[The second day of the third month of the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, the second day of the first month, the second time, the south of Chang'an City, Meixuezhai]

Yiqing stood on the top floor of the Star Picking Tower, waited for Li Yi for a long time, and knew that he must have something to do and walked away and would not come back, so he went downstairs and went home.

She walked all the way, walked and stopped, and walked for most of the hour, until the time was over, and then returned to Meixuezhai in the south of Chang'an City.

Yiqing had just stepped into the door of Meixuezhai with her front foot, and with her back foot, she saw her senior sister Yichen walking towards her:

"Dead girl, where did you go to the wild today, I waited for a long time and didn't see you come back!"

"Senior sister, I've only been out for a while, why are you talking about me again?" Yiqing pouted.

"Don't say it, hurry up and clean up and go with Senior Sister!" Yichen urged.

"......Where are you going?" Yiqing wondered, and then she saw that Yichen was already carrying a bulging bag, and a long sword was also stuck diagonally in her back.

Yichen said: "Let's set off and return to Mount Emei!"

Yiqing heard that her senior sister was going to take her out of Chang'an and return to the teacher's sect immediately, and she was naturally disappointed in her heart. She immediately asked, "Second Senior Sister, why did we leave Chang'an suddenly? Didn't you agree to Brother Li to be the master of the Seventeenth Princess? You have only been teaching her for less than three months, why are you in a hurry to leave?"

Yichen said: "Since Xu Gongzi sent the Tianyun Sword, a holy relic of the master's sect, I sent a message to my master Feishu to inform me of this great event. Today's noon, Master's Feishu has also arrived, and the Master's mood is the same as ours, and he is overjoyed. Her old man ordered us to get up immediately and bring this sacred relic of Master Shushan back to the master's gate!"

Yiqing also said happily: "Master, she replied!" However, after thinking about it, she couldn't help but worry again: "But...... I can't go back right now!"

Yichen's face turned pale and said, "What...... You've been in Chang'an for a few months, and you don't want to go back to Emei!"

Yiqing hurriedly defended: "No, Senior Sister, listen to me! I just promised Brother Li to help him solve a case. We have been in the capital for so long, thanks to Brother Li's care, it is rare for him to ask me for help, how can I just agree to turn around and leave?!"

Yi Chenqi said: "Will King Zhao ask you to help? and let you help him solve the case? You are not from Dali Temple, what case can you solve?"

Yi Qing said: "This case that Brother Li asked me to solve is not an ordinary case, the culprit of the crime is not an ordinary human being, but a monster! This demon exclusively takes the young and strong men of Chang'an City as the prey, and absorbs the essence of the man's Yuanyang with the 'marrow sucking skill'......"

So, Yiqing invited Li Yi to the Star Picking Tower for dinner today, and told Yichen about the strange case in the capital that she talked about during the banquet.

After hearing this, Yichen paced a few steps in the courtyard, she thought for a while, but still shook her head and said: "Although this case is very important, but there is Zhao Wangye personally in command, and there are Dali Temple, Criminal Department, and Jingzhao Mansion in Chang'an City...... These yamen cooperate in investigating cases, and even if there is a big case, it will be solved sooner or later. Besides, Senior Sister is thousands of miles away from Emei on this trip, and she may not come to Chang'an again after returning to Shimen! Leaving you alone in Chang'an, Senior Sister I really don't feel at ease!"

Yiqing was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and said with a crying voice: "Senior sister, who said that I am just a girl's family? Brother Li also said just now, I am the queen of the famous family of Shushan, this swordsmanship, can ...... Brother Li also said repeatedly, saying that my Shushan Daofa is the nemesis of those demons, and now, a strange case has occurred in Chang'an City, and monsters have appeared in the world, and many young and strong men have died because of this. If this matter spreads, not only will those Chang'an people laugh at us, but even the master and her old man will know about it, and they will blame us for not saving us when they see death!"

Yiqing said again: "Moreover, Brother Li treats us so well, he rarely begs us once, I just agreed, and then left like this, this is unavoidable...... Isn't it too unrighteous? Senior sister doesn't often teach me to be a person who keeps my promises? How can I treat what I promise to the other party as child's play?"

Seeing that Yichen was still hesitating, Yiqing took another step forward, grabbed a right arm and kept shaking it from side to side, while begging bitterly: "Oh! Senior sister...... I know you feel sorry for me, and you can't rest assured of me, but I'm already over 20 years old this year, so don't worry, senior sister! Yiqing will take care of herself!"

Among the people of Emeishan's "Yi" generation, Yiqing and Yichen are the best, and the two are sisters, like mother and daughter. And whenever Yiqing has excessive demands, she always rushes forward, grabs Yichen's arm, and sways from side to side until Yichen reluctantly agrees. This trick "rocker plan" has worked repeatedly, and now, under Yiqing's hard begging, Yichen had to nod helplessly and sighed:

"Okay! If you really don't want to go back, it's useless for Senior Sister to force you! Then you can stay by yourself! cough...... Although Chang'an City is prosperous and lively, it is not a place where the people of my Daomen have lived for a long time after all! When this case is over, you need to leave and come back immediately!" "Let's read a book."

Seeing that Yichen finally agreed to his request, Yiqing said happily: "I know, senior sister, don't worry, when the matter is over, junior sister, I will leave immediately, rush back to Emei, and don't delay!"

