Chapter 6: If Only She Were My Sister
Su Youwei got up early in the morning.
Because she wanted to protect the best Elder Martial Sister Bai in the world, she couldn't wait and wanted to cultivate as soon as possible.
If Martial Sister Bai Lian hadn't repeatedly told her that cultivation couldn't be rushed, she would have stayed up all night.
Not long after coming out of the room, she heard a thump.
The sound was rhythmic.
"?"
With doubts, Su Youwei followed the sound.
Then…
In the same place last night, she saw a woman in a Blue Maid Dress waving an axe, cutting firewood.
It's Qing Luan.
Damn it！
A beautiful day ends with seeing Qing Luan!
Why is Qing Luan here?
Su Youwei wiped her eyes hard. She thought she might be hallucinating, but she wasn't.
After splitting a piece of wood again, Qing Luan stopped the action at hand.
She looked up and saw that it was her guiding light, younger Martial Sister Su Youwei!
Great.
Her face immediately burst into a bright smile. She threw the axe aside and took two steps to hold Su Youwei's hand to express her thanks.
But after seeing the sweat and sawdust on her palm, Qing Luan quickly withdrew her hand.
No, I can't dirty my benefactor's hands!
She said excitedly, "Younger Martial Sister Su, if not for your questioning, I wouldn't have realized."
Huh?
Su Youwei asked in a trembling voice, "What did you realize?"
Qing Luan looked up at the sky. The sky was so clear.
"Younger Martial Sister Su, I thought for a whole night, and I still didn't have a clear answer to those questions you asked. But this night's meditation made me understand that the reason I came to learn from Martial Sister Bai Lian was to solve these problems, and that I almost made a mistake about the karma relationship."
"……"
Qing Luan sighed, "I was thinking about whether I should give up. It was your words that made me firm my mind to stay. I want to try. It's been a long time since the last time I experienced life as an ordinary person. I don't know if I can do well. Martial Sister Su, please help me."
She smiled shyly as she spoke.
Hey, hey.
Sorry.
Hey, hey? What are you laughing about?!
Su Youwei was stunned. Did her words let Qing Luan stay?
She saw the axe falling on the ground…
It's hopeless.
A beautiful month ends with hearing Qing Luan's explanation!
Qing Luan, who didn't know what Su Youwei was thinking, repeatedly thanked Su Youwei.
"Is the axe held like this?"
"How many pieces of firewood do you want to cut?"
"Wouldn't it be bad to pile it directly by the roadside?"
Su Youwei felt that she was almost exhausted.
Until Qing Luan asked where she was going to water the flowers. She quickly stretched out her finger and pointed to the medicine garden.
"You can go water them by yourself. I have something to do first."
Su Youwei wanted to find a place to calm down. She thought of a warm and good place!
……
Outside the medicine garden.
When Bai Lian arrived at the scene, the atmosphere was tense.
It was obviously the jade rabbit that had the upper hand.
After all, it was fighting in its own territory, so it simply ignored Qing Luan. It could defeat ten such enemies at ease!
The jade rabbit jumped over at the sight of Bai Lian.
"Haw!"
The jade rabbit angrily pointed to Qing Luan with its left ear, and wrote the word "Steal" on the ground with its right ear.
Qing Luan quickly waved her hand, "Martial Sister Bai Lian, I didn't steal anything."
She was wronged.
She just came in to water a flower, how did she become a thief?
Bai Lian frowned. Of course, Qing Luan can't be a thief, but maybe she can take this opportunity to drive Qing Luan away from the Qiongming peak and cut off her bad mind.
At this time, the task appeared.
Task 1 was to let her take the opportunity to drive Qing Luan away, and Task 2 was to let her resolve contradictions.
Seeing that the former's reward was medical pills, Bai Lian immediately gave up this plan. The medical pills An Lan gave her were enough for her to use for a while, and it was more cost-effective to earn more skill points.
Choose Task 2.
"This is a misunderstanding…"
Bai Lian held the jade rabbit in her arms and gently stroked the jade rabbit's body to appease it.
Then she explained to Qing Luan that the medicine garden was managed by the jade rabbit, and even she would not interfere under normal circumstances.
Finally, the misunderstanding between Qing Luan and the jade rabbit has been resolved.
[Task completed. Light Skill+2]
"Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian."
Qing Luan followed Bai Lian with an ashamed look on her face.
Bai Lian said, "Since you want to stay in the Qiongming peak to study, I'll show you the environment of the Qiongming peak first, so as not to create unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Yes!"
Qing Luan hurriedly answered.
She made a big mistake on the first day. Fortunately, Martial Sister Bai Lian didn't blame her, but comforted her very kindly.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is really a gentle person!
After taking two steps, Qing Luan asked again, "Martial Sister Bai Lian, won't this delay your business?"
"It doesn't matter."
Bai Lian shook her head.
It doesn't make any difference whether you wander alone or walk around with Qing Luan. Anyway, the tasks will be published.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is an informal person.
