This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

“Okay, I’ll come back to sell my talismans next time.” Lian Xue took the spirit stone, which disappeared in her hand and was stored in her spirit pouch.

"Thank you very much this time." Lianxue clasped her hands in a fist salute, then turned and pulled Qingshu away from Duobao Pavilion.

There was no longer any queue outside, and the flow of people was much less than when we arrived. The stalls on both sides of the road were clearly visible.

"Sister Qingshu, is there anything else you want to buy?" Lianxue asked, looking at Qingshu, whose eyes were shining.

"Just browsing. Let's make it clear that I'll pay for it myself, you don't need to pay." If Lianxue could buy Ziyou, she wouldn't want Lianxue to spend money on her.

"Okay~ but if it's not enough, you can just say so, and I'll consider it a loan to you." Lianxue looked at Qingshu, who seemed to want to buy but was afraid of not having enough money, so she had no choice but to say this.

"Hey, that's a good idea, let's make it a happy decision then." Qing Shu said, then moved from stall to stall.

Lianxue felt that Qingshu was more like a child, while she herself was like an older sister.

Lianxue looked after the stall herself, walked up to it and bought a few sets of clothes and some miscellaneous items, and the two walked back.

"The Bai family of Xiahe Town hasn't returned yet after all this time?"

Lianxue and her companion arrived home around midnight. After dinner, they took out the things they had bought for Aunt Bai and chatted for a while longer.

Lianxue returned to the house, checked on Li Zhenzhen to make sure she was alright, and then began to examine the gray stone herself.

I had previously received it into my storage bag. I took it out and examined it carefully. The stone had a smooth surface and was a light gray color. I couldn't see anything special about it. With a thought, I put it into my Phoenix Bracelet.

She didn't know what the stone was for, let alone how to use it, so she just threw it into the Phoenix Bracelet. Since there was a reaction, she figured it must be the right thing to do.

Stop worrying and start meditating. Spiritual energy circulates from the dantian to each acupoint and then returns to the dantian.

He finally broke through to the high-level warrior realm.

Exiting her cultivation state, Lianxue channeled her spiritual energy into the Phoenix Bracelet, wanting to see what changes had occurred in the stone and the bracelet.

At this moment, the stone disappeared from the space, and the visibility of the space became clear.

As far as the eye can see, there are thatched huts. I remember the first time I came in, I walked there little by little.

At this moment, a small amount of spiritual energy swirled around, and the withered grass on the ground began to revive.

A simple wooden bridge spans a dry, solidified riverbed.

Now it no longer looks gray and gloomy, but more like a small bridge, flowing water and a family home.

As I entered the thatched hut, a wave of longing washed over me: How was my mother's health? Was my master safe? Was my brother alright? Where was my senior sister?

A touch of sadness lingered as Lianxue walked to the album, gently stroking the portrait with her fingers. "Senior Qinglian has also disappeared. If there is an afterlife, she will surely be born into a good family."

Upon entering the inner room, a white cat appeared on the bed at some unknown time.

The cat, fluffy and soft, lay fast asleep on the bed.

I walked over quietly, squatted down, rested my chin on my hands, and looked at the cat.

The cat seemed to have made up its mind, and its eyes slowly narrowed into slits.

He glanced at Lianxue, then closed his eyes as if powerless.

"Little kitten, where did you come from? Why are you inside the Phoenix Bracelet?" Lianxue asked, looking at the tiny, snow-white kitten.

No one answered her, but she wasn't annoyed.

He stood up and casually opened the book on the Wind Flash Step technique.

This footwork uses the wind's force, spiritual energy, and mental power, which drift away with the wind... When practiced to its extreme, it can transform into the wind.

As Lianxue read the introduction, she felt as if she had entered another space and time, where she saw a powerful being dancing with the wind. In the end, that person turned into the wind, dissolved into the wind, and disappeared into the sky without leaving a trace.

The image disappeared, and Lian Xue remained stunned for a long time, overwhelmed by that aura.