Yichen said again: "Since October last year, you and I were ordered by the master to send a letter to King Zhao, and it has been nearly half a year in the blink of an eye. In the past six months, King Zhao has treated us well, not only giving us a house to live in, but also taking care of good food and good meals every day, and doing everything we need for our daily needs...... If the senior sister was not in a hurry, she should have resigned to King Zhao before leaving. Cough!...... It's okay for you to stay, since you promised to help King Zhao solve the case, then you ...... Let's help him catch demons!"

Yi Qing said with a smile: "Senior sister, don't worry, I have promised Brother Li, that harmful goblin will be wrapped up in this girl's body! Next, I will search every corner of Chang'an City, even if it is heaven and earth, I will definitely capture this goblin!"

Yi Chen couldn't help but smile when he saw the excitement on his little junior sister's face: "Don't talk so much! The person who can cultivate the 'marrow absorbing skill' in this world must be an extraordinary person with extraordinary magic skills! Although you are gifted and can use the sword in the air, you lack the experience of facing the enemy. In the future, Senior Sister is not by your side, you must be careful everywhere, once you find the trace of that monster, immediately report to King Zhao, don't be brave for a while!

"Got it......," Yiqing replied softly.

"Alright...... Then you take good care of yourself, senior sister...... Let's go!" Yichen stepped forward and touched Yiqing's cheek, and after finishing her words, she was about to set off on her way.

"Senior sister, you have to ...... Gone?" Yiqing's heart suddenly swelled with reluctance.

Just now, she was excited that she could finally stay in Chang'an, but at this time, when she thought of separating from her second senior sister, her heart was full of sadness......

She grew up in Mount Emei since she was a child, and she didn't know who her parents were, only that she was a baby girl who was abandoned by the roadside. On that day, her master Miao Yu Zhenren happened to pass by her, and in the freezing weather, she was lying in the grass beside the road, and suddenly let out a loud cry. Miaoyu Zhenren followed the sound to find her, and when she saw her strange appearance and crying, she sighed that she was a person with wisdom roots. So, Miaoyu Zhenren brought her into Emei and made an exception to accept her as a closed disciple and named her Yiqing.

That year, Miao Yu Zhenren had reached the age of fifty, her eldest disciple Yixin was already thirty, and even Yixin's eldest disciple He Ling was already twenty-one years old at that time. Miao Yu Zhenren has not accepted apprentices for more than ten years, and this time he made an exception for Yiqing, and this incident made many fellow disciples envious. Since then, Yiqing has stayed in Mount Emei to cultivate, and she has also become the youngest disciple of the "Yi" character generation of the Emei faction, twenty years younger than the eldest disciple of the "He" character generation and Lingdu.

Among the senior sisters in Yiqing, the senior sister Yixin has the highest martial arts, and has won the true transmission of the master, and the Taoism has reached the first-class realm. However, the senior sister is old-fashioned and restricts her disciples very strictly, Yiqing is always so scared that she doesn't dare to say more in front of the senior sister, but when she sees the second senior sister Yichen, she always has endless things to say, the two move and stand still, and their temperament is very compatible, over the years, Yichen and Yiqing are always tired of being together every day, in the eyes of outsiders, these two people are not so much a pair of sisters, but a pair of mother and daughter.

Twenty years have passed in a hurry, and now, I suddenly thought that I would have to part with this second senior sister from now on, how could the sorrow in Yiqing's heart be stopped? Tears fell like pearls with broken threads......

"Okay, you stupid girl, just now Senior Sister told you to go, but you refused to go, and now Senior Sister promised to let you stay, why are you crying again?......" Yichen was about to leave, seeing that Yiqing was so reluctant, her face was full of tears, she shook her head, and had to turn around and comfort.

"Senior sister, I'll send you!" Yiqing said with tears in her eyes.

......

Yiqing and Yichen accompanied them all the way, until they were sent outside the south gate of Chang'an City, Yichen asked her to go back earlier several times, but Yiqing refused to turn back.

People's psychology is so strange, Yiqing was still regretting that she couldn't stay in Chang'an just now, and in the blink of an eye, she was inseparable because she was about to part with Yichen......

This reluctance made her almost regret it, she once wanted to change her mind, so she accompanied the second senior sister back to Mount Emei, and since then she has lived happily and carefree in the mountains with her senior sister.

What's more, along the way, Yichen kept telling Yiqing that after that, he must be careful to assist Zhao Wang Li Yi in investigating the case. In addition, Yichen also left a letter to her apprentice, the seventeenth princess Li Qi, saying that she had no choice but to rush back to her master, and he would talk about the friendship between master and apprentice in the future. Yichen saw that his junior sister wanted to stay in Chang'an, so he ordered Yiqing to teach Li Qi's martial arts and Taoism on her behalf.

Yichen and Yiqing did not travel until they reached a place twenty miles away from Chang'an City, and Yichen once again ordered Yiqing to stop, this time, she would not let Yiqing send it again no matter what.

The two parted in tears, and Yiqing had to stay where she was, watching her second senior sister's slender figure go farther and farther away, until it disappeared far away under the mountains and mist, and Yiqing's eyes were once again like tears......

In the distance, under the setting sun, dozens of crows flew by, and the sound of crows came with the wind, as if playing a parting song for the separation of the two......
