Xiandao Linglong

Ye Qi couldn't help but wonder, and under everyone's astonished gaze, he pushed open the door and ran in. He squatted beside the bed, looked at her questioningly, and asked, "Who are you?"

Luo Yanxin forced her blurry eyes open and said weakly, "Have you forgotten that we first met in Luohuajian seven years ago?"

The girl's words completely broke down the last line of defense in Ye Qi's heart, which was full of doubts. A memory scene from seven years ago instantly emerged in his mind!

-

That day, at the first light of dawn, the mountains woke up in the baptism of the morning light, quiet and magnificent. The green mountains were like dark green, one after another, and the mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, like a dream, giving people a feeling of transcending the world.

As you walk deeper into the mountains and waters, you'll find a breathtaking mountain stream, seemingly created by nature. Peach blossoms are constantly falling from the mountaintops on both sides, earning this place the name "Falling Flower Stream" (落花川).

I was very young at that time and didn't understand that the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are. When I went to Luohuajian with my master, I was playful and strayed into the peach blossom forest.

The falling flowers and leaves there were even denser than those in the mountain stream. I lost my way while walking, and finally, by accident, I saw a "fairy" who had fallen to the earth!

At that time, I looked at the young and immature girl in front of me, and out of curiosity, I broke into the mysterious formation.

The girl who was originally sitting cross-legged in the flowers with her eyes closed became so angry because of her sudden intrusion that the balance of qi was disrupted, and she spat out a mouthful of blood!

Seeing the girl holding her head with her hands and screaming, he realized that he had caused a big disaster.

Later, because the energy here was in chaos and the petals were dancing wildly in the air, the master was able to find the location.

However, when the master arrived, the girl was already unconscious and no matter how the master cast spells to treat her, she had no response!

Sensing the girl's vitality constantly draining away, the master could no longer remain calm and finally made up his mind to choose a path of exchanging his own life for hers.

Seeing his master pay with his life for the disaster caused by his momentary playfulness, the young Ye Qi felt fear and anxiety for the first time!

"Master! Is it worth it to exchange your life for hers?"

Yuexi glanced at the young Ye Qi, her eyes full of doting, without anger or rebuke, and replied gently as usual: "It's worth it!"

Looking at the master and the girl sitting cross-legged with their palms facing each other, as time passed, the master's face gradually became pale and haggard.

But the girl began to have the strength to frown, and when she regained consciousness she gradually felt the pain!

Ye Qi felt very guilty. If he hadn't been so playful and mischievous that he broke into the peach blossom forest and wanted to get close to the mysterious girl out of curiosity, his master wouldn't have died here today!

In this way, Ye Qi sat in the peach blossom forest for three days and three nights, and finally saw the girl wake up.

But for some reason, her expression gave people an extremely cold feeling, but when she saw Yuexi's body, her heart was still touched, and a tear fell from her eye.

The girl wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and her bright big eyes stared at the tears on her fingers in confusion, as if wondering why she was crying!

Ye Qi looked at the girl's strange expression and couldn't help asking, "You! Are you crying?"

"Crying? What does it mean to cry?"

"Crying is when people are sad and heartbroken, tears come out of their eyes. That's what's on your finger!"

The girl looked at Yuexi, who had lost her life on the ground, with a dazed expression as if she didn't care about anything in the world. She slowly stood up and walked over.

He reached out and gently brushed the petals off her face, then called out softly with an expressionless and indifferent face, "Mother!"

"She is... your mother? Then what is your name?"

Ye Qi widened his eyes with an incredible look. It was the first time in so many years that he heard that his master actually had a daughter.

And she is so elegant and otherworldly, as cold and indifferent as a fairy from heaven who has fallen to earth!

The girl glanced at Ye Qi, who was filled with surprise, and did not answer his first question. Instead, she slowly said, "Yue Mengyi!"

After hearing the girl's answer, Ye Qi muttered to himself, "Yue Mengyi? What a nice name!"

Then he turned around and knelt in front of his master, saying, "Don't worry, Master! I will, like you, use my life to protect Sister Mengyi for the rest of her life!"

-

That night, after burying their master's body, the two men sat under the peach tree, looking up at the bright moon in the sky in a daze.

One was indifferent to feelings, the other didn't know how to start, and the two of them enjoyed the tranquility of the night in silence!

"Ye Qi...Brother..."

The girl spoke first, her tone still cold and stiff, but the word "brother" made Ye Qi so happy that he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Ye Qi reached out and rubbed Yue Mengyi's head, and responded: "Don't worry! Brother will protect you in the future!"

"No, I want to say, get out of here!"

"Why? Sister Mengyi, are you still resentful of me? I don't dare to hope that you can forgive me, but I also hope that you can give me a chance to make amends!"

Yue Mengyi looked at Ye Qi, who was pleading, but her heart was as calm as still water. She continued, "They are coming!"

Ye Qi was completely confused. He scratched his head and asked doubtfully, "Who's here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black mist floated over at an extremely fast speed, and the Luohua Gorge was instantly filled with a strong demonic aura.

As the fog approached, a figure emerged from the fog. The mysterious man muttered to himself, "Why are they two little kids?"

Ye Qi drew out the Yixi sword that stood in front of his master's grave, stood in front of Yue Mengyi, and pointed the sword at the mysterious man in front of him.

But his trembling arms still revealed his fear.

"Could this be the legendary Yixi Sword? I never thought I'd come across such a treasure today!"

The mysterious man looked at the sword in Ye Qi's hand and couldn't help laughing! Then his face darkened, and he spread his wings behind him and rushed towards Ye Qi.

But just when Ye Qi's legs were going weak with fear, Yue Mengyi's small and delicate hands reached out from the void, and a white and purple jade bow appeared in her hands.

Her slender fingers placed on the strings and pulled hard. An illusory colorful arrow of light appeared out of thin air. As her fingers loosened, the illusory arrow pierced through the mysterious man's body at an extremely fast speed and turned into a ball of evil mist and disappeared in an instant.

Seeing the crisis resolved, Ye Qi felt a little scared, but then he began to blame himself for not being able to protect Yue Mengyi.

Ever since he came here, this peaceful mountain stream has never been as quiet as usual.

"Is all this because of me?"

Seeing Ye Qi's self-blaming question, Yue Mengyi did not answer. She put away her longbow, leaned against the peach tree, and closed her eyes quietly.

Ye Qi looked at the quiet girl, reached out to help her clean the petals that fell on her hair, then took his master's Yixi sword and left.

It’s not that he is greedy for this sword, but for some reason, the Yixi Sword is very repulsive to Yue Mengyi, so he has to take it away!

Then he left Luohuajian, looking back every few steps!

The girl next to him saw that Ye Qi looked a little gloomy, so she cautiously asked, "Brother Ye Qi, do you remember all this?"