Whether it's the "Front door" or the "Back door", a "Door" that could be accessed was a good door. Sometimes, the "Back door" could also bring an extraordinary experience.
If she took Qing Luan by her side, it could also prevent Qing Luan from disturbing others.
And over time, Qing Luan saw that she was so wary, that she might leave by herself.
This plan is wonderful!
Bai Lian kept smiling all the time. She led Qing Luan around the Qiongming peak all day and didn't stop until the evening.
On the hillside, Bai Lian sat on the ground, "Are you tired?"
Qing Luan shook her head, "I am not."
Looking at Martial Sister Bai Lian's "Kind" smile, how could she be tired?
It was a whole day. Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian didn't do anything else and walked around with her all day!
Even her master wouldn't do so much for her, would he?
It wasn't that her master ignored her. The main reason was that her master was very busy. As the Martial Sister of the Qiongming peak, Martial Sister Bai Lian had to be very busy too. It could be seen from the fact that the medicine garden was handed over to her pet to take care of.
Qing Luan was moved.
Her heart surged, like a water tank stirred by a stick, and it was difficult for her to calm down for a while.
She didn't know how to express her gratitude to Martial Sister Bai Lian.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian was so kind to her. She would keep studying and never give up halfway!
"Sit down and have a rest."
Bai Lian patted the open space beside her, and she was brewing her lines.
"Well."
Qing Luan quickly sat down.
After a while, Bai Lian continued, "To be an ordinary person, what matters is not what you do, but your attitude!"
"?"
"Anyone can do such things as watering flowers, chopping firewood and walking around. Ordinary people can do it, and so can cultivators."
Qing Luan felt thoughtful.
Is Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian saying that she was only acting, not actually doing these things?
"But the mentality is different. Many times, even if you realize that there is a problem with your mentality, it is difficult to change it. I think you can try to take a shortcut."
"Shortcut?" Qing Luan was puzzled.
Bai Lian explained, "Yes, what was your state of mind before you formally embarked on the road of cultivation? In retrospect, although it has disappeared now, it is after all what you once owned. It is always easier to find something you once had than to discover something entirely new."
Qing Luan nodded.
She had also lived an ordinary life in the past, though she was a little richer than those civilians!
What was her state of mind at that time?
Qing Luan tried to recall the memory of her childhood. Although it was a little vague, in short, she was very happy.
But all this changed after her sister, who had been away from home for many years, came back from the Duxian sect.
Hong Luan told her she had extraordinary qualifications and had the possibility to rise to the Immortal World in the future, so she was brought back to the Duxian sect.
Parents, uncles, sisters, her master…
Except for herself, everyone was very happy. But no one cared about her feelings.
Because she was just a "Child".
From the beginning, she was cultivating for "Cultivating".
When she absorbed spirit Qi in the cold winter, she once wanted to give up. So tired and cold.
When the medical pills she swallowed hit her meridians, she once wanted to give up. So painful and uncomfortable.
When she…
Her sister told her that if she insisted, she would become her most powerful assistant in the future.
No matter at that time or now, Qing Luan doesn't think this was something worth looking forward to.
She could have been a happy rich lady.
She could have really started cultivating only for longevity.
But the will of others was imposed on her. Since then, cultivation could not be a happy thing for her.
Qing Luan gave a wry smile.
Had it not been for the guidance of Martial Sister Bai Lian, she would never have examined her heart so thoroughly.
It turned out that she had the idea of surpassing her sister at that time.
She wanted to surpass her sister, not because her sister blocked the light on her body - that didn't matter. She just wanted to vent her unwillingness. Why should she live according to the will of others?
Qing Luan looked sideways at Bai Lian, who was looking up at the sky.
The sky…
She looked up.
What came into her view was the moon that gradually became mellow.
The bright brilliance seemed to reflect her sister's face, but soon that face was replaced by Martial Sister Bai Lian's beautiful face.
Qing Luan used all the beautiful words in the world to describe Martial Sister Bai Lian. For a moment, she suddenly felt that it would be wonderful if Martial Sister Bai Lian was her real sister.
That way, she wouldn't have to step into the cultivation world.
She would still be her, but she would be a firework of different colors.
In meditation, Qing Luan's heart shook, and a prominent crack appeared, as if it could be easily pierced.
……
Until dusk.
Bai Lian returned the sleepy Qing Luan to her temporary residence before returning to her own room.
She was not going to sleep tonight. She wanted to seize the time to refine the magic bead that An Lan gave her.
She climbed into bed and unconsciously saw the pictures hanging on the wall.
How harmonious it is.
There will be more pictures on the wall in the future. At least two more Martial Sisters will be added.
Bai Lian smiled.
She was about to take out the bead, when she suddenly felt something abnormal.
"Huh?"
Bai Lian jumped out of bed and walked quickly to the wall.
Right. It's the location!
If she remembered correctly, her painting should have been between the master and the second Martial Sister, but now how did it become sandwiched between the third Martial Sister and the master?
