"Xiao Qi, what brings you here?"

Right now!

A deep and majestic voice, like a resounding bell, suddenly rang out from above Jiyue City, echoing between heaven and earth, shaking people's souls.

Immediately afterwards, a figure clad in golden armor streaked across the night sky like a shooting star, disappearing in a dazzling flash and landing steadily in front of Luo Qingchuan in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing the visitor, Luo Qingchuan immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, bowed deeply, and said respectfully, "Brother! I'm just returning to the sect, and I'll bring Thirteen along on the way."

The person who arrived was none other than Luo Zitian, the renowned Crown Prince of the Holy Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zitian's gaze instantly focused on Luo Shisan like a sharp arrow.

Luo Shisan, however, seemed oblivious, remaining completely still and motionless, simply standing there with a calm and serene expression.

She stood tall and straight, like a plum blossom braving the snow and frost, aloof from the world, exuding a cool and stubborn aura.

This immediately made Luo Zitian frown slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little displeased.

However, having held a high position for so long, he controlled his emotions very well and did not show them.

He was fully aware of Luo Shisan's actions in the capital through his informants.

Not only did the other party cause a scene without any restraint on the opening day of his younger brother's Shuiyue Tingxianlou restaurant, disrupting the entire scene, but...

They even dared to launch a night raid on Huasi Palace, attempting to kill Luo Shisi.

Based on these two points alone, Luo Zitian felt disgusted with him and couldn't bring himself to like him.

Not to mention that she was born to a Black Nether Cult saintess, making her origins highly controversial.

Furthermore, with the Black Nether Cult now resurfacing as the Void God Cult, the situation is becoming increasingly complex and severe.

"How could there be a mere mortal here?"

Luo Zitian's gaze swept past Luo Shisan mercilessly, fixing on Shen Shuchou like a hawk's.

His gaze held scrutiny, and even more so, a haughty indifference.

Shen Shuchou instantly felt an immense pressure, like Mount Tai collapsing or the ocean overflowing, enveloping him with overwhelming force.

He felt his breath catch in his throat, as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat. His whole body trembled violently, and his face turned as pale as paper.

Luo Shisan's eyes flashed with coldness in an instant, like a cold glint suddenly appearing in the cold night. Without the slightest hesitation or doubt, his cultivation at the Nascent Soul Realm was unleashed like a surging torrent without reservation.

She took a firm step forward, her posture as upright as a pine tree, and without hesitation stood in front of Shen Shuchou, facing the powerful and majestic Luo Zitian.

A deep, undisguised sarcasm flashed in Luo Zitian's eyes, his expression filled with contempt and disdain.

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a shrewdness that seemed to see through everything. How could he not know that this mortal was Luo Shisan's so-called younger brother?

He merely wanted to use Shen Shuchou as a medium to suppress Luo Shisan, so that she would know her own worth.

His cultivation level was at the Void Realm, which was three major realms higher than Luo Shisan's.

Even the slightest flow of energy is something Luo Shisan could not possibly withstand.

In just a moment, a trickle of bright red blood slowly oozed from the corner of Luo Shisan's mouth.

Even so, she remained steadfast, standing firmly in front of Shen Shuchou, without showing the slightest intention to back down.

Upon seeing this scene, Luo Qingchuan's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, as if shrouded in a thick layer of gloom.

At this moment, even if he wanted to help Luo Shisan, he was helpless and it was all in vain.

His cultivation level was only at the Integration Realm, which was no match for Luo Zitian, who was at the peak of the Void Realm.

Moreover, compared to Luo An, Luo Zitian is far more ruthless and cruel.

Fortunately, Luo Zitian did not attack Luo Shisan, and then withdrew his suffocating aura.

"The city is busy, Little Seven, so I won't give you any special treatment. Please feel free to wander around on your own."

After saying this, Luo Zitian moved like the wind, without pausing for a moment, and his figure disappeared again, as elusive as a phantom.

