Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

"Why don't we go back to the human tribe and say goodbye to our fellow tribesmen." Shiji suggested to everyone.

"Okay, I'm really reluctant to leave." Qiong Xiao missed the comfortable days and the time she spent with her fellow tribesmen.

We returned to the human race and transformed the house into a paradise for children to play according to our requirements.

"Thank you for your care all along." All the tribesmen gathered together, and Shiji said goodbye with a smile. Everyone was reluctant to leave.

After staying with the human tribe for nearly two hours, they returned to Jin'ao Island again.

However, several people were still immersed in the sad atmosphere and unable to extricate themselves.

On the other side, in the Biyou Palace, Laozi and Yuanshi had nothing to do and stayed in Tongtian for a long time.

"Junior sister, what arrangements do you have for your disciple Shiji's training now?" Yuanshi suddenly asked curiously.

If Shiji was willing, he would be happy to have Shiji come to him to learn some other knowledge.

Tongtian took out the teacup, sipped the tea slowly, and said calmly: "I don't have any special arrangements, I will do whatever you want. Now my focus is to train Duobao."

Duobao? Laozi and Yuanshi were a little surprised.

"Junior sister, aren't you worried that your disciple Shiji will slack off because of your indulgence? If he stops practicing, his skills will deteriorate and it will be difficult to improve them again." Yuanshi was very worried. How could a good seedling like Shiji be cultivated in this way!
Lao Tzu nodded thoughtfully, maintaining a neutral attitude.

It was always the two junior sisters who discussed things, and he didn't have any substantive suggestions, so he was just responsible for listening.

"I am not completely letting her do whatever she wants, but I trust my disciple." Tongtian said calmly. This short sentence made Yuanshi speechless.

Tongtian's insights are indeed reasonable. If Shiji truly understands the importance of cultivation, she will be able to perform well without the supervision of others.

After finishing the tea, Laozi picked up the teapot and filled another cup. His eyes fell on the tea, but he asked Tongtian a question: "Second Junior Sister, why did you suddenly decide to focus on cultivating Duobao?"

Tongtian didn't think much about it at first, thinking that he could just pick someone at random. But since Laozi asked, he began to think seriously. Duobao's cultivation results over the years were indeed mediocre, and there was still a gap compared to Zhao Gongming. Why did he choose Duobao?
He made his choice based on his intuition, but if you really ask him why, he himself can't explain it clearly.

Tongtian shook his head, Laozi chuckled, and began to briefly analyze Duobao's situation: "Duobao has a calm personality, and his path of cultivation is quite smooth, but his progress is not great. However, I think Duobao's strength is far more than what we see on the surface. He may have hidden his true ability, and his future is limitless."

Hide? Tongtian smiled and shook his head indifferently, not taking Laozi's words to heart.

"Big Brother, how is this possible? Duobao has followed me for so many years, and I know his strength best." As the master, he felt that he had the most say.

However, Laozi shook his head helplessly and said slowly: "Second Junior Sister, it seems that you don't know Duobao very well. Disciples will encounter bottlenecks during their cultivation. You can compare the number of times Duobao and other disciples have encountered bottlenecks."

Tongtian thought about it carefully and it seemed that it was just as Laozi said. Duobao had always been unknown and he had not paid much attention to him.

Now that I think about it, I actually have a very capable disciple hiding beside me.

He looked at Laozi and couldn't help wondering: Senior Brother has almost never set foot on Jin'ao Island, so why does he know the situation here so well?
Tongtian raised his doubts, and Laozi was stunned for a moment, and explained helplessly: "Ever since Shiji recognized you as the second master, I have been paying attention to you."

So that's how it is, Tongtian suddenly realized. He didn't expect that the senior brother could observe so carefully, which made him wonder if he didn't do well enough.

The scene turns to the other side, Shiji returns to the Wu clan alone, and the first person he looks for is Dijiang.

"Sister, why are you back?" Di Jiang was surprised. He put down the work in his hands and walked quickly to Shiji.

Shiji smiled and motioned Dijiang to sit down, "Brother, I came back to tell you the news of the defeat of the two saints in the West. I'm sure everyone knows it."

Dijiang's expression became serious when he heard this. The situation was a little awkward, so Shiji changed the subject: "Brother, are the uncles still in the Wu Clan?"

