The group flew towards the city closest to Lingshan, and Bai Yichen still flew beside Xue Yao.

Whenever Xueyao saw Bai Yichen, she would think of the young man in white. Sometimes, she even despised herself for being so unrealistic.

She was still clear about Bai Yichen's thoughts. He was very outstanding, but she always maintained a faint friendship towards him.

She knew Bai Yichen's feelings, but there seemed to be an insurmountable gap in her heart.

But for some reason, even though she knew she wouldn't have any feelings for him, he always stayed by her side and she didn't reject him.

Sometimes she thought, how great it would be if he were the young man in white.

Ever since this thought flashed through her mind, Xue Yao began to feel uneasy. She knew that this was not unfair to Bai Yichen, but a desire deep in her heart.

What she longed for was the young man in white who appeared when she was most helpless and gave her warmth and strength. That mysterious figure who left a deep mark on her heart seemed to be a call from the depths of her soul.

It was strange to say, she had never spoken to him, never made eye contact, and she had even been the one who saved him, but she could not forget that figure. Whenever the night was quiet, she would always think of the young man in white, as if a curse had been embedded in her life.

Xueyao knew that her longing for the young man in white was perhaps just an illusion, but she couldn't control her heart. She longed to see him again, even if it was just a glance from afar, it would be enough to satisfy her.

However, in reality, Bai Yichen, although equally outstanding, could never completely fill the void in her heart. She knew that this might be an obsession, but she could not let it go easily.

"Xueyao, what are you thinking about?" Bai Yichen's voice interrupted her thoughts. Noticing her strangeness, Bai Yichen asked with concern.

Xue Yao came back to her senses and smiled slightly, hiding her inner fluctuations. "Nothing, just thinking about something."

Bai Yichen's eyes flashed with concern. He knew that Xueyao had something on her mind, but he also knew that she didn't want to talk about it, so he stopped asking. He knew that Xueyao had her own secrets in her heart, and he was willing to give her enough space to deal with it.

At the same time, he also felt a little guilty. There were some things he had to do, and he didn't know what Xueyao would think when the time came. Would she be very angry?

During the flight, Xueyao couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She remembered the vows she had made and the people who had left a deep mark in her life.

Bai Yichen looked at Xue Yao from time to time, and he didn't even realize how gentle his eyes were.

His eyes were full of concern. "When we get to the town, let's find a place to stay first, and then ask for news."

Xue Yao nodded. She knew that Bai Yichen could always give her a sense of security, but deep in her heart, there was always an unspeakable loneliness.

The group finally arrived at a nearby city. "Cloud City" was inscribed on the city gate. The city was bustling with activity. Xue Yao and her group blended in with the crowd and began to explore the city.

Xueyao and Bai Yichen walked in front, while Renhu, Yun Duoduo, Qingyi, Xiaolin'er and others followed behind. Xueyao cleverly hid the Thunder Scale Beast, Lingfeng and Yueying in her sleeves to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Let's find an inn first," Xue Yao suggested, "We can have a good rest there and get some information."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they followed Xueyao into an inn called "Xiankelai", which looked quite clean. The innkeeper greeted them warmly and arranged several rooms for them.

"Okay, let's take a break first," Xueyao said, "we'll go out for a walk later."

These words were said in front of the innkeeper and several waiters.

Everyone nodded and went into their respective rooms.

Xueyao, Yunduoduo, and Suxin shared a suite. Entering the room was a double room, and further in, a single room. The room was quite spacious. Thunderscale Beast, Lingfeng, and Yueying emerged from their sleeves and surveyed their surroundings curiously.

"You three, don't cause me any trouble." Xue Yao warned softly.

The Thunder Scale Beast proudly swung its tail, as if to say, "Don't worry, we are the best."

Lingfeng and Yueying jumped happily around the room, seeming to be full of curiosity about this new environment.

They were all used to living in the mountains, and they were a little uncomfortable at first when they suddenly moved into a human room. However, they were very adaptable and quickly adapted to this new life and started playing in the room.

Xue Yao looked at their reactions and couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart.

In fact, the rooms in the inn are just a place to stay. When they really want to rest, Xueyao and the others will go to the Yaolin Secret Garden.

There, they all have their own yard.

So, no matter where they go, as long as the place is safe, they don't care about the size of the room. Even if several people share a room, it doesn't matter.

After the three little ones had played wildly for a while, Xueyao threw them into the secret garden, where they were allowed to run wild.

But she herself sat down on the chair in front of the window, looking at the scene outside the inn, her thoughts flying freely.

At this moment, Bai Yichen's voice sounded in her mind, "Xueyao, room, are you okay?"

Xue Yao was stunned for a moment, then responded, "I'm fine, you should get some rest!"

When Bai Yichen heard her say this, he knew that she didn't want to say more, so he replied with an "OK" and said nothing more.

Bai Yichen, as soon as his handsome face appeared in Xue Yao's mind, the young man in white appeared in Xue Yao's thoughts without any suspense.

It seemed that in her heart, the young man in white and Bai Yichen were always intertwined and difficult to separate.

Xueyao sighed softly. She knew she was troubled, but at the moment she preferred to enjoy this moment of peace. Outside the window, the streets were bustling with people, their cries of hawking and laughter intertwined, creating a lively scene.

She stood up, walked to the window, and gently opened it, letting the breeze, carrying the hustle and bustle outside, blow into the room. Xueyao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the vitality of this city.

Suddenly, a thought that she couldn't believe flashed through her mind imperceptibly, but she still caught it.

He, could it be him?

Once some thoughts pop up, they can no longer be suppressed and cannot be pushed back even if you want to.

Xue Yao's heart beat faster. She tried to calm herself down and carefully recalled every detail of the young man in white.

She remembered his appearance; even with his eyes closed, he couldn't hide his handsomeness and fierce aura. She couldn't sense his cultivation at the time, but it must have been very high. And he left without saying goodbye...

Hong Feng'er, the Hong Feng'er of that year, was probably let go by him.

But why did he do this? Why?
