The sky was spinning and the earth was spun. The space was completely shattered, like a mirror that fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, flying in all directions. Lu Zhaozhao felt that she was also hit hard along with this space. The pulling force from all directions tore her apart, as if she was being tortured.

A white light flashed, and darkness fell again. In the blink of an eye, flying yellow dust blurred my vision.

"hiss."

Lu Zhaozhao slowly sat up, rubbed his sore shoulders, and grimaced in pain.

She sat on the ground and relaxed for a while before her vision became clear again.

She looked around; the charred walls and age-worn sculptures all revealed the current scene.

Dust flew up, taking shape under a beam of light coming through the hole in the wall, and hitting a spot on the ground not far from her.

"I was not born to compete for power, and I am too lazy to build a golden tower in the capital."

Lu Zhaozhao read out loud the two lines of poetry that seemed to have been hastily written with a sword. The strokes were sharp and the momentum was like a rainbow. If the immortals of Wenyuan Academy saw it, they would probably praise it repeatedly.

However, this poem came from Qi Sha. Lu Zhaozhao couldn't help biting her lower lip, lowering her eyes and thinking deeply why Wei Zhanjie only left this sentence.

Disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, unceremonious, unwise, and untrustworthy, what kind of person is he referring to? Or is it all seven?

With doubts, Lu Zhaozhao stood up unsteadily.

She remembered that the time agreed upon with her senior brother was two years. Now that the two-year period had passed, her senior brother came to find her, which allowed her to escape.

However, when I looked around, I didn’t see my senior brother.

The wooden door was ajar, and a faint smell of blood came from outside.

Lu Zhaozhao held the hilt of the sword and walked towards the door.

"Squeak."

The wooden door was gently pushed open, and she understood the origin of the bloody smell.

There was a huge anaconda lying on the ground. It was the monster that chased her here and forced her to enter the tower, causing her to fall into danger.

At this moment, it fell quietly to the ground, its terrifying eyes closed, and its abdomen was cut by a sharp blade, leaving a big hole and blood gushing out.

This is... someone was killed?

Lu Zhaozhao immediately thought of Ying Che. He looked up and saw a white figure in front of the anaconda's corpse.

The man's white clothes fluttered, the sharp sword in his hand was still dripping with blood, and the murderous aura had not yet subsided.

Lu Zhaozhao immediately smiled and ran towards the figure, shouting, "Senior Brother!"

The figure in the distance paused, turned around, and Lu Zhaozhao smiled with her eyes curved while holding up her skirt.

She hadn't seen her senior brother for a long time, so she was naturally happy. Moreover, if it weren't for the magic weapons given by her senior brother, she didn't know how many times she would have died. Therefore, her heart was full of gratitude.

After not seeing each other for two years, Lu Zhaozhao felt that her senior brother had become colder and more distant. Before, whenever she called out, he would respond gently. But today, he just stood there, his aura of coldness mirroring that of his master.

Lu Zhaozhao guessed secretly that he had been assimilated by his master in the past two years, and he made up his mind to bring his senior brother back to the right path and turn him into the gentle and elegant senior brother again.

Thinking of this, her smile became even more intense, but in the next moment, after seeing the face of the person in front of her clearly, the smile completely froze on her face.

"Teacher, Master?!"

Without time to control her expression, Lu Zhaozhao slammed on the brakes and stopped. Her heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed so quickly that her face felt a little tense.

"Master, why are you here? But did Senior Brother tell you anything?"

Lu Zhaozhao lowered his head and looked at Yun Xian's cold face in front of him. He couldn't help swallowing and asked cautiously.

Yun Xian stared at her for a long time, and her eyes fell on Lu Zhaozhao. She felt like she was in an ice cellar.

Just when she was wondering whether to kneel down and confess her guilt, Yun Xian finally spoke.

"You secretly entered the forbidden area and asked your senior brother to cover it up for you. Zhao Zhao, do you admit your crime?"

It was clearly a question, but he said it as if he was directly convicting someone.

Lu Zhaozhao was so scared that her legs bent and her knees hit the ground heavily with a dull sound. Yun Xian frowned at the sight and looked even more formidable.

Lu Zhaozhao knew he had made a mistake, and he was well aware that as long as he admitted his mistake quickly, he would not be able to catch up with him. He immediately spoke, stumbling over his words, "Disciple knows he was wrong. I was naughty for a moment and ignored the advice and trespassed into the forbidden area. This matter has nothing to do with you, Senior Brother. It is entirely my fault. Master, please punish me severely!"

The words were sincere and heartfelt, and each one pierced Lu Zhaozhao's heart, making her heart surge. The last sentence was so loud and clear that it reached her dantian.

Yun Xian didn't seem to expect her action. He thought Lu Zhaozhao would explain. After all, everyone makes mistakes. For example, Nian Zhi would always explain with red eyes and then admit her mistakes obediently.

However, this disciple whom he had not seen for a long time seemed a little different. She admitted her mistakes quickly, but she spoke with confidence, as if she had not done anything wrong.

Yun Xian was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Lu Zhaozhao quietly glanced at Yun Xian. Seeing that his expression had eased slightly, he thought that he had admitted his mistake in time. He encouraged himself in his heart and continued, "I know that my sins are serious. Master, please do not show mercy!"

Yun Xian originally thought that she was a girl and was afraid of scaring her, so he just gave her a light punishment. However, Lu Zhaozhao's series of punches made him at a loss.

But it wasn't his fault. Yun Xian had been practicing since childhood, a quiet and taciturn person. Because of his exceptional talent, he had few peers to partner with. His elders were often strict, and now, in a high position, he couldn't show his emotions, so he was usually very serious.

That is why, even though she has a very beautiful appearance, no one dares to approach her.

His disciples, on the other hand, were known for their versatility and quick wit, so he never had to worry about them. Although Lu Zhaozhao had been a bit spoiled as a child, he was also a man of courtesy and obedience. Therefore, before meeting Nian Zhi, he had never known girls could cry so much, which often left him at a loss.

Yun Xian didn't know how to start the conversation after not caring for her for so many years. Just as he was thinking about the right words, Ying Che arrived and came to the rescue.

Seeing Lu Zhaozhao kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, and Master looking uneasy, Ying Che assumed that Master was angry, so he stepped forward to excuse her, saying, "This matter is the fault of this disciple. Not only did I fail to do my duty to advise Junior Sister, but I actually helped her cover up. I will take Junior Sister to the Discipline Hall to receive my punishment. Master, please calm down."

Yun Xian turned around and looked at his most proud eldest disciple, breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in agreement, left a sentence "Take good care of your junior sister", and turned to leave.

After he left, Ying Che accepted the gift and extended his hand towards Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao didn't hesitate and helped him up. With his help, he stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and gave him a thumbs up.

Ying Che first grabbed her and scanned her body. After seeing that she had no external injuries, he asked, "Are you injured? Are you in danger?"

Seeing his anxious look, Lu Zhaozhao quickly responded, "No, no, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you."

After saying that, he jumped to prove that he was really fine.

Ying Che finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Let's go out first."

Lu Zhaozhao responded obediently and let Ying Che pull her hand and walk out.

One tall and one short, their figures are reflected on the ground by the sun, overlapping with the scenes of their youth, as if nothing has changed and the years remain the same.
