Covering the Sky: The Years I Was the Empress's Strictest Master

The only question that arose was that the other party seemed to be a little too respectful towards the child!

Even if the other person's parents are their teachers, this is still inappropriate.

"Do...do you still recognize me?"

Finally, after a brief close-up eye contact, Li Qingjue couldn't help but ask in a slightly trembling voice.

you?

Xiang Li almost doubted whether there was something wrong with his ears.

Beside him, Tan Lin blinked his large eyes, clearly reflecting the figure of the woman in the black dress, and then softly asked:

"Sister, should we...know each other?"

elder sister……

Should we get to know each other...?

hum!

Upon hearing this, Li Qingjue felt a buzzing in his mind, and he could no longer hear any sound from the outside world.

These nine short characters are like sharp thorns formed from millennia-old ice.

It instantly pierced through all her previous excitement and joy, and then a bone-chilling coldness and bitterness surged into her evil dragon heart.

We met... but did not recognize each other.

At this moment, she was almost 60% certain that the boy in front of her was her master.

But the soul residing within this young body seems to have changed.

There are no memories of her, no sense of familiarity.

This reunion, this moment, was very different from what she had originally imagined.

Although the separation was very short, only three years.

But today, when we meet again, it seems that nothing is left.

At this moment, the feelings of loss and sadness brought about by the shattering of great hope overwhelmed Li Qingjue like a tidal wave.

Beneath the bronze mask, those clear eyes instantly became misty with moisture.

Followed by.

A tear, without warning, slid down her delicate cheek.

Finally, it dripped onto the cold snow, silently.

He came back, but it was as if he had left forever.

Is a master without memories still her master?

The answer to this question was like a dull knife, repeatedly cutting into her heart.

"Sister, why are you crying?"

Tan Lin looked at the tear tracks sliding down her cheeks and felt a strange pang of pity.

He had indeed not awakened any memories of the other person, so it was impossible for him to recognize them and it would be difficult for him to achieve emotional resonance with them in the matter of their reunion.

However, in the state of [All Causes Perspective], he can see that the causal line connecting the other party's anchor point to him is without any impurities.

This means that the relationship between the other party and him is one of good cause and good effect, and that the other party is not an uninvited guest.

And the natural and genuine sense of kinship he felt when he saw the other person was undeniable.

From these aspects, he could deduce that this must be a ruthless person who once cherished him greatly.

Yes, at this stage of time, the Feathered Divine Dynasty still exists. Combining this with the characteristics of the woman in the black dress, he roughly guessed her identity.

However, the ensuing confusion and doubts almost filled his mind.

What was your past self to the other person?

Did I cry...?

Tan Lin's words seemed to shatter Li Qingjue's last pretense.

She took a deep breath, as if using all her strength, and then slowly, very slowly, raised her hand.

Finally, under Xiang Li's wary gaze.

She gently removed the bronze mask from her face, a mask that had remained on for over three years and represented bloodshed and carnage in the Five Domains of the Big Dipper.

wow...

Under the watchful eyes of the old man and the young girl, her mask fell off, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty.

Her beauty is beyond words.

It is an extraordinary and stunning beauty, so magnificent that it makes the sun and moon pale in comparison.

But at this moment, those eyes, brimming with tears, were filled with unspeakable sorrow and longing, as well as a trace of relief.

She just looked at Tan Lin like that.

Looking at the other person's face, which no longer felt familiar at all.

She didn't know why, even though the other person's eyebrows, facial features, and overall appearance were exactly like her master's...

As she looked at it, she suddenly realized that the image of her master in her memory seemed extremely blurry, and she couldn't recall any details at all.

But she's not the only one like this.

Three years ago in the Snow Valley, Tianling had the same feeling when she saw someone reincarnated.

It's clearly the same person, with facial features that are already the prototype of the previous life, revealing the shadow of the previous life in every way, but it's just that people can't make the connection and there's no way to compare them.

tick...

Tears welled up in her eyes and flowed even more profusely down Li Qingjue's pretty face, leaving many tear tracks.

