"Grandpa, I'm back!"

Zhao Yuanguang, who had folded the last piece of clothing, raised his head and looked at the wild wind that was completely different from three years ago with a smile.

In the past three years, they have been to many places. They have gone to the mountains to plant fruit trees, to the seaside to dry salt, to dig coal, and to work as a merchant. After arriving in Xiyuan Kingdom, she changed from a servant beside a merchant to a waiter and horse boy in a restaurant, and he was hired as a bookkeeper in the restaurant.

The little girl who used to be carried on his back has now learned how to farm and ride horses, go hunting in the mountains, settle accounts, and greet businessmen in the inn every day. Not only has her horizons broadened, she has learned to be sophisticated and harmonious, but the shadow of an official girl in her has long since faded away.

However, this alone is not enough.

"Let's leave here tomorrow." Zhao Yuanguang withdrew his gaze and said as he put the folded clothes into the prepared baggage.

"So soon?" Yefeng, who was originally full of joy, was stunned. He didn't expect that they had finally settled down for a few months and would be on the road again in the blink of an eye.

"You have learned everything you can learn here, there is no need to stay anymore." The world is very wide, and the world is even more vast. For now, she can live her life like a fish in water, and that is enough. She cannot just stay here as a servant forever.

"Where are you going next?" Yefeng asked without energy. When she thought about having to travel and work hard again, she missed the stable days very much.

Zhao Yuanguang tapped her on the top and took the silver bag in her hand.

"What you should ask is what you want to learn next." If she is allowed to stay any longer, her ability to flatter every guest will become more and more powerful. Does she plan to live as a servant who relies on rewards for the rest of her life?

"What should I learn?" She was only a few years old, and she had already learned a lot of Lala Zaza. Although she was not expert in everything, it was enough. However, he just thought that having too many skills was not enough, and always wanted her to learn other things, which made them drift from country to country like duckweeds.

"Medicine." Zhao Yuanguang packed up the baggage and pulled her up to sit upright on the table. "Your grandfather was a famous doctor, and your mother was also talented in this field, and you..." Yefeng scratched his hair, "I just passed the time and memorized a few medical books." When she was in prison, during the long nights, the only entertainment besides digging holes was endorsement. Who told her that when she escaped from her grandfather's house, she only stuffed a few medical books in her arms?

"How many copies?"

"More than ten copies." In addition to the ones from my grandfather's family, there were also ones bought by Zhao Yuanguang.

"Have you memorized everything?" Zhao Yuanguang, who had noticed something strange a long time ago, asked again calmly.

"...It's very familiar." She frowned and thought about it, and found that the contents she had memorized seemed to be imprinted in her mind, and she had not forgotten even a single word.

He raised his hand and hit her on the forehead again, "That's why you shouldn't bury this talent."

"Okay..." She dropped her shoulders in frustration, "I'm going to pack my luggage right now."

"Why don't you ask your grandfather why he wants you to learn so much?" Zhao Yuanguang looked at her resigned look in amusement when she turned around to leave.

Yefeng slowly raised his head, his big black and white eyes showed no frustration just now, but there were expectations and hope for life.

"To keep me alive." From the moment they left Shayu Country, every step they took and every footprint they left were all for a wish.

Just to survive.

These three words may seem simple, or even ordinary, but those who have never experienced soul disaster will not know that when life is not regarded as life, and even the qualifications of being a human being are deprived of it, and are reduced to just materials used to make wishes, these three words become the hardships of the butcher's knife.

All the hopes in life are like broken bones scattered on the ground, unable to be put back together or reunited. Every day when watching the companions in prison being pulled out to make wishes, self-esteem has long been like a spring flower that has fallen into the mud. No one thinks it is important, and no one has the heart to pick it up.

Like many people who are constantly wandering between life and death, she lives in the predicament of not knowing whether there will be a future. She just wants to breathe more, looking forward to getting some minced meat in the soup for the next meal, to get less beatings at work, and to have a winter coat to protect herself from the cold... Others will not know that just to survive, she has exhausted all her energy and strength.

