What to do?
It was rare for Su Junmo to be so conflicted. Xue Jinwen said so much, obviously not only to explain to him why she wanted to seek help from Xue Clan. What she actually hinted was…
Su Junmo quickly reacted. Xue Jinwen should have thought that he had a feeling for ng Qi, so she brought out her brother as a friendly warning. Xue Chengxuan was not only the eldest son and heir of the Xue family, but he was also a fellow dical cultivator. Even just speaking about interest and hobby, he was indeed a good match for ng Qi.
Su Junmo was a bit dumbfounded. He swore that he really didn’t have such a thought about ng Qi! Not only him, but even one hundred Xue Chengxuan were not the Lord’s opponent!
“Fellow Daoist Su,” Xue Jinwen opened her mouth again, “Feng Alliance is the number one dical sect in Western Realm. Now that so many people witnessed with their own eyes how Senior Lin Yan acknowledged ng Qi as her friend, Feng Alliance will not just stand on the side when it cos to her life or death.”
“I see.” Su Junmo made up his mind in an instant. Even for celestial demons like him, Starfallen Sea was a very dangerous and ominous place. Although ng Qi said she was safe for the ti being, how long could she last? The longer she stayed inside Starfallen Sea, the more dangerous it would be.
“So,” Xue Jinwen said, “Fellow Daoist Su, can you accompany to see my elder brother?”
“Okay.” Once Su Junmo made the decision, he didn’t hesitate anymore. However, he must also find a way to report this matter to the Lord. So far, no ssages ca on the jade slip they used to communicate, and Su Junmo really did not dare to call the shots without authorization. “Let’s go.” He made up his mind and walked towards the door.
The two left the restaurant one after another and walked towards the teleportation array.
…
At this ti, ng Qi had already arrived at Heaven And Earth Bookhall.
“Senior.” ng Qi stood inside the quiet bookhall and looked up at the seemingly endless spiraling stairs above her head. “Are you here?” She retracted her gaze and looked around. The entire hall was quiet, and there was no one else here besides her.
After waiting for a while, ng Qi walked forward. None of the bookshelves had signage that provided a clue of the contents of jade slips and bamboo slips it held, and there were a huge number of such bookshelf on each floor, amounting to countless jade slips and bamboo slips. ng Qi had no doubt — if she blindly browsed the books one by one, she probably would not be able to find what she needed even after decades of looking.
“Senior.” ng Qi called again, but there was still no response. She had no choice but to pick up a jade slip on the bookshelf next to her and pour a bit of aura into it. ng Qi quickly skimd over the book and found that it was a biography of a certain Devil City Lord from the past. The said city lord lived thousands of years ago, and it was a na ng Qi had never heard before.
Alas… ng Qi sighed and put the jade slip back on the self. Doing it this way was akin to finding a needle in a haystack and definitely not a solution.
…seems that she has to give up today.
ng Qi hesitated for a mont, then she turned and walked out of the bookhall in disappointnt.
As she left Beyond The Heaven, ng Qi subconsciously raised her head and gave the highest floating island a final look before stepping into the teleportation array.
…
Starfallen Sea, the great wilderness island.
ng Qi slowly opened her eyes and glanced down at the jade slip that had been ward by her skin temperature. Although she failed to find what she needed, seeing her friends in Beyond The Heaven was a pleasant surprise. ng Qi propped her cheek with one hand, glanced at the furnishings in the room, and began contemplating. She wondered how long Sovereign Qingyan planned to stay here. Also, why was he in Starfallen Sea? He looked very familiar with this island, as if returning to his own ho. Was this place the ho of the reclusive sect he told her about in her previous life, or…
ng Qi recalled her first eting with Yun Qingyan in her previous life. At that ti, the man also descended suddenly from the sky. ng Qi was looking for a dicinal ingredient on a mountain. There were many venomous snakes on that mountain, and the dicinal ingredient she sought after was the treasure they guarded. Although ng Qi had brought a lot of snakes repellant, when she finally got the dicinal ingredient, she was still surrounded by a large number of snakes.
At that ti, ng Qi was only a fifth realm Foundation Establishnt cultivator, even weaker than she is now. After trying her best to repel and kill dozens of the snakes, one of them struck from her blind spot and bit her arm.
Then, like a deity, Yun Qingyan suddenly descended from the sky. With just a flick of his sleeve, the snakes tumbled around, as if being thrown into boiling water, and soon died before ng Qi’s eyes.
She still rembered the first words he said to her at the ti: “You are but a weak Foundation Establishnt, what are you doing here? Do you want to die?”
Of course ng Qi didn’t want to die. The dicine she wanted to make was to save a man in the city on the foot of the mountain, who was afflicted with a strange disease. Yun Qingyan sent her all the way to the city and then seed to watch with great interest as ng Qi proceeded to refine the dicine and heal the patient.
Three days later, after the man was finally able to get out of bed, Yun Qingyan said to her: “Follow . I will teach you how to save your life before saving others.”
ng Qi left with Yun Qingyan. As if taking everything for granted, she never asked who he was or where did he co from. She also never suspected whether this man, who had saved her life once, harbored a hidden intention. ng Qi at that ti was just a poor wandering cultivator. She was also rely a small Foundation Establishnt cultivator, and her dical skill, the only valuable thing she possessed, was not worth ntioning in Yun Qingyan’s eyes.
Since then, the two began to travel together.
