The improved female villains regained their memories.

"That sect is called the Linlang Sect." She brought back important information, "It is the cultivation sect that our country—the Chu Kingdom—relies on."

She told Yang Pingsheng about the world background as she knew it, the seven countries fighting each other, the cultivation paths that had not yet appeared, the various cultivation methods, and so on...

"Joining the Linlang Sect requires consuming a type of Gu worm. I'm not sure if my brother's Great Dao True Mark can destroy that Gu worm, so I didn't join," Wen Shihan said. "But I learned about the cultivation methods within that sect. They don't master spiritual energy or killing moves, but rather a technique called the Wonderful Application Method."

Qi Feng had told him about these things before, but Qi Feng had only heard Yang Pingsheng tell them, and there were bound to be omissions in the second retelling. Now, Wen Shihan had learned more, which allowed Yang Pingsheng to have a complete understanding of the current world background.

It must be said that Wen Shihan's Yin spiritual energy is indeed excellent at investigation and collection. Among the intelligence she brought back, there were also information about the various schools of thought, such as Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, and Mohism.

“There are many cultivation forces in this world, and so far I have found out two of the most special ones,” Wen Shihan said. “One is the Ghost Valley Sect, and the other is the Jixia Academy.”

The Jixia Academy gathers all kinds of magical techniques and produces great sages; while the Guigu School is extremely mysterious, and every disciple who comes from there becomes a figure who influences the world.

“We are in the past of the main world now, right?” Yang Pingsheng asked, “What about the Guardian Heaven Sect?”

Wen Shihan replied, "I heard from the people of the Linlang Sect that the Hutian Sect is no longer involved in human affairs."

It stands high above, watching the people below fight each other.

Yang Pingsheng looked at Qi Feng: "What methods did you use to get to know me?"

Qi Feng thought for a moment: "There are many. You seem to know everything, killing moves, talismans, magic weapons, forbidden techniques... Oh right, there are also wonderful uses, but you don't use them often, meow."

It said, "But you told me that your greatest skill is still in secluded places, and that you learned it from the Ghost Valley School, meow."

Yang Pingsheng and Wen Shihan suddenly looked at the boy who was learning to read by the light of the spiritual fire beside the table.

Because they were communicating telepathically, the boy was unaware of it.

"I've got it! Let's just throw him into the Ghost Valley Sect, meow!" Qi Feng said, "How about letting him start learning early, meow?"

Yang Pingsheng asked, "Did I mention in the past when I joined the Guigu School?"

"Ah...it seems there's no meow."

Qi Feng only knew that Yang Pingsheng was acquainted with Ye Buxin through the Ghost Valley Sect, but he didn't know when Yang Pingsheng joined.

But Qi Feng sharpened his claws and said, "Even so, it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later, right? You met Ye Buxin in the Ghost Valley Sect in the past, so why don't we just make sure you and Ye Buxin avoid meeting each other?"

This also makes use of the magic artifact Luo Yi, since they changed the time when Xiao Yang joined the Ghost Valley Sect. The time overlap should be successful.

“No.” However, Wen Shihan disagreed. “Guigu Sect is too mysterious. If you fail the selection or are unable to leave the mountain, you will die inside. We don’t know how our elder brother passed the Guigu Sect’s test in the past, or how he left the mountain. It’s possible that our current younger brother’s aptitude is not enough, and Guigu Sect might kill him. In that case, our elder brother will die.”

The description of his younger brother sounded strange, prompting Yang Ping to glance at Wen Shihan.

Wen Shihan's eyes darted away: "Brother, please don't mind, I was just trying to distinguish between them."

It feels even stranger now.

"This won't work, that won't work, this is really difficult, meow." Qi Feng sighed, "If Luo Yi hadn't broken, and Yang Luo Yi were still here, she would definitely have a solution, meow."

Even Yang Pingsheng couldn't help but feel sad when talking about his daughter.

As a daughter, she had given everything, yet she didn't even have the chance to have a meal with Yang Pingsheng.

"Let's follow the original plan and try to collect as many immortal techniques as possible from this world and teach them to him," Yang Pingsheng said, forcing himself to stay alert. "Then let's think about what my intention was in making this arrangement in the past, or wait and see if there are any other breakthroughs."

That's all we can do for now.

-------------

It was late at night, time to sleep. Yang Pingsheng stabilized the Dao traces within his body and lay down on the bed, with Qi Feng lying beside him.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Yang Pingsheng got up and opened it, and the boy was standing there.

"Sir, may I sleep with you?"

"........"

Yang Pingsheng squinted and transmitted his voice into the shadows: 【Minor Cold!】

From the darkness behind him, Wen Shihan emerged, placed his hand on the boy's shoulder, and looked at Yang Pingsheng with a smile.

