Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Can I… Like Xie Chenzhou?

Sang Nian was stunned.

Bi Ke’s voice lowered even further:

“He was injured during a journey, his sword bone shattered, and he could never pick up a sword again.”

“After that, he became more and more depressed, until…”

Sang Nian hurriedly asked:

“Until what?”

Bi Ke: “Until he let go.”

Sang Nian: “Isn’t there any more detail???”

“What more detail do you need?” Bi Ke said, “Besides him letting go, what else can he do?”

“He can’t just reconnect his broken sword bone.”

Sang Nian: “If he doesn’t have a sword bone, then how did he become so powerful?”

Bi Ke: “He just trained hard.”

Sang Nian: “Trained what?”

Bi Ke laughed:

“How else can he train? He sits, stands, lies down, trains, anyway, he’s even more powerful now than he was before.”

Sang Nian felt a surge of respect.

Without a sword bone, the prodigy fell from grace.

An ordinary person would have crumbled, let alone try again.

The effort Yan Yuan put in to reach his current state, probably no one else in the world could achieve.

“Alright, now you’re the second person to know this secret besides me.”

Bi Ke looked pleased:

“I’ve been holding this in for so many years, finally found someone to talk about it with.”

She didn’t forget to emphasize:

“Remember to keep it a secret, don’t tell anyone.”

Sang Nian, who felt inexplicably pressured:

“…Understood.”

“It’s a pity you can’t enter this secret realm.”

Bi Ke sighed:

“This time, the Immortal Alliance is opening the legendary Realm of Guixu.”

Sang Nian was full of question marks:

“Guixu???”

The original book only mentioned an ordinary secret realm, why is there a Realm of Guixu now?

Bi Ke motioned for her to calm down:

“This is just my own little piece of information, don’t get excited.”

Sang Nian didn’t understand.

“The secret realm the Immortal Alliance is opening at the Heroes’ Gathering, on the surface it’s just an ordinary secret realm, but…”

Bi Ke hooked her finger, Sang Nian immediately leaned closer to her.

Bi Ke said in a whisper:

“But, the secret realm hides a path to the Realm of Guixu, as long as you go through it, you can reach the Realm of Guixu.”

“Legend has it, all living beings who died and didn’t enter reincarnation are there.”

“Only those who are destined can see it.”

Sang Nian understood.

In other words, if Jing Xian died and didn’t enter reincarnation…

Then she could see Jing Xian in the Realm of Guixu.

Sang Nian’s eyes lit up.

This way she could find out who killed Jing Xian!

But…

Would Jing Xian really be there?

So many years have passed, she probably has already been reincarnated.

Beside her, Bi Ke suddenly sighed softly, her voice almost inaudible:

“If only I could go in.”

Her gaze drifted across the distance, landing on the huge cloud mass in the sky, a faint melancholy appeared between her brows.

“I really want to see my… deceased loved ones again.”

Sang Nian subconsciously asked:

“Elder’s loved ones are all gone?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized how stupid the question was.

Elder Bi Ke has lived for hundreds of years, unless something unexpected happened, her loved ones would have already passed away.

Sure enough, Bi Ke came back to her senses, and smiled sadly:

“They’re all gone.”

“My past loved ones, friends, even the flowers and rabbits I raised, they’re all gone.”

Sang Nian quickly said:

“If you could see them, Elder, is there anything you want to say to them?”

Bi Ke helplessly: “It’s like you can really see them.”

Sang Nian laughed awkwardly:

“I’m just giving an example, if, if you could really see them, what would you say?”

“What would I say…”

Bi Ke rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought, after a while, she said softly:

“I won’t forget.”

Sang Nian: “You won’t forget?”

“Yes,” Bi Ke said, “That’s what I want to say to them.”

Sang Nian thought carefully, and suddenly realized:

“I understand.”

Not forgetting, means she will never forget them.

Even if they are separated by heaven and earth, they will still remain in her heart forever.

Sang Nian patted Bi Ke’s arm, comforting her:

“Elder, if they could see you now, they would be very happy.”

Bi Ke was stunned: “Really?”

Sang Nian honestly said:

“It would be even better if you drank less during class.”

“Go away.”

