Zhao Shuning dared to open the door.
The people outside immediately lunged forward.
Zhao Shuning quickly stepped aside.
A chorus of voices immediately rang out.
"Ouch—It hurts! Hurts!"
"You're crushing me."
"You stepped on my foot."
"Senior brother, you should lose weight."
"Your clothes got caught in my hair."
Zhao Shuning stood aside, looking puzzled.
It took those young boys and girls quite some effort to stand up.
"What kind of behavior is this?" Kong Shishuang shouted angrily. The young boys and girls quickly lowered their heads.
"What's going on? What were you doing outside?"
"We just wanted to know senior sister's name."
Zhao Shuning pointed at herself in confusion, and the others nodded.
Kong Shishuang nodded and said, "It's just as you thought."
"Yeah!"
"See, I told you senior sister must be that child prodigy back then. You didn't believe me."
"Senior sister is really beautiful now."
"She's also very capable."
"Senior sister, you won't leave after you come back to the Misty Rain Tower this time, right?"
"Senior sister, I read in a book that you like to eat. I'm really good at cooking. If you want to eat anything in the future, just tell me."
Zhao Shuning smiled.
Looking at the youthful faces of those kids.
Many of them should be just over ten years old at this time, in the prime of their lives. Back then, when she first came to the Misty Rain Tower, she wasn't as excited and lively as they were now.
"Could you please make way?"
Several people quickly stood aside.
Zhao Shuning walked out.
As soon as she left, the situation got even more out of control.
Kong Shishuang was quite helpless but didn't stop them. She could only stand there and sigh.
After leaving the main building, Zhao Shuning went to every corner of the Misty Rain Tower. When she came here before, she was very young.
So in her memory, everything in the Misty Rain Tower seemed so tall.
Now that she was revisiting the old place, many things were different from what she had imagined.
Just like this.
Zhao Shuning stayed in the Misty Rain Tower for five days.
During this time, she would often go to check on how those kids were recovering. When necessary, she would even use her inner energy to soothe their meridians.
Everyone also learned from Kong Shishuang that Zhao Shuning was leaving after five days. They all felt a bit disappointed.
On the fifth day.
Ye Xingrui found Zhao Shuning.
After hesitating for a long time, he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Senior sister."
"What's up?"
"I heard from the tower master that you're leaving?"
"Yeah."
"Senior sister, can I go with you?"
Zhao Shuning shook her head.
Actually, at first, she planned to take Ye Xingrui under her wing. But in these few days, she found that Ye Xingrui got along very well with the senior brothers in the Misty Rain Tower, so she gave up this idea.
"Senior sister, I can endure hardships."
"Take me with you, okay?"
Zhao Shuning still shook her head.
"Xiaorui, if you go with me, it will be very difficult for you to see these senior brothers in the future. Have you thought it through?"
Ye Xingrui fell silent.
Zhao Shuning added, "Many things can be taken slowly. I know that the Ye family has declined now, and you have no relatives around you. The senior brothers and sisters in the Misty Rain Tower have taken good care of you. These years are the best time for you to get along with them. After these years, you will be separated and it will be very difficult to meet again."
This was true.
Among the people in the Water Cloud Cottage back then, Se Se and Shuang Er were the closest to her. But so many years had passed, and they still hadn't seen each other.
"Senior sister—"
"If you really want to follow me, let's talk about it after you graduate from the Misty Rain Tower."
"Senior sister, do you mean you're willing to take me as your apprentice?"
Ye Xingrui's young face was filled with a big smile.
Zhao Shuning nodded.
"I'm not going to be your master. I've also led a group of kids like you before. You can call me sister just like they did."
Sister?
This title was so intimate.
Ye Xingrui felt that he wasn't qualified to call senior sister like this for now.
He bowed deeply to Zhao Shuning.
Then he said seriously, "Senior sister, I will never let you down. I, Ye Xingrui, the descendant of the royal family, will definitely—"
"Okay, I know. You can go now."
Ye Xingrui scratched his head and then walked out.
When Zhao Shuning left, she just said goodbye to Kong Shishuang. Xiaoli was looking at Zhao Shuning pitifully beside her.
But with the Phoenix there, Zhao Shuning had to hold back her itchy right hand.
"I'll go first. I'll wait for you up ahead."
Zhao Shuning nodded.
After the Phoenix left.
Zhao Shuning immediately stroked Xiaoli and said goodbye to it. Then she hurriedly left the Misty Rain Tower.
Outside, when the Phoenix saw Zhao Shuning coming out.
It had actually smelled the scent of that Lotus Green Silk Cat on Zhao Shuning's hand, but it just raised its head and didn't say anything.
"Where to?"
"Chang'an, the capital. Before that, let's go to Linjiang first."
Linjiang was where the Zhao family was now.
Come to think of it, Zhao Shuning really felt that she was quite unfilial. She was so obsessed with Bu Ran's beauty every day that she didn't even go back to the Zhao family to visit her parents first.
She had been missing for so long.
She didn't know what they would think.
Because she was going home, Zhao Shuning's steps became much lighter.
Zhao Shuning's feelings for Lin Min'er and Zhao Zheng were different from those for Ye Qingluan and Luo Hao.
Although she was born to Ye Qingluan and Ye Qingluan treated her very well, she still couldn't compare to Lin Min'er. The companionship that Lin Min'er gave Zhao Shuning was extremely real.
Unlike Ye Qingluan, who had accompanied Luo Qiu since childhood.
Speaking of Luo Qiu, she didn't know if she was still alive.
Since she saw her in the cave on Qingyun Peak last time, she had never had a chance to find her again.
That girl had lived for so many years. Why did she become more and more silent?
Logically speaking, such a beauty should be the top existence in this plane.
"Let's go. First, go to Linjiang. By the way, ask about the Qi Mansion for Xiaoyu."
"Okay."
Zhao Shuning lightly jumped and landed on the Phoenix's back. The Phoenix spread its wings and soared into the sky, flying for thousands of miles.
At the same time.
A very sensational thing happened above the Ghost Domain.
This was an extremely damp and dim place.
Countless tree roots were intertwined, forming a huge hanging basket.
Lying in the hanging basket was a man.
Beside the man was Mo Yan.
Those tree roots continuously transmitted a certain kind of power, which was constantly being transported into the body of the black - clothed man.
Finally, the man showed some signs of movement. After Mo Yan called out to him several times, Mo Bai finally woke up.
After waking up, Mo Bai's eyes were dull, and the shape of a tiger sometimes appeared on his forehead.
Seeing this, Mo Yan quickly mobilized a powerful spiritual power, which finally made Mo Bai's eyes clear.
Looking at the source direction of this spiritual power.
It really surprised people!
