Although Liuhe Slope was called a slope, it was actually a continuous stretch of hills. It was shrouded in thick fog all year round, making it impossible to see the scenery. Most people who entered it by mistake lost contact with it. However, there were a few lucky people who walked out of the fog and obtained unimaginable opportunities.

These lucky people all said the same thing. They all said that they saw a meandering river in the thick fog.

There was a crooked willow planted by the river. The trunk was split in half. The lower part was charred, but the upper part was lush with leaves and thin branches. The green leaves were delicate and looked like scissors. It was as if the power of life and death had cut a scar on the tree, drawing a clear line between the two.

Under the willow branches, the river water was green, red, white, and indigo. It was as dazzling as a rainbow, making people yearn for it. They subconsciously walked in the direction of the river.

… However, those who walked in this direction did not walk out of the thick fog.

Only a small number of people chose to go against the flow. Time and space lost their meaning in this thick fog. They walked for an unknown number of days before they finally parted the fog and saw the blazing sun again.

Because too many people died in the fog, this area was later sealed off by various aristocratic families and sects.

Every hundred years, there would be a period of three days when the fog on the slope would completely disperse. This was the so-called Secret Void Ancient Realm.

Xie Ziyou and Chepen set off early and rushed for three days. Finally, on the morning of the third day, they stood at the foot of Liuhe Slope.

The moment the sun rose above the mountains, the thick fog that filled the sky quickly retreated like the tide, revealing a beautiful face in the blue sky. Dawn fell into Xie Ziyou's eyes. He stared at the magnificent scene in front of him without blinking. He sighed in his heart, "How magnificent."

No matter which world it was, the uncanny workmanship of nature was the greatest and most skillful master in the world.

Chepen was not in the mood to admire the magnificent scene before the opening of the secret realm. He squinted his eyes and kept glancing at the crowd. Suddenly, he grabbed Xie Ziyou's sleeve and said anxiously, "Cousin, I saw an acquaintance. I'll go ask him for information first."

"Cousin, don't forget to go to the 'Earth' area first. I'll wait for you there!"

Chepen's eyes flashed. When he mentioned the word "acquaintance", he lacked confidence and his tone was weak. However, when he mentioned the meeting place, he suddenly raised his head. His eyes were burning, as if he was afraid that Xie Ziyou would spit out the word "no".

Xie Ziyou glanced sideways and found it funny.

He waved his hand indifferently and said, "Sure."

After Chepen received the assurance, his slender figure swiftly entered the crowd. His dark green robe was originally inconspicuous, and on this hillside, it blended in with the verdant mountains and black peaks. It was like a drop of water falling into a pond, instantly disappearing without a trace.

"You you," the System reminded him softly. "Be careful, there is a high probability that he will set a trap in the 'Earth' area."

"Don't be afraid," Xie Ziyou said casually. "Watch how I deal with them …"

Before the youth finished speaking, his gaze shifted and his voice suddenly stopped.

Xie Ziyou's entire body suddenly tensed. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared fixedly at a tall and slender figure standing under a poplar tree not far away.

It was so familiar. Even if it was only a back view, it was deeply engraved in the depths of his soul. It caused him to toss and turn in bed every cold and long night, unable to sleep for a long time.

Xie Ziyou's lips trembled. After a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth.

"Guan … Heng?"

… …

Chepen's footsteps were anxious as he passed through the crowd. He stepped on countless clothes along the way and finally stumbled to an old tree. Under the tree, several youths were either leaning or sitting. They were all dressed luxuriously and were chatting happily.

Chepen hurriedly saluted. "Brothers, I have an appointment with Xie Ziyou in the 'Earth' area. Everyone can leave now!"

The attitude of the youths under the tree towards Chepen was very perfunctory. Chepen anxiously urged them a few more times before lazily getting up.

One of them crossed his arms and leaned against a thick tree trunk. He sneered, "Chepen, listen well.

We helped you this time because, first, it was convenient, and second, you paid the right price.

But if you want to order this young master around, don't even think about it! "

"How would I dare to order everyone around?" Chepengen laughed. "It's just a collaboration, nothing more."

He reached his hand into his sleeve and fumbled around for a long time before pulling out a handful of crystals.

Xie family couldn't possibly bribe an enemy to assassinate the son of the first wife. These crystals were all from Chepen's little treasury. He had secretly saved them for a long time.

The youth furrowed his brows in distress, but immediately put on a new smile and stuffed two crystals into each person in front of him.

As he stuffed them, Chepen laughed and said, "This is the deposit. After the deed is done, I will give everyone double the amount of crystals."

"Also, think about it. Xie Ziyou is the most popular person in the Xie family. This time, he must have brought a lot of treasures with him.

I won't take a single one of these treasures. They all belong to my brothers! "

The youth added in his heart: I only want him to die.

And the sword bone on his corpse.

"Alright."

The person under the old tree took the crystals and played with them for a while before replying lazily.

Chepen's smile became even wider.

"Then … let's go?"

He probed, "Guard the 'Earth' entrance and wait for Xie Ziyou to come in. I will give everyone a secret signal. Let's take advantage of his unpreparedness and swarm him together!"

… …

Chepen thought that he had made perfect preparations, but he didn't expect —

Xie Ziyou didn't even go to the 'Earth' entrance.

