"Junior sister Liu, why did you stop suddenly? Did you notice something strange, or maybe you felt unwell?"
Upon hearing this, the woman shook her head slightly, her eyes never leaving Luo Chuan below, and spoke softly, her tone soft but with an unmistakable certainty:
"Brothers, you can go back to the sect first. I have a private matter to attend to here, so there is no need to wait for me."
After saying that, the purple glow around the woman's body circulated slightly, and she was already ready to leave alone.
An older senior brother looked hesitant and wanted to stay with her. He was afraid that she would encounter unknown dangers alone, so he was about to step forward to persuade her.
The woman seemed to sense the thoughts of her fellow disciples, and spoke softly again, with a gentle tone but a firm attitude. "You don't have to worry too much, I can do it alone, no need to accompany you."
The gentle words brought with them an aura of alienation, causing all the fellow disciples to suddenly stop in their tracks.
Everyone looked at each other, puzzled, but did not dare to disturb him.
Knowing that Junior Sister Liu has always been gentle in nature but has her own opinions, she never changes her mind once she makes a decision, so she can only suppress the doubts in her heart and bow her head.
Riding the aura of the rainbow, full of surprise and confusion, it flew away from the dust and disappeared at the end of the sea of clouds in the sky.
All the fellow disciples above the sea of clouds in the sky left, and the world suddenly became pure.
The woman in purple clothes stood alone in the sky, staring quietly at the old figure below for a moment, no longer hesitating.
The sleeves of the robe are fluttering, purple clouds are lingering around the body, and the body is as light as a feather, walking on the flowing clouds in the sky, slowly falling towards the ground.
The fairy posture is graceful and the falling posture is beautiful, just like the mysterious goddess from the Nine Heavens falling to the mortal world, without any killing power, only a faint fairy charm flowing around her body.
In an instant, she had landed on the ground and was standing ten feet away in front of Luo Chuan.
So close to each other, right in front of our eyes.
Luo Chuan finally stopped walking, turned around slowly, raised his eyes calmly, and looked at the woman in purple with peerless beauty in front of him.
What he saw before his eyes was the most stunning beauty he had ever seen in his half-life journey through the world of mortals and all the romance in the world.
Such appearance and charm far surpassed all the women he had seen when he was young. Even the famous Zhao Kingdom and the stunning Zhou Rui were inferior in comparison.
But in the face of this peerless face that can make all living beings in the world fall in love with her, Luo Chuan's state of mind is completely calm, without any ripples.
Half his life was spent in Confucianism and Daoism, and half his life he saw through the ups and downs of life and death. His vision had already transcended the shackles of skin and color.
No matter how beautiful and moving the face is, it is ultimately the skinned body of mortal immortal bones. After a hundred years, it will turn into a handful of loess, a wisp of dust, and return to the void of heaven and earth.
Prosperity and appearance are all illusions, only the true path of the original mind and the supreme principles of heaven and earth are eternal.
Therefore, there is no surprise or greed in Luo Chuan's eyes, only a transparency and peace that have experienced the world.
The woman in purple clothes stood quietly opposite, her clear eyes looking at the old man in front of her without blinking.
The woman looked carefully at Luo Chuan's frosty white hair, at his old face covered with ravines of time, and at the endless vicissitudes of life accumulated in his body.
But what shocked her the most was the old man's bright eyes that could see through the world and encompass the world.
Those eyes have become clearer over the years, weathered but wiser, as if they have read through all eternity and understood all the secrets of the world, hiding a vastness and depth that she cannot understand.
The woman stood for a long time, staring silently, her mind turbulent. After a long time, she finally put away all the complicated emotions in her eyes.
He bowed slightly and solemnly bowed to Luo Chuan as if he were a junior meeting an elder. His posture was humble and his heart was solemn.
"The junior had a chance encounter with the old man decades ago. Today we meet again. This is the second time. I wonder if the old man still remembers the junior?"
Liu Mei's voice was soft and melodious, with a hint of cautious expectation and a hint of uneasiness that even he had not noticed.
Luo Chuan stared at the beautiful and peerless eyebrows in front of him, and slowly reviewed the memories of half his life in his mind, carefully sorting out the traces of all the people he had met in the past.
After a while, the thoughtful look in his eyes slowly faded away, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a hoarse old voice slowly sounded, gentle and calm:
"The years have been long, we have met countless times, and I can no longer remember the past."
Liu Mei Hearing this, a hint of disappointment quietly passed through his eyes, but he soon felt relieved, nodded gently, and said softly, "It is normal for things to be ups and downs in the world, to forget memories over time, and not to be able to remember."
After a pause, Liu Mei raised his eyes to look at Luo Chuan again, with lingering familiarity and confusion in his eyes, and asked softly, "It's just that I am always confused in my heart. Every time I see the old man, I will have a very deep feeling of familiarity."
"This familiarity is not from the one meeting decades ago. It seems to come from a much longer past, which is so elusive and hard to find."
"I wonder if the old man can tell me your name?"
Luo Chuan's eyes were calm, not hiding any trouble, and he responded calmly, "My name is Luo Chuan."
"Luo Chuan..."
Liu Mei recited these two words in a low voice, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly again, and her mind quickly searched for all the records in the world of cultivation and the mortal world.
After a moment of thinking, a trace of hesitation and surprise flashed in Liu Mei's eyes, and he confirmed softly. "But Mr. Luo Chuan, the great Confucian Zhao Kingdom who has traveled to all countries and educated all peoples for decades, is famous throughout Vermilion Bird Planet?"
"It's me." Luo Chuan nodded slightly, his eyes reflected the vicissitudes of his life, and his eyes were as deep as the sea, accommodating all kinds of things in the world, calm and unruffled.
Liu Mei stood there in a daze, thinking carefully for a long time, looking through all his memories, sect books, and worldly rumors, but he still could not find any trace of his past origins that matched the old man in front of him.
But the familiar feeling that penetrates deep into the soul and is unforgettable, as well as the sharp stabbing pain that suddenly surges in the bottom of my heart, are so real.
Especially when looking at the other person's old and weather-beaten appearance, there is an inexplicable sense of sadness lingering in the stinging pain.
The mixed feelings of sourness and regret made her unable to calm down for a long time.
The Soul Emperor has never understood that an old Confucian man in this mortal world and himself, a cultivating monk, are separated by immortality and mortals, and their paths are completely different.
No origin, no intersection.
Why did he let himself have such a heart-wrenching, strange and familiar bond?
After a long time, Liu Mei sighed softly, suppressed all the chaotic and complicated emotions in his heart, bowed slightly to Luo Chuan, and said softly:
"It's the junior who caused the disturbance. Since there is no opportunity to trace the source, the junior will no longer disturb the master to clear his spiritual path, and I will say goodbye."
After saying that, Liu Mei was about to turn around and leave.
At the moment when Liu Mei's body moved slightly, Luo Chuan's slightly hoarse old voice sounded softly and asked her to stay, "Girl, wait a minute. I don't know the girl's name?"
Liu Mei turned around and looked back, a gentle and touching smile spread across her peerless face. Her eyes were clear and gentle, enough to soothe all the irritations in the world.
