Chapter 5: Yan Tian (V) If I Determine to Go Against Heaven
Too many things happened today, and the three of them had not yet reached the teleportation formation before dark, so Song Qingtang decided to sleep outside overnight.
"Senior sister, you should have some rest first. I will keep watch tonight." Chi Wanyin said this while adding firewood to the fire.
Song Qingtang nodded slightly. She was indeed tired after experiencing so much today. Although cultivators don't need to sleep, they still need to close their eyes and meditate to restore their energy.
Seeing her meditating with her eyes closed, Chi Wanyin walked towards Yin Xuechan. She took out the peach wood sword and lightly tapped it with her fingertips.
There was a pool of spring water and a flourishing peach tree. Chi Wanyin sat on the tree, looking down from above.
"Do you know Lin Anzhi?" Chi Wanyin asked. Her voice was very ethereal in this space, but it would not be transmitted out, so it was the safest.
When she heard the name, Yin Xuechan's eyelashes trembled slightly. It was a very subtle reaction, but Chi Wanyin did not miss it.
"I don't know him." Yin Xuechan said.
Chi Wanyin chuckled, "Don't you want to know where she is?"
Yin Xuechan always felt that she seemed to know something, so she had no choice but to stop hiding it. "Where is she?"
Chi Wanyin still smiled gently, "I don't know, I was just trying to trick you."
"You..." Yin Xuechan was furious, but she was young and couldn't think of any curse words at the moment.
Chi Wanyin folded his arms and looked at her, "She is your senior sister?"
When Chi Wanyin met Lin An in her previous life, she was already well-known among the demon cultivators.
As for Lin Anzhi, she was also very famous, but in a different way. It was said that everyone who had come into contact with her died, and she was an unlucky person.
However, Chi Wanyin didn't care about these and still made friends with Lin Anzhi.
Yin Xuechan nodded. "Lin... Anzhi used to be the senior sister of Silver Moon Valley, but she later defected from the sect."
"What's the reason?" Chi Wanyin asked. Yin Ruosu was being held hostage by her at the moment. If she dared to tell a lie, Chi Wanyin wouldn't mind killing her right now.
She shook her head. "I don't know."
Seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake, Chi Wanyin was still skeptical in her heart, but after all, her senior sister was still outside, so she released the sword realm. The next moment, the two of them were still in the wilderness, with Song Qingtang meditating beside them and a campfire.
After resting for a night, the three of them headed towards the teleportation formation again. However, Yin Xuechan no longer had the intention of bothering Chi Wanyin. He just kept his head down and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about.
When they arrived at the teleportation formation, Song Qingtang reminded the absent-minded Yin Xuechan, "Fellow Daoist Yin, we have arrived at the teleportation formation."
Yin Ruosu then raised her head and said, "It's been a pleasure getting along with you two, but it's time to part ways now. I'm looking forward to seeing you next time."
Yantian Sect has no right to deal with the disciples of Yinyue Valley, but the Immortal Alliance can. Song Qingtang has reported the matter to the sect. As soon as Yin Xuechan steps onto the teleportation formation, he will be escorted to the Immortal Alliance prison.
Standing on the teleportation formation, Yin Xuechan did not look afraid.
After the people left, Chi Wanyin said, "Senior Sister, she will definitely come back to seek revenge in the future." She had naturally witnessed how difficult Yin Xuechan was to deal with in the Nascent Soul stage.
Song Qingtang sighed, "Silver Moon Valley isn't some evil sect after all."
Chi Wanyin shook her head. Senior Sister was always so soft-hearted, but if she wanted to secure the position of the sect leader, she must be decisive and ruthless.
"From now on, if there is something that Senior Sister can't do, I will do it." Chi Wanyin said.
Anyway, she was a demon cultivator who was wanted by everyone in her previous life, so doing these things for her senior sister was nothing.
Song Qingtang just put his hand on her head and said, "No, you don't have to do this for me."
"Junior sister, I just hope you can be happy and don't have to bear so much." Song Qingtang said sincerely.