"It is so that you can survive in any place and in any environment." Zhao Yuanguang held her wrist and pulled her in front of him. His fingertips slowly touched the scars on her face. "An unyielding grass will never prostrate to the ground."

"Yes." Yefeng coquettishly placed his palm on top of his head and rubbed his head against his palm.

He smiled and rubbed her hard a few times. Seeing her grinning happily, he scratched her chin with his fingers. She squinted her eyes in enjoyment like a cat, and she was so comfortable that she almost snored.

"Grow up early, you know?"

"I know."

The unstable candlelight on the table stretched the snuggling figure of the grandfather and grandson very long, and then swayed into a warm warmth, even if there might be wind and rain outside the window, or there might be thorns everywhere tomorrow.

In the following years, they traveled north and south of the Yangtze River, through various countries and cities, and through mountains and deserts. The soul disaster that once brought disaster to the entire continent gradually subsided due to the vigorous counterattacks of the leaders of each country. Order was restored in the countries and vitality was rekindled.

After Yefeng and the others wandered for ten years, Yefeng took the elderly and seriously ill Zhao Yuanguang back to his hometown, spending the last few months of his life with him, and dying for him as his granddaughter.

Chapter 2(1)

In these years, Ye Ci, who was in Yuntori Palace, did not do nothing, nor did he put his hands behind his back and let the next new master of the shrine fall away without sending anyone to find him. On the contrary, he was an anxious ant in the pot, always wanting to know the whereabouts of the new palace master and to leave the prison of the shrine as soon as possible so that he could personally meet the palace master who had been in his heart for many years.

But he can't.

Ever since Ye Ci took over the position of priest and officially fought against the Young Palace Master Situ Shuang, the entire palace has become a living prison.

The soul service Yun Guo was promised by Situ Shuang was a master of the formation who died tragically a thousand years ago. Under the orders of the soul master Situ Shuang, Yun Guo set up a soul refining formation outside the entire Yuntei Palace at the expense of his own mid-level life force, trapping thousands of people in the Yuntei Palace in the formation, and also trapped Ye Ci's search for the new palace master in the palace.

So over the years, while Ye Ci has been sending people outside the palace to inquire about the whereabouts of the new palace master, he has also been working hard to improve his own strength in seclusion, hoping that after breaking the formation, he can go to Jishan Taoist Temple in person to get such information.

And just this night

Ye Ci, who had been in seclusion for several months, just came out of seclusion and led his people to break into the large formation outside the palace. Yun Guo, who came after hearing the news, at first thought that Ye Ci was once again doing the same futile work as before, thinking that he could break the formation with his junior level strength alone.But just when Yun Guo was about to go to the formation, intending to extinguish Ye Ci's expectations again, suddenly, the stars that were still twinkling in the sky seemed to be covered by the darkness, and the crescent moon slanting in the west also lost its fragrance.

The next moment, an extremely harsh roar rang out. Yun Guo raised his head alertly, only to see that the nine hundred and ninety-nine innocent souls that he had bound in the formation to support the formation's eyes had turned into streaks of white light and roared into the sky.His heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly turned into a black mist and rushed towards Ye Ci who was breaking the formation.

Ye Ci, who was trying his best to break through the formation, seemed to have eyes behind him. When the black mist was about to hit him, he turned slightly and avoided the full palm of Yun Guo, who was transformed into a human form by the black mist. At the same time, he raised his right hand and turned it into a claw. He quickly and accurately penetrated Yun Guo's left chest and grasped Yun Guo's heart that had stopped beating thousands of years ago.

Yun Guo stared down at his hand that was buried in his chest, his wide eyes full of disbelief.

"This is impossible..." This kid... was just a junior phase leveler a few months ago. If you want to kill him, an intermediate phase leveler, you have to be at least the same level or a higher level. But in just a few months, how could Ye Ci... Ye Ci didn't even look at him, and spontaneously broke the heart in his palm.
