I will burn books and slay gods.

"Qingqing?" Chen Ye looked troubled. "Forget it, I'll just call you Tianqing."

"My lord, you may call me whatever you wish. May I ask how you came to be here? After all, I haven't seen a living person here for a very long time," Tian Qing asked Chen Ye.

"Hmm~" Chen Ye didn't know how to answer. "We saw something like a teleportation device, jumped in, and when we opened our eyes, we were here."

After Chen Ye finished explaining his situation, he suddenly realized what had happened and asked Tian Qing, "How did you get here?"

Tianqing didn't hide anything and said clearly, "Of course I'm here, after all, I'm the guardian of this place."

"A guardian?!" Chen Ye scoffed. "You, a guardian? Look at your cowardly appearance." Chen Ye couldn't help but laugh, staring directly at Tian Qing in front of him.

Chen Ye looked at Tian Qing in front of him, and surprisingly, he did not show any signs of anger or embarrassment. Chen Ye saw that he was sitting on the ground, looking completely indifferent.

However, this very situation successfully piqued Chen Ye's curiosity, and there was clearly an air of gossip about it.

Chen Ye then slowly walked to Tian Qing's side, looked up at him, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you can't say? You seem troubled?"

Before Chen Ye could react, he was still looking up at the living stone statue in front of him and asking a question when he heard a reply from his shoulder.

"I am waiting for my master," Tianqing replied.

At this moment, Chen Ye clearly felt a sudden heaviness in his left shoulder, which felt very real.

Chen Ye tilted his head and looked sideways at his left shoulder, where he saw a remnant spirit similar in size to Huang.

Chen Ye looked at Tianqing, whose entire body was emerald green. What was even more striking was that Tianqing's overall shape resembled a small dragon, with dragon horns and a tail as good evidence.

At this moment, Chen Ye was still holding two cyan curved daggers tightly in his hands, but he did not put the weapons away under these circumstances. Instead, he made Qingrui transform back into her human form.

Right after Chen Ye finished speaking, Qingrui immediately changed her form.

It transformed from an object into a human form.

Before Chen Ye could speak, Tian Qing, who was sitting on his left shoulder, stepped on his shoulder, grabbed Chen Ye's ear and hair, and finally arrived in front of Qing Rui as if crossing mountains and rivers.

Just as Chen Ye was about to speak angrily, he noticed that Tian Qing was actually shedding tears. These were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy, excitement, and exhilaration.

It was more like tears of a long-awaited reunion, because under Chen Ye's gaze, Tianqing transformed into a human form with the same physique as Qingrui, as if she had transformed from a child to a teenager.

After all, that's how Qingrui is.

"Qingrui, do you still remember who I am?" Tianqing asked expectantly.

Qingrui stared at Tianqing with a puzzled expression. "Do we know each other?"

Upon hearing this, Tianqing was initially stunned. His expectant expression instantly turned into one of pity, as if he were pitying Qingrui in her current state.

"As expected, it's still the same. Could it be that that incident really affected a lot of the future?" Tianqing couldn't help but doubt himself.

At that moment, Chen Ye noticed something amiss with Tian Qing's words. He quickly approached Tian Qing and asked, "What do you mean by saying that it affected many aspects of the future?"

Tian Qing did not explain, but instead walked around Chen Ye and returned to the living stone statue, turning around and sitting down.

Tian Qing glanced at Qing Rui's current appearance, then looked at Chen Ye again, and explained to him, "You can take what I'm about to say as nonsense, or just random ramblings."

"However, since I'm going to tell you this, I think it's very important for you to listen. Perhaps you'll find the answer you've always wanted to know in it."

"Just treat it as a story, that's all."

Chen Ye did not immediately refute, but instead sat down on the ground, preparing to listen quietly to this so-called "nonsense".

"I'm going to start speaking now."

"My name is Tianqing. I was originally a servant of the Huangying tribe, and my master and I fought endless battles against the enemy on the battlefield!"

"We emerged from the pile of corpses, repelled the enemy, and our master gained the favor and worship of his people!"

"At that time, I set my sights on my master, hoping to one day become like him!"

"However, the weather is unpredictable. I vaguely remember that it was an extremely clear morning, but before the people of the tribe could react, the sky suddenly turned dark."

"That day, the entire family experienced massive earthquakes in an instant, as if they were witnessing the end of the world."

"And on that very day, my master lost her only sister forever during her escape. That sister is you, Qingrui, right now."

Chen Ye turned his head sharply to look at Qing Rui in disbelief, while Qing Rui was even more unsure. But Tian Qing's next words shocked them both even more!

"Don't panic. At this moment, you are both the master's sister and not the master's sister."

"I'm not trying to say anything, you just look alike."

"So please, both of you, don't panic. Please allow me to continue."

Then Qingrui also took a few steps forward and came to Chen Ye's side, sitting down quietly and listening attentively to Tianqing's story.

"Since then, my master and I have been wandering the universe."

"We don't know whether it's been a few years, decades, or even thousands of years, but we've both lost a lot in terms of time."

"And it was under these circumstances that my master sensed something strange, as if it were calling to him. Under this call, my master saw a glimpse of the future from within the river of time."

"And after that, he started to go completely insane."

"I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly the owner left without saying goodbye, but left me with this place. The description on it was very vague, just a few simple words, which I didn't understand at the time."

"And now, I have seen Qingrui again, and with you."

"I think I roughly understand what it means."

"Master probably wants me to wait here for your arrival. After all, in those few simple words, he mentioned Rui, while the other two words were Huang and Ye."

"If it weren't for your arrival, I really wouldn't know how much longer I would have to wait to find out the answer left behind by my master."

At this moment, Chen Ye was somewhat confused after listening to Tian Qing's story, but there were some useful but strange points in it.

That's why Tianqing's master knew about Chen Ye and the others' arrival, and why he learned Qingrui's secret from Tianqing.

"Now that we know, we already know the general answer from three of those four characters."

"蕊" represents green buds.

"Huang, perhaps that is the one who vanished in an instant just now."

"Night, perhaps that word is you."

Tianqing analyzed the meaning of each character, and the last character, "来" (lai), might not represent the name, but rather signify an invitation.

However, Tianqing was not sure whether the word "come" represented the meaning he himself thought it meant, or perhaps Tianqing missed his master so much that he interpreted the word "come" as having that meaning.

Then Tianqing slowly stood up again, and before Chen Ye could react, he saw Tianqing walk towards him and explain, "Please tell me your name."

"Chen Ye".

"If you're willing, please take me with you. Please don't ask me why. If you need a reason, it's that I miss my master and I want to see him," Tianqing asked pleadingly.

Chen Ye replied without hesitation, "No problem. If you're willing, I'm happy to take you away from here!"

When Chen Ye quickly uttered those words, Tian Qing couldn't believe that the person in front of him had agreed so readily, without any hesitation or reservations.

Welcome to my big family!
