The short-haired girl's residence was built at the side of a lake in the mountains.
It was hard to imagine that there would be such a large lake in the middle of a lofty mountain range.
The lake water was clear, and a hazy white mist seeped out of it. Spiritual Energy assaulted the nose.
There was an exquisite pavilion in the middle of the lake, shrouded in white mist. It looked like a fairyland.
Mountains surrounded the surroundings, and the lake water looked like a painting. The distant mountain ranges rose and fell.
The lake water looked like jade amid the rising and falling mountain ranges, looking like a flawless rainstorm embedded in the mountains.
Spirit Birds soared in the sky, and fish played in the lake water.
When standing at the lakeside and looking, this picturesque lake was incredibly long and narrow, extending out between two mountain ranges.
Unexpectedly, this small lake gave off the feeling of a vast sea, vast and unfathomable.
As for the pavilion in the middle of the lake, through the mist, one could see dragons and phoenixes carved in the pavilion, looking pure white.
The pavilion flickered with a glazed luster, making the lake water ripple and look jade-green. A few large mandarin ducks took off, tearing through the mist and flying past the pavilion.
The picturesque scenery instantly came to life.
"Great place! Even if I stay here forever, I will not tire of it. If there comes a day when I no longer pursue the Martial Dao, I want to find a scenery comparable to this place and retire. "
Situ Changfeng sighed, completely immersed in the beautiful scenery.
The short-haired girl retorted, "That's impossible. I've lived here for ten-odd years already. I've had enough already. How can I stay here forever and not tire of it? "
Xiao Chen said softly, "That is because your heart is not calm enough. If your heart is not calm, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will not be enough. In your eyes, it is just two simple words: mountains and water. If you have already seen all the splendor, experienced the ups and downs of honor and disgrace, what you will see … "
The short-haired girl interrupted, "Then what will you see?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "You will still see the mountains and the water."
"That is still the same. Do you see that pavilion? Every time my elder sister comes back, she stays there, "the short-haired girl said softly as she pointed to the white-jade pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Murong Yan's eyes lit up. "Can we go over and take a look?"
The short-haired girl shook her head and said, "Of course not. Without permission, how can we enter my elder sister's room?"
"That's just wasting my time," Murong Yan said, appearing somewhat disappointed.
"Hee hee, but you can go to my cave. Besides, that pavilion is so empty. What's there to see?"
After the short-haired girl spoke, she called everyone over to her residence.
Xiao Chen was the last to enter. Before he left, he glanced at the pavilion in the center of the lake and entered deep thought.
After entering the cave, the short-haired girl seemed to have changed into a different person. She kept pestering them with questions.
She was far from being an expert like she had been.
As the group chatted, they learned that this short-haired girl was called Liu Ruyun, the daughter of the current White Dragon Race's Clan Head.
White White White White was White. of the of the White of the of the Dragon.
The White Dragon Race's Patriarch was the White Dragon King. He led all the White Dragon cultivators in the Divine Dragon Empire.
. If something happened, the White of, the White of a in., the of a of a a a of the of a. of.. of. a a a to to the Dragon..
Of course, the various outer palaces were under the jurisdiction of the Dragon's Gate, even the White Dragon King.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but say to himself, "Nonsense."
Doesn't that mean Liu Ruyue is the White Dragon King's eldest daughter?
In the Sky Dome Realm's Qingyun Peak, who died from falling into a Demonic Dao and sealed herself in ice before dying? Who was that to Liu Ruyue?
Liu Ruyue could not possibly have two fathers.
Xiao Chen pondered in his heart. This matter might be much more complicated than he thought.
The White Dragon Palace core disciple had mentioned it previously.
Not only did Liu Ruyue have a Grade 7 bloodline, but she also had an innate dragon soul. The power of her dragon soul was extremely pure.
Ordinary Dragon Race cultivators possessed a dragon bloodline. However, their Soul Energy was that of an ordinary person's; there was nothing special about it.
An Innate Dragon Soul contained the power of the Dragon Soul. It was completely different.
Not only could such an existence revitalize the White Dragon Clan, but he might even be able to seize the position of Dragon Emperor.
Perhaps this was the reason why Xiao Chen had to hide Liu Ruyue's identity.
Making her the daughter of the White Dragon King would be the most convincing. Who would dare to doubt the White Dragon King?
Looking at it now, it was indeed very successful. In the Divine Dragon Empire, Xiao Chen had never heard of anyone doubting Liu Ruyue's identity.