The memories of her past life suddenly came back to her. Chi Wanyin looked at the person in front of her who was half a head taller than her. Did she really think so?
Then why did she use the passing water to kill her?
Chi Wanyin couldn't figure it out.
She just lowered her eyelashes and whispered to her, "Okay."
When they returned to Yantian Sect, Liu Qianhe had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that the two were safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Did you get the sword?"
Song Qingtang pulled out the sword "Shi Shui", and the sword body shone with light, condensing into frost.
"What a good sword." Even though Liu Qianhe was not a swordsman, he still praised it.
Chi Wanyin took out the peach wood sword. Liu Qianhe was even more excited than when he saw Shishui just now, "Such a rich spiritual energy."
Although the sword body is ordinary, there is a green light on the tip of the sword, as if it contains countless pure wood-attributed spiritual energy.
Song Qingtang looked helplessly at Liu Qianhe, whose eyes were shining. "Don't bother Junior Sister for now. It's not easy to get the sword this time. Let her go back and rest first."
Because of Song Qingtang's words, Liu Qianhe let Chi Wanyin go, and the two continued talking after she left.
"You and I know it, it's just about getting the sword. Could something unexpected have happened along the way?" Liu Qianhe asked. As friends for many years, it would be a lie to say they didn't care.
Song Qingtang was silent for a moment before he said, "Something did happen, but it's nothing serious. I'm just worried about my junior sister... Her mind is still unstable, and if this continues, she might easily go astray."
Liu Qianhe was shocked. In her eyes, Chi Wanyin was still just a child. How could it be so serious?
"Isn't it too serious to say that?" Liu Qianhe said hesitantly.
Song Qingtang shook his head. "I hope I'm just worrying too much. When I go to the mortal city in a few days, I will bring her with me."
In addition to slaying demons and monsters, cultivators will also go to mortal cities to solve problems such as droughts and plagues. As the eldest sister, Song Qingtang naturally has the responsibility to do so.
Liu Qianhe nodded when she heard this. It seemed that she was going to keep the child by her side, but this was not a bad thing.
After the two of them finished talking, Liu Qianhe was still worried and went to find Chi Wanyin in person. She did not rest, but just sat in front of the bamboo house in a daze. Liu Qianhe thought she was scared.
"Junior sister, have you finished taking the pills?" Liu Qianhe asked.
Chi Wanyin finally came back to her senses, "No."
Seeing that she seemed to be worried, Liu Qianhe said something to ease her mood, "You can go down the mountain with your senior sister in a few days."
In the previous life, the senior sister did not take her with her when she went down the mountain. Did she discover something?
But Chi Wanyin just nodded and said, "Okay." Her expression was so obedient that there was nothing wrong with it.
Liu Qianhe looked at his well-behaved junior sister carefully and could not see any signs of her going astray. Perhaps Song Qingtang was really overly suspicious.
*
On the day of going down the mountain, Song Qingtang and Chi Wanyin went together.
After walking up three thousand steps, for convenience, Song Qingtang did not take the flying boat with her, but flew on a sword. Chi Wanyin did not know how to fly a sword, so the two of them stood on the Flowing Water Sword together.
Song Qingtang concentrated on flying the sword, but thinking that this must be his junior sister's first time riding a flying sword, he comforted her without turning his head: "If you feel scared, you can hold me tight."
Chi Wanyin felt that this feeling was very novel. The Flowing Water Sword passed through the sea of clouds, and there were other creatures hidden in the sea of clouds. Only when they occasionally floated up to breathe could she catch a glimpse of a fish tail.
They flew on their swords all the way and finally arrived at this mortal city at dusk. This mortal city was not big, and they were surrounded by people as soon as they landed.
The leader was a middle-aged man with luxurious clothes and a big belly. He could be considered respectable, but I heard that there had been drought here for days and the land was barren for thousands of miles. Chi Wanyin frowned when she thought of this.
The middle-aged man said, "Immortal, I hope you can protect us."
When Chi Wanyin looked at him, she thought of the young men in fancy clothes who bullied her in her previous life. They were just people who relied on their status and didn't care about the lives of others, so she quietly tugged at Song Qingtang's sleeve.
