The young woman stretched out her hands and hugged Su Xiruo. A sinister look flashed across her eyes, but her mouth was still incomparably gentle: "Ruo Er, do you miss your mother?"

"Of course." Su Xiruo answered truthfully, "For the past five years, I have been thinking of you at every moment, every second, thinking of the day you would be able to return to my side!"

The young woman smiled. Her voice became even gentler and even became a bit dreamy. "It's the same with mother. She thinks about you all the time and tells mother what you've experienced in the past five years."

Su Xiruo leaned on her chest, his eyes red, and his messy thoughts suddenly filled her heart.

On the other side, Ye Zhuozhuo had also lost his way. He walked alone amidst the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, at a loss of what to do.

"Ruo Ruo, A Xi!" As she walked, she called out their names. She accidentally fell to the ground and twisted her ankle. "Ah!"

Just as she was at her wit's end, a big hand reached out for her. Raising her head, she saw Mu Lingxi looking at her gently, his tone extremely gentle: "Shining, are you alright?"

Seeing that it was A Xi, Ye Zhuozhuo decisively gave her his small hand. After being pulled up by him, she staggered for a bit, and Mu Lingxi immediately held onto her body.

"A Xi, where did you run off to? How come in the blink of an eye, you're all gone?" Ye Zhuozhuo seemed to be a little afraid as she dove into Mu Lingxi's embrace, afraid that he would disappear right in front of her eyes again, "I'm really scared, what should I do if all of you are gone?"

The corner of Mu Lingxi's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, as though he still carried some killing intent, but his mouth was still incomparably gentle: "Why would I abandon you?"

"What about them?" Ye Zhuozhuo was worried about the others, "Will they be in danger?"

"What's wrong? Shining? Aren't you happy that you can be alone with me?" Mu Lingxi hugged her, and did not let her move, as he asked probingly.

"No." Ye Zhuozhuo raised her eyes and looked at him, "To be able to be alone with you, of course I'm extremely happy, but now …"

Now, they had more important things to do, they still wanted to hunt Six-Tailed Mystic Fox s!

"Brilliant, don't worry. The spirit beasts have already been taken care of. Right now, I have something I want to say to you in private. Are you willing to give me some time?" Mu Lingxi's tone sounded especially serious.

It was rare to see A Xi being so serious, which surprised him a bit, so he asked: "Tell me!"

Mu Lingxi smiled at her, lowered his body and softly whispered into her ear: "Shining, are you willing to be my wangfei?"

"Huh?" Suddenly being asked this question, Ye Zhuozhuo was frightened, but deep in his heart, he was still rather happy. With his head lowered, his face flushed red, "Why did you suddenly tell me this?"

Mu Lingxi raised his hand and dotingly caressed her hair: "Silly girl, I've long wanted to tell you this. It's just that I don't know if you'll reject it or not."

"Since you've already said it, why would you be afraid of being rejected?" Ye Zhuozhuo didn't even look at his eyes, his heart tensed to the extreme.

This fool, as long as he was willing to say such words, how could he refuse?

"So, you promised me?" Mu Lingxi asked while stroking the vines.

Ye Zhuozhuo bit his lower lip, and nodded his head to show his tacit consent.

Mu Lingxi's face revealed a sinister smile, he pulled at Ye Zhuozhuo's little hand: "Brilliant, let's go, I'll bring you to a place!"

"Where are you taking me!" Before Ye Zhuozhuo could finish his words, he was pulled away by Mu Lingxi.

On Bai Yanxi's side, she was alone as she walked to the end of the mountain range. Then, she suddenly arrived at the Great Gan Empire street.

She was standing outside a hall, and inside the hall, it was filled with cheers and jubilation. Around her, there were suddenly a lot of curses and curses.

"The genius Refiner of the Bai Family is only mediocre!"

"Yan Xi, you are truly shameless. In this Refiner Competition, you can't even pass the first round!"

"You have truly blinded all of father's expectations!"

The curses that filled the sky and the praises in the hall formed a clear contrast. This scene was extremely familiar, and instantly pulled Bai Yanxi's thoughts back to three years ago!

Three years ago, she was a genius Refiner of the Night City of Great Gan Empire. At the age of ten, she had the talent to refine a Spiritual Ranked by herself when she was twelve!

With such an achievement, she was suddenly promoted to the top of the clouds. Holding a certain winning stance, she went to participate in the Refiner Great Games held in the capital.

Who would have thought that with such a large number of strong practitioners in the Refiner Competition and Bai Yanxi's weak mental state, in the end, he could not even pass the first round and became the laughing stock of the entire Refiner Competition!

From then on, Bai Yanxi had sunk into depravity again and again, and lost all confidence in the profession of Refiner. That time, had also become the most painful memory in her life.

Later on, her master was also met with a calamity, and that was why she chose to come to the Mercenary Academy to raise her strength. One day, she would avenge her master!

But even so, every time she recalled that memory, it would be incomparably painful. She would only have to avoid it!

"No, it's not like that!" Bai Yanxi covered his ears, wanting to block out the curses and chiding.

But no matter what, she couldn't get rid of it. That memory had already become a shadow in her mind!

She closed her eyes and tried to get rid of it, but those things, one by one, were imprinted into her mind like magic.

Ah!

Finally, she couldn't help but scream as if she had lost her mind. She wanted to frantically escape, but she was powerless to do anything.

Qing Xuan unknowingly returned to the Academy from the Spirit Beast Mountain Range.

Standing in front of him was a masked Black Man. In the Black Man's embrace was a young girl dressed in pink, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

"Qing Er!" Qing Xuan curled his fingers tightly, and his usually calm face actually became flustered and anxious, "Hurry and let her go."

"Haha." The Black Man faced the sky and laughed, threatening, "I already told you, use a hundred thousand gold to save your sister. If there's one less, I want her dead without a burial ground!"

Qing Xuan immediately came to a compromise: "I have already tried my best to raise gold coins, don't hurt Qing Er, if there is anything you want, just come at me, don't hurt her!"

"Big brother, don't worry about me …" Qing Er unclearly said something that made Qing Xuan's heart ache even more.

"It's already been so long, how long are you going to let me go?" Black Man's face was filled with impatience, "I'm getting impatient, I want you to take out a hundred thousand gold right now, or else, I'll suck all her Blood Essence!"

With that, the Black Man grabbed Qing Er's neck and approached him.

"No, no!" Qing Xuan shook his head, and anxiously stopped her, and spoke with an almost pleading tone: "I beg you, if you want the Blood Essence, I have plenty, you come at me, don't hurt my sister!"

Qing Er was his only family member now. If he could not even protect his only sister, then there would be no meaning in living in this world.

Therefore, even if he had to risk his life, he could not let his little sister be harmed!

Black Man acted as if he did not hear his words, he grabbed Qing Er by the neck and increased the strength in his hands. The young lady's miserable scream pierced the sky!

"Qing Er, don't, don't!" Qing Xuan immediately went forward to stop them, but he could not touch Black Man's body at all.

Following that, Qing Er's shrill cries for help could be heard. "Brother, quickly come and save me, quickly save me!"

"Qing Er, Qing Er!" Qing Xuan turned around again and saw his sister's corpse lying in front of him. It was motionless and her entire body was stained with blood.

Ah!" He embraced the young lady whose body was covered in blood. However, he did not notice that a sharp blade had pierced into his shoulder from behind, dripping with blood!

"Qing Er, big brother is here to accompany you, don't be afraid!" At this moment, he only wanted to die with his sister!