“Brother, this child is afraid of the dark and wants to sleep with you.” Wen Shihan said without blinking, “I’m also afraid of the dark and want to sleep with you too.”

The boy looked up at Wen Shihan, then at Yang Pingsheng, and nodded seriously: "Yes, I'm afraid of the dark."

Yang Pingsheng remained silent.

Wen Shihan transmitted his voice: [What does it matter, brother? This child has been all alone since he was little, how pitiful. We should give him more love.]

The way Wen Shihan said those words sounded really strange.

Yang Pingsheng increasingly felt that Wen Shihan's personality was changing in a direction he couldn't predict after returning from this time travel.

He sighed. "Fine."

With his Dao True Mark stable, he doesn't need to continue cultivating today.

In the pitch-black room, he lay on the left, Wen Shihan on the right, and the former Yang Pingsheng in the middle.

[Elder Brother]

In the pitch-black room, he heard Wen Shihan's voice transmission again.

I really like this. Let's do this again when we get back, okay?

Yang Pingsheng was about to ask, "If my past self is gone after I go back, how can I still be like this?"

However, before he could even ask, he understood what Wen Shihan meant and fell silent.

Peeking out from his nest, Qi Feng shook his head helplessly at the scene on the bed.

"Mo Chang, there's nothing I can do either, meow..."

-------------

A land governed by rules.

Jiang Mochang, who was studying how to break Bai Ze's restriction, sneezed.

Chapter 681 Though forgotten, my heart remains with you.

They arrived in the summer, and it wasn't until the surrounding leaves turned golden that Yang Pingsheng realized three months had passed.

I had become familiar with them and gradually started talking more.

"Sister, this is for you."

Yang Pingsheng looked at his past self and ran up to Wen Shihan, handing him a large bunch of small white flowers.

Wen Shihan smiled and took it, then took his hand and taught him the incantation for circulating spiritual energy.

"How did you learn from your teacher today?"

"You're doing very well. I've already memorized all the poems, but the teacher hasn't finished memorizing them yet."

"Then you're amazing, even more amazing than Mr.!"

Wen Shihan praised the boy generously.

She used to be very gloomy, always wearing black martial arts attire and scrutinizing others with a pair of vicious eyes, but in the past three months, she has been smiling all the time, her tone as gentle as if she had been possessed.

She always spoke in that coaxing tone, almost making Yang Pingsheng forget the little girl who stubbornly held back her tears in front of her.

"Yes, be careful, and sense the changes in the flow of spiritual energy within your body."

Yang Pingsheng shook his head helplessly as he watched the two of them cultivating.

He felt that Wen Shihan was spoiling the child too much. Last night, the child sneaked out and fell off a cliff. He used the Great Dao True Mark to pull the child up. He wanted to punish the child a few times, but Wen Shihan stopped him.

"Brother, don't be so fierce. Talk to him nicely. It's rare that this child is willing to communicate with us. What if you make him withdrawn and then he tries to kill himself?" Wen Shihan pleaded for him.

Yang Pingsheng had no way to refute it and could only give up.

He was wondering what the child was doing running out so late at night, but now he knows—he went to pick flowers for Wen Shihan.

"...It's a really strange feeling."

Yang Pingsheng wasn't jealous; he just felt that his past self's closeness to Wen Shihan seemed strange no matter how he looked at it.

Of course, it's also clear that Wen Shihan is more popular with boys than herself, since she didn't spend any money.

"Sir, this is for you."

As Yang Pingsheng was lost in thought, he saw the boy holding a bunch of small white flowers and bringing them close to him.

He looked to the side, and not far away, Wen Shihan was smiling at him.

"Brother, please accept it quickly," she whispered to him.

"........"

Yang Pingsheng said thank you and accepted it.

The boy didn't leave; he mustered his courage and asked, "Sir, do you like this flower?"

"Yes, I like it."

Having lived through nine lifetimes, he can utter such words effortlessly.

The boy smiled and ran back to Wen Shihan.

Yang Pingsheng looked at him, somewhat dazed.

This scene seems somewhat familiar.

This time, however, there was no system or Heavenly Dao; he was accompanied by Qi Feng and Xiao Han.

The person he was facing was no longer those female villains, but his past self.

The flowers swayed in the breeze, and he looked at them.

What kind of flower is this again?

---------------

While Wen Shihan was training the boy to sense spiritual energy, Yang Pingsheng went to find Qi Feng.

A black cat lay on a rock basking in the sun, one paw dangling limply below.

Yang Pingsheng had mixed feelings about Qi Feng.

Using the system's body, yet claiming to know his past self, Yang Pingsheng only has memories of his nine lifetimes with the system and doesn't remember what Qi Feng said.

However, they had experienced being hunted in the main world and faced life and death in the Taixu, so no matter how you look at it, they were people who could entrust their lives to each other.
