The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

"Hu Yege, you are really dirty, with snot and tears all over my clothes. Do you know that my clothes are very expensive, made of heavenly grade materials? Even if I sell you, it won't be enough." Hu Xingtong stood with her hands on her waist, looking at the two people who were holding her waist in distress with a bad temper.

It’s amazing that after not seeing each other for a long time, both of them have grown up a lot. It seems that Wang Yingying has also grown taller and should be old enough to go to junior high school.

"Xingxing..." An old voice sounded in front of him. Hu Xingtong looked up in surprise. He didn't know when his mother's hair had turned white. Only a few scattered strands of black hair were left. She looked much older.

"Mom..." Hu Xingtong felt a little guilty. Unlike the quick glance she took last time, this time she clearly saw the changes in everyone. It seemed that they had not been living well during the days she was away.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Let's eat first and talk after dinner." Mother Hu turned her head away, as if she didn't want her daughters to see her appearance, and arranged for them to go eat.

At the dining table, Hu Xingtong finally sat in the seat he had longed for and ate the food he had longed for.

"Xingxing, how long do you plan to stay this time?" asked Hu's mother, with a hint of caution in her tone.

To be honest, Hu Xingtong didn't know how long he could stay, so he could only give a vague number: "Just a few days, I have to go back."

"That's right...then you stay over there..." Mother Hu wanted to say that if she felt uncomfortable, she could come back, but when she came to her senses, she realized that if she didn't stay over there, she would be a corpse when she returned.

Hu Luoxi also knew what her mother was saying, so she added helpfully, "Even if you feel uncomfortable staying here, you have to stay. As long as you can come back, I, your sister, am willing to let you enjoy any good life you have."

Hu Xingtong refused to obey her and said rebelliously, "Why, after I come back, I want to eat, drink, gamble and have sex, and you can do it?"

"That won't do. Eating and drinking are fine, but whoring and gambling are not. We have to be law-abiding young people." Mother Hu stopped Hu Xingtong's wild thoughts, picked up a piece of fish and warned him, "Be careful of the bones."

I picked up the piece of fish and tasted it. It seemed to have no taste. I didn't know if it was my problem or because my mother didn't add salt.

"Is it delicious?" asked Hu's mother, with some anticipation in her eyes.

Hu Xingtong could only nod and said with a smile: "It's delicious, absolutely amazing."

After a group of people chatted and laughed over their meal, Hu Xingtong finally experienced the long-lost family atmosphere. Just as he was about to arrange a game of mahjong, he heard a girl's voice: "It's time to come back."

"Boom--" Thunder sounded outside the window, as if reminding someone of something.

"Xingxing? Still playing?" Hu Luoxi looked at the dazed Hu Xingtong, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Hu Xingtong glanced at the four people present, smiled, and said, "I can't play anymore, I have to go back, but... I know what to do, I will be back, wait for me..."

As soon as the words fell, the tablecloth fell from mid-air. Before the four of them could react...

……

When she returned to this empty space again, the strong sense of separation almost overwhelmed Hu Xingtong. She sat there alone, looking at somewhere without saying a word.

"Your family is looking forward to your return, that's great."

"What do you want to say?" Hu Xingtong had come back to his senses and looked in the direction of the girl.

The girl just looked at her and answered irrelevantly: "You know, if you don't succeed in breaking through the dimension this time, your little system friend will disappear."

"What do you mean?"

"She's been here three times. The first time, she accidentally fell here and was chased by a lot of monsters. She was so scared that I had to rescue her. The second and third times, she followed you. The second time, she was also scared and didn't dare to say a word. She just huddled beside you. But the third time, she dared to speak and even told you how to leave."

"Is she different from before?" The "she" the girl was talking about should be Chen Wu. She really wanted to hear about Chen Wu's past.

"Hmm... it's a little different." The girl looked at her, pondered for a moment, and continued, "Back then, she didn't seem to have a name, just No. 1016. She was a little idiot, not understanding emotions. Later, she got a name the second time, Chen Wu, and then she gradually developed her own opinions and became as emotionally rich as a person."

"Then why did you say she would disappear?"

"Because he's breaking the rules by helping you, he'll be punished. I can't say too much." The girl hesitated, not saying anything more. Instead, she changed the subject. "So, now that your wish has been fulfilled, have you decided what you want to do next?"

Hu Xingtong shook her head. The haze in her heart had not yet dissipated, and there were some things she had not figured out.

"I still want to ask, who are you?"

The girl obviously didn't expect that she would remember this question for so long, so she could only vaguely answer, "It's too early for you to know who I am now. When you are able to leave that world, we will meet again, and then you will understand everything."

Is that so? Hu Xingtong was unsure, but the question mark in her heart gradually expanded. It seemed that she wanted to know more and more things. It seemed that everyone knew her past, only she didn't know.

"Okay, your friend is here to pick you up. Go back now and work hard for your dreams."

When Hu Xingtong heard the girl's voice for the last time, he felt a suction force on his body, which directly wrapped him up. After a sudden pull, he was followed by a sense of relief as if he had been freed from the shackles.

……

Back to a while ago...

After bringing Hu Xingtong and Gu Sihe back to Fanyun Sect, Tan Luo disappeared.

He just sent a message instructing the first elder and the second elder to go to the main peak, and specifically asked Sun Ze to come find him.

"Everything you wanted has been achieved. What should we do next?" Tan Luo asked, looking at the pink figure in front of him.

Chen Wu looked towards the distant courtyard and said, "The price of using the Sky-Breaking Disk to reverse time and space is not small. The others have completed the transaction, but you haven't." Having said that, Tan Luo already understood and had already made a plan in his mind.

On top of a mountain, Sun Ze found the two people who were talking. When he saw the pink figure, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then quickly returned to normal.

"Master!"

"Aze, come here."

Upon hearing this, Sun Ze stepped forward and looked at his master, who was clearly much more haggard, and asked with concern, "Master, are you okay?"

Tan Luo just shook his head and looked at his eldest disciple, who was also the one who gave him the least worry.

"It's the out-of-body stage, still a little short, but enough. Take this." Tan Luo handed the master's jade token he carried with him to Sun Ze and announced solemnly: "From today on, you will act as the master." Without saying anything else, Tan Luo knew that this disciple was reliable.

But Sun Ze was unwilling to do so. This was the first time he disobeyed his master. "Master, I don't want to. We all know about Third Junior Sister's situation. She recovered without you that time, and there's no need for you to make such a sacrifice this time."