Di Jiang nodded. The two saints from the demon clan stayed in the witch clan for quite a long time this time, but everyone got along well, so he took the initiative to keep them. During this period, he even had some illusions that the witch and lich clans could live in harmony.

Seeing Dijiang's reaction, Shiji was secretly happy. He originally thought that Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun were able to stay in the Wu Clan for so long because of his presence. Now it seems that even if he is not here, nothing will happen. Isn't this great?
"Sister, you didn't come back just to tell us the news of our defeat, did you? If you need any other help, just let me know. I will help if I can." Di Jiang said, staring at Shiji with his narrow eyes.

Shiji was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Dijiang could see through his thoughts. He looked at Dijiang sadly, and blurted out the question in his heart: "Brother, have you ever thought about letting the two tribes get along like friends?"

Friends? Di Jiang pursed his lips. He had thought about this question before, but reality was always cruel. How could he get what he wanted?
After a long time, he came back to his senses, looked at Shiji and said, "I thought about it, but it's useless. Even if we get along like this, we can never be friends. The two races of wizards and liches are irreconcilable. The situation can be improved, but it can't be solved fundamentally."

The palace fell into silence.

Shiji felt disheartened, realizing that everything she had done was in vain.

He stood up and left. Dijiang looked at Shiji's receding back and sighed deeply.

These indisputable facts cannot be changed after all.

Shiji was hesitating between returning to Jinao Island and visiting her brothers, but was spotted by Dijun who was returning from searching for treasure.

"Nephew, why are you here?" Di Jun rushed forward in surprise. He now had a lot of good things he wanted to give to Shiji.

Shiji turned around and was very surprised.

"Uncle Di Jun, why are you here?" The temporary bedroom where they lived was not here.

Di Jun smiled and explained, "I went to look for some treasures nearby and was thinking about when to give them to you. I didn't expect to meet you here, so I'll give them all to you."

After saying that, he took out everything from the space and handed it to Shiji.

This surprised Shiji very much. What was going on? Why did Uncle Dijun suddenly give him something?
He was about to refuse, but as soon as he looked at Di Jun, the expression on Di Jun's face changed.

With no other options, Shiji had to accept it.

"Thank you, Uncle Dijun. I came back this time mainly to talk to Brother Dijiang about something, and now I am planning to go back."

Going back? So soon? "Is it urgent?" Di Jun asked. He felt half as happy as before during the days when Shiji was away.

Shiji shook his head and Dijun stopped him immediately.

"Since you have nothing to do, then stay and play. Tongtian can't keep holding you, right? Come on, let's go!" Di Jun pulled Shi Ji towards the bedroom. Shi Ji thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so she gave a helpless smile and followed Di Jun.

On the way, Shiji looked at all the familiar things, but felt inexplicably melancholy in her heart.

It would be great if the relationship between the two tribes of wizards and liches could be as he wished. Di Jun glanced at Shi Ji from the corner of his eye, and felt that he was in a bad mood. He couldn't help but wonder: What did my nephew talk about with Di Jiang that made him so depressed?

"You finally decided to come back." As soon as the two entered the bedroom, Donghuang Taiyi's voice came over.

Shiji looked in the direction of the voice and saw Donghuang Taiyi meditating with his back to them.

"Uncle Taiyi." he shouted.

Donghuang Taiyi suspected that he was hallucinating. How could Shiji's voice appear? He opened his eyes and turned around quickly. When he saw Shiji, he stood up and rushed to Shiji, confirming it several times.

"Di Jun, why did my nephew come back suddenly?"

After the three of them sat down, Donghuang Taiyi couldn't wait to ask. Di Jun smiled and told them the whole story.

After learning the whole story, Donghuang Taiyi felt a little disappointed. It seemed that his nephew did not come back to see them specially.

"Nephew, I see that you are in a bad mood. Did you have an unpleasant chat with fellow Daoist Dijiang?" Di Jun finally couldn't help asking. He had been holding it in for so long!
Shiji's face froze for a moment, then she sighed. "When I came back this time, I told my brother about the defeat of the two saints of the West, and asked if the two races of witches and liches could get along harmoniously like friends, but the answer I got was very different from what I expected."

Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun were silent. In fact, they could probably guess how Dijiang would answer Shiji. Because if they were in his place, they might also say the same thing.

