Chapter 3

  It's unclear whether it was Flowing Light's curse that reached the heavens, but a wave of spasmodic pain spread from his brain.

  "Damn it! You're still coming... to play with me?" Liuguang held his head in his hands, weakly muttering a sentence.

  A sudden dizziness swept over Flowing Light's mind, and amidst the confusion, a large amount of information surged into her mind. Fragmented and incomplete images flashed by continuously until the dizziness dissipated; Flowing Light then organized everything using the information in her mind, finally understanding the general situation of this body.

  The original owner of this body was called Lin Ruolan, a five-year-old who was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family in Yangzhou; she had an older brother named Lin Hai, thirteen years her senior.

  The Lin family in Yangzhou can be considered a noble and aristocratic family, but it has always been sparse in population and not prosperous in descendants; before Mr. Lin Ruolan's father, the Lin family had been single-handedly passed down for several generations, and only when it came to Lin Ruolan's generation; Mr. Lin not only had a son named Lin Hai, but also gave birth to a daughter named Lin Ruolan in the thirteenth year of Lin Hai's life.

  For Old Master Lin and Madame Lin, Lin Ruolan is not only the old couple's late-born daughter but also the lucky star who broke the Lin family's generations-long single-transmission curse. For this Lin Ruolan, they naturally have all sorts of doting love; regarding her as a precious gem, holding her in their hands for fear she'll fly away and keeping her in their mouths for fear she'll melt away; truly being everyone's heart's treasure.

  Not to mention Mr. and Mrs. Lin, even Lin Hai, who is thirteen years older than Lin Ruo Lan, doted on this late-arriving little sister just the same as he did on Xing Xing Yue Yue.

  The Lin family was originally a noble and aristocratic family for generations, and the girl who was raised in such a way was naturally envied by everyone and praised by everyone.

  It should have been the case that there would be no more trouble, but unexpectedly, in the year Lin Ruolan was four years old, she contracted a serious illness. This illness was so severe that medicine had no effect and Lin Ruolan's life hung by a thread. A dramatic scene unfolded.

  At that time, a white-bearded Taoist who claimed to be Qing Weizi suddenly appeared in front of Lin Lao Ye, Lin Furen and Lin Hai's family of three. He claimed that he had a master-disciple relationship with Lin Ruolan; if Lin Lao Ye and Lin Furen were willing to let him take Lin Ruolan away for ten years, Qing Weizi said that Lin Ruolan would definitely live to be one hundred years old in the future.

  Is it that Qing Weizi gives people a feeling of being too dignified, or is it the way Qing Weizi appears too mysterious? To know that Lin Lao Ye, Lin Furen and Lin Hai's family are currently inside the inner courtyard; Qing Weizi suddenly appeared out of thin air like a god.

  Mr. Lin and his wife didn't suspect a thing, nor did the usually astute Hai Lin have any doubts about each other's intentions; they only felt reluctant to part with their daughter (younger sister).

  But nothing is more important than the life of his own daughter (sister), so Lin Ruo Lan was taken away by Qing Wei Zi; became the opponent's youngest and last closed-door disciple.

  Uh... from now on, I'll be called Lin Ruolan.

  As for the wisdom of the ancients, Lin Ruolan had never doubted it, but as for the wisdom of Old Master Lin and Mistress Lin who had become her own parents, as well as that of her elder brother Lin Hai, she couldn't help but feel some skepticism.

  Good good...... just because someone casually said so, you several people let others take away your daughter (sister) in such a big and open manner; aren't any of you worried? Is it really okay like this?

  Lin Ruo Lan couldn't help but feel a little worried, um... her family members that she had never met before wouldn't all be some book-smart idiots, would they?

  It wasn't until many years later that Lin Ruolan realized that her family members, including her parents and brother, were not just ordinary people; everyone in the family except herself had become a cunning and sinister fox spirit.

  Until she received all the memories of her original owner, Lin Ruolan's heart finally completely put down; Hehe... Fortunately, she didn't cross over into The Smiling, Proud Wanderer and become Linghu Chong's junior sister.

  Unfortunately, she let her guard down a bit too quickly, and soon Lin Ruolan couldn't smile anymore; at this moment, she would have preferred that the world she was in was "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", as it turned out that the original owner's master was actually a Xuanmen practitioner.

  Damn it! Lin Ruolan almost vomited blood, you bastard heaven, can't you be more ruthless? What kind of world have I crossed into? Lin Ruolan's face was filled with gloom.

  Mystic gate? Do you know what mystic gate is?

  Xuán Mén is another name for Taoism, referring to the mysterious gate; Laozi once said in [Tao Te Ching], "Mystery upon mystery, the door of all wonders"; The mysterious one - the ancestor of nature, and the great ancestor of all things!

  The so-called Xuan is a kind of omnipresent, mysterious and unfathomable sense; such a profound, subtle, elusive, mysterious and omnipresent thing; yet it can make the sky high, the earth low, the clouds move, the rain fall, give birth to the primordial Qi, shape the heaven and earth, produce all things, and nurture countless creatures.

  In short, Xuan is the mother of all things in the universe and the root of its origin. To put it simply, the Xuanmen is what ordinary people would call a group of immortals, but most importantly, this so-called master of mine doesn't seem to be some kind of swindler from the jianghu, he's actually a genuine high-ranking expert in Xuanmen with real skills.

  Cough... It seems like it's still a legendary door from the hidden world; a legendary master!

  Lin Ruolan almost fell into the Silver Spring again, taking a deep breath... right, no surprise, no excitement; it's nothing but the Mystic Gate, isn't it? Lin Ruolan kept giving herself psychological boosts, hmm... that someone, who hasn't eaten pork but has seen pigs run; I'm not afraid - this Xian Jian legend, Xian Jian 3, Qian Nü Yōu Hún and all that jazz, I've watched too much of it, this Mystic Gate is just a small dish - I'm not afraid!

  Besides, sister still has special abilities...

  Thinking of her own superpower, Lin Ruolan's heart skipped a beat; she didn't know if this superpower had followed her when she crossed over?

  Not far from the Silver Spring, on the edge of a pool that was an arm's length away from me, there was a pot of flowers and grasses that I couldn't identify. In the white jade-like transparent flower pot, there was a small sprout that had just germinated not long ago; but just by looking at the flower pot, it was already extraordinary, so the little sprouts in the flower pot must be even more precious!

  Lin Ruo Lan's heart stirred, and she slowly stretched out her hand. She gently closed her eyes; in a short while, she felt a warm flow of air spreading throughout her brain, and a silver glow emerged from the center of Lin Ruo Lan's palm.

  "Hehe...... still here!" Lin Ruolan's mouth corners slightly curled up, a bright smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

  Delicate hands gently covered the small sprout, which originally had only two leaves, growing at a visible rate; one leaf, two leaves, three leaves... soon the small sprout grew from its original height of about an inch to about 1.5 feet, with a lush and vibrant appearance paired with a snow-white crystal-clear flower pot; instantly captivating the eye and impossible to look away.