Song Qingtang shook her hand back, signaling her to calm down. With a smile on his face, he said to the wealthy businessman, "I see you're still safe and sound, so why would you ask for protection?"
After saying this, she asked the person beside her, "Where are the refugees outside the city resettled?"
After getting the directions, Song Qingtang thanked him and took Chi Wanyin out of the city.
The scenes outside and inside the city were completely different. The people inside the city were still dressed decently, but the refugees were ragged and lived in simple straw huts, or if there were no straw huts, they could only sleep on the ground.
If it weren’t for my senior sister, I might have been one of them, Chi Wanyin thought.
When those ragged people saw the two people standing on the flying swords, they just kept kowtowing, "Immortal, please save us."
Song Qingtang stepped down from the flying sword and helped the old man, who was so thin that only skin and bones were left, to stand up. "Old man, please get up quickly. You don't have to kneel before us. We are here to solve this drought."
Song Qingtang took out spiritual rice and spiritual seeds from his storage bag. "These are spiritual seeds. They can produce spiritual rice without water. However, the quantity is limited. I'm afraid it can only last through the drought. After the drought eases, you will need to cultivate it yourself."
Everyone was naturally overjoyed. Song Qingtang and Chi Wanyin were busy distributing spiritual seeds and spiritual rice. They were busy until the moon was at its zenith, and then they returned to the city to rest.
When Chi Wanyin stepped onto the roof, she saw her senior sister holding her chin as if in a daze.
As the eldest senior sister, Song Qingtang never reveals her emotions, and Chi Wanyin couldn't remember how many years it had been since she had done so.
"Senior Sister." Chi Wanyin called her in a low voice.
Song Qingtang stared at his junior sister. She seemed to have grown a little taller. Since coming to Yantian Sect, Chi Wanyin's body has grown like a string.
"I was wondering, if I hadn't practiced cultivation, would I have been just an ordinary mortal?" Song Qingtang said as he looked at the distant mountains and dusk.
Chi Wanyin shook her head. "Senior Sister, you are not ordinary. Even if you are a mortal, you can save many people."
"Really?" Song Qingtang asked back.
Chi Wanyin nodded. Before she could continue, Song Qingtang smiled with a hint of helplessness, "I've actually been enlightened by my junior sister. Master often teaches us to maintain a stable mind during cultivation, but I know I'm not that kind of person. What's the point of being a cultivator like me if we don't strive to be the best?"
When Song Qingtang said this, the first ray of sunlight in the distance was falling on her, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.
Song Qingtang jumped down from the roof holding Chi Wanyin's hand, and then Chi Wanyin saw the small golden flowers in the bushes.
It is so inconspicuous, perhaps just a wild flower that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, but it grows so vigorously.
On the last day of disaster relief, Song Qingtang used his magic to control the clouds and rain, bringing the long-awaited rain to this mortal city. The raindrops fell on the people, but they were unaware of it and were only filled with joy.
Naturally, people came to see them off when they left. The children put woven wreaths on Song Qingtang and Chi Wanyin's heads. They used the same golden flowers that she had seen on the roadside that day.
The two of them walked out of the city. Now that the disaster had eased, they should return to the sect to report. However, Song Qingtang was not in a hurry. She still held Chi Wanyin's hand and did not fly on swords. The two of them just walked on the road like ordinary mortals.
Chi Wanyin felt the warmth of her senior sister's palm and asked, "Senior sister, is this all we can do?"
Song Qingtang looked at her. Yantianzong's clothing was simple, with only a touch of bright golden color, like the morning sun he saw that day, which was dazzling.
So she just sighed and said, "Yes, the will of heaven is that cultivators should not be too contaminated by the mundane world. This is all we can do."
Chi Wanyin was silent for a long while before she spoke slowly but firmly, "What if I insist on going against the will of heaven?"
"Excessive wisdom will lead to harm." Song Qingtang shook his head.
Chi Wanyin lowered her eyes. She had experienced the price she paid in her previous life, but why was she willing to accept it?
