🕑 Added 2022-09-22 10:36:41 +0000 UTC"You know she likes me?" Fang Dingyuan lifts his head and asks in amazement. He leans back against the formation again. At this time, there are spots of light on the diagram, like the twinkling stars in the night sky above.
"Yes." The reply is as quiet as before, but the soft, velvety voice is making Fang Dingyuan's face go red.
"Then do you know that I like you?" There’s a smile on his face, but he is extremely nervous.
The one inside the formation doesn’t answer. Although he’s a little disappointed, he doesn’t show it. Instead, he stands up and reaches out with his fingertips to trace the thin lines Li Xinmei had drawn, from left to right, gently caressing.
Spiritual energy floats around, and it’s as if a painting being is drawn on the formation diagram. One by one, flowers bloom on the branches, blooming on the diagram, and blooming in her heart.
A while later, she sighs softly.
She liked someone back then. That kind of love was merely silent, just hidden in her heart and was never spoken out loud. Because he saved her and Granny, and because he was the only man she had some contact with when she first started having romantic feelings.
But Fang Dingyuan woke her up.
After that, he accompanied her day and night. She doesn't have a body now, she's just a formation diagram. He gets annoyed when others would stop and stay near the formation, and gets irritated when others touch her.
He carefully cleans the diagram, so as not to leave a trace of dust on it.
He would worry about her loneliness and tell her many stories. He's told ridiculous tall tales of his childhood, many times in different ways.
Back then, when she found out that she ultimately failed to save her Granny, Li Xinmei felt so sad. She didn't want to remember anymore. She only knew that every memory was full of sadness.
It was Fang Dingyuan who made her come out of her grief.
That old trace of love in her heart has gradually faded away, becoming unfamiliar and distant. Liu Feizhou’s appearance blurred in her memory.
When she was in pain, when she was lonely and helpless, Fang Dingyuan reassured her and gave her constant company.
But she has no body now, and her primordial spirit is in the formation.
There are thousands of words that she can’t say, so she only sighs.
And after that sigh, Fang Dingyuan doesn’t keep talking. He only comes closer to the diagram, and gently lays a kiss on it.
Inside the formation, she could feel it.
But he still asks, "Do you feel that?"
Li Xinmei's primordial spirit shrinks to the corner of the formation. She thinks that if she has a body, her face would definitely be on fire at this moment.
Fang Dingyuan waits for a long time without getting a reply, then he just sits on the ground with his back against the formation. Then, inside the formation, Li Xinmei curls forward a bit, and she reaches out to hug that broad back.
Just that one act, it makes her feel satisfied.
Yes, she’s used to being with him, and she likes him too.
...
Su Tingyun rushes to the original location of Wuliang Mountain. She doesn’t see Ren Yi, and she has stayed in the Kunlun Divine Tree for about a month. If Ren Yi didn't stay in the Wuliang Sect, he should have returned to the Obliteration Sword Tower.
Or maybe he jumped off the cliff again? Su Tingyun doesn't intend to concern herself with Bai Chengyu for the time being. She has to find Xiao Mei first. After being apart for so long, she doesn’t want to delay any longer.
The place where the Array Hall is located is left unchecked and is overgrown with weeds. The cultivators of the Treasure Pavilion have not set up a barrier there to get money. At this time, it is nighttime and there’s no one around. She has the jade token and carefully enters, then she blinks. The scenery changes, and it's as if she has been transported to a different place.
Su Tingyun has never actually been to the Array Hall.
But she has listened to Li Xinmei talk about it so many times that she knows what’s in the Array Hall. Now that she sees it, she finds that it’s not much different from her memories.
She takes out the Soul Lamp, and goes up the stone steps, one foot at a time, following the direction where candle flame is pointing, towards the formation diagram.
Just then, Fang Dingyuan suddenly opens his eyes. He never thought that the Qiankun Array Hall that is currently inside a formation would suddenly have an outsider intruding into it, without even making a commotion or arousing anyone’s attention.
How the hell did this person get in!