But she tried her best to give him a smile that was incredibly complex, yet breathtaking.

…………

Chapter 81 Finally, I held you in my arms.

Li Qingjue's smile.

There is the joy of reunion, and the sorrow of things changing and people being gone.

There was also the helplessness she felt at being unable to recognize each other for the time being, and even more so, a resolute farewell.

At this moment, all her emotions, including joy, had vanished, but she still tried to smile at Tan Lin.

Because in her mind, reunion should be a happy occasion.

Even such a reunion was far from satisfactory for her, whom she had long fantasized about.

in the snow.

She looked at Tan Lin, and Tan Lin looked at her too.

Looking at her face, which was a mixture of tears and laughter, I was slightly stunned.

The other party removed a bronze mask, but wasn't the face beneath that mask also another mask?

Time passes little by little.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Xiang Li had already withdrawn his Sacred Domain at some point and stood silently to the side.

the end.

Seeing the woman in the black dress extend her slightly trembling hand, his expression hardened, and his body tensed, ready to strike.

But then a faint light flashed at the tip of her jade-like finger, and a piece of bronze divine material appeared in her palm.

laugh……

Immediately, she used divine runes to draw upon the essence of heaven and earth fire contained beneath the red rocks, and slowly smelted the divine materials.

During this time, she used her jade-like fingers as a brush to outline Taoist patterns on it.

The process was long, and the sky had unknowingly darkened, but Xiang Li did not make a sound to disturb them.

Tan Lin watched quietly, then suddenly realized what the other person was about to do...

laugh……

The essence of heaven and earth's fire scorches, the golden crow sets in the west, and the jade rabbit rises in the east.

As night deepened, Li Qingjue forged a brand new bronze mask.

This mask is exactly the same as the one she took off, and the Taoist patterns on it are engraved and reproduced as closely as possible.

However, it is only half-covered, covering only the left half of the face.

Immediately afterwards, Li Qingjue squatted down again, ignoring Xiang Li's sharp gaze, and carefully put the half of the mask on Tan Lin's small face.

The cold, bronze-like feel startled Tan Lin.

"This... is for you."

Li Qingjue's voice was as soft as a dream, with a barely perceptible sob in it.

“I know you won’t need it, but I really… really hope you can keep it…”

As she finished speaking, she gave Tan Lin a deep look, as if she wanted to etch that youthful face into the depths of her soul.

Suddenly.

A sudden impulse welled up in her heart.

Wow!

As if recalling the regret of their past parting, she suddenly opened her arms and embraced Tan Lin.

In his arms, Tan Lin's eyes widened.

"you?!"

The sudden turn of events almost caught Xiang Li off guard.

Fortunately, the other person was just giving him a hug and showed no malice or murderous intent whatsoever, which explains why he didn't feel any alarm.

But this still gave him a fright.

Even if you can tell that the other person is genuinely expressing their feelings, you can't fake it.

After he removed that mask, his emotional fluctuations could no longer be hidden from his divine sense, but he still shouldn't have concealed his sacred domain.

rustling... rustling...

As the night wore on, fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky above.

None of the three people in the snow used their divine power to dispel it.

However, Li Qingjue's hug lasted a bit too long and was a bit too tight, making it almost impossible for Xiao Tanlin to breathe.

A while passed.

She slowly released Tan Lin.

Then she resolutely straightened up and put on the bronze mask that her master had given her, covering her stunning face and all her outward emotions.

She had actually figured things out somewhat.

During the day, Tan Lin said to her, "Should we get to know each other?" instead of "Do we know each other?"

The difference between these two is actually worth considering, and the other party seems to be hinting at something to her.

For some reason, she thought of her master's rivals.

He thought of his master's unpredictable and mysterious methods that could make people temporarily forget him.

“Senior, I know you have many questions about this child, but right now, I have just as many questions as you…”

With her thoughts in turmoil, Li Qingjue looked at Xiang Li, who was about to speak, and slowly said.

As she spoke, her voice no longer trembled as it had when she first met Tan Lin during the day; it had calmed down and regained its cool and aloof quality.
