This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

Lianxue followed the only remaining light and chased after it.

As her vision blurred and she could no longer see the surrounding scenery clearly, Lianxue didn't have time to think about anything else and just kept chasing after them.

Finally, the man in black stopped at one spot. Lian Xue chased after him in a few steps, but the man in black vanished in a flash.

Without even chasing her, she arrived at the person lying on the ground and turned her over. To her surprise, the person was not Qing Shu, but Jing Wei.

"Wake up, wake up, what's wrong?" Lianxue patted Jingwei's cheeks, but she showed no signs of waking up.

With no other option, Lianxue helped Jingwei sit up cross-legged and then channeled her spiritual energy into Jingwei's body from behind.

As spiritual energy flowed into Jingwei's body, she let out a soft cry, "Ah!"

Lianxue quickly let go of Jingwei's hand, came to her side, and asked, "You're awake. Tell me what happened quickly?"

Jingwei opened her eyes and saw the anxious Lianxue. She was also confused. "You...you're so mean. It's all your fault." After saying that, she got up and was about to hit Lianxue.

Lian Xue looked bewildered. She glanced at Jing Wei and dodged her attack.

Suddenly, Jingwei stopped hitting, squatted on the ground, hugged her arms, buried her head in her knees and cried, "Waaah, it's all your fault." She sobbed pitifully as she spoke.

"What's wrong?" Lianxue asked helplessly.

Jingwei cried even harder, sobbing, "It's all your fault that I got my pants and skirt dirty, and they laughed at me. I finally got to change my clothes, and then I was knocked unconscious. Who else can I blame but you?"

Lianxue felt a little guilty. Indeed, if she hadn't pulled her out, this wouldn't have happened. "I did warn you, but you didn't listen..."

"I don't care, it's all your fault!" Jingwei's eyes were red from crying.

Seeing this, Lianxue quickly changed the subject, "By the way, why are you wearing the same clothes as Qingshu?"

Jingwei stopped crying. "How should I know? I was afraid that more people would see and laugh at me, so I hurriedly ran to the outhouse."

But I didn't have any clothes with me. Just when I was getting anxious, someone hung their clothes on the outhouse door, and I put them on.

Lianxue thought for a moment and then asked, "Think carefully, is there anything else special?"

Jingwei recalled, "I think I heard someone fall down, and then a woman said, 'There are clothes here.'"

Because I was in a hurry and didn't think much, after getting dressed, I hadn't gone far when I felt myself being attacked, and then I woke up here.

Lianxue was still unwilling to give up, "Then did you see what that person looked like?"

Jingwei didn't speak, she just shook her head.

Of course, there was another thing that puzzled Lianxue. According to Jingwei, she was knocked unconscious not long after she came out. So what was the situation with the person who saw her running away earlier?

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of her, Lianxue had no choice but to say, "Never mind, let's go back and think of a solution."

Jingwei glanced around and hesitated before asking, "Where is this? How do I get out?"

Lianxue looked around, but all she could see was darkness, and she couldn't even distinguish the scenery clearly. "Let's go back the way we came, but we can't tell which way to go in the dark, so I can't guarantee we'll be able to get out."

Jingwei was a little afraid of the dark. She trembled and tugged at Lianxue's sleeve. "Because of you, I was ridiculed. You can't abandon me afterward. Consider it compensation."

Lianxue found it amusing. Was darkness scary? Compared to darkness, people were probably scarier. Because of Jingwei's crying, Lianxue's anxiety lessened considerably.

All she wanted to do now was get back quickly. This matter was not simple and required Aunt Yun to find someone to resolve it. It seemed that it was no longer a problem she could solve on her own.

After walking for a while, they saw a light ahead.

Jingwei released Lianxue and ran over excitedly, repeatedly shouting, "Great! There's light! We can go out now..."

Lianxue was also infected by her excitement, and a smile appeared on her lips.

The two ran towards the light, but what appeared before them was not a city, but a tribe.

This is a real thatched house. The low house is only as tall as an adult. And there is another key point: it was clearly dark just now, but the sky in front of us is clear and blue.

Jingwei was also dumbfounded. "What, what's going on?"

Lianxue was also very surprised and pulled Jingwei along the way they came, saying, "Let's leave quickly."

The two ran very fast and far away, but they were unable to re-enter the darkness.

Lianxue remembered that just now, she only took one step forward, not very far, so why is she running so far now, but still not out?

Lianxue was still young, and even though she was cautious, she was still timid. Fine beads of sweat slid down her cheeks.

Jingwei was terrified and trembling like a leaf.

Lianxue's composure was disrupted by Jingwei, and she began to panic as well.

She forced herself to calm down, because her master had once taught her, "If you ever encounter danger or trouble, remember not to panic, but to keep a clear head and remain calm."

When you're in danger, there's definitely no one else around, so no one will come to your rescue. You can only save yourself, or you'll just have to wait to die.

Her master's words seemed to echo in her ears. Yes, if there were other people around, they wouldn't put her in danger. (You say Jingwei isn't human?! She'd better not worry about herself, she's already in dire need.)

Lianxue took two deep breaths to suppress the panic in her heart, and looked up at her surroundings again. What she saw was an endless grassland.

Just then, a sound came from the side, and arrows whistled as they were fired at lightning speed.

Lianxue threw out a talisman, and a talisman for fixing objects disappeared instantly.

The rain of arrows paused for a moment, and Lianxue pulled Jingwei away and ran.

With so many arrows, it would be foolish not to run. After running into the bushes, a gap appeared ahead, and a steep hillside came into view.

Arrows came again from behind. One after another, dwarves rode on giant beasts. The dwarves were covered in animal skins and wore animal bones on their heads. The teeth on their necks gleamed coldly. The giant beasts they sat on had eyes like copper bells, wide nostrils, and kept panting. They were as strong as oxen, with tails like lion tails and four agile elephant legs. At this moment, their eyes were full of ferocity as they stared at the two of them.

Jingwei was so shocked by the scene before her that she couldn't speak, and could only keep tugging at Lianxue's sleeve.

Lianxue felt like her sleeves were about to be ripped off.

"What do you want? We mean no harm," Lian Xue said, trying to appear calm.

What awaited them was the giant beast's roar to the sky, and the dwarves' arrows.

This bizarre combination and their peculiar way of communicating left Lianxue completely at a loss for what to do.

In the end, Jingwei pulled Lianxue and jumped off the cliff.

Lianxue thought she was going to fall hard, but when she landed, the ground was soft and yielding. She raised her arm to check and found nothing wrong.

They glanced at Jingwei, their eyes met, and they both smiled, the misunderstanding from before melting away.

Looking down, a layer of white, fluffy stuff covered the entire ground.

Lianxue curiously picked it up to examine it, asking, "What is this?"

Jingwei looked around thoughtfully, "Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a spider called the Heavenly Silkworm Silver Spider. The silk produced by this spider was soft and supple, even better than the silk of the Heavenly Silkworm."

Lianxue touched the snow-white spider silk. "It's so soft, like cotton. It feels so comfortable." What are the habits of this spider?

As Jingwei spoke, she distanced herself from Lianxue and stepped back, saying, "The Heavenly Silkworm Silver Spider is gentle by nature, but if you touch its silk, it will become violent and kill, as it considers this an invasion of its territory."

Outside the Imperial Capital Sect, Yunzhi waited anxiously, "Where did Lianxue go? And what about Xiao Jingwei and Bai Qingshu? The test is about to begin."