To Xiao Chen, none of this mattered. The crux of the problem was
The crux of the problem was whether Liu Ruyue herself knew about this.
If this group of people harmed Ruyue for the sake of their own benefits, I absolutely will not forgive them!
Xiao Chen had seen people do extreme things before benefits.
He could not help but overthink this.
"You are going to Desolate God Valley?" the short-haired girl asked as she looked curiously at the group.
Wei Hongfei nodded and said, "Yes. Originally, we planned to invite Zhong Li along. However, only the four of us can go."
The short-haired girl, Liu Ruyun, said, "I'll accompany you. I am no weaker than Brother Zhong Li. Even he did not stop you, but I did. "
Confidence flashed in Liu Ruyun's eyes as she spoke.
It had to be said that Liu Ruyun was not weak. She could even be considered very strong.
As the White Dragon King's daughter, her bloodline and aptitude would not be bad. Her Cultivation Techniques, secret manuals, and Dao Tools would definitely be the best.
On the surface, Liu Ruyue appeared to be stronger than the other four.
However, in a true fight to the death, the short-haired girl would not be a match for any one of the four.
When the short-haired girl said that she would come along, even the brainless Murong Yan did not respond.
Situ Changfeng said, "It looks like it is already late. Let's rest first."
The short-haired girl appeared somewhat helpless as she said, "Alright. Uncle Mei, bring the few of you to check in."
Late at night, when the bright moon hung high in the sky:
Xiao Chen came out of his room and scanned the surroundings with his Spiritual Sense. After verifying that no one was around, he pushed off with his feet and carefully avoided the many restrictions.
Then, he landed on the lake and turned into a cool breeze. Sticking close to the lake surface, he silently flew towards the pavilion in the center of the lake.
When Xiao Chen got closer, he was shocked to discover that there was nothing at the center of the lake.
The water rippled, and a cool breeze blew. There was no pavilion.
"Is this an illusion?"
Xiao Chen opened his Heavenly Eye unhurriedly and saw some clues. The illusion before him was not a simple one.
If he took another step forward, he would enter an illusion formation and be trapped.
If he tried to barge in, the consequences would be dire.
"This is not a problem for me."
Xiao Chen put on the Death God Mask and activated one of the mask's three Secret Techniques, Void Shadow.
Xiao Chen's body slowly turned illusory, existing between reality and illusion. He existed for only a second.
However, this one second was sufficient for Xiao Chen to pass through that troublesome illusion formation and enter the pavilion.
I succeeded.
Xiao Chen removed his mask and walked up the steps of the white-jade pavilion. Then, he pushed open the door without hesitation.
"This is where Ruyue lived."
Xiao Chen sized up the place and did not find anything special about it. It was just where girls usually stayed.
It was as Liu Ruyun said; it was empty. Clearly, she had not returned for a long time.
Even if she returned, she would not have stayed for long.
As Xiao Chen casually walked around the pavilion, he did not think too much of it. He just wanted to look around where Liu Ruyue once stayed.
"This is …"
Xiao Chen stopped and discovered an unfinished painting in the study of the pavilion.
Slowly unfurling the painting, Xiao Chen discovered a blurry figure. There was a silhouette, but the facial features were missing. It was unfinished, so he could not make out much.
Who is this painting?
After closing the painting, Xiao Chen thought curiously, Could it be Liu Ruyue who drew it?
Only she and Liu Ruyun lived here. Liu Ruyun was still young and did not look like she knew how to draw.
After thinking about it, Xiao Chen concluded that it was very likely that Liu Ruyue drew it.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and rolled up the painting. Then, he placed it in the Universe Ring.
"Hahaha! Thief!"
Just at this moment, a voice rang out. The short-haired girl, Liu Ruyun, suddenly appeared outside the door.
Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at this girl in astonishment. However, he did not feel surprised. He took out the painting and unfurled it. "Did you draw this?"
Seeing Xiao Chen's calm expression, not showing any shock or embarrassment, the short-haired girl could not help but feel bored.
It looked like the other party had guessed long ago that his residence was connected to this pavilion. She could sense every movement in the pavilion at any time.
"How could I possibly draw these? I borrowed them, and I drew many of them. They are all like this, only the silhouette and no facial features. Hey, this silhouette is actually quite similar to you. "
Liu Ruyun seemed to have discovered something very interesting. After she walked over, she picked up the painting and looked at Xiao Chen. "It really is quite similar."
