Long Road to Stardom

Lin Xing immediately turned around and took away the stone flower carved on the sarcophagus, but nothing happened this time.

Returning to the stone gate that blocked the way, Lin Xing placed the stone in his hand against the patterns on it.

In the blink of an eye, the stone flower seemed to come alive and looked like a real flower. The patterns on the stone gate also began to glow and gathered into the stone flower.

After a noise, the stone door opened, and the flowers on the stone door shot directly into her forehead before she could react.

Lin Xing cursed in his heart, he had taken all precautions but still he was caught.

She quickly checked her sea of ​​consciousness and saw that the flower was quietly floating in her sea of ​​consciousness, and would not move no matter how she tried to drive it away.

Lin Xing sighed and could only accept her fate. She no longer paid attention to this accident and would continue her research when she had time.

Looking at the open stone door, Lin Xing stepped in.

As soon as he stepped inside, Lin Xing was shocked. There was a whole different world inside the door. Looking at the valley full of birdsong and flowers, Lin Xing felt it was a little unreal.

"Could this be an illusion?" Lin Xing thought as he checked with his 'Illusion Eyes', but he didn't find anything wrong.

Lin Xing was a little bit unbelievable. There was such a place in the ancient battlefield. Or was it just an illusion? His ability was not enough to detect such a powerful illusion.

She had just released her spiritual sense to investigate the situation here, but found that her spiritual sense could not be used. Lin Xing tried another method, pinching her knuckles to release the "detection technique", and found that she could not mobilize the spiritual power in her body.

"What's going on? Why can't I use my spiritual sense and spiritual power? Is this a 'forbidden spiritual space'?" Lin Xing immediately thought of this situation and wanted to go back, but found that the door had disappeared at some point.

"I'm screwed now!" Not being able to use her spiritual sense was like losing a penny. Now she couldn't even mobilize the spiritual power in her body, and she couldn't even open her storage ring. She couldn't even take things to defend herself. If she hadn't practiced body-building exercises, she would be no different from an ordinary person now. She could only take one step at a time.

Lin Xing walked cautiously in the valley, and unknowingly came to a stream not far from the valley. She saw a person by the stream from a distance. The back of the person looked very familiar. She hurried over and asked softly, "Jiao Ran, is that you?"

The man trembled slightly, turned around, and said with disbelief in his eyes, "Xing, you finally came to see me."

Without waiting for Lin Xing to answer, Wu Jiaoran rushed over and hugged Lin Xing, saying aggrievedly, "Xing, why did you come only now? I'm so lonely and scared here alone."

Lin Xing was speechless for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Jiao Ran, I'm sorry, I came late. I thought you wouldn't come to the ancient battlefield, so I didn't look for you."

Lin Xing quickly admitted her mistake, but she didn't know how to comfort Jiaoran, so she just patted her back over and over again.

When Wu Jiaoran heard Xing say this, most of the grievances in her heart immediately disappeared, but she still looked hesitant and waited for Lin Xing to comfort her.

Lin Xing saw through her little thoughts at a glance, but she was still very patient with Jiaoran. She comforted her softly for a long time, and only stopped when she saw Jiaoran burst into laughter.

Wu Jiaoran returned to her previous state, immediately left Lin Xing's arms, and lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Lin Xing found her like this a little funny, and touched her head and said, "You weren't like this before. How come you've become shy after not seeing you for a while?"

When Wu Jiaoran heard this, she immediately raised her head and said loudly, "I'm not shy, it's just... it's just..."

Seeing that she was speechless, Lin Xing did not point it out. Instead, he pulled her to a rock by the stream and sat down.

"Jiao Ran, please tell me what happened during your time in the ancient battlefield and why you are trapped here."

Listening to Xing's caring words, Wu Jiaoran told him everything that had happened to her during her time on the ancient battlefield.

After listening to Jiaoran's narration, Lin Xing couldn't help but sigh that her luck was really bad, but she didn't show it and just agreed with her.

Half a day later, Jiaoran finished telling her everything that happened in the ancient battlefield.

After hearing this, Lin Xing was puzzled and asked, "Jiao Ran, didn't you say that you were brought here by a mouse? Why didn't you see the mouse?"

"Hey, he was here just now. I guess he went to steal the honey again." Wu Jiaoran looked around and said helplessly.

"Xing, stop asking me this. I want to know how you got to the ancient battlefield in the first place."

Looking at Jiaoran's extremely serious eyes, Lin Xing did not hide anything in order to avoid any rift between them. He talked about the original situation, but still concealed some things.

Wu Xing's eyes turned red after hearing this. He felt extremely upset and murmured, "So it was really because of my father that you came here."

"Jiao Ran, don't be like this. I'm fine now. You came to the ancient battlefield because of me. We are even now."

Wu Jiaoran felt even more upset when she heard this. She stared into Lin Xing's eyes and asked, "Xing, will you return to the Demon Cloud Sect?"

Although she didn't want to see Jiaoran's disappointed look, she still shook her head and said, "I won't go back to the Demon Cloud Sect. Some things have already happened and can never be made up for."

Wu Jiaoran was not surprised to hear this, and did not continue to ask questions, because she could not change Xing's decision at all. Xing has always been a person with his own ideas.

Looking at the silent Jiao Ran, Lin Xing changed the subject and said, "Jiao Ran, you have been in this valley for more than 20 years. What have you found out?"

"Ah, Xing, what did you just say?"

Lin Xing held his forehead and asked again.

After a long time, seeing Jiaoran staring at her without any reaction, Lin Xing waved her hand in front of Jiaoran and asked in confusion, "Jiaoran, what's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

"Xing, why is there a flower between your eyebrows?" Wu Jiaoran came back to her senses and said to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing felt puzzled after hearing this, and his hand unconsciously touched his forehead, but he didn't notice anything.

Looking at the stream not far from her, she stood up and walked to the edge of the stream. Looking at her face reflected in the water, Lin Xing was surprised.

"Why does this flower look like the one in her sea of ​​consciousness?"

She quickly reached into her sea of ​​consciousness, and sure enough, the flower was still floating in her sea of ​​consciousness, looking exactly the same as the flower on her forehead.

Seeing this, Lin Xing cursed in his heart, "Not only did you run into my sea of ​​consciousness, but you also left a mark on me. No matter how I change my appearance in the future, people will recognize me at a glance."
