Senior brothers, please stop abusing me. I'm going to change my ways to be merciless.

Su Muqing began to concentrate on teaching his junior sister how to practice sword and fly the sword, day after day.

The junior sister is lively, cheerful, and considerate. Although she is a little stupid, she has a good personality and everyone likes her.

Su Muqing also likes it, but it is just pure appreciation.

In contrast, Ari's personality is somewhat boring.

Gradually, A'li appeared less and less frequently, and his junior sister occupied most of his life.

Su Muqing rarely thought about the days in Taoyuan anymore. The laughter of his junior sister filled his world.

Whenever he finally got together with A'li, the junior sister would always pop out from the corner and take him away from A'li for various reasons.

Su Muqing vaguely felt that something was not right, but as soon as his junior sister started to act coquettishly, he was seduced by her again as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.

But every time he and his junior sister left, he would habitually look back.

Then you can see Ari standing there quietly looking at him.

At this time he would feel relieved in his heart.

He silently told himself that he would accompany his junior sister first this time, and spend more time with A-Li next time.

No matter how far he went or how many times he looked back, A'li was always behind him, and Su Muqing was relieved about this.

There is no time in the fairy mountains.

Time flies like an arrow as time passes by.

Su Muqing, however, was more troubled than before.

It started because A'li accidentally injured the junior sister during a competition. He knew that swords have no eyes and accidental injuries during competitions were very common, but he still couldn't help but scold A'li.

A Li looked at him sadly.

Then he regretted it.

But he still didn't apologize or bow his head.

So this happened the first time, the second time, the third time... Many times, he became dissatisfied with A'li because of his junior sister or other things.

"Ari, your swordsmanship may seem fancy, but it's actually full of flaws. The angle of your wrist rotation is too far off, how can you unleash your true power? Also, your steps aren't light enough. If you were facing an enemy, they would have found your flaw and killed you long ago."

"Big Brother, I didn't perform well because I practiced sword for too long and was too tired..."

"If you're wrong, you're wrong. Don't make excuses. If you're facing a real enemy, even the smallest mistake can cost you your life! Keep practicing, and don't make excuses for being lazy!"

In the same situation, facing his junior sister, he said tolerantly: "It's okay, your sword skills are very beautiful, and the move you just made was very unique and very good."

"You're still learning, so mistakes are normal. Failure is the mother of success. Also, remember to balance work and rest. Blindly practicing will not lead to the realization of pure and supreme sword intent."

In addition to matters of cultivation, he was also picky about A-Li in daily life.

He thought her steps were too long and unladylike. When she took smaller steps, he thought she walked too slowly.

She loves sweets, but he says only children like sweet things. When she gave up sweets, he says she's picky and asks when she developed this bad habit of being a picky eater.

In short, no matter what she did, he could find fault with it, and he became more and more impatient with her.

It was just another ordinary day. He sat in A'li's cave for a while but couldn't stay any longer.

I don't know when it started, but they have less and less to say to each other, and now there is only unbearable silence.

He frequently glanced outside the cave, as if expecting someone to rescue him.

It's strange, because in the past, the junior sister would always appear at this time.

"Even if we just sat there without talking, we would still enjoy each other. Senior Brother, how did we become like this?"

Ali sighed.

He looked at the woman's resentful eyes and became more and more annoyed.

"Big Brother, do you still remember Taoyuan?"

Hearing this place name, Su Muqing was in a trance.

He was stunned.

Hundreds of years passed in the fairy mountains, but only more than ten years in Peach Blossom Land. That period of time has become a very distant and almost forgotten past.

He responded dryly, "I remember."

Ah Li said: "Do you still remember that you said that if one day I wanted to go back to Taoyuan, you would take me back without hesitation."

Su Muqing nodded hesitantly.

"Big Brother, I want to go back to Taoyuan right now." The woman held his hand and asked softly, "Are you willing to go back with me?"

Su Muqing frowned.

He was already the master of the Immortal Mountain, and A-Li was his Taoist companion and the Sect Master's wife. Giving up everything and returning to the mortal world, what a joke!

"What is there in Taoyuan that makes you insist on going back?" Su Muqing asked back with an unhappy tone.

A'li withdrew his hand and remained silent.

