Chapter 290

Deep in the night, Lingyun stood alone in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky.

It seemed that because this was deep in the mountains and there was not much air pollution, the stars in the sky here appeared exceptionally bright. Lingyun looked at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Master, it's so late, why are you still not sleeping?" Luo Yexi pushed open her room door and walked out, looking at Lingyun in the courtyard with some confusion.

"I still have some things to do, you go to sleep first!" Lingyun waved his hand toward Luo Yexi.

Luo Yexi responded and then closed her room door.

Lingyun released his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings and found that no one was paying attention to this place, so he stepped forward slowly. After this step was taken, Lingyun's figure suddenly disappeared from where he was, as if he had stepped into an unknown space with this step.

Heavenly Dao Space.

Only to see the void ripple, and Lingyun's figure slowly emerged. As soon as he appeared from the void, Lingyun furrowed his brows; his intuition told him that this Heavenly Dao Space had undergone great changes compared to the last time he came.

Looking around, the Heavenly Dao Light Wheel did not appear, which deepened the doubt in Lingyun's heart. One must know that the Heavenly Dao Light Wheel regarded him as a formidable enemy; now that he suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Dao Space, it was no different from directly entering the lair of the Heavenly Dao Light Wheel. If it were in the past, the Heavenly Dao Light Wheel would absolutely have appeared in this place at the first moment, but now Lingyun had stayed here for so long, yet he hadn't even seen a shadow of the Heavenly Dao Light Wheel.

"It's truly strange; what kind of tricks is that fellow Heavenly Dao playing again?" Lingyun furrowed his brows and flew toward the center of the Heavenly Dao Space. "Even if I gave it a sword last time, it shouldn't have shrunk into the center of the space and not dared to come out, right!"

"Mm, this is? A castle? Why would a castle appear in the Heavenly Dao Space?" When Lingyun went deep into the Heavenly Dao Space, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. "No, this castle, why does it give me a very familiar feeling? Where have I seen it before?"

"Hum—" Just as Lingyun was examining this castle, a terrifying fluctuation came from the castle.

"This, something is not right!" Lingyun couldn't help but furrow his brows.

The fluctuation just now was clearly something that would only be produced when the Heavenly Dao revived; could it be that the Heavenly Dao had actually fallen into a deep sleep before? Moreover, from this fluctuation, Lingyun could perceive that the strength of the Heavenly Dao avatar here had actually improved by a large margin. However, this fluctuation also gave him a feeling that was both strange and familiar.

"The Heavenly Dao avatar here is absolutely not the light wheel from before!" Lingyun could already draw a conclusion now.

Just as Lingyun was thinking about what had happened to the Heavenly Dao avatar here, a little girl holding a doll suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Who are you?" Looking at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, the vigilance in Lingyun's heart had already been raised to the highest level; a person who could appear in front of him like this was nine times out of ten the Heavenly Dao.

The girl holding the doll rubbed her somewhat hazy sleepy eyes and looked at the person in front of her. Because she followed the instructions of that adult, she had been lifting the sealing restrictions left by the Heavenly Dao Light Wheel in this world for the past period of time, and at the same time, she had to use the power of that adult to separate this world from the Primordial World. These two things were not easy things; after she finished these two things, she returned to the castle and entered a state of deep sleep because she was too exhausted. If Lingyun hadn't suddenly broken into the Heavenly Dao Space, I'm afraid she wouldn't have woken up.

Youruo, after seeing the person in front of her clearly, felt an impulse surge in her heart, and then she suddenly pounced toward Lingyun.

Seeing the girl pounce toward him, Lingyun's first reaction was to gather his Divine Sense to prepare for defense. But when he saw that the girl was just pouncing toward him purely, he subconsciously lifted his defense and then reached out to hug the girl.

"Brother." The girl who pounced into Lingyun's arms rubbed against Lingyun's chest hard and spoke in a soft, glutinous voice.

"Brother?" Lingyun couldn't help but be stunned; he could now be certain that this girl absolutely had nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao, because the Heavenly Dao absolutely could not do this kind of thing.

Looking at the girl in his arms, an image flashed through Lingyun's mind. The people in the image were two little children; one seemed to be himself, and the other person's appearance was somewhat blurry, unable to see clearly who she was. The place they were in should have been the orphanage from the past.

"You, why do you call me Brother?" Lingyun gently pushed away Youruo in his arms and asked softly.

"Youruo doesn't know either, but there has always been a voice in my heart telling me that Brother is the brother Youruo has been looking for all along." Youruo's little hands grabbed Lingyun's clothes tightly, seemingly afraid that he would disappear.

"You don't know?" Lingyun's brows furrowed all at once; one must know that Youruo was the Heavenly Dao of this world now, and she actually had such a thing as incomplete memory, which was simply unbelievable. However, his intuition told him that Youruo was not lying.

Seeing the disbelief in Lingyun's eyes, Youruo became anxious all at once: "Brother, I didn't lie to you. It's just that when I try hard to recall these things, I am always interfered with by a powerful force, so I have never been able to find the reason."

"I know, it's just that this kind of thing is truly too inconceivable, and I find it a bit hard to accept for a moment." Lingyun subconsciously reached out his hand and rubbed her head.

Youruo squinted her eyes, and an expression of enjoyment subconsciously appeared on her face. Looking at this scene, that familiar feeling of Lingyun's became even stronger. Youruo leaned her body into Lingyun's arms, and Youruo told him bit by bit about the things that had happened to her during this period of time.

If according to the situation Youruo was currently showing, she should be a friend from his time in the orphanage. What made him feel strange was that after so many years, Youruo was still in the appearance of a little child. Most importantly, what was the identity of that adult she spoke of, actually being able to let her become the Heavenly Dao. Youruo tried to simulate the image of that woman in front of him, but it always ended in failure.

Examining Youruo carefully, Lingyun discovered another thing: Youruo's appearance was actually the loli version of Xiao Xiaoxiao. No wonder when he saw Xiao Xiaoxiao, he always had a familiar feeling. If he followed this line, maybe he could really make some discoveries.

"Youruo, do you know your life story?" Lingyun asked softly.

"I don't know." Youruo shook her head with some sadness. "And now I cannot leave this space for the time being, and I cannot use my own power to investigate for the time being."

"Is that so? Then I'll go and scout it out for you when the time comes, okay?" Lingyun touched Youruo's head.

"Mm." Youruo nodded hard, revealing a big smile on her face.

Lingyun hugged Youruo and landed in the castle, finding a patch of grass to sit down. Youruo's hand waved, and the sky of the castle flickered for a while, then turned into the starry sky of the outside world. After finishing this thing, Youruo tucked her body into Lingyun's arms, and the two looked at the starry sky quietly, looking like there was a small warmth.

Not until Youruo fell asleep in Lingyun's arms did Lingyun carefully hug Youruo into the castle and place her on her small bed. After finishing this thing, Lingyun's body swayed slightly and disappeared from the Heavenly Dao Space.
