Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

In the long journey of life, the healing of the soul really only happens in a certain moment, and the long-lasting nostalgia actually only appears in a certain period of time.

We may have forgotten the fragmented details of the past years, but when we walk through these dusty fragments again, there will always be a moment that will make your heart deaf.

On the top of the nameless mountain opposite the Hanging Mountain, on this morning when the sky was full of colorful clouds, there stood two people, two women with their faces covered with veils, one in black and the other in red, very conspicuous.

The woman in red was crying. The interesting thing was that there seemed to be only two tears. Of course, they were Ouyang Zhiqing!

She was looking at the Hanging Mountain from afar, she was looking for the Zhixiang Pavilion outside the Jianchi Valley, she was looking for her past, or it could be said that Ouyang Zhiqing walked into those scattered memories. The past was wonderful, but the memories now were sad!

"Oh, how come there is no man who pities such a passionate and pitiful beauty? Or is your heart very cold and lonely?"

Ji Xuanyan, who was dressed in black, had a pair of beautiful eyes full of smiles beside her, but that smile really gave people a sense of horror. Moreover, she actually touched Ouyang Zhiqing with her hands, looked at Ouyang Zhiqing in circles, and finally set her gaze on those moist and beautiful eyes.

"You haven't come back once in twenty years. When we were outside the Sword City, you didn't show any emotion at all. I thought your heart was dead. If that's the case, the game won't be fun anymore!"

"How did you know?"

Ouyang Zhiqing's voice was very cold and indifferent, but she was shocked in her heart. She believed that Ji Xuanyan definitely did not bring her here for no reason, and after entering Jianying Holy City, the first stop was here!

This only means that Ji Xuanyan knows the significance of Zhixiang Pavilion to her, but Ouyang Zhiqing can't figure it out. This is a matter outside of Zhongzhou, and the key is her private matter. How could Ji Xuanyan, the head of the Ji family's Holy Hidden Feathers, know about it?

"Hahahaha... You still have the mood to ask me how I know? This heart is not cold at all! Don't always shut people out of your heart. If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me. I can really help you, including revenge!"

Ji Xuanyan in black's eyes and tone were full of teasing, and she gently poked Ouyang Zhiqing's heart with her hand.

"Senior, my injuries have healed. Now that I have entered the Sword Welcoming Holy City, it is time for us to separate!"

Ouyang Zhiqing was very afraid of Ji Xuanyan in her heart, because Ji Xuanyan knew her very well, but she knew nothing about Ji Xuanyan along the way.

Along the way, Ji Xuanyan always received various kinds of information, but Ouyang Zhiqing didn't know where the information came from, let alone what it was about!

"Oh, oh, oh, are you so quick to destroy the bridge? You just said that your heart is still warm, why are you turning your cold side towards me? I am not your enemy, and I can really help you get revenge!"

Ji Xuanyan in black turned behind Ouyang Zhiqing, and her slender jade finger was still pointing at the center of Ouyang Zhiqing's heart.

"Since you know the hatred in my heart, how can you not be my enemy? You are a member of the Ji family!"

Ouyang Zhiqing's eyes were still looking at Zhixiang Pavilion. Alas, her heart was still warm and she could not forget it. Whether she admitted it or not, during the time she lived in Zhixiang Pavilion, her face and heart were full of smiles.

“Hehehe, let me remind you, before you have fully used the power of inheritance, seeking revenge on me is just wishful thinking, but…”

Ji Xuanyan in black didn't finish her words because Ouyang Zhiqing dodged and looked at her in surprise. Her eyes were full of vigilance. It was obvious that Ji Xuanyan in black had revealed Ouyang Zhiqing's deepest secret!

"You, you, how do you know?"

Ji Xuanyan in black did not respond, but looked at her jade fingers, bent them, flicked them, then shook her head, looking at Ouyang Zhiqing strangely!

"That's it? You still want to seek revenge on the Ji family? Isn't this like hitting a rock with a small egg? Stay calm, stay calm, I know what's strange. Many people in the Ji family know about it, and Ji Qingli knows it too!"

