Female Emperor Jie Mingkong stood on the glacier, motionless like a statue.
Her eyes were closed, and her face was expressionless.
But her clothes were fluttering even though there was no wind, which showed that she was not calm inside.
The memories in the depths of his heart kept surging, not stopping for a single moment.
She couldn't forget that bright afternoon on the Jade Sky Peak. What seemed to be a very ordinary thing at that time changed her life and her destiny from there.
For her, that was the beginning of everything.
At that time, her master suddenly brought back a little girl who was about four or five years old.
The little girl was so cute that she liked her very much at first sight.
Jie Mingkong could still remember every word she had said at that time until today.
"Master, which family does she belong to? Is she your new disciple?" She remembered that she asked her master this question.
Her master's reaction was a bit strange. After a short silence, he answered, "The daughter of an old friend. But from now on, I'm going to take her as my disciple and live with us."
"She's still young. Mingkong, take good care of her."
At that time, Jie Mingkong was much more cheerful than she was now. She smiled and said, "Of course. Master, don't worry."
Chen Xuanzong nodded slightly and told the little girl that her parents had died.
Jie Mingkong felt pity for her. She bent down and picked up the little girl, "Treat this place as your own home. If you need anything, just come to me. I'll do it for you."
The little girl was still a bit ignorant. She couldn't fully understand Jie Mingkong's words.
However, she seemed to feel the kindness of the other party.
She had a good impression of this beautiful girl in white. Therefore, even though Jie Mingkong picked her up, the girl didn't reject it at all. Instead, she giggled.
Seeing that, Jie Mingkong was also very happy. She smiled like a flower.
The white-haired young man saw that. His eyes were soft, but there were some different emotions in the depth of his eyes.
At that time, Jie Mingkong couldn't understand those emotions.
She just felt that the little girl in front of her was quite congenial to her.
She was very happy that the little girl became her junior sister.
"What's your name?" Jie Mingkong asked with a smile while holding the little girl in her arms.
"Lili …" The little girl answered in a childish voice, "My name is Lili."
"Chu Lili." At this moment, Chen Xuanzong, who had only been looking at them quietly, spoke.
Hearing this, Jie Mingkong was slightly startled, "Chu … Lili? I remember that you have an old friend, Senior Chu Huan, whose surname is Chu. Is Lili his daughter? "
Chen Xuanzong nodded and didn't say anything else.
Jie Mingkong didn't pay much attention to it at that time.
It was not until later that she understood what that name meant.
That was because Jie Mingkong found that Chu Lili was different from her.
She could walk freely in the World beyond Worlds, and everyone knew that she was the Astro Sovereign's personal disciple.
As for Chu Lili, she could only live in the Jade Sky Peak since she was young. Even after she officially became Chen Xuanzong's disciple, Chu Lili was arranged to live alone in the back mountain instead of staying in the Cold Wave Temple.
Other than Chen Xuanzong, the Earthly Sovereign, and the Concealed Sovereign, even the other peak experts of the World beyond Worlds didn't know about his existence and whereabouts.
The only exceptions were Jie Mingkong, Yue Zhenbei, Wang Zhengcheng, and a few others.
Fortunately, Chu Lili was optimistic by nature. Although she often felt lonely, she still grew up peacefully.
She was especially close to Jie Mingkong and Yue Zhenbei, who were always in contact with her.
Especially because Jie Mingkong was too young to take care of her, she was more like a sister and a mother to her.
As time went by, Jie Mingkong gradually knew what had happened to Chu Heng.
Gradually, she knew what was special about Chu Lili.
However, every time she saw Chu Lili's cheerful smile, Jie Mingkong's heart would soften.
She sincerely hoped that her master could succeed in his attempt.
However, as Chu Lili grew up day by day, Jie Mingkong found some other signs.
As a little girl gradually grew up, her mind seemed to be tied to her master …
She had a special relationship with Jie Mingkong, so she wouldn't hide her thoughts from Jie Mingkong.
In fact, she didn't hide her thoughts from Jie Mingkong.
The overly cheerful and optimistic girl didn't hide her thoughts at all. She especially wanted her master to know her feelings.
"Senior apprentice sister, do you think my master still treats me as a kid?" When Chu Lili pouted and poured out her thoughts to Jie Mingkong, Jie Mingkong didn't know how to answer.
Of course, she hoped that Chu Lili would give up this idea.
However, she was in no position to persuade Chu Lili.
It was not only because Chu Lili trusted her, but also because she felt the same way …
Yes, although she didn't show it like Chu Lili, Jie Mingkong's mind had been tied to her master since an unknown time.
Every time she saw her junior apprentice sister persistently confessing to her master, Jie Mingkong would feel anxious.
She had a strong impulse to be like Chu Lili.
Even once would be good.
However, every time when she was about to confess, all her courage would disappear like rolling snow when she met Chen Xuanzong's eyes. Her usual frankness and straightforwardness were all gone.
Until one day, when Chu Lili's birthday was approaching, Chen Xuanzong suddenly called Jie Mingkong over.
In front of her was a cute little beast that looked like a white fox with four thick and short limbs.
"Feifei? It's a cub … "Jie Mingkong recognized it. Chen Xuanzong said," This is Lili's birthday gift this year. She lives alone in the back mountain. Although you often accompany and take care of her, you don't have much time. This Feifei can relieve her boredom. "
"When it's her birthday, give this Feifei to her. Learning to take care of a little life is also a kind of growth for her."
Jie Mingkong's eyes flickered and her throat moved slightly. Many words were surging in her chest, but she couldn't say them out.
After a long while, she only said one sentence, "Will my master go out on Lili's birthday?"
"No such plan." Chen Xuanzong shook his head.
"Then you can give it to Lili in person. Lili has been like this since she was a little girl." Jie Mingkong couldn't help but say.
Her voice lowered, "Lili will be very happy if you give it to her in person."
"This year is different from the previous years." Chen Xuanzong said calmly, "This year, Lili's mind seems to have changed a little. She … has grown up."
"For me, she is my disciple and also my niece. Men and women should be different. I can't be as casual as before. It's my fault. Fortunately, it's not too late to mend the pen after the sheep is lost."
Jie Mingkong was shocked at first, then surprised.
Then, she felt a little guilty about Chu Lili for having such a feeling.
Finally, she felt sad.
She was also Chen Xuanzong's disciple …
For some strange reason, as if it was her last struggle before death, she blurted out, "Master, for my birthday this year, can I also ask for a gift …"