Although the conflict between the wizards and liches seems to have been resolved now, how can the grudges that have been accumulated for thousands of years be easily forgotten? Therefore, being friends is impossible.

Donghuang Taiyi looked up at Shiji, with a hint of pity in his eyes. He wanted to tell Shiji the truth, but he didn't want him to be troubled by these meaningless things.

"Nephew, I'm telling you the truth. Although I don't know what Daoist Dijiang said to you, the thousands of years of conflict between the two clans has only been resolved on the surface. It's only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution, so you can't achieve the result you want, and you won't be able to achieve it in the future."

Di Jun spoke first, he had already seen through Donghuang Taiyi's contradiction.

Shiji will know these things sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter whether she tells it sooner or later.

Never again... Shiji kept repeating these words in her heart.

He admitted that he suddenly found it hard to accept what Uncle Di Jun said.

Shiji spent a long time preparing herself mentally before slowly accepting this fact. "Uncles, I understand."

Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun looked at each other. They didn't know what Shiji was thinking, but since Shiji said so, they chose to believe it. "That's good." Donghuang Taiyi said lightly.

Shiji stayed in the Wu Clan for a few days. On the day of her departure, Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun thought that they didn't know whether Shiji would return to the Wu Clan. All the matters had been resolved, and there was nothing good to stay in the Wu Clan anymore. Besides, there were still many matters waiting for them to deal with in the Demon Clan.

"My fellow Taoists, Di Jun and I are saying goodbye here. Thank you for your hospitality in recent days."

"Brothers and sisters, I would like to thank you all for taking care of me. I am very grateful. I will say goodbye here and we will meet again when there is time."

In the hall of the palace, the eleven ancestor witches sat firmly on their chairs, while Shiji and Donghuang Taiyi bid farewell to everyone reluctantly, and the air was filled with a strong sense of reluctance.

Shiji suppressed the turmoil in her heart and decided to be the first person to leave.

As the figures of the three people gradually disappeared, Xuan Ming couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.

"Time flies like a white horse passing by in the blink of an eye." This sentence seems to encompass all the past and emotions.

After returning to Jiejiao, Shiji's life returned to the daily bickering between Tongtian and Yuanshi.

Once, Yuanshi took advantage of the moment when Tongtian was distracted and extended an olive branch to Shiji: "Shiji, are you willing to follow the Second Master to the Chan Sect and see a new world?"

Yuanshi secretly thought that if he could recruit Shiji into the Chan sect, it would be his capital for showing off for a long time.

However, Shiji's hesitation aroused Tongtian's vigilance.

He turned around abruptly and glared at Yuanshi: "Second Brother, are you trying to poach people from my Jie Sect? That's too much! Besides, there's nothing new in your Xian Sect, so you should just stay in my Jie Sect."

There was disdain in Tongtian's words, and the two of them immediately fell into a fierce argument.

"My Chan sect is in no way inferior to your Jie sect! On the contrary, you have let your disciple sit in this secluded place for many years. Aren't you afraid that she will feel suffocated?" Yuanshi did not give in.

Just as the two were arguing, Duobao appeared quietly and took Shiji away from the scene.

"Brother Duobao, why are you here?" Shiji followed Duobao to his island without Tongtian and Yuanshi noticing.

"I was just passing by, and seeing you in trouble, I brought you out to get some fresh air." Duobao poured a cup of tea, and his tone revealed a hint of helplessness, "Master and Yuanshi Saint are like this every time they meet, you don't need to care too much."

Shiji nodded absentmindedly, imagining in her mind the reactions of her two masters when they discovered she was missing.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and Duobao was shocked and quickly asked the reason.

"Nothing, I just thought of something interesting." Shiji explained awkwardly.

Duobao asked curiously, and Shiji told him the whole story, which made Duobao laugh out loud.

However, just as Shiji was talking excitedly, she suddenly noticed Duobao looking at her with a weird look, and she was so scared that she almost choked on her tea.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Shiji asked puzzledly.

Duobao came back to his senses and asked if there were any more interesting things. Shiji shook her head, indicating no. Duobao sat back in disappointment, while Shiji fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Tongtian accidentally discovered that Shiji was missing, and he became extremely anxious. (End of this chapter)
