"Then later, Daddy hasn't told me how you met Frost Leaf!"

"Okay, Daddy, isn't he going to keep talking. ”

Ye Yingbo, who left the Kunlun Domain, originally planned to stay in the world from now on, but when he was so startled by the cars, motorcycles, and electric cars that roared across the street that he stood on the side of the road for almost an hour, Ye Yingbo still decided to find another place. In the early morning of the day he decided to go to Penglai Island, a baby's cry caught his attention, and he followed the cry to find it, brushing away the frosted maple branches, and finally found a baby under a red maple tree.

Ye Yingbo looked for a long time, but there was no token on the baby, only the swaddling clothes were neatly embroidered with the word Qin, and the cold wind blew the maple tree to the ground with frost, Ye Yingbo smiled softly and said to the baby: "It's better to call you Shuangye, Qin Shuangye." I don't know if she understood or what, the baby in her arms actually laughed along, she tilted her head, as if she wanted to show favor to Ye Yingbo, and happened to reveal the corner of her right eye that was covered by swaddling clothes. Ye Yingbo noticed that there were three purple birthmarks there, and when he covered his hand, he could feel a faint cultivation surging under it: "In this case, you can follow me to Penglai Island." ”

Qin Shuangye remembers the story clearly, she grew up with her father on Penglai Island, and listened to the sound of the tide from Tianshui since she was a child. Daddy told her that she would take a bamboo raft from Tianshui all the way to the west, and when she drove out of Yunzhou, it was Kunlun Domain. There is also a family surnamed Yan, the Yan family on Penglai Island is a branch from the Kunlun domain thousands of years ago, the Yan family has been famous for medical skills since ancient times, and the peak of medical practice on Penglai Island for thousands of years, so there is a rumor that Penglai immortal medicine can cure all kinds of diseases and turn death into life.

When she was a child, Qin Shuangye was full of curiosity about the Kunlun Domain, she often pestered Ye Yingbo, asking him when he could take her to the Kunlun Domain to see, but Ye Yingbo always didn't answer. So she had to coquettish and let Ye Yingbo tell her more stories about Kunlun Domain, in Qin Shuangye's heart at that time, Kunlun Domain was different from the cold Penglai Island, where there were bustling streets and alleys, there were righteous and enthusiastic four families, there were countless children who loved to play and make trouble like her, she had seen Kunlun Domain in her dreams thousands of times, and every time her father was by her side, Qin Shuangye never thought that one day, when she really went to Kunlun Domain, there was no one around her who had been with her and was called her father.

Penglai Island is located on the sea, and the fog is hazy all year round, especially in winter, the sky, the earth and the sea are white. Qin Shuangye had always felt that the three black and purple birthmarks under her right eye were very eye-catching, and on this fairy-filled Penglai Island, she was even more indistinguishable from the people in the Demon Sect. So under her repeated complaints, Ye Yingbo bought a box of golden Huadian out of nowhere, he picked three of them and gently covered Qin Shuangye's birthmark, the girl took the mirror, turned her face sideways, and it happened that the rare sunlight in winter hit the three-petaled Huadian, shining on the ground, like the legendary golden-leaf lotus.

Early the next morning, Qin Shuangye put up flowers and rushed to the yard to find Ye Yingbo, unlike in the past, Ye Yingbo, who was always waiting for Qin Shuangye to get up in the courtyard on weekdays, was nowhere to be found today, she searched every room, and finally found a letter on the table in the study. It was a letter sent from Kunlun Domain, and the signature was a person named Ye Suolan, Qin Shuangye didn't have to guess that this was her little uncle, she unfolded the letter, and dense words gradually grew on the originally blank stationery, and when it was about to fill a page, those words actually floated into the air in turn as if they were lined up, and finally there was almost a whole wall. The names mentioned in it, Qin Shuangye, did not feel unfamiliar, she had heard those names in Ye Yingbo's mouth countless times, and before she could finish reading the letter, she rushed out of the door and rushed to Tianshui Ferry.

In the cold season, the Tianshui ferry is more silent than usual, there is no sound, even the tide is frozen, quietly stagnant, only the fog on the sea is still entangled in those clouds that drift very low and flow slowly. Qin Shuangye hadn't practiced spells yet, so she had to run all the way, and when she arrived, she could only vaguely see a lonely boat sailing on the clouds gradually moving away, and she stepped on the ice before she had time to think about it, stumbling in the direction of the lonely boat, but in the end she could only watch it disappear at the end of the heavenly water.

