All kinds of news made this party joyful and heavy.
When it was late at night and the guests had dispersed, Bai Mengjin looked at the changes in the main room.
The layout of the main room in the middle is roughly similar, but the furniture and furnishings have been changed, making it look much more stable. Next to the partition is the study room, where Ling Bufei usually does his homework and plays with his gadgets. Now there are bookshelves and desks, and thick books and files are piled up, but the toys are nowhere to be seen.
She walked over and flipped through the files. Most of them were about sect affairs. They were dense and boring. They were things he didn't want to read at a glance before.
It's really different. She deeply realized the passage of twenty years.
"Meng Jin?" Ling Bufei stood at the partition and looked at her hesitantly.
To him, these twenty years were just a longer wait, and there was no difference between the two of them. But the look on her face made him realize that wasn't the case for her.
She took a long sleep, and when she woke up, she faced a world that was very different from before, including him.
If Ling Bufei had to say it himself, he had indeed changed a lot in the past twenty years.
In the beginning, he was a person with little desire for power. Because his uncle was pushed down by his own hands, he must take responsibility. Furthermore, he promised Bai Mengjin to make her the real leader of Wuji Sect. Then after she falls asleep, he must take the power in his hands and wait for her return.
Therefore, he was forced to take over the responsibility, learn to handle the sect affairs little by little, improve his cultivation, and represent the Wuji Sect in battle at critical moments...
After twenty years of hard work, he finally became a competent young sect leader, but he also became different from what she remembered.
Would she think he was strange? Just like when I first woke up, I thought he was a stranger when I saw him.
Bai Mengjin turned his head and raised his eyebrows at him: "Huh?"
Meeting her eyes, Ling Bufei suddenly felt that he had thought too much. She just woke up and didn't react for a moment. Twenty years is a long time for a mortal, but it's just a blink of an eye for a monk.
"You don't know how miserable I've been in the past twenty years. Look, there are so many files and documents, it's dizzying to see. I really don't know why my uncle likes to be the leader of the clan."
Hearing his complaining tone, Bai Mengjin smiled: "Didn't you do a good job?"
"So-so!" There was a little bit of pride on his face, "Mainly because I did it myself at the beginning, but now most of the work is left to A Xu and the others."
Bai Mengjin nodded: "You're right, there are people who don't use their hands in vain."
After twenty years of separation, Ling Bufei didn't want her to leave his sight at all, so he took her to sit by the window to chat and enjoy the scenery.
Bai Mengjin followed his will and listened to him explain in detail what had happened in the past twenty years.
"...So, the world is really not peaceful."
Ling Bufei said slowly: "With the war in Minghe and the appearance of faceless men from time to time, disciples from all major sects are now afraid to travel alone. Even the elders may be attacked and assassinated."
"Do you have any other clues about the Faceless Man? In addition to Ji Yuansi, are there any other new members?"
Ling Bufei replied: "Among the members who have appeared so far, it is certain that there are more than five incarnations. No one knows their identities."
Bai Mengjin frowned: "More than five, this can be regarded as a mid-level sect."
"Who says it's not the case? There aren't many people in the lower sect who have five transformed gods."
The transformation gods of the major immortal sects are very concentrated, and most of them are in the upper three sects. The Qixing Sect in the lower sect is the strongest, followed by Qifenggu, Tianyan Sect, etc... most of them only have about three gods.
And these five avatars are just what the Faceless Man allows everyone to see. Who knows how many more there are behind them.
"But don't worry," Ling Bufei said carefully, "The Immortal Alliance has already made a special response. Each major faction has set up an early warning, which will be activated whenever trouble occurs, and everyone will watch and help each other. This method is very useful. When Xuanbing Palace encountered trouble before, We used this method to summon people from Danxia Palace, but there were no serious consequences."
Bai Mengjin nodded.
The two talked about faceless men for a while, and then brought the topic to relatives and friends. In the sect, everyone is doing well. It’s time to have a baby, and it’s time to practice. Everyone outside the sect also has their own future.
"...Huo Chongxiao's cultivation has grown rapidly, and Danxia Palace intends to train him to be Ning Yanzhi's right-hand man. His junior sister, Miss Yue, is also pretty good. I remember she just gave birth to a baby, and I wonder if she went to Minghe to participate in the battle—— By the way, she previously sent a messenger to thank you, saying that the treasure you gave her identified the monster and allowed her to escape."
Bai Mengjin was greatly comforted when he heard the news. Yue Yunqiao did not die young, Huo Chongxiao's character did not change, and her efforts were not in vain. Now that Yue Yunqiao has reached Yuanying and has the power to protect himself, the possibility of an accident is very small. With the foundation of Danxia Palace, she must have a way to save her life. If something happens, it will be her destiny.
"Where is Ning Yanzhi?" Bai Mengjin asked.
Speaking of this name, there is a feeling of being from another world. Bai Mengjin suddenly found that the hatred in his heart seemed to have faded. I remember that when she was first reborn, she was still thinking about revenge. When she woke up this time, her obsession was not so deep.
Maybe now you have someone you care about, a friend you can trust?
Ling Bufei was very wary and stared at her twice before replying: "He is quite good. He has made great achievements in the Minghe River and is very famous!"
These words sounded a bit sour, so Bai Mengjin smiled and asked, "Did he offend you?"
Ling Bufei refused to admit it and only said: "How could it be possible? He and I are good friends!"
The last word was accented, which made Bai Mengjin want to laugh even more.
"Okay, okay, friends are friends!" She stretched out her hand, "Come, show me your cultivation."
She suddenly made a move, causing Ling Bufei to have to deal with it. The two exchanged blows across the tea table for several times. Finally, Bai Mengjin flicked his sleeves and swept away the tea cup that was shaken to powder on the table.
"Yes, you have not spent these twenty years in vain."
The cultivation left behind by his mother has been transformed to some extent, and now he is almost on the line of becoming a god. If there are one or two more opportunities, we can truly step into the realm of God Transformation and no longer be a "fake God Transformation".
However, opportunities are hard to find, and Ling Yungao never really crossed that line until his death.
As he talked, Bai Mengjin felt sleepy.
"What's wrong, haven't you slept enough?" Ling Bufei was nervous now that she was sleepy, fearing that he wouldn't be able to handle it in another twenty years, even a few years.
Bai Mengjin was about to nod when she saw his expression and changed her words: "No, it's mainly because I'm not used to it." She pointed to herself, "My body has been sleeping for a long time and is not used to waking up yet."
Ling Bufei breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you go and rest! You just woke up, I shouldn't have kept you talking."
"Yes." Bai Mengjin got up and went back to her room. When she turned around and closed the door, she met his reluctant gaze, her heart softened, and she added, "Don't worry, I will wake up tomorrow."
Ling Bufei smiled and responded softly: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
