Jiang Yuebai went to see Xie Jingshan. This time he did not lose his memory, nor did he pretend to drink. His injuries had been healed in Shanhai Tower.
He seemed as if nothing had happened, still as cheerful as before, chatting and laughing with Song Zhiang and the others.
Seeing him like this, everyone didn't dare to mention Shen Huaixi's matter.
But Jiang Yuebai would not deliberately avoid anything. She spoke frankly and asked directly. Only then did Xie Jingshan unable to hold back his sadness and lamentation, and said that he absolutely did not believe that Shen Huaixi was a bad person.
Because it was Shen Huaixi who secretly spread the rumor to Shanhai Tower, Xie Jingshan was able to bring people to rescue Yun Shang in time.
In fact, no one believed that Shen Huaixi was a bad person, because in the past six months, they often discussed and learned from each other, and had a certain understanding of each other. When Shen Huaixi saw baby birds in the wild, he would carefully send them back to the nest. Everyone felt that it was Qingnangzi who coerced Shen Huaixi.
Jiang Yuebai didn't want to say more. He asked Song Zhiang, He Wangchen and the others to take good care of Xie Jingshan, and left with Lu Nanzhi.
The incident of Qing Nangzi cast a dark cloud over everyone's hearts. Who could have thought that the Yuanying Zhenjun who saved people in the sect would be a cruel and evil cultivator
The death of Yunchang's parents also made everyone feel anxious. During that period of time afterwards, everyone practiced and studied silently, and studied martial arts and magic, hoping that they would not be so helpless next time they encountered similar things.
Yun Shang was not seriously injured, but she refused to speak, locked herself in her room, and cried every day.
This time there was no grudge between her and Yu Qiuchi, and Yu Qiuchi could still accompany her as her aunt.
A month later, Li Jiuchuan suddenly told Jiang Yuebai that he was going to go to the Witch Clan in person to find Grandma Shilan as soon as possible. Even if it meant bearing the consequences and karma, he wanted to get rid of Qing Nangzi as soon as possible.
Jiang Yuebai knew that she couldn't stop it, and she simply didn't have the energy to do anything now. Her heart was filled with confusion and entanglement, and she didn't know what was the right thing to do.
Li Jiuchuan saw that she was confused, so he sent her to Tianxian Peak where the Grand Elder lived, and told her to serve the Grand Elder at Tianxian Peak until he came back and not to run around.
Before leaving, Li Jiuchuan gave her a storage bracelet, which contained all the supplies she needed to practice to the foundation-building stage, as well as several magical weapons for self-defense.
The most important thing is the natal magic weapon, the Five Elements Lotus Platform, which was prepared in advance.
"Master, if you don't come back within five years, I will take Master Fuyi as my master."
When seeing Li Jiuchuan off from Tianxian Peak, Jiang Yuebai pulled Li Jiuchuan's sleeve and said.
Li Jiuchuan smiled dotingly and rubbed Jiang Yuebai's head. "Don't worry, your master will still protect you and build your foundation. He will definitely return safely. Stay with the Grand Elder. Although she is a little lazy, she sees many things more thoroughly than us. If you have any doubts, you can ask her."
Jiang Yuebai nodded and watched his master set up a beam of light and leave.
It was not until the master's figure completely disappeared into the horizon that Jiang Yuebai looked back reluctantly and scanned the desolate and overgrown Tianxian Peak.
The weeds were taller than she was!
Touching the magic hatchet hanging behind her waist, Jiang Yuebai finally sighed and thought, it doesn't matter, the grass will grow again after being cut, and she can't weed here every day.
Jiang Yuebai trudged through the weeds and walked all the way back to the top of Tianxian Peak.
The main hall was still the same shabby hall with missing bricks and tiles, covered with moss, and walls covered with vines.
There should have been a square at the entrance of the main hall, but now weeds were growing out from the cracks between the bricks, and there was no trace of the square at all. The three-legged tripod in the center of the square had been corroded by time and had become a squirrel's nest for storing winter food.
When Jiang Yuebai passed by, the little squirrel inside popped its head out to look at her. Their eyes met, and after a difficult psychological struggle, the little squirrel finally went in, took out a peanut, and handed it to Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai reached out to take it, but the squirrel shrank back.
This probably means that if you take advantage of it, you can't dig up its nest.
Under the ancient evergreen tree in the distance, Wen Miao was still reeking of alcohol, lying in a sloppy rocking chair. Her rocking chair seemed to be integrated with the earth, with vines growing from the ground entwined around it, blooming small purple flowers with a fragrant aroma.
Jiang Yuebai walked over, took out the cushion and sat next to Wen Miao.
"You are quite familiar with me, hiccup~"
Wen Miao burped and spoke in a lazy tone.
Jiang Yuebai sat on the futon with his back hunched. "Grand Elder, have you ever regretted anything since you started practicing?"
"Of course."
"If you have the opportunity to make up for these regrets, will you do it?"
Wen Miao opened her eyes and tilted her head to look at Jiang Yuebai.
"What on earth do you want to say, little girl?"
Jiang Yuebai lowered his head and pinched his hands, "I'm just asking out of curiosity."
Wen Miao turned her head, looked at the treetops above her head, and said casually, "I can't."
"Why?" Jiang Yuebai turned around and lay beside Wen Miao.
Wen Miao drunkenly stared at the treetops above her head, "It's impossible for a person to have all the good things in his life. The Heaven is not your father, so it's normal to have regrets."
"Moreover, it is precisely because of the existence of regrets that I am who I am. Suffering gives people the power to grow. For cultivators like me, the cause and effect of everything is very important, so any changes must be made with caution."
"Just like the floating stairs, they are also built up one stone slab at a time. What are these stone slabs? They are the sufferings you have experienced and the regrets in your life."
"You've learned a lesson from your failure. What will happen if you pull a piece out of it for no reason? Do I need to tell you?"
Jiang Yuebai's eyes gradually deepened. The truth was simple and she understood it, but when it came to her...
Even though she has the ability, it is still difficult for her to ignore it.
Wen Miao glanced at her and said, "Tao follows nature. Everyone has his own destiny. Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all blessings from heaven. Little girl, although I don't know what you are worried about, your master has repeatedly asked me to enlighten you. Since it is about regret and change, then I will tell you a story."
Jiang Yuebai sat upright with a deep look in his eyes.
No matter in the past life or this life, the Supreme Elder has always been her guide on the road of cultivation. Even though she has caught up with him in her previous life, in terms of age and life experience, she is still just a child in front of the Supreme Elder who is seven or eight hundred years old.
Wen Miao rocked the rocking chair and said slowly, "Your master should have told you that Sect Master Wen Ci is my sister. She was ordered to be the Sect Master of Tianyan Sect because she was injured in a battle with someone and could no longer advance."
Jiang Yuebai nodded.
"So what kind of person do you think the sect leader is?" Wen Miao asked.
Jiang Yuebai said without hesitation, "The sect master is very kind. She does everything slowly. Although she always likes to say that she will punish people, she is always very gentle to others. She may have some omissions in managing the sect, but she is a very kind person. You can tell by how she treats Master Fuyi."
Wen Miao snorted and laughed, "Yeah, no one would have thought that she was completely different before she got hurt than she is now. It can be said that she is completely two different people."
