"He, Master, does Master mean that Master is not from Qiyuan Island?"

Kaifeng's mother is naturally from Qiyuan Island, so the one in Xue Qi's mouth can only be Kaifeng's maternal grandfather and Xue Qi's husband.

"He's from outside the island, just like you. Xue Qi nodded.

Although Sha Li was a little surprised, he was not surprised. Zhi Yu once mentioned to him that every once in a while, a foreigner would inexplicably appear on Qiyuan Island. It's just that the time of appearance is not fixed, maybe years, or hundreds of years.

However, the way they came to Qiyuan Island was the same, they were all forcibly sent by the "Heavenly Pillar".

The way the "Heavenly Pillar" gave away people was not gentle, and no one knew what kind of brutality those outsiders suffered in the process. When they appeared on Qiyuan Island, there were only half lives left, not to mention, there would be little memory left, and even complete amnesia was also very good.

So, when they wake up, they ask similar questions: "Who am I, where do I come from, and where is this?"

However, not everyone who has been exiled to Qiyuan Island can stay. If they wake up and are not taken in by the aborigines, the only fate that awaits them is to be forcibly sent away.

Shali was the luckier of them. On the first day he came to Qiyuan Island, he was picked up by Kaifeng and taken in. After reporting to the Island Palace, he has lived on Qiyuan Island smoothly until now.

In the past, those who stayed on Qiyuan Island couldn't remember where they came from, so they all chose to live on the island and reproduce from now on.

"But Master, I remember that Zhi Yu said that none of the people who stayed on Qiyuan Island left again. Could it be that he remembered it wrong?" Sha Li recalled Zhi Yu's words, a little puzzled.

"He is not wrong, because very few people know about my husband's departure from the island. Xue Qi was silent for a moment, as if reminiscing. Soon after, he continued: "Now, it was forty years ago. When he was exiled to Qiyuan Island, it was I who took him in. Later, we naturally fell in love with each other. ”

Sha Li muttered in his heart: "This plot ......"

"Unlike other people who were sent by the 'Heavenly Pillar', he was originally a highly cultivated Yuan person. Although when he first came to the island, his realm had fallen below the Kaiyuan realm, and he was not even a Yuan. But after only a few years of cultivation and diligent cultivation, it has returned to its former peak. ”

"Then what was his original cultivation realm?" This seems to be the question that every Yuan person wants to ask the most after hearing this kind of thing, obviously, Sha Li is no exception.

"On top of the Returning Yuan Realm. Xue Qi's eyes lit up slightly.

"Master, what did you say, Returning to the Yuan Realm?"

Sha Li's surprise is not trivial. You must know that the highest Yuan cultivator on Qiyuan Island is only in the Returning Yuan Realm, and in terms of age, the youngest is already fifty years away.

However, forty years ago, Xue Qi's husband was already a powerhouse beyond the Guiyuan Realm. It's a talent that's a little scary to think about.

As if seeing what he was thinking from Sha Li's surprise, Xue Qi laughed lightly: "Heh, you don't have to be too surprised. He looked younger, but he was much older than me. ”

Sha Li felt a little relieved in his heart. But he couldn't help but guess in his heart: "Master, she shouldn't have a soft spot for uncle, right?"

In order not to attract attention, he has also been suppressing his cultivation in the Kaiyuan Realm. However, as his cultivation recovered, his memory also awakened partially. And this part happens to include where he came from, Hongyu Continent. Speaking of this, Xue Qi's face changed slightly, "Although he is very reluctant to let me and the child go, he still has an extremely important matter to do in the Hongyu Continent." I know that if he can't fulfill the mission he has shouldered, he will be left with a knot in his heart for the rest of his life. So I encouraged him to go out. He agreed with me that he would come back in as little as three years, or as much as five years, who knows......"

Xue Qi didn't continue, but Sha Li already knew it. After all, the results are obvious.

"When Kaifeng's mother grew up, she always wanted to find her father. But after all, she is a native of Qiyuan Island, and the iron laws of Qiyuan Island can restrain her.

At first, the Island Hall did not allow her to leave the island. Fortunately, since she was a child, Wu He, the patriarch of the Wu family, has been quite fond of her and connived at her in many ways.

Thinking of her filial piety in her persistent search for her father, she decided to convene the four major families to discuss it and see if she could make an exception for her. ”

Sha Li secretly said in his heart: "The formation is quite large, it seems that the prestige of the Wu family in Qiyuan Island is really not false." However, Wu He is also really good to Kaifeng's mother. ”

"What Wu He means is that Kaifeng's mother can only be regarded as half of the people of Qiyuan Island, and letting her leave the island is not a violation of the iron law.

And Da Sikong and Da Situ don't think so, they don't agree to let Kai Feng's mother leave the island. What is surprising is that the patriarch of the Yan family, who is in charge of the Si Kou Academy, also agrees with Wu He's statement. You must know that the Sikou Yuan is the most important force to maintain this iron law, and the Island Hall under the jurisdiction of the Sikou Yuan was resolutely opposed to it before.

In the end, the two sides of the dispute made a compromise decision. As long as Kaifeng's mother herself can pass through the barrier that firmly covers Qiyuan Island and the affiliated islands, even if she is approved by the divine envoy, it is not a violation of the iron law. When she returned to Qiyuan Island from outside, she still recognized her as a person from Qiyuan Island. ”

"What's the matter, is there any problem?" Xue Qi saw Sha Lijian's eyebrows frowning slightly, and then asked.

"Not really, I just think things are going too well. Sha Li shook his head slightly.

"Hehe, that happened twenty years ago, and Kaifeng's mother is long gone, even if there is really something hidden, there is no need to investigate. ”

Xue Qi seemed to have thought through a long time. Sha Li also nodded yes.

"However, when she passed through that barrier, she was hindered, after all, she also had my blood on her. However, compared to the others in Qiyuan Island, it is already much better. Thankfully, she got what she wanted. Though...... It also paid a price. ”

When she said the last sentence, Xue Qi's expression was obviously stunned, as if she recalled some scenes that she wanted to forget but couldn't forget.

Obviously, Kaifeng's mother must have paid a lot of price in order to pass through the barrier of Qiyuan Island. Otherwise, with Xue Qi's always calm and breezy temperament, he would never reveal such a significant change in mood.

"In just a few days, your cultivation has increased dramatically, although your vitality is condensed and strong, but you haven't stabilized your state of mind after all. If it goes on like this, I am afraid that there will be hidden dangers in the heart. If there is nothing to do in the past few days, first calm down and meditate on enlightenment. ”

Sha Li knew in his heart that in order to answer the confusion in his heart, Xue Qi had unearthed the past events that were sealed in the deepest part of his memory again, and his heart couldn't help but feel turbulent. At this moment, she may need to calm down.

"Yes. The disciple retired. ”

Looking at the back of Sha Li leaving, Xue Qi sighed for some reason.
