minister of Personnel, temporarily assumed the duties of prime minister.

The reason why Xiao Mo was not removed from his position as Prime Minister.

It's because Xiao Mo has offended too many powerful families and clans.

With the position of prime minister still in his grasp and the protection of the nation's fortune, Xiao Mo can live out his later years in peace.

On this day, just as Xiao Mo finished packing his belongings and wrote his last memorial to His Majesty.

Xiao Mo paused, his brushstrokes faltering.

The nearly seventy-year-old man seemed to sense something and looked in one direction.

There is a mountain in that direction.

Outside a cave halfway up the mountain, purple hydrangea and green iris flowers bloom in abundance.

Inside the cave, a white python gradually changed shape.

Finally, a woman in a white dress lay on the ground.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Chapter 60 Since you've finally managed to forget, why bother remembering again?

Sheshan.

Outside that cave, Xiaoqing sat cross-legged on the ground, breathing deeply.

Although Xiaoqing's talent is not as good as her older sister's, Xiaoqing's aptitude is definitely not bad either.

Over the course of forty-eight years, Xiaoqing had formed her demon core.

The demon core of the demon race is equivalent to the golden core of the human race.

In other words, Xiaoqing has now reached the Golden Core Realm.

Of course, Xiaoqing's smooth cultivation was also due in no small part to the guidance of Fuchen.

In the fifth year of Bai Ruxue's slumber, Xiaoqing became Fuchen's disciple in order to better protect her sister.

However, Xiaoqing did not go to Tianxuan Sect to cultivate; instead, Fuchen would come over from time to time to give her guidance.

Just as Xiaoqing was slowly breathing in and out.

Suddenly, Xiaoqing sensed movement in the cave behind the rock, and she abruptly opened her eyes.

"Could it be that"

Xiaoqing's eyes flickered, and her heartbeat gradually quickened.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaoqing felt Sheshan begin to shake.

The flags that were originally buried at the entrance of the cave broke through the ground and spun continuously in the air, forming a huge magic array that covered the entire Sheshan Mountain.

"boom!"

A loud bang came from the cave entrance.

The immense demonic energy, like a tidal wave, suddenly blasted open a three-zhang-high rock at the cave entrance!

Xiaoqing was startled and quickly dodged away.

"Wow."

A sandstorm swept up from the cave entrance.

Xiaoqing raised her hand and covered her face with her sleeve to shield herself from the wind and sand.

The boulder rolled down the mountain road, breaking countless trees before finally coming to a slow stop.

Fortunately, the array flags suspended in the air absorbed all the demonic energy, preventing any of it from leaking out.

Otherwise, this soaring demonic aura would surely have been discovered by some passing cultivators.

Xiaoqing even felt that sects within hundreds of miles could sense it.

If that's the case, then there will definitely be many people coming to "exorcise demons and monsters".

As the sandstorm gradually subsided, Xiaoqing lowered her sleeves.

A woman emerged from the cave.

The woman wore a plain white long dress, which flowed lightly and accentuated her slender shoulders and waist. The belt was lightly tied, outlining her graceful curves. The hem of the dress brushed past her ankles, and with a slight movement, the delicate outline of her ankles could be vaguely seen.

Her long, black hair was piled up like dark clouds, and the strands cascaded down like a black waterfall, just barely reaching her slender waist.

A few wisps of hair lightly brushed against her smooth, snow-white cheeks, and her jade-colored neck was long and slender, extending to her collar like a piece of warm, beautiful jade.

"elder sister."

Xiaoqing looked at her older sister who was walking towards her, her eyes filled with joy, wondering if she was dreaming.

Xiaoqing had dreamt of her older sister waking up far too many times.

But every time Xiaoqing woke up from her dream, looking at the empty wooden house, she felt only endless disappointment.

But this time it's different!

The scorching summer sun, the cool mountain breeze, the scent of earth and flowers.

Those incredibly real feelings told Xiaoqing that this time, she wasn't dreaming.

Xiaoqing happily ran forward and took her sister's delicate little hand: "Sister, you're finally awake. Xiaoqing has been waiting for you for so long. Fortunately, you've successfully completed your seclusion."

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"elder sister?"

Xiaoqing looked at Bai Ruxue with a puzzled expression.

Xiaoqing saw a look of bewilderment on her older sister's face.

Bai Ruxue withdrew her small hand, tilted her head, and looked at Xiaoqing with a puzzled expression: "Who are you? Why do you call me sister? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity with you?"

As she spoke, Bai Ruxue lowered her head, her eyebrows furrowed: "Yes. Who are you? And who am I? Why am I here?"

"Huh?" Xiaoqing stared blankly at her older sister. "Sister, don't you remember anything? I'm Xiaoqing, your younger sister. Your name is Bai Ruxue. The reason I'm here is because you're about to transform into a python and have fallen into a deep sleep."

"Bai Ruxue? My name is Bai Ruxue, Bai Ruxue."

Bai Ruxue repeatedly murmured her own name.

The more Bai Ruxue chanted, the more her head ached, as if it were about to split open, and she kept tapping her head with her wrist.

"Sister, are you alright?" Xiaoqing hugged her sister tightly, holding her wrist tightly.

Bai Ruxue shook her head, raised her head, and the disappointment and confusion in her peach blossom eyes made Xiaoqing's heart ache:

"I can't seem to remember anything. My head hurts so much and I feel so confused."

"It's okay, sister. If you can't remember, just stop thinking about it for now. You'll definitely remember eventually," Xiaoqing quickly reassured her.

But Bai Ruxue wouldn't listen to Xiaoqing at all.

Bai Ruxue looked increasingly pained, and her face even turned somewhat pale.

"Oh no! My sister's resolve is wavering!"

Xiaoqing was startled.

Just as Xiaoqing was thinking about what she should do, a fiery red light streaked across the sky.

The whisk arrived above Sheshan Mountain.

Looking at the array flags floating in the sky and the woman in the white dress in the mountains, Fuchen put away the array flags and quickly landed, walking briskly to Bai Ruxue's side.

Fuchen took out a pill and placed it into her cherry lips, then touched her brow with his index finger.

Soon, Bai Ruxue's brows slowly relaxed, and she fell asleep in Xiaoqing's arms.

"Master, what's wrong with my sister?"

Xiaoqing looked at the whisk nervously.

"During your sister's seclusion, her soul experienced some problems, which affected her memory."

Fuchen shook his head and slowly spoke.

"When snakes cultivate, especially during this kind of molting and seclusion to purify their bloodline, they must not rush it and must proceed step by step."

But when your sister was in seclusion, she probably subconsciously kept thinking about waking up as soon as possible.

Your subconscious mind is gradually affecting your sister's health.

So your sister woke up early, but the price was damage to her soul, resulting in memory loss.

Fortunately, the foundation was not damaged, which is already a great blessing.

I just gave your sister a calming pill. She just needs some rest and will be fine. Don't worry too much.

Xiaoqing hugged her sister's shoulders tightly: "Master, will my sister be able to regain her memories?"

"It's just about regaining memories, is that so difficult?"

Fuchen looked at Xiaoqing calmly.

"If you wish, I can restore her memory for her. But Xiaoqing, is it really a good thing for Ruxue to restore her memory?"

Xiao Mo is now sixty-eight years old; he has at most two years left to live.

"."

Xiaoqing's eyes glazed over as she looked at her older sister in her arms, her thin lips pressed tightly together.

"Take this pill. It is called the Soul Memory Pill. If you want Ruxue to regain her memories, give it to your sister after half a month, once her soul has stabilized."

But Xiaoqing.

Sometimes it's better to forget than to remember.
