565: Chapter 565 My Master in My Youth

Just then, not far from the young girl, a faint spiritual light flickered, and two figures appeared.

One was a middle-aged man in a white robe with a serious expression, and the other was a gentle, beautiful woman in blue clothing.

They were the girl's parents.

"Yaner, the banquet is about to begin! If you're ready, let's go!" Mother Meng said in a gentle tone, waving her hand to signal.

Upon hearing this, Meng Shuyan curled her lips. "Mother, can I not go?"

"No, you must go." Father Meng's brow furrowed slightly as he spoke in a deep voice.

"I don't want to go! Also, I want to go out and gain experience; I don't want to keep staying in the Family!" Meng Shuyan clenched her jade-like hands and spoke with a firm tone.

"Yaner, you..." Father Meng was about to scold her when he was interrupted by Mother Meng beside him.

She patted Father Meng's hand and persuaded him:

"Alright, alright, don't be like that. Yaner has probably been in seclusion for too long and is feeling a bit stifled, so she wants to go out for a walk.

After all, staying in the Ancestral Land all the time can be a bit boring! You can't blame her!"

Father Meng looked at Mother Meng with some helplessness and sighed slightly, "You just keep pampering her!"

Immediately after, Mother Meng stepped forward, looked at Meng Shuyan, and said with a face full of smiles:

"Yaner, after attending the banquet, Mother will step in and have the Clan Chief agree to let you go out for experience."

"Mm, alright then, it's a deal!" Meng Shuyan nodded slightly and gave a sweet smile. "Mother, thank you!"

She believed what her mother said.

However, the Clan Chief was very strict and certainly wouldn't agree.

It seems the only way is...

A flash of craftiness crossed Meng Shuyan's eyes as a plan formed in her mind, her red lips curling slightly.

"Nonsense! Forget it, we'll talk about it after the banquet!

Come, we're going to the Family Heads Great Hall right now!"

Father Meng flicked his sleeve and walked ahead.

"Father, I understand."

Meng Shuyan said obediently.

Then, with a flash of movement, she followed directly behind her parents.

But at this moment, Meng Shuyan's thoughts had long since drifted off to who-knows-where.

Her head was filled with thoughts of where to go for a stroll in the Spirit Void Realm when the time came.

...

Half an incense stick later.

Many Meng Family clansmen had already entered the Family Heads Great Hall.

The originally spacious and quiet Family Heads Great Hall had become bustling and incredibly lively.

These Meng Family clansmen looked excited; whether they had seen Meng Shuyan before or not, they were all looking forward to seeing her.

After all, Meng Shuyan was the most talented clansman in their Meng Family and the hope for the Meng Family's rise.

At this time, Su Yun, who was following behind the crowd, also entered the Family Heads Great Hall.

He looked around and saw that hundreds of jade tables had already been neatly arranged within the hall.

Seats were allocated according to the Meng Family's main and branch lineages.

Many Meng Family clansmen had already taken their seats at the tables.

“There are quite a lot of people in this Meng Family!” Su Yun was somewhat surprised at the sight. “There doesn't seem to be a Cultivation Family of such scale in the Haomiao Realm.”

Just then, three figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Family Heads Great Hall.

The Meng Family clansmen inside the hall immediately erupted into a commotion.

“She’s here! She is our Family’s Genius girl, Meng Shuyan!

So beautiful! If only I could become her Dao Companion.”

“To have already become an Dao Integration Realm Cultivator at such a young age!

I really want to be a kept man now!

If I had a Dao Companion in the Body Dao Integration Realm, wouldn't I just take off directly?”

Many Meng Family youths looked at Meng Shuyan with burning eyes.

They couldn't help but swallow their saliva, their hearts stirred.

Although the chances were slim, what if they were noticed?

Truth be told, they actually rarely saw Meng Shuyan.

Because of Meng Shuyan's talent.

She generally lived in the inner perimeter of the Meng Family Ancestral Land.

They could only see her once every few years.

But every meeting left them enchanted.

“Revered Master in her youth, let me see!”

A flash of curiosity appeared in Su Yun's eyes as he turned his head directly toward the hall entrance.

Hiss~ As expected of Revered Master!

Still so beautiful!

Meng Shuyan moved with light steps, her posture swaying gracefully as she slowly walked into the hall.

Her dark eyes sparkled as she looked around, her red lips were slightly upturned, and her skin was like congealed fat. She wore a plain white dress, and her waterfall-like black hair fell naturally.

The twenty-year-old Meng Shuyan was not as full-figured and shapely as she would be hundreds of years later.

However, as Su Yun looked closely, he could still see that she was beginning to take shape, petite and exquisite—a charming and moving young girl.

“Revered Master looks very happy!” Su Yun remarked with emotion.

Although after becoming Meng Shuyan's disciple,

He often saw Meng Shuyan's bright smile.

Su Yun could still vaguely feel that beneath Meng Shuyan's smile, a special emotion was hidden.

He didn't understand it before and didn't think much of it, thinking his feelings were wrong.

But now, combined with what Meng Shuyan had said not long ago about her past experiences,

Su Yun finally understood what was truly hidden in his Revered Master's heart.

Perhaps his gaze was too obvious.

Meng Shuyan, who had just reached the middle of the hall, suddenly sensed something.

Her beautiful eyes moved slightly as she looked around, and then she involuntarily looked toward Su Yun.

In an instant, a look of confusion appeared on Meng Shuyan's pretty face. Her willow-like brows furrowed slightly as she murmured:

“Eh? Who is he? I'm...”

A faint sound suddenly rang out.

Thump, thump, thump~

She suddenly found that her heart was beating very fast.

For some reason, she felt that this person was very, very important to her.

A peculiar feeling welled up in her heart.

But she hadn't seen this person before?

What exactly was going on?

“Yaner, what's wrong? The banquet is about to start; why are you still standing here in a daze?”

Mother Meng, seeing her daughter stop her pace and look blankly into the crowd, spoke with some confusion.

“Mother, it's nothing. Let's go!” Meng Shuyan shook her head, calmed her heart, and didn't think too much more.

That was definitely an illusion just now.

It had nothing to do with that person!

Perhaps she had been in seclusion for too long recently and was a bit tired?

Mm~ that must be it.

Afterward, Meng Shuyan continued toward the depths of the hall, but before leaving, she still turned her head to glance at Su Yun.

“Does Revered Master have memories of the outside world?”

“No, it seems not. Revered Master didn't recognize me!”

“So, what should I do next?”

Su Yun rubbed his chin, falling into thought.

Everything shown in this dream was perhaps the scene in Revered Master's memory from the period before the Meng Family was destroyed.

So, what could he, who had unexpectedly come here, do?

Was there even a question!

Although it was just a dream, a memory of the past, and everything was already irreversible.

But Su Yun still wanted to help his Revered Master and eliminate the nightmare hidden deep in her heart.

Moreover, he discovered that in this dream, he seemed to be able to exert his full strength all the same.

Perhaps he could...

Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Su Yun's eyes, and then he sat directly on a seat.

He looked at the delicious food in front of him.

He tried a bit.

There was no taste at all.

As expected, it was fake.

But this was also normal; after all, it was inside a dream.
