Rarely did Mo Yan allow her to go out for a walk one day.
Zhao Shuning packed her luggage that very night.
Since this was 500 years ago and there were no Qiankun Pouches yet, Zhao Shuning made one herself according to the method her master had taught her before.
On the day she was leaving, Mo Yan had just finished discussing important matters and then rushed over to see her off.
When he saw her, the smile on Mo Yan's face grew even broader.
Zhao Shuning asked in confusion, "Is there something to be happy about?"
Mo Yan nodded.
"Three months from now, Loulan and Ruoqiang will send their most outstanding disciples to Changkong Academy. At that time, you can go along."
Zhao Shuning said, "You're so happy just because of this?"
Mo Yan looked serious.
"Qiuqiu, maybe I haven't told you this. You were supposed to be the second daughter of the Luo family. But because you were born with the mark of our Loulan, you were regarded as an inauspicious person. Your so - called father even wanted to kill you after Luo Feiyan's full - moon feast. It was us who saved you."
Zhao Shuning remained calm on the surface. She already knew this, but Mo Yan probably didn't know that she wasn't the so - called Luo Qiu.
"Qiuqiu, you don't have to take that kind of father to heart. He didn't want you and regarded you as a disaster. But all the subjects of our Loulan will respect you as an honored guest. From that full - moon feast on, you and Ruoqiang are completely cut off. You're no longer the young lady of the Marquis Mansion in Ruoqiang. Am I right?"
Zhao Shuning thought that if she were really Luo Qiu and treated like this by her father, she might have the same thoughts.
So she nodded.
"What does this have to do with my going to Changkong Academy?"
"Of course it does."
The smile on Mo Yan's face became even more radiant.
"You're the pride of our Loulan. I dare say that among the Nine - Province Continent, you're the number one woman. Although Luo Feiyan, the eldest daughter of the Luo family, is extremely beautiful, I've heard that she has no spiritual roots. Although she bears the title of the Heavenly Maiden of Ruoqiang, she has no real abilities. Her character is also extremely weak, not like her mother Ye Qingluan who dared to love and hate."
Zhao Shuning didn't dare to nod.
After all, she was just an impostor "Luo Qiu".
The real one was the cowardly "Luo Feiyan" from the Marquis Mansion.
"Qiuqiu, you don't have to be afraid, and you don't have to be kind to that woman. Although she's your nominal elder sister, her fortune and abilities are far inferior to yours. If you get the chance when you go there, you can get rid of her first. This will also remove a great concern for our Loulan."
It seemed that Mo Yan still firmly believed in that prophecy.
"Mo Yan, let's not talk about these things for now. I'll act according to the situation when I get to Changkong Academy."
Come on, if she dared to touch the real Luo Qiu, she might not even know how she died in the future.
At this moment, Zhao Shuning didn't realize that she might not be someone who had intruded into history. Maybe she was the very person in history.
Mo Yan gave her some more instructions and told her many things before finally letting her go.
When she was leaving, Mo Yan wanted to hug her, but Zhao Shuning's heart was no longer on the person in front of her. She didn't look back and showed no trace of nostalgia.
The Wuwang Sea.
The place that concealed countless secrets. She had finally come.
Along the way, Zhao Shuning passed by many places, saw a lot of beautiful scenery, and experienced different customs.
During this period, she saw many cute little divine beasts.
When passing by a great river and mountain, she casually rescued a very ugly baby bird. There were wounds all around the bird's beak, and it was huddled in a cave.
Zhao Shuning thought that it was probably because it was too dark in the cave, so the bird couldn't see clearly and bumped into things, which led to all those wounds.
So before she left, Zhao Shuning specially left a night - pearl in the cave.
Apart from this bird, Zhao Shuning also met an old man. The old man gasped for breath when walking and could hardly say a few words to others. But when he saw Zhao Shuning, his eyes sparkled, and he insisted on giving Zhao Shuning something.
Although it was called something, Zhao Shuning couldn't even see what it was. When she wanted to ask the old man for clarification, the old man had already disappeared.
As the old man disappeared, the purple bead around Zhao Shuning's neck glowed faintly.
Along the way, these two things were the most strange.
The rest were relatively normal.
When she got near Haiyou City, Zhao Shuning found the key to the Wuwang Sea and then followed the wave and entered the Wuwang Sea.
The Wuwang Sea at this time was completely different from what she had seen in the ancient well in Haiyou City before.
The land here was vast. Besides bamboo, there were also many flowers, plants, and trees. And more amazingly, in this world, there were not only the female mermaid clan but also many humans living here.
Zhao Shuning slowly entered from the exit. The prosperity in front of her was really enviable. Thinking of the tragic situation of the female mermaid clan many years later, she couldn't help sighing. She didn't know if she could prevent that tragedy from happening this time.
There was a bustling crowd ahead. Zhao Shuning wandered around the small town near the Wuwang Sea for a long time.
Then at night, the people here gradually dispersed.
Living by the sea, the weather at night was also changeable. After midnight, there were very few people on the street.
Zhao Shuning had the Red Lotus in her body, so she wasn't afraid of the cold.
She wanted to find some clues in the Wuwang Sea, so she slowly walked towards the sea tide.
She walked along the sea for a long time.
Maybe she was a bit tired, so Zhao Shuning took off her shoes and jumped onto an ancient tree by the sea.
Sitting on the huge branch of the ancient tree, with the sea breeze blowing in her face, Zhao Shuning closed her eyes contentedly.
The bells on her feet tinkled as the sea breeze blew.
Everything seemed so wonderful.
Until a nice and extremely familiar voice came.
"Sitting so high up, is the view better?"
Zhao Shuning turned around.
It was already midnight.
The bright moon hung high in the sky.
Behind her, a man in a cyan robe, with peerless beauty, held a long flute in his hand, and a snow - white divine beast followed beside him.
When he saw the young girl turn around, the man's heart skipped a beat. The way the young girl looked at him was the first time in so many years that someone had made his heart stir.
The young girl wore a veil, and a red veil covered her body.
There was a beautiful red tasseled gem on her forehead. Her black hair fluttered down to her waist. Under the red veil, her graceful figure was faintly visible. The bells on her feet made her look extremely playful.
Master?
It was really Master!
But Master at this time seemed different from the one she had seen.
Zhao Shuning's eyes misted. She really missed her master.
So she reached out her hand to the Yan Ruyu in front of her.