His wave of the hand created the wind, his figure moved like the wind, and the feeling of completely controlling the wind moved her deeply.

With this subtle insight, Lianxue went to the bed and began to meditate, slowly experiencing the gentleness and sharpness of the wind.

The kitten opened its eyes a crack, glanced at Lianxue beside it again, and then slowly closed them again.

It was now the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), the night was hazy, and sparse starlight was scattered among the mottled clouds. A ray of light from the east split the clouds, and a traveler hurriedly arrived.

This person was a man dressed in a white robe with broad shoulders and wide sleeves, the sleeves edged with auspicious clouds, riding a sword as if he had merged with the sky.

"The sect selection has been brought forward; hopefully, some good talents will emerge this time," the man murmured to himself, his gaze fixed on the distance.

Deep within the Ghost Forest, Qi Nianbei comforted Lu Yaorao, saying, "Senior Sister Lu, don't believe that woman's words. Lianxue will definitely be waiting for us."

Tears welled up in Lu Yaorao's eyes as she looked at the boy who was younger than her, now comforting her. She felt even more heartbroken. "I... I just feel that my senior sister is too useless. I believe she is still waiting for me."

"I also believe that she is waiting for us now," Qi Nianbei murmured softly, looking at the hazy night.

It turned out that the two had been chasing Xia Lan and her group. When they were being chased, Xia Lan, seeing that they were relentlessly pursuing her, said that Li Zhenzhen and Lian Xue had died together, and that Li Zhenzhen had jumped into the river with Lian Xue in her arms.

Xia Lan said, "I was just teaching her a lesson. Who told her to be so rude? Who knew Li Zhenzhen would be so ruthless as to pick her up and jump into the river? It's been so long, she's probably been swept away by the current for tens of thousands of miles, or even eaten by wild fish. It's no use bothering me now."

"You're talking nonsense. It's all your fault. My junior sister would never talk back to others so easily." Lu Yaorao didn't believe what she said.

"Believe it or not, I've told you, so stop bothering me." Xia Lan said with an indifferent expression, "It's none of my business, leave me alone."

"You..." Lu Yaorao wanted to retort, but just then, the group threw out a teleportation array and left. Lu Yaorao reached out to grab it, but only managed to grab a small piece.

The two of them had no choice but to continue searching near the river for a long time. Nighttime is when people are most relaxed, but also most prone to sadness, which is why Lu Yaorao was heartbroken and Qi Nianbei was trying to comfort her.

"Why don't we leave Ghost Forest and go outside the forest? That way we can better find out where Lianxue is," Lu Yaorao said after a long pause, as if she had made up her mind.

“I think it’s a good idea. Maybe she’s already left Ghost Forest and is out there unable to contact us. Once she’s out, I can ask Father to help find her. Duobao Pavilion is located all over the place, so it shouldn’t be difficult.” Qi Nianbei thought about it and agreed.

"If all else fails, there's always Minglang Pavilion. It's the largest intelligence organization; we should be able to find them," Qi Nianbei added.

"Okay, it's settled then. So how do we get out now?" Lu Yaorao asked after calming down.

"I have a map here, let me take a look." Qi Nianbei said, and a map appeared in her hand.

"According to the map, we should still be on the outskirts, and the nearest town is more than a thousand miles away." Qi Nianbei looked at the map and found the fastest way out.

"Okay, let's go then." Lu Yaorao also looked at the map and thought it was feasible. After saying that, the two of them left quickly.

Lian Xue was unaware of Lu Yaorao's situation. At this moment, she was still immersed in her enlightenment, and her spiritual energy was gradually entering her body, with some of it seeping into the kitten's body.

The door creaked open. "Sister Xue, get up and have breakfast."

Qingshu called out to Lianxue with a smile.

"It's already dawn? Hmm, let me wash up first, sister, go ahead." Lianxue took off the phoenix bracelet, stood up, and tidied herself up.

After breakfast, a new day begins.
