Before the gathering of heroes began, Chen Shi continued to visit Xie Zhixian every week as usual to cultivate.

But this girl in black seemed much more cheerful than before.

That day, Xuexin asked her if something happy had happened.

She just shook her head, but then said that even after the gathering of heroes ends, you can still come here to cultivate with me until the start of the new semester.

Xuexin nodded to express her gratitude.

Unbeknownst to her, after the battle between the sons of the North and South ended, Long Yichuan personally called Xie Zhixian.

Xie Zhixian deceived Long Xiangnian and ultimately gave the Sun family the wrong information.

This was something that Long Yichuan found hard to accept.

Over the years, he has placed great emphasis on the training of the Long Family Army, training them very rigorously. They may have developed psychological problems, but the power they gained is still theirs. He has not deprived them of any cultivation resources, and the aptitude pearls were obtained by drawing blood from them.

He gave children like Xie Zhixian and Li Changxing the opportunity to defy fate.

Now you say you can't stand the atmosphere in the Long family and want to go out and see the world, and I've agreed without making any demands on you.

If you left, why did you have to come back and stab me in the back?

Even if Xie Zhixian didn't want to tell the truth, she could have simply rejected Long Xiangnian. She had a million ways to avoid this, but she just had to.

Although this blow may not affect Sun Yunling's final fate, it greatly affects Long Yichuan's mentality.

After making the call.

He didn't blame her, he only said three words.

Why?

Xie Zhixian couldn't answer this simple question. She knelt in her palace, trembling, and said, "I don't know, I really don't know. I just did it involuntarily. Please punish me, Master."

Through this answer, Long Yichuan learned the answer.

One word—good.

Li Paihao and Chen Shihao are so good that kind-hearted girls are willing to lend them a helping hand.

The bond I formed after living with the Long family for seven or eight years was gone in a few months while I was away having fun.

Long Yichuan fell silent.

He knew that Xie Zhixian was a bird destined to fly towards the place her heart longed for, and there was no other way but to cut off her wings.

Finally, he said, "After graduating from high school, do not enter the Martial Saint Academy. I will arrange a place for you. If you can complete the task I assign you and come back alive, all grudges will be wiped clean, and you will have no further connection with the Long family."

Xie Zhixian accepted the proposal.

So she was leaving, heading towards a world where she didn't know if there was any way back.

She accepted her fate, so she smiled more often because she had let go of the past. Since she was going to leave sooner or later anyway, she might as well be happier. But she still felt regretful sometimes because she hadn't had a chance to leave anything behind for the world, nor had she had a chance to truly get to know certain people.

She didn't tell anyone about it, deciding to tell Xiaoxing before she left to avoid causing him unnecessary trouble.

The peaceful days passed by one by one.

Every time Chen Shi opened his phone during a break, he could feel the lively atmosphere of a gathering of heroes.

It's being talked about in many communities.

During his junior high school years, he often saw stories about gatherings of outstanding individuals, a stage he had always longed to step onto.

People often say that the atmosphere at the event is much better than watching it on a mobile phone.

So Chen Shi really wanted to go and check it out in advance, but then he thought that missing a day of training would be equivalent to losing 16 yuan, so he held back and waited until the morning of the official start of the preliminaries, after he had finished his morning absorption and taken the medicine before going.

Time will always pass, and the day we've been waiting for will surely come.

The event, a gathering of elites, was held in Zhongzhou.

At this moment, Chen Shizheng was sitting on a plane bound for Zhongzhou.

There were only six or seven people on the plane. Xie Zhixian and Li Changxing sat to the side, their eyes filled with joy, because they had thought they would have to buy plane tickets in advance and fly there on their own.

Chen Shi took them on the Guard Bureau's private plane, saving them a lot of trouble. They didn't have to squeeze in with other people or listen to the children crying.

Li Changxing was incredulous at the faint smile on his sister's face; he never imagined she would be happy over such a simple thing.

"Do you know what the biggest difference is between now and the past?" Xie Zhixian turned to look at Li Changxing.

"Hmm?" Li Changxing raised an eyebrow.

Xie Zhixian smiled gently and said, "Freedom."

She didn't know what freedom really was, but at that moment she did feel a wonderful and joyful feeling.

Li Changxing noticed that his sister was smiling more and more lately, which always made him feel flattered. It was as if his sister was gradually becoming a different person, and that was the person she had hoped to be, as well as the person Li Changxing had hoped to be.

Because when my sister smiles, everything else pales in comparison, and it brings joy to everyone.

A word that Li Changxing thought could never be used to describe his sister is gradually emerging: beautiful.

She is not unattractive, but if a flower is too dark, people cannot see the beautiful veins on its petals clearly; only with a magnifying glass can they barely make them out.

Now, other colors are gradually appearing on her petals.

She smiled especially a lot today because Xuexin had said some things to her before.

"You're so pretty, why don't you dress yourself up a bit more?"

"You don't have to dress up in a flashy way; black can be beautiful too."

Zhang Xuexin's sincerity made Xie Zhixian feel a little ashamed, as if she had done something to wrong Xuexin.

So she decided to cut off all inappropriate thoughts!

Now, all she knows is that after today's competition, Xuexin will take her shopping to a large mall to buy all kinds of clothes.

This was something she had dreamed of since childhood. Later, her time was taken away by that cold cultivation palace, and the numb cultivation made her completely forget her childhood dream. Until Xuexin, a beautiful girl, came close to her, she felt that she was much better.

With this expectation in mind, she arrived at her destination.

After everyone disembarked from the plane, they boarded a special vehicle and headed to the competition venue.

Chen Shi looked up at Zhongzhou, his eyes filled with amazement.

The sky is filled with countless flying car tunnels, where automated cars speed along in an orderly fashion, creating a bustling and eye-opening spectacle.

Li Changxing, standing to the side, said, "This car is fully automatic from point to point, it doesn't need a driver, and it won't cause traffic jams."

"And so are we, sitting here now."

Chen Shi also noticed that there was no one in the driver's seat.

The car headed towards its destination following the route planned by the Transportation Bureau.

Xuexin and Xie Zhixian sat in the middle.

Looking at Xie Zhixian's curious face, she asked in surprise, "Didn't you grow up in Zhongzhou?"

Li Changxing, standing to the side, curled his lip and said, "We were trained as a secret weapon, so we've hardly ever left home. Although we live in Zhongzhou, we don't know anything about this place."

"Let's see who our opponents are today." At this moment, Zhang Xuexin took out her phone.

Xie Zhixian shook his head and said, "No need to look."

"Huh?" Zhang Xuexin was taken aback.

Xie Zhixian turned his head to her, raised his long, willow-leaf eyebrows, and smiled, "I have no rivals."
