The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Xuzhi raised his hand slightly, signaling Wutong that he could leave. His eyes never left the book in his hand for even a second, as if there were endless mysteries waiting for him to explore.

"I'll take my leave!"

Wutong bowed respectfully, then turned and left, wiping away the tears dripping from the corners of his eyes and swallowing the bitterness.

At this moment, Hua Ye, who was frantically devouring various delicacies in his dream, was suddenly awakened by a gurgling sound.

It turned out that it was her stomach, which was already so hungry that it was sticking to her back, that was protesting!

She struggled to open her hazy eyes and tried to lift her legs that felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, but as soon as she moved, she couldn't help but moan, "Oh my waist!"

Looking out the open door, a breathtaking sight unfolded before my eyes.

The lush vegetation, colorful flowers and cheerfully flowing streams create a picture full of vitality and vigor.

This is in stark contrast to the desolate and barren land at the foot of the mountain.

Hua Ye slowly sat up, picked up a pure white robe beside the bed, casually put it on, and then slowly walked towards the terrace.

The sun shone on her, warm and comfortable, and the breeze gently brushed her cheeks, bringing a hint of fresh air. She took a deep breath, feeling all this beauty.

The miserable scene of the refugee camp outside Qicheng kept flashing through her mind, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Her anxiety made her unable to wait to get dressed and take immediate action to help those poor people.

However, time was too tight for her to think for even a second, or even savor this unique and magnificent scene.

She hurriedly began to search around this spacious, bright, and magnificent palace, calling out anxiously: "Master..." "Master Xu..."

After just two calls, as if by telepathy, Master Xu appeared before her quietly like a ghost, and quickly reached out to support her as she was shaking and almost falling due to overwork.

It turned out that Hua Ye, in a panic, was tripped by the high threshold and his right foot accidentally hit the hard ground.

Hua Ye ignored the tingling sensation in his feet, raised his head anxiously, looked eagerly at Master Xuzhi in front of him, and asked.

"Master, what time is it now?"

Master Xuzhi smiled slightly, reached out his hand and gently stroked her long, shiny black hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall, then responded softly.

"In my opinion, it should be almost noon now. Why, you must be hungry, right?"

After hearing what his master said, Hua Ye did not make any response, but stared at the other party closely, with an expression of determination and doubt in his eyes.

She bit her lip, as if trying to suppress her inner uneasiness, but finally couldn't help but ask.

"Master, have you forgotten what you promised me? The people of Qicheng are still eagerly awaiting this life-saving rain!"

Faced with such aggressive questioning from his apprentice, Master Xuzhi remained unusually calm and composed.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a gentle and doting smile, and he comforted her.

"Don't worry, don't worry. After we finish our meal, we can just take the little koi with us and then make her cry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Ye's mind suddenly emerged with the image of the little koi crying, with tears flowing out like a spring. The stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground at this moment.

"No wonder you were willing to come to Canglang Mountain. It turns out you were after that little koi! A powerful magical power like summoning wind and rain would surely consume a huge amount of immortal energy, right? That's why it can't be easily used, right?"

She chattered on and on as if she had discovered a new continent, her eyes flashing with intense curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

"Hmm...that's about it. The internal injuries I suffered haven't fully healed yet, and I'm still recovering. Therefore, it's best to avoid using large-area celestial arts as much as possible, so as not to aggravate the injuries and shake my foundation."

Facing her rapid-fire questions, Xuzhi was very patient and explained in a slow and steady tone, obviously trying his best to satisfy her curious mind.

"Well then! In that case, if you can avoid using the magic of summoning wind and rain, do so. After all, wouldn't it be foolish to leave such resources unused? Master, your most important task now is to rest and recuperate."

Hearing this, Hua Ye's expression instantly turned flattering. She covered her stomach, winked and said, "Oh, I suddenly feel so hungry!"

As if hearing Hua Ye's inner cry, Wutong led Qingcheng and Junlan into the room, both holding a lot of delicious food in their hands.

She carefully placed the food on the dining table in the outer hall and prepared to leave quietly.
