Chapter 660

"Can you still contact Chang Ying now?" Jiang Ruyi asked.

Tian Tian's eyes dimmed, and she slowly shook her head: "Yingying talks less after advancing to the River Estuary Realm, and doesn't like to pay attention to people much.

Since she went on a pilgrimage, I send her messages, and she doesn't reply to me..."

Looking at the girl's sad little appearance, Jiang Ruyi explained softly: "People's temperaments will change somewhat after advancing to the River Estuary Realm."

I won't!

Tian Tian lowered her head, secretly clenching her small fists.

If I advance to the River Estuary Realm, I definitely won't change!

I will still cherish everyone in the team like now, love everyone...

The forever obedient girl rarely had her own will; she had been arranged from childhood to adulthood, and her feelings were insignificant.

Until her sophomore year, a ray of light shone into her life.

At that time, she was ruthlessly kicked out by the school's second-ranked top student team.

Such a shameful thing attracted many strange expressions and mocking eyes from classmates.

By a twist of fate, she was arranged to try out for Goddess Jiang's team.

The school's top-ranked team.

Tian Tian was prepared to be disliked and rejected, and also knew that she couldn't climb high for such a team.

Unexpectedly, the gentle Sister Ruyi accepted her.

And always encouraged her.

Not just warmth, but respect.

In this team, Tian Tian found that her voice could be heard.

Her feelings were important.

At least, Jiang Ruyi and the others cared about her.

Tian Tian would always remember the day she joined the team; it was at the martial arts field behind the school.

Timid, she was brought by the head teacher to Jiang Ruyi.

That day, the sun was just right.

Shining on Jiang Ruyi, it seemed to plate her with a layer of golden light, making her look like a shining goddess statue.

Goddess Jiang smiled gently, looked at the lotus shield she summoned, and said, "From now on, you can be by my side and protect me."

She thought.

Wanted to very, very much.

But she couldn't keep up with the pace, was left further and further behind, until she could no longer see the back of the goddess statue.

To this day, Tian Tian's phone unlock password is still the day she joined the team.

180607.

June 7, 2018, lunar calendar.

It was the day she met Jiang Ruyi, Lu Ran, and Deng Yutang.

The girl's little secret was hidden in the six-digit password, hidden in the small fist she was clenching tightly at this moment.

Hidden in the overly excited hug on the rooftop just now.

Also hidden in every dead of night, looking at the avatar on the phone that would never send a message again, and the time spent in a daze...

"I also had a big change in personality after advancing, ignoring you." Jiang Ruyi looked at Tian Tian, who was lowering her head and not speaking, and said softly, "Blame me?"

"No." Tian Tian's eyes were firm, and she shook her head.

You are the person I want to protect.

How could I blame you?

Perhaps, you were just saying it casually back then and had long forgotten that sentence.

But I still remember.

Always remember...

"Hmm." Jiang Ruyi showed a faint smile, her slender hand falling on Tian Tian's head, tidying the girl's short hair.

Tian Tian closed her eyes, feeling the real touch, that gentle palm...

"Whoosh!!"

A violent energy fluctuation surged from Tian Tian's body.

Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

Lu Ran also turned his head to look, his expression surprised.

No!

You just turned to the Xiang Xianyang sect, I haven't signed a contract with you yet, haven't let you bind with a stone sculpture!

You... this...?

So, Tian Tian's talent and aptitude were enough, it's just that her realization hadn't been profound enough?

That's not right either!

What realization could Tian Tian have from the conversation of a few people just now?

What exactly was Tian Tian's Dao heart?

Speaking of which, Lord Xiang Xianyang is too strong, right? He really tore up the contract "without injury"?!

Hmm... after all, Tian Tian is only Jiang Jing, still a mortal, with a qualitative difference from those River Estuary and Sea Realm experts.

At the same time, at the exit of Ye Yucheng Airport.

A tall figure dragged a small black suitcase out, attracting secret glances from the crowd.

She had long hair draped over her shoulders, wore a sun hat and toad sunglasses, wore a black long dress, stepped on high-heeled sandals, and looked around nonchalantly.

Until she saw a man picking up passengers, holding a sign with the word "Qiao" in his hand.

She knew this man, Wen Yang.

He was one of the few Jiang Jing experts in the Xiang Xianyang sect, and also the grandson-in-law of Grandpa Cheng Yi.

"Hello, Ms. Qiao." Wen Yang saw the girl walking over and hurriedly took the suitcase handle.

Qiao Yuanxi followed Wen Yang out and asked: "Grandpa Cheng called me here, what's the matter?"

Wen Yang was a bit nervous, responding respectfully to the 19-year-old girl: "Ms. Qiao, I don't know, I was just sent to pick you up."

While speaking, Wen Yang secretly sighed at the girl's changes.

Before, when the Lu Zongzhu and his wife were cultivating in the mountains, he helped pick up people more than once, and of course, he had also carried the Lu Zongzhu's sister.

At that time, Qiao Yuanxi was still a lively girl, but now...

Wen Yang could feel that the girl had reached the River Estuary Realm, and in every word and action, there was a faint sense of oppression.

The girl was no longer the cute appearance from before.

The ponytail had become long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a black long dress, without the cute style of the past.

The powerful aura was awe-inspiring.

Logically speaking, the group of Flower Lantern disciples generally wasn't cold.