Ouyang Zhiqing did not use any internal energy. After spending a few days together, she knew that even if she did, she could not beat Ji Xuanyan!

Ouyang Zhiqing's expression changed constantly, and finally she asked:

"But what?"

"Hahaha……"

Ji Xuanyan in black walked in front of Ouyang Zhiqing again, her beautiful eyes blinking.

"As for revenge, you have to proceed step by step, bit by bit. You can seek revenge on other members of the Ji family. Of course, you can also seek revenge on the Ouyang family first. You can also look for allies first. You can't do anything by yourself. You have to learn more from your clan leader, learn to endure humiliation and learn to wait for the right opportunity!"

Ji Xuanyan in black stretched out her finger again this time and touched Ouyang Zhiqing's forehead!

Ouyang Zhiqing did not hide, nor did she let down her guard, because her vigilance was really meaningless!

Ouyang Zhiqing was thinking about Ji Xuanyan's words. There was no doubt that Ji Xuanyan was right, and it was also what she could do and must do at the moment, but she really couldn't guess what Ji Xuanyan was going to do!

After a long time, Ouyang Zhiqing's expression changed. She looked at Ji Xuanyan in black with horror and said in shock:

"You, you mean, the leader of my tribe is still alive?"

Ouyang Zhiqing finally reacted, but her reaction seemed a little slow. This was not surprising, because she had never had such an idea in her mind, and this idea was also ridiculous!

"Xue Lingxi, she won't die so easily. She is your clan leader!"

Ji Xuanyan in black moved her fingers towards Ouyang Zhiqing's lips, even though there was a layer of gauze between them!

Ouyang Zhiqing frowned and did not respond, because she was unsure whether she should believe this news. If the Blood Spirit Rhinoceros Clan leader was still alive, how could there be no news for decades? And since the Ji family knew about it, how could they let the Blood Shadow Clan leader live?

Ouyang Zhiqing shifted her gaze to the eyes of Ji Xuanyan in black.

"Senior, why did you go to so much trouble to let me follow you? What is your purpose?"

Ouyang Zhiqing chose not to believe it, because the Blood Rhino tribe leader could not possibly still be alive. She had witnessed with her own eyes the death of the entire tribe in that catastrophe. She thought that this was a trick played by Ji Xuanyan because she didn't want her to leave.

Ji Xuanyan in black was stunned for a moment, retracted her finger, turned around and walked down the mountain, waving her hand behind her!

"Goodbye, silly girl, you must stay alive, you are still useful to me!"

Ouyang Zhiqing was stunned. Looking at Ji Xuanyan who was walking further and further away, she was really confused inside. She didn't know what Ji Xuanyan was doing!

Ouyang Zhiqing didn't expect Ji Xuanyan to leave so suddenly, so abruptly, and seemingly so ruthlessly. No matter what, Ouyang Zhiqing felt deep in her heart that she owed Ji Xuanyan a favor, a life-saving favor!

After the figure of Ji Xuanyan in black disappeared for a long time, Ouyang Zhiqing shifted her gaze and looked towards Zhixiang Pavilion in Xuankong Mountain.

"Hey, is my heart cold or hot? Is it true or false? Why does it always waver?"

The moment Ouyang Zhiqing walked into Jianying Holy City, the hatred in her heart was no longer so deep. Looking at the familiar streets, the friendly bluestone tiles and jade-carved buildings, every inch of land here had the footsteps of her childhood, and of course, happy and beautiful memories.

Ouyang Zhiqing herself didn't know whether the happiness of her childhood was real or fake. Perhaps it was the same as Shen Yichen's love mutton soup. That short period of time healed Ouyang Zhiqing's desire for revenge. Of course, it was only temporary!

Ouyang Zhiqing looked at the Hanging Mountain for a long, long time. Of course, she could not see Zhixiang Pavilion, and she had long known that Zhixiang Pavilion was destroyed by Ouyang Zhengxiong, but she really did not expect that there was no trace of it at all!

