Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Xue Lan flicked his sleeve atop the flying boat in the clouds, and all the causal threads entangled around his body disappeared.

Xue Tong spoke softly from behind: "Xue Lan, are you sad?"

Xue Lan had her back to her, her voice hoarse: "Xue Tong, I want to see Master."

Just as Xue Tong was about to refuse, she saw the girl in front of her turn around, look down into her eyes, her eyes red, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Xue Tong: She's faking it!

I'll check for you, but I can't find it right away. You'll have to wait.

Upon hearing this, Xue Lan sighed: "As soon as possible!"

Xue Tong felt a little sad seeing her like that and didn't dare to share the fully loaded plot with Xue Lan.

When she first came to this world, her own authority was restricted due to the limitations of the world.

What Xue Lan was shown at the time was a collection of the author's main characters, while he himself held a muddled outline.

It says that Lu Feng became an outer disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect, destroyed the sect through various means, extracted Zhu He's sword bone, tricked Ji Jinjin into going to another world, and was ambushed and killed by the demon race. He also dug out Lian Chuan's spiritual root and made him his spirit pet.

In the entire outline, there are only two paragraphs describing Ling Yuanzi:

The first paragraph reads, "That old man with a full head of white hair is the peak master of Jiyuan Peak, True Man Lingyuan. If you follow him, you'll truly be a loser!"

The second paragraph: On the strange rock lay a skeleton dressed in white, holding a black jade chess piece in its hand. It hadn't placed the piece before its death. Lu Feng took a few steps forward and saw a small character "岚" (Lan) written on the side of the dark chessboard. Lu Feng took the cultivator's storage bag, initially thinking the chessboard was also a valuable treasure, but upon closer inspection with his divine sense...

It's just an ordinary piece of jade.

Xue Lan is only briefly mentioned in the original book, which says that she had an exceptional talent for weapon crafting, but died young.

Xue Tong was now regretting it so much that he kept slapping his head, hating himself for choosing an uncontrollable host, and now he had to help someone find a master who wasn't described much in the original book.

She sighed as she flipped through her database, thinking that this was probably the consequence of her mistakes on the production line.

The spirit boat parted the clouds ahead, heading straight for the edge of the Xuanhuang Grotto-Heaven. Xue Tong sensed something was amiss and looked at the girl ahead: "Where are you going?"

Xue Lan replied, "Let's go down the mountain to eat."

The Xuanhuang Grotto-Heaven imposes strict restrictions on its disciples' travel to the mortal realm.

However, at Xue Lan's level, these restrictions were negligible. She easily left the Xuanhuang Cave Heaven, and the elder guarding the cave heaven even instructed her not to linger outside for too long.

Looking at the sweet smile on the girl's face, Xue Tong thought that this person should go into acting.

Her carefree personality and gentle, easily bullied smile are all an act.

Xue Lan and her companion arrived at the closest human town to Xuanhuang Cave Heaven.

Ruoshui City is the largest human city within a radius of dozens of miles. Although it is called the largest, it is actually only a county town, barely half the size of a prefectural city. It is divided into four streets: east, west, south, and north.

Xue Lan arrived in town just in time for lunch. The aroma of food wafted from every restaurant. Xue Lan and Xue Tong were dressed simply, but the fabric of their clothes was clearly of the highest quality. As they passed a restaurant, they were greeted enthusiastically by the waiters.

"Are you two ladies looking for a place to rest? Our Zhenwei Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the entire Ruoshui City. Not only is it spacious, but the dishes are also delicious and visually appealing."

Seeing that the two had stopped, the waiter knew that the order was almost secured, so he went out to greet them: "Today, Chef Su, who is in charge of the kitchen, has an exceptional skill in making pastries. If you two don't want to eat, you can have some pastries, tea, and enjoy the view in the private room on the second floor. It would be much better than being here under the scorching sun."

Xue Lan didn't react, but Xue Tong was already stunned, secretly sending a telepathic message to Xue Lan: "Is this the top salesperson in ancient times?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Lan smiled and looked at her, saying, "Go in and have a seat."

Then, accompanied by the waiter, we entered Zhenweilou Restaurant, but instead of going to a private room on the second floor or ordering pastries, we ordered several main dishes and two bowls of rice in the main hall on the first floor.

After the waiter seated them, he called out and headed towards the kitchen. Xue Lan drank the complimentary tea offered by the restaurant; however, being a complimentary tea, it wasn't anything special, mostly just dried leaves and tea dust. Xue Lan took one sip and then stopped, instead looking at the alleyway directly opposite the restaurant's entrance.