Don't know why, the Lu Zongzhu's sister would become like this.

"This way, Ms. Qiao."

"Hmm." Qiao Yuanxi responded casually, followed the man out the door, and then raised her head slightly.

Not only her, many people were looking at the northern sky.

There, thick clouds and mist gathered, and there were even mist tornadoes descending from the sky, connecting to a towering mountain peak.

"It seems your Xiang Xianyang sect is going to have another expert." Qiao Yuanxi placed one hand on the side of her face, slightly pulling down her toad sunglasses, as if wanting to see more clearly.

Wen Yang: "..."

Looking at the direction connected by the mist tornado, it was indeed Lady Luo Xianshan.

But how could it be a Xiang Xianyang sect disciple advancing?

It should be the soldiers stationed at the mountainside, or some friend brought back by Lady Lady Luo Xian who returned to the mountain two days ago?

Wen Yang thought secretly, quickly put the suitcase in the trunk, and hurriedly opened the back door for Qiao Yuanxi.

Qiao Yuanxi rarely had a smile, joking: "Grandpa Cheng isn't calling me over to receive a blessing, is he?"

"I... I don't know."

"Hmm, drive."

"Yes." Wen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and started the car steadily.

Qiao Yuanxi leaned her elbows on the window frame, supported her face with the back of her hand, looking at the street scene retreating outside the window, her mind full of memories.

Lady Luo Xianshan, including Rainy Alley City, were places she didn't want to go to.

Even the home in the capital, she was a bit resistant to returning to.

There were too many warm scenes.

So it hurt.

Anyway, Mom wasn't home on weekdays, so it didn't matter if she went home or not.

No one cared either.

Qiao Yuanxi thought silently, one hand fell on her neck, her fingertips gently twisting the warm, moist bead.

Stinky brother!

Threw down a bead and ran away, don't know if we can meet again in this life.

And Sister Ruyi!

Also a stinky sister.

Brother left, feelings reset to zero.

Didn't answer the phone, didn't reply to messages, and couldn't be found in Lady Luo Xianshan.

"Has Lady Lady Luo Xian returned?" Qiao Yuanxi suddenly asked.

"Ms. Qiao, I don't know, Lady Luo Xian Residence is a restricted area, not allowed for me..."

"Fine." Qiao Yuanxi was a bit impatient.

Wen Yang immediately shut up, driving silently, feeling very much like "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger."

Until the vehicle arrived at the foot of the mountain, Wen Yang could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and then he thought that he still had to accompany the Qiao family's daughter up the mountain...

Climbing the mountain, worshipping the gods, entering the back mountain.

Until arriving in front of a magnificent gate in the village, Wen Yang immediately said: "Ms. Qiao, the Respecting Immortal Hall is on the right side after entering the gate; you can wait there.

I'll go put the luggage in your residence."

Qiao Yuanxi responded with a casual "Hmm" and walked into the gate.

The large venue covered with stone bricks was empty.

On the right hand side was the open Respecting Immortal Hall, and the hall was also empty.

Qiao Yuanxi looked at the Xiang Xianyang stone sculpture in the depths of the hall, and raised her head slightly, looking at the area connected by the mist tornado in the northeast.

She hesitated for a moment, but still walked toward the quiet and solemn Respecting Immortal Hall.

Stepping in, she felt that the hundreds of small Xiang Xianyang sculptures on the walls on both sides were all staring at her.

Enough to make one's hair stand on end.

Qiao Yuanxi was calm, her pace unhurried, and she came to the stone statue in the deepest part of the hall:

"Sorry to disturb you, Lord Xiang Xianyang."

The girl of the past indeed had the demeanor of an expert.

No longer playful, she showed a trace of elegant temperament in every move.

However, in those bright eyes, there seemed to be a lack of agility.

Qiao Yuanxi picked up the incense on the table, carefully selected three sticks, and lit them in front of the candlestick.

After three respectful bows, Qiao Yuanxi inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then came to the prayer mat and knelt down.

"Lord Xiang Xianyang, please bless my brother to be safe and smooth."

"Yuanxi... Yuanxi no longer hopes for him to come back quickly, just pray that he is safe."

"Just pray that he is safe..."

The girl put her hands together, her fingertips against her lips, whispering softly.

It was just that the pleading words gradually turned into talking to herself.

"He is still alive, right? Lord Xiang Xianyang, he must still be alive."

"He is your proud disciple, the Great Xia genius, he will be fine, he will be safe."

"Has he thought of me? Yuanxi misses him very much..."

The girl's voice was very light.

It made people's hearts feel sour.

"Sss..." Qiao Yuanxi, who was immersed in her own world, suddenly widened her eyes and took a sharp breath.

It was as if a string in her brain had been cut off!

Her connection with God: Flower Lantern was severed.

"Lord... Lord Xiang Xianyang... you!" Qiao Yuanxi was incomparably astonished, but quickly reacted, and couldn't help but be both surprised and angry, looking up at the god.

And that sheep face was still smiling.

"Why... why did Lord Xiang Xianyang..." Qiao Yuanxi's body stiffened, suddenly realizing that a hand had fallen on the top of her head.

But the problem was, there was no one beside her, it was empty!

Just at this time, a familiar voice rang out, very gentle:

"I miss you too."
