2213 At that time…

At that time, she accompanied the people from Heavenly Sect to Cloud Sea City to participate in the competition. As soon as she arrived here, she heard that the
bodhi mushroom from the Alchemist Guild had been stolen, so the entire city was placed on high alert. She met Mo San who was evading pursuit in her room, and
knew that the bodhi mushroom was stolen by him. However, she still stayed in the Alchemist Guild and did not take it out.
In order to prevent him from doing stupid things, she went to the Alchemist Guild to help him get bodhi mushroom. It was in this important courtyard that she met
Xuan Qiu He for the first time.
That year–
There was an array laid outside the medicine garden, and there were subtle fluctuations in the space. She called out Little Roar and merged with him and simply
walked in directly.
Because there was an array, there was no one on guard here, so Sima You Yue went in easily.
“After entering the third small flower bed in the medicine garden, there is a spirit fruit tree next to it. Ten steps eastward under the tree.” She murmured as she
walked, and finally came to a soft piece of land.
Not long after the land was renovated, the soil was still fresh. She dug down twice according to what Mo San said, and she saw a jade box. She took the box into the
Spirit Pagoda and gave it to Mo San.
When she got up, she saw that a medicinal herb next to her was covered with soil. She moved it over, patted off the soil on it, and combed the leaves of the
medicinal herb.
“That’s the place where bodhi mushroom was once planted.” A warm voice sounded from behind.
Sima You Yue was startled, she turned around suddenly, and saw a man sitting in a wheelchair, smiling at her.
Said it was looking, but his eyes were not focal, he should be a person with eye problems.
She didn’t feel embarrassed or at a loss for being caught, she calmly looked at the person in front of her.
His hands rested on the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair at will, with a beautiful face and exhaustion between his brows.
He looked at Sima You Yue lightly, as if he saw her small movements, but he didn’t seem to.
“Who are you? When did you come?” Sima You Yue took two steps forward and looked at him vigilantly.
“I’ve always been here, but you didn’t notice it.” The man said, “You can call me Xuan Qiu.”
“Xuan Qiu?” Sima You Yue thought for a while, but she had never heard anyone mention this name, so she didn’t know who he was.
“Yes.” Xuan Qiu smiled and nodded.
“You’ve been here all the time?” Sima You Yue asked tentatively.
“Yes.” Xuan Qiu admitted, he didn’t say whether he saw her or not.
“What are you doing here?”
“Smell the medicinal herbs.”
Smell the medicinal herbs?
Sima You Yue frowned. Could it be that she smelled the scent of bodhi mushroom, so she came here?
“You don’t have to worry, I won’t say anything about you.” Xuan Qiu pointed out what she was worried about.
He really saw it!
No, how do you know what you are thinking?
She looked at him, wondering how to deal with this matter.
“Your business has nothing to do with me.” Xuan Qiu explained.
“Why did you keep it a secret for me?” Sima You Yue was puzzled.
“Because | have nothing to do with the Alchemist Guild.” Xuan Qiu said, “I’m blind and lame, and there is nothing I care about.”
“Then what are you doing here? Are you really smelling the medicinal herbs?” She didn’t believe it.
“For a person who doesn’t know what colour is, smell is an important way for us to perceive the world.” Xuan Qiu crossed his fingers, “I can’t see what things in the
world look like, but I can smell them.”
“Have your eyes never been able to see?” Seeing his peaceful appearance, Sima You Yue walked over.
“According to others, I could see before one or two years old. So, it’s not like I’ve been blind all the time, but I don’t have the memory of that time.” Xuan Qiu teased.
A child at such a young age won’t remember at all. Even if they saw what the world was like at that time, how could they remember?
So he never knew what colour the sky was or what the flowers looked like.
“Didn’t see a doctor?”
“I saw it, but no doctor could find out the cause. I’ve been used to it because I haven’t seen it all the time.”
“But you want to see the world, don’t you?” Sima You Yue said, “You want to know what the world looks like, what colour the sky is, and what the colour is, rather
than simply relying on divine sense to identify the things around you.”
The smile on the corner of Xuan Qiu’s mouth gradually deepened, and he said, “You know the thoughts of a person like me very well. Have you experienced it too?”
Later, she knew that his name was not Xuan Qiu, Xuan Qiu was just his surname, his name was Xuan Qiu He, a man like a crane.
Now-
He was still in that place, still sitting in a wheelchair, with a smile on his face, but it was no longer the clean smile of the past.
“We meet again.” Xuan Qiu He said.
Unlike the hoarse voice he heard before, this time he used his original voice. Since his identity had been seen through, so it was no longer necessary to disguise his
voice.
“No.” Sima You Yue recovered from her memory, stared into his eyes, and said coldly, “It’s the first time you and I meet, so don’t get too close.”
“Meeting for the first time?” Xuan Qiu He laughed twice in a low voice, “Do you think I’m not Xuan Qiu He?”
“Are you?” Sima You Yue asked back, “Why do you think that you are the same as him? Just because you possessed his body, are you him?”
Xuan Qiu He spread out his hands: “His soul, his body, why not?”
“What you can do, he can’t do, not even one!” Sima You Yue said, “You killed so many people, ate so many hearts, enjoy the thrill of chasing people, and like to see
the despair and fear in others. You are not him at all!”
“He he he—” Xuan Qiu He laughed, his voice still sounded nice. “Do you think that if he hadn’t thought about it, | would have become him so easily?”
“What do you mean?”
“Do you know when and under what circumstances did he give himself to me?” Xuan Qiu He asked her.
“I don’t know. But what I do know is that this must have happened under your coercion and inducement.” Sima You Yue said with certainty.
“Originally, it would take me a while to come out, but when you died, the blood in his body was surging, the breath was unstable, and the seal was turbulent. I took
the opportunity to break the seal and come out.” Xuan Qiu He saw her worry, but explained thoughtfully: “At that time, I didn’t do anything to him. I searched for
the host for so many years. Naturally, | couldn’t let him die, right? Not only did I not let him die, but I also helped him calm down the power in his body. But your
death hit him hard. The impact was too big for him and I broke the seal and his previous injury, and put his body into a coma.”
Sima You Yue didn’t expect that when he saw her die in the Sage Pavilion, it would hit him so hard, to this point.
“He likes you, don’t you know? Watching the woman you love die in front of you, that kind of pain, tsk tsk…”.
