Long Road to Stardom

Lin Xing thought it was her illusion, and then she tried to circulate the spiritual power in her body and found that it really loosened slightly. Then she realized that this was real.

However, she still cannot release her spiritual power, but under this situation, she will be able to break free from the restrictions here soon and perhaps leave.

It seems that if I want to leave this 'forbidden spirit space', these ancient runes are a key clue. Fortunately, I didn't destroy these ancient runes as I had originally thought, but found the clues to get out by accident with a learning attitude.

But now it is just her guess. Once she finishes learning these runes, she will know the answer.

Lin Xing made a plan and turned to Jiao Ran and said, "Jiao Ran, I seem to have found a clue to get out, but I'm not sure yet and it will take some time to find out. If you and Zhizhi feel bored, you don't have to stay here with me all the time. You can go somewhere else to see if there are other clues."

Wu Jiaoran immediately threw Zhizhi aside and grabbed Lin Xing's hand and said with surprise, "Xing, are you telling the truth?"

Lin Xing couldn't bear to see Jiao Ran disappointed, so he nodded affirmatively. If he couldn't get out at that time, he would just find another excuse.

After receiving Xing's affirmation, Wu Jiaoran's face was filled with joy, and she assured Lin Xing, "Xing, study hard. Zhizhi and I promise not to disturb you."

After saying that, she picked up the 'Squeak' that she had just thrown aside and walked away, ignoring the 'Squeak's fluttering and shouting.

Lin Xing's face was filled with black lines, but she also knew the importance of getting out to Jiaoran. Seeing the man and the beast out of her sight, she returned to the bottom of the cliff and sat cross-legged to observe the ancient runes. After a while, she sank into them, gesturing in the air with her hands from time to time.

Time flies, and before they knew it, a year and a half had passed. As usual, Wu Jiaoran came to visit Lin Xing every month with Zhizhi in her arms. However, every time, Xing didn't know they were coming, and they didn't dare to disturb her and just sat quietly by her side.

That day, she put Zhizhi in her arms on a rock beside her, then sat down on the edge. She glanced at the stars below the cliff, which were still motionless, and turned around to eat the grilled fish in her hand.

Just as she was about to eat, the grilled fish in her hand was snatched away. Seeing the grilled fish disappear, she immediately turned her head to look at Zhizhi who was sitting next to her. Just as she was about to scold him, a voice came from above her head, "Jiao Ran, you are too rude. You didn't even invite me to eat the grilled fish. You actually want to eat it alone. Do you still regard me as your friend?"

After Lin Xing finished speaking, he immediately took a big bite of the grilled fish. He was captivated by the grilled fish as soon as he put his mouth into it. Although it was a bit bland without any seasoning, the fish was extremely fresh and delicious even without any seasoning.

Soon, she finished the whole grilled fish, and then looked at Jiaoran with resentment.

Wu Jiaoran was still a little dazed at this time, but then she came to her senses and said in surprise, "Xing, you finally woke up. I thought you would stay here for a while longer."

"Xing, it's been a year and a half. Have you found any clues to leave here?"

After hearing Wu Jiaoran's words, Lin Xing was full of doubts and asked, "Jiaoran, you said I have been here for a year and a half?"

"But why do I feel like only a dozen days have passed? Are you mistaken?"

After hearing what Lin Xing said, Wu Jiaoran thought she was joking, but seeing that Xing's expression didn't seem fake, she answered with certainty, "Xing, I didn't lie to you. You really stayed here for a year and a half. Zhizhi can testify to that."

"If you still don't believe it, just look at the dust on your body and you will know if what I said is true."

After hearing this, Lin Xing immediately checked his clothes. Except for the sleeve on his right hand which he often used, the rest of his clothes were covered with a thick layer of dust, especially his head which seemed to be covered with a layer of mud.

"It's really strange. Why didn't she notice this just now? But she really felt like only a dozen days had passed."

But at this time, Lin Xing also believed what Jiao Ran said, and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Jiao Ran, I misunderstood you. I really didn't expect that I would stay here for so long. I thought you were joking with me. But you didn't invite me to eat grilled fish, so we are even."

Wu Jiaoran rolled her eyes after hearing this, and said with her hands on her hips, "Xing, you only know how to eat. Why didn't I realize you had this hobby before?"

"Did you eat secretly behind my back before?"

"No, how could I be the kind of person who would do such a thing? Please don't accuse me." After Lin Xing finished speaking, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but the expression on his face seemed unusually calm.

"I don't think you dare." Wu Jiaoran said confidently.

Then he continued, "Xing, you have been researching for so long, have you found any clues to get out?"

Lin Xing looked at Jiao Ran's hopeful eyes, a hint of apology flashed in his eyes, and he replied, "Jiao Ran, I didn't find any clues to get out, but it's not all in vain. The spiritual power in my body is now able to operate, but I can't release it yet."

"After I go to the other two locations to study for a while, I believe I will be able to leave here soon."

Wu Jiaoran's eyes flashed with disappointment, but now that she had Xing by her side, she felt that it was okay not to be able to go out, and then she replied, "Xing, don't worry too much. I've been here for so long that I've gotten used to it. Now that you're with me, I think this kind of life is not bad."

Lin Xing didn't know whether Jiao Ran was trying to comfort her or just like she said, but she would not give up and leave here. She vowed, "Jiao Ran, I can definitely take you away from here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xing drew an ancient rune in the air and slapped it towards Jiaoran. As soon as the rune touched Jiaoran, it disappeared into her body.

"Jiao Ran, try to see if the spiritual power in your body can be circulated."

When Wu Jiaoran heard this, she tried to circulate the spiritual power in her body. As expected, there was no hindrance. She raised her head and asked in confusion, "Xing, what talisman did you just draw? How can I circulate the spiritual power in my body?"

"This is not a talisman. I drew it based on the ancient runes carved on the cliff."

"I think this ancient rune is to prevent the spiritual power in our body from flowing. As long as we learn it, we can remove the restriction on our body."

"However, I have only learned 90% of it. I still don't understand the last level. The rune I just demonstrated is the result of my learning. It should be able to make the spiritual power in your body circulate for about an hour."

Lin Xing explained to Jiaoran.

After listening to this, Wu Jiaoran's eyes flashed with admiration. Suddenly, she seemed to see the figure of her own sister in Xing, so dazzling and so unreserved in her kindness.
