"After arriving in the Immortal Realm, I cultivated for nearly two hundred more years. I encountered a great battle between immortals and gods, and together we established the Five Elements Hall.
After Immortal Venerables were annihilated by the Only God, Wan Jianyi, Donghuang Taiyi, and I spent a thousand years to achieve sainthood.
Upon achieving sainthood, Immortal Venerable returned, only to face an invasion by the demon race. We fought for another hundred years."
Wan Lei was puzzled. Why was the Ancestor telling him all this?
"Calculating the time, by the time I was able to spare time to search for her, over thirteen hundred years had passed since her death.
After the war subsided, I entrusted the Ghost Emperor to help me find her.
The Ghost Emperor quickly found... the records.
It turned out that a hundred years before I looked for her, that is, before the demon invasion, she had chosen to reincarnate.
Of course, I was unwilling. I went directly to find her reincarnated identity.
She reincarnated into a high-level spiritual plane. As you all know, reincarnation comes with no memories.
At that time, she was already a hundred years old, a Nascent Soul cultivator, with her own Dao companion, her own children, her own family, and she was the top combatant of a small sect, a stabilizing force.
That day, I went to see her alone, unlocked her memories from her previous life, and asked if she was willing to come with me.
But she said that the past life was the past life, and this life is this life. After a person loses their memories and changes their identity, they become a completely different person.
In this life, she has her own life, people she needs to protect, and she is unwilling to come with me.
I can understand this. Everyone is an independent individual with the right to choose their own life. I cannot force her.
Fate brings us together and fate separates us. My fate with her has ended. It was already fortunate to have accompanied her for a lifetime.
I sealed the memories of her seeing me and her past life memories, left her some elixirs and spiritual treasures, and then departed.
From that day on, I let go of my obsession with her. She has her life, and I should continue on my path.
Let us forget each other in the rivers and lakes, and just live happily."
Wan Qingyi's words resonated with Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu, and they nodded repeatedly.
"Ancestor possesses great wisdom."
Wan Qingyi looked at Wan Lei with surprise.
"Oh? In that case, do you also support me pursuing my own happiness?"
"Ah? What?"
Wan Lei's thoughts suddenly became discontinuous, and Fang Xiaoyu's eyes widened.
At this moment, they had just flown to a refined courtyard on a mountaintop behind the Wind Hall.
"My precious Xiao Qiuqiu, are you home? Your good brother sees you have arrived."
Wan Qingyi called out before he was even seen.
Lei Yu were shocked. Was this their ancestor? They suddenly felt very embarrassed.
As they flew closer, Wan Lei could finally see the figure of a woman in the refined courtyard.
This woman was tall and slender, wearing a gradient sky-blue long dress that accentuated her curves. When Wan Lei saw her face clearly, his eyes lit up.
This woman's appearance bore some resemblance to Fire Immortal Venerable. Her pointed face was not without softness, and her eyes beneath her curved brows were incredibly beautiful, as if they could capture one's soul. Beneath her high-bridged nose, her cherry-like lips curved into a cold smile as she looked at them calmly.
Judging by her appearance alone, this woman was undoubtedly extremely beautiful, enough to drive any man mad.
However, her ice-like demeanor was enough to make countless people hesitate.
Wan Lei was all too familiar with this demeanor. Wasn't this the former Fang Xiaoyu?
However, there were still significant differences. Fang Xiaoyu was an ice-cold loli, while Ruo Shuiqiu was a typical regal and aloof older sister.
"Xiao Qiu, my darling, have you missed your big brother?"
Naturally, Wan Qingyi was not among the countless people who hesitated.
Ruo Shuiqiu slightly raised her eyelids, her smile deepening into a cold sneer. A green lotus bloomed from her mouth, and she uttered a beautiful word softly:
"Scram."
This was quite awkward. Ancestor, are you really that familiar with her? Da Feng Novel Network
"Look at what you're saying, how distant. I'm here on official business this time."
Wan Qingyi, acting as if they were old friends, descended into Ruo Shuiqiu's courtyard with Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu.
"Greetings, Wind Saint."
The two paid their respects.
After rising, Wan Lei carefully observed the Hall Master of the Wind Hall before him.
Before entering the Five Elements Hall, Xiao Jin had told him that the Hall Master of the Wind Hall possessed extraordinary talent, shattering all previous assessment records until his own arrival.
She was also the only one to achieve sainthood in nearly twenty thousand years, though this record was later broken by the Six-Eared Macaque, who was merely a pseudo-saint.
Furthermore, she was the second of the Four Great Beauties he had encountered. Her beauty, while not on par with Fire Immortal Venerable, was certainly comparable to the Hall Master of the Water Hall.
Xi Sha was gentle and delicate, evoking a desire to protect, whereas Ruo Shuiqiu made one want to hug her thigh and cry out for protection from their queen.
With these two already so beautiful, Wan Lei couldn't help but imagine what the other two Great Beauties looked like and what their demeanor was like.
Fortunately, Wan Lei's long period of disguise in prison had honed his acting skills to perfection. Although he was thinking about the Four Great Beauties, he remained outwardly composed, his gaze respectfully fixed on Ruo Shuiqiu, without any ill intentions.
Wan Qingyi continued to smile shamelessly.
"Qiuqiu, I've come to introduce you to a good disciple. She possesses the same Innate Wind Body as you..."
"I have heard of Fang Xiaoyu."
Ruo Shuiqiu coldly interrupted Wan Qingyi and then looked at Fang Xiaoyu.
"I knew about you from the very first day you arrived at the Five Elements Hall. I've also reviewed your file." Da Feng Novel.
Fang Xiaoyu said excitedly upon hearing this,
"Then, Master, are you willing to take me as your disciple?"
"Are you a disciple of the Five Elements Hall? I only accept disciples of the Five Elements Hall. Please pass the assessment first."
"Yes, yes, first the assessment, then she'll be a disciple of the Five Elements Hall. Then Qiuqiu will naturally take you as her personal disciple."
"I never said that."
Ruo Shuiqiu said coldly.
"My standards for accepting disciples have always been strict. To this day, I have only accepted Ling Xin. If your talent and assessment results satisfy me, I will consider taking you as a disciple."
"Qiuqiu, the standards you mentioned are too vague. How about setting a score? If you exceed that score, you'll take me as a disciple?"
Wan Qingyi's smile grew more cunning.
"Alright. If your score exceeds Wan Lei's, I will."
Wan Lei frowned upon hearing this. His scores had broken records to an incredible extent. At that time, he had spared no effort to gain status within the Five Elements Hall. For Fang Xiaoyu to break them would be extremely difficult.
At this moment, Wan Qingyi spoke again.
"Qiuqiu, that's not right. You know, Wan Lei was personally trained by the five Immortal Venerables. He has Origin-level talent, and his scores cannot be considered the scores of ordinary disciples.
How can someone personally trained by Immortal Venerables have their scores surpassed by others?"
