“Damn it! What’s going on? I want to go back, but I can’t. That kid doesn’t want to go back, yet he does! Is this really fate playing tricks on me?” Yun Xinghe grumbled as he sat on a block of ice.
Although Ling Kui and the others didn’t know why Li Xiaonan had suddenly disappeared, they could tell from Yun Xinghe’s frustrated expression that the situation was serious.
“Big Brother, where did Xiao Nan go?” Ling Kui asked.
Yun Xinghe looked up at them and said, “He went back home!”
Ling Kui was taken aback; she knew better than anyone where Li Xiaonan's home was. Her eyes widened as she murmured, “The… Earth…”
“You know?”
Ling Kui nodded and took a deep breath. “Will he come back?”
Yun Xinghe pursed his lips and shook his head. “I don’t know, but with his current understanding of space, it’s unlikely!”
“What should we do?” Yun Moyu said anxiously.
In fact, it wasn’t just her; all the girls wore expressions filled with worry. If Li Xiaonan couldn’t return, they might have to live with endless longing for the rest of their lives.
Yun Xinghe sighed and scratched his head. “You all… give me a moment to think…”
He furrowed his brow and paced back and forth in the cave. An hour passed… then two hours…
Before long, a day had gone by. Yun Moyu frowned and said, “What about Sister Ling? If she can’t think of a solution either, won’t we be unable to see Xiao Nan for the rest of our lives?”
As she spoke, Yun Moyu's eyes became moist, and when the first tear fell, it was like a broken faucet that could no longer be stopped.
Ling Kui wrapped her arms around Yun Moyu, gently patting her slender back.
Her own eyes were also a bit wet; she didn’t know what to do.
In the past, no matter what happened, Li Xiaonan was always by her side, but now the problem was that Li Xiaonan was gone.
Crying seemed contagious; when one girl cried, they all cried.
In the cold cave, the sound of sobbing echoed, and Yun Xinghe's tightly furrowed brows twisted into a knot.
He shouted angrily, "Are you all done? What are you crying about? Shut up!"
"Woo woo woo..." The trees wanted to be still, but the wind would not cease.
A chilling wind howled like a ghost.
Yun Xinghe rubbed his forehead and muttered to himself, "You little brat have caused me a big headache! Sigh, who told you to be my brother? If I don’t help you, who will?"
He slowly lowered his hand, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes. "Alright, stop crying! I'll send you over there, and then you bring him back!"
The girls stopped crying and looked at Yun Xinghe with sparkling eyes, making him feel a sudden chill run down his spine.
He said, "Each of you needs to provide something closely related to him, like a token he gave you."
The girls nodded. Ling Kui took off the ring from Nameless's finger, Yun Moyu removed the jade flute from her waist, Li Baobao took off her anklet, Yuan Xian'er removed the White Orchid Hairpin, and Luna took off her armlet.
Yun Xinghe also took out the ring he had kept for Li Xiaonan.
He glanced around and frowned again. He looked at Lu Shang and asked, "Did he ever give you anything?"
"I..." Lu Shang bit her lip, unable to respond.
Yun Xinghe shook his head and said, "The Seven Stars Gathering Array requires seven items. If Yanrong isn't dead, we could complete the array, but now..."
The flicker of hope was extinguished again. Ling Kui clenched her fists tightly and said, "I'll find a way to go to the Demon Realm and look for Fei Ji; she should have what we need."
Yun Moyu nodded, "It's a pity we don't know where Lu Ni Chang is. I remember she had a doll. If she were here, everything would be easier!"
"Enough talk! I'll set off immediately!"
"Wait! Sister Ling, there's no need to trouble yourself. Brother Yun, you set up the array!" Lu Shang took out a doll and whispered.
The doll wore a purple fluffy skirt adorned with black lace patterns, looking both cute and not overly seductive.
What was even more surprising was that the doll bore an uncanny resemblance to a person.
Yun Moyu was the first to react, exclaiming, "Lu Ni Chang! It's you! Why didn't you reveal yourself to us? Do you know how much Xiao Nan suffered searching for you in the Underworld?"
Lu Nishang was taken aback, tears shimmering in her eyes as she said, "Brother Xiaonan came to the Underworld looking for me? He... he hasn't forgotten me..."
"How could he forget you! He nearly got killed by your father while searching for you. Later, he thought you had gone to the Demon Realm with someone else. After much trouble, Fei Ji figured out you were in the Immortal Realm. Do you know how happy yet worried he was?"
"I..." Tears streamed down Lu Nishang's face as she bit her lip tightly, unable to utter a word.
Yuan Xian'er walked over and gently patted her shoulder, saying, "Sister Mo Yu, stop it. Perhaps Lu Ni Chang has her reasons. Isn't it good now? Lu Ni Chang is back."
Yun Moyu scoffed, "Yes! She has revealed herself to us, but Xiao Nan is lost and Sister Yanrong is dead!"
Ling Kui frowned slightly and retorted angrily, "Mo Yu, enough! No one wanted these things to happen; why push all the blame onto Lu Ni Chang?"
Yun Moyu bit her lip tightly and looked up coldly, struggling to hold back the tears in her eyes.
She knew she couldn't blame Lu Ni Chang, but she just couldn't understand.
Lu Ni Chang was right there, so why didn't she recognize Xiao Nan?
Ling Kui gently pulled Yun Moyu and Lu Nishang's hands and said, "Since we're here, let's be good sisters from now on. Let's tidy up; we need to go find Xiao Nan."
Lu Nishang trembled lightly, suddenly stepping back two paces, tears streaming down her face as she cried, "Sister Mo Yu is right; it's my fault! It's all my fault! If it weren't for me, Sister Yanrong wouldn't have died! If it weren't for me, Xiao Nan wouldn't be so heartbroken! It's me who deserves to die! It's me!"
