The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 499 Fate's Destiny: Reunion (Part Two)

"Oh no! She invited me here, is she trying to get revenge on me and get back at me for what I lost before?"

Feng Ling still remembered that he and Jia Jiu had some conflicts back in Luoyang. Although Feng Ling thought they were just minor squabbles, he didn't take them to heart.

But a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!

Feng Ling couldn't be sure what Jia Jiu was thinking, and he couldn't stop Jia Jiu from suddenly sending the Golden-Winged Roc to intercept him here.

This made Feng Ling have no choice but to have such doubts.

The more Feng Ling thought about it in this direction, the more likely it seemed, given Jia Jiu's willful and reckless nature.

The thought of being ganged up on and brutally beaten by Jia Jiu and the three-headed demigod Golden-Winged Roc sent chills down Feng Ling's spine.

"Jia Jiu? In this life, you can call me that for now!"

Jia Jiu stood up and stared blankly at the vast, misty horizon for a moment before smiling at Feng Ling and saying, "Perhaps you can use your divine sense to carefully sense who I really am!"

"In that case, I'll have to offend you!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling no longer had any reservations and immediately released his divine sense, which was at the peak of the demigod realm.

Suddenly, an awe-inspiring power enveloped the Lingxiu Pavilion, causing Jin Ling, who was waiting not far away, and the two golden-winged rocs that were entertaining Elder Tong and his companions nearby to be moved.

However, this incredibly powerful divine sense was intended to probe the beautiful woman and had no malicious intent. Furthermore, they trusted their master's strength and wouldn't panic because of it.

"No, the aura emanating from you is very familiar. It's not just Jia Jiu's, it seems there's also..."

With his divine sense fully activated, Feng Ling instantly detected the abrupt change. He quickly withdrew his divine sense, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and bowed respectfully to Jia Jiu with a complex expression, saying, "Perhaps I should address you as Senior Qinglan!"

Jia Jiu is the reincarnation of Qinglan!

"Hehe, Feng Ling, you're quite good! I said in my past life that we would meet again. It's just that I don't know why the predicted date of the awakening of memories was brought forward by several months, and I've been waiting for you for several more months since I came to Wanfengtai!"

Jia Jiu, or rather, the reincarnation of Qinglan, glanced back at Feng Ling with great appreciation: "Please sit wherever you like!"

"Yes. Before that, Feng Ling would like to express his gratitude to the senior for passing on his knowledge and skills!" Feng Ling bowed solemnly in thanks.

Not to mention that Qinglan herself is a peerless and awe-inspiring genius, the fact that Qinglan's mantle has been passed on to Fengling has greatly benefited Fengling, and she deserves this respect.

Therefore, Jia Jiu, as the reincarnation of Qinglan, did not avoid Feng Ling's bow. He simply waved his hand, brewed a pot of fragrant tea, and smiled, gesturing for Feng Ling to sit down, saying, "It was my past life that should thank you for ending the Nine Infants Calamity! It is only right that you received the inheritance and took charge of the Fierce Ghost Holy City!"

Perhaps influenced by the awakening of memories, Jia Jiu has gained an extraordinary and heroic temperament, and his every move bears the shadow of Qinglan.

"Hmm? The aroma is wonderful and refreshing, a fine tea!"

Feng Ling sat down, took the teacup, and took a sip. He smiled with surprise, "Senior doesn't seem surprised that I would be passing through Wanfengtai today?"

It should be noted that if their group hadn't encountered a slight mishap just before the space teleportation channel arrived at the Yuqing Mountains, causing the teleportation to end prematurely, they would never have been able to teleport to the vicinity of Wanfengtai.

"No need to worry, fate has its own plan! When you reach the level of mastery that rivals creation, you will also have the opportunity to glimpse a trace of your future trajectory! Think carefully, is there anything else important you want to tell me?"

Jia Jiu smiled knowingly and didn't explain further.

"Envoy Murong once said that you and the Holy City of Fierce Ghosts are connected by karma. I wonder what connection you have with Envoy Murong, or with His Majesty the Eastern Saint?"

Feng Ling raised an eyebrow and changed the subject. "You'll find out when the opportunity arises!"

Jia Jiu took a sip of tea, still avoiding answering, and seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation.

Feng Ling was quite annoyed and had no choice but to get up and say, "Feng Ling has other important matters to attend to. Since you have invited me but have nothing to discuss, I will take my leave!"

"Sit back down!"

Jia Jiu gave a light shout, her expression and tone leaving no room for argument, which made Feng Ling feel a strange pressure.

Feng Ling sat down with a wry smile, and the ultimate ghost spirit body within his body, which had long since merged with Qing Lan's, finally stopped throbbing.

"Think about it carefully again. Are you sure you haven't overlooked anything important?" Jia Jiu looked at Feng Ling, who was sitting at the stone table in the pavilion looking at a loss, and repeated what he had said earlier.

"Uh..." Feng Ling frowned, thinking helplessly: Didn't you invite me to meet you? How come it seems like I have something to ask you? Why can't I leave? What's the reason for this?
Could it be... that she has something she can't say, and can only give some hints indirectly, leaving me to figure it out myself?

Therefore, Feng Ling carefully examined Jia Jiu's "hint"; seeing this, Jia Jiu brewed another cup of tea and did not rush to urge him.

Inside the pavilion, the aroma of tea filled the air; the two sat facing each other, sipping their tea in silence for a moment.

"Oh, by the way, since you have been reincarnated, senior, why not return this zither to you to prevent this precious artifact from gathering dust!"

With a thought, Feng Ling summoned an ancient zither with a simple and ancient aura; it was none other than the quasi-divine artifact: the Qinlan Zither.

Nine-Star Sacred Artifacts are exclusive weapons that only demigod-level experts can create; they are also known as quasi-divine artifacts or pseudo-divine artifacts.

Back then, Feng Ling and the others misjudged the Qin Lanqin, thinking it was an eight-star sacred artifact. It wasn't until Feng Ling went into seclusion to fuse with the remnant soul of Zhu Jiuyin that he was able to discern the Qin Lanqin's true rank.

"Very well! I was just worried about not finding a suitable magical artifact after my reincarnation. Since you have this intention, then I will take it back!"

Feng Ling's tone was tentative, but Jia Jiu smiled broadly and unceremoniously took the Qin Lanqin for herself, practically uttering the words "It's so good!"

Feng Ling was utterly astonished, inwardly exclaiming:
Good heavens! So, all that hinting here was really just for this Qinlan Qin?
However, despite his inner grumbling, Feng Ling truly had the determination and courage to return Qin Lanqin; otherwise, he could have just talked about it without actually taking it out.

Although losing a quasi-divine artifact would still pain Feng Ling, the facts had already proven to him:

Although Qin Lanqin's power is strong, it is not suitable for him. Following him will only cause the divine artifact to be covered in dust and its divine power to be buried.

This can be gleaned from the fact that Feng Ling has never used the Qinlanqin again since the Battle of the Nine Infants.

More importantly, in addition to the Qinlanqin, Feng Ling also possesses the quasi-divine weapon Zhenleixiao, as well as Yanleiji, which was tempered with the power of Zhujiuyin's remnant soul and entered the ranks of quasi-divine weapons.

Thanks to Feng Ling's cultivation level, which once surged to the peak of the demigod realm, he had undergone countless tribulations and tempered his body.

As a result, the quality of Yan Leiji underwent a leap forward, reaching a level that was almost comparable to a quasi-divine artifact.

Therefore, the tempering of Zhujiuyin's power only played a final role; the main factor was still Yan Leiji himself.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
