The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment

Book 11: Chapter 20 (3)

Bai Lian couldn't help but recall the fate of the Third Martial Sister from the Sand Region, and remembered the second Martial Sister who lost her father as well.

Her gaze softened considerably towards Lu Wantong.

She bent down and grasped Lu Wantong's wrist.

If you keep tapping like this, your hand will swell.

She said, "Martial Sister Lu, it's not your fault, it's Blood Sword Sect's fault. You don't have to torture yourself."

"No, it's me, it's me!"

Lu Wantong cried out.

Bai Lian softly said, "It's not you."

Lu Wantong insisted, "It's me!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Damn it"

Damn!

Bai Lian suddenly became angry.

She is generally very rarely angry, and even if she is angry at most it's just gritting her teeth and glaring, then quietly cursing in her head.

She couldn't resist completely today.

Girl, you deserve a good scolding!

She grabbed Lu Wantong's collar with a ferocious gaze as if she could swallow a person in one bite.

"I'm going to give your brain a workout right now!"

"I…"

Just as Lu Wantong opened her mouth, a giant sheet of ice water fell from the sky and drenched her.

"Hiss -"

The girl hugged her chest with both hands and took a deep breath of cool air.

Bai Lian coldly said, "Are you awake now?"

Lu Wantong nodded blankly.

Humph!

╭(╯^╰)╮

Bai Lian suddenly felt much more at ease in her heart.

But she also had doubts.

By all accounts, the system should have already released the tasks by now. Why isn't it doing anything?

This is not systematic!

She could only ask first, "Where is the Blood Sword Sect?"

Lu Wantong unconsciously responded, "It has already been wiped out."

Oh?

"What about your father?"

Lu Wantong said, "I just received the news, my father's condition is under control and there is no life-threatening danger in the short term."

"?"

No wonder the system didn't publish any task.

Isn't this very good?

What the hell?

Stop complaining if you're not hurt!

Bai Lian really wanted to grab Lu Wantong's ears and loudly ask, "Are you deliberately trying to look for fun from me?"

Don't think I'm some kind of character -- I'm actually really fierce!

These people…

Yeah, Kite, and Ji Shi, both were scared to death by me.

Aren't you afraid of me?!

Bai Lian glared fiercely at Lu Wantong.

But she didn't get any feedback from Lu Wantong.

Sigh.

Bai Lian muttered softly under her breath, "My Martial Sisters have suffered more than you, but they are much stronger than you. You, you still have to practice a lot more!"

"…"

Lu Wantong gazed blankly at Bai Lian.

To be honest, she felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Shouldn't Bai Lian harshly punish her?

How come she suddenly started to care about me?

Bai Lian explained, "I'm not accusing you. People can't be generalized. Some people are willing to sacrifice their parents for personal gains, while some are willing to sacrifice themselves for their parents. You… don't have to force yourself to imitate anyone. Cultivation, in the end, is all about finding your true self."

Lu Wantong was silent.

Bai Lian continued, "Actually, I'm quite envious of your, Martial Sister Lu."

"Huh?"

Lu Wantong was out of breath.

What need do you, as a reincarnated immortal, have to envy someone like me, who is as insignificant as a blade of grass?

Bai Lian gazed at the clouds in the distance.

The clouds in her eyes are never seen by her as distant relatives like in a TV drama.

(Translated by Gravity Tales ??)

"At least your father is still alive, while I'm not. Now and in the past, I have already faded away the impression of parents, as if… they never existed."

Bai Lian tried to recall.

She couldn't remember anything.

She crawled into a dark cave and kept crawling forward until she squeezed through a narrow gap into an open, new land.

When she went to see with delight, what she saw were only the two people who had taken care of the young Bai Lian in the Past World.

Bai Lian knows.

That is just a dream created by the system, and her parents there are just two "strangers".

Her sense of loneliness comes from this.

Luckily, from the very first day she arrived in this world, and the moment she appeared here, she met her master.

[When golden wind meets jade dew, it surpasses countless encounters in this world!]

At that time, no matter how much her master neglected her, she was not resentful.

Because she treated the Qiongming Peak as her home and her master as a family member.

Family.

Someday she will slowly understand it.

Bai Lian had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Lu Wantong surprisingly found Bai Lian's back view looked a bit gloomy.

She stood so close, yet somehow felt distant.

It almost seems like if you ignore her, she'll run off to a place where nobody can find her.

"White Emperor Bai Lian, I'm sorry…"

Bai Lian turned around abruptly.

She smiled and said, "You can still call me Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian. The title White Emperor Bai Lian sounds awkward; don't worry, I don't mean to blame you."

Alas.

Lu Wantong sighed heavily.

Bai Lian said, "I just came back from outside. When I saw you like that, I thought something had happened to you. I'm glad you're all right. Are you going to the Qiongming Peak with me or to Qingyu Peak?"

Hum?

Lu Wantong suddenly froze.

Doesn't this phrase of Bai Lian imply that their meeting was just a coincidence?

Coincidence…

Then what she did just now…

Lu Wantong was too afraid to keep thinking.

She mumbled, "I…I want to go back to Qingyu Peak first."

"That's good."

Bai Lian nodded.

At her speed, it only took a few minutes for her to arrive at the foot of Qingyu Peak with Lu Wantong.

"Go back, I'm leaving too."

Bai Lian said goodbye and was about to go back to the Qiongming Peak to rest.

But only two steps after she left, there came a call from Lu Wantong.

"Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian!"

"What's the matter?"

Bai Lian turned around, her face full of helplessness.

"I…"

Lu Wantong was hesitant.

She wanted to ask Bai Lian if it was really a coincidence that she passed by the Guangtong Sect's station.

But this question is too intentional.

She took out a few low-grade Spirit Stones.

"These are the Spirit Stones that Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian lent me last time, and now I can return them to you."

Bai Lian waved her hand, "You should keep it for now, come to me when you have more money. Oh, I still need to apologize to you. My fifth Martial Sister doesn't know to control her strength, and you must have gone through a lot these past few days, right?"

Lu Wantong shook her head quickly, "I can't say I'm suffering."

"Hmm, come again next time with Martial Sister Tong Yao."

Lian smiled as she turned away.

She walked away so quickly that she disappeared from Lu Wantong's sight in a flash.

Lu Wantong looked down at the Spirit Stones in her palm.

That white, round, and full one lying in her palm…

It's as if it's the smile of Bai Lian.

Her heart fluttered.
