I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 372 Jade Ruyi

Ci Gui: "Yes, we met once two thousand years ago." His gaze fell on Ling Xuzi. "Have you forgotten?"

Ling Xuzi's expression faltered for a moment before falling completely silent. "We know each other?"

The poem concludes: "Back then, everyone said you were missing, but I never imagined you were dead."

Ling Xuzi: "..."

Ling Xuzi: "I didn't expect you to know me, but it's said that you've lived for thousands of years, which is indeed possible."

Ci Gui didn't respond to him, but continued, "Ling Xuzi, real name Ling Yuan, is the only son of the Ling family in the Western Sea of ​​the Northern Spirit Continent. A genius alchemist, he reached Foundation Establishment at thirteen, Golden Core at thirty, and Nascent Soul before the age of one hundred. His success rate in producing top-grade pills is as high as seventy percent, making him a legendary figure. However..."

Ci Gui paused for a moment, then continued, "They mysteriously disappeared in an ordinary secret realm."

“You…you really know me.” Ling Xuzi was no longer surprised. It wasn’t that he was bragging; in that era, no one was unfamiliar with him. It was just that more than two thousand years had passed, yet people still remembered him.

“Not only do we know each other.” Ci Gui said calmly, a jade ruyi suddenly appearing in his hand, which he tossed directly to Xie Xiyan. “You asked me to keep it for you back then, and now it’s returned to its rightful owner.”

"This...this is..." Seeing Xie Xiyan catch the jade ruyi, Ling Xuzi moved closer to Xie Xiyan, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. After so many years, his aura still remained on it, which meant that the jade ruyi was indeed his.

A hint of confusion flashed in Ling Xuzi's eyes: "Then why... do I remember nothing at all?"

The answer is: "It's very simple, you've obviously lost a piece of your memory."

Ling Xuzi: "But I have no recollection of it."

Ci Gui: "That's pretty obvious. If you have an impression, how could you lose it?"

Ling Xuzi: "..." He whispered to Xie Xiyan, "No one outside has said that Immortal Venerable Gui has such a sharp tongue."

Xie Xiyan: "Maybe... this is how you two used to get along?"

"Is that so?" Ling Xuzi asked doubtfully.

Xie Xiyan: "Master, are you asking me about someone who has only been born for a little over twenty years? Then I think you might have the wrong person."

Ci Gui: "Okay, here's your stuff back, you can go now."

Ling Xuzi: "?"

"That's not right. Someone who would keep such a valuable item for me should have a very good relationship with me. Why are they just letting us go like this?"

Ci Gui raised an eyebrow: "You still want to stay for tea?" He glanced up and down at Ling Xuzi's soul form: "Ling Yuan, you don't look like you can drink tea in this state. You should worry about how to strengthen your soul or restore your physical body."

Ling Xuzi was taken aback. Why was this guy so sharp-tongued?

Seeing that Ling Xuzi was so angry that he didn't speak or pay attention to her, Ci Gui turned his gaze to Xie Xiyan, his eyes showing a bit more appreciation: "I didn't expect that someone as unconventional as you could have such an extraordinary disciple. It's quite surprising."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuzi immediately became proud: "That's right, my disciple, Ling Xuzi's disciple, is naturally a dragon among men, an unparalleled genius, standing out from the crowd..."

Xie Xiyan felt like crawling into a hole and disappearing into the ground; it was too embarrassing: "Master, please stop..."

Ling Xuzi didn't seem to care: "What's there to be ashamed of? My disciple is just that outstanding." He was full of pride.

But there's no need to go to such an extreme... Xie Xiyan couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Moreover, the person in front of him was the Immortal Venerable Ci Gui, whose two disciples were both outstanding. He also thought of Yun Qingyi, and his face turned even redder. He quickly covered Ling Xuzi's mouth and said, "Enough, enough. I know I am excellent. Stop talking."

After putting away the jade ruyi, Xi Yan pulled Ling Xuzi to leave, bowed to Ci Gui, and said, "Then, Immortal Venerable, my master and I will be leaving now. Thank you for keeping this jade ruyi safe for my master for so long. If you need anything in the future, Xi Yan will do his best to help."
