The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

Hu Xingtong opened his eyes, and the surroundings seemed to be plunged into darkness. It was so dark that he couldn't see his hand in front of him, and he had no idea where he was.

"Sihe?" The surroundings were empty, and his voice seemed to be circulating in the endless space, with only echoes coming back.

"Where... is this?" Hu Xingtong murmured. He wanted to stand up, but he felt a little tired. He couldn't see his body and didn't know what his current condition was. He only knew that he felt tired and didn't feel any pain at all.

I stood up and tried to walk forward. It didn't seem to hurt at all.

Looking around, it seemed that there was nothing but darkness around here. I couldn't see the road or anything. If I stayed in this environment for a long time, I would definitely go crazy.

As Hu Xingtong thought about this, he quickened his pace in exploring this place. There seemed to be some light and sounds ahead.

It was just a little noisy and she couldn't hear clearly.

Just as she was about to take that step and leave this dark space, an ethereal female voice came from behind her.

"Have you thought it through? In your current mental state, you won't live long if you go back. You'll just be struggling to survive. It's better for you to stay here."

Hu Xingtong listened and thought about it, and felt that what the man said made sense. Looking at the light in front of him, he became more hesitant.

His Dao heart and foundation were completely shattered, and Qing Huan's sword was also broken. It seemed that he had no possibility of practicing cultivation. If he went back, he probably wouldn't be able to break through any dimension, and there should be no hope of returning home. Going back would only drag everyone down, and Chen Wu might even leave because of this.

Hu Xingtong lowered his head, his brows drooping, his mood turned from gloomy to cloudy, and he looked a little depressed.

"Forget it, there's no point in going back." Finally, he made a decision, turned around, and sat on the ground. As he was thinking, he lay on his back, looking at the darkness in front of him. He didn't know what he was looking at, but just stared at one place in a daze.

"Are you really not going back?" the female voice asked again, and Hu Xingtong felt a little amused.

"It was you who asked me whether I wanted to go back. Now that I have made up my mind, you ask me if I am sure. So, do you want me to go back or not?" Hu Xingtong sneered and did not feel the slightest bit of favor towards the female voice that appeared out of nowhere.

"I asked right. I want you to go back, but I don't want you to go back like this." The girl's voice seemed much closer, as if she was right next to him.

Hu Xingtong looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure in front of him. In the dim light, he could vaguely see the back of a silver-haired figure. She was slender and graceful, and these words could be used to describe her.

"You talk as if you know who I am and where I'm going." Hu Xingtong sat up and looked at the man, wanting to see how he would answer him.

The man just smiled, raised his arm, and waved to eliminate the light behind Hu Xingtong. At this moment, the entire space fell into endless darkness.

The next moment, the surrounding light rose, and the stars kept twinkling, illuminating the surrounding environment in just a blink of an eye. At this time, Hu Xingtong realized that this place was the place of time gap where he had been before.

Looking at the place in front of me, a girl with silver hair and golden eyes was standing there. She was wearing a white Tang suit that was simple and elegant, and there was an indescribable sense of sacredness.

Such a clean and pure feeling.

Hu Xingtong sighed in his heart, and looked at the girl with a hint of surprise and yearning.

"I know who you are, where you come from, and where you should go better than you do yourself. I just hope that before you go, you can understand what you want and live happily." The girl's words had hidden meaning, and there was pity and sympathy in her eyes as she looked at Hu Xingtong.

Hu Xingtong never thought that he would see such a strange look in the eyes of a stranger one day.

"So, you come to guide me?" Hu Xingtong asked, getting up from the ground. When she stood up, there was still a big gap between her and the girl. She didn't know what this person ate to grow up. She was so tall, looking almost 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall.

The girl nodded, and her movements and expressions were inexplicably tickling and a little too pretty.

"Then who are you?" Hu Xingtong asked again.

The girl obviously didn't intend to answer her. She smiled, took a step closer, and said with her red lips moving, "You don't need to know who I am right now. You just need to know whether you want to go back and what you plan to do after you go back."

"What's the point of going back? I no longer have the chance to try. To put it bluntly, I should have been hopeless there. I might have already died." Hu Xingtong lowered his head in self-mockery, a sarcastic smile spreading from the corners of his mouth.

"So you don't want to try, maybe it would be better if you go back, maybe there's still a chance?"

Hu Xingtong just shook her head. She didn't think she had any chance.

"If you can live, who wants to die? But when I comprehend and feel time from here, I feel like I'm doing useless work. Time is perception. After repeating myself over and over again, I still haven't reached the future. Does that mean I don't have a future at all? So there's no way I can go to the future. That's why I feel like I may have no hope."

"Hehe..." The girl seemed to smile, then lifted Hu Xingtong's chin, forcing her to look at her. She said, "You shouldn't be so pessimistic. Everything has a cause and an effect. There must be a reason why you were able to survive in that world. Maybe you can't see it clearly now, but you will understand it later."

"Besides, you should go back. Your friends are still trying to save you. You should live well for their expectations." The girl let her go, took a step back and continued, "Even if you die, you should have fulfilled your wish. You shouldn't leave with regrets."

"A wish..." Hu Xingtong lowered her head again, pondering the girl's words. For some reason, a flash of inspiration came to her mind, but she didn't grasp it. Instead, she felt a little more expectant about this wish.

"Can you help me fulfill my wish?" Hu Xingtong looked up at the girl with a little more hope in his eyes.

Under this gaze, the girl nodded and said, "Tell me what you want, and I can help you fulfill it."

"I want to go back and take a look." Hu Xingtong took a step forward and said eagerly.

The girl simply nodded, calmly pushing the man away and saying, "It's good to go back and take a look. You should always consider what others expect of you. Even if it's not for yourself, it should be for others. No matter what the result is, your hard work will satisfy them. At least you tried."

……

The girl's voice seemed to still be in his ears. Hu Xingtong just opened his eyes in a trance. In front of him was a familiar ceiling that only existed in dreams. Under him was his favorite mattress. The surrounding environment and furnishings were still the same as he remembered, as if it had been a long time.
