This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

Li Dan drew his sword and charged forward. Seeing the dart coming towards him, he swung his sword, knocking it away with a clang. He leaped to dodge, and the dart embedded itself in the tree trunk.

Lu Yaorao frowned slightly. As she watched her opponent nimbly dodge her darts, she produced a talisman and attached the character "Chase" to the remaining darts, which then spun and chased after her.

Li Dan dodged the dart by somersaulting to the side. The dart swirled back towards him, and he dodged left and right as if dancing, jumping up and down the tree, having a great time.

Knowing that his talisman level was too low and that he couldn't get close, Li Dan could only keep dodging.

"Haha, this is so funny! Senior sister, you're amazing!" Seeing how hilarious the person was, Lianxue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Junior Sister, we must take the battle seriously and never be careless or underestimate our opponents, understand?" Lu Yaorao said, her hands moving constantly as she instructed her junior sister.

"Mmm~ Senior Sister Lianxue will remember, I will definitely take it seriously." Lianxue nodded solemnly, but she couldn't hide the slight upturn of her lips. She knew that her senior sister was teaching her, and she admired her senior sister's ability to react.

Leng Yaoye and Qi Nianbei watched their battle intently. Although it looked somewhat comical, the control and application of talismans were truly impressive. Opponents who would be difficult for them to defeat seemed so easy for Senior Sister Lu. It seemed that in their first exchange, Senior Sister intended for them to learn from her; otherwise…

Qi Nianbei's shock was written all over his face. Was this the same person who had chased him so desperately before?

"Grandma~ no~ Ancestor, you are my ancestor, please stop, I will never dare to do it again, please!" Li Dan really couldn't take it anymore. He swung his sword to block the darts, but they seemed to have eyes. Not only did he look like a clown, but he was also too tired to dodge them.

"Fine, I'm not that old, and I don't want to be your ancestor." He continued throwing darts without stopping.

"I was wrong, I will never do it again, I swear I will never appear in front of you again!" Li Dan hurriedly shouted, showing how anxious he was.

"What do you think?" Lu Yaorao didn't say yes or no, but turned to look at Qi Nianbei, after all, this person had come to kill him.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Lu. Now, tell me, who sent you to hunt me down?" She thanked Lu Yaorao first, then looked at Li Dan.

"It's your sister, Qi Qinglin," Li Dan hurriedly explained, disregarding everything else.

"Is that so? Then swear that what you said is true, that you will never appear in front of us again, and that you will never betray us." Qi Nianbei looked at Li Dan with a serious expression.

"Alright, I promise! I, Li Dan, hereby swear that everything I just said is true. From this day forward, I will never appear before these people again, nor will I betray them. If I break this oath, I will be reduced to ashes!" Li Dan was truly afraid, and his oath was made without hesitation.

"Alright, you can get lost now," Lu Yaorao glanced at him and urged him to leave quickly.

"I'm leaving~ I'm leaving!" Li Dan said and ran away without looking back.

"Wait, you can't leave yet!" Qi Nianbei called out to Li Dan.

"I've sworn, everything I said is true," Li Dan said, trembling with fear.

"Give me back the ring you stole from me!" Qi Nianbei glared at Li Dan and stretched out her hand.

"Okay! I'll give it to you right now," Li Dan said, taking out a sparkling ring from his pocket and returning it to Qi Nianbei.

The light disappeared as he reached out and took the ribbon from his finger.

"You can get out now," Qi Nianbei said, glancing over to confirm she was right, before shooing him away.

Li Dan ran away without looking back, and disappeared in a short while.

"Sigh! I never imagined that the one chasing me would be my half-sister," Qi Nianbei said sadly. She couldn't believe that the girl who always seemed so gentle and kind would...

"You should handle these things yourself when you get back. There's no point in worrying about them now," Lu Yaorao said, unable to bear it any longer.

“Yes! Let’s go back and investigate things thoroughly before making any plans,” Lianxue added.

Leng Yaoye didn't say anything, but his brows furrowed slightly, his gaze shifting between Lian Xue and Qi Nianbei as if he were puzzled or conflicted.

“That’s the only way. By the way, I can give you the spirit-gathering bag I promised you before.” Qi Nianbei looked at Lian Xue and said this. He then made a gesture with his finger, and a small bag appeared in his hand. It looked like a purse, was yellowish-brown in color, and had a rope tied at the top.

I really didn't see anything special about it.

"This is what I promised you. It's about fifty square meters inside. You can just imprint your spiritual power on it." Qi Nianbei handed the spirit-gathering bag to Lian Xue, indicating that they could begin.

"Then I won't be polite." Lian Xue took the storage bag, separated a wisp of spiritual energy, and entered the storage bag. She felt that the space inside was very large and could hold a lot of things.

Without hesitation, he imprinted his spiritual power onto the bag, feeling as if everything inside was in his mind. He could take things out whenever he wanted, happily putting his miscellaneous items into it, and with a thought, he took out a dagger.

Seeing the little girl's happy face, Qi Nianbei smiled as well.

Leng Yaoye thought to himself, "It's just a spirit storage bag, what's there to be happy about?"

"Young Master, are we going to leave on our own now?" Xiaoyue asked.

Leng Yaoye thought for a moment. "Senior sister, I'll be leaving now. I have other things to attend to and can't stay with you any longer."

"What's preventing you from leaving Ghost Forest before going there?" Lian Xue stopped fiddling with her storage bag and looked up to ask curiously.

"I have to leave because of my parents. I can't accompany you on your training anymore, little girl," Leng Yaoye said, reaching out to rub Lianxue's head.

"Ouch! I know, stop touching my hair, you've messed it up!" She looked at Leng Yaoye with a reproachful expression.

"Junior Brother, please be careful. We can't accompany you with your parents; Junior Sister still needs more experience," Lu Yaorao said apologetically.

"It's alright, Senior Sister, we'll be going then." After saying that, she left with Xiaoyue.

And so, the team went from five people to three.

"Alright, stop looking. That's life. There are gatherings and partings. We'll meet again next time. Come on, junior sister, give me a smile," Lu Yaorao teased Lian Xue.

"Senior sister, can you please stop making fun of me?" Lian Xue felt she was speechless.

"By the way, can any of you tell me how the Spirit Storage Bag works?" Looking at this small bag that can hold so many things, I was really curious.

"I've heard a little about this; it's said to seal spatial power within it," Lu Yaorao said as she walked.

Qi Nianbei said, "That's right. The spirit storage bag was jointly developed by space masters and rune masters. The powerful ones can even create their own world, but that hasn't happened yet; it's just a legend. Right now, what we have are spirit storage bags, space bracelets, space rings, and the like."

"Wow~ Space sounds amazing!" Lianxue exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the sky.

"So it seems that our mortal realm is indeed isolated!" Lu Yaorao couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the Central Continent.

There are many ways to control spiritual energy, depending on individual understanding. For example, if someone's spiritual energy shield is of a higher level than yours, it is not easy to break through it.

"The people sent to hunt me down were brought by my sister, which is why their level is not high."

"This doesn't mean that everyone in our Central Continent has low cultivation levels," Qi Nianbei said with a serious expression.