Are you alright?

As soon as Luo Zitian left, Luo Qingchuan couldn't wait to ask Luo Shisan.

Luo Shisan first shook his head slightly, then quickly turned to look at Shen Shuchou with a worried expression, and asked anxiously, "Did my brother frighten you?"

Then Luo Shisan suddenly remembered that she had used her true energy to seal Shen Shuchou's mouth, and immediately hurriedly untied it.

Only then was Shen Shuchou able to speak. He said softly, "I'm fine."

"Then I'll take you inside to settle in first."

After speaking, Luo Qingchuan smiled gently and then strode steadily into Jiyue City with Luo Shisan.

Compared to the Holy City, the Extreme Moon City appears to be much grander.

The place was heavily guarded, with soldiers standing tall and sharp-eyed, exuding an awe-inspiring majesty.

Everywhere in the city, one could see people with profound cultivation, some hurrying along, others leisurely enjoying themselves.

Not only were there the orderly and imposing figures of the Divine Martial Army, but also some people from other sects.

These people were dressed in unique sect attire or wore badges that signified their status; each of them possessed an extraordinary bearing and exuded a powerful aura.

"Why aren't you staying in the sect? What brings you here all of a sudden?"

As they entered the city, Luo Qingchuan frowned slightly and secretly transmitted his voice to Gu Nan.

His words carried a hint of reproach that was not easily detected, yet within that reproach, there was also an undisguised doting affection.

"It was my master who brought me here."

Gu Nan playfully stuck out her tongue and replied using the same method of telepathy.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchuan was instantly surprised.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Even my master has come here?"

"My master said she wanted to see Luo Shisan, so she came here."

Gu Nan continued speaking using telepathy.

As soon as the sound fell, a woman dressed in plain gray and white clothes suddenly appeared in front of them.

Luo Qingchuan was about to step forward, but a sharp look from the woman stopped him in his tracks.

Then, the woman in the grey and white dress walked gracefully and slowly to Luo Shisan.

A subtle tenderness lingered in her clear eyes as she carefully examined Luo Shisan from head to toe.

Luo Shisan frowned slightly and subconsciously shielded Shen Shuchou behind him.

She didn't recognize the woman in front of her. Although the woman seemed to be an ordinary person and showed no signs of cultivation, she gave Luo Shisan an indescribable sense of oppression, which made her wary.

"Just like her!"

The woman in plain clothes spoke softly, her voice as gentle as a breeze, her gaze fixed on Luo Shisan's face.

From those exquisite features, one could almost see the shadow of another person—the person closest to her heart and the one she could never forget.

Who are you?

Upon hearing this, Luo Shisan stared intently at the woman in plain clothes before him, his eyes filled with doubt and wariness, and asked in a firm tone.

"Keep this safe. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, just talk to it and I will come to you."

The woman in plain clothes did not respond to Luo Shisan's question, but carefully took out a doll from her bosom, which was carved from some kind of rare wood.

The figure has smooth and natural lines, and every detail is exquisitely crafted, as if the sculptor had poured all his heart and soul into it.

Luo Shisan took the doll with a suspicious look in his eyes, carefully examining its lifelike face.

For some reason, the moment her fingertips touched the doll, her heartstrings trembled violently, as if a mysterious and powerful force had struck straight into the depths of her heart, stirring up ripples.

A strange sense of intimacy welled up in my heart, and my eyes were fixed on the doll's face.

Luo Shisan suddenly realized that this face was extremely similar to the face of the woman in white in front of him, but they were not the same person.

The similarities left her both confused and curious.

When Luo Shisan looked up again, filled with questions, he was shocked to find that the woman in white had vanished without a trace.

It left not a trace, just as if the encounter was merely a dream.

The questions in Luo Shisan's heart overwhelmed her like a surging tide.

Her thoughts were in turmoil, the mysterious face of the woman in white and her meaningful words flashing through her mind, along with the strangely familiar doll in her hand.