Ouyang Zhiqing could only smile bitterly in her heart, which perhaps meant that there was really no trace of her in Ouyang Zhengxiong's heart.

Ouyang Zhiqing certainly knew that her presence once filled Ouyang Zhengxiong's heart!

"Alas, things are not the same, people are not the same either. Time, oh time, why can you erase the love in a person's heart but not the hatred in it? Shouldn't love and hatred be born and die together?"

Ouyang Zhiqing left, leaving only these words!

Over the past few decades, the love in Ouyang Zhengxiong's heart disappeared, but the hatred in Ouyang Zhiqing's heart grew deeper and deeper. Perhaps it was because Ouyang Zhiqing had never fallen in love with a man!

"Silly girl, love will disappear because it is directed at one person. Hatred is hard to get rid of because hatred is not just directed at you alone, but at the whole clan. And hatred is not directed at one person, but at the whole clan!"

Ji Xuanyan in black floated down from the void, quietly watching Ouyang Zhiqing going away. Her brows seemed to be so serious for the first time. She is also a changeable person!

"Is the red wood donkey meat hotpot in the south of the city really that delicious? You haven't forgotten it either! Love and hatred, love and hatred. You have love in your heart, but no one to accept it. You have hatred in your heart, but no power to take revenge. You are such a pitiful person!"

After Ji Xuanyan in black finished speaking, the expression between her eyebrows slowly changed. There was an evil light in her eyes and a smile in her eyebrows. That smile really gave people a feeling of horror and ghostliness.

"Amitabha, it's been hundreds of years since we last met, but you are still as elegant as ever!"

Two more people appeared on the top of the nameless mountain. The one who spoke was the kind-faced General Jian Xuanxing, and standing behind him was Ouyang Hanjiang, holding the Holy Sword Xingxuan in his hand.

Ji Xuanyan in black turned around and smiled charmingly.

"Your people are almost dead, but your heart is not dull. You still know that I am here for you!"

Ji Xuanyan in black actually knows General Jian Xuanxing, and seems to be very familiar with him!

"Amitabha, the calamity destined by fate cannot be avoided!"

Jian Xuanxing, with a kind face, opened his eyes. Although he was a monk, he still couldn't forget the woman in front of him.

Ji Xuanyan is so beautiful that no one could forget her after seeing her face.

"Have you forgotten your promise, or does the Ouyang family want to go back on its word?"

Ji Xuanyan in black certainly didn't care about that look, or perhaps she had seen too many looks from men in her life.

General Jian Xuanxing, who had a kind face, changed his expression upon hearing this and said in surprise:

"You, you know about the Hanging Mountain?"

Ji Xuanyan in black smiled slightly and said softly:

"Are you talking about five hundred years ago, or a few days ago? You thought of using the Holy Sword Fengyin to replace the Holy Sword Xingxuan to fulfill the agreement!"

Ji Xuanyan's expression slowly calmed down again, and she said calmly:

"Hey, it seems that Ji Xuanfeng's prestige is really gone. Have people in this world really forgotten it? But you shouldn't forget it! Ji Xuanfeng deliberately spared your life with his sword!"

General Jian Xuanxing's expression returned to normal. After a long while, he responded:

"That person didn't make it past the last level of Hanging Mountain, so I'm not in breach of contract!"

"Everyone has selfish desires. How long can you keep the key to the bottom of the Sword Pond Valley? Let me remind you that the envoy from outside the region is coming!"

After Ji Xuanyan in black finished speaking, there was a flash of light and she disappeared, but General Jian Xuanxing's expression changed again, one of surprise, worry, and confusion!

After a long time,

"Let's go to Ouyang Villa!"

Peace returned to the top of the nameless mountain.

After a while, Ji Xuanyan in black came back again!

"Ji Xuanfeng, Ji Xuanfeng, you intentionally left a way out for the Ouyang family back then, but unfortunately, they didn't believe you. But I'm really curious, how did you know that after you, someone would break into Xuankong Mountain?"

After Ji Xuanyan in black finished speaking, her figure disappeared out of thin air. This time she really left!
