C76 (1/2)

Yue Qingsi was a little agitated. I don't understand either, I'm not the kind of person who would be extremely kind and trustworthy on the first impression. Why would she open up her scar and let me experience her pain?

Perhaps she saw the sadness in my eyes and felt that we were all living in such pain. In her eyes, we were truly people from the same world. The melancholy that was buried deep in her heart would never stop once it was let loose.

However, I was willing to listen to her story and to feel her pain. It was as if two losers had the same feelings and were narrating their own misfortune. Perhaps, this was what they meant by 'rely on'.

”Little sister, big sister. Perhaps, I should be the little sister. She should be the big sister … Do you know what she said when I asked her why she didn't hate me? She said that in this world, if one must hate even their only kin, then living would be such a painful thing … ”

”In the end, I'm not as mature as her. Even if she forgives me, I'm still unable to shake off the jealousy towards her. That year, Master took a liking to us and helped us take revenge, but even Master had to favor her because of her talent? Now that she was dead, why did I feel so lost? These dozens of years, I relied on seeking the truth to numb myself by helping her seek revenge. I let my guilt be covered up by hatred, but I know that I owe her for my entire life … ”

Wine, glass after glass, I do not know how much we drank tonight, only that she was drunk.

When she was carried back, she was still crying and mumbling about the pain of the past. She hadn't even finished speaking of her pain when she was already drunk.

The recurrence of her old injuries and the overdraft of her spiritual energy made her willpower extremely weak. Perhaps it was because of this that she would reveal her true feelings to someone like me, who wasn't familiar with her, and choose to let herself get drunk. As for me, I understood from her drunken speech that the slight tremble in the killing array was caused by her attack on the Enlightenment Spirit Formation.

I don't blame her. What am I blaming her for?

That night, I sat by her bedside and silently instilled spirit energy to heal her wounds.

As the sky brightened, Yue Qing's hair gently trembled as she slowly opened her eyes. Perhaps, the person sitting beside her caused her to be slightly startled. However, after recalling it for a moment, she wasn't that surprised anymore.

”Don't worry, I didn't do anything to you.”

Seeing that her tear-stained face showed some surprise, I smiled and turned to leave.

After a while, Yue Qingsi walked out. However, she saw that my expression was a bit unnatural.

I didn't want to bring up those sad things of hers, so I asked, ”Does your sister have children with Song Qianxi?”

”Children?” Yue Qing was stunned, she shook her head, ”No, I examined my younger sister's corpse. She … she was not destroyed.”

”Hmm?” Strange, who is that Dr. Song? Perhaps, Song Qianxi was not Doctor Song's father at all. Doctor Song was merely a child that he had obtained from an unknown place in order to conceal his identity.

”What else do you know about Song Qianxi?”

Yue Qingsi shook her head. ”Back then, he was a core disciple in the Gui Yun Sect and received great affection from the Sect Leader and the elders. After my sister died, he disappeared. I don't know anything else.”

”Since you don't know, then forget it.” I looked at the sky and whispered, ”Let's go.”

With Yue Qing's speed, she was still quite a few days away from Soy Flower City. On the way, she didn't speak again, but didn't recover her ice-cold expression. Instead, she followed beside me like an ordinary person.

He had arrived at the Soy City!

I told Yue Qingsi to stay outside while I sneaked into the Song Residence to find Old First Song's room.

Seeing me standing in his room, the eyes of old man Song, or as Yue Qingsi had said, his name, Song Qianxi, lit up. He hurriedly stood up and said, ”Little friend, have you retrieved the body?”

I didn't reply. I indifferently said, ”Song Qianxi, a disciple of the Gui Yun Sect and dao companion of the Thousand Illusionary Sect, Yue Liuli. I have no children.”

Song Qianxi was stunned for a moment. The hope on her face dissipated as she let out a bitter laugh, ”It seems that you know quite a bit.”

”Speak, what else are you hiding from me?”

”What do you want to know?”

”I don't need to pursue the matter where you lied to me. I only have one question for you, Yue Liuli. How did she die?”

”She?” Song Qianxi tilted her head as she looked at me before turning her head back. ”What does it have to do with you?”

”On account of the fact that Brother Song called you 'Father', I was able to speak to you in such an amiable manner. I could have used my own way to know everything!”

”Oh? You don't care about the fact that your brother and sister-in-law saved your life? ” Song Qianxi looked at me with a face full of ridicule, as though she thought that a favor would be enough to swallow me up.

I took a deep breath and said coldly, ”You're playing with fire!”

”Fire, this is not how you play. Yue Qingsi, come out.”

My expression shook. Song Qianxi is only a mortal. How did he sense the concealment of Yue Qingxi's hair? What other tricks does this Song Qianxi have?

The window suddenly opened and Yue Qingsi clenched her teeth as she stared at Song Qianxi.

”Hmph. Since you've discovered it, I'll go straight to the point. My sister, was it you who killed her?” Yue Qing's hair also seemed to be unable to restrain her anger. Her entire body slightly trembled as she forcefully suppressed the urge to attack.

”I already knew that she had an elder sister. Now that I look at it, she really does look a bit similar. However, you are completely inferior to your sister. Even after so many years, you've only just reached the sky.”

Song Qianxi, his cultivation is still around, and he's even much stronger than me.

”You're courting death!” Yue Qing's hair was burning with anger. Just as she was about to make her move, she was stopped by me.
