“Xuanji! Xuanji! Where are you?

Ling Long shouted the loudest with a crying voice, trembling as if she would pass away at any moment. When Xuanji heard her shouting like that, she couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. She seemed to be crying out for her soul…….

“I’m…I’m here.” She ran over to the two anxious people and waved to them.

“How are you?” Zhong Minyan sprinted up, grabbed her shoulder, and looked over her from head to toe. He is relieved when he is sure of this and suddenly realizes that his mood was wrong, and hurriedly let go of her, regretting that he was too impulsive.

Linglong is completely impulsive, and when she saw Xuanji, she jumped on her and hugged her without letting go, crying like a little old woman, with snot and tears in her eyes.

Xuanji hugged her with one hand while smiling bitterly and said, “I……. I’m fine. Ling Long…….really nothing. Look, someone is watching! Don’t cry…Sifeng is there too…”

When they heard the name “Sifeng”, they realized that there were three people standing in the woods behind them, two of them in blue robes and masks. Zhong Minyan couldn’t help but hold one of them by the hand and said, “Sifeng! I haven’t seen you for four years. How have you been? …why are you here?”

Even though her eyes were still red, Linglong followed and asked, “Did you save Xuanji? Good Sifeng! Thank you!”

The man smiled bitterly and said, “I am from Lize Palace, Ruo Yu…”

Yu Sifeng coughed beside him, pretending to be angry, “You’re all mistaken. Who said they are my brothers for life?”

Zhong Minyan let go of Ruoyu in embarrassment and punched Yu Sifeng on his back. Yu Sifeng punched him with the back of his hand, and the two of them suddenly held their hands together and laughed together

“Minyan, you have grown taller and stronger! Have you been able to achieve results in your training these years?” Yu Sifeng tapped him on the shoulder, as if he was an old friend.

Zhong Minyan laughed, “You’re the same, kid! The size is the same as mine…well, it seems you’ve become more fluent?! No stutter anymore.”

You’re the stutterer! Yu Sifeng fought back fiercely in his stomach, but he had no choice but to act indifferent. It was not easy to be presumptuous in front of the same door.[1] He doesn’t stammer anymore while speaking the Central Plains dialect because he has been studying day and night for the past four years……just to no longer be clumsy as he used to be and lose something precious.

The few of them met again after four years, and naturally there were countless things to say. For a while, they didn’t even care about being in the deep mountains and old forests, the moon was black and the wind was high, and they wished to sit on the ground right away, speaking until dawn.

Ruoyu, who was on the side, didn’t care. He listened to them with relish, but the girl in white couldn’t bear it. After a long time, she finally took advantage of a gap in their conversation and hurriedly interjected: “Sifeng…it’s so cold here, let’s go back and talk about it, okay?”

But Yu Sifeng didn’t answer.

Ling Long has noticed the girl in white since she first came to see her. A woman likes to compete in beauty, especially when she sees someone similar to herself. She has looked at her secretly and openly for many times. At this meeting, she and Yu Sifeng talked affectionately, and she couldn’t help but feel upset in her heart.

In Ling Long’s heart, Sifeng belongs to Xuanji. She is sure that Xuanji loves Si Feng and Si Feng loves Xuanji. How can she not be disgusted when a charming and sweet woman comes in?

She immediately pouted, “Sifeng, who is this girl?”

The girl was a bit uneasy too, but she was upset when she saw Ling Long’s outstanding looks and her harsh words.

Ruo Yu is a very honest person, so he smiles and introduces, “This is Miss Lu Yanran from Fuyu Island. Sifeng and I happened to meet Miss Lu when we set out for training. She and her fellow disciples got lost, so temporarily she is traveling with us in a team.”

When Ling Long heard the words “Fu Yu Island”, she looked at her and smiled, “We were on our way to Fuyu Island to see Uncle Dongfang. But we encountered something haunted here, so we stayed behind to investigate. By the way, who is this brother…?”

Ruoyu introduces himself again, “This disciple is Ruoyu from the Lize Palace. Greetings, Miss Chu, Miss Chu Er[2], Zhong Shaoxia[3], please advise me.”

He introduces himself to everyone so politely, just like another Du Minxing character.

The three people from the Shaoyang faction immediately develop an inexplicable fondness for him.

“It’s a bit chilly after sitting here for so long… Why don’t we go back? Where do you live, Sifeng?”

Xuanji got up, patted the dust and weeds from her body and asked.