After that day, Qin Shuangye would go to the ferry every day to wait, but more than half a month had passed, and Ye Yingbo still hadn't come back. Finally, she begged an old fisherman to take her out to sea, she was not sure that Ye Yingbo had gone to Kunlun Domain, but every time she thought of her father, Qin Shuangye's birthmark would ache faintly, so she decided to take a gamble and follow Yunzhou to Kunlun Domain to have a look.

When Qin Shuangye found Ye Yingbo, he was lying quietly on the wooden boat, sleeping calmly and without a trace of ups and downs. The saber named Nian Wan was not unsheathed, and like Ye Yingbo, it quietly wandered on the cloud island with the Ye lonely boat. Qin Shuangye couldn't believe it and reached out to stroke the sword with gold leaves on a black background, if it was usual, those ginkgo leaves with clear veins would inevitably flow with golden light, with the fragrance of the ginkgo tree gently wrapping around Qin Shuangye's fingertips, and now, she tried her best to try everywhere but she couldn't feel that familiar breath anymore.

The old fisherman sighed, turned his back and stopped looking in the direction of the two. He is used to seeing life and death parting, but he still has a sense of sadness, the girl behind him changed from constantly calling Ye Yingbo three words to sobbing quietly, and then Xu is finally accepting the facts, she began to roar in pain and helplessness, heartbreaking, as if everyone wanted to hear her resentment again and again, until her voice was hoarse and unable to speak.

When the fishing boat pulled the wooden boat back to Tianshui Ferry, there was a girl standing on the shore, it was the third lady of the Penglai Yan clan, wearing a blue robe and stirring in the wind, and in a trance, Qin Shuangye thought that she was the goddess who came to welcome Ye Ying Boden Immortal. She saw the scene on the wooden boat from a distance, and sighed lightly, not knowing whether she wanted to talk to Qin Shuangye or just talk to herself: "After Brother Yingbo left with the immortal medicine, within a few days, an envoy from the Kunlun Domain came to ask for medicine. Ah Niang told her that Brother Yingbo had left with the immortal medicine a few days ago, and the woman asked again where she went, but Ah Niang only replied that she didn't know. Speaking of this, the girl paused for a moment and looked at Qin Shuangye: "I saw that the woman's expression was flustered, and she had encountered a particularly tricky situation, and she would not be able to think calmly at this time, so I suggested that A-Niang tell her about the speculated situation." But A-Niang said that Penglai Yan has always only told the truth, never speculated, and told others the inferences. Qin Shuangye looked up at the girl with a sluggish expression, she knew that the other party should still have something to say, sure enough, the girl paused for a moment and continued to speak: "The woman said goodbye to A-Niang when she saw that she couldn't ask for medicine, and when she left, even I could see the anger in her eyes, I only felt bad in my heart and it was not easy to stop, so I sent someone to Yunzhou to investigate around." A few days ago, the spies came to report that they had not found Brother Yingbo, but they found a large number of runes used by the Jiang clan maze on Yunzhou. Speaking of this, the girl didn't say any more, she took out a few talismans from her pouch that had obviously been used and gave them to Qin Shuangye, and those yellowed pieces of paper rattled in the wind, causing Qin Shuangye, who was already numb, to start crying again.

Five days later, a man who looked very similar to Ye Yingbo appeared in front of Qin Shuangye, and his daughter, who was about the same age as Qin Shuangye, obediently took her father's hand and asked, "Shuangye, do you want to go to Kunlun Domain with us?"

In the next ten years, Qin Shuangye has not stepped into the Ye family a few times, she prefers the small courtyard that belongs to her on Shangyang Peak, which is the same as Penglai Island, perennial clouds and mist and the wind does not stop, every time she dreams back at midnight, she will think that she has returned to Penglai, just call her father, Ye Yingbo will light the lamp and ask her what is wrong. But after all, everything is just a trance at the moment of waking up from a dream, and when you wake up completely, there is only the whistling wind in your ears.

Qin Shuangye didn't think about avenging Ye Yingbo, but she was a person who understood, although she had only seen the two Jiang brothers and sisters, she deeply understood that she couldn't surpass the two people with outstanding talents no matter what, or those Jiang people who had been practicing since childhood. She also complained about the unfairness of fate, but time eventually exhausted those inexplicable feelings, she tried to avoid meeting with the Jiang family, even if she happened to meet, she tried to cover up, she covered it so cleverly that only Bai Zhi saw the clue in a few years.

Qin Shuangye didn't think of other ways to take revenge, even when she first approached Bai Zhi and showed favor to Bai Zhi in order to use Bai Zhi's hand to fulfill her wish, but the sister and brother who always had a cold face on the surface were too gentle and too clear, and she was reluctant to let those two people stain a little dust. So Qin Shuangye could only bury those incomparably beautiful memories of her childhood with the hatred in her heart, praying that maybe she would also have a day when her wish would come true.
