The great battle ended, and Qi Lin, exuding a saintly aura, had eyes that were exceptionally clear in the dark environment, and his mind felt empty.
"Master, I have re-anchored to the last World."
As the voice of the Gate of the Heavens sounded, Qi Lin also put on his clothes neatly.
"Then let's just go straight through!"
Qi Lin didn't know how long it had been since he last visited the Dou Po World, but at least he hadn't breached the contract.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Lin's body instantly disappeared from the bedroom.
…
Wutan City, Xiao Family!
In the past two days, a shocking event had occurred in the Xiao Family.
Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao Family, was actually visited by Nalan Yanran who came to annul their engagement.
Thinking back, how glorious Xiao Yan once was: cultivating Dou Qi at age four, possessing nine segments of Dou Qi at age ten, and successfully condensing a Dou Qi Cyclone at age eleven, becoming the youngest Dou Practitioner in the Xiao Family in a hundred years.
But who would have thought that the genius of yesteryear would plummet in strength after breaking through to a Dou Practitioner, his power regressing to only three segments of Dou Qi.
Even his fiancée, who once had an engagement with him, personally came to annul the engagement in public.
The Xiao Family was, after all, one of the three great families in Wutan City. Nalan Yanran publicly coming to annul the engagement and causing such a stir—wasn't this a slap in the face to the Xiao Family?
In a fit of rage, Xiao Yan made a three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran, but to outsiders, this was undoubtedly him bringing humiliation upon himself, forcefully trying to save face.
Never mind that he was a good-for-nothing now, even if he recovered his former talent, what then?
Could he really catch up to Nalan Yanran's pace from three segments of Dou Qi within three years?
Late at night, in a secluded courtyard, a girl with a cool and indifferent temperament, like a common green lotus, sat quietly, holding an ancient scroll, looking very peaceful.
The girl was dressed in a purple gown, her face still showing a hint of youthfulness, but her delicate features were beautiful and moving, already possessing the beginnings of peerless beauty.
Around her snow-white neck hung a crystal clear, ice-blue jade pendant.
This jade pendant was small and exquisite, carved with a Qilin pattern.
"Miss, it's late!"
From within a shadow, Ling Ying's voice sounded, carrying a hint of age.
Xiao Xun'er paused slightly upon hearing him, then put down the ancient scroll and smiled faintly.
"I didn't realize I had been reading for so long?"
After speaking, she stood up, stretched slightly, and walked towards the room.
Over the years, she would often stay up late, not just for reading or cultivating.
It was simply that she had met her Qi Lin Ge who told her stories and gave her gifts in the middle of the night back then, so she wondered if he might suddenly appear again after she fell asleep, just like last time.
Although she hadn't seen her Qi Lin Ge for eleven years, her impression of her Qi Lin Ge remained deep.
At that time, due to the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, the meridians in her body were always enduring a burning pain, especially at night, which made it difficult for her to sleep.
It just so happened that her father had brought her to the Xiao Family, a strange place, and even though her meridians hurt, she could only curl up in her quilt and cry alone.
But at this moment, Qi Lin Ge appeared, not only telling her many small stories and giving her many delicious things to eat, but also giving her this small Qilin jade pendant.
Ever since she wore this Qilin jade pendant, her meridians had never hurt again.
Thus, as time went on, Xiao Xun'er not only didn't forget Qi Lin but her impression of him grew even deeper, even developing a hazy filter.
This filter grew thicker with time, making Xiao Xun'er both nostalgic and expectant of meeting Qi Lin again.
Unfortunately, she waited for a full eleven years.
They had clearly pinky-sworn to meet the next day.
Qi Lin Ge was truly a liar!
Xiao Xun'er walked into the room as usual, but as she finished washing up and was about to go to bed, a sudden change occurred.
Inside the room, a white light suddenly illuminated, startling both Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying, who was guarding her in the shadows.
But soon, Xiao Xun'er, having regained her composure, suddenly recalled that night eleven years ago.
The scene back then was so similar to now.
Could it be…
Xiao Xun'er's breathing suddenly quickened.
But just as Xiao Xun'er had hoped, when the white light disappeared, a figure appeared out of thin air.
When Qi Lin reappeared before Xiao Xun'er, looking at his familiar face, which she had buried deep in her memories, the hazy filter slowly became clear.
It really was him!
Exactly like the Qi Lin Ge in her memories!
As the figure before her slowly overlapped with the figure in her memories, Xiao Xun'er's eyes were filled only with excitement and joy.
"Qi Lin Ge, Xun'er sees you again!"
Similarly, Qi Lin, who had entered Xiao Xun'er's boudoir again, looked around the room and found it largely similar to when he came yesterday.
Then, his gaze fell on Xiao Xun'er.
The Xiao Xun'er in front of him was naturally very different from the little loli he saw yesterday, but he could still vaguely see traces of her former self on her face.
Qi Lin paused for only a moment before accepting the reality before him.
It seemed that due to that spatial turbulence, one day had passed in the Douluo World, while more than ten years had passed in the Dou Po World.
He just didn't know if the original plot had started yet.
To be honest, Qi Lin really wanted to see the famous scene of Xiao Yan's annulled engagement.
After all, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a young man into poverty!
When he read this novel in his previous life, he was also in his rebellious years and often felt his blood boil because of this sentence, and he often felt troubled because he couldn't fully immerse himself in Xiao Yan's character.
His life had been too smooth, unlike Xiao Yan's life with its great ups and downs, so he couldn't fully understand his state of mind.
Well, it might sound a bit like humblebragging, but it was the truth.
"Xun'er, I didn't expect you to have grown so big," Qi Lin said, looking at Xiao Xun'er with a slight smile.
And Xiao Xun'er was also looking at him.
As her inner excitement subsided, Xiao Xun'er looked at Qi Lin's appearance, which was no different from eleven years ago, and a hint of doubt appeared in her beautiful eyes.
However, Xiao Xun'er still suppressed these doubts in her heart, her tone slightly resentful.
"Qi Lin Ge, you clearly promised me that day that you would come to see Xun'er again the next day, but then you left for eleven years."
Qi Lin paused slightly upon hearing her; it turned out eleven years had passed.
And he also hadn't expected that after so many years, Xiao Xun'er would still recognize him so clearly.
Qi Lin smiled gently: "I didn't want to break my promise to you, but there was a small accident in between. I've made you wait for a long time these past years."
Xiao Xun'er smiled sweetly.
"As long as I can see Qi Lin Ge again, Xun'er is already very satisfied."
