Chapter 81 What Have You Forgotten?
"you are?"
Liu Xingxing pretended to be blind.
Lu Xihan was also somewhat surprised to encounter this person within the sect.
Xiao Yiyi, standing beside her, looked puzzled: "Xixi, who is she? Do you know her?"
"Yes, it's the one I told you about back in the Shangyuan Secret Realm."
"Oh, so it's her."
After the two finished their private conversation, they walked over to Liu Xingxing.
Lu Xihan was somewhat surprised to see Ning Shen also there: "Senior Brother Ning is here too. Fellow Immortal Liu, have you forgotten that we met three years ago?"
No one can forget Liu Xingxing, but she still has to pretend to be trying hard to remember.
"Oh, I remember now, it's Fellow Daoist Lu. So you're also from the Xuanshan Sect. Please forgive my bad memory."
"What a coincidence! It's been three years. Fellow Daoist Liu has changed quite a bit. If you hadn't told me your name, I almost wouldn't have recognized you."
The changes are indeed quite significant. After all, it's a face created using illusion magic, so some details can't possibly be exactly the same as it was three years ago. Luckily, we were able to use the face from three years ago today, otherwise we would have had to fabricate something for quite a while.
But for cultivators, changes are common. Their cultivation level may be higher than before, and their body may have fewer impurities, so their face will naturally change, but it will be largely the same, just perhaps more refined.
"Sigh, people always change. Those who cultivate themselves are not bound by appearances, so I don't care much about it either." I care a lot.
"That's right, you two chat first. I have something to do with Yi Yi, so I'll take my leave now."
Lu Xihan simply greeted him and left, not acting overly familiar, after all, they were only people she had met once.
The Shangyuan Secret Realm incident happened so long ago, there's no point in bringing it up again.
"Of course, Fellow Daoist Lu, please go ahead with your work."
Liu Xingxing watched Lu Xihan and the other person leave before turning back to deal with Ning Shen's matter.
"Are you very familiar with Junior Sister Lu, Immortal Friend Liu?"
"Not well acquainted, but we've met once before."
Being familiar with someone is just another form of familiarity.
“Junior Sister Lu is now Venerable Fuyue’s last disciple. Unless absolutely necessary, Fellow Daoist Liu, it would be best not to get too familiar with her.” Ning Shen’s tone was slightly ambiguous.
Liu Xingxing looked puzzled: "Why? I do know a little about Venerable Fuyue. I've heard that he's also excellent at array formations. People don't see him often, but I've also heard that he's a good person and there's nothing wrong with him, right?"
"It's not the Venerable One, but Junior Sister Lu..."
Liu Xingxing was silent for a moment. She had almost forgotten that Ning Shenyuan had admired Wei Qiushuang's talent and strength.
At that time, Ning Shen had just joined the Xuanshan Sect. He had been thinking about Wei Qiushuang ever since she saved him during a training trip, but he had never revealed it.
Seeing Wei Qiushuang and Su Jiangling together all the time now only makes her bury her feelings deep in her heart, and she can only watch silently.
Lu Xihan and Wei Qiushuang had a long history of feuds and were no longer on good terms, but they hadn't shown it openly. Although Ning Shen didn't know the inside story, how could he not know Wei Qiushuang? Naturally, he couldn't stand Lu Xihan.
However, Liu Xingxing was wrong this time; Ning Shen's situation was not due to Wei Qiushuang.
Ning Shen glanced at the person beside him, shook his head and chuckled, "Forget it, fellow disciples shouldn't gossip. It was my fault. I shouldn't have discussed these things with Fellow Immortal Liu, Tang..."
"Did I provoke you again?"
Xingxing interrupted him with amusement: "This is my first meeting with Immortal Ning, and you're already saying all this to me. Don't you think it's a bit presumptuous of us to be so familiar with each other?"
Ning Shen was also taken aback. Indeed, why did he want to say these things to her on their very first meeting?
"It is I..."
"Besides 'abrupt,' what else can you say?"
Liu Xingxing developed another stereotypical impression of Ning Shen, who was so upright and serious. No wonder he could only secretly think about the former female lead. With that mouth of his, he'd probably only say "incomprehensible" if pushed too far (￣⊿￣)…
"Oh well, it's getting late, I should head back. See you again someday."
"and many more……"
Ning Shen seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"Is there anything else?"
"Could I... could I have your contact information, Fellow Daoist Liu?"
After Ning Shen finished speaking, the tips of his ears turned red visibly, but his face remained completely expressionless, like someone with facial paralysis.
"No need, we'll meet again if we're meant to."
After all, we'll see each other all the time. What if leaving a message means my identity gets exposed one day?
