Both their gazes simultaneously looked towards Shangguan Huanling.
They truly opened their eyes at the same time, raised their heads at the same time; clearly two people, yet it was as if one person's soul was controlling two bodies.
"Huanling, why did you come?" Bai Qiulan asked.
Yue Hongling withdrew her hands and began to melt the frost.
"It's nothing, I just came to see you guys. It's been a long time since we met, and I'm a little lonely by myself." Shangguan Huanling said with a smile.
"But it doesn't matter, I can cross tribulation and go find Lu Ye Gege very soon."
Bai Qiulan looked at the radiant smile on Shangguan Huanling's face.
Hmm?
How come there's a feeling of happiness?
This kind of smile, to be honest, Bai Qiulan really hadn't seen for a very, very long time.
She hesitated slightly.
"Huanling, is there something joyful happening?"
Shangguan Huanling was startled. "No, I just cultivate and do business every day. How could there be anything joyful?"
"Then why are you smiling so happily?" Bai Qiulan didn't understand. She remembered that their group of people hadn't shown relaxed smiles for a very, very long time.
"Am I smiling happily? I didn't notice. Maybe it's because when I crossed Three Lifetimes Tribulation, I had a three-lifetime relationship with Lu Ye, so I'm this happy!"
Bai Qiulan...
Yue Hongling opened her eyes at this moment.
"When you crossed Three Lifetimes Tribulation, you just focused on dating Senior Brother?"
Shangguan Huanling nodded repeatedly, quite proud.
"Otherwise?"
"Don't you have any regrets?" Yue Hongling asked.
Shangguan Huanling thought for a moment.
"There are still some regrets, for example, I didn't protect my Father Emperor and Imperial Consort, and then there's cultivating the Path of Sentience until it collapsed. But now I have the Path of Sentience again, and it's even stronger than before."
"As for Father Emperor and Imperial Consort, as long as Lu Ye Gege and I fell in love early enough, they definitely wouldn't die."
"The reason they died is because Lu Ye Gege and I didn't fall in love early enough."
These words left both Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling silent.
At this moment, Yue Hongling was in a very special state. If you say she is Yue Hongling, she is indeed Yue Hongling.
The soul is Yue Hongling's, but the subconscious is Bai Qiulan's. Bai Qiulan can forcefully control Yue Hongling, or she can control her less intensely, choosing to subtly influence Yue Hongling.
She can even fabricate a large amount of memories that don't belong to Yue Hongling, distorting Yue Hongling's memories.
One can only say that the Nine Separation Soul Stealing Technique is incomparably terrifying.
"What kind of Three Lifetimes Tribulation did you two cross?" Shangguan Huanling asked curiously.
She hadn't noticed at all that there was something wrong with the two of them.
She also completely forgot the miserable cries she had just heard from Yue Hongling.
She simply hadn't talked to anyone else for a while, so she was chatting with familiar people here.
"It's not much different from the previous life, so there's nothing really to say." Bai Qiulan said with a smile.
"Ah, okay. By the way, have you seen Chu Ling? I sent her a message using a transmission stone, but she didn't reply." Shangguan Huanling asked.
Chu Ling is already dead.
Bai Qiulan looked at the simple Shangguan Huanling and ultimately didn't say it directly.
"Maybe she's in some secret realm, so she can't receive your transmission message." Bai Qiulan said.
"That's possible too. Bai Jiejie, when are you planning to ascend?" Shangguan Huanling asked.
"Not sure yet. What about you?"
"I'm not too sure either, but it will also take some time."
"Alright, it feels good to see you guys again. My mood is much better. I'll be going now. See you later!"
Shangguan Huanling had a smile on her face and waved at Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling.
"Okay, remember to be careful, be smart, and don't get tricked by people." Bai Qiulan said earnestly.
"Got it, Bai Jiejie. You're really a good person." Shangguan Huanling said happily.
Bai Qiulan's eyes were full of gentleness.
"Then I'm leaving!"
"Wait a moment!"
Yue Hongling suddenly spoke.
Shangguan Huanling was just about to fly away, but her body paused upon hearing this.
"Huanling, you're too naive. I'm really worried about you. Why don't you cultivate with us? This way, Master and I can also protect you. What do you think?" Yue Hongling said with a smile.
Shangguan Huanling thought for a moment.
"Hongling, you don't need to worry. I need to find resources. My cultivation method can't improve without resources. Thank you for your kind intentions."
Yue Hongling sighed upon hearing this.
"Alright, be careful. If there's any danger, you must remember to find us. Master and I are your strongest support."
Shangguan Huanling was very happy.
"Mhm mhm mhm, I remember. Bai Jiejie, Hongling, you guys are so nice!"
Shangguan Huanling left.
Carrying her good mood, she flew up into the sky.
The two watched her leave, both smiling.
"Let's continue!"
Bai Qiulan looked at Yue Hongling and said.
Yue Hongling nodded calmly and walked behind Bai Qiulan again.
Just as they were about to continue, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and Bai Qiulan's transmission stone vibrated.
Bai Qiulan frowned.
Why weren't β NΠΎvΠ΅lΞΉght β (Read the full story) there so many people looking for her before?
She picked up the transmission stone.
"Qiulan, Qiulan, where are you? Sister, I've ascended, and I've come to find you to play!"
A familiar voice rang out from the transmission stone.
It was... Sun Ruowei?
How did she ascend so quickly?
Bai Qiulan was startled. Their cultivation speed was fast because of reincarnation, powerful cultivation methods, strong aptitude, and knowing many opportunities.
But Sun Ruowei wasn't reincarnated.
In the previous life, Sun Ruowei died very early.
In this life, Lu Ye went on a killing spree, and she did survive. But even if she survived, her cultivation speed shouldn't be this exaggerated.
"Qiulan, Qiulan, quickly reply. I know you heard it. It's been a long time since we saw each other. Sister misses you like crazy."
Bai Qiulan sighed softly.
She was a bit conflicted.
If she didn't see Sun Ruowei, it seemed she had truly lost everyone now.
But if she saw her, she was worried that Sun Ruowei might discover other problems.
Bai Qiulan glanced at Yue Hongling.
"Can we see her?"
Yue Hongling nodded. "Don't worry, I won't reveal any flaws."
Only then did Bai Qiulan reply.
Her voice was gentle. "I'm in Cuiping Mountain. Don't come looking for me. Tell me where you are, and I'll come find you."
"Okay okay, come quickly! I just left the Ascension Pool and I'm right next to the Ascension Pool now. Hehe, I just ascended and I immediately couldn't wait to find you. As expected of your best partner!"
Bai Qiulan felt a warmth in her heart.
"Alright, be careful. I'll come find you!"
Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling simultaneously rose into the air and flew towards the Ascension Pool.
With their current strength, roaming freely in the Third Heaven after it had been ravaged by Lu Ye should pose no problems.
"Over here!"
As soon as they arrived at the Ascension Pool, Sun Ruowei had already impatiently rushed over.