Yu Sifeng smiled and said, “I live in the same place as you… it’s also the Zhao Family Residence. We also heard that this place is haunted, so we came here to have a look.”

Xuanji suddenly remembered the rice crackers that had bounced around in the afternoon and the silver light that was moving through the forest, and suddenly said, “Oh, so you saw me in the afternoon? Why didn’t you call me? That silvery light……it’s a Xiao Yinhua, right? It’s getting really good now!”

Yu Sifeng paused for a moment and said, “After four years of no contact… I think you may have forgotten about me.”

He didn’t want to say that he had waited in Lize Palace for four years, but he didn’t receive a single word. He didn’t want to recall that feeling. He really didn’t want to.

Xuanji finally felt really guilty and bowed his head, apologizing, “I’m sorry… I’m… I’m just a pig’s brain. I forgot…to write.”

Forgot… He gave a wry smile in his heart, tapped her forehead faintly, and said softly, “Go back first. Go back and talk later.”

When they got back, it was another lively meeting. The young people, who had borrowed two oil lamps from Zhao’s residene, sat in an empty room and talked for most of the night.

When the sky turned white, Lu Yanran couldn’t hold on any longer, so she yawned and said, “I’m going to bed… Si Feng, you should get some rest too. We still have to investigate the monster tomorrow and what’s causing trouble.”

When Zhong Minyan heard about the monsters, he said. “So you are here to investigate into this matter, how about it? Any ideas? What’s with all the three-headed birds?”

Sifeng said, “Those birds are called Qu Ru, a kind of demon, and although they look hideous, they are harmless and seldom attack humans. I heard that they like to eat the roots of the Zhu Yu Grass, so we suspect that they are attracted by the Zhu Yu Grass.”

Ling Long suddenly realized, “So that’s it! They can smell the grass here, so they’re coming to eat it. If they are not harmful to humans, they will be fine.”

Yu Sifeng shook his head, “It’s too early to tell. We have never seen such a large scale of Qu Ru birds eating the Zhu Yu grass. We can’t rule out that someone might be controlling them, As for the purpose, we haven’t found out yet.”

Ling Long hurriedly said, “Then we’ll find out together with you! Anyway, we are all trainees. There is strength in numbers! Let’s have some fun!”

Yu Sifeng and RuoYu hadn’t spoken yet, but they heard Lu Yanran who was yawning and chuckled, and said slowly, “The Shaoyang School’s students have just came down the mountain and don’t have any special skills. None of them can even handle Qu Ru, so what if they get in the way?”

“Uh, Miss Lu, don’t you…”

Ruo Yu is a good-natured person who rushes to defuse the scene. It was still too late, Ling Long jumps up and points at her nose, saying loudly, “What did you say? Say it again!”

But Lu Yanran smiled, stretched her back and said, “There’s nothing to say. Go to sleep, there is still investigation to be done. Don’t get up late, we won’t wait for you…”.

How could Ling Long bear it, is a young woman with a strong sense of humility. She took out her Golden Sword and said sternly, “You look down on us? Let’s go outside and see who’s pulling whose leg!”

Lu Yanran hurriedly moved behind Yu Sifeng and giggled, “What a fierce girl… Who’s going to fight you with swords? Reserve some strength to deal with the monster.”

Linglong is a straight-tempered woman, thus meeting such a tricky and slick woman, she is so angry that she is shaking with rage.

Zhong Min Yan grabbed Ling Long’s shoulders and said, “No need to say more, Ling Long. It will be clear in the future, why bother making trouble now.”

Linglong grunted once before putting her sword back in its sheath and giving her a hard look.

“Sifeng…” Xuanji pulled on his sleeve like a kitten.

His expression was invisible through the mask, but his voice was soft and gentle: “Let’s go together. Be good, go to sleep. When you wake up, I’ll show you how little Yinhua has grown up.”

Xuanji was finally coaxed into nodding happily and went to sleep without looking at the two strangers beside her.

<<Previous – Chapter List – Next>>

[1]: Sifeng is basically saying that he can’t act insolently in front of (his) fellow disciples (Ruoyu). Doesn’t want to lose his temper in front of people who know him.

[2]: ‘Er’ as in the number two (2) in Chinese, so in this case he is referring to Xuanji as Second Miss Chu, since she is younger than Linglong who was born first.

[3]: 少俠 (shao xia) can be translated as young man or young master – in this context it would be young master.