Ever since he caught a glimpse of that familiar figure, how could Xie Ziyou's mind be filled with anything else?

He dashed to the vicinity of the poplar tree. The closer he got to Xie Heng, the more confused he became.

Not far away, the tall and slender youth had the same temperament as the person in his memory. It was as if he was carved from the same mold. His facial features were handsome, and there was a smile at the corner of his eyes. His short hair was tied behind his head and fluttered in the wind. The morning light sprinkled generously on the ends of his hair, covering the youth with a faint layer of gold.

He turned his head and chatted with a young man in black beside him. A gentle smile flowed from his black eyes, which were as bright as stars. His hair swept across the bridge of his handsome nose.

Xie Ziyou could picture the curve of his lips even with his eyes closed.

"Damn it, it's Guan Heng!"

If it wasn't for the fact that the System didn't have a body, it would have been dizzy from Xie Ziyou's tugging. Xie Ziyou used all his strength to keep his expression from collapsing, but his heart had already collapsed. He screamed "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Calm down, You, calm down!"

The System desperately tried to appease Xie Ziyou. Wen Sheng said: "Look carefully. That's not Guan Heng. He just looks a little like him, right?"

"Don't act blindly without thinking. This person is the main character of this world. He's the Xie Heng who's been providing you with hatred."

Xie Ziyou's heart suddenly trembled.

Of course he knew the name Xie Heng. When he first took over the villain's body, he also took over the original body's memories — — a simplified version. Although he couldn't be there personally, it was enough for Xie Ziyou to recognize the youth in front of him.

His appearance was indeed different from Guan Heng's.

But the appearance in his memory was one thing, and the temperament and elegance of the person in front of him was another.

The original body and Xie Heng had only met a few times, and the few times they had met, he had added his own sensory filter — — in the original body's mind, Xie Heng was a thieving, arrogant, and unscrupulous person who had an ugly image.

Compared to the real temperament of the person in front of Xie Ziyou, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

What really distinguished a person?

Was it the appearance?

No, definitely not.

Having lived in the bizarre and multicolored 21st century, Xie Ziyou knew that some people could quickly drown in a sea of people after changing their clothes or hairstyle. Even their acquaintances might not be able to accurately recognize them.

And some people, even if they changed their faces and casually leaned against a tree with their slender legs casually propped up, they would still be as handsome as the sun or the moon, shining brightly and attracting people's attention.

Xie Ziyou hid behind another ancient tree and carefully poked his head out. His eyes were locked on Xie Heng's body the entire time, taking in every subtle expression and subconscious movement.

The sense of familiarity was overwhelming, almost suffocating the youth.

"This is definitely Guan Heng!" Xie Ziyou said with certainty, "It's not me eating noodles upside down!"

"Calm down."

The System was actually not that familiar with Guan Heng, but seeing Xie Ziyou's solemn and solemn expression, it had doubts in its heart.

But how was this possible?

The protagonist of the previous world changed his body and continued to play the protagonist in the next world?

"You, I'll go back to the headquarters to check the data."

The System carefully chose its words and warned, "Before I bring you the exact information, you must hold back and don't rush forward!"

"You can check the data?" Xie Ziyou almost jumped up from the ground and said anxiously, "Then what are you waiting for?

Go now! "

"… Promise me, don't rush to meet the protagonist face to face. Wait for my news!"

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll hold back, okay?

Go quickly! "

Xie Ziyou was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. His slender eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes flashed. Yingbai could not help but use his fingertips to break the bark and insert it into the trunk.

He did not notice at all, and only his bright eyes followed the figure in front of him closely.

The System had no choice but to quickly escape into the void.

Its heart was full of worries, and it repeatedly looked back, trying to warn him a few more times.

However, Xie Ziyou glared back at it with red eyes.

Forget it, the System thought helplessly, I hope nothing bad happens.

However, just as the tiny bee disappeared into the air, Xie Heng, who was not far away, seemed to sense something and turned back from afar.

He happened to meet a pair of Lê Lê's peach blossom eyes with deep affection.

Clearly, he did not mean to peek, but when he looked directly into Xie Heng's bright eyes, Xie Ziyou's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his vision turned white.

When he came back to his senses, he had already quickly hid behind a tree, and was trying to use the giant tree to hide his body.

Why did he hide?

Xie Ziyou's mind was in a mess. He thought in a panic, whether it was Guan Heng or not, there was no reason for him to hide!

The teenager rubbed his face in annoyance and stood up with the help of the giant tree. He took a deep breath and tried to ignore the beating heart in his chest. He tightened the corners of his mouth and turned around as if nothing had happened.

Xie Heng was standing a few steps away from him, looking at him with a faint smile.

Xie Ziyou was speechless.

Was this person a cat? He walked without making a sound!

However, in the next second, Xie Ziyou had no time to think about whether he was a cat or not, because Xie Heng was striding towards him. His handsome and flawless facial features were constantly magnified in Xie Ziyou's vision. His black satin sleeves were fluttering, and his collar was not fastened tightly. The silk ribbon was blown behind his ears by the wind and went around his slightly red ears. His slightly open lapel revealed half of his tanned skin, full of vitality.

"Xie Ziyou," he called out.

His voice was loud and clear, but after pausing for a moment, there was a trace of hesitation in his tone.

"Can you … return the sword bone to me?"
