Chapter 1760: Side Story: Xue'er And Xun'er 3
The red-robed woman lifted her head and her crimson eyes stared intently at Qianbei Xun who had appeared out of thin air. However, a dazzled glint flashed across her eyes when she beheld his silken silver hair.
Qianbei Xun furrowed his brows before he spoke again arrogantly, "I had saved you so you should guide me out of this Spiritual Beast Forest. It's a fair deal for both parties. Are you not willing to do that?"
The young girl returned to her senses and her smile faded as she shook her head. "I'm sorry, I was just remembering an old friend. Since you've saved me, I will certainly escort you out of this place. Don't worry."
"An old friend?" Qianbei Xun looked at the young girl and blinked in confusion. "Do I look like an old friend of yours?"
The young girl shook her head. "Your faces don't look like each other but she shares a similar trait with you, he's got silver hair as well!"
As she said this, a tinge of hurt appeared in her eyes. That old friend from the past seemed very far away from her. Even if she reached out with her hand, she would never be able to touch them again.
Father, Mother, Big brother, and Second Brother, I wonder if you're all doing well?
Qianbei Xun lowered his head and stared at the sorrow and yearning in the young girl's eyes before he exclaimed in sudden realization, "If my guess is correct, that old friend of yours must be your lover, am I right?"
My lover?
The young girl chuckled and her lips curled into a smile.
That person is not my lover but my older brother, Ye Sihuang! However, she did not elaborate this further to Qianbei Xun.
"My name is Qianbei Xun, what's your name?" Qianbei Xun's voice was as arrogant as ever as it slowly echoed through the forest.
The young girl was stunned as a dazzled glint flashed in her eyes again. She soon recovered herself and replied, "I'm Xue'er."
Xue'er?
What a historical-sounding name! No one had called her by that name since she had arrived on this mainland.
"Xue'er?" Qianbei Xun's eyes flashed in astonishment. "This is the first time I've ever heard of such a strange name!"
The young girl raised her brow, "Xue'er is my nickname, what's so strange about it? My given name is Feng Qianhuan. If you don't like my nickname, you can address me as Feng Qianhuan instead."
She could not help but be reminded of Ye Sihuang when she looked at the young man and that was why she had blurted out the name 'Xue'er'! However, how could she have forgotten that this was not the Godly Mainland? Zi Qianjing and Ye Sihuang were not here!
The people here were completely unfamiliar to her.
Therefore, she had regretted blurting out her nickname! She no longer feels a sense of kinship with this name! She could only view herself from a bystander's point of view.
If she could, she would return to the Godly Mainland and run back into her father and mother's embrace! She imagined that her parents must have traveled around the world to search for her ever since her disappearance.
Yet, how could they have imagined that she would no longer be in that dimension? Instead, she has transitioned to another place! Not only was this place strange but their cultivation methods were different as well. She no longer had the power she once wielded and had to start over from the very beginning!
"You've allowed me to address you as Xue'er so, naturally, there's no reason for you to take that back." Qianbei Xun scoffed and spoke in a haughty and lovable manner, "I've been running in circles around this place for so many days and I don't intend to stay here any longer. It's best that you lead the way for me. I want to leave this place."
He has not set foot in the West Spirit Mainland for over ten years. Instead, his great grandfather and the others were the ones who have always journeyed to the East Peak Mainland to visit him. Therefore, he had forgotten how to get to the Dongfang family home and became lost in the Spiritual Beast Forest.