"I have a very good relationship with Fellow Daoist Liu. We are extremely compatible. Please grant my request!"
Ning Shen was acting strangely today. He had come to discuss some matters with the sect leader, but he happened to run into this person outside the hall. He spotted her among the hundreds of people coming and going.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that if he couldn't keep them together today, he would never have the chance to meet and get to know them again.
This was the first time he had ever done something like this.
Looking at Ning Shen, who was bowing slightly to her, and seeing his stubborn expression, Liu Xingxing sighed helplessly.
The worst thing about such a person is that they become obsessed with one thing and won't give up until they achieve their goal.
Oh well, it's just a message, it won't cost me anything. I'll just treat it as a zombie friend in my friend list. Ideally, if you don't do anything, I'll just pretend you don't exist.
Liu Xingxing took out a blank jade slip, infused it with her aura, and then handed it to him: "All done."
He then quipped, "Fellow Daoist Ning, your method of requesting a message is truly unique."
"Yes……"
"Can't we use a different word?"
Ning Shen accepted the jade slip with both hands, and a different expression finally appeared on his face: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Liu. Please forgive me if I have been presumptuous."
"Hmm, you've improved. I'm off."
Liu Xingxing patted his arm, smiled with satisfaction, and then leisurely left.
Ning Shen gazed at her figure, and for some reason suddenly thought of that person. He then shook his head, put away the jade slip, and went to the main hall to find the sect leader.
One is a beauty who is slightly lacking, and the other is like a god; no matter what, they can't be connected.
……
Today was truly fulfilling. First, she watched a play, and then she ran into several acquaintances. Liu Xingxing was in no hurry to go back, but instead went to the valley area at the foot of Buyang Peak.
Last night, when I was bored, I suddenly remembered that there was a white oleander tree in the Buyang Peak Valley that Liu Jun planted with her cheap master not long after she became a disciple. I wonder how it is now.
Why not plant them on Qiwu Peak?
She didn't know either; her master had only said that the place was perfect for planting white oleanders.
I don’t know if it was just a whim of my master, and why he chose to plant this common and poisonous thing when there are so many other immortal plants to choose from.
Of course, the small amount of toxin in oleander is indeed fatal to mortals, but it is insignificant to cultivators. For someone with Liu Xingxing's cultivation level, picking the fruit and eating it as food is not a problem.
Anyway, I have some free time now, so I might as well go and see how it is. After all, it happened three thousand years ago. I wonder if it has gone extinct or not. Can this thing be grown for so long?
She must have had absolutely nothing better to remember something from so long ago, which indirectly proves that her memory is truly amazing.
Cultivators have long lifespans, especially those with high cultivation levels, which can easily last for thousands of years. However, their brain capacity is limited, and they cannot remember everything.
Even someone like her, who had only seen it once when she first arrived, and not for long, now possesses all of Liu Jun's memories. However, apart from some major and important events, many things have become blurred over time.
If you don't think about it carefully, you really can't remember.
However, just before leaving, Liu Xingxing realized that she had forgotten to inform Xuanwu. When she left the main hall, that guy was still sitting at the head of the table, whether he was listening to the debate or taking a nap, she didn't notice him because he was far away.
He was so busy that he took out a communication talisman to tell him that he had already gone back. Since they had agreed to go together, he should have let him know if he was leaving, even if they were not in the same place. But as soon as he went out, he ran into a bunch of things and forgot about it.
It's not too late now, is it? (*???)
After delivering the talisman, Liu Xingxing played with a beautifully carved incense ball she had pulled out of her consciousness space, but she didn't know what material it was made of. She then slowly walked towards the direction of Buyang Peak Valley.
Buyang Peak is not far from the main peak; it only takes about fifteen minutes to get there.
However, the valley is very large, stretching as far as the eye can see, and the Qinjiang River flows through it, with a diameter estimated to be six or seven hundred meters, and the current is extremely rapid.
Liu Xingxing took out her ancient leaf flying device, jumped on it, and slowly searched her way up from the end of the valley.
……
"Little Willow, look, this tree that looks like it's about to die will come back to life in a few days and will bloom next summer."
"Little Willow, although this plant is poisonous, it's incredibly beautiful when it blooms. A vast expanse of white resembles pristine snow..."
"Little Willow, remember to come and see it every year after Master leaves, and see if it has grown bigger than the year before last."
"Little Willow, today is the seventh day of the ninth month. Would you like to pick the most beautiful one for your master and give it to me?"
"Little Willow, next year on your birthday, your teacher will take you to stay at the little house next to the flowers for a few more days."
"Little Willow..."
"Little Willow..."
