When Bai Xueyin opened her eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day.

The sky has cleared up, and the blue is as clear as water. The flowing clouds are like huge marshmallows, and like sheep grazing leisurely on the grassland, rolling in the summer wind, showing an intoxicating look.

Light and shadow change.

Not far away was a crescent-shaped curved wall, made of natural boulders as high as a person, surrounding the quagmire she was in.

The boulder is a dull gray-white color, and there are many dead trees, rotten trees and broken trees nearby, which are all as gray and pale as fossils from ancient times.

She was sitting in a puddle at shoulder height, surrounded by a strange smell of rotten eggs and insect corpses. The small insects that had bitten the wounds on Lan Qiao's back died in piles, densely packed with insect corpses.

Floating on the surface of the slowly flowing mud is disgusting.

Different from the mud in other places in Bailihuang, the mud here is not only slippery and greasy, but also seems to be a little warm, just like soaking in a natural bathtub with suitable water temperature.

What was warmer than the mud were the two streams of true energy coming from behind. That true energy and her own true energy were like a pair of tacit lovers, entangled with each other, flowing endlessly through her meridians.

She was moved for a moment, looked back at Lan Qiao, who was sitting cross-legged behind her, smiled sweetly, and said softly, "Thank you."

Lan Qiao was startled, not knowing what he had to thank him for. He scratched his head in shock and said, "It's too foreign. It's not the first time that we live and die together."

Bai Xueyin said no more and lowered her head shyly.

Lan Qiao also felt a little embarrassed when he thought about the scene of setting her bones and healing her last night. He deliberately changed the topic and said, "I have carefully explored this Crescent Lake. The reason why it is different from other places is because it is about twenty steps behind you under the mud."

, there is a hot spring.”

Bai Xueyin smiled and said, "No wonder I felt indescribably warm and comfortable when I soaked in it. It turned out to be a hot spring. It just smells a little bit."

Lan Qiao said excitedly, "The most amazing thing is not the hot springs, but the unique algae that grows here. The reason why you feel the mud is greasy is because of this algae. It grows in this unique environment,

Enjoy the warmth and vitality brought by hot springs, and absorb nutrients from the mud and insect corpses. Perhaps this algae is the key to accelerating the healing of our wounds."

Bai Xueyin twisted her body comfortably, turned her head and was about to speak to Lanqiao. At this moment, a water column four feet high splashed out from the depths of the mire behind Lanqiao. The water column was majestic and arrow-like.

It pierces the sky, is blown by the wind and turns into mist, reflecting the colorful light in the sun.

"It's so beautiful." Bai Xueyin squinted her eyes slightly, feeling the delicate touch of water mist on her face. Her expression was full of the romantic nature of an innocent girl.

Lan Qiao looked at her rosy cheeks, trembling eyelashes and moist lips, and resisted the urge to kiss her on the face and said, "Compared to this fairy-like beauty like junior sister, no matter how beautiful the fountain is, it will be overshadowed.

"

"Why is Senior Brother so glib?" Bai Xueyin rolled her eyes at him meaningfully and said, "Are you a little interested in Senior Sister Tang's proposal last night?"

Lan Qiao said in astonishment, "Senior sister, what are your suggestions?" When he saw Bai Xueyin bowing her head and saying nothing, he immediately realized that Bai Xueyin must have heard Tang Li's joke about "marrying them together".

Since it is a joke, it cannot be taken seriously. Lan Qiao smiled and said, "Even if I am willing to risk my life and lose my life, you don't dare to ignore the rules of the sect, right?"

Bai Xueyin's lips moved, holding back the words that almost blurted out, and nodded slowly.

When Lan Qiao saw her reaction like this, he was startled in his heart, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have made such a joke with her.

"It's impossible to get married." Seeing that the atmosphere had become awkward again, Bai Xueyin broke the silence and said, "You have plenty of time, you can always chat with me."

This can be said to be a very simple request, but it feels novel and unfamiliar to Lanqiao.

He and Bai Xueyin first met when they were being chased by An Xiaohan. At that time, he was grateful to Bai Xueyin for his generous help. However, because they were under huge pressure at all times, they did not have time to chat. It was not until the two of them went to the river valley later that they met.

After healing, they were finally able to talk some gossip, but they tried their best to avoid talking about their life experiences and other private topics, so that Lan Qiao never knew who Bai Xueyin was. Before joining the Tianlian Sect,

What's the story?

When they reunited in Jinan this year, Lan Qiao tried his best to avoid suspicion because he was engaged to Feng Yeling. His conversations with Bai Xueyin only involved communication about practice or life. Bai Xueyin is also very "conscious", whether at Tianlian Peak or

When I go to Yueyang, I usually don’t talk much.

During this trip to the Hundred Miles Wilderness, from the smooth sailing at the beginning to the dangers at the end, Lan Qiao lamented the impermanence of the world and at the same time realized that his relationship with Bai Xueyin was getting closer, so close that he could even keep his secrets.

Tell her without any concealment, he is entitled to know her past.

Lan Qiao does not reject this kind of closer relationship. He is even very grateful to God for allowing him to meet a confidante like Bai Xueyin who deserves all his trust.

He met Bai Xueyin's inquiring gaze, smiled casually and said, "Okay, I don't seem to know you very well. Are you willing to tell me about your life experience?"

Bai Xueyin was slightly startled and said calmly, "Since you want to know, I will tell you."

She showed a look of recollection and spoke eloquently, "I was born in the 14th year of Hongwu. I am a member of the Hangzhou Prefecture. My family was originally a military household. My father was away at war for a long time and I never saw him again for a year. Later, when I was seven years old,

My father died in the battle, and my mother fell seriously ill after hearing the news of his death. She passed away within two months, and I became an orphan. Later, my master took me in because he felt sorry for me, raised me with care, and taught me martial arts. During those ten years

I have never been to Tianlian Peak again."

Lan Qiao's heart moved and he asked, "When you were seven years old, it was the 21st year of Hongwu. The only major war that happened in that year was the Lanyu Northern Expedition, and your father died in that battle."

"That's right." She didn't know whether she always remembered these things or Ye Wen told her about them when she grew up. She explained, "It's a coincidence that the commander of the detachment my father worked for was Qianhu at that time.

Later, Lan Ruohai was granted the title of Yuan Bo."

Lan Qiao's eyes widened in disbelief, and he lost his voice and said, "It turns out that our parents have such a relationship, dare I ask for your name?"

Bai Xueyin said calmly, "Father Bai Shiqi."

"Isn't Bai Shiqi my father's lieutenant? My father also gave him the Yiying Bow." Lan Qiao said with an emotional expression, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Bai Xueyin said in a calm tone, "Uncle Dingyuan has led tens of thousands of soldiers. There is nothing special about my father, so why should I mention them in isolation?"

Lan Qiao was just too surprised at first, but when he calmed down, he could understand Bai Xueyin's intention of not being too deliberate. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "If I had known that there was such a good girl like you, I should have persuaded my father to take you home when I was a child."

Adopt and let you be my sister."

"Really?" Bai Xueyin had mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment. She seemed to have a lot of thoughts, and her eyes kept flickering towards Lan Qiao, wondering why she didn't become his "sister" by some strange combination of circumstances.