"Okay, don't think too much. I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Su Muqing walked out of the cave and saw his junior sister as he wished.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his heart, as if a hand was tightly grasping his heart.

Su Muqing turned around hurriedly and found that there was no one behind him.

Ali is missing!

"Ali?"

"What A'li?" The little sister smiled sweetly, jumped to his side, and looked inside in confusion.

Su Muqing ignored her and walked back into the cave, only to find that Fan Li's breath was gone as well.

He called out Fan Li's name in panic.

The younger sister looked frightened and said, "Big Brother, who are you looking for?"

Su Muqing grabbed the little junior sister's shoulders and said anxiously, "Help me find your senior sister. She must be angry with me and is hiding from me."

Unexpectedly, the junior sister's next words made Su Muqing feel like he was falling into an ice cave.

"Big Brother, you are confused. When have I ever had a senior sister?"

"Big Brother, I was just about to ask, why are you sitting here talking to the air?"

The junior sister looked at him worriedly and raised her hand to touch his forehead.

"Elder brother, are you okay?"

Su Muqing reacted violently, "What nonsense are you talking about! A'li is a living person. She has lived with us for hundreds of years. How could you not recognize her?"

The younger sister was still confused and said aggrievedly, "Big Brother, who is Ah Li?"

Su Muqing growled, "She is my Taoist partner, your senior sister!"

The younger sister was incredulous and angrily said, "Big Brother! Are you crazy? I am your Taoist partner!"

Su Muqing stepped back a few steps, "Impossible, my Taoist partner is A Li, how could it be you?!"

"Get out of the way! I want to find my A-ri!"

Su Muqing pushed his junior sister away, rushed out, and asked everyone he met if they had seen Fan Li.

But everyone's reaction was exactly the same as that of the junior sister.

No one remembered Fan Li's existence, no one could understand his hysteria, and everyone looked at him in horror.

Su Muqing searched the entire fairy mountain but couldn't find any trace of Fan Li. He was almost going crazy.

It was as if Fan Li had really disappeared from his world.

"Oh right, Taoyuan!"

"Ari must have gone back to Taoyuan!"

Su Muqing seemed to have discovered some treasure, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he rushed out of the fairy mountain regardless of anything.

But when he reached the mountain gate, he suddenly lost his way.

He forgot the way he came.

He doesn't remember where Taoyuan is.

He could never find his A-Li again.

Su Muqing knelt on the ground and broke down crying, muttering: "Ali, don't leave me. I know I was wrong..."

It was at this time that he recalled every detail of his time in Taoyuan, but it was too late.

At this moment, a beam of blue light fell in front of him.

Su Muqing raised his head in a daze and saw the immortal who had brought them to the fairy mountain.

The immortal was dressed in aqua blue clothes, with an aloof temperament and an air that kept strangers away.

The immortal's face was still blurry, as if covered by a fog.

For some reason, Su Muqing vaguely felt that something had changed in the immortal.

As for what the change was, he couldn't say and didn't think much about it.

Seeing the immortal appear, Su Muqing wondered if God was helping him, and that the immortal would definitely remember the way back to Taoyuan!

So Su Muqing knelt over and looked up at the immortal as if he had grabbed the last straw.

"Master, please take me back to Taoyuan!"

The immortal said indifferently: "Where is the Peach Blossom Spring?"

Su Muqing said anxiously: "It's the paradise where A'li and I once lived! You've been there too!"

The immortal chuckled, and Su Muqing looked at her in confusion.

The immortal leaned forward slightly, pinched his chin, and opened his red lips slightly: "Taoyuan does not exist. It is a place you imagined to escape reality."

Su Muqing opened his eyes wide, his face pale as if his heart had suffered a great blow.

"Impossible! I came from Taoyuan, how could it be fake?"

"You're lying! You're lying to me!"

The immortal stood up and said ruthlessly: "Not only is the Peach Blossom Spring fake, but everything you are experiencing now is fake. This place is just an illusory dream."

Su Muqing simply couldn't listen. His facial features gradually became distorted, his eyes were red, and he roared: "Did you hide A Li? Did you?!"

The immortal shook his head slowly.

"Su Muqing, please see clearly who I am."
