Then, Gu Li continued, "Du Xiaoxiao did not defend or resist the dean's order. Instead, she chose to marry the Gu family's disciple."
"On Du Xiaoxiao's wedding day, Lan Yu committed suicide under the Concentric Heart Tree. His blood stained the tree!"
"As for Du Xiaoxiao, she poisoned everyone at the wedding banquet, including the dean. She also committed suicide under the Concentric Heart Tree alone!"
"Later, we found out that the Gu family's disciple threatened Du Xiaoxiao with Lan Yu's life. Du Xiaoxiao already had the intention to take revenge, but Lan Yu didn't know and committed suicide first. Du Xiaoxiao saw her lover die, she didn't want to live alone!"
"The strange thing was, their blood stained the Concentric Heart Tree. No matter what method was used, there was no way to wash their blood away. Every full moon, the Concentric Heart Tree would often emit the sound of ghosts crying."
"This incident caused the reputation of the Heavenly Book Academy to drop to the bottom. The master had no choice but to dismiss the female immortals of the academy. After that, he no longer recruited female immortals. He even sent people to move the Concentric Heart Tree away …"
"However, if anyone got close to the Concentric Heart Tree, the tree would ooze blood. Regardless of the cultivation level of the person who got close, he would feel heartache and hurt his soul. Hence, no one could move the Concentric Heart Tree away. After that, the master learned from the painful experience and left the Concentric Heart Tree as a warning. He also sealed the academy's space where the Concentric Heart Tree was, forbidding the academy's disciples to get close."
"To be honest, I came here when I took over the academy. I never came here again. However, the Concentric Heart Tree that I saw seemed to be different from the academy's records. Half of the branches of the Concentric Heart Tree were withered, and the blood had disappeared …"
As he spoke, Gu Li looked at Gu Chi.
Gu Chi nodded and said, "It was already like this when I took over the academy. No one knows when it changed!"
"Sigh …"
Xiao Hua sighed. Looking at the Concentric Heart Tree that was getting weaker and weaker, he said, "I'm afraid this tree is related to one of Xiao's disciples. Xiao would like to ask both of you to lend this tree to Xiao?"
"Ah?"
Gu Chi and Gu Li were shocked. They looked at each other and asked in a low voice, "How does Xiao Xian want to borrow it?"
"Xiao is not sure …"
Xiao Hua shook his head and said, "The worst that could happen is that this concentric tree would be destroyed."
"Senior, please do as you wish ~"
Gu Chi took the lead and said, "This space of the academy has always been sealed, and the Concentric Heart Tree has long been forgotten by the Gu family. If we can help you, it will be considered as returning a favor to you."
Xiao Hua nodded and sent Zhou Xiaoming out.
"Buzz ~"
Just as Zhou Xiaoming's figure appeared, the One Heart Tree began to tremble. Specks of blood began to seep out from the other half of the tree branch that had yet to wither.
Along with the appearance of the bloodstains, the other half of the concentric tree began to wither.
"Wu, wu ~"
A gust of wind blew on the bloodstains and fluorescent lights. The bloodstains drifted with the wind along with green light spots, condensing into a dim human figure in midair.
This humanoid figure was green and red, and its appearance could not be seen clearly. When the humanoid figure was complete, the Same Heart Tree turned into powder with a "shua" sound and drifted away in the wind.
Gu Li and Gu Chi were so shocked that they could not close their mouths.
On the other hand, Xiao Hua was not only staring at the bloody humanoid figure, he was also paying attention to the white fox. Jiu Xia said softly, "Darling, this is an ordinary white fox. It was just attracted by the scent of Qingqiu Mountain on the Same Breath Joined Branch Tree."
Xiao Hua nodded and was ready to raise his hand to point at the bloody humanoid figure.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hua did not even need to do anything. The bloody humanoid figure floated towards the unconscious Zhou Xiaoming.
Xiao Hua was overjoyed and waited for Zhou Xiaoming to wake up.
Unfortunately, after the bloody humanoid figure fell into Zhou Xiaoming's forehead, a bloody flame appeared between his eyebrows. As the flame burned, Zhou Xiaoming's face showed pain. His eyes rolled rapidly, and he even covered his chest with his hands, but he did not open his eyes.
After waiting for an incense stick to burn, Zhou Xiaoming's eyes slowly stopped moving. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Xiao Hua could see that Zhou Xiaoming hadn't said anything at all. Everything was just a reaction after the blood red figure fell into his Divine Soul.
"Heads of the Imperial Court ~"
Xiao Hua thought for a moment, turned his head and said to Gu Li and Gu Chi, "Xiao wants to stay here alone for a while, is that okay?"
"Yes, yes ~"
Gu Chi and Gu Li woke up from their dream and hurriedly bowed, "We will leave now."
After the two of them left, Jiu Xia appeared.
When the white fox saw Jiu Xia, it immediately wagged its tail and walked towards Jiu Xia. Its front paws crawled on the ground as if it was greeting Jiu Xia.
"Hehe ~"
Jiu Xia looked at the white fox, pointed at Xiao Hua and laughed, "You have some spiritual energy, but you are wrong. This is the Holy Lord."
The white fox seemed to understand, but it tilted its head and looked at Xiao Hua, but did not go forward.
"It seems that you are not fated!"
Jiu Xia rolled its eyes, flicked its middle finger gently, and a green light fell between the white fox's eyebrows.
"Chirp chirp ~"
The white fox's body was immediately ignited by the green light, then it screamed and rolled on the ground.
As it rolled, the white fox gradually transformed, and finally, a beautiful woman escaped from the green light.
The woman looked at herself up and down in surprise, she could not believe her eyes.
However, the human form only lasted for a few breaths, and the woman fell to the ground and turned into a white fox again.
But this time, the white fox had some spiritual energy. Other than bowing to Jiu Xia, it also nodded to Xiao Hua.
"Go, go ~"
Jiu Xia waved its hand, and the white fox ran away happily. Not sure if it ran out to cultivate, or to show off to Fang Zhuo. Either way, Xiao Hua seemed to have foreseen another wonderful relationship in the future.
After the white fox left, a green light flashed in Jiu Xia's eyes. It looked at the red flame between Zhou Xiaoming's eyebrows, and said after a moment, "Xiao Lang, your disciple's soul is still intact, but compared to before, there is something more inexplicable. This thing is similar to a blood curse, and is related to some of my Qingqiu Mountain's secret arts. These secret arts should be supplementary to the Branch Linking Qi technique …"
"Hmm ~"
Xiao Hua nodded, and said, "These secret arts are creating a dreamscape, helping Zhou Xiaoming recover some of his memories from his past life. Some of his previous understanding will appear, and the secret arts of the Dreamscape Grand Ancestor might have come from here."
"Hehe, then can't Xiao Lang go and see what Zhou Xiaoming is dreaming about?"
Jiu Xia smiled, "Then you can find a way to awaken him?"
"No ~"
The current Xiao Hua was also well-versed in the Way of Dreamscape. "Zhou Xiaoming's dreamscape is his past life. If I barge in, not only will it affect his absorption, it will also cause a deviation in his memories from his past life. It's not worth it!"