She hurriedly threw down those words and flew out of the cave.
Yun Moyu cast a cold glance at the cave entrance and said dismissively, "Now we have seven items; you can set up the formation."
Yun Xinghe shook his head and pouted, "I think you should hurry up and bring that girl back. If the items are here but not the person, it won't work!"
Yun Moyu was taken aback, wishing she could slap herself. If it weren't for her unfiltered mouth, perhaps Lu Nishang wouldn't have stormed off.
She stomped her foot in frustration and declared, "I'll go after her!"
Yuan Xian'er grabbed her and said, "Let me go instead!"
Ling Kui held onto Yun Moyu and nodded.
The journey to find their loved ones was fraught with challenges, while on Earth, Li Xiaonan was living an extraordinary life as an ordinary person.
Zhang Pinghai asked in confusion, "How could this be a problem?"
Li Xiaonan looked at the variety of dishes and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth. "Did you not see her panicked expression?"
Zhang Pinghai shrugged dismissively. "So what if she did?"
Li Xiaonan shook her head helplessly and changed the subject. "Do you want some scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
"Hey, be careful. If you treat a beautiful girl to scrambled eggs with tomatoes, she might just throw a tomato at you!"
Li Xiaonan chuckled lightly.
The two of them exchanged banter as they ordered quite a few dishes, including Pepper Beef with only green peppers, Curry Chicken without chicken pieces, and Cold Cucumber Salad... Of course, there was also the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that Li Xiaonan insisted on, but unfortunately, there were no eggs.
Li Xiaonan also ordered eight liang of rice, which earned him a disdainful look from Zhang Pinghai.
"Look at you, so thin and small. Where does all this rice go?"
"What do you mean thin and small? I'm compact and powerful, okay? Look! It's all muscle! Let's hurry back; we can't keep Teacher Qin waiting!"
Li Xiaonan carried two full trays and followed Zhang Pinghai as they made their way back.
As soon as they reached the table, they heard Zhang Pinghai arguing with someone: "We've already claimed this spot!"
Li Xiaonan leaned forward and saw a male student with a hooked nose sitting in his spot, his gaze cold and fixated on Qin Yu. Meanwhile, Qin Yu kept her head down, not saying a word.
Li Xiaonan frowned; he immediately sensed something was off.
The man's gaze was blatantly filled with naked greed and desire—he must be one of Qin Yu's admirers.
However, Qin Yu's demeanor showed fear rather than simple rejection.
How could a teacher be so intimidated by a student?
It seemed this guy was not simple!
Li Xiaonan had a keen eye; the person before him was none other than Fang Jun, the son of the president of S University—a standard high-rich-handsome figure in the eyes of many girls.
Fang Jun shot a cold glance at Zhang Pinghai and Li Xiaonan and said, "You refuse me by saying you have an appointment? Is it really just to have dinner with these two losers?"
"Hey, what do you mean? What’s your major? Who are you?" Zhang Pinghai said angrily.
"Hmph!" Fang Jun slowly stood up and left without saying a word.
Zhang Pinghai rolled his eyes at Fang Jun's retreating figure and muttered, "What a weirdo!"
"Alright, forget about him. Let's eat!" Li Xiaonan smiled slightly and sat down across from Qin Yu.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have used you as an excuse. Now I've dragged you into this," Qin Yu said, lifting his head with a look full of regret.
Li Xiaonan pretended not to hear and asked, "Teacher Qin, why aren't you eating? Is the food we bought not to your taste?"
Qin Yu shook his head and began to eat.
When the three of them left the cafeteria and returned to their dorms, Zhang Pinghai let out a long sigh and said, "That meal was so awkward! It was my first time having dinner with a beautiful girl, and it was so frustrating!"
"She must be even more frustrated than us. Alright, you head back to the dorm first; I still have some things to do."
As he spoke, Li Xiaonan walked toward a dark alley.
Zhang Pinghai grabbed him and said, "Where are you going on the path to graduate school? You're not a girl. Well... even though BL is quite popular now, your face isn't exactly charming enough!"
"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking? I lost something on that path during the day and plan to go look for it! Why do you have to make it sound so terrible?"
Zhang Pinghai laughed heartily and waved his hand dismissively. "Come on, stop pretending to be wronged. Who are you trying to impress? I'll head back to the dorm now!"
Li Xiaonan shook his head helplessly and stepped into the area designated as the path to graduate school.
He wasn't lying; he had indeed lost something—everything related to the Starry Illusion Continent. To get it back, he first needed to have some cultivation!
He crossed over the bushes by the roadside and found a secluded spot to sit down.
He lifted his head, and through the interwoven branches, he could faintly see the bright moon in the night sky.
The sky of the big city lacked starlight; the full moon appeared particularly beautiful yet also desolate.
He took a deep breath, gently stroking the Soul Ring on his index finger. Sitting cross-legged, he formed hand seals and began to comprehend the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth according to the principles of the Martial Soul Technique.
"Qin Yu!"
"I am your teacher; how can you call me by my name?"
"In class, you are my teacher, but outside of class, you are my girlfriend. Why shouldn't I call you by your name? Just now, in front of those two guys, I already gave you enough face. What are you sulking about?"
"Fang Jun, when did I ever agree to be your girlfriend?"
"Whether you agree or not, it's a fact!"
"What... what do you want to do? Let! Go of me!"
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly. She couldn't sense any Spiritual Energy, but she heard someone arguing. She recognized both of them; they were Qin Yu and Fang Jun.
