"I can see you every day, walk home with you after school. Herd cattle with you, gather pigweed together, just thinking about it makes me happy."

Ling Zhenfei understood in his heart; just now, when he emptied everything in his mind, he arrived at this place, the best time in the depths of his heart.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Do you still remember things from childhood? If you went back to when you were over ten years old, could you still find your house? Are you sure you wouldn't remember it wrong?"

He Lingxiu said, "Of course, I wouldn't remember wrong. My memories from that time are very deep. Although there's been a huge change now, I feel like everything is still in my heart."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then do you remember the two cows your family had?"

He Lingxiu said, "Of course I remember. One was called Old Huang, and the other was Big Hua. You were the one who named them."

Ling Zhenfei looked at the two old cattle at He Lingxiu's doorway. So, they were called Big Huang and Little Hua; Ling Zhenfei had already forgotten.

"Do you still remember the stone platform in front of my door?"

He Lingxiu smiled and said, "Of course I remember. It was originally hollow underneath. Later on, some bricks and stones were added. There were also words I etched on it."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised, hurriedly walked to his stone platform, bent down, and took a look. Sure enough, there were some bricks underneath, but there weren't any etched words from He Lingxiu on it.

Ling Zhenfei seemed to realize something. The scene now was something from the depths of Ling Zhenfei's memory, and things that Ling Zhenfei didn't know naturally wouldn't appear.

Ling Zhenfei seemed to think of something and asked He Lingxiu, "Do you remember whether the trees on the left or right of the soapberry tree at Snail's Door were thicker?"

He Lingxiu said, "The left was thicker. At that time, you even said the one on the left was the husband and the right was the wife."

Ling Zhenfei asked again, "Do you remember what words were written on the shadow wall at Guanglong's household?"

He Lingxiu said, "It was 'Family Harmony Brings Success,' and you asked me to read it out loud. You forgot. You're so strange, always asking these questions."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I naturally have my reasons. Just answer, please."

Ling Zhenfei kept asking He Linxiu while walking through the village. He Lingxiu's memory was truly excellent; she knew everything about the village as if she were reciting it from a book, not making the slightest mistake.

As long as it was something Ling Zhenfei knew, there was no error. But in the places Ling Zhenfei didn't know, those scenes wouldn't appear.

"How many trees are at the entrance of Zhang Duo's abandoned courtyard?" Ling Zhenfei suddenly noticed something was amiss.

There were originally three trees at the entrance of Zhang Duo's abandoned courtyard. The three trees grew very close to each other, and they often climbed up them.

But now, there were four trees at Zhang Duo's door. According to the previous scenario, he remembered there being three trees, so there should have been three trees here.

But now, a fourth tree appeared, which didn't sit right.

Ling Zhenfei deeply remembered these three trees because once he fell from there while climbing, so he never forgot.

He Lingxiu said, "There were three trees at the entrance of Zhang Duo's abandoned courtyard. We often played beneath them."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback; since He Lingxiu said so too, then it wasn't wrong, meaning there were three trees at the entrance. Why was there a fourth tree now?

Ling Zhenfei walked around the trees in a circle. He remembered the positions of the three trees clearly, and now there was another tree not far away.

"Brother Afei, why are you asking so many questions about the past, what's wrong with you?" He Lingxiu was very curious.

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's nothing, just feeling nostalgic. After you finish treating people in Yunchuan, hurry back to Qinghe Village. It's been a while."

He Lingxiu said, "Brother Afei, you've been out for a long time too, you should hurry back."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Wait for me in the village, I'll be back soon."

They hung up the phone, and Ling Zhenfei stood under the tree and started laughing.

This large tree was exceptionally tall and looked so harmonious with the other three trees around it.

But Ling Zhenfei knew this particular tree was definitely problematic. Its appearance here, out of nowhere, wasn't right at all.

Ling Zhenfei raised his fist, using a bit of Northern Spiritual Energy, and struck at that large tree.

Boom!

Crack!

After striking the tree, it snapped in response.

But after breaking, it was clear that this was no tree—it was a large flagpole.

Looking around, the surroundings were no longer Qinghe Village; the ground was green grass, surrounded by flagpoles, their pennants fluttering loudly in the wind.

The formation was broken!

This formation, though difficult, it was also really simple, broken easily by Ling Zhenfei having found the formation eye.

Now everything was clear, looking around. Ling Zhenfei found himself at a corner of the grand formation, and on the central pillar, Xiao Yun was tied there.

Perhaps she was tied up for too long; Xiao Yun's head hung low, seeming in poor spirits.

Being tied to a post wouldn't be comfortable for anyone, let alone a normal girl.

Ling Zhenfei ran towards Xiao Yun, because once the formation eye was broken, the formation posed no threat to Ling Zhenfei anymore.

Very soon, he'd reached the center of the large formation, and Xiao Yun still hung her head, motionless, on the post.

"Xiao Yun, are you okay?"

Ling Zhenfei called Xiao Yun's name, and she finally raised her head, giving Ling Zhenfei a glance.

Of course, Xiao Yun didn't expect Ling Zhenfei to appear. Upon seeing him, her eyes brimmed with tears, and she couldn't stop them from flowing.

Ling Zhenfei walked over to her side and untied the rope from her body.

Once freed, Xiao Yun threw herself into Ling Zhenfei's arms.

"Big Brother Ling, it's you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's me. Did they do anything to you?"

Xiao Yun said, "They kept me tied up and said they were going to kill me. I was really scared. I thought I was going to die."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, I'm here. No one can hurt you."

Ling Zhenfei led Xiao Yun outside.

At that moment, there was a commotion among the crowd outside the grand formation. They couldn't believe Ling Zhenfei had managed to break the formation in such a short time—absolutely incredible.

Ling Zhenfei brought Xiao Yun towards the outside, passing through the flagpoles, and Zuo Mengzhi and others appeared before him.

"Ling Zhenfei, you truly have great luck, stumbling upon the solution to break the formation."

Seeing Zuo Mengzhi, a wave of anger surged in Ling Zhenfei's heart.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Kidnapping my friend to threaten me, Zuo Mengzhi, you've crossed my line. Today, you all must die."

In the Lingxiu Realm, there was once a rule: grudges stay with their origin, and harm does not extend to family.

So, their conduct had already crossed Ling Zhenfei's line, and having experienced despair in the Mysterious Array, he was even more enraged now.

Zuo Mengzhi laughed and said, "Ling Zhenfei, do you really think we're afraid of you? Do you know why I led you into the grand formation myself?"