Bi Ke laughed and scolded, pretending to hit her.

Sang Nian dodged her hand, lightly and swiftly escaped to the upstairs, leaning on the railing and waving to her:

“Elder, I’m going to sleep, you go drink, I won’t tell Master.”

Bi Ke gave her a thumbs up:

“Smart.”

Sang Nian pushed open the door to her room with light steps.

She poured out all the magic tools in her storage bag, filling half the room.

Liu Liu rubbed his eyes, flew out of her mind, and yawned:

“What are you doing?”

Sang Nian said matter-of-factly:

“Preparing for the secret realm.”

Liu Liu thought for a while, finally remembering the plot:

“Oh right, there will be an accident then, all the disciples present will be swept into the secret realm.”

Sang Nian said:

“Why else would I be training so hard all this time?”

Liu Liu advised:

“Once you’re in, just be like the original owner, just stay low, don’t care about rankings or anything.”

“The secret realm will close in half a month, you’ll naturally be able to come out.”

Sang Nian was eager to try:

“But I want to be first too.”

Liu Liu: “I think you look like a first.”

Sang Nian pouted, continuing to tidy up her pile of stuff:

“If only I could go to the Realm of Guixu.”

Liu Liu: “What?”

Sang Nian said:

“Elder Bi Ke’s loved ones are in the Realm of Guixu, if I could find a way to get there, I could help the Elder deliver a message to her loved ones.”

Liu Liu was still confused: “Where is the Realm of Guixu?”

Sang Nian thought for a moment:

“Turn on navigation, see if you can navigate there.”

Liu Liu didn’t understand, but he did it.

“There’s actually this place on the map.” He exclaimed.

Sang Nian: “Let me see!”

A sheepskin map floated in mid-air, the corner indeed faintly wrote the two words Realm of Guixu.

Sang Nian: “Why can’t I see the route?”

Liu Liu: “Of course, we haven’t entered that secret realm yet, the map hasn’t even been fully opened.”

“Okay.” Sang Nian’s gaze fell on other parts of the map, suddenly asked, “Can you see the address of Xiaohua Mountain?”

Liu Liu: “Let me check.”

After a while, he said:

“No.”

Sang Nian: “No?”

“System prompt, Xiaohua Mountain is currently deliberately hidden,” Liu Liu said, “It requires a certain item to unlock.”

Sang Nian: “What item?”

Liu Liu shook his head: “I don’t know, but it’s important anyway.”

Sang Nian was slightly disappointed:

“I see.”

Liu Liu felt that her expression was a bit strange, and asked:

“What’s wrong?”

Sang Nian hesitated for a moment, and communicated with him through her mind:

“Not long ago, it felt like someone was watching me.”

Liu Liu: “?”

Sang Nian: “You guys didn’t notice, but I felt it, someone was secretly watching my every move.”

Liu Liu hurriedly asked: “What about now?”

Sang Nian shook her head: “I can’t feel it now.”

Maybe they switched to a more advanced technique.

Or maybe… that person let her go.

Liu Liu gave her a check from head to toe:

“Strange, there’s nothing wrong, maybe it’s just your illusion?”

Sang Nian’s heart was uneasy:

“I hope it’s just an illusion.”

Liu Liu patted her head with his wings, comforting her:

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, your mission is already half completed, you’ll be able to leave here soon.”

Sang Nian didn’t know what she was thinking, she paused before replying:

“I hope so.”

“You were so close to succeeding before.”

Liu Liu lamented:

“It’s just that you can’t control your mouth, you always make Xie Chenzhou angry.”

Sang Nian said: “Xie Chenzhou is easy to appease.”

She put down the machete in her hand and said seriously:

“He has received so much malice along the way, almost no one has ever been good to him.”

“So, as long as you show him a little kindness, he will comfort himself.”

“He is more afraid of losing me, losing these friends, than I am afraid of losing him.”

Liu Liu stroked his chin:

“It sounds like he’s already completely fallen in love with you.”

Sang Nian confidently raised her head:

“Yes.”

Liu Liu: “Then have you fallen in love with him too?”

The corners of Sang Nian’s lips slowly fell.

After a long time, she quietly asked Liu Liu:

“Can I… like him?”