The summer sun blazed down, baking the earth. In the courtyard at the alley entrance stood a large peach tree, its blossoms now fallen, casting a shady canopy.

The little beggar lay under the shade of a tree, his head resting on his grandfather's lap.

"Grandpa, I'm so hungry! And it's so hot!"

The old beggar's hair was disheveled. Hearing the little beggar's voice, he raised his hand and slapped him on the head.

"You little brat, are you the only one feeling hot?"

The little beggar rolled over on the old beggar's lap, and it seemed he could hear himself making a sizzling sound.

I don't know if I was being roasted or if it was the sound of cooking from a nearby restaurant.

"But Grandpa, I'm hungry!"

The old beggar covered his grandson's eyes: "Wait a little longer, we have to wait until they finish eating!"

The owners of the restaurants in this area are all nice people; they will bring some food to these beggars from the kitchen after the customers have finished eating.

But now is the time for them to do business, so it's inappropriate to go up there begging for food.

The cicadas chirped incessantly, and the little beggar covered his nose, trying to stop the wafts of delicious food from tempting him. He wondered if these rich people could eat quickly.

I wonder if I can grow up quickly. My grandfather said that once I grow up, he will find me a job.

Then we won't have to beg anymore.

In the short time it took Xue Lan to see the two beggars, one old and one young, the food they ordered had already arrived. The table was laden with food, and the two young girls sitting at the table attracted the attention of many diners nearby.

"Little Second!"

Xue Lan beckoned to the waiter who had just brought them in, pointing to a braised pork knuckle, a plate of poached chicken, and a dish of stewed lamb chops sprinkled with scallions on the table.

"Take half of each of these three dishes, wrap them in oil paper, and add a few steamed buns on top."

"Alright!" the waiter called out cheerfully, and the surrounding diners turned their attention away.

That's normal. Two young girls can't possibly eat that much. Even if they take it all home, there will probably still be a lot left on the table.

Xue Tong, holding her chopsticks, watched Xue Lan devour her food across from her and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are you here for?"

Xue Lan looked up at her from in front of her rice bowl: "Don't talk while eating or sleeping, eat quickly."

Xue Tong had no choice but to eat, but after taking the first bite, she couldn't stop.

How can something from ancient times, free from pollution, taste so good?

Amidst the astonished gazes of those around them, the two young girls devoured most of the food on the table like a whirlwind, then paid the bill and left the restaurant with the oil paper package that the waiter had prepared for them.

After leaving the restaurant, Xue Lan did not leave immediately, but instead took the packed food and headed towards the alley across the street.

The old beggar leaning against the wall had straightened up long before the two approached, and Xue Lan noticed that he was missing an arm and a leg.

"Grandpa, my younger sister and I were dining at the restaurant across the street just now. She's a bit childish and ordered too much food." Xue Lan said with a smile, glancing back at Xue Tong as she spoke.

"We simply asked the restaurant to remove half of it before the meal, and then gave it to the elderly person."

As he spoke, he raised the oil paper package in his hand.

Before the old beggar could speak, the little beggar who had been lying down jumped up and caught the oil paper package.

"Thank you sister."

Xue Lan looked at the young boy in front of her, who was about the same age as Lian Chuan.

"Then I shall take my leave."

After delivering the groceries, Xue Lan left with Xue Tong. Only after they had walked out of the bustling street did Xue Tong speak, somewhat angrily.

[Suddenly, she had a medical episode and insisted on going down the mountain for a meal. She ordered a huge amount of food and then blamed it all on me.]

Xue Lan suddenly laughed from ahead.

Xue Tong: [What are you laughing at?]

Xue Lan raised her right wrist, where a red line of karma had appeared, resembling the red string worn during folk prayers for blessings.

At the same time, Xue Tong seemed to see many faint gray causal lines emerging from behind Xue Lan, piercing into the girl's heart from behind, making Xue Lan look like a puppet being manipulated, which was extremely terrifying.

The girl wore a relieved smile.

"Having eradicated all good causes but failed to eliminate evil consequences, no wonder my inner demons arose from within. I only remember myself as an utterly wicked sinner!"

In her previous life, she severed her own good karma, vanished into the river of time, and carried with her a legacy of evil. She was supposed to freeze to death on the street that snowy night.

Unexpectedly, Ling Yuanzi rescued her, and with his kindness, he tied a life-saving thread for Xue Lan, allowing her to survive.

"Master!"

Xue Lan murmured softly.

"I wonder if my good deeds this time will be able to bring me back to the human world when I reach the end of my road in the long river of time?"
